Designing education democratically through deliberative crowdsourcing : the case of the Finnish curriculum for basic education

2020

In Finland, curriculum design is allegedly carried out through a deliberative process that involves various stakeholders, interest groups, experts and ordinary citizens. To facilitate participation in curriculum design, online crowdsourcing has been applied. The objective of this study is to explore to what extent the design process of the latest Finnish national curriculum for mathematics was open, democratic and deliberative. The theoretical framework of the study is the theory of democratic will-formation of the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas. The comments given on the early version of the core curriculum of mathematics were analysed using directed content analysis, in which the abov…

Shaping Citizenship : A Political Concept in Theory, Debate, and Practice

Poliittisten käsitteiden kiistanalaiset merkitykset Irlannin ja Iso-Britannian parlamenttiunionista käydyssä debatissa, 1798 - 1800

2015

Pro gradu -tutkielma käsittelee kiistanalaisten poliittisten käsitteiden käyttöä Irlannin ja Iso-Britannian parlamenttiunionista käydyssä julkisessa keskustelussa 1798 – 1800. Keskustelu autonomisen Irlannin ja Iso-Britannian kuningaskuntien yhdistymisestä alkoi Irlantia kesällä 1798 ravisuttaneen kapinan seurauksena. Parlamenttiunionista käydyn sanasodan aikana poliittiset keskustelijat perustelivat omia kantojaan usein vetoamalla poliittisiin periaatteisiin. Nämä argumentit tarjoavat käsitehistorialliselle analyysille hedelmällisen aineiston, jonka pohjalta voidaan tutkia ajan kiistanalaisten käsitteiden käyttötapoja ja puhujien/kirjoittajien niille antamia merkityksiä. Tutkimuksen aineis…

Environmental context determines pollution impacts on ecosystem functioning

2023

Global change assessments have typically ignored synthetic chemical pollution, despite the rapid increase of pharmaceuticals, pesticides and industrial chemicals in the environment. Part of the problem reflects the multifarious origins of these micropollutants, which can derive from urban and agricultural sources. Understanding how micropollutants harm ecosystems is a major scientific challenge due to asymmetries of stress across trophic levels and ecological surprises generated by multiple drivers interacting in human-impacted landscapes. We used field assays above and below municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in 60 sampling locations across 20 Swiss streams to test how micropoll…

"Toimikaa, älkää odottako" : Vihtori Kosolan puheiden muutokset 1929-1936

2015

The dissertation is concerned with the speeches of Vihtori Kosola (1884–1936), recruiter of jäger, strike breaker and activist. Kosola assumed the leadership of the Lapua Movement in 1929. His most significant speeches were delivered on the peasants’ march of 7 July 1930 and on the 15th anniversary of the war of independence on 16 May 1933. Kosola was a political speaker and the figurehead of the Patriotic people’s movement (IKL) founded in 1932. The Study focuses on Kosola’s speeches applying rhetorical-semantic concept analysis with regard to the changes occurring in the main concepts. Changes in the speeches are used to explore the concepts of democracy and application of the law in Finl…

Kansalaistottelemattomuus : julkisuuden strategiasta legitimiteetin kritiikkiin

2021

Kansalaistottelemattomuus ei ole vain aktivistien strategia, jolla pyritään saamaan julkisuutta kulloinkin tärkeäksi koetulle asialle. Käsitteen historiasta käy ilmi, että kansalaistottelemattomuus on keino herättää keskustelua julkisen vallan ja sen oikeuttamisen perusteista. nonPeerReviewed

Nanoporous kaolin – cellulose nanofibril composites for printed electronics

2017

Cellulose nano- and microfibrils (CNF/CMF) grades vary significantly based on the raw materials and process treatments used. In this study four different CNF/CMF grades were combined with kaolin clay pigment particles to form nanoporous composites. The attained composite properties like porosity, surface smoothness, mechanical properties and density properties depended strongly on the raw materials used. In general, higher kaolin content (~80 wt%) led to controllable shrinkage during drying, which resulted in improved dimensional stability of composites, compared to a lower kaolin content (~50 wt%). On the other hand, the use of a plasticizer and a high amount of CNF/CMF was essential to pr…

Górnicze miejsca pamięci jako tworzywo do opracowania tematycznego szlaku kulturowego w przestrzeni Rudy Śląskiej

2019

Dramatyczne wydarzenia, w których jednorazowo ginie większa liczba osób, pozostawiają po sobie materialne ślady w postaci obiektów architektonicznych: pomników, tablic pamiątkowych, krzyży, a także kaplic. Nie inaczej jest w przypadku katastrof górniczych. Miejsc upamiętniających tragicznie zmarłych w kopalniach węgla kamiennego w krajobrazie osiedli górniczych i pogórniczych jest bardzo wiele. Przedmiotem artykułu są miejsca pamięci nieszczęśliwych wydarzeń w kopalniach na obszarze Rudy Śląskiej, które powstały od połowy XIX wieku po współczesność. Ze względu na liczne przykłady ich występowania (pomniki, mogiły zbiorowe, małe obiekty sakralne) mogą one stanowić interesujące tworzywo do op…

Multi-currency regime and markets in early nineteenth-century Finland

2020

Pre-industrial money supply typically consisted of multiple, often foreign currencies. Standard economic theory implies that this entails welfare loss due to transaction costs imposed by currency exchange. Through a study of novel data on Finnish nineteenth-century parish-level currency conditions, we show that individual currencies had principal areas of circulation, with extensive co-circulation restricted to the boundary regions in between. We show that trade networks, defined here through the regional co-movement of grain prices, proved crucial in determining the currency used. Market institutions and standard price mechanisms had an apparent role in the spread of different currencies a…
