Talviaisten rahapaja : luku- ja kirjoitustaidon hyödyntäminen rahanväärennöstarkoituksiin 1800-luvun puolivälissä

2022

Luku- ja kirjoitustaito muodostivat 1800-luvun puolivälissä sekä yksilön että hänen lähiyhteisönsä näkökulmasta tärkeää aineetonta pääomaa, koska etenkin maaseudulla ne olivat harvinaisia taitoja. Niiden avulla oli mahdollista saavuttaa hitaasti karttuvaa yhteisöllistä luottamusta, rakentaa verkostoja ja saavuttaa henkilökohtaisia etuja, joista monet liittyivät myös taloudelliseen menestykseen. Näitä taitoja saattoi käyttää myös pikavoittojen hankkimiseen yhteisöllisten normien näkökulmasta kyseenalaisin keinoin, esimerkiksi väärentämällä rahaa. Kivijärveläinen Erkki Turpeinen oli taitava rahanväärentäjä, joka osasi hyödyntää luku- ja kirjoitustaitoaan omiin tarkoituksiinsa. Pohdin artikkel…

Effects of overnight military training and acute battle stress on the cognitive performance of soldiers in simulated urban combat

2022

Understanding the effect of stress, fatigue, and sleep deprivation on the ability to maintain an alert and attentive state in an ecologically valid setting is of importance as lapsing attention can, in many safety-critical professions, have devastating consequences. Here we studied the effect of close-quarters battle (CQ battle) exercise combined with overnight military training with sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, namely sustained attention and response inhibition. In addition, the effect of the CQ battle and overnight training on cardiac activity [heart rate and root mean square of the successive differences (RMSSD)] during the cognitive testing and the relationship between ca…

Challenges for surgical residents' practice-based learning

2013

This chapter explores the practice-based learning of surgical residents. We concentrate on the challenges encountered and experienced by the residents during their clinical practice. In line with Billett (2010), we understand learning through practice as a process that arises through the exercise of occupational activities. For the surgical residents this means that they learn through participating in various kinds of hands-on surgical practices and interactions in clinical wards and units. peerReviewed

The aggregation of sustainability performance measuring at company level : a case study

2015

Industrial companies face constant scrutiny about their sustainability performance development and comprehensive sustainability performance measuring is demanded from them. Companies are measuring their sustainability performance with various and multitude indicators, but it is difficult to look into the overall sustainability performance of companies based on plentiful and variable sustainability measures. There is no universally accepted method to measure the overall sustainability performance of a company, though tools for this purpose are developed. This qualitative case study research aims to shed light on whether the sustainability indicators of a case company could be aggregated in a…

Forecasting pollutant emission of the urban vehicular running fleet by means of synthetic indicators

2003

The simple method here presented, devoted to the evaluation of the environmental performances of transportation systems, is mainly referred to the pollutant emission factors released within the "COPERT III” approach. The method is here adopted for building up a synthetic indicator of the whole pollutant emissions from the transportation sector in a given urban area. The indicator can be utilised in the aim of comparing the environmental effects of different transportation policies: the introducing of modal changes in the transportation demand from private cars to public vehicles, for examples, could be suitably analysed. Apart the knowledge of the proper pollutant emission factors, the meth…

Greening a university campus: trends of energy consumption and possible sustainable paths

2014

Recent years have seen an increasing public interest in issues related to energy saving and environmental pollution reduction of public buildings, such as those in university campuses, that should set an example of sustainable development. University campuses are usually characterized by the daily presence of a high number of people working and living in a relatively limited area. They are sites of a wide spread of functions, ranging from teaching to laboratory activities, from housing and food preparation to local transportation. All these activities require remarkable amount of energy that, actually, are not always utilized with the best possible efficiency. This calls for a deep reconsid…

Sustainability initiatives and the stakeholders involved : a case study of the GOLDEN Project and the electric utility industry

2017

This piece of research focuses primarily on which are the main types of sustainability initiatives within the electric utility sector with direct attention on five companies being Eletrobras, Rheinisch-Westfälisches Elektrizitätswerk AG, Fortum, Copel and Edison. Additionally this research looks at the primary stakeholders who are both the drivers and recipients of these specific set of sustainability initiatives. In order to obtain results to these questions, I examined the sustainability reports of the five aforementioned companies for years 2008 and 2014 from the GOLDEN Project database. I used qualitative content analysis as my method to establish which initiatives and stakeholders were…

CAP POLICY DIMENSIONS: A CATALYST FOR COLLABORATION AND SUSTAINABLE CHANGES

2015

A great challenge to EU livestock production markets is the growing production price and the farmers' income variability. The public request for traceability and accountability determined the EU agri-food policy to implement new sustainable reform. In this paper the author identified a set of inputs and impacts of CAP sustainable reform on livestock system.International major competitors are assessed to benchmark the competitiviness of EU agri-food industry.

’Green’ strategies and approaches. A contribution from the off-site and upcycling of discarded shipping containers

2021

La Terra versa oggi in una condizione di vulnerabilità che gran parte degli studiosi attribuisce a un modello di crescita infinita inseguita su un pianeta con risorse limitate. In relazione a questo contesto ambientale critico il contributo si propone di stimolare nuove prassi per il settore delle costruzioni suggerendo una visione sistemica che faccia ricorso contemporaneamente a più approcci sostenibili e circolari e che, combinando tecniche e tecnologie tradizionali e innovative, consenta l’eliminazione di scarti e rifiuti. In particolare, l’articolo illustra le potenzialità della prefabbricazione nel contenimento degli impatti ambientali diretti e indiretti rispetto a un’equivalente cos…
