Agent-based modelling of values: the case of value sensitive design for refugee logistics

2020

We have used value sensitive design as a method to develop an agent-based model of values in humanitarian logistics for refugees. Schwartz's theory of universal values is implemented in the model in such a way that agents can make value trade-offs, which are operationalized into a measure of refugee wellbeing and a measure of public opinion about how the refugee logistics is being handled. By trying out different ‘value-scenarios’, stakeholders who are responsible for, or involved in refugee logistics can have insights into the effects of various value choices. The model is visualized and made usable as a platform (interactive website) for decision-makers to understand the trade-offs in pol…

Näennäinen normi vai elettyä demokratiaa?

2021

Lasten osallisuus on yksi tämän hetken ajankohtaisista keskusteluista suomalaisessa varhaiskasvatuksessa ja laajemminkin yhteiskunnassa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelemme lasten oikeuksiin ja osallisuuteen keskittyneeseen koulutuskokonaisuuteen osallistuneiden opiskelijoiden puhetapoja lasten osallisuudesta ja yhdenvertaisuudesta. Aineisto muodostuu opiskelijoiden yksilöhaastatteluista ja ryhmäkeskusteluista (n = 31). Kysymme, millaisia puhetapoja lasten osallisuudesta on tunnistettavissa opiskelijoiden haastattelu- ja ryhmäkeskustelupuheesta. Erotimme diskurssianalyysin avulla neljä puhetapaa: osallisuus normina, rajattu ja näennäinen osallisuus, eletty osallisuus ihanteena sekä pakeneva os…

Short-time non-work-related computing and creative performance

2014

It has been argued that non-work-related computing (NWRC) takes time away from work and, hence, decreases work productivity. On the other hand, it has also been claimed that short-time non-work-related computing (STNWRC) (a maximum of 15 minutes), has a positive impact on work productivity, including relief from boredom, higher creativity, and the underlying recovery mechanisms. To examine the impact of STNWRC on creative performance, we draw on Fredrickson's broaden-and-build theory, the concept of recovery with mental well-being and low cognitive effort. A 2 × 2 factorial experiment with 40 subjects was conducted. The results indicate that STNWRC has a positive effect on creative performa…

Indigenous language education in Russia: current issues and challenges

2021

Despite the high number of recognised Indigenous groups who are struggling to maintain their languages, cultures, and identities in Russia, there is little research done on the matters of cultural and linguistic revitalisation. This study sought to address this gap by exploring the views of two Indigenous groups, Karelian and Mari, on the development of their Indigenous languages and educational strategies to protect and revive their languages. The study relied on in-depth one-on-one interviews with 20 participants, ten from each Indigenous group. The findings show that despite older generations’ relative proficiency and interest in their respective Indigenous languages, motivation to maste…

Bestsellereiden arvot

2011

Tutkimukseni käsittelee arvoja bestsellereissä: millaisia arvoja bestsellereissä on, onko eri teoksissa samankaltaisia arvoja vai poikkeavatko teosten arvot huomattavasti toisistaan. Tarkastelen arvoja kolmessa vuonna 2008-2009 Euroopassa bestsellerlistoille nousseessa teoksessa: Khaled Hosseinin kirjassa A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007), Stieg Larssonin teoksessa Män som hatar kvinnor (2005), sekä Carlos Ruiz Zafónin romaanissa El Juego del Ángel (2008). Tutkimuksessa yhdistyvät sosiologinen kirjallisuudentutkimus, temaattinen tutkimus ja kirjallisuussosiologia. Tarkastelen näitä kirjoja erityisesti bestsellereinä, eli käsittelen bestsellereitä omana kirjallisena kenttänään. Teoksista esiin…

Ylikuormitusta, lähijohtajan tuen puutetta vai vääränlaisia tehtäviä : miksi yhä useammat vanhustyöntekijät harkitsevat työnsä lopettamista?

2021

Yhä useampi suomalainen vanhustyöntekijä harkitsee nykyisen työnsä lopettamis-ta. Artikkelin mukaan työntekijöiden psykofyysinen kuormitus on selvästi keskeisin lopettamisaikeita ennustava tekijä. Lisäksi lopettamisaikeita ennustavat epäkohdat työn sisällössä ja lähijohtamisessa. Nuoret, yrityksissä työskentelevät, osa-aikatyötä tekevät ja yli kahden vuoden hoitotyön koulutuksen saaneet vanhustyöntekijät har-kitsivat työnsä lopettamista muita vastaajia tavallisemmin. Increasing numbers of employees working in the care of older people in Finland are seriously considering leaving their jobs. This article examines factors that predict care workers’ leaving intentions. The data consist of NORDC…

Comparing deep‐end confinement in England & Wales and Norway

2022

Extreme forms of custody represent the boundary points of state power. The configuration of the most restrictive corners of prison systems, and what goes on within them, is highly instructive in exposing the objectives, limits, and implications of state coercion at its most severe. Based on data collected in England & Wales and Norway, this article has two main aims. The first is to explore the degree to which “deep-end” confinement differs between jurisdictions with different penal philosophies. The second is to understand how the most extreme form of confinement in each jurisdiction differs from the more typical carceral experiences within each system and its overall penal ethos. Empirica…
