Sysmä Community Currency: An Analysis of its Success from the Perspectives of Purposes, Stakeholders and Promotion
2019
Artikkeli on tapaustutkimus paikallisrahajärjestelmästä, jota kokeiltiin äskettäin maalaisympäristössä Sysmän kunnassa. Paikallisraha on yksi innovaatiivisista aloitteista, joita kunta on tehnyt tällä vuosituhannella torjuakseen jo 1960-luvulta alkaen käynnissä ollutta väestökatoa. Tässä artikkelissa tutkitaan paikallisrahan käynnistysvaihetta siihen sisältyneiden ristiriitojen näkökulmasta. Artikkelissa todetaan, että järjestelmä kärsi epäselvästä tavoitteenasettelusta, ja että eri osallisilla oli tavoittesta vaihtelevia ja ristiriitaisia käsityksiä. Paikallisrahan sosiaalista hyväksyntää heikensivät päätös rajoittaa rahaa vastaanottavien yritysten joukko kunnassa kirjoilla oleviin yrityks…
Traces of the past: an interview study with Finnish war children who did not return to Finland after the Second World War
2017
ABSTRACTThis paper is an in-depth qualitative study based on interviews with 10 Finnish children who were evacuated to Sweden during Second World War and who did not return to Finland after the war. The interviewees were asked to tell about their lives. Nine of them were between 2 and 5 years and one was 7 years old at the time of evacuation. The aim was to study how their childhood experiences were reflected in adult memories, how they remembered or did not remember. This paper focuses on the consequences of not knowing about one’s early life and also on whether it is possible to observe signs of the Finnish mother. She did not appear explicitly but could be sensed in the tendency of the i…
Prescription opioid use and employment : A nationwide Finnish register study
2021
Background: The secular decline in labor market participation and the concurrent increase in opioid use in many developed countries have sparked a policy debate on the possible connection between these two trends. We examined whether the use of prescription opioids was connected to labor market outcomes relating to participation, employment and unemployment among the Finnish population. Methods: The working-age population (aged 19–64 years) living in Finland during the period 1995–2016 was used in the analyses (consisting of 67 903 701 person-year observations). Lagged values of prescription opioid use per capita were used as the exposure. Instrumental variables (IV) estimation method was u…

Experiencing ethical retail ideology in the servicescape
2020
Studies of the ideological underpinnings of retail stores have improved our understanding of consumers’ retail experiences in brand and national ideology contexts. In retailing, ideology is manifested in retail spatial settings through tangible and intangible cues in servicescapes. This study expands our knowledge on ethical retail ideology by exploring how servicescapes convey cues that shape consumption experiences and foster ethical consumption. Data from an ethnographic study highlight how consumption experiences in physical retail spaces embedding a particular ethical ideology can be thematised as aesthetics, nostalgia and care. We show that the material and discursive aspects in servi…
Examining Consumers’ Usage Intention of Contactless Payment Systems
2019
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and test a conceptual model that combines the modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) with a consumer brand engagement (CBE) model to predict consumers’ usage intentions toward contactless payment systems in a developed country. Design/methodology/approach The authors cooperated with a contactless payment service provider in Finland and reached out to 22,000 customers, resulting in 1,165 usable responses. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings The study shows that the UTAUT2 and the CBE model together explain approximately 70 percent of the variance in usage intention. Of the…

Rakstura audzināšanas ietvars skolām
2017
“Rakstura audzināšanas ietvars skolām” izskaidro, kas ir rakstura audzināšana un kāpēc tā ir svarīga. Ietvars aicina visas skolas skaidri norādīt, kā tās sekmē skolēnu rakstura attīstību. Tas ietver ‘Rakstura sastāvdaļas’: intelektuālos, morālos, pilsoniskos un darbības tikumus, kas darbojas kopā, lai attīstītu ‘praktiskās gudrības’ meta-tikumu. Tas ietver arī “Morālās attīstīšanas neoaristotelisko modeli”, kas attēlo iespējamos ceļus uz tikumisko dzīvi, izceļot agrīnas audzināšanas ģimenē nozīmi. Ietvars skolu apsvēršanai piedāvā rakstura audzināšanas perspektīvu, nevis gatavu rakstura audzināšanas projektu. Kaut arī tā ir izstrādāta skolu un skolotāju valodā, tā ir elastīga un piemērojama…

Mīļais Misiņa kungs!
1914
Vēstulē P. Šmits stāsta par "Etnografisku rakstu krājuma" 2. daļas rakstiem, kā arī lūdz bibliofilu J. Misiņu pameklēt A. Hupeļa rakstu, atsūtīt kalendāru 1914. gadam. Tie varētu būt gan P. Strautzeļa, gan Zvārguļa vai J. Gūžas sastādītie kalendāri. Vēl lūgums pēc "Dienas Lapas" etnogrāfiskajiem pielikumiem.
