Workplace democracy and republican freedom
2021
In this chapter, Keith Breen and Onni Hirvonen examine the case for democratic worker voice based on the republican ideal of freedom as non-domination. While not unconvincing, this case is primarily consequentialist in character and therefore open to significant empirical disagreement. Indeed, together with republican arguments for democratic worker voice, there are republican arguments for worker voice that reject workplace democracy, republican arguments that see state regulation plus a universal basic income (UBI) as sufficient for minimizing workplace domination, and republican arguments that focus exclusively on exit rights and are hostile to augmenting workers’ voice. Breen and Hirvon…
The Datafication of Hate: Expectations and Challenges in Automated Hate Speech Monitoring.
2020
Laaksonen, S-M.; Haapoja, J.; Kinnunen, T., Nelimarkka, M. & Pöyhtäri, R. (2020, accepted). . Frontiers in Big Data: Data Mining and Management / Critical Data and Algorithm Studies. doi:10.3389/fdata.2020.00003 Hate speech has been identified as a pressing problem in society and several automated approaches have been designed to detect and prevent it. This paper reports and reflects upon an action research setting consisting of multi-organizational collaboration conducted during Finnish municipal elections in 2017, wherein a technical infrastructure was designed to automatically monitor candidates' social media updates for hate speech. The setting allowed us to engage in a 2-fold investiga…
Borges: La nueva metafora entre arte y ciencia
2010
Nello sforzo di decifrare e mettere a nudo le difficoltà derivanti dal tentativo di operare, quasi come un nuovo Spinoza, una sintesi tra la tradizionale visione metafisico-teologica del mondo e gli esiti della nuova scienza sul piano dell’epistemologia, Borges si fa straordinario interprete letterario dei tormenti intellettuali propri dei grandi pensatori dell' inizio del XX secolo. È questa tensione, all’interno di quella che Borges definirà “diversa intonación de algunas metáforas” , a trasformare i suoi saggi e le sue poesie e, in un secondo momento, i cuentos–ensayos, in uno spazio privilegiato in cui indagare i meccanismi primi che generano le idee. All’interno di una simile prospetti…
Koneluettava lapsi? : opetuksen datafikaatio ja automaatio Minä-Se -suhteiden tuotantokoneistona
2022
Tämän artikkelin tavoitteena on laajentaa digitalisaatiosta, datafikaatiosta, automaatiosta ja kasvatuksesta käytävää teoreettista keskustelua. Artikkelissa pohdin sitä, millaisia merkityksiä koulutuksen kiihtyvällä datafikaatiolla ja automaatiolla on opettaja-oppilassuhteille ja ylipäätään käsityksellemme formaalin kasvatuksen olemuksesta. Käsitteellisesti ammennan Martin Buberin dialogisesta filosofiasta, erityisesti Minä–Sinä- ja Minä–Se-käsitepareista, jotka kuvaavat eri tapoja, joilla ihmiset ovat suhteissa toistensa kanssa. Datafikaatio ja automaatio tuovat uusia näkökulmia Buberin ideoihin, erityisesti Minä–Se-suhteeseen. Oppilaan representaatio ei rakennu enää vain yksilön, tässä op…
Fasti seicenteschi nella scrittura di Gesualdo Bufalino
2009
Il saggio esamina le peculiarità del barocco dissonante di Gesualdo Bufalino. In Bufalino l’artificio dello stile sottende una tensione ideologica. L’intensità espressiva e l’eccesso verbale cercano di compensare un vuoto e costituiscono, nel sentire dello scrittore, un formidabile mezzo «per contrastare l’ossificazione del mondo». Bufalino rivendica quindi il valore strutturale della propria scelta barocca, dichiarando che la sua scrittura è sorretta da un «barocco borrominiano» in cui «l’ornato è funzione», in mancanza del quale «l’architettura cadrebbe».

Regulon-Specific Control of Transcription Elongation across the Yeast Genome
2009
Transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II was often considered an invariant non-regulated process. However, genome-wide studies have shown that transcriptional pausing during elongation is a frequent phenomenon in tightly-regulated metazoan genes. Using a combination of ChIP-on-chip and genomic run-on approaches, we found that the proportion of transcriptionally active RNA polymerase II (active versus total) present throughout the yeast genome is characteristic of some functional gene classes, like those related to ribosomes and mitochondria. This proportion also responds to regulatory stimuli mediated by protein kinase A and, in relation to cytosolic ribosomal-protein genes, it is medi…
Genomic portrait of a sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis case in a large spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 family
2020
Background: Repeat expansions in the spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) gene ATXN1 increases the risk for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), supporting a relationship between these disorders. We recently reported the co-existence, in a large SCA1 family, of a clinically definite ALS individual bearing an intermediate ATXN1 expansion and SCA1 patients with a full expansion, some of which manifested signs of lower motor neuron involvement. Methods: In this study, we employed a systems biology approach that integrated multiple genomic analyses of the ALS patient and some SCA1 family members. Results: Our analysis identified common and distinctive candidate genes/variants and related biolog…
Dog sperm head morphometry: its diversity and evolution
2017
Dogs have been under strong artificial selection as a consequence of their relationship with man. Differences between breeds are evident that could be reflected in seminal characteristics. The present study was to evaluate differences in sperm head morphometry between seven well-defined breeds of dog: the British Bulldog, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Spanish Mastiff, Staffordshire Terrier, and Valencian Rat Hunting dog. Semen samples were obtained by masturbation and smears stained with Diff-Quik. Morphometric analysis (CASA-Morph) produced four size and four shape parameters. Length, Ellipticity, and Elongation showed higher differences between breeds. MANOVA revealed di…
