Comparing Innovation and Social Media Strategies in Scandinavian and US Newspapers
2018
The article focuses on innovation and social media strategies in newspaper companies in the US and three Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway and Denmark). Many previous studies have focused on the state of journalism and media industry in single countries, although media have distinct features in different countries. Through the comparative setting, it is possible to examine the differences in media innovation strategies and study what factors affect innovation in media production, business models, sources of funding, and social media strategies. The qualitative part of the paper consists of semi-structured in-depth interviews (N = 65) with media managers and experts, which were carried …
Teacher emotional support in relation to social competence in preschool classrooms
2020
The present study aimed to investigate the associations between teachers’ observed emotional support and social competence among Finnish pre-schoolers (6-year-olds). The quality of emotional support was observed using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System Pre-K in 47 preschool classrooms twice across the preschool year. Teachers rated children’s social competence in autumn and again in spring, using the Multisource Assessment of Social Competence Scale (MASCS), which produced sum scores for cooperating skills, empathy, impulsivity, and disruptiveness. Consistent with the transactional model, we specified reciprocal (auto-regressive and cross-lagged) relationships within a Multilevel Struc…
Tunneälyn ja ohjauksen kompetenssit : onko ohjausosaamisessa mukana tunneälyä?
2016
Tämän tutkielman tarkoitus oli hahmottaa voisiko ohjausosaamisen kehittämisessä hyödyntää tunneälyn kompetensseja, ja onko Jyväskylän yliopiston ohjausalan maisterikoulutuksessa kehitetty Golemanin, Boyatzisin ja McKeen (2002) esittämiä tunneälyn kompetensseja. Tutkimus toteutettiin hyödyntämällä sekä teoreettista analyysia että empiiristä aineiston analyysiä. Teoreettisen analyysin kautta hahmotettiin sitä, miten tunneälyn kompetenssit linkittyvät ohjauksen kompetensseihin ja osaamisalueisiin. Teoreettista analyysia lähestyttiin hermeneuttisen tulkinnan keinoin. Empiirinen aineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla viittä Jyväskylän yliopistossa ohjausalan maisteriohjelmassa vuosina 2015–2016 opi…
Effect of the extensional flow on the properties of oriented nanocomposite films for twist wrapping
2011
In this study, we examined the mechanical behavior of nanocomposite films based on polyethylene (PE) and pristine PE films. The films were prepared by film blowing and were then cold-drawn at low temperature. The experimental results show that cold drawing significantly enhanced the orientation; with increasing draw ratio (DR), the elastic modulus and tensile strength of the PE films strongly increased, particularly in the presence of the organoclay. To obtain polymeric films suitable for twist wrapping, the films must be sufficiently stiff so that no shrinkage or elastic recovery occur during or after twisting. The elongation at break and the yield strain sharply decreased with orientation…
Processus d'évaluation de l'extension de marque par le consommateur : conception et validation d'un modèle de décomposition
2004
International audience; L'objectif de cet article est de montrer qu'il existe, au-delà du transfert de valeur de la marque, un transfert de valeur dû au produit en extension dans l'évaluation de l'extension de marque. Sur la base de la confrontation de trois champs de recherche rarement associés et complémentaires, nous proposerons le recours à deux déterminants de l'évaluation de l'extension de marque : le fit association et le fit contexte. Dans le cadre d'une étude empirique dans le domaine alimentaire, nous mettrons en évidence la supériorité du pouvoir explicatif de ces indices par rapport à la typicalité ainsi que le rôle modérateur de l'expertise. Les implications de l'étude sur l'ex…
Do Older Employees Suffer More from Work Intensification and Other Intensified Job Demands? Evidence from Upper White-Collar Workers
2019
Background: Working life today is characterized by acceleration and intensification due to social, and particularly technological, acceleration affecting the whole of society. These phenomena also affect working life by intensifying job demands, possibly imposing new job stressors on the workforce. At the same time workforce is aging, raising a question how older employees manage to cope with these work life changes. Methods: This study examined intensified job demands and their effects on occupational well-being from the age perspective utilizing Finnish survey data from upper white-collar workers (N = 2,200). Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and hierarchical reg…
Tutkimus valtion koulukotien erityistyöntekijöiden tehtävistä ja rooleista
2013
Vaatimukset ja odotukset lastensuojelulaitosten ja niiden työntekijöiden osaamiselle tiukkenevat päivä päivältä. Laitosten on kehitettävä toimintaansa ja osaamistaan. Myös valtion koulukodit ovat muutoksen edessä. Entiset itsenäiset koulukodit muodostavat nyt yhteisen palvelukokonaisuuden, joka sisällään kehittää toimintaansa ja palveluitaan vastaamaan alati vaativimpiin tarpeisiin. Valti-on koulukodit profiloituvat vaativan lastensuojelun ammattilaisiksi, joissa tarjotaan kasvatus-, ope-tus- ja hoitopalveluita. Tässä tutkimuksessa keskitytään työn sisällön ja työn tekemisen tutkimukseen. Teoreettisen ulottu-vuuden tutkimuksen aineiston analysointiin tuo sen tulkintaan liittyvä Juhilan (200…
The impact of periodic interviews on unemployment duration : Evidence from the 2017 Finnish reform
2023
In 2017, a Finnish policy reform intensified the Public Employment Services' practice of periodically interviewing unemployed jobseekers. This study used high-quality administrative data to analyse the effect of interviews on unemployment duration. We used a difference-in-differences approach that exploited regional variations in treatment intensity. Our results show that a 10 percentage point increase in interview probability increased the monthly hazard rate of employment by 3.1 per cent, with the effect being strongest among jobseekers aged 25–34 and jobseekers with a low education level. Also, our results demonstrate a strong effect on participation in active labour market programmes. p…
Prompt Determination of the Mechanical Properties of Industrial Polypropylene Sandwich Pipes
2021
A simple and prompt method to determine the mechanical properties of industrial multilayer extrusion polypropylene pipes for a gravity sewer network is suggested. The engineering formulas included for calculating the permissible thickness and relative position of a foam core in the pipes are based on a linear-elastic approximation and the rule of mixtures. The applicability of the approximation was justified experimentally during investigation of the effective tensile characteristics of single- and multilayer pipes and each layer specimen by using traditional tests and finite-element calculations. The results obtained were used to formulate engineering recommendations for calculations of th…
Ultra-High Energy Neutrinos at the Pierre Auger Observatory
2013
The observation of ultrahigh energy neutrinos (UHE nu s) has become a priority in experimental astroparticle physics. UHE nu s can be detected with a variety of techniques. In particular, neutrinos can interact in the atmosphere (downward-going nu) or in the Earth crust (Earth-skimming nu), producing air showers that can be observed with arrays of detectors at the ground. With the surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory we can detect these types of cascades. The distinguishing signature for neutrino events is the presence of very inclined showers produced close to the ground (i.e., after having traversed a large amount of atmosphere). In this work we review the procedure and …
