Taivaallista väkeä : Kuutti Lavosen enkeleitä ja pyhiä henkilöitä kuvaavien teosten visuaalista tulkintaa ikonografian ja intertekstuaalisuuden avulla

2016

Pro gradu -tutkielma käsittelee suomalaisen graafikon ja taidemaalarin Kuutti Lavosen (1960) tuotantoa. Erityisesti huomion kohteeksi on valittu taiteilijan enkeleitä ja pyhimyksiä kuvaavat teokset. Samalla luodaan katsaus taiteilijan henkilökuvaan ja uraan. Tutkimus sijoittuu visuaalisen kulttuurin tutkimuksen kentälle. Miten Kuutti Lavonen kuvaa teoksissaan enkeleitä ja pyhimyksiä? Miten eurooppalaisen kulttuuriperinteen vaikutukset näkyvät taiteilijan luomassa modernissa taiteessa? Tässä tutkielmassa haetaan vastauksia näihin edellä mainittuihin tutkimuskysymyksiin. Tutkimusmetodeiksi ja teoreettiseksi pohjaksi on valittu ikonografia ja intertekstuaalisuus. Niiden avulla pyritään luomaan…

Finnish reform of the funding and provision of special education : the views of principals and municipal education administrators

2015

This study examines the current state of special education provision and resources in Finland after the extensive reform of the government transfer system and Basic Education Act implemented in 2010–2011. Data were collected from a survey of compulsory school principals and from interviews with the highest-ranking officials in municipal education administration. The results show that participants viewed the Basic Education Act as having a more significant impact on the provision of special education than the reform of the government transfer system. Partly due to the reforms, local authorities have targeted the resources of special education differently and used resources more effectively. …

INDUSTRY - A PILLAR OF STRENGTH ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. ROMANIAN SEQUENCES

2012

In the last 300 years, industry was the key driver of economic development and social, political, military, cultural and spiritual, which are inconceivable without the contribution of this important sector of the economy of any country. At least in these 300 years since the first industrial revolution, industrialization took place in every country in the world along with free trade, protectionism alternation - free schimbism contributing to balancing economic and social development. Nothing is more important than industry between the four basic economic sectors (agriculture, industry, trade and transport). Recrudescence services of any kind, but also the unprecedented quaternary sector (lei…

Using the Electronics Development Advantage in Creating a Buzz for the Airline Passengers

2013

More and more airlines are trying to show their customers their ability to understand their needs, the market trends and the importance of technology in their lives. In response to the rapid development of the consumer electronics, the airline companies focus their attention on offering their customers the possibility to book a flight or check-in using a smartphone, spend time watching movies or be connected to the internet during the flight. Customers search for airlines who are more ”tech-geek” and opened to new technologies, which allows them to rate the airline companies through apps or connect more often with the airline through social-media. Technology has become an important part in …

Beyond life-skills: talented athletes, existential learning and (Un)learning the life of an athlete

2022

Following developments in educational discourse more broadly, learning discourses in youth sport have been shaped by outcome-based and instrumental goals of developing useful life-skills for ‘successful’ lives. There is, however, a need to expand such traditional understandings of sport-based youth development, which we undertook by exploring existential learning in sport through encountering discontinuity. We conducted in-depth qualitative research with 16 Finnish athletes (seven men/nine women, aged 19–20), five of whom had recently disengaged from the athlete development pathway. In the interviews, we used creative non-fiction vignettes to invite reflections on learning experiences in sp…

Water compatible gold(III)-catalysed synthesis of unsymmetrical ethers from alcohols.

2008

An efficient and broad-scoped method for the preparation of unsymmetrical ethers from alcohols catalysed by the simplest and least expensive gold catalyst, NaAuCl 4 , is described for the first time. The procedure enables the etherification of benzylic and tertiary alcohols with moderate to good yields under mild conditions with low catalyst loading. Symmetrical ethers, the usual side products in the etherification of alcohols, were not detected in this case. The formation of the racemic ether from a chiral benzyl alcohol suggests the intermediacy of a carbocation, which has not previously been postulated for gold-catalysed reactions involving alcohols.

Organocatalysts Fold to Generate an Active Site Pocket for the Mannich Reaction

2017

Catalysts containing urea, thiourea and tertiary amine groups fold into a three-dimensional organized structure in solution both in the absence as well as in the presence of substrates or substrate analogues, as indicated by solution NMR and computational studies. These foldamer catalysts promote Mannich reactions with both aliphatic and aromatic imines and malonate esters. Hammett plot and secondary kinetic isotope effects provide evidence for the C-C bond forming event as the turnoverlimiting step of the Mannich reaction. Computational studies suggest two viable pathways for the C-C bond formation step, differing in the activation modes of the malonate and imine substrates. The results sh…

Suitable for Western Audiences: UNESCO and the Self-fulfilling Prophecy of Cinematic Cultural Diplomacy

2020

Through a reading of cinematic cultural diplomacy in the post-World War II UNESCO context, this study focuses on the potential cinema holds for speaking to the politics of difference. Traditionally seen as problematic and conflictual, this study suggests that for UNESCO, difference is not the source of war and conflict, but of peace. It provides an analysis of Orient: A Survey of Films Produced in Countries of Arab and Asian Culture, a 1959 film catalogue published by UNESCO and the British Film Institute with the aim to “stimulate the presentation of films which might give audiences in the West a fuller and more informed idea of the ways of life of Eastern peoples”. This study treats the c…

...ja Sana oli Jumala : Jumalan ruumiilliset metaforat Anna-Mari Kaskisen laululyriikassa

2015

Pro gradu -tutkielmani käsittelee Anna-Mari Kaskisen laulujen Jumalaan tai Jeesukseen viittaavia metaforia. Tutkimuksen fokuksessa on Jumalan ruumiillisuuteen ja inhimillisyyteen tai johonkin aistihavaintoon liittyvät metaforat. Raamattu-alluusioiden avulla tarkentuu, millainen kuva Jumalasta metaforista syntyy. Keskeisimpänä tutkimuksen apuvälineenä on Gilles Fauconnierin ja Mark Turnerin kognitiivisen metaforateorian pohjalta kehittelemä blending-teoria. Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan oleellisimpia metaforia blending-kaavion avulla. Kustakin metaforasta kootaan elementtejä kahteen lähtöaineskenttään, joista heijastetaan ainesta yhdistelykenttään. Yhdistelykentässä muodostuu metaforan tulkinta…
