Extended Families as Communities of Religious Experience in Late Seventeenth-Century Eastern Finland
2022
AbstractThis chapter offers an interpretation of extended families as communities of experience in a rural area close to the eastern border of the Swedish realm. Through a case study of lower court records, Kuha examines the social and religious life in a 17th-century farm culminating in the crisis of an extended family. The chapter explores how practices of lived religion shaped the relationship of the community and the individual, and how experiences were negotiated within families and local communities. The analysis highlights the importance of protecting the boundaries of the household as well as the meaning of religious practices in creating cohesion within the community.
Aux antipodes du modèle normatif de la féminité : la femme criminelle dans "Thérèse Raquin" d’Émile Zola et "Thérèse Desqueyroux" de François Mauriac
2020
A woman who killed or intended to kill her husband is the main character in two novels belonging to the Realist movement. Both the protagonists have the same given name: Therese. Zola’s Therese Raquin is a “real” killer, incapable of winning the “physiological” influence of her nervous temperament, her cowardice and hypocrisy, while Mauriac’s Therese Desqueyroux, whose criminal intentions failed, is a mysterious person whose main problem is her incompatibility with her milieu. Both novels show a criminal woman as the opposite of the accepted model of womanliness.
Exceptional women: Female merchants and working women in Italy in the early modern period
2018
The chapter examines the juridical construction of working woman in Italian cities during the medieval to modern period. In fact, the world of work and production had been generally thought by medieval and early modern jurists to be a sphere best left to self-regulation by the interested parties, an autonomous field, if not quite extraneous to the grand systems of Roman and canon law. But many regulatory and legal sources demonstrate the relevance of merchant and working women in the economic system. This sources concern three items, regarding female work and family roles: female membership and activities in the Italian guilds; women’s property and capability to act; the relationship betwee…

Modelli lignei e architettura in Sicilia tra XV e XVI secolo
2020
La realizzazione di modelli lignei nel processo di creazione di opere architettoniche in Sicilia è documentata a partire dalla fine del XV secolo. Oltre ad alcune testimonianze nel campo dell’architettura militare, si tratta principalmente di edifici chiesastici, nei quali una articolata committenza svolge un ruolo propositivo. Nell’ambito delle comunità benedettine, in particolare, trova riscontro l’esistenza di un modus operandi che include la realizzazione di modelli lignei. Da tale modalità operativa, tuttavia, non rimane esclusa l’architettura civile. Questo contributo analizza le testimonianze relative a tale casistica, valutando l’attendibilità per il contesto in esame dei parametri …
Longitudinal Patterns of Ethical Organisational Culture as a Context for Leaders’ Well-Being: Cumulative Effects Over 6 Years
2021
AbstractThe aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate the temporal dynamics of ethical organisational culture and how it associates with well-being at work when potential changes in ethical culture are measured over an extended period of 6 years. We used a person-centred study design, which allowed us to detect both typical and atypical patterns of ethical culture stability as well as change among a sample of leaders. Based on latent profile analysis and hierarchical linear modelling we found longitudinal, concurrent relations and cumulative gain and loss cycles between different ethical culture patterns and leaders’ well-being. Leaders in the strongest ethical culture pattern exper…
Emocionālā intelekta, darba nedrošības izjūtas un iesaistes darbā saistība
2020
Bakalaura darba pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistība starp emocionālo intelektu, darba nedrošības izjūtu un iesaisti darbā. Pētījumā piedalījās 188 respondenti, kas bija dažāda līmeņa darbinieki no dažādām nozarēm. Respondenti bija vecumā no 24 – 68 gadiem. Emocionālais intelekts tika mērīts ar Emocionālā intelekta aptauju (The Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test, Schutte, 1998, kā minēts Schutte, Malouff & Bhullar, 2009), iesaiste darbā mērīta ar Utrehtas iesaistes darbā aptauja, īsā versija (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale – UWES-9, Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003) un nedrošības izjūta par darbu ar Nedrošības izjūtas par darbu aptauja (Job Insecurity Scale (O´Neill and Se…
The Effect of Emotional Dissonance and Mental Load on Need for Recovery and Work Engagement among Italian Fixed-Term Researchers
2020
Although many studies have been conducted to evaluate the risk and protective factors on psychological health among academic staff, little attention has been paid to fixed-term researchers, the weakest figures in the academic context. By using the Job Demands&ndash
Teachers’ professional agency in a centralisation-decentralisation system and a hierarchical cultural context : the case of Hong Kong
2022
Teachers are frontline actors in actualising educational innovations. In some contexts, teachers’ professional agency is undervalued. This study investigated teachers’ agency and its related workplace affordances in Hong Kong, which features a centralised-decentralisation education governance system, and a hierarchical work culture. The study was based on 21 semi-structured interviews with teachers, and employed a deductive thematic analysis. Agency enactment was categorised into 1) pedagogical agency within classrooms, and 2) relational agency in the professional community. The factors contributing to workplace affordances were grouped as pertaining to 1) the collegial community, 2) school…
Photocatalytic nano-composite architectural lime mortar for degradation of urban pollutants under solar and visible (interior) light
2017
Abstract Recent advances in nano-technology and nano-additives can give enhanced properties to natural hydraulic lime (NHL), creating a multifunctional material. We have prepared a novel nanocomposite, made of a commercial mortar with 1 wt% and 5 wt% added titania nanoparticles (NPs). These TiO 2 NPs are themselves doped with 1 mol% silver, to give the material enhanced photocatalytic and antimicrobial properties. The Ag-doped TiO 2 NPs were made from a simple, costs effective, aqueous green nanosynthesis process, and the end material only contains 0.01–0.05% Ag. As this mortar is intended to both combat atmospheric pollution, and create more durable/lower maintenance building facades (plas…
