Characterization of the contamination fingerprint of wastewater treatment plant effluents in the Henares River Basin (central Spain) based on target …

2022

The interest in contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) has increased lately due to their continued emission and potential ecotoxicological hazards. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are generally not capable of eliminating them and are considered the main pathway for CECs to the aquatic environment. The number of CECs in WWTPs effluents is often so large that complementary approaches to the conventional target analysis need to be implemented. Within this context, multitarget quantitative analysis (162 compounds) and a suspect screening (>40,000 suspects) approaches were applied to characterize the CEC fingerprint in effluents of five WWTPs in the Henares River basin (central Spain) durin…

Smooth and non-smooth traveling wave solutions of some generalized Camassa–Holm equations

2014

In this paper we employ two recent analytical approaches to investigate the possible classes of traveling wave solutions of some members of a recently-derived integrable family of generalized Camassa-Holm (GCH) equations. A recent, novel application of phase-plane analysis is employed to analyze the singular traveling wave equations of three of the GCH NLPDEs, i.e. the possible non-smooth peakon, cuspon and compacton solutions. Two of the GCH equations do not support singular traveling waves. The third equation supports four-segmented, non-smooth $M$-wave solutions, while the fourth supports both solitary (peakon) and periodic (cuspon) cusp waves in different parameter regimes. Moreover, sm…

Conflictual Rebordering: The Russia Policies of Finland and Estonia

2023

This article seeks to analyse the process of conflictual rebordering in the EU’s relations with Russia. The authors single out three major crises that triggered and shaped the process of toughening the border regime and the related transformations of political meaning of the EU-Russia border: the COVID-19 pandemic, the drastic deterioration of Moscow-Brussels relations in the beginning of 2021 and the war in Ukraine that started on 24 February 2022. Correspondingly, the EU’s reactions to each of these critical junctures might be described through the academic concepts of governmentality, normativity and geopolitics. Our aim is to look at the three ensuing models – governmental, normative an…

Euroopan keskuspankin rahapolitiikan arviointi Taylorin säännön avulla

2015

Tässä pro gradu –tutkielmassa tarkastellaan Euroopan keskuspankin rahapolitiikkaa vuosina 1999-2014 Taylorin säännön avulla. Taylorin sääntö on yksinkertainen rahapolitiikkasääntö, joka kuvaa, kuinka keskuspankin tulisi reagoida muutoksiin inflaatiossa ja tuotantokuilussa. Tässä tutkimuksessa perusmuotoisen Taylorin säännön lisäksi tarkastellaan sääntöä, joka huomioi Euroopan keskuspankin odotukset tulevasta inflaatiokehityksestä. Lisäksi tutkitaan, onko EKP:n pääjohtajien vaihdoksilla sekä euroalueen pienten talouksien suhteellisen painon kasvulla euroalueessa ollut vaikutusta Taylorin säännön kertoimiin. Sääntöjä estimoidaan sekä jälkikäteen korjatusta että reaaliaikaisesta aineistosta. T…

Policy Brief: Developing Education Policies in Europe to Enhance Cultural Literacy

2019

Europe needs education policies that seek to advance intercultural dialogue in a way which reflects the super-diversity of today’s Europe, support respect for diversity and difference, and enable the growth of young people’s identities. The DIALLS project seeks to respond to these needs by developing the concept and idea of cultural literacy and creating a Cultural Literacy Learning Programme for young people. For DIALLS, cultural literacy means a social practice that is inherently dialogic and based on learning and gaining knowledge through empathetic, tolerant and inclusive interaction with others. DIALLS’ qualitative content and concept analysis of European and national education policy …

Policy Brief: Clarifying Culture-Related Concepts in European Education Policies

2019

Education policies are crucial means to enhance peaceful co- existence in a culturally diverse Europe. Culture is, however, a challenging policy topic as general references to it may raise a question of ‘what and whose culture’ the policies are addressing. Based on the DIALLS project’s concept analysis of the EU's and the Council of Europe’s education policy documents, we recommend reducing their ambiguity by being explicit and precise with regard to the culture-related concepts contained within them. Target audience: Authors of future European education policies.

The parliamentarization of the common agricultural policy and its role as a global actor

2018

The entrance of the European Parliament (EP) in the decision-making process of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) did not signify a great reform of this policy. Even though some advancement was made and the role of the EP was recognizable, the parliamentarization of the CAP was mostly based on micro-level amendments. Therefore, one can assume that the EP missed this opportune moment of the post Lisbon treaty era and did not use it to its full extent. Despite this, the CAP is still a recognizable and influent foreign policy mechanism enhancing the role of the EU as a global actor. nonPeerReviewed

The new European Parliament : the Common Agricultural Policy under codecision after the Treaty of Lisbon

2018

In this thesis, a long analysis has been undertaken that has dealt with a multitude of issues pertaining to the EU, European integration theories, codecision, the Lisbon treaty, the Common Agricultural Policy, transports policy, and environmental policy. One of the most important aspects this thesis has intended to develop is the examination of the changes in the CAP after its inclusion in the codecision system with the Lisbon Treaty after 2009 and until 2014 (seventh legislature of the EP). Interpreting these changes involves the history of the parliamentarization of the EU, mostly since the Maastricht treaty but also since the Treaty of Rome of 1957, as well as the analysis of the EP’s de…
