Sole coloration as an unusual aposematic signal in a Neotropical toad
2019
Many animals have evolved remarkable strategies to avoid predation. In diurnal, toxic harlequin toads (Atelopus) from the Amazon basin, we find a unique colour signal. Some Atelopus populations have striking red soles of the hands and feet, visible only when walking. When stationary, the toads are hard to detect despite their yellow-black dorsal coloration. Consequently, they switch between high and low conspicuousness. Interestingly, some populations lack the extra colour display of the soles. We found comprehensive support that the red coloration can act as an aposematic signal directed towards potential predators: red soles are significantly more conspicuous than soles lacking red colora…
Author Correction: Evaluation of three methods for biomass estimation in small invertebrates, using three large disparate parasite species as model o…
2018
Invertebrate biomass is considered one of the main factors driving processes in ecosystems. It can be measured directly, primarily by weighing individuals, but more often indirect estimators are used. We developed two indirect and non-destructive approaches to estimate biomass of small invertebrates in a simple manner. The first one was based on clay modelling and the second one was based on image analysis implemented with open-source software. Furthermore, we tested the accuracy of the widely used geometric approximation method (third method). We applied these three different methods to three morphologically disparate model species, an acanthocephalan worm, a crustacean and a flatworm. To …
Digital Activism in Russia: The Evolution and Forms of Online Participation in an Authoritarian State
2020
AbstractThis chapter describes how digitalization has affected activism in Russia by tracing the evolution, particularity, and the most visible forms of online activism in the context of the increasingly authoritarian Russian state. It discusses online activism in relation to “connective action” and illustrates it with two examples of contentious political activism: the anti-corruption campaign led by Alexei Navalny and the struggle to protect online communication from state surveillance by the Telegram messenger service. In addition, the chapter presents examples of Russian activism, which do not directly challenge the Kremlin.

Miten opettaja rakentaa pedagogisen auktoriteetin? Otteita opettajan arjesta
2002
Laadullisen tutkimuksen päätavoitteena oli pureutua siihen, miten opettaja ymmärtää ja rakentaa pedagogisen auktoriteettinsa koulun arjessa. Koska auktoriteettisuhde ei todennu ajatuksissa, puheessa ja kuvitelmissa, tutkin myös, miten auktoriteetti toimii ja saa oikeutuksen luokkatilanteessa. Pedagoginen auktoriteetti liitetään taustakirjallisuudessa toisaalta varsinaisen vallankäytön ulkopuoliseen, kasvatukseen liittyvään auktoriteettisuhteeseen, toisaalta korostetaan henkilösuhteen merkitystä auktoriteettisuhteen muotoutumisessa. Työn peruskysymys on sama kuin työn nimi: Miten opettaja rakentaa pedagogisen auktoriteetin? Osakysymyksiä ovat seuraavat: Mitä ilmiöön pedagoginen auktoriteetti…
Czym jest sobór dla Kościoła? Perspektywa rzymskokatolicka
2016
Council is a solemn assembly of the college of bishops and other members of the Church with and under the leadersh ip of the bishop of Rome or his envoy-legate. The councils deal with important and current issues of the Church, in particular concerning her unity in doctrine and organization. The Orthodox and Protestant Churches accept the first seven councils, considered ecumenical for called by undivided Church. These councils formed the ecclesiastic base of doctrine, discipline and liturgy. They also were events that expressed the identity of the Church and realized the highest and fullest authority of the Church. But its understanding varied in the East and the West. In the Western Churc…
Crossing the magical barriers of art : Social class, authorship and capital in the contemporary Finnish literary field
2019
This article examines how social class origin is experienced to affect the trajectories of becoming and being an author in the context of the contemporary Finnish literary field. It analyzes authors’ experiences of social class, artistic work and authorship in a theoretical framework that draws from the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Beverley Skeggs, particularly the concepts of economic and cultural capital, habitus and inscription. Social class origin is argued to be a relevant factor that affects the ways authorship is pursued even in a country, such as Finland, where artistic labor is relatively well supported by the public sector. The results show that authors from upper middle-class, aca…

Kompetencje organów gminy związane z finansowaniem zadań własnych gminy w formie dotacji
2019
Kompetencje organów gminy w procesie realizacji zadań własnych jednostki samorządu terytorialnego poprzez instytucję dotacji są mocno zróżnicowane i ulokowane na wielu prawnych płaszczyznach odniesienia w szczególności ustrojowym, finansowym jak i materialnym. Brak jednolitości rozwiązań prawnych, w zakresie szeroko pojętego systemu dotacyjnego, skutkuje trudnościami w analizie przepisów a w konsekwencji prowadzi do nieprawidłowości w realizacji zadań publicznych poprzez formę dotacji. Właściwa kompozycja prawna kompetencji organów jednostki samorządu terytorialnego z uwzględnieniem zasady jednolitości systemu prawa i stosowania konsekwentnych, na gruncie poszczególnych materii normowania, …
