Agentive responsibility and possibilities of conjoined therapy for intimate relationship violence

2013

This thesis is about how to provide conjoined therapy to couples suffering from intimate partner violence (IPV). The discourse analysis concentrated on the narrations produced in therapy and how both the therapists and customers position themselves responsibly thus with strong agency. The results suggest an array of supportive narrative practises to enhance agency and provide through psychoeducation, empowering and perspective challenging toward more individual sense of agency in speech about one’s relation to the relationship as well as to the theme of violence.

Violence, Gender and Affect : Interpersonal, Institutional and Ideological Practices

2021

This book presents new conceptual and theoretical approaches to violence studies. As the first research anthology to examine violating interpersonal, institutional and ideological practices as both gendered and affective processes, it raises novel questions and offers insights for understanding and resolving social and cultural problems related to violence and its prevention. The book offers multidisciplinary perspectives on various forms and intersections of different types of violence. The research ranges from the early modern era to the present day in Europe, US, Africa and Australia, representing disciplines such as gender studies, history, literature, linguistics, media and cultural st…

Consistency of Targeted Metatranscriptomics and Morphological Characterization of Phytoplankton Communities

2020

The composition of phytoplankton community is the basis for environmental monitoring and assessment of the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems. Community composition studies of phytoplankton have been based on time-consuming and expertise-demanding light microscopy analyses. Molecular methods have the potential to replace microscopy, but the high copy number variation of ribosomal genes and the lack of universal primers for simultaneous amplification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes complicate data interpretation. In this study, we used our previously developed directional primer-independent high-throughput sequencing (HTS) approach to analyze 16S and 18S rRNA community structures. C…

Vihreää hoivaa : lasten yhteisöllinen ryhmätoiminta avohuollon tukitoimena

2015

Pro gradu –tutkielmani on etnografinen tutkimus Pelastakaa lapset ry:n Läheltä tueksi – hankkeessa kehitetystä Lasten yhteisöllisestä ryhmätoiminnasta. Toimintamallilla pyritään vastaamaan tukiperhejonossa olevien perheiden tuen tarpeisiin. Toiminnan taustalla vaikuttaa ajatus luonnon hyvinvointivaikutuksista ja ryhmätoimintapaikat sijaitsevat luonnonlä- heisissä paikoissa. Tutkimuksen teoreettiseksi lähtökohdaksi asettuu vihreä hoiva, joka on sateenvarjokäsite luontolähtöisille palveluille. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää fenomenologisen tutkimusorientaation kautta vanhempien ja lasten kokemuksia toiminnasta ja sen merkityksistä sekä siitä, miten vihreä hoiva näkyy osana toimintaa. …

At the Interface of National and Transnational: The Development of Finnish Policies against Domestic Violence in Terms of Gender Equality

2017

Although gender inequalities are the main social mechanisms behind the (re)production of domestic violence, policy responses to domestic violence as a gender-related problem vary at both the national and transnational levels. This article examines the interaction between national and transnational policies against domestic violence, focusing on how domestic violence is constructed as a gender-related problem in Finland, a Nordic welfare state that is often cited as a role model in gender equality. Using the conception of policies as historically changing and culturally specific discourses, this article offers an overview of the ways in which the perspective on domestic violence of the trans…

Water level regulation in winter triggers fouling of fishing nets by the diatom Aulacoseira islandica in a boreal lake

2015

Water level regulation related to hydroelectric power production and flood prevention is an important hydro-morphological pressure on many watercourses around the world. Fouling of fishing nets in autumn during the open water period and in winter under the ice is a common phenomenon in large Finnish lakes where the water level is regulated. This fouling of fishing nets can sometimes be so extensive that fishing has to be stopped. Based on the practical experiences of fishermen, the main cause for the under-ice fouling has been proposed to be the winter draw-down of water causing low water level and stronger currents in lakes, but no conclusive relationship between fouling and water level re…

Eutrophication reduces the nutritional value of phytoplankton in boreal lakes

2019

Eutrophication (as an increase in total phosphorus [TP]) increases harmful algal blooms and reduces the proportion of high-quality phytoplankton in seston and the content of ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) in fish. However, it is not well-known how eutrophication affects the overall nutritional value of phytoplankton. Therefore, we studied the impact of eutrophication on the production (as concentration; μg L−1) and content (μg mg C−1) of amino acids, EPA, DHA, and sterols, i.e., the nutritional value of phytoplankton in 107 boreal lakes. The lakes were categorized in seven TP concentration categories ranging from ultra…
