Electrofishing as a new method to search for unknown populations of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera
2017
1. The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera is threatened throughout its Holarctic range, but the occurrence of this species is insufficiently mapped. For the conservation of M. margaritifera, it is important to identify populations more comprehensively. 2. Traditionally mussels have been searched for visually using techniques such as diving and aquascope, both of which are potentially time-consuming and demanding survey methods. 3. In this study, a new search method is presented. As glochidia of M. margaritifera are larval parasites on gills of salmonid fish, electrofishing and non-destructive examination of salmonids with the naked eye may reveal the presence of glochidia a…
Intra-regional mobility of PhD students in the European Union : the outcomes of region-making policy?
2022
This paper examines the flow of intra-European Union (EU) students for doctoral (PhD) studies to identify reasons for differences in international student mobility and migration (ISM) among member states. Rather than conceptualising intra-EU PhD student ISM only through push–pull forces, we theorise the intra-EU PhD ISM is associated with relative levels of national resources or levels of capital. We investigate the intra-EU PhD ISM through dyadic country pairings allowing the use of Gravity models to estimate the effect of variables associated with stocks of capital ascribed to a country to the change in the number of PhD students. The findings of this study indicate while there is asymmet…

Challenges Associated with Reading Acquisition in Sub-Saharan Africa : Promotion of Literacy in Multilingual Contexts
2019
Heikki Lyytinen and his co-authors note the problems of poorly trained teachers and large class sizes in Africa. Drawing on experience in Zambia, they present a case study of a digital game that can help overcome these problems and lead to more effective literacy instruction, particularly for students facing barriers to learning how to read. peerReviewed
Staff Members’ Professional Agency within the Staff Community and the Education Policies: Supporting Integration in Multicultural and Multiling…
2022
In recent decades, increased diversity and migration have challenged school staff members’ ways of working. This study aimed to identify the challenges faced by Finnish school staff in supporting students with migrant backgrounds, and to elaborate on how they enact professional agency toward these challenges. The data consist of 15 thematic interviews with staff members across various work positions in two Finnish lower secondary schools. Based on thematic analysis, the challenges within the staff community and the education policies were found to include the following: (1) the diversification of students makes tensions more visible in the staff community, and (2) inflexible education polic…

Automatic social distance estimation for photographic studies: Performance evaluation, test benchmark, and algorithm
2022
The social distancing regulations introduced to slow down the spread of COVID-19 virus directly affect a basic form of non-verbal communication, and there may be longer term impacts on human behavior and culture that remain to be analyzed in proxemics studies. To obtain quantitative results for such studies, large media and/or personal photo collections must be analyzed. Several social distance monitoring methods have been proposed for safety purposes, but they are not directly applicable to general photo collections with large variations in the imaging setup. In such studies, the interest shifts from safety to analyzing subtle differences in social distances. Currently, there is no suitabl…
Hard Competencies Satisfaction Levels for Software Engineers: A Unified Framework
2019
Software engineer’s/developer’s competency has long been established as a key pillar for the development of software. Nevertheless, the satisfaction levels derived from using a competency needs more investigation. The aim of this paper is to propose a framework for identifying hard competencies and their satisfaction levels. The paper contributes to the software engineering competency research by highlighting the satisfaction levels of hard competence for the benefit of the educators (academia), software engineers and users of software competence (practitioner). peerReviewed

Faniuden siirtymiä : suomalaisen science fiction -fandomin verkostot
2009
Suomalaisen science fiction -fandomin näkyvin ilmentymä on vuosittainen Finncon, joka on kasvanut Euroopan suurimmaksi tieteiskirjallisuuden tapahtumaksi. Mutta millainen on sen tekijäjoukko, sf-fandom, ja mitä muuta ilmiöön liittyy? Mistä suomalaiset sf-fanit ovat tulleet? Mikä faneja liikuttaa? Mitä he oikein fanittavat? Irma Hirsjärven tutkimus suomalaisista tieteisfiktion faneista on pitkittäis- ja poikkileikkaus moni-ilmeisestä suomalaisesta kulttuuri-ilmiöstä, jonka juuret ovat anglo-amerikkalaisessa tieteiskirjallisuuden faniudessa. Kirjassa tarkastellaan kulttuuristen vaikutteiden siirtymistä yleisellä ja henkilökohtaisen kokemuksen tasolla, kirjallisuuden, talouden, organisoitumise…
