Fifteen operationally important decisions in the planning of biodiversity offsets
2018
Many development projects, whether they are about construction of factories, mines, roads, railways, new suburbs, shopping malls, or even individual houses, have negative environmental consequences. Biodiversity offsetting is about compensating that damage, typically via habitat restoration, land management, or by establishment of new protected areas. Offsets are the fourth step of the so-called mitigation hierarchy, in which ecological damage is first avoided, minimized second, and third restored locally. Whatever residual damage remains is then offset. Offsetting has been increasingly adopted all around the world, but simultaneously serious concerns are expressed about the validity of the…
Precision, Applicability, and Economic Implications: A Comparison of Alternative Biodiversity Offset Indexes
2021
AbstractThe rates of ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss are alarming and current conservation efforts are not sufficient to stop them. The need for new tools is urgent. One approach is biodiversity offsetting: a developer causing habitat degradation provides an improvement in biodiversity so that the lost ecological value is compensated for. Accurate and ecologically meaningful measurement of losses and estimation of gains are essential in reaching the no net loss goal or any other desired outcome of biodiversity offsetting. The chosen calculation method strongly influences biodiversity outcomes. We compare a multiplicative method, which is based on a habitat condition index develo…
The carbon footprint of a knowledge organization and emission scenarios for a post-COVID-19 world
2021
Publisher Copyright: © 2021 The looming climate crisis requires an immediate response, in which organizations, as major contributors, should play a central role. However, these organizations need appropriate tools to measure and mitigate their climate impacts. One commonly applied method is carbon footprint analysis. Carbon footprint analyses have been conducted for various types of organizations, but knowledge organizations, such as universities and research institutes, have received far less attention, because their carbon footprint is often less visible and can be easily underestimated. This study is based on the carbon footprint analysis of one multinational knowledge organization. This…
Heteronormeja vastustavan tyttöyden kompensaatiot Siiri Enorannan Surunhauras, lasinterävä ja Maria Turtschaninoffin Anaché: Myter från akkade -nuort…
2017
Pohjoismaiseen lasten- ja nuortenkirjallisuuteen on rakentunut lähes normatiivinen kuva vallitsevaa sukupuolijärjestystä murtavasta vahvasta tyttöydestä, joka on näkyvissä myös suomalaisessa 2010-luvun nykytyttökirjallisuudessa. Vuosituhannen vaihteen jälkeen kirjallisuuden tyttökuvat ovat kuitenkin moninaistuneet, eikä tyttöhahmojen tarvitse olla enää kaikkivoipaisia. Tyttöyden esitysten moninaistumisen myötä aiemmin liki säännönmukaisesti heteronormatiivisten tyttökirjojen päähen-kilöiksi on noussut myös heteronormeja vastustavia tyttöhahmoja. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan Siiri Enorannan Surunhauras, lasinterävä (2015) ja Maria Turtschaninoffin Anaché: Myter från akkade (2012) –nuortenfanta…
Elaborating biodiversity offsetting towards ecological accounting of land use planning
2022
Suomen Akatemian hankerahoitus (TRANAPLAN, 333366) Ekologista kompensaatiota on ehdotettu keinoksi, jonka avulla myös Suomessa voitaisiin ratkoa maankäytön muutoksista aiheutuvan luontokadon ongelmaa. Esimerkiksi tonttituotantokohteiden tai rakennettavan liikenneväylän heikentämät luontoarvot tulisi hyvittää jossain toisaalla, jotta elinympäristöt ja luonnon monimuotoisuus eivät vähenisi hankkeen vaikutuksesta. Ekologisen kompensaation idea ei ole ongelmaton: sen voi perustellusti pelätä edistävän ympäristölle haitallisten hankkeiden toteuttamista. Kustannus, jonka maan käyttäjä luontoarvojen heikentämisestä saa vastattavakseen, voidaan mieltää ostetuksi luvaksi heikentää ympäristöä. Kompen…

Conceptualizing the role of multidisciplinarity and student perceptions of university-industry collaboration in project-based learning
2017
Project-based learning has a long history, especially in the disciplines of computer science and engineering. This approach is used to offer students a realistic view of their discipline, and this experience can be enhanced with industrial involvement as companies bring their real world problems to projects. One recent trend in project-based learning is utilizing multidisciplinary teams, enabling students to contrast their skills and experience with students from other disciplines. This thesis focuses on a project course involving multidisciplinary teams and real customers that has been organized at the University of Jyväskylä since 2011 focused on developing students’ general working life …
Kodin merkitys muistisairautta sairastavalle miehelle : puolison näkökulma
2013
Koti on tärkeä kontrollin tunteen antaja. Koti on jotain, johon kuulutaan. Sillä on sekä symbolinen että konkreetti merkityksensä. Turvapaikan antajana koti suojaa ikääntynyttä henkilöä. Koti on se paikka, jossa ikääntynyt henkilö haluaa asua toimintakyvyn heikentymisestään huolimatta. Ympäristö mahdollistaa toimijuuden ja yksilö vastaa ympäristön asettamiin haasteisiin omien voimavarojensa mukaisesti. Yksilön toimintakykyä ei ole vain fyysinen toimintakyky, vaan myös psyykkisellä toimintakyvyllä kompensaatiokeinoineen on merkityksensä toimijuudessa. Koti on toimintakenttä, ympäristö, jossa ja josta käsin toimintoja suoritetaan. Muistisairaus heikentää voimakkaasti sekä elämänlaatua että se…
Intensified job demands and job performance : does SOC strategy use make a difference?
2020
We examined intensified job demands (IJDs) and selecting-optimizing-compensating (SOC) strategies as predictors of job performance (task performance, organizational citizenship behavior). We also investigated SOC strategy use as a moderator in the linkages between IJDs and performance. We sampled three disparate occupational groups (N=4,582). We found that certain dimensions of IJDs showed significant associations with the indicators of job performance but there were also scale-based variations in these linkages, depending on the type of performance and on the sub-scale of IJDs. Specifically, some dimensions of IJDs (e.g., work intensification) related to poorer task performance whereas som…
