Increasing Sustainability of Growing Media Constituents and Stand-Alone Substrates in Soilless Culture Systems
2020
Peat-free growing media constituents and stand-alone substrates are the basis for the economic and ecological efficiency of the soilless culture system. Nevertheless, divergence between the model and practice still exists, coming from large gaps in the knowledge of alternative organic materials and of their effects on crop performance. A more detailed understanding of these topics is necessary to increase the soilless culture management capacity. In this respect, this critical review collects research outcomes concerning the sustainability of soilless culture and growing media constituents and their impact on the environment. In particular, the review covers designated articles stressing th…
Orientalism and India
2006
In this article Orientalism, a special hegemonic discourse about "the Orient" by Europeans is discussed by focusing on how it is manifested in a "Western" view of India. Orientalism as a discourse about the Orient is a concept first coined by Edward Said in his book Orientalism (1978) and contains a long history of European way of relating to the Orient as a counterpart of European/Western culture. In this article Orientalist discourses about India by hegemonically Western (and particularly Anglo-Saxon) sources are portrayed and the so-called Indo-Orientalist essentialism defining Indianness from the outside analyzed. Moreover, a Indo-Orientalism as an imported ideology to be used in Indian…
Kuolleiden saaret : historiallisen ajan keskisuomalaisten saarihautausmaiden luonne ja käyttö hautapaikkoina
2010
Kirkkomaiden ulkopuolella sijaitsevat hautasaaret ovat leimallisia erityisesti harvaan asutuille seuduille, joissa kirkkomatkat ovat olleet pitkiä ja hankalia. Saaria on pidetty väliaikaisina hautausmaina, joihin on haudattu kesällä, kelirikkoaikana tai levottomana ajankohtana kuolleet odottamaan myöhempää kuljetusta kirkkomaalle. Saarten käyttöä hautaustarkoituksiin ei ole kuitenkaan systemaattisesti tutkittu. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan Keski-Suomessa sijaitsevien Petäjäveden ja Uuraisten hautapaikkoja sekä niiksi epäiltyjä kohteita. Laajan ja monia tieteenaloja käsittelevän lähdeaineiston kautta artikkeli selvittää kohteiden luonnetta ja niiden käyttöä hauta…

Fathers’ Leave Take-Up in Finland : Motivations and Barriers in a Complex Nordic Leave Scheme
2019
Despite being the first country in the world to introduce paternity leave in 1978, Finland’s current national leave scheme is complex with regard to incentivizing fathers’ take-up. Taking the unique Finnish leave scheme as a case example, this article examines fathers’ motivations and barriers to leave. Although research on fathers’ take-up of leave in divergent leave policy contexts has increased dramatically, fathers’ motivations and barriers to leave have remained underresearched. The article reports on a survey sample of 852 Finnish fathers of infants who were taking paternity, parental, and other forms of leave, drawn from the Population Register Center. Results show that less than 20%…

Mujeres y estructuras patriarcales: el papel de los movimientos feministas
2018
El siguiente ensayo realiza un analisis del patriarcado como hecho social vigente en palabras de Emile Durkheim (1895 2001), al mismo tiempo, evidencia como ha ido delimitado a lo largo de la historia la posicion subjetiva de mujeres y varones de acuerdo a su genero. Para ello, se acude a los conceptos planteados por Durkheim y por Simone de Beauvoir (1949 2016) sobre la sociedad en la que habitamos. El texto pretende dejar en claro que el patriarcado como hecho social no es eventual, sino que se crea a partir de creencias y modelos que se instauran en la sociedad, estableciendo pautas de conducta, normas e incluso sanciones que pueden producir la marginacion de quienes no las acatan. A su …

La categoría de la vitalidad en el último Croce
2015
La divergencia entre realidad histórica e ideal moral, es decir, la lucha entre fuerzas vitales y fuerzas morales, es una de las preocupaciones fundamentales de la filosofía del último Croce. Para ello parte de una aguda crítica al extremo vitalismo que condujo a la II Guerra Mundial, considerado no como fuerza categorial del espíritu, sino como una fuerza identificable con la irracionalidad de puro impulso individual. En este contexto, cobra relevancia su pensamiento en torno a la religión y su relación con el estado, así como el descubrimiento del sufrimiento, o mejor dicho, de la ética como sufrimiento, que sustituye el previo “descubrimiento de lo útil” como otra y más profunda clave pa…
