Reputation and financial reporting in Finnish public organizations
2021
PurposeThis article analyzes the links between financial reports and reputation in the context of Finnish public sector organizations. In general, the paper discusses the accounting treatment of intangible and tangible assets and the quality and relevance of public sector financial reporting.Design/methodology/approachFor data, we combine three data sets: financial statement information of eight anonymous Finnish public organizations, the results of a reputation survey among their key stakeholders (N = 914) and a sample of the social media sentiment around the organizations.FindingsOur findings suggest that a decrease in spending and, surprisingly in the nonprofit sector, an increase in the…
Effects of Chinese youth consumer recycling behavior decisions : application of TPB theory to beverage container recycling system adoption
2016
Increasing municipal waste is a challenge that China is facing during decades, especially along with the economic growth. Although recycling is apparently an efficient method to deal with the problem, 2% of solid waste recycled in China revealed there is barrier in the path. The recycling system is developing in China by government and companies, hence understanding and predicting Chinese consumers’ acceptance of the system is necessary. This research is aim to understand the Chinese youth consumers’ recycling behavior through the view on beverage container recycling behavior. Hypothesizes in this study is proposed according to the theoretical framework of the TPB, which is attitude toward …
Regional Economic Integration in the Southern African Development Community (SADC): Analysing the Dynamics and Performance
2020
This article analyses the dynamics and performance of regional economic integration in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). It proposes an innovative theoretical approach to the analysis of regionalism that refers to cooperation theory and takes the impact of external actors explicitly into account. The motivation for this research stems from the observation of a new wave of regionalism in the Global South. Many of these new or reformed regional integration organisations (RIOs) comprise of developing countries, particularly in Africa. In contrast to expectations of most mainstream integration theories, new regionalisms in the Southern Hemisphere have come into existence and sh…
Straw uses trade-off only after soil organic carbon steady-state
2018
Soil organic matter (SOM) is the key for a healthy soil and a relevant property to achieve the sustainability on soil management. However, soils are still net exporters of organic matter. One example is the use of wheat straw residue for industrial and energy applications, which has gained attention in the last years. The offfarm use of this abundant and low cost resource should follow sustainability criteria to avoid soil degradation and SOM losses. Straw residue incorporation is recognized as a recommended management practice to control erosion and mitigate CO2 emissions by increasing SOM. The goal of this work was: i) to evaluate the steady-state carbon (C) level in relation to C input a…
Acoustic wave guides as infinite-dimensional dynamical systems
2015
We prove the unique solvability, passivity/conservativity and some regularity results of two mathematical models for acoustic wave propagation in curved, variable diameter tubular structures of finite length. The first of the models is the generalised Webster's model that includes dissipation and curvature of the 1D waveguide. The second model is the scattering passive, boundary controlled wave equation on 3D waveguides. The two models are treated in an unified fashion so that the results on the wave equation reduce to the corresponding results of approximating Webster's model at the limit of vanishing waveguide intersection.

Houkutteleva rekrytointiviestintä organisaation verkkosivuilla
2010
Nykyään organisaatioiden verkkosivut ovat pääasiallinen kanava työntekijöiden rekrytoinnissa. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää millaista organisaatioiden rekrytointiviestintä on verkkosivujen rekrytointiosioissa. Työn tavoitteena oli myös kehittää rekrytointiviestinnän malli. Tutkimuskysymykset olivat 1) millaista organisaatioinformaatiota verkkosivujen rekrytointiosiot sisältävät ja 2) millaisia ovat työntekijöiden tarinat rekrytointiosioissa. Tutkimus keskittyi tarkastelemaan rekrytointiprosessin alkuvaiheen viestintää. Tutkimusaineisto koostui Suomen parhaat työpaikat -listan organisaatioiden verkkosivujen rekrytointiosioista. Kohdeorganisaatioiden rekrytointiosioiden sisältöä ana…
SOIGNER AUX FRONTIÈRES : REGARD PSYCHODYNAMIQUE SUR LE QUOTIDIEN TRAUMATIQUE DES SOIGNANTS/RÉFUGIÉS
2017
Les soignants d’hôpitaux habitant et travaillant aux frontières turco-syriennes sont aussi des migrants ou des réfugiés syriens. Comme la population sinistrée, ils exercent leur activité professionnelle au rythme de la guerre et nécessitent également un accompagnement. Dans le cadre de l’Unité psychosociale d’une ONG internationale, un soutien psychologique en visio-conférence est proposé aux soignants en Syrie et en Turquie. Cet article propose un commentaire et une réflexion clinique sur le quotidien de ces soignants, leur santé mentale, ainsi que sur leurs mécanismes de survie psychiques, groupaux et culturels. Quatre vignettes cliniques sont commentées et discutées pour comprendre la co…
S’aimer à l’heure du numérique : la relation conjugale à l’épreuve de l’hyperconnectivité
2014
L’introduction des nouveaux objets connectés (NOC) dans les foyers vient réinterroger la relation conjugale. Avec les objets nomades, le couple doit faire face à un individualisme connecté. Ils amplifient notamment la privatisation des territoires dans l’espace domestique semblant de ce fait affecter la conversation conjugale. À travers notre enquête, nous avons constaté que les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) peuvent certes avoir un impact négatif sur la relation de couple, mais peuvent a contrario venir renforcer la relation en donnant entre autres une nouvelle place à l’écrit dans la communication conjugale. Des différences apparaissent toutefois selon les type…
