The objective of this submission is to describe four additional suggestions to alleviate issues around the quality of research and publications. Currently, positive results are twice as likely to be published as negative results. Advocating the publication of negative findings too would beseech individuals to report true findings and be less tempted to fabricate data. Moreover, negative findings help expedite the process of uncovering positive results and is supported by ‘Missing pieces’ by PLOS ONE and the journal ‘Negative results’. However, their negligible impact factor and low profile may dissuade researchers from exhibiting their work here. It can be challenging for new journals to co…

Subjectivisation and feminism. An analysis of a political manifesto

2004

The theme of this article is the the Italian feminist movement of the 1980s. That movement was characterised by political transformation and a crtitique of identity. The article takes as its point of departure the inaugural speech of the movement, the manifesto "Piu donne che uomini" (1983). The analysis that we present is inspired in the work of Michel Foucault. It aims to show to that the production of new feministic subjectivities, when fighting the symbolic dimension of masculine domination, has an intrinsically political character. In the 1980s, in the Italian context and particularly in the feminist movement, the rules of the political game set up by the events of 1968 materialized. T…

Intra-Party Heterogeneity in Policy Preferences and Its Effect on Issue Salience: Evidence from the Comparative Candidates Survey

2016

Quantitative research on the positions of political parties and party competition regularly invokes the assumption that parties are unitary actors with homogenous policy preferences. Drawing on Comparative Candidates Survey (CCS) data from 28 elections in 21 developed democracies, we show that candidates often hold quite heterogeneous issue positions and that the extent of this heterogeneity varies significantly across parties and, most interestingly, even within parties across different issue dimensions. In an effort to explore the implications of such intra-party heterogeneity for party strategy and competition, we argue that intra-party heterogeneity and issue salience go together, becau…

Ohjelmistokehityksen ketteryys ja sen mittaaminen

2015

Tutkielmassa pyritään luomaan yleiskuva ketteryydestä ohjelmistokehitykses-sä - sen määritelmästä, laajuudesta ja toteutumisesta. Tutkielmassa käydään läpi ketteryyteen liittyvää tutkimusta pyrkien löytämään yleisesti käytettyjä ketteryyden määritelmiä sekä käsityksiä ketteryyden ilmentymisestä. Tutkielman jälkipuoliskolla ketteryydelle luodaan mittari, joka perustuu yhteen ketteryyden määritelmään, Agile Manifestoon (Julistus ketterästä oh-jelmistokehityksestä). Mittari luodaan survey-tutkimusta varten ja sen tarkoi-tuksena on pyrkiä mittaamaan eri organisaatioiden eroja niiden toiminnan ket-teryydessä. Mittaria on kokeiltu suomalaisille ohjelmistoalan yrityksille teh-dyssä tutkimuksessa j…

Populisms Latvijas politisko partiju diskursā laika periodā no 1993. līdz 2011. gadam

2015

Promocijas darba mērķis ir noskaidrot populisma līmeņa izmaiņas partiju priekšvēlēšanu programmās un noteikt tā saistību ar partiju rezultātiem likumdevēja vēlēšanās. Autore izvirza trīs hipotēzes: populisma līmenis politisko partiju priekšvēlēšanu programmās laika periodā no 1993. gada Saeimas vēlēšanām līdz 2011. gada Saeimas vēlēšanām ir palielinājies; to politisko partiju, kam ir iepriekšēja pieredze Saeimā, priekšvēlēšanu programmās ir konstatējams zemāks populisma līmenis, nekā to partiju priekšvēlēšanu programmās, kuras iepriekš Saeimā nav bijušas pārstāvētas; jo augstāks ir populisma līmenis attiecīgās partijas priekšvēlēšanu programmā, jo lielāku balsu skaitu tā iegūst vēlēšanās. D…
