Gendered power relations in the digital age : an analysis of Japanese women’s media choice and use within a global context

2021

This study investigates the persistence of gendered choice and use of media, particularly in Japanese domestic settings. It shows how women’s significant presence in the digital media environment does not necessarily translate into substantial changes in gendered power dynamics in choosing and using particular media for certain purposes at home. This project’s authors, researchers from Argentina, Finland, Israel, Japan, and the US, analyzed interview data from Japan by drawing on the Foucauldian concept of micro-level power, which is categorized into three main types: personal authority, media affordances, and space-time constellations. Through this process, we interviewed 77 individuals, r…

Relationships of leisure-time physical activity and work ability between different occupational physical demands in adult working men

2019

Purpose: Leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) is known to be associated with positive health benefits, but the role of occupational physical demands remains inconsistent. The purpose of the current study was to assess the relationship between LTPA and work ability in different occupational physical activity (OPA) levels between young adult men. - Methods: We performed physical activity measurements in work and leisure time with the long version of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and work ability with the Work Ability Index (WAI) in 921 Finnish employed male volunteer participants. The participants were divided into LTPA tertiles I ( 28 MET-h/week) and OPA tertiles I (0…

The success of communication in the Adventures of Joe Fin campaign : self-evaluated effects on health behaviour

2010

Yli puolet suomalaisista liikkuu terveytensä kannalta riittämättömästi. Keski-ikäiset miehet ovat yksi vähiten liikkuvista väestöryhmistä. Kunnossa kaiken ikää -ohjelman SuomiMies seikkailee -kampanja alkoi vuonna 2007, ja sen tavoitteena oli kannustaa keski-ikäisiä miehiä liikkuman enemmän ja syömään terveellisemmin. Kampanja sisälsi liikunta- ja kokkauskursseja, informaatiopitoisen nettisivun, esitteitä sekä 18 Suomen kaupungissa kiertäneen rekkakiertueen. Kiertue sisälsi päivän mittaisia tapahtumia ympäri maata, joiden aikana ihmiset suorittivat terveystestejä, kuuntelivat maalaislääkärin ohjeita ja näkivät humoristista ohjelmaa. Noin 7000 ihmistä testattiin kiertueen aikana. Tämän tutki…

Effects of added endurance or strength training on cardiovascular and neuromuscular performance of conscripts during the 8-week basic training period

2010

 The present series of studies investigated changes in Finnish conscripts’ body composition, aerobic fitness and muscle endurance profiles during the last three decades. A second aim was to examine the effects of added endurance (ET) or strength training (ST) on cardiovascular and neuromuscular performance as well as hormonal responses of conscripts during an 8-week basic training (BT) period when compared to the current standardized (NT) programme. The third aim was to study the effects of these three different training programmes on a novel 3K combat running performance test. The present results showed that aerobic fitness and muscle endurance of 20 year old men in Finland has decreased a…

Fashion and eroticism : men´s underwear in the context of eroticism

2001

What is the process when historically obviously neutral things are becoming loaded with mental meanings, associations and qualities, getting a new turn of expression? The article deals with the changing of men’s underwear from garments of pure utility to high fashionable, visible things. The context in which the change has taken place, the language which supports the new meanings, the forms, colours and use of the “unmentionable” are studied from an ethnological viewpoint. The author emphasises the aspects of new adaptations of the meaning of fashion in relation to changing gender roles, new ideals of the body and new mechanisms in consumer culture. peerReviewed
