Los paisajes de la globalización, la elección de la ciudad-expo 2008. ¿Qué pasa con la gobernanza urbana frente a las estrategias económicas y espaci…
2005
Am 16. Dezember 2004 wählte das Bureau international des expositions (B.I.E.) Spanien und seine Kandidatenstadt, die Metropole Saragossa, als Organisationsland für die nächste internationale Ausstellung „International Exhibition of Zaragoza Spain 2008: Water and Sustainable Development“. Wir analysieren zunächst die Entwicklung "der Wege" der Kandidaturen zur Wahl der Gastgeberstadt der Internationalen Ausstellung 2008, dann greifen wir in einem zweiten Mal den gesamten Vorgang der Ausarbeitung, Begründung und Durchführung der Internationalen Ausstellung 2008 in Saragossa auf im Kontext der Globalisierung neue städtische Formen und Formen des Regierens hervorbringen, indem alle finanziellen…
Human Rights and International Trade: Mapping Workers’ Rights under World Trade Organization Rules
2021
A medida que el mundo primitivo se fue conectando -globalizando- a través de los contactos con otras civilizaciones, comenzó a producirse un intercambio de bienes y tecnologías con diferentes civilizaciones, ya sea a través de la conquista o del comercio. En el siglo XXI el mundo está más conectado que nunca. Los bienes y las tecnologías se intercambian a través de un sistema de comercio mundial bien organizado y regulado entre los Estados nacionales. La Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) es una institución sobrenatural que regula el comercio entre sus 164 miembros. Un logro monumental de esta larga marcha de la historia es la aparición de los derechos humanos. Los derechos humanos son…
The Nordic Economic, Social and Political Model : Challenges in the 21st Century
2021
The Nordic Model is the 20th-century Scandinavian recipe for combining stable democracies, individual freedom, economic growth and comprehensive systems for social security. But what happens when Sweden and Finland – two countries topping global indexes for competitiveness, productivity, growth, quality of life, prosperity, and equality – start doubting themselves and their future? Is the Nordic Model at a crossroads? Historically, consensus, continuity, social cohesion, and broad social trust have been hailed as key components for the success and for the self-images of Sweden and Finland. In the contemporary, however, political debates in both countries are increasingly focused on risks, t…
Social media in public diplomacy : survey on the social media communication of the Finnish missions abroad
2012
Today, social media is changing the way people communicate by giving the influence to the hands of the people. For organizations, it means that the issues of stakeholders are the focus of the communication, not the organizations. The question no longer is whether to use social media in public relations, but how to use it. In this research the social media communication of the Finnish missions abroad is studied. The missions have implemented social media as a part of their communication mainly since 2010. It is time to evaluate how the social media have been used so far, including an examination of what more social media can offer. It has been suggested that there is a need for re-evaluation…
Changes in Language Assessment Through the Lens of New Materialism
2022
AbstractIn this chapter, we analyze English tests that are part of two computerised assessment systems, the Finnish Matriculation Examination and the Danish National Tests. Language assessment is a fruitful field to explore from the perspective of materiality, to better understand what materialities exist in modern language tests and how students interact with such systems. Within the assessment and test-taking space, material objects exist that are imbued with political values and force test-takers to perform in specific ways. We explore what new materialism has to offer for interpreting current trends in language assessment and to what extent these perspectives allow for new insights to e…
The Internationalization of B2B Digital Platform Providers : The Role of Cross-National Distance and Digital Characteristics
2020
Digitalization offers new opportunities and changes how firms can explore and enter new markets. Current literature has deepened our understanding of the internationalization process of digital-based firms, but it provides very little guidance on how the specific characteristics of digital artifacts enable and accelerate internationalization or of the role of crossnational distance and cultural difference. We use a longitudinal single-case approach to explore how a Business-to-Business (B2B) platform provider internationalized its operations from inception. The case study illustrates that the ongoing development of the digital service and the integration with new devices played an important…
The use of social media for knowledge acquisition and dissemination in B2B companies: an empirical study of Finnish technology industries
2019
Scholars and practitioners of knowledge management have paid increasing attention to the adoption of social media in business-to-business (B2B) setting for knowledge sharing; however, both the theoretical and empirical research in this domain are quite fragmented. The aim of this research is to deepen the understanding about the B2B companies’ awareness of the potentials of social media in improving their absorptive capacity and, consequently, if and how such companies deploy knowledge strategies based on social media adoption. We carried out an empirical survey of Finnish technology companies operating purely in B2B markets. Results highlight that social media adoption is still in a prelim…

Zagadnienie inwentarzy w muzeach i inwentaryzacji kolekcji w świetle dorobku normatywnego UNESCO
2022
W artykule przedstawiono zagadnienia inwentarzy w muzeach i inwentaryzacji kolekcji w świetle dorobku normatywnego UNESCO jako podmiotu wyznaczającego standardy zawarte w dokumentach wiążących i o charakterze soft law (zalecenia). Zaprezentowano kwestie związane z implementacją Konwencji UNESCO z 1970 r. dotyczącej środków zmierzających do zakazu i zapobiegania nielegalnemu przywozowi, wywozowi i przenoszeniu własności dóbr kultury, z rekomendacjami UNESCO dotyczącymi muzeów oraz ze znaczeniem ewidencjonowania dóbr kultury w walce z nielegalnym obrotem ruchomymi składnikami dziedzictwa kultury. Wobec nowych wyzwań, w tym ostatnich konfliktów zbrojnych, ewidencjonowanie dóbr kultury jest sz…
Modeling multipartite virus evolution: the genome formula facilitates rapid adaptation to heterogeneous environments
2020
Multipartite viruses have two or more genome segments, and package different segments into different particle types. Although multipartition is thought to have a cost for virus transmission, its benefits are not clear. Recent experimental work has shown that the equilibrium frequency of viral genome segments, the setpoint genome formula (SGF), can be unbalanced and host-species dependent. These observations have reinvigorated the hypothesis that changes in genome-segment frequencies can lead to changes in virus-gene expression that might be adaptive. Here we explore this hypothesis by developing models of bipartite virus infection, leading to a threefold contribution. First, we show that th…
