The effects of using participatory working time scheduling software on working hour characteristics and wellbeing : a quasi-experimental study of irr…
2020
Background: Studies in the health care sector indicate that good work time control is associated with better perceived wellbeing but also with non-ergonomic work schedules, such as compressed work schedules. Participatory working time scheduling is a collaborative approach to scheduling shift work. Currently, there is a lack of information on whether working hour characteristics and employees' wellbeing in irregular shift work change after implementing participatory working time scheduling. Objective: To investigate the effects of using digital participatory working time scheduling software on working hour characteristics and well-being among Finnish hospital employees. Participants and met…
Victims and appeals at the International Criminal Court (ICC) : evaluation under international human rights standards
2021
Scholars have examined victim participation and reparations at the ICC. Nevertheless, no academic study focuses on victim participants and victims as parties (reparations claimants) in ICC appeals under international human rights law (IHRL) standards. This article seeks to: determine how victims’ roles as victim participants and parties (reparations claimants) take place in ICC appeals; and evaluate ICC’s law/practice on victims’ procedural roles/rights in appeals under IHRL. Victims at the ICC exercise procedural rights to: voice their views and concerns in appeals against final and interlocutory decisions (victim participants); and appeal reparations orders (parties). ICC’s law/practice o…
Victims at the Central African Republic's Special Criminal Court
2021
The Central African Republic's Special Criminal Court (SCC), the latest hybrid criminal tribunal, may be considered an important legal development concerning victims of mass atrocities in international criminal justice mechanisms due to certain characteristics. Yet there is no academic commentary on victims at the SCC; this piece seeks to fill the gap. First it considers restorative justice as a general framework for victims’ roles and rights in criminal justice in contexts of mass atrocities. Second, victim matters at the SCC are examined: victim protection, victims as civil parties, and reparations. Overall, this paper argues that provisions on victims’ roles and rights contained in SCC i…
Digital participation in service environments among senior electricity consumers in Finland
2018
Research to date suggests that older adults engage with digital technologies less frequently than young adults. Studies typically focus on chronological age, ignoring the effects of life course factors on the adoption and use of digital technologies. By utilising multiple triangulation, the article investigates the role of age and life course stage in the usage of an electricity company's online services among senior consumers. The data are derived from an internet-based survey study (N = 1366) and six focus group discussions involving Finnish electricity consumers (N = 29). The results suggest that online consumers aged 50 and over utilise electricity company online services more frequentl…
Bene vivere politice
2022
Abstract This chapter approaches the question of biopolitics in ancient political thought looking not at specific political techniques but at notions of the final aim of the political community. It argues that the “happiness” (eudaimonia, beatitudo) that constitutes the greatest human good in the tradition from Aristotle to Thomas Aquinas is not a “biopolitical” ideal, but rather a metabiopolitical one, consisting in a contemplative activity situated above and beyond the biological and the political. It is only with Thomas Hobbes that civic happiness becomes “biopolitically” identified with simple survival; for modernity, as Hannah Arendt puts it, mere being alive becomes the greatest human…
”Twitter teki näistä kaikkien aikojen kisat” : mediaosallistuminen sosiaalisen median aikakaudella
2020
Tässä väitöskirjaani pohjaavassa artikkelissa tarkastelen, millä tavalla sosiaalisen median lupaus aktiivisesta osallistumisesta mediakulttuuriin ja yhteiskunnalliseen keskusteluun toteutuu live-tviittaamisen kontekstissa. Puheenvuoroni näkökulmana on hahmotella mediaosallistumisen ja -osallistamisen monimuotoisuutta ja esittää, miten osallistuminen rakentuu perinteisten ja digitaalisten medioiden solmukohdissa. nonPeerReviewed

Yhteisöllisyys ihanteena, vertaistuki voimavarana : opiskelijoiden käsityksiä yhteisöllisestä oppimisesta yliopistossa
2011
Tiivistelmä - Referat – Abstract Tavoitteet Tutkimuksen lähtökohtana on yksilöllisen ja yhteisöllisen oppimisen välinen jännite erilaisine oppimisteorioineen. Oppimiskäsitysten tarkastelussa hyödynnettiin muun muassa Tynjälän (1999), Vygotskyn (1982), Laven ja Wengerin (1991) sekä Dillenbourgin (1999) määritelmiä. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tutkia kasvatus- ja yhteiskuntatieteiden opiskelijoiden käsityksiä yhteisöllisestä oppimisesta yliopiston oppimisympäristöissä. Yhteisöllistä oppimista lähestytään yhteisöllisyyden, vertaistuen ja osallistumisen näkökulmista. Oppimista ei tarkastella irrallaan opetuksesta, joten lisäksi tutkitaan yliopisto-opiskelijoiden käsityksiä siitä, mikä on opett…
‘I do not trust any of them anymore’: Institutional distrust and corrective practices in pro-asylum activism in Finland
2022
Although there is extensive research on how institutional trust and distrust play out in the forms political participation takes, the existing research lacks thorough analysis on what trust and distrust actually consist of, that is, how individuals evaluate institutions as trustworthy or not and what consequences this evaluation has for individuals and their relation to the state more broadly. Drawing on qualitative research on Finnish citizens who engage in pro-asylum activism, we examine how institutional distrusting evolves as a reflexive process. By analysing citizens’ trust judgements on institutional practices and actions that follow, we argue that distrust in institutions enhances a…
Understanding the Strategies and Practices of Facebook Microcelebrities for Engaging in Sociopolitical Discourses
2022
In this paper, we study popular microcelebrities from the Global South to understand their strategies and practices on Facebook. Unlike traditional celebrities who gain their reputation through different types of physical performance, these microcelebrities attain their status by presenting themselves in a favorable way to their online followers. We conducted interviews with 19 microcelebrities from Bangladesh and analyzed our data using actor-network theory (ANT) and Goffman’s dramaturgical analysis (DA) of human interaction. We discuss the complex socio-technical ecosystem of the microcelebrity and the roles of non-human actors, such as platforms and local internet infrastructure along wi…
