The use of e-government services and the Internet: The role of socio-demographic, economic and geographical predictors

2013

This article explores the use of e-government services from the perspective of digital divides. First, it aims to find out which socio-demographic, economic and geographical factors predict the use of e-government services. Second, the article aims to show whether these factors moderate the way in which the time spent on the Internet is associated with the use of e-government services. The article is based on survey data (N=612) collected in Finland in May–June 2011 and is analysed by using a logistic regression modelling. Results show that gender and income moderate the link between the Internet and e-government service use. The more that women use the Internet, the more they use the gover…

Gender-specific Call of Duty: A Note on the Neglect of Conscription in Gender Equality Indices

2022

We document that existing gender equality indices do not account for gender-specific mandatory peace-time conscription (compulsory military service). This suggests that gender-specific conscription is not considered to be an important gender issue. If an indicator measuring the gender equality of mandatory conscription was to be included in gender equality indices with appropriate weight, then the relative rankings of countries in terms of measured gender equality could be affected. In the context of the Nordic countries, this would mean that Finland and Denmark – the countries with mandatory conscription for men only – would have worse scores with respect to gender equality compared to Swe…

Sectoral policies cause incoherence in forest management and ecosystem service provisioning

2022

Various national policies guide forest use, but often with competing policy objectives leading to divergent management paradigms. Incoherent policies may negatively impact the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services (FES), and forest multifunctionality. There is uncertainty among policymakers about the impacts of policies on the real world. We translated the policy documents of Finland into scenarios including the quantitative demands for FES, representing: the national forest strategy (NFS), the biodiversity strategy (BDS), and the bioeconomy strategy (BES). We simulated a Finland-wide systematic sample of forest stands with alternative management regimes and climate change. Fin…

Subsidizing private childcare in a universal regime

2023

AbstractAll families in Finland have the freedom to choose between subsidized home care, universal public childcare, and private childcare. We study the impact of the introduction of private childcare subsidies in Finland. Private childcare subsidies have causal effects on take-up but no impact on home care or employment among women with small children. Instead, private services seem to crowd out public childcare. Private services have a socioeconomic gradient by mother’s education that steepens when the subsidy increases. Families’ preferences between home care, public childcare, and private childcare do not explain the result.

Victims of family violence identified in emergency care : comparisons of mental health and somatic diagnoses with other victims of interpersonal viol…

2019

Family violence is a global health problem incurring significant costs to both individuals and health care systems. However, family violence as a cause of trauma and other health issues is often unidentified in patients attending emergency care. Better understanding of the risk factors associated with family violence could improve the identification and treatment of victimized patients in health care settings. Little longitudinal research exists on the mental and somatic health of family violence victims currently identified in EDs and little is known about how victims of family violence differ from other help-seeking victims of interpersonal violence. A total of 345 patients were identifie…

How accurate are teachers and support specialists when judging students' literacy skills? Special educational service as an external factor influenci…

2022

The aim of the study was to examine the accuracy of Estonian teachers' and support specialists' judgements of students' spelling skills and reading fluency and to investigate the provision of special education services to students as a factor influencing teachers' judgements. The sample included 11 classroom teachers, 8 support specialists, and 187 third-grade students. The judgements were collected using scales, and students' literacy skills were assessed using group and individual tests. The results indicated that judgements of reading fluency were less accurate than those of spelling skills. In addition, the provision of special education services influenced teachers' judgements, directi…

Nuorten aikuisten verkkoyhteisöpalvelujen mobiilikäyttö

2011

Tutkielmassa pyrittiin kuvaamaan ja ymmärtämään kuinka suomalaiset nuoret aikuiset käyttävät verkkoyhteisöpalveluja mobiilisti, ja millaisia tekijöitä käytön taustalla on. Tutkimuksen lähestymistavaksi valittiin käyttötarkoitustutkimus. Tutkimus suoritettiin määrällisenä tutkimuksena ja siinä käytettiin kyselylomaketta, johon pystyi vastaamaan verkossa. Tutkimuksen otantamenetelmä oli erityisesti tätä tutkimusta varten kehitetty verkko-otanta. Kyselyyn saatiin 265 vastausta, joista analyysiin otettiin rajauksen jälkeen 154. Kyselyn perusteella verkkoyhteisöpalvelujen mobiilin käytön osuus vaikuttaisi olevan noin 14 % verkkoyhteisöpalvelujen kokonaiskäytöstä. Facebook näyttää kyselyn peruste…

Kuntoutustyö : palvelutalon ja hoivakodin työntekijöiden käsityksiä kuntoutustyöstä

2012

Pro gradu -tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisia käsityksiä työntekijöillä oli kuntou-tustyöstä yhdessä keskisuomalaisessa ikääntyvien palvelutalossa ja yhdessä hoivakodissa. Aihe on ajankohtainen, koska ikäihmisten määrä tulee tulevien vuosikymmenien edetessä nousemaan. Ikääntyvien kanssa työskentelevien käsityksiä kuntouttavasta työotteesta on tutkittu vähän suo-malaisessa ja kansainvälisessä aihepiirin tutkimuksessa. Kuitenkin ikääntyvien palveluiden laa-tusuosituksena on edistää ikäihmisten hyvinvointia ja terveyttä sekä parantaa palvelujen laatua ja vaikuttavuutta. Kuntouttavasta työotteesta puhutaan tänä päivänä tärkeänä sosiaali- ja terveysalan työntekijöiden työotteena.…
