Impact of organisational practices and language on an international business cooperation : the case of a German-Slovakian corporation
2015
In the course of the EU integration process, Slovakia became a target of choice for German investors. The percentage of German foreign direct investment has increased sharply since 1995. A growing number of German small to medium sized enterprises discover Slovakia as profitable location for outsourcing and offshoring. However, little is known about German-Slovakian corporations and expatriate management in Slovakia. The aim of the study is to get an understanding of the impact of organisational culture and language on one specific case of a German-Slovakian business cooperation. During the study, the research question is divided into three sub-questions: How is the organisational culture c…
Maantieteelliset piirteet ja iäkkäiden henkilöiden liikkuminen ulkona (GEOage)
2021
This dataset is part of the “Geographic characteristics, outdoor mobility and physical activity of older people” (GEOage) project, in which freely available geographic information characterizing the environment is linked to participant data of the “Life-space mobility in old age” (LISPE) cohort comprising 75–90-years-old community-dwelling people living in Jyväskylä and Muurame in Central Finland (n=848).

Epistemic uses of the pretérito pluscuamperfecto in La Paz Spanish
2020
This paper explores epistemic-evidential uses of the pluperfect, i.e. pretérito pluscuamperfecto, in La Paz Spanish. The pretérito pluscuamperfecto displays functions of a reported evidential form, conforming to results from previous studies on Argentinian Spanish (Bermúdez 2008; Speranza 2014) and, furthermore, is used according to a previously unnoticed inferential evidential function. Using theoretical frameworks from Kockelman (1957) and Bergqvist (2018), this paper describes the configuration of participant roles and event types implied in the different evidential functions of the pretérito pluscuamperfecto.
Dementia in former amateur and professional contact sports participants : population-based cohort study, systematic review, and meta-analysis
2023
Background Although there is growing evidence that former professional athletes from sports characterised by repetitive head impact subsequently experience an elevated risk of dementia, the occurrence of this disorder in retired amateurs, who represent a larger population, is uncertain. The present meta-analysis integrates new results from individual-participant analyses of a cohort study of former amateur contact sports participants into a systematic review of existing studies of retired professionals and amateurs. Methods The cohort study comprised 2005 male retired amateur athletes who had competed internationally for Finland (1920–1965) and a general population comparison group of 1386 …
Darba vietas demokrātija un darbinieku labklājība teledarba kontekstā uzņēmumā PULP Magazine
2021
Pieaugošā sociālā vajadzība noteikt darbinieku labklājību par prioritāti prasa pragmatisku veidu, kā panākt labāku demokrātiju darba vietā mūsdienu kapitāla uzkrāšanas laikmeta robežās. Pētījuma mērķis ir izstrādāt priekšlikumus demokrātijas uzlabošanai darba vietā, izmantojot teledarba politiku. Rezultāts ir priekšlikumu kopums, kuru mērķis ir uzlabot demokrātiju darba vietā, izmantojot atbilstošu tāldarba politiku, vienlaikus uzlabojot darbinieku labklājību. Procesā netika atrasta statistiski nozīmīga saikne starp subjektīvo autonomiju, atbildību un sniegumu. Tālāk autore izstrādāja provizorisku teorētisku ietvaru, kurā darba demokrātija ir apvienota ar tāldarbu.

Miten minun lapseni kohtelee vertaisiaan? Vanhempien käsityksiä oppilaiden toiminnasta koulukiusaamistilanteissa
2008
Toistaiseksi tiedetään varsin vähän siitä, millainen ymmärrys oppilaiden vanhemmilla on koulukiusaamisesta. Vanhemmat on huomioitu koulukiusaamista tarkastelevissa tutkimuksissa pääasiassa kartoitettaessa kenelle oppilaat kertovat kokemastaan kiusaamisesta. Ei kuitenkaan tiedetä, millainen käsitys vanhemmilla on oman lapsensa ja toisten oppilaiden toiminnasta kiusaamistilanteissa, ja millaisia osallisuuden muotoja vanhemmat tunnistavat koulukiusaamisprosesseissa. Sitäkään ei tiedetä, missä määrin vanhemmat tunnistavat oman lapsensa koulukiusaamisongelmia ja olettavatko he lapsensa kertovan heille, mikäli tätä kiusataan tai hän itse kiusaa toisia oppilaita. Tässä artikkelissa etsitään vastau…
