Quantum Simulations of One-Dimensional Nanostructures under Arbitrary Deformations

2016

A powerful technique is introduced for simulating mechanical and electromechanical properties of one-dimensional nanostructures under arbitrary combinations of bending, twisting, and stretching. The technique is based on a novel control of periodic symmetry, which eliminates artifacts due to deformation constraints and quantum finite-size effects, and allows transparent electronic structure analysis. Via density-functional tight-binding implementation, the technique demonstrates its utility by predicting novel electromechanical properties in carbon nanotubes and abrupt behavior in the structural yielding of Au7 and MoS nanowires. The technique drives simulations markedly closer to the reali…

Driving Through Neoliberalism : Finnish Truck Drivers Constructing Respectable Male Worker Subjectivities

2017

This chapter analyses how Finnish male truck drivers (re)produce themselves as respectable male workers in the face of the recent economic, technological and institutional transformations impacting the European haulage sector. The investigation is based on ethnographic data which are produced by riding along on assignments with ten male Finnish truck drivers in the period 2012–2016. The analysis shows how truck drivers’ independence and value in the work process has become challenged and how truckers experience being occupationally stigmatized. The study argues, however, that while economic restructuring undermines some components of traditional forms of working-class masculinity, masculine…

Constraints and challenges on learning and construction of identitites at work

2008

This paper analyses and discusses different constraints on workplace learning, vocational development and formation of identity. We ask how the learning and development of vocational identities are related to the various learning constraints and restrictions present in the socio-cultural contexts of the workplace. The study utilizes 20 interviews of industrial designers and nursing staff in Finland. The data on the vocational students was collected with Internet questionnaires (N = 1125) from these two fields; technology and transport, and social services and health care. The results indicated that constraints on learning and professional/vocational identity development at work were mainly …

Regional Case Study. From Ukraine to Finland and Estonia via Poland : Migration and posting of third country nationals. Work package 4

2020

This report gives an overview of the Con3Post project1 research that analyses a new and understudied phenomenon of posting third country nationals (TCNs) in the European construction sector, with a special focus on the posting flow involving workers from Ukraine being posted to Finland and Estonia through Poland. The research highlights severe regulatory challenges related to the phenomenon. These include posted TCNs being exposed to multiple vulnerabilities that are even more extreme than intra-European Union (EU) posted workers are usually exposed to. These are: lack of occupational safety and health training and having no accident insurance coverage, not receiving wages and other employm…

2021

Bakalaura darba “Somu valodas infinitīva konstrukcija ”Finaalirakenne” un tās lietojums interneta čatos” mērķis ir izpētīt minētās konstrukcijas lietojumu ikdienas valodā, kā arī apskatīt tās rašanos un attīstību rakstu valodā. Darba teorētiskajā daļā ir sniegts pārskats par šo konstrukciju no dažādu gramatiku viedokļa, kā arī apskatīti ar šo jomu saistītie iepriekšējie pētījumi un teorētiskie principi. Empīriskajā daļā ir analizēts A-infinitīva translatīva lietojums interneta čatos. Tajā aprakstīts sākotnējais modelis un novērojumi, kurus izmantojot var atklāt jaunas parādības valodas attīstībā. Bakalaura darba galvenais rezultāts ir atziņa, kas ir pretrunā ar līdzšinējām somu valodas gram…

Antecedents of intensified job demands : evidence from Austria

2019

Purpose In order to understand the driving forces behind intensified job demands (IJDs), the purpose of this paper is to examine demographic factors, structural work-related factors, personal and job resources as antecedents of IJDs. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on cross-sectional (n=4,963) and longitudinal (n=2,055) quantitative data sets of Austrian employees. Data sets were analyzed via regression analyses. Findings The results showed that IJDs, as assessed through five sub-dimensions: work intensification, intensified job-related, career-related planning and decision-making demands, intensified demands for skills and for knowledge-related learning, remained fairly sta…

The role of adolescent athletes' task value patterns in their educational and athletic career aspirations

2018

Abstract The present study examined the stability and change in task value patterns that Finnish student-athletes (n  = 391) show during their first two years in upper secondary sport school and the extent to which these patterns, and changes in them, are associated with students' future educational and athletic career aspirations . By using latent profile analysis , three different and highly stable motivational patterns were identified among adolescents: (1) a dual motivated pattern, characterized by high value placed on both school and sport; (2) a low academically motivated pattern, characterized by a high value placed on sport but a low value on school; and (3) a relatively low sport m…
