Semi-natural habitats in the European boreal region: Caught in the socio-ecological extinction vortex?
2022
AbstractWe propose to consider semi-natural habitats—hotspots for biodiversity—being caught in a socio-ecological extinction vortex, similar to the phenomenon described for species threatened with extinction. These habitats are essentially socioecological systems, in which socioeconomic drivers are interlinked with ecological processes. We identify four highly interlinked and mutually reinforcing socio-economic processes, pertaining to the importance of semi-natural habitats for (i) agricultural production, (ii) policy, research and development; (iii) vocational education in the fields of agricultural sciences and (iv) public’s experiences with semi-natural habitats. Evidence from six count…
No evidence of systematic pre-emptive loggings after notifying landowners of their lands’ conservation potential
2020
Landowners can intentionally impair biodiversity values occurring on their land to pre-empt biodiversity protection. This often leads to significant negative effects on biodiversity. We studied whether landowners in Finland engaged in pre-emptive loggings after they were notified that their wooded mires are candidate sites for a mire protection program. After the notification, harvesting rates of the candidate wooded mires were significantly lower compared to harvesting rates of similar but non-candidate wooded mires. Annual and monthly harvesting rates indicated that notifying landowners of the conservation potential did not launch systematic pre-emptive logging behavior. Nevertheless, par…
Spelling in Finnish : the case of the double consonant
2021
Because of its regularity, it is relatively easy to learn to read and spell in Finnish. However, a specific hurdle in spelling acquisition seems to be the doubling of consonant letters. In this study on consonant letter doubling spelling in Finnish children (91 Grade 1 and 191 Grade 2 children), we asked two questions. First, are items with double consonant letters (e.g., “kissa” [ˈkisːɑ] ‘cat’) indeed harder to spell than single consonant items (e.g., “kisa” [ˈkisɑ] ‘contest’)? Second, is consonant doubling harder for stop consonants (e.g., “takki” [ˈtɑkːi] ‘coat’) than for continuant consonants (e.g., “kissa&rdq…
Il suolo come risorsa
2011
La Ley del Suelo del 2007 ha segnato una svolta radicale nelle politiche urbane e territoriali spagnole. L'articolo cerca di comprendere "cosa" e "come" cambia l'urbanistica in Spagna alla luce delle recenti riforme legislative.
Le trasformazioni del territorio in mezzo secolo di scempi.
2013
Valorizzare il patrimonio paesaggistico e territoriale, fermare il consumo di suolo, coinvolgere i cittadini nel processo di partecipazione nelle procedure di formazione dei piani urbanistici, puntare ad uno sviluppo regionale sostenibile e durevole, sono i temi dell'attuale e acceso dibattito sulla riduzione del consumo di suolo in cui si inserisce il Disegno di legge "Contenimento del consumo del suolo e riuso del suolo edificato", approvato recentemente dal Consiglio dei Ministri.Le risorse sono limitate e il suolo libero non è riproducibile ma va preservato e tutelato nelle sue funzioni produttive e paesaggistico ambientali nella consapevolezza che prima di trasformarlo occorrono soluzi…
Conoscere il territorio per un consumo consapevole. Akragas e i suoi valori identitari
2014
Parlare di consumo di suolo, oggi, significa trattare un tema attuale, complesso e articolato. La complessità del tema è individuabile sia nell’indeterminatezza del concetto stesso di consumo di suolo, sia nella sua storia che si collega a quella, più datata, dell’uso del suolo. Se volessimo dare una definizione precisa e univoca di consumo di suolo, ci imbatteremmo già in un primo problema. Varie sono quelle che il dibattito recente ha cercato di coniare. Al fine di provare da un lato a mettere ordine alla materia, dall’altro a dettare princìpi e regole chiari in Italia, recentemente, si è discusso un interessante disegno di legge, in attesa di essere definitivamente approvato in Parlament…

Characteristics of Workplace Learning Among Finnish Vocational Students
2009
In Finnish VET, students’ work experience is explicitly defined as workplace learning, instead of the practice of already learnt skills. Therefore, vocational students’ learning periods in the workplace are goal-oriented, guided and assessed. This paper examines the characteristics of students’ workplace learning and compares them with the characteristics of employees’ workplace learning. The data were collected with an Internet questionnaire from final-year vocational students (N = 3106). In total, 1603 students (52 %) answered the questionnaire. The data were analysed using quantitative methods. The results indicate that features typical of employees’ workplace learning can also be found …
How common are inclusive educational practices among Finnish teachers?
2017
Several instructional strategies have been recommended for use in heterogeneous classrooms, but the frequency of their actual use has remained largely unknown. Therefore, an electronic survey was sent to Finnish comprehensive school teachers (N = 2276) in order to assess the prevalence of three selected inclusive strategies: co-teaching, group work, and differentiation. The results showed that co-teaching was used by 42% and group work by 43% of the teachers at least on a weekly basis, while differentiation was used regularly by 83% of teachers. The application of all strategies was strongly associated with teacher category, with subject teachers using them less frequently than classroom te…
Näkemys oikeudenmukaisuudesta ja kihlakunnantuomarin viraltapano 1700-luvun puolivälin Vanhassa Suomessa
2021
Sven Johan Östring hoiti Vanhassa Suomessa sijainneen Savonlinnan tuomiokunnan kihlakunnantuomarin virkaa reilun vuosikymmen ajan keväästä 1747 kesään 1760. Kihlakunnantuomarin ja tuomiokunnan rahvaan välit kärjistyivät 1750-luvun lopulla talonpoikien valittaessa toistuvasti tuomari Östringin väärinkäytöksistä. Talonpoikien mukaan kihlakunnantuomari Östring oli heidän vihamiehensä. Artikkelissa kysytään, miten virkavirhevalitusprosessit etenivät ja mitkä syyt johtivat lopulta kihlakunnantuomarin viraltapanoon. Kihlakunnantuomari Östringin väärinkäytökset olivat luonteeltaan pääasiassa taloudellisia. Valituksissa korostui kuitenkin taloudellisia menetyksiä vahvemmin talonpoikien näkemys oike…
