Työarvoteoria ja yhtäläistymisoletuksen kritiikki
2013
Tämän tutkielman aiheena ovat klassisen poliittisen taloustieteen pioneerien Adam Smithin, David Ricardon ja Karl Marxin vuosien 1776-1883 välillä kehittämän työarvoteorian kohtaamat käsitteelliset ongelmat sekä kahden palestiinalaisen matemaatikon Emmanuel Farjounin ja Moshe Machoverin vuonna 1983 niihin esittämä ratkaisumalli. Meneillään oleva talouskriisi on vauhdittanut aiheesta käytyä keskustelua. Esitän tutkielmassa läpileikkauksen työarvoteorian perusteista; tämä toimii taustana teoriassa syntyvien ongelmien tarkastelulle ja arvioinnille. Ongelmista tunnetuin on niin kutsuttu työarvojen ja hintojen transformaatio-ongelma, joka liitetään ensisijaisesti Marxin ajatteluun, mutta sisälty…
Smoking and long-term labour market outcomes.
2014
Objective To examine the long-term effects of smoking on labour market outcomes using twin data matched to register-based individual information on earnings. Method Twin data for Finnish men born 1945–1957 was used to remove the shared environmental and genetic factors. The results were subjected to extensive robustness testing. Lifetime cigarette consumption was measured by (cumulative) cigarette pack-years in early adulthood. The average of an individual's earnings (and, alternatively, taxable income) was measured over a subsequent 15-year period in later adulthood. Results Smokers have lower long-term income and earnings. For example, controlling for the shared environmental and genetic …
Collective Behavior of Price Changes of ERC-20 Tokens
2020
We analyze a network constructed from tokens developed on Ethereum platform. We collect a large data set of ERC-20 token prices; the total market capitalization of the token set is 50.2 billion (109) US dollars. The token set includes 541 tokens; each one of them has a market capitalization of 1 million US dollars or more. We construct and analyze the networks based on cross-correlation of tokens’ returns. We find that the degree distributions of the resulting graphs do not follow the power law degree distribution. We cannot find any hierarchical structures nor groupings of ERC-20 tokens in our analysis. peerReviewed
Fusion of technology management and financing management - Amazon's transformative endeavor by orchestrating techno-financing systems
2020
Amazon became the world R&D leader in 2017 by rapidly increasing R&D investment. Its R&D investment in 2017 was double that of 2015, 5 times that of 2012, and 10 times that of 2011. This rapid increase continued in 2018, and Amazon accomplished a skyrocketing increase in its market capitalization, closing to being the world's biggest company. Such a rapid increase in R&D and subsequent market value has raised questions about how to conduct R&D and secure a large amount of funds needed for high-risk investments. Amazon has provided hypothetical answers to both of these questions. Amazon has been conducting innovative R&D to transform routine or periodic alterations into significant improveme…
With great power comes great responsibilities – Examining platform-based mechanisms and institutional trust in rideshare services
2023
From the perspective of female passengers, much remains unknown about institutional or platform trust and the sharing economy. The present study was conducted in an emerging economy context to comprehend the significance of institutional trust. The study aimed to develop a dynamic theoretical model incorporating the perceived effectiveness of platform-based institutional structures (PEPIS) as a dependent variable in sharing economy platforms, examine the antecedents of PEPIS and determine how PEPIS affects female passengers' trust in the institution or platform. Different strata of female passengers were targeted using a quota-cum-purposive sampling method. In total, 413 useable responses t…
Comparison of Delivery Methods in Phage Therapy against Flavobacterium columnare Infections in Rainbow Trout
2021
Viruses of bacteria, bacteriophages, specifically infect their bacterial hosts with minimal effects on the surrounding microbiota. They have the potential to be used in the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections, including in the field of food production. In aquaculture settings, disease-causing bacteria are often transmitted through the water body, providing several applications for phage-based targeting of pathogens, in the rearing environment, and in the fish. We tested delivery of phages by different methods (via baths, in phage-coated material, and via oral delivery in feed) to prevent and treat Flavobacterium columnare infections in rainbow trout fry using three phages (FCOV…
Activated Cashew Carbon-Manganese Oxide Based Electrodes for Supercapacitor Applications
2023
The current global energy challenge which affects most developing countries in particular, is of major source of concern today. The availability of less expensive techniques of storing excess generated energy is critical to the success of the renewable energy roadmaps implementation. In this study, hydrothermal and chemical leaching methods have been used to synthesize MnO2 nanoparticles using KMnO4 and MnSO4 as precursors at 140 °C and from natural local manganese ore. Activated Carbon (ACF) have also been produced from agricultural Cashew biomass waste, through a physical carbonization and KOH activation process using temperatures of 700 °C – 900 °C for periods between 1-2 hours. The as-p…

Suomalainen korkeakoulutus kriisissä?
2005
”Voi liioittelematta sanoa, että kaikki suomalaiset yliopistot kuuluvat ’maailmanluokan’ yliopistoihin. Mistä siis nousee Jorma Rantasen ja Anne Brunilan raporteissa esitetty ehdotus luoda Suomeen muutama ’maailmanluokan’ yliopisto, joiden ohella olisi kansallisen tai maakunnallisen tason opinahjoja? Kysymys näyttäisi olevan koulutuspolitiikan suunnan muutosyrityksistä kohti markkinatalouden kilpailuun perustuvaa arvomaailmaa”, kirjoittaa professori Jussi Välimaa.
Projekteilla parempaa laatua yliopistoihin?
2005
Markkinatalousvetoisen kulttuurin soveltaminen yliopistoihin ei ole ongelmatonta. Erilaiset laadun kohottamisen nimissä tehtävät kehittämishankkeet ilmentävät markkinataloustumista keskusjohtoisina ja nopeatempoisina. Onnistuessaan kehittämishanke luo perustan aidoille uudistuksille.
