The forgotten tale of Brazilian phage therapy
2020
The use of bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections (known as phage therapy) is considered a possible solution to the antimicrobial resistance crisis. However, phage therapy is not a new concept. The discovery of phages in the early 20th century was closely tied to clinical practice, and phage therapy quickly spread around the world. The use of phage therapy in South America in the previous century is still shrouded in mystery and has been mentioned only briefly in recent scientific literature. Research on Brazilian reference collections of medical texts showed that Brazil was an important, but so far little-known, player of phage therapy, uncovering interesting priority claims and miss…
Strategy and business history rejoined : How and why strategic management concepts took over business history
2022
Scholars at the intersection of business history and strategic management have argued for the relevance and importance of historical methods in the study of strategic management of organizations. We flip this argument and ask about the role of strategic management concepts in the study of business history. We analyze volumes of Business History and Business History Review and a representative sample of business history books using a comprehensive set of keywords, each related to a specific sub-discourse in strategic management. Our results show that as scientific communities, business history and strategic management have become increasingly similar in their conceptual overlap. This study c…
From Country Girl in Southern Finland to Longitudinal Research into Alternatives to Aggression and Violence
2021
Lea Pulkkinen, born in Finland in 1939, is Emerita Professor of Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland). She is best known for creating the ongoing Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JLSPSD). The study was specifically intended to test the hypothesis that the human brain allows for more variation in behavior than the simple ‘fight or flight’ response observed in animal studies of aggression. She further hypothesized that humans’ capacity for cognitive control over emotional behavior was the key factor involved in controlling aggressive behavior. These hypotheses led her to devise an impulse control model to depict behavioral alternatives, which s…
Taikauskoinen kansanperinne paheksunnan ja ihannoinnin kohteena : suomalaiset taikuustutkimukset 1700-luvulta 1920-luvulle
2012
Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa tarkastellaan suomalaisia taikuutta käsitteleviä tutkimuksia 1700-luvulta 1920-luvulle. Painopiste on väitöskirjoissa, mutta myös muita tutkimuksia on otettu tarkasteltavaksi mikäli ne ovat olleet kokonaisuuden kannalta olennaisia. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, kuinka taikuutta on Suomessa tutkittu ja kuinka tutkijat ovat taikuuteen suhtautuneet. Aihetta käsitellään diskurssien avulla ja tutkitaan, minkälaisia diskursseja eri vuosisatojen taikuustutkimuksista löytyy. Nykynäkökulmasta 1700-luvun väitöskirjat eivät ole erityisen tieteellisiä tai objektiivisia ja valistuksellinen diskurssi nousee monissa tutkimuksissa vahvasti esiin. 1700-luvulle on myös l…
