The mental strategies of elite climbing Sherpas
2016
In the research that has been conducted on extreme sports focus has been on single psychological skills rather than the combination of skills. Extending this limitation, there has been no previous study examining the psychological skills of elite high altitude climbing Sherpas of the Himalayan region. This research aims to describe and understand the psychological skills of high altitude climbing Sherpas as they tackle Mt. Everest whilst leading and supporting an entire expedition team. It further aims to compare and contrast the psychological skills of the climbing Sherpas with elite athletes performing across other high pressure environments. The study consisted of five Sherpas whom all h…
Poikien pelastaja : Yrjö Karilas nuoriso-ongelman muotoilijana ja ratkaisijana 1920- ja 1930-luvulla
2014
Tarkastelen työssäni Yrjö Karilasta (1891–1982) nuoriso-ongelman muotoilijana ja ratkaisijana 1920- ja 1930-luvuilla. Karilas oli opettajan koulutuksen saanut nuorisotyöntekijä sekä useiden tunnettujen nuortenkirjojen kirjoittaja. Hänen tavoitteenaan oli kasvattaa nuorista (lähinnä pojista ja nuorukaisista) kunnon kansalaisia ja kristittyjä. Karilaan toiminta kanavoitui NMKY:n poikatyön kehittämiseen ja nuorisotyöntekijöille suunnattujen kasvatusoppaiden sekä nuorille kirjoitettujen tietoteosten (esim. Pikku jättiläinen) ja suurmieselämäkertojen julkaisemiseen. Leipätyönsä hän teki kustannussihteerinä WSOY:llä, jossa hän erikoistui nuortenkirjallisuuteen sekä uskonnolliseen kirjallisuuteen.…

Reframing Gender Equality in Finnish Online Discussion on Immigration: Populist Articulations of Religious Minorities and Marginalized Sexualities
2014
Gender equality is an essential part of Finnish self-understanding. The public discussion on equality does not, however, only focus on gender; it is also used to promote antiimmigration-minded, homophobic opinions. In the article, the co-existence of contradictory discourses on gender equality is interpreted as populist rhetoric. The articulations of gender equality in online debates on gender, sexuality, and immigration are analyzed. The main questions are: How is gender equality re-framed in anti-immigration-minded online debate? How are the notions of sexuality and gender fixed in order to oppose immigration? How are gender, sexuality, and immigration articulated intersectionally? The in…
Comprehensive school reform and labor market outcomes over the lifecycle: Evidence from Finland
2021
This study focused on the labor market effects of the Finnish comprehensive school reform in 1972–1977 over the lifecycle. The reform increased the age at which students are separated into vocational and general tracks from 11 to 16 as well as updated the curriculum to include more general content instead of vocational. Using longitudinal administrative register data and exploiting the gradual implementation of the reform, I found a negative effect on employment in early career and a positive effect later in the lifecycle. Results for labor earnings are more nuanced and sensitive to different model specifications, but a positive effect was found in the late career. After the reform, the tre…
Transformational leadership and depressive symptoms among employees : mediating factors
2014
Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the link between transformational leadership and depressive symptoms among employees is mediated by such personal resources as occupational self-efficacy, perceived meaningfulness of the work, and work-related rumination.Design/methodology/approach– The study was conducted using questionnaires among 557 Finnish municipal employees in various occupations. The statistical analysis was based on structural equation modeling. A multiple mediation model enabled us to investigate the specific indirect effects of each mediator. Model comparison was applied to ascertain whether the mediation should be considered as full or partial.Findings– Re…
"Salvation from unhappines by doing one's best" : a rhetorical analysis on Joel Osteen's sermons in the light of the US culture and values
2014
Tiivistelmä – Abstract Tämä laadullinen tutkimus keskittyy Joel Osteenin saarnoihin. Hän johtaa maan suurinta seurakuntaa, Lakewood-kirkkoa Texasin Houstonissa, USA:ssa. Tutkielma pyrkii vastaamaan kahteen tutkimuskysymykseen: 1) Mitkä ovat Osteenin eniten käyttämät retoriset keinot, ja kuinka ne näkyvät hänen saarnoissaan? 2) Miten Osteen käyttää hyväkseen kristillisiä oppeja ja Raamatun auktoriteettia vedotakseen kuulijoidensa kulttuurillisiin arvoihin? Aineiston prominentit retoriset keinot ovat toisto, kielikuvat, pronominien käyttö sekä pronominien suhde neuvojen ja käskyjen antamiseen. Tarkasteltavat kolme kulttuurista pääarvoa ovat individualismi, itsehoito sekä materialismi. Näiden …
Making and breaking relationships on social media: the impacts of brand and influencer betrayals
2021
This study considers how the relationships between social media influencers, brands and individuals are intertwined on social media and analyses the spill-over effects of feelings of betrayal. An experimental design with two transgression scenarios (influencer vs. brand) was created, and 250 individuals were recruited to participate in the study. The results show that a perceived betrayal by a brand can negatively affect the perceived coolness of the social media influencer that has endorsed the brand, as well as the parasocial relationships that followers have with the influencer. Accordingly, a perceived betrayal by a social media influencer can negatively affect attitudes, trust and purc…
I codici in scrittura latina di Alessandro Farnese (1520-1589) a Caprarola e al Palazzo della Cancelleria nel 1589
2016
This article analyses the contents of the manuscripts in Latin script found at the Villa Farnese of Caprarola and the Palazzo della Cancelleria of Rome at the death of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (1520-1589). They were inventoried by Claudio Tobalducci, librarian to the Cardinal; the inventories were edited by Francois Fossier. Although the manuscript collections seem neither organic nor systematically constituted by the Cardinal (the volumes were mainly borrowed from the great Farnese library in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome), the manuscripts were used by the Cardinal in the last years of his life. They shed light on at least some of the personal interests of this important ecclesiastical, p…
Kuvataidekasvatuksen uudistaminen ja asema suomalaisessa peruskoulu-uudistuksessa kuvaamataidon opettajien näkökulmasta : haastattelututkimus
2013
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää, kuinka kuvataidekasvatus ja taidepedagoginen ajattelutapa muuttui peruskoulu-uudistuksen aikana (1970-‐1977). Tutkimus painottuu nimenomaan tuohon aikaan uudistuksessa mukana olleiden kuvaamataidonopettajien näkökulmiin aiheesta. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu viidestä haastattelusta, siirtymävaiheenmateriaalista, sekä aiempaan tutkimukseen peruskoulu-uudistuksesta. Haastattelut on toteutettu puolistruktuoituina teemahaastatteluina. Tutkimusaineiston analysointi perustuu viiteen narratiiviin, jotka historiallisen kirjallisuuden kanssa yhdessä muodostavat yhden suuremman kokonaisuuden. Aineisto perustuu suurelta osin muistitietoon, joten tavoitteenani on esit…
