Retail banking in the aftermath of the financial crisis

2018

This thesis considers the effects of the global financial crisis that started in 2008 on the retail banking environment and on banks’ behavior during and in the aftermath of the crisis. The thesis consists of an introductory chapter and three empirical articles that use unique datasets on Finnish cooperative banks. The introductory chapter provides background and an overview of the thesis and considers the effects of the crisis on retail banking from an overall perspective. The empirical articles investigate the roles of a competitive environment, a low interest rate environment, and relationship banking during the crisis and in the post-crisis period. The first article looks at whether the…

Changing people’s attitudes and beliefs toward driving through floodwaters : Evaluation of a video infographic

2018

Despite awareness of campaigns such as ‘Turn Around, Don’t Drown’ and the Australian state of Queensland’s ‘If It’s Flooded, Forget It’, people continue to drive through floodwaters, causing loss of life, risk to rescuers, and damage to vehicles. The aim of this study was to develop a video infographic that highlights the dangers of driving through floodwaters and provide safety tips to reduce the risk, and to evaluate its effectiveness in changing the beliefs and intentions of Australian adults toward this risky driving behaviour. This study adopted an online three-wave non-controlled pretest–posttest design. Australian licensed drivers (N = 201, male = 41, female = 160; Mage = 34.10) self…

Extended Families as Communities of Religious Experience in Late Seventeenth-Century Eastern Finland

2022

AbstractThis chapter offers an interpretation of extended families as communities of experience in a rural area close to the eastern border of the Swedish realm. Through a case study of lower court records, Kuha examines the social and religious life in a 17th-century farm culminating in the crisis of an extended family. The chapter explores how practices of lived religion shaped the relationship of the community and the individual, and how experiences were negotiated within families and local communities. The analysis highlights the importance of protecting the boundaries of the household as well as the meaning of religious practices in creating cohesion within the community.

Pyhäpäivien vietto varhaismodernin ajan Savossa (vuoteen 1710)

2016

In this dissertation, I study the observance of holy days among the peasantry in the early modern province of Savo, located on the eastern periphery of the Swedish kingdom (today Eastern Finland). I examine the practices, norms and meanings related to the observance of holy days both within and outside the Church, and analyse the changes and continuities in the post-reformation period. As the main sources of the study, I use district court records and visitation records mainly from the period 1639–1712. I analyse the cases with a micro-historical perspective and an anthropological approach. The lived religion of the peasantry was constituted especially through practices that were connected …

Tiny Citizenship, Twisted Politics, and Christian Love in a Ugandan Church Choir

2022

In 1977, the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Janani Luwum, was killed under orders from President Idi Amin following his public criticism of Amin’s reign of terror. This article offers an ethnographic case study of a choir named in Luwum’s honour to extend existing research on the interrelations of Christianity, citizenship, and politics in contemporary Uganda. To do so, I draw a number of conceptual tools – tiny citizenship, authentic citizenship, twisted politics, and love – from work by and referencing Hannah Arendt, James Baldwin, and Gary Alan Fine. First, analyzing the choir’s participation in the national commemoration of Janani Luwum Day at Uganda’s State House in 2021, I argue …

"Kai se oppikirja pitää olla" : ein Unterrichtsversuch mit der handlungsorientierten Methode

2017

Uusien opetussuunnitelman perusteiden myötä toiminnallisuudesta on tullut ajankohtainen aihe vieraiden kielten opetuksessa. Toiminnallisilla opetusmenetelmillä tarkoitetaan opetustapoja, jotka aktivoivat oppilaita opetuksessa. Näitä voivat olla erilaiset pelit ja leikit, ryhmätyöt, draama tai erilaiset esitykset. Toiminnallisuuden taustalla vaikuttaa vallalla oleva sosiokonstruktivistinen oppimiskäsitys, jonka mukaan oppiminen muotoutuu sosiaalisessa toiminnassa ihmisten välisessä vuorovaikutuksessa. Tämän maisteritutkielman tehtävänä on selvittää, miten toiminnalliset opetusmenetelmän toimivat B2- kielen opetusryhmässä yläkoulussa. Tutkimus suoritettiin opetuskokeiluna, jossa käytettiin ma…
