Clothes

2019

Niina Rutanen, Raija Raittila, Mari Vuorisalo write about Clothes and clothing practices in Finnish early childhood education and care. The adopted approach combines relational sociology and geography and addresses the different kinds of spaces clothing practices create in ECEC. Clothing and clothing practices play an important role in the everyday life of ECEC, but often have a different meaning to educators, to the children and to parents. Niina, Raija and Mari show how these different spaces collide with each other and create one possible story of Arctic childhood. In their understanding, space is a social construction and changes in action. They state how ‘the ‘ideal’ Nordic child is th…

Fashion and eroticism : men´s underwear in the context of eroticism

2001

What is the process when historically obviously neutral things are becoming loaded with mental meanings, associations and qualities, getting a new turn of expression? The article deals with the changing of men’s underwear from garments of pure utility to high fashionable, visible things. The context in which the change has taken place, the language which supports the new meanings, the forms, colours and use of the “unmentionable” are studied from an ethnological viewpoint. The author emphasises the aspects of new adaptations of the meaning of fashion in relation to changing gender roles, new ideals of the body and new mechanisms in consumer culture. peerReviewed

Dog behaviour classification with movement sensors placed on the harness and the collar

2021

Dog owners’ understanding of the daily behaviour of their dogs may be enhanced by movement measurements that can detect repeatable dog behaviour, such as levels of daily activity and rest as well as their changes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of supervised machine learning methods utilising accelerometer and gyroscope data provided by wearable movement sensors in classification of seven typical dog activities in a semi-controlled test situation. Forty-five middle to large sized dogs participated in the study. Two sensor devices were attached to each dog, one on the back of the dog in a harness and one on the neck collar. Altogether 54 features were extracted from th…

Experiences of family caregivers of persons living with dementia with and without a smart-clothes assisted home nursing program during the heightened…

2022

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has required restrictions of daily activities, which has been found to impact the lives of persons living with dementia (PLWDs) and their family caregivers, who have multiple care demands. The lack of relevant studies in Taiwan emphasized the need to explore the experiences of family caregivers of older PLWDs faced with the intensified restrictions to control the spread of COVID-19, and the impact of the availability of a smart-clothes home nursing program. Methods This qualitative study used semi-structured interviews with family caregivers of older PLWDs. Participants were recruited from dementia clinics of a medical center in northern Taiwan from a subset…

Varhaiskasvatusopiskelijavanhempien käsityksiä sukupuolesta ja sukupuolirooleista

2017

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisia käsityksiä varhaiskas-vatusopiskelijavanhemmilla on sukupuolesta ja sukupuolirooleista. Lisäksi tutkimus tarkastelee, vaikuttavatko nämä käsitykset leikki-, lelu- ja vaatevalintoihin ja lasten sukupuolirooleihin. Aineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla neljää varhaiskasvatusopiskelijavanhempaa. Äitejä oli kolme, isiä yksi. Haastattelut toteutettiin yksilöhaastatteluna hyödyntäen puolistrukturoitua haastattelumenetelmää. Aineisto analysoitiin aineistolähtöisellä sisällönanalyysillä. Tuloksista selvisi, että vanhempien käsitysten mukaan sukupuoli jakaa ihmiset johonkin sukupuolikategoriaan, mutta sukupuoli ei saa estää ihmistä millään taval…

Who Dares to Wear Trousers? Adoption of a New Fashion by Finnish Women 1920–1980

2021

Trousers have traditionally been men’s clothing that women have not been allowed to wear. In this article, I study the history of women’s wearing of trousers in the twentieth-century Finnish context by analysing women’s own memories and experiences of the trouser trend. My research material consists of written reminiscences, which I use, first, to reconstruct the social and cultural factors that framed women’s choices. Second, I approach their personal preferences and choices by analysing their narrative identities in the context of dress. My analysis shows that the cultural norms, conventions and expectations about a proper dress were crucial for adopting a new fashion trend. The most impo…
