Elisabeth on Free Will, Preordination, and Philosophical Doubt
2021
Elisabeth is widely known as a critic of René Descartes' account of mind--body interaction and scholarly interpretations of her view on the will most often pose the question about the freedom of the will in relation to bodily impulses such as the passions. This chapter takes a different perspective and focuses on the problem of the compatibility of free will and providence, as it is discussed in a sequence of six letters that Elisabeth and Descartes wrote between September 1645 and January 1646. The chapter focuses on this specific metaphysical problem in order to ask what Elisabeth's remarks on the topic can tell about her general philosophical method as well as about her particular philos…
A Historical Analysis of Media Practices and Technologies in Protest Movements : A Review of Crisis and Critique by Anne Kaun
2017
Dr. Anne Kaun’s book, <em>Crisis and Critique: A Brief History of Media Participation in Times of Crisis</em> (London: Zed Books, 2016, 131 pp., ISBN: 978-1-78360-736-5), is a concise but comprehensive analysis of the changing media practices and technologies in protest movements. The book overviews the topic within the context of major economic crises and scrutinises three richly detailed case studies in the United States: (a) the unemployed workers’ movement during the Great Depression in the 1930s, (b) the tenants’ rent strike movement of the early 1970s, and (c) the Occupy Wall Street movement following the Great Recession of 2008. Kaun begins her book with an introduction t…
Neljännesunssi yhdeksälläkymmenellä taalalla : kotoutuksen sietämätön keveys William Burroughsin suomennoksissa
2015
Käännösgraduni tarkastelee kotouttamista ja vieraannuttamista valitsemissani katkelmissa William Burroughsin suomennoksia, omani mukaan lukien. Se sisältää johdannon, käännösnäytteen, käännöspäiväkirjan ja analyysin. Olen valinnut tutkimusmateriaalini yrittäen saada kirjailijan monipuolisesta tuotannosta mukaan mahdollisimman kattavan kuvan – toisaalta valintaa on ohjannut se, mitä kirjailijalta on aiemmin suomennettu. Käännöstieteen teorian osalta tukeudun tutkielmassani mm. Ritva Leppihalmeen, Outi Paloposken, Irma Sorvalin, Katja Vuokon ja Lawrence Venutin ajatteluun. Metodiksi olen valinnut vertailevan lähestymistavan: tarkastelen suomennoksia ja paikallistan niiden keskinäisiä eroja. N…
Can the neuroticism-willingness to communicate relationship across languages be explained by anxiety?
2021
This study focuses on the role of neuroticism in shaping L1 and L2 users’ communicative behaviour, as represented by the L1/L2 users’ willingness to communicate (WTC). It was expected that this relationship could be explained by language-specific forms of anxiety: communication apprehension (CA) in L1 communication, and language anxiety (LA) in L2 communication. The participants were 621 Polish secondary grammar school students at the intermediate to upper-intermediate levels of English proficiency. Two mediation analyses revealed that for L1 communication, neuroticism was significantly related to WTC, with CA mediating this relationship. For L2 communication, in contrast, this relationship…

Goodwill and Criteria for its Recognition in Financial Statements
2004
The article summarises a research on goodwill which is one of the most controversial assets. The research includes a comparison between the descriptions of the economic nature of goodwill and an analysis of various valuation methods and accounting policies. The article discusses the internationally recognised problem that there coexist several accepted methods of accounting for goodwill arising from the acquisition of an enterprise, as a result of which the accountancy data of different enterprises and countries are incomparable.
Looking for determinants of willingness-to-pay for Sibelius Hall, Lahti
2017
The aim of this paper is to determine the factors affecting the willingness-to-pay for a local concert hall, namely Sibelius Hall in Lahti. Our study argues that a high income, the use of cultural services and a positive attitude towards culture were connected to a high willingness-to-pay for Sibelius Hall. Our study revealed that “I do not know” answers can be partly explained by the character of cultural preferences being an acquired taste. As a consequence, the users and respondents exhibiting a positive attitude towards culture may choose the “I do not know” option instead of making a zero bid. peerReviewed

Diferencias sexuales en el aprendizaje del Laberinto Hebb-Williams con ratones OF1
2017
espanolEl Laberinto Hebb-Williams es una prueba utilizada para evaluar el aprendizaje espacial en animales. Aunque la capacidad espacial es una funcion cognitiva considerada sexodimorfica, donde los machos muestran una ventaja frente a las hembras, los resultados de los pocos estudios que evaluen diferencias de sexo en esta prueba no son concluyentes. Por ello, en este estudio nos propusimos comprobar si los ratones OF1 machos ejecutaban mejor que las hembras las tareas del Laberinto Hebb-Williams, y si esa ventaja era independiente de la dificultad del laberinto. Se utilizo la version reducida para ratones, la cual consta de 5 laberintos, 3 consi-derados faciles y 2 dificiles. Los resultad…
VOX Spain: The Organisational Challenges of a New Radical Right Party
2021
This article examines the organisation of VOX, a new radical right party in Spain. It shows that the party has taken early and uneven steps to build a mass organisation and initially opted for open membership recruitment with participatory organisational elements. Also, the party’s rapid growth and quick entrance into political institutions at different state levels led the party leadership to establish more centralised control and limit members’ prerogatives, though recruitment continued. Centralisation in part responds to organisational needs given the party’s quickly acquired political relevance, but also to the desire of the central party leadership to forestall the articulation of terr…
