Full textAbstract:
Within the context of the general ethnic and cultural 'revival' of post-Soviet society, this thesis is an examination of the Komi ethnic movement that is developing in the autonomous Komi Republic of northwest Russia, and specifically of the attempt to build an indigenous bilingual Komi elite. While the Soviet ethno-federal hierarchy did provide for some development of non-Russian elites, differences between the status of union and autonomous republics in this hierarchy were duplicated in policy on ethnic elite formation. As a people accorded only autonomous republic status, Komi were marginalised within the Soviet system of elite training. Komi did, however, develop cultural elites while the political apparatus remained controlled by non-Komi or at best, by those assimilated Komi fundamentally without a knowledge of the language. Consequently, the Komi movement was very much unprepared to grasp the new political opportunities offered by perestroika and the collapse of the Soviet state and since 1991, several issues have been of increasing significance to Komi: language revival, educational reform, and most importantly rural renewal, as it is in the villages that the majority of the ethnic Komi/Komi speaking population lives. The lack of an experienced political leadership, however, has been a fundamental weakness in the current programme of 'revival'. Recognised early on by the ethnic movement, this problem was addressed in 1994 through the creation of the Finno-Ugrian Faculty (FUF) in the local university (Syktyvkar State University), which I identify as the intended institutional structure for the development of Komi elites. This research explores the strategic and practical debates amongst the emerging post-perestroika Komi leadership, and involves sociological discussion of the issues of rural exclusion, elite recruitment, and perceptions of ethnicity, all taking into consideration the actual and perceived role of the Komi language in society.

Abstract This study analyses environmental concern in the Komi Republic from the contextual perspective. The main research data consisted of thematic interviews of industrial workers (n = 114), teachers (n = 30), administration staff (n = 33) in the towns of Usinsk and Vorkuta in the Northern Komi Republic. In addition, the in-depth thematic interviews of state administrators, scientists and NGO actors are analysed as well as the survey study conducted in several regions in the republic. As a broad theoretical frame the study uses the context model, in which environmental concern in everyday life is interpreted at five closely connected levels. The study consists of four previously published articles, one submitted manuscript and a concluding chapter. As the major theoretical and methodological idea the study presents two different environments: a life-world of the individual, where environmental changes are perceived and experienced in a framework of everyday life, and secondly, global environmentalism’s Environment, which is nowadays in Western discourses viewed as a globe. This study focuses on the life-world perspective, and asks how these two environments communicate with each other in the particular contexts of the Komi Republic. In general, environmental issues hold a low profile compared with other social problems in the Komi Republic. However, the citizens of the Komi Republic are concerned about so-called ’brown‘ environmental issues; that is issues of pollution and waste disposal in their immediate environs. The public’s environmental concerns are mostly about ’ecological risks‘ – the health and well-being implications of environmental degradation. Environmental problems are regarded as part societal transformation. This ’brown‘ environmentalism is understandable in Russia since approximately 60 million Russians now live in zones with adverse environmental situations. Green or global issues are not much discussed among the public of Russia. The findings stress that engagement with the surrounding environment, local conditions and socio-political contexts shape perceptions and framings of environmental change. Local perceptions and local knowledge are still a crucial basis for concernTiivistelmä Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan ympäristötietoisuutta ja -huolta Komin tasavallassa kontekstuaalisesta näkökulmasta. Tärkein osa tutkimusaineistosta koostuu teollisuustyöntekijöiden (n = 114), opettajien (n = 30) ja yritys- ja julkisen hallinnon edustajien (n = 33) teemahaastatteluista Usinskin ja Vorkutan kaupungeissa tasavallan pohjoisosassa. Lisäksi työssä on analysoitu valtion virkamiesten, tutkijoiden sekä kansalaisjärjestöjen toimijoiden teemahaastatteluja sekä tasavallan eri alueilla tehdyn kyselytutkimuksen tuloksia. Tutkimuksessa hyödynnetään kontekstimallia, jossa ympäristötietoisuutta tarkastellaan viiden toisiinsa limittyvän tason kautta. Tutkimus koostuu neljästä julkaistusta artikkelista, yhdestä käsikirjoituksesta ja yhteenvetoluvusta. Tutkimuksen tärkein teoreettinen ja metodologinen idea jakaa ympäristön kahtia: ensimmäinen on yksilön elämismaailma, missä ympäristömuutokset havaitaan ja koetaan arkielämän kehystäminä, ja toinen, globaalin environmentalismin ympäristö, minkä nykyisin ajatellaan käsittävän koko maapallon. Tämä tutkimus keskittyy elämismaailmanäkökulmaan ja kysyy, kuinka nämä kaksi ympäristöä kommunikoivat toistensa kanssa eri konteksteissa. Yleisellä tasolla tarkasteltuna ympäristöongelmat ovat taustalla kansalaisten elämässä verrattuna muihin sosiaalisiin ongelmiin. Komin tasavallan asukkaat ovat kuitenkin huolissaan niin kutsutuista ’ruskeista’ ympäristökysymyksistä eli lähinnä saastumiseen ja erilaisiin jätteisiin liittyvistä ongelmista. Kansalaisten ympäristöhuoli kytkeytyy ennen kaikkea ekologisiin riskeihin – ympäristön pilaantumisen terveydellisiin ja hyvinvointiin liittyviin seuraamuksiin. Näin ympäristöongelmat limittyvät muiden sosiaalisten ongelmien kanssa ja koetaan osaksi yhteiskunnallista muutosta. Tämä ’ruskea’ ympäristöhuoli on ymmärrettävä ilmiö Venäjällä, missä noin 60 miljoonaa kansalaista asuu terveydelle haitallisissa ympäristöoloissa. ’Vihreitä’ tai globaaleja ympäristökysymyksiä ei juurikaan käsitellä Venäjän julkisessa keskustelussa. Tutkimuksen tulokset painottavat lähiympäristöön sitoutumisen ja elämismaailman merkitystä ympäristömuutosten havainnoinnissa sekä yhteiskunnallisten kontekstien vaikutusta ympäristökysymysten kehystämiseen. Paikallisella havainnoinnilla ja tiedolla on edelleen suuri rooli ympäristötietoisuuden muotoutumisessa

Full textAbstract:
Auditory feedback has been shown to be highly effective at teaching new skills to athletes in a variety of sports. This method consists of targeting a routine, breaking down the specific skills required to complete the routine, and training an individual on those skills using an auditory device to provide feedback on correct responses. This study evaluated the effectiveness of auditory feedback for improving a judo technique. One set of techniques taught in judo are standing throws, which require a partner to receive the technique (uke.) These throws require specific skills to successfully implement the technique. Auditory feedback was evaluated within a multiple baseline across participants design to increase skills for one specific standing throw, ippon seoi nage (one armed shoulder throw.) The skills were scored on a seven item checklist. All participants improved their performance on ippon seoi nage at a quicker pace than what was observed during baseline.

Full textAbstract:
Nomadic pastoralism is a form of animal husbandry characterised by movement. Herders and their animals move across the tundra and taiga displaying a curious dichotomous relationship of control by and response to each other. This field based research – carried out among Komi nomadic reindeer herders of the Russian far north – examines how Komi pastoral nomads choose a particular time, route and length of migration. This was explored by using anthropological as well as ecological methods to (i) identify how social and political change and environmental variability influence the reindeers’ and herders’ movements alike and (ii) examine how nomadic movements occur in relation to non-ecological and ecological factors. It was found that there were essentially two types of human/animal movements; individual movements (made by the duty herder and his herd) and collective movements (made by the brigade). Both types of movement, in time and space, were fundamentally dependent upon herding skill and knowledge, and herd control: (a) the duty herder’s ability to maintain herd cohesion and (b) the general aim of preventing harm befalling the herd (by avoiding dangerous terrain). The duty herder’s selection of pastures was, therefore, made mainly according to where reindeer were the easiest to control. It was also found that individual movements could best be understood as emanating from the interplay between reindeer behaviour and the duty herder’s actions. This interplay is best described as being the duty herder’s skilful perception of and response to ethological changes, as advocated by Tim Ingold. Its main principle is based on the duty herder’s maintenance of herd cohesion, within a restricted territory, which has minimal impact upon reindeer behaviour, and which is achieved through skilful manoeuvring. Collective movements could best be described as a means of providing duty herders with the necessary space in which to manoeuvre their herds with the minimum recourse to herding techniques (such as grouping and re-grouping, stopping and turning the herd), and the avoidance of undesirable pasturing areas. A new model for analysing nomadic pastoralist movement – focusing on the interrelations between nomads and their animals and the impacts that individual factors have upon it – is proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Dans mon travail de recherche, je m'intéresse au cadre politique et culturel des camps de travail forcé de la république des Komi. La "culture concentrationnaire" s'est manifestée sur le terrain historiquement lié au développement des camps de travail forcé en URSS, et elle est issue de leur formation économique et sociale. Par conséquent, l'hypothèse suivante peut être envisagée : on a engendré sous Staline une sorte d'amalgame entre le cadre politique et le cadre culturel au Goulag qui s'était enraciné dans la propagande. Il s'établissait un rapport de nécessité entre le politique et le culturel. Le travail socio-éducatif était une sorte d'instrument stratégique que le Goulag avait mis en place dans le but de promouvoir les intérêts du régime. Néanmoins, l'émergence de l'art théâtral au Goulag touchait à quelque chose tout à fait particulier, grâce aux efforts et au savoir-faire des intellectuels des milieux culturels déportés, ce qui permet de caractériser de créative et artistique, la culture "concentrationnaire". Ceci a donné lieu à une contradiction étonnante : d'un côté, la culture "concentrationnaire" était une "sous-culture" qui était objectivement une sorte de prolongement de la culture officielle d'Etat-Parti. Mais d'autre côté, elle était aussi une "culture de la résistance" parce que la dimension esthétique des détenus artistes au théâtre du camp était un moyen de puissance spirituelle qui leur attribuait, en fin de compte, un pouvoir de contestation non violente de l'ordre "concentrationnaire"Any mentioning of "Gulag culture" as an integrant part of Russian cultural history was banned during 73 years of the Soviet Union. Nevertheless, its notion comprises a multitude of realities. Understanding its complexity requires careful considerations which should be embedded in the context of historical dynamics that governed Soviet society under Josef Stalin. The present research work attempts to address the history of the Gulag throught Soviet ideology and culture, namely performings arts. Thus the thesis shows that "Gulag culture" was a subculture in Stalin's society. It was the embodiment of the prisoners' civilization that affected thousands, even millions, of "slaves" that the Soviet authorities created as an instrument for an economic need. The cultural frameworks in the forced labor camps embraced heartily propaganda and political agitation, but, at the same time, the full-fledged theatre companies composed of prisoners (creative intelligentsia representatives) who put great effort in spreading artistic activities within the camps played a very particular role. In some way, the phantasmagoric reality, which reigned in the camp theater, helped to overcome difficulties and an absurdity of the imprisonment. After all, there existed, in the country burdened under the weight of ideology, a "parallel" society with its own mode of life and culture

Full textAbstract:
Le changement climatique en cours entraîne et va entraîner encore d’importantes modifications au niveau de la structuration et de la biodiversité des écosystèmes forestiers. Les forêts boréales, qui comptent parmi les plus grands biomes forestiers de la planète (32 % du couvert forestier mondiale) sont particulièrement impactés par de tels changements. Les incendies y sont des perturbateurs majeurs et ils participent à la dynamique de ces forêts. La récente augmentation des activités de feux dans ces écosystèmes soulève des questions d’ordre écologique et socio-économique. Les conséquences du réchauffement climatique global sont déjà observées dans ces régions, notamment au Canada et en Russie, où des hivers et des printemps plus chauds (augmentation de 2 à 3°C) ont été enregistrés depuis les années 1960. De plus, le changement climatique en cours renverse le bilan net du stockage de carbone les forêts boréales semblent maintenant passer de leur état de puit de carbone à un état source de carbone. Afin de mieux comprendre les mécanismes sous-jacents au fonctionnement de ce type de forêt, et afin de mieux anticiper les changements encore à venir, l’étude de sa dynamique passée permet d’apporter des éléments de réponses. L’objectif de la thèse consiste à étudier et comprendre les intéractions entre la dynamique des incendies, de la végétation et du climat de l’Holocène (derniers 11700 ans) en République de Komi, une région de Russie, dont ces questions ont été très peu documentées. Dans un premier temps, l’étude de la dynamique des incendies a révélé que la fréquence de feu a augmenté de manière graduelle tout au long de l’Holocène. Les changements de végétation au cours de l’Holocène ont été retracés à partir de l’analyse des grains de pollen et du modèle REVEALS. Une forêt de type taïga claire (type particulier de forêt boréale) s’est développée au début de l’Holocène, de 10000 à 6000 cal. yr BP. Ensuite, de 10000 à 3500 cal. yr BP, une taïga sombre s’est installée. Puis à partir de 3500 cal. yr BP, on observe le retour progressif de la taïga claire. Les reconstitutions paléoclimatiques basées sur une double approche, pollen et biomarqueurs moléculaires (brGDGts), ont mis en évidence un optimum climatique entre 7000 et 4000 cal. yr BP. La mise en relation de ces résultats les uns avec les autres nous a amené à conclure que pour la première moitié de l’Holocène, le climat a une influence majeure sur la végétation. Puis à partir de 3500 cal. yr BP, le passage de la fréquence des feux sous une valeur seuil (FRI, Intervalle de retour de feu < 200 ans) a eu un impact plus fort que le climat sur la végétation. Depuis les 600 dernières années, l’intensification des activités humaines a mené à une surexploitation de la forêt et à une augmentation de son activité. Un autre aspect de la thèse a consisté à étudier les dynamiques des incendies de deux autres régions, en Carélie, et dans la région sud du Lac Baïkal. La dynamique des feux y a été plus complexe qu’en République de Komi, car elle n’a pas suivie la même tendance à la décroissance graduelle du FRIOngoing climate change is causing and will continue to cause significant changes in the structure and biodiversity of forest ecosystems. Boreal forests, which are among the world's largest forest biomes (32% of the world's forest cover), are particularly affected by such changes. Fires are major perturbators and contribute to the dynamics of these forests. The recent increase in fire activity in these ecosystems raises ecological and socio-economic issues. The consequences of global warming are already being observed in these regions, particularly in Canada and Russia, where warmer winters and springs (2 to 3°C increase) have been recorded since the 1960s. In addition, ongoing climate change is reversing the net carbon storage of boreal forests, which now appears to be shifting from their carbon sink state to a carbon source state. In order to better understand the mechanisms underlying the functioning of this type of forest, and to anticipate future changes, the study of its past dynamics allows us to provide some answers. The aim of this phD is to study and understand the interactions between the dynamics of Holocene fire, vegetation and climate (last 11700 years) in the Republic of Komi, a region of Russia, where these questions have been very poorly documented. Vegetation dynamics during the Holocene were reconstructed from pollen grain analysis and the REVALS model. An open light forest (a particular type of boreal forest) developed in the early Holocene, from 10,000 to 6,000 cal. yr BP. Then, from 10000 to 3500 cal. yr BP, a dark taiga settled. Then from 3500 cal. yr BP, we observe the gradual return of the light taiga. Paleoclimatic reconstructions based on a dual approach, pollen and molecular biomarkers (brGDGts), have shown a climatic optimum between 7000 and 4000 cal. yr BP. The relationship between these results led us to conclude that for the first half of the Holocene, climate had a major influence on vegetation. Then from 3500 cal. yr BP, the change in fire frequency below a threshold value (FRI, Fire Return Interval < 200 years) had a greater impact on vegetation than the climate. Over the past 600 years, the intensification of human activities led to overexploitation of the forest and an increase in its fire activity. Another aspect of the phD was to study the fire dynamics of two other regions, in Karelia and in the southern region of Lake Baikal. Fire dynamics were more complex than in the Republic of Komi, as they did not follow the same trend of gradual decline in the FRI

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the social, economic and political aspects of reindeer husbandry among the Komi, a people living in the north of European Russia. Taking agency as an initial concept, successive chapters examine how agency can be understood in various domains: the reindeer-herding unit and enterprise, the household and village community, relations with oil companies which are using the same land, and other actors further afield. The concept of agency is developed in counterpart to forms of structural and other constraints, yielding a complex picture of opportunity and resources. A simultaneous historical strand allows us to focus down on the concept of tradition. Through an analysis of differing and contradictory scales of image and value, I show how the concept of tradition is the most constraining of all since it originates and is validated from outside. In conclusion, I argue that gaining control of their own image is a vital requirement for the reindeer herders and their family members in order to develop a viable future.

The study aims to analyze the reliance in different EU institutions - the Parliament and the Commission - of 25 member countries citizens.
The reliance in institutions can be defined as a belief found in society, that institution answers citizens’ expectations.
The reliance in the Community and policy it implements differs from the desirable. Citizens expect active, public, transparent Community, in which could be felt tangible results of policy, based on cooperation, compromises and taking into account all interests. In recent years, the reliance in the EU is 48 %, meanwhile 52 % of member countries citizens expressed their reliance in the European Parliament, 47 % - in the European Commission.
From the survey a conclusion can be drawn, that younger, better educated, subjectively well ranking their knowledge about the Community respondents, rely more in the EU.
The European Parliament is the institution that gains the biggest reliance, because it is the best known. The presumption can be done, that citizens tend to rely in the Parliament, because it is the only elective institution in the EU or because of its power to control direct and indirect work of the European Council, the Commission and other institutions of the EU.
The European Commission gains its trust, because it has more and various powers in comparison with other EU institutions. The presumption can be done, that it is relied as a guardian of the Community or as ,,a power of integration”, than the privilege of... [to full text]

In my work as speech and language pathologist I often meet people emerging from coma andtheir experiences intrigue me. Coma is an eluding human condition that offers a challenge formodern science and our view on body and mind. In my Master project in Creative Writing Iwanted to try to enter this zone that is so hard for a clinician to reach: the personal experienceof being in a coma. By writing HUSK MIDAS I have tried to create a realistic fiction based onresearch on coma state and real-life stories of people waking up from coma.In my exploration of the coma state I found that lucid dreaming is common apart fromdreaming, many patients experience sensory inputs like sound and touch which aremisinterpreted and woven into dreams and creating a feeling of confusion and fear.Coma is a frequent theme in literature and film but is often depicted unrealistically andmisleadingly. A few works like Artur Lundkvist’s Journeys in Dream and Imagination andthe film The Descendents by Alexander Payne show a more reality based fiction. While themedical care has the responsibility to provide accurate information and make important healthcare decisions regardless of possible public misconceptions, fiction helps us to dramatize thecoma experience and bring to life this marginalized and otherwise non-communicable state ofthe human condition.

O presente trabalho consiste na análise do sangue e de seu simbolismo e representações no candomblé. Ocupando um lugar de destaque no imaginário desta religião de matriz africana, este líquido orgânico circula por diferentes contextos, sendo a ele atribuídos significados distintos e/ou ainda antagônicos. Como portador de axé, é através dele que o povo do santo faz a manutenção da energia vital individual e coletiva, incluindo aí os próprios orixás, e dos laços sociais estabelecidos na família de santo . É também por usar o sangue em seus rituais que este culto de matriz africana é estigmatizado e discriminado. E ainda, fomenta interditos para mulheres sob a forma de sangue menstrual, por ser um meio de desgaste de axé. Através de minha vivência enquanto filha de santo do Ilê Obá Aganjú Okoloyá, do trabalho de campo realizado, principalmente neste terreiro de nação nagô localizado no bairro de Dois Unidos (Recife PE), e da literatura antropológica, percebi o sangue enquanto símbolo-chave do culto afro-brasileiro, inclusive podendo ser considerado demarcador de identidade religiosa

The title of this paper gives three variants of what historically is the same name:
Koti = the present-day indigenous name of Koti Island;
Ngoji = the older form of the same name;
Angoche = the official name of the town, adapted from the name of the AKoti people
EKoti is the language of Angoche, a town on the coast of Nampula Province, in Mozambique. EKoti is in most respects very similar to the neighbouring coastal varieties of Makhuwa, but it also has many lexical and morphological items that are derived from Swahili. My colleague F. U. Mucanheia, co-author of our forthcoming grammar of EKoti, has recorded a story about the origin of Koti Island and its people. In the present paper, I summarize the text of this oral tradition, and I compare it to the dynastic traditions from Angoche and to those found in the Kilwa chronicle, pointing out differences but also establishing links.

Kurs: Examensarbete i Logistik, 30 hp Författare: Matilda Svensson och Hanna Delius Handledare:Petra Andersson Examinator: Helena Forslund Titel: Framtida förbättringsmöjligheter för kombi- och omlastningsterminaler - En fallstudie på Alvestas kombi- och omlastningsterminal Nyckelord: Kombi- och omlastningsterminaler, intermodala transporter, utnyttjandegrad, interna och externa faktorer Arbetets syfte är att identifiera och analysera interna och externa faktorer som uppstår på kombi- och omlastningsterminaler samt att analysera hur utbudet på kombi- och omlastningsterminaler kan utvecklas för att möjliggöra ökad utnyttjandegrad. Arbetet har besvarat tre frågeställningar: - Vilka interna och externa faktorer har lett till att kombi- och omlastningsterminalen i Alvesta inte når önskad utnyttjandegrad? Interna faktorer: kompetens, typ av gods, lagring, hantering av gods/ej synkroniserat, ej elektrifierade spår, informationshantering, typ av utrustning, ej kontinuerligt flöde, utrymme och markunderlag. Externa faktorer: Lagar, dieselskatt, vägslitageskatt, konjunktur, befolkningsmängd, buller, nya innovationer, IT-system, infrastruktur, Andra kombi- och omlastningsterminaler, leverantörer, kund och lastbil.
- Hur kan kombi- och omlastningsterminaler i Sverige möta externa faktorer i framtiden? I utförandeplanen kom författarna fram till att det är viktigt för kombi- och omlastningsterminaler att inte bara fokusera på intermodal verksamhet. Det är även viktigt att ha ett effektivt IT-system som kan användas och hantera många och komplexa flöden. Järnvägen är lönsam med gods som är tungt och som kan fraktas långa sträckor därför borde kombi- och omlastningsterminaler kolla på möjligheten att transportera gods till andra länder och inte bara inom Sverige. Sedan borde kombi- och omlastningsterminaler kolla på möjligheten att förlänga spåren som finns på terminalen för att kunna hantera längre tåg. Den sista förbättringslaget är att kombi- och omlastningsterminaler borde kolla på att automatisera hanteringen. Hur kan kombi- och omlastningsterminalen i Alvesta utvecklas, genom att möta identifierade interna faktorer, för att möjliggöra för ökad utnyttjandegrad? För att öka utnyttjandegraden har författarna till arbetet kommit fram till att Alvestas kombi- och omlastningsterminal borde ha flera transportoperatörer, förbättrad lagerhantering, stuffa containrar, hantera virkespaket, använda cross-docking, hantera farligt gods, utökade öppettider, bättre markunderlag, elektrifierade spår, hantera timmer, implementera ett intermodalt transportsystem, investera i ett lagringstält, automatisering kring hantering och omlastning.

Full textAbstract:
Diplomityöni on tutkielma, jossa pohdin kotia ja kodittomuutta arkkitehdin näkökulmasta. Työn nimi, koti ja kodittomuus arkkitehdin näkökulmasta, antaa puitteet tarkastelulleni. Tarkoitukseni ei ole käsitellä kotia ja kodittomuutta yleensä, vaan näkökulmani on arkkitehdin, rakennetun ympäristön suunnittelijan. Työni päämäärä on selvittää millaisena koti ja kodittomuus näyttäytyvät arkkitehdille, ja millainen on arkkitehdin mahdollisuus vaikuttaa kodittomuuden ongelmaan. Tavoitteeni on syventää arkkitehdin ymmärrystä siitä, miten rakennettu ympäristö osaltaan vaikuttaa kodin tai kodittomuuden tunteeseen. Diplomityöni jakautuu viiteen lukuun, joista ensimmäinen, toinen, kolmas ja neljäs muodostavat kirjallisen osan, ja viides sovellusosan. Työn rakenne on toisinto sisäisestä matkastani perehtyessäni aiheeseen: työ etenee kuten ajatusketju, jossa seuraava luku rakentuu edellisen varaan. Ensimmäisessä luvussa kerron työni lähtökohdista ja avaan sen kannalta keskeiset käsitteet, kodin ja kodittomuuden, ja määritän miten ne tämän työn osalta ymmärretään. Tässä luvussa määrittelen myös työni rajauksen, eli ne kysymykset, joihin pyrin vastaamaan. Toisessa luvussa lähden etsimään vastausta kahdelle edellisessä luvussa esitetylle kysymykselle tutkimalla ihmisen, suunnittelijan ja ympäristön vuorovaikutussuhteita. Pohdin ihmisen, suunnittelijan ja ympäristön suhdetta toisiinsa ensin yleisesti, sitten tarkemmin käsitellen ympäristöä sanattomana kommunikaationa sekä psyykkisen itsesäätelyn välineenä. Kolmannessa luvussa esittelen kaksi edellisen luvun perusteella laadittua ihminen-ympäristö-suunnittelija -mallia. Mallien toimintaa tutkin asettamani kodin kokemisen tavoitetilan valossa, käyden läpi kaikki ne arkkitehdin kannalta keskeiset vaiheet, jotka johtavat joko kodin tai kodittomuuden kokemiseen. Neljännessä luvussa esitän tämän työn johtopäätökset, jotka perustuvat edellisen luvun pohdintaan. Johtopäätökset ovat vastaus ensimmäisessä luvussa esitettyihin kahteen diplomityöni kysymykseen. Viides luku on sovellusosa, jossa havainnollistan esimerkinomaisesti miten edellisen luvun johtopäätöksiä voitaisiin tuoda käytäntöönMy diploma thesis is a study in which I reflect home and homelessness from architect’s point of view. Name of the theses, “Architect’s point of view to home and homelessness”, forms its framework. My intention is not to address the phenomena of home and homelessness as a whole. Instead my perspective is the one of an architect. I aim to discover how home and homelessness appear in the eyes of architects and what potential they have in affecting the phenomenon. The objective of my thesis is to deepen the architect’s understanding about the ways in which the build environment contributes to one’s experience of home or homelessness. The thesis is divided into five chapters, of which the first, second, third and fourth form the study part. The fifth chapter demonstrates how the studied phenomenon could be applied to the reality. The structure of the thesis reflects my inner journey and contemplation towards understanding of the topic. The structure follows the progression of my thoughts process, where the next chapter builds upon the previous one. In the first chapter I describe the starting point for my study. I introduce concepts of home and homelessness and determine how these are understood in the context of my thesis. This chapter also defines the objective of my thesis as I formulate the question I seek to answer. In the second chapter I take a look at the interactions between the human, the architect and the environment in order to answer the questions formed in the previous chapter. I reflect the relationships between the human, the architect and the environment first in general terms, then more closely by treating the environment as non-verbal communication and as a tool for psychic self-regulation. Based on the information discovered in the previous chapter, the third chapter presents two human-environment-architect -models. I also set the goal, a desired state in which a person is most likely to “feel at home”. I study the models in the light of the given goal, advancing through all the important steps that lead to one’s feeling of either home or homelessness. In the fourth chapter I propose the conclusions for the thesis. The conclusions are presented as answers to the questions asked in first chapter. The fifth chapter consist of concept design that demonstrates how the studied phenomena could be applied into the reality

Full textAbstract:
Anu Säilynojan diplomityön, Pace — pienen jalanjäljen koti spontaanin kaupunkikehittämisen välineenä, tarkoitus on etsiä globaalien ympäristö-, ja sosiaalisten ongelmien aiheuttamaan tilanteeseen sopeutuvaa ja monistettavaa asumisen tapaa, konseptia, joka mahdollistaisi ihmisarvoisen elämän ja kodin useammalle; sallisi kaupunkien väestönkasvun kestävällä tavalla samalla pienentäen asukkaidensa ekologista jalanjälkeä. Diplomityössä selvitetään kestämättömään tilanteeseen johtaneita syitä ja spontaanin pienen jalanjäljen asumisen piirteitä, jotta voidaan lopulta vastata siihen, millaisena minimiasuminen voisi onnistuneesti tukea kaupunkien ja ihmisten kestävää kehitystä ja millä tavalla arkkitehdit ja kaupunkisuunnittelijat voisivat ottaa tilapäisen, pienimittakaavaisen ja kestävän minimiasumisen mallin osaksi välineistöään. Diplomityön tavoite on ottaa oppia pienen jalanjäljen asumisesta spontaanina kehitysvälineenä maailman kaupungeissa, oppia sen vahvuuksista ja heikkouksista, epäonnistumisista ja onnistumisista, syistä marginalisoitumisen ja sivuun jääneiden suunnitelmien takana. Samalla luodaan mikroasunnoille omaa teoreettista pohjaa, liitetään ne kokonaisuutena yhteiskunnallisesti uskottavaan kontekstiin niin asuntosuunnittelun, humanitäärisen arkkitehtuurin kuin kestävyyttä tavoittelevan kaupunkikehityksenkin osalta. Metodina käytetään kestävän kehityksen suunnittelussa ja tulevaisuuden tutkimuksessa käytettyä ABCD-metodia. Diplomityön keskeisiä käsitteitä ja aihealueita konseptin taustalla ovat minimiasuminen ja pienen jalanjäljen asuminen sekä kestävän kehityksen suunnitteluteoria. Informaalien suunnittelukäytäntöjen teoriapohjaa tässä diplomityössä haetaan muiden muassa tilapäisten käyttöjen ja spontaanin kaupunkien kehittymisen kautta. Diplomityössä esitetään metodin mukaisesti kunnianhimoinen kuva tulevaisuuden tilanteesta, selvitetään kestävyyden vastaiseen tilanteeseen johtaneet syyt asumisessa ja kerätään tulevaisuuden suunnitelman kannalta keskeiset muuttujat edellytyksiksi kestävän mallin luomiseen. Diplomityössä esitetään kestävyysperiaatteiden kautta suodattuneet esimerkit ja tuodaan niiden välityksellä esiin luovat askeleet, jotka auttavat tavoitteeseen pääsemisessä. Globaaliin ongelmaan ehdotetaan lopulta paikallista ratkaisua. Käyttäjäskenaariot havainnollistavat konseptin toteutumista Suomen olosuhteisiin eri käyttäjäprofiileihin sovellettuna. Kun Suomessa suurin keskimääräisen asumisen hiilijalanjälkeen vaikuttava yksittäinen tekijä on lämmitettävien neliöiden määrä yhtä henkilöä kohden, tässä diplomityössä on pienen jalanjäljen konseptin avulla kiinnitetty huomiota asunnon lämmitettävään kuutiomäärään ja sen pienentämiseen. Pienen jalanjäljen kodin on määrä toimia yhdyskuntaa täydentävänä ihmisten ”joustoresurssina”, jonka avulla voisi helpottaa asunnonhankintaa, täydennysrakentamista, keventää tarvittavien korjausten ja muutosten määrää ja esimerkiksi jatkaa jonkin rakennuksen käyttöikää ja helpottaa käyttötarkoituksen muutosta, kun tekniset päivitystarpeet tai lisätilaresurssi voidaan täyttää siirrettävillä yksiköillä. Diplomityön viimeinen osio vastaa tiedon luovaa ja valikoitua soveltamista konseptiin. Käyttäjäskenaarioissa luodaan kuva siitä, miten pienestä osittain esivalmisteisesta rakennuksesta saa pienen kaupunkimoottorin, itsenäisen energia- ja materiaaliyksikön, joka siirtyy kaupungin kehityksen myötä ja tuo osaltaan lihaa kivikaupungin luiden ympärille. Diplomityön keskeisin johtopäätös on se, että konseptina esitetty vaihtoehtoinen kestävän asumisen malli tuo oikein suunniteltuna lisää keinoja vähentää asumisen päästöjä samalla, kun luo lisää vaihtoehtoja myös asukkaiden elintason parantamiseenThe purpose of Anu Säilynoja’s diploma thesis, Pace — Small footprint home as a tool of spontaneous city development, is to search for a living concept that is replicable and adapts to global environmental and social problems that we are currently facing. A concept that would enable decent life and home for more people. A concept that would allow population growth in cities in a sustainable manner while simultaneously reducing the inhabitants’ carbon footprint. Diploma thesis clarifies causes to the current untenable situation and also the characteristics of living with a spontaneously low carbon footprint in order to answer the following questions: How can minimum housing successfully support the sustainable development of cities and their inhabitants? How architects and planners could utilize temporary small-scale minimum housing as a part of their toolbox? The purpose of this diploma thesis is to learn from low carbon footprint housing in the cities around the world, to learn from its strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures, and reasons behind marginalisation. Simultaneously the diploma thesis creates theoretical background for micro housing and links them as a whole into social context in terms of design, humanitarian architecture, and sustainability-seeking urban development. ABCD method that is used in planning sustainable development is utilized in this research also. The core concepts behind the concept are minimum housing and low carbon footprint housing as well as sustainable development planning theory. Theoretical background regarding informal design practices is utilized through temporary usage and spontaneous city development. The diploma thesis brings forth an ambitious picture about the future scenario, unravels the causes that have led into unsustainable situation in housing, and gathers the essential variables regarding creating the sustainable model. Diploma thesis presents examples that are filtered through the principles of sustainability and through them it discloses the creative steps that will reaching for the target. In the end a local solution is proposed to a global problem. User scenarios with varying profiles will demonstrate implementing the concept into Finland’s conditions. In Finland the largest individual factor affecting the average carbon footprint of housing is the amount of square meters per person. This thesis in addition pays attention into cubicle meters and reducing their number. A low carbon footprint home is intended to operate as a complementary flexible resource, through which society could alleviate acquiring an apartment and continuing construction. Furthermore it would reduce the amount of required repairs and changes. It could also extend the lifetime of a building and ease the change of its purpose. The final part of the diploma thesis deals with implementing the concept into practise. User scenarios will illustrate how small and partly prefabricated building will develop into a city motor — an independent energy and material unit that is transferable with city development. A conclusion of this diploma thesis is that with correct planning applied, the presented concept of sustainable housing increases tools to reduce emissions of living while at the same time it increases the options to improve living standards of the recidents

DanceM.A.
Asian-American dance study is an integration of dance studies and Asian-American studies. The existence of social and political stereotypes on Asian-American dancers often categorizes them into an oriental labeling. The labeling of Asian-American dancers based on their ethnicity and their culture’s history in the United States and not considering the artists’ intent and the nature of their works cause this orientalism bias. Due to lack of researches in the past, older generations of Asian-American dancers in the United States fell victim to this oriental labeling. Anything that the public did not seem to understand often led them to believe what they were seeing was foreign. It is not about the issue of racism that this study intends to bring, but rather this study will focus on the Asian-American dancers’ place of belonging in the American society. Eiko & Koma, two renown Asian-American dancers, have an extensive performance career throughout their lives traveling from Japan to Europe in the early 1970s and eventually settling down in the United States in 1976. Eiko & Koma witnessed through the social, economic, and political changes in the United States from the mid-1970s to present. This research will focus on the perceptions on Asian-American dancers by the American society both in the past and the present and address the issues that revolve around them primarily through the works of Eiko & Koma and their career history.

Full textAbstract:
Today's technological development means that organizations are constantly evolving. This means that the market, which the organizations operate in, is constantly changing and becoming more complex to interpret. This development increases the demand to forecast possible outcomes and receive real-time information from the operations – i.e., obtain the most accurate data for decision-support. To make this possible, organizations need so-called ‘decision support systems’; IT-tools that rapidly provide decision makers with information based on relevant data. To obtain the highest possible value from the systems, they must seamlessly integrate and interact with the organization. This study examines how decision support systems, organizations and users relate to each other in an organizational context. The aim is to provide an insight into the limitations and possibilities of human behaviour, technological development and organizational structure to create and enable relevant and effective decision support systems. The paper’s theoretical framework is based on Orlikowski’s (1992) structurational model. The empirical material consists of semi-structured interviews, which are analysed based on Orlikowski’s model. The results show that although there is a common understanding on how the different factors should interact in order for the decision support systems to function the respondents neglected their own influence as users of the systems.Dagens teknikutveckling medför att organisationer hela tiden utvecklas och förändras. Det i sin tur medför att den marknad organisationer agerar på förändras och blir alltmer komplex att tolka. Denna utveckling ökar efterfrågan att förutspå sannolika utfall, få information om verksamheten i realtid, kort sagt få ett korrekt beslutsunderlag. För att detta ska vara möjligt behövs IT-verktyg som snabbt kan förse beslutsfattare med underlag som grundar sig på relevanta data, så kallade beslutsstödsystem. För att få ut mesta möjliga värde från beslutsstödsystemen ställs höga krav på att de integreras och samverkar med organisationen. I studien undersöks hur beslutsstödsystem, organisationer och användare förhåller sig till varandra i en organisatorisk kontext. Målet är att ge en inblick i de begränsningar och möjligheter människors agerande, teknikens utveckling och organisationens struktur skapar för att möjliggöra relevanta och effektiva system för beslutsstöd. Studiens teoretiska ramverk tar sin utgångspunkt i Orlikowskis (1992) struktureringsmodell. Det empiriska materialet utgörs av semistrukturerade intervjuer som analyseras med utgångspunkt från Orlikowskis modell. Resultatet visar att även om det överlag finns en förståelse för hur olika faktorer bör samspela för att beslutsstödsystemen ska fungera, tonar respondenterna ner sin egen betydelse som användare av systemen.

Stalna promena postala je način života u svetu biznisa. U stvari, da bi se danas održala konkurentnost, potrebno je da se pored pa- žnje koja se posvećuje poboljšanju posla koji se danas obavlja misli i na to šta treba da se preduzme da bi se izdržala konkurencija i opstalo u budućnosti. Naime, uspešni poslovni subjekti u sve turbulentnijem okruženju moraju da uvažavaju činjenicu da je poslovna izvrsnost osnovna determinanta koja obezbeđuje njihov opstanak, razvoj i rast. Zbog toga ocena stanja poslovne izvrsnosti i postavljenih ciljeva mora da se meri kao i sve drugo putem tehnike benčmarkinga, kako u slučaju usavršavanja proizvoda, usluga i procesa, tako i kod projektovanog razvoja. Poslovni subjekt treba, prema autoru Piteru Drakeru (Piter Drucker), da se u određenim intervalima kritički osvrne na rezultate postignute u poslovnoj izvrsnosti. Benčmarking omoguća- va poslovnim subjektima da sagledaju svoju tržišnu poziciju i na bazi učenja, prevashodno od tržišnih lidera, unaprede svoju konkurentsku prednost.
Nepostojanje modela za brzu ocenu poslovne izvrsnosti zasnovanog na kvantifikovanim atributima koji je determinišu otežava prethodno utvrđivanje stanja konkurentske prednosti. Kreirani model (CB MODEL) za ocenu atributa benčmarkinga koji determinišu poslovnu izvrsnost poslovnog subjekta u sadašnjosti i u budućnosti i edukacija s provedena na bazi utvrđene ocene znače aktueli- zaciju novih znanja, koja neutrališu uočene probleme i omogućuju top-menadžmentu poslovnog subjekta donošenje brze i efikasne odluke koja povećava verovatnoću njegovog opstanka, razvoja i rasta.

Full textAbstract:
This bachelor thesis discusses the concept of genre and the comic Gothic. It is an attempt to demonstrate the conflicts rooted in "genre" by discussing several scholars, such as Alistair Fowler and Mattias Fyhr with their works Kinds of Literature and De mörka labyrinterna respectively, and then problematise the "Gothic" as a genre and as a concept. Thus Avril Horner’s and Sue Zlosnik’s work Gothic and the Comic Turn is consulted through the discussion. The questions I ask are the following: What is a literary genre? How is the comic Gothic described by the researchers, and how does comic Gothic work in A. Lee Martinez’ novel Gil’s All Fright Diner (2005)? How can one use these questions in the classroom? The used methods in the thesis are genre analysis and close reading. I conclude that genre is a way to understand the relationship between a literary work and various conventions, such as environment and its contemporaries. Genre is also a tool for the reader to understand the traditions, history and other works the read text is related to. The comic inside the Gothic may appear and is as natural to the genre as horror and terror, since the Gothic is always close to self-parody. This can even be observed in the first Gothic novel, Horace Walpole’s Castle of Otranto (1764). Furthermore, Gil’s All Fright Diner uses both the repertoire of classic Gothic and Horner’s and Zlosnik’s findings of the comic turn in the Gothic. Finally, the question regarding the definition of literary genre can be used in the classroom to widen students’ views on both genre itself and the prose they read. The comic Gothic can be used as an example on how genre can appear in different modes. Gil’s All Fright Diner is a thankful text for classroom readings due to its comic and gothic nature, and its contemporary language, themes and styles can make it relatable to students. There is therefore a potential in the concept of genre and the comic Gothic as subjects of discussion in the classroom.

Full textAbstract:
Vave is generally defined as a corpus of agricultural songs as they are sung and performed by Bajuni farmers - an ethnic subgroup of the Swahili - on the eve of burning the bush, a stage of slash and burn cultivation. Although the song’s main theme is agriculture and each cultivation step in particular is given attention, an analysis of the aesthetics of Vave from the viewpoint of oral literature unearths the secret and sacred dimension of Vave performance. Death, bereavement, resurrection, and spirituality are, besides agricultural cultivation, the basic aspects of the Vave. Indeed the Vave performance may be more correctly recognised as an ancient religious
rite which has ancestral worship as a central issue. Although the worship of ancestors is irreconcilable with the Islamic belief system, Vave is still performed by the Muslim Bajuni farmers today. This essay attempts to outline in which way the ancestors are annually remembered, revived or actualised in the present by Bajuni farmers through the performance of an oral tradition.

Full textAbstract:
Työ tehtiin osana Espoon ja Pohjois-Suomen turvapuistojen realistisen vaikuttavuuden arvioinnin projektia, jonka rahoittajana Työsuojelurahasto toimi. Työn tavoitteena oli saada tietoa koti- ja vapaa-ajan turvallisuudesta, koti- ja vapaa-ajan tapaturmien tilastoinnista, miten koti- ja vapaa-ajan tapaturmia tulisi ehkäistä ja olisiko koti- ja vapaa-ajan rasti (esittelypiste) turvapuistoon sopiva ja millainen sen tulisi olla.
Tutkimukseen kuuluu kirjallisuuskatsaus, projektin yleishaastattelut, diplomityön omat yrityshaastattelut (n = 5) sekä kysely (n = 44). Yleishaastattelut suorittivat Työterveyslaitoksen, Ramboll Finland Oy:n, Pohjois-Suomen Turvapuiston sekä Oulun yliopiston edustajat. Kyselyn sekä yrityshaastattelut suoritti diplomityön tekijä. Yrityshaastatteluihin osallistui kemian-, energia- ja metalliteollisuuden yritykset sekä työterveys- ja kiinteistöalanyritykset. Kirjallisuuskatsauksessa esitellään koti- ja vapaa-ajan tapaturmia, niiden määrää ja syntymekanismeja, niihin vaikuttavia tekijöitä, niiden kustannuksia, ehkäisyä sekä muita vastaavia tutkimuksia niin Suomessa kuin muualla maailmassa. Haastatteluilla kartoitettiin koti- ja vapaa-ajan tapaturmien tilastoinnin yleisyyttä, asenteita, toimia koti- ja vapaa-ajan tapaturmien vähentämiseksi, tapaturmien tiedon kulkua, eroa koti- ja vapaa-ajan sekä työssä käyttäytymisen välillä sekä tietoa siitä, minkälainen rasti turvapuistoon olisi tarpeellinen.
Suomessa, tutkimuksesta riippuen, koti- ja vapaa-ajan tapaturmat vastaavat 60–70 % kaikista tapaturmista ja ovat merkittävä kustannuserä niin yrityksille, yhteiskunnalle kuin yksilöille itselleen. Kyselyn tapaturmista kaikki olivat koti- ja vapaa-ajan tapaturmia. Haastatteluissa ja kyselyssä selvisi vastaajien mielipiteen olevan, että työntekijä itse voi parhaiten ehkäistä ja vaikuttaa koti- ja vapaa-ajan tapaturmien syntyyn. Lisäksi haastatteluissa selvisi, että ihmiset käyttäytyvät töissä ja kotona eri tavalla. Kotona henkilösuojaimia ja muita suojavarusteita käytetään vähemmän ja työtavat voivat olla riskialttiimpia. Yritykset tekevät töitä koti- ja vapaa-ajan turvallisuuden parantamiseksi muun muassa lainaamalla henkilösuojaimia ja turvallisuusvarusteita, kouluttamalla henkilöstöä sekä antamalla liukuesteitä ja pyörien talvirenkaita yrityksen henkilöstölle.
Liikenne, varsinkin työmatkat, koettiin riskialttiimmaksi kuin työ, koti tai vapaa-aika. Kurssit, koulutukset ja informaatio koettiin vaikuttaneen positiivisesti käyttäytymiseen ja ne koettiin parhaiksi keinoiksi vaikuttaa koti- ja vapaa-ajan turvallisuuteen, mutta myös henkilösuojainten ja turvallisuusvarusteiden lainaamisen mahdollisuus koettiin tärkeäksi.
Turvapuiston koti- ja vapaa-ajan turvallisuuteen liittyvä rasti koettiin niin haastatteluissa kuin kyselyssä hyväksi lisäksi turvapuistoon. Sen sisällöksi toivottiin yleisimpien tapaturmien esittämistä, mieluiten oikeasta elämästä otetuilla esimerkeillä, ja niiden torjunnan mahdollisuuksia. Suoja- ja turvallisuusvarusteiden käytön esittämistä kotona ja vapaa-ajalla, tilastoja tapaturmista ja niiden kustannuksista sekä sähkötöiden ja liikunnan turvallisuuden mahdollisuuksien esittämistä toivottiin myös rastille.

Full textAbstract:
Vave is generally defined as a corpus of agricultural songs as they are sung and performed by Bajuni farmers - an ethnic subgroup of the Swahili - on the eve of burning the bush, a stage of slash and burn cultivation. Although the song’s main theme is agriculture and each cultivation step in particular is given attention, an analysis of the aesthetics of Vave from the viewpoint of oral literature unearths the secret and sacred dimension of Vave performance. Death, bereavement, resurrection, and spirituality are, besides agricultural cultivation, the basic aspects of the Vave. Indeed the Vave performance may be more correctly recognised as an ancient religious
rite which has ancestral worship as a central issue. Although the worship of ancestors is irreconcilable with the Islamic belief system, Vave is still performed by the Muslim Bajuni farmers today. This essay attempts to outline in which way the ancestors are annually remembered, revived or actualised in the present by Bajuni farmers through the performance of an oral tradition.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliography.This thesis attempts to quantify the impact of kombi-taxis on the conventional modes of public transport, in particular the bus, in the Cape Town Metropolitan Area. The impact is quantified in terms of the resultant modal shift of commuters from the buses, trains, cars and walking, in favour of the kombi-taxi. The approach adopted involved a study of the kombi-taxi and bus operations and characteristics on the different kombi-taxi routes in the study area. Five representative routes were selected for a detailed study, involving an Observation survey and an Interview survey directed at the bus and kombi-taxi users on these routes. On a further 66 routes, a bus-taxi modal split survey was conducted. The findings of the study show• that the majority of present kombi-taxi users are former bus users. Conservatively, an estimated 30.6% of all the daily bus passenger trips have been lost to the kombi-taxi. The effect on trains has not been insignificant with an estimated 4.4% of all commuter train trips having been converted to kombi-taxi trips.

Full textAbstract:
Laminitis (commonly called founder) is the second most frequent reason to euthanize the horse after colic. It is a general system disease, which has many causes and risk factor and leads to significant changes in the anatomy of the hoof. If the horse fall sick, therapy is not always without aftereffects. A major part of horses affected by laminitis remain disabled and eventually must be euthanized. Experts believe that obesity is one of the risk factor for laminitis.
Body condition is the actual nutritional status of the horse. Body condition may change during the life and it is mainly influenceable by way of breeding and management.
This theses was tasked to compare the body condition of laminitic horses with healthy horses and find out whether laminitis is a potential risk for healthy horses. In theses are information about 63 horses, 31 horses with laminitis and 32 healthy horses. The results showed that 60,32 % horses (38/63) are designated as fat or obese (BCS 3,5 to 5), 20 horses with laminitis and 18 healthy horses. In ideal body condition (BCS 2,5 to 3) is 33,33 % (21/63), 8 horses with laminitis and 13 healthy horse. In bad body condition (BCS 0 to 2) is 6,35 % horses.
From these results we can estimate that majority of horses (56,25 % healthy horses) is unnecessarily overfed, horses have not adequate exercise, they are in higher body condition. In these horses is higher probability for inception of laminitis.
The statistical result showed that a group of horses with laminitis and a group of healthy horse are similar in BCS values. However both groups are different from the ideal BCS. Their BCS value (3,39) is higher than optimal (BCS 3).
From this results we can conclude that obese horse does not always suffer from laminitis and also the horse in ideal body condition can fall sick with laminitis. Higher risk for laminitis is a horse overfeeding intensive spring grazing or excessive amount of concentrated feed than the nutritional status of the horse.
