Welfare and the Great Recession surveys and analyses welfare consequences in the period following the financial crisis in Europe. It investigates how the burdens of the recession were shared between countries, between different socio-economic groups across Europe, and within individual countries, and offers new evidence that demonstrates the importance of the welfare state and government policies in sheltering populations from serious economic contraction.The first comprehensive study of the Great Recession in Europe that focuses on household level welfare consequences, this edited volume relates financial hardship to institutional characteristics such as welfare regimes, currency regimes, socio-political patterns, affluence levels, public debt, and policy reactions to periods of crisis. It takes into account stimulus versus austerity, the degree of social protection emphasis, the commitment to redistribution, and the significance of activism. Widely comparative, Welfare and the Great Recession combines comparisons of thirty countries with an in-depth study of nine country cases to offer various lessons from the crisis experience in Europe and reflect on welfare futures in a globalized crisis-prone environment.

En journalist gör intervjuer i en rad olika sammanhang. Ibland till en snabb nyhetsartikel som ska ut på sajten direkt, andra gånger till ett reportage som ska publiceras eller sändas längre fram i tiden. Under intervjun är det mycket att hålla reda på och det är lätt att tappa tråden. Journalisten ska leda intervjun, tänka på vinkeln, ställa följdfrågor, anteckna eller spela in, och också möta olika slags intervjupersoner. Målet är att få relevanta och bra svar som går att använda, men det är inte alltid lätt att lyckas.
I boken ”Öppna frågor – en guide till bättre svar” delar journalisterna Olli Seuri och Andreas Mattsson med sig av sina och andra journalisters erfarenheter och ger läsaren en förståelse för grunderna i konsten att intervjua genom att tillämpa ett helhetstänk som inkluderar så mycket mer än frågorna som ska ställas. Detta går att använda oavsett om intervjuerna ska användas till en artikel, direktsändas eller spelas in. Författarna ger konkreta tips inför, under och efter en intervju, och lyfter även in den journalistiska intervjun i ett historiskt och samhälleligt sammanhang.
Öppna frågor är en bearbetning till svenska av den finländska boken Avoin kysymys – haastattelun käsikirja av Olli Seuri, utgiven 2020 av Vastapaino förlag. Den svenska boken har omarbetats och utökats i samarbete mellan de båda författarna Olli Seuri och Andreas Mattsson.
Olli Seuri är fil. dr i samhällsvetenskap och journalist vid Finlands public service-bolag Yle samt medieforskare vid Tammerfors universitet. Han har bland annat fått Stora Journalistpriset i Finland 2017 och har tidigare undervisat vid Fakulteten för informationsteknik och kommunikation vid Tammerfors universitet.
Andreas Mattsson är universitetsadjunkt och programansvarig för Journalistutbildningen vid Lunds universitet samt doktorand vid Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Helsingfors universitet. Han har tidigare arbetat som journalist på olika redaktioner i Sverige samt som frilansjournalist.

The Red Queen Retail Race: An Innovation Pandemic in the Era of Digitization, considers how innovation through technological change has been transforming the retail sector in different markets, and how such change has been accelerated through the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The book is inspired by Alice's encounters of the Red Queen's race in the classic novel Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll (1871), where 'it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place'. This metaphor is illustrative for the service sector that is in a transition from 'a slow world' towards a Red Queen race, where running faster is not enough by itself. It is changing how a consumer society operates, replacing investment in the physical confines of products, stores, and geographical areas, with investment in the apparently unbounded digital universe of information, relationships, and social networks. Online and mobile services enable new entrants to bypass investments in fixed assets and avoid regulatory issues by employing new business models. By leveraging such advantages, technologically-driven international competition has created substantial challenges for established retailers and service providers in domestic markets across the globe. The result is a reconsideration of the role of place in a digital world.

This collection of previously unpublished essays on Spinoza provides a representative sample of new and interesting research on the philosopher. Spinoza's philosophy still has an underserved reputation for being obscure and incomprehensible. In these chapters, Spinoza is seen mostly as a metaphysician who tried to pave the way for the new science. The essays investigate several themes, notably Spinoza's monism, the nature of the individual, the relation between mind and body, and his place in 17th century philosophy including his relation to Descartes and Leibniz. The top scholars working on Spinoza today are all represented, including John Carriero, Michael Della Rocca, and Don Garrett.

This is a study of the struggle for power between two totalitarian dictatorships in the north of Europe and the battle for survival of a small nation caught between them. In the Winter War of 1939-1940, Finland successfully fought off a Soviet invasion. Then, with none to turn to but Germany, it became the only democratic state on the Axis side. Ultimately, it succeeded in extricating itself from the war and, despite the shadow of Russia looming over it, averted a communist takeover.

This book highlights the recent re-emergence of Edward Westermarck's work in modern approaches to morality and altruism, examining his importance as one of the founding fathers of anthropology and as a moral relativist, who identified our moral feelings with biologically-evolved retributive emotions.Questioning the extent to which current debates on the relationship between biology and morality are similar to those in which Westermarck himself was involved, the authors ask what can be learnt from his arguments and from the criticism that he encountered. Drawing on Westermarck's manuscripts and papers as well as his published work, the authors show the importance of situating debates, whether modern or classical, in their correct methodological and philosophical context.This volume is a rigorous assessment of the ways in which morality is connected with human biological nature. It plays close attention to the development of debates in this field and will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology and philosophy.

The purpose of this book is to present modern developments and applications of the techniques of modulus or extremal length of path families in the study of m- n pings in R , n? 2, and in metric spaces. The modulus method was initiated by Lars Ahlfors and Arne Beurling to study conformal mappings. Later this method was extended and enhanced by several other authors. The techniques are geom- ric and have turned out to be an indispensable tool in the study of quasiconformal and quasiregular mappings as well as their generalizations. The book is based on rather recent research papers and extends the modulus method beyond the classical applications of the modulus techniques presented in many monographs. Helsinki O.

The twentieth century has been one of great international conflict, but also one of increasing globalization and cooperation among nations. The history of international mathematical cooperation over the last hundred years--from the first international congress in 1897 to plans for the World Mathematical Year 2000--as told by Professor Olli Lehto, is a surprisingly compelling story. For reflected in the history of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) is all the strife among world powers, as well as aspirations for cooperation among nations in an increasingly interdependent world. The IMU, founded in the aftermath of World War I, for fifteen years excluded Germany and the other defeated Central Powers. But in the 1920s the IMU embraced principles of political neutrality, inviting every national mathematical organization to join the IMU, and this principle of nondiscrimination, while sometimes sorely tried, has held the IMU in good stead. Then came the Second World War, and again international cooperation was threatened.After World War II, a number of issues--the Cold War, the conflict between the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, a divided Germany, problems in the emerging nations of Africa--at times led to attempts to influence the IMU Executive Committee in its decisions regarding membership, location of international congresses, committee assignments, handling of protests, and awarding the coveted Fields Medals. Throughout the tumultuous past half century the IMU has sponsored International Congresses throughout the world, and Mathematics Without Borders will fill you in on all the mathematical and organizational details. But what keeps you turning pages is the very human story of individuals, among them many of the great mathematicians of our

Substantial new breakthroughs are going on in telecommunications technology. The introduction of cellular radio networks and mobility is probably the most influential one in the next few years. The broadband transmission and switching technology is also maturing and will provide a cost effective platform for service provision. Interactive business and consumer services based on video and multimedia will become possible, after the broadband customer access is in the market. Common to all these developments will be the computer controlled structure of modern telecommunications, where protocols, application technology and resource management are key factors. This book contains the papers presented in the Workshop on Intelligent Networks, sponsored by IFIP Technical Committee 6 (Communication Systems). The Workshop was organized as part of the Third Summer School on Telecommunications at the Lappeenranta University of Technology, Lappeenranta, Finland on August 8 - 9, 1994. The call for papers was the first in the short history of the Summer School, yet we were able to select 20 high quality papers out of the submitted contributions.One can distinguish three main streams in the topics of the papers, reflecting the trends mentioned above: service creation and management platforms, use of software tools and methods for the IN specification, analysis and database design, and mobility and broadband aspects of future intelligent networks.

Efficient and equitable water, wastewater and stormwater management for the megacities is becoming an increasingly complex task. The special issue will focus on water management in its totality for megacities, including their technical, social, economic, legal, institutional and environmental dimensions through a series of specially invited case studies from different megacities of the world.At present, around one out of two of the earth’s 6.3 billion people live in urban areas. Each year, the world population grows by around 80 millions. Practically all of this growth is urban, primarily due to migration. World’s urban population is expected to reach 5 billion by 2030, which is nearly 2/3rd more than in 2000, and would mean that 60% of world’s population will live in urban areas.The case studies analysed include some of the most interesting and challenging megacities of this planet, Dhaka, Istanbul, Jakarta, Johannesburg, México City, Riyadh and São Paulo. They assess different aspects of how water is intermingled in the overall development milleau. The special issue will considers the magnitudes, nature and extent of the present and future challenges and how these could be meet in socially acceptable and cost-effective ways. The contributors are all acknowledged water experts from different parts of the world. This book was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resource s Development.

Examining the water, development and security linkages in Central Asia can feel a bit like solving a Rubik’s cube. The Rubik’s cube starts to usually find structure and the different pieces find their places when its solver adopts a systematic approach. Still, solving the whole cube takes time and perseverance. This is also the case with water and security in Central Asia as demonstrated by the chapters in this book. In the case of water and security in Central Asia, there are many "faces", including not only the Central Asian states but also the neighbouring countries and other players of global geopolitics; "stickers" such as policies, practices, causes, and impacts; and "colours" such as the different stakeholders, ranging from the micro and meso levels to the macro level. Understanding all these, or getting clarity on the nexus, can seem extremely challenging. Even though none of the chapters alone answers the question of what constitutes water and security in Central Asia, each of them gives thoughtful ideas and information on the complexity of the issue.This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development.

Since its publication in 1677, Spinoza's Ethics has fascinated philosophers, novelists, and scientists alike. It is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and contested works of Western philosophy. Written in an austere, geometrical fashion, the work teaches us how we should live, ending with an ethics in which the only thing good in itself is understanding. Spinoza argues that only that which hinders us from understanding is bad and shows that those endowed with a human mind should devote themselves, as much as they can, to a contemplative life. This Companion volume provides a detailed, accessible exposition of the Ethics. Written by an internationally known team of scholars, it is the first anthology to treat the whole of the Ethics and is written in an accessible style.

The growth of telecommunications has been largely based on mobile and data services in the past 10 years and this growth will continue. For instance, it is forecasted that after 2005, the mobile traffic turnover in Europe will exceed that of fixed telephone traffic, and the penetration of Internet access through mobile will exceed that of fixed access. It is expected that new value-added services will be Internet-based and that IP traffic will outweigh the amount of traditional ISDN based telephone traffic. The transition from existing telecommunications services to mobile and Internet-based services will change the service infrastructure as well as the customer and service management structures. This volume comprises the proceedings of the Working Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (PWC'2001), which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and organized by IFIP Working Group 6.8. It was held in Lappeenranta, Finland in August 2001. The PWC'2001 conference is a forum for tutorials, discussions and presentations of developments in mobile and wireless research.The contributions to this volume have been divided into six categories that vary from voice over IP implementations to quality of service issues; from service aspects to performance and modelling issues; and from modern cellular networks to future wireless systems. This volume should be useful reading for IT students and researchers as well as for theoreticians interested in the current state of the telecommunication systems.

After the postmodern turn, every tradition seeks the right to have their own rules of rational discourse. The crucial question is: are there ways to communicate between the traditions so that the traditions do not need to give up their identities in order to take part in conversation? Vainio examines the basic assumptions behind well known types of Christian theology and seeks ways in which they might interact with one other and with other non-Christian traditions without capitulation of their identities. Vainio claims that there are religious identities that can be negotiated and communicated, and that there are ecclesiastical doctrines which can be meaningfully discussed among churches. This book explores three key areas: analysis of the uses of 'fideism' within classical Christian theology; clarification of different types of theological method that seek to express the task of theology in contemporary setting; an explanation of the contours of religious identity and rationality which takes seriously both classical Christian identity and pluralistic contexts where most of the Christian communities dwell nowadays. The proposal for "negotiability" of Christian identity draws together ideas from, among others, virtue epistemology, reformed epistemology, communitarianism, and feminist sensibilities.

Comics and human mobility have a long history of connections. This volume explores these entanglements with a focus on both how comics represent migration and what applied uses comics have in relation to migration. The volume examines both individual works of comic art and examples of practical applications of comics from across the world.Comics are well-suited to create understanding, highlight truthful information, and engender empathy in their audiences, but are also an art form that is preconditioned or even limited by its representational and practical conventions. Through analyses of various practices and representations, this book questions the uncritical belief in the capacity of comics, assesses their potential to represent stories of exile and immigration with compassion, and discusses how xenophobia and nationalism are both reinforced and questioned in comics. The book includes essays by both researchers and practitioners such as activists and journalists whose work has combined a focus on comics and migration. It predominantly scrutinises comics and activities from more peripheral areas such as the Nordic region, the German-language countries, Latin America, and southern Asia to analyse the treatment and visual representation of migration in these regions.This topical and engaging volume in the Global Perspectives in Comics Studies series will be of interest to researchers and students of comics studies, literary studies, visual art studies, cultural studies, migration, and sociology. It will also be useful reading for a wider academic audience interested in discourses around global migration and comics traditions.
