Ikonen, Tuomas & Kukila, Jarkko. 2015. Teknistä työtä opettavien naisten kokemuksia ja käsityksiä käsityön sukupuolittuneisuudesta ja stereotypioista. Kasvatustieteen pro-gradu -tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Opettajankoulutuslaitos.
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa käsityön sukupuolittuneisuutta ja stereotypioita teknistä työtä opettavien naisopettajien kokemusten ja käsitysten kautta. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, kohtaavatko naisopettajat sukupuolistereotypioita ja ennakkoluuloja työssään tai työtä hakiessaan, millaisia nämä stereotypiat ja ennakkoluulot ovat ja miten ne ilmenevät. Aiheen tutkiminen antaa tärkeää tietoa yhteiskunnan sukupuolittuneista rakenteista ja niitä ylläpitävistä tekijöistä.
Tutkimus on luonteeltaan laadullinen. Aineistonkeruumenetelmänä käytettiin teemahaastattelua. Tutkittaviksi valittiin kaksitoista teknistä työtä peruskoulussa opettavaa naisopettajaa. Tutkimuksen analyysimenetelmäksi valittiin teoriasidonnainen sisällönanalyysi. Aineiston analyysissä aineisto litteroitiin kirjalliseen muotoon, jonka jälkeen se teemoiteltiin ja näihin teemoihin muodostettiin teoriaan sopivia alakategorioita, joihin tutkittavien vastaukset jaoteltiin.
Teknisen työn naisopettajat kokivat omana peruskouluaikanaan käsityön valinnan tapahtuvan itsestään selvästi sukupuolen mukaan. He tunnistivat teknisen työn laajalti miehiseksi alaksi. Käsityötä pidettiin edelleen jokseenkin sukupuolittuneena oppiaineena ja käsityön valinnan pakollisuuden katsottiin pitävän yllä tätä sukupuolittuneisuutta. Tutkittavat tunnistivat vain vähän sukupuoleensa kohdistuneita sukupuolistereotypioita ja ennakkoluuloja. Kouluhenkilöstön taholta näitä negatiivisia asenteita ei ilmennyt, mutta oppilaiden ja koulun ulkopuolisten tahojen osalta hieman enemmän. Negatiiviset stereotypiat liittyivät naisten ammattitaidon kyseenalaistamiseen teknisessä työssä. Suurin osa tutkittavista tunnisti työnhaun tilanteista jonkinlaisia sukupuolistereotypioita, mutta vain pienellä osalla heistä ne miellettiin negatiivisiksi. Tutkittavat pitivät teknisen työn ja naiseuden yhdistelmää työnhaun kannalta positiivisena asiana ja kokivat sukupuolistereotyyppisten asenteiden kuuluvan menneisyyteen. Tutkimustulokset paljastavat, että sukupuolistereotypioita esiintyy käsityössä vielä jonkin verran, mutta vähemmän kuin tutkittavien omina peruskouluaikoina.unknown accessibilityei tietoa saavutettavuudest
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Investment and stock returns: Evidence from the Finnish stock market
No full textPURPOSE OF THE STUDY:
The purpose of this study is to discuss the past research on investment anomaly and explore whether the investment anomaly exists in the Helsinki Stock Exchange. In addition, this study tests the common stock return drivers, i.e. beta, size, book to market and momentum, in the Helsinki Stock Exchange. Furthermore, this paper presents an overview on the stock return predictability literature in general focusing on the most widely investigated determinants of stock returns.
DATA:
The sample data includes quarterly accounting and stock price data for companies listed in the Helsinki Stock Exchange between March 2003 and December 2013. Only companies with investment data are included in the sample. Furthermore, all financial companies are excluded from the study. The applied accounting and stock market data is collected from Thomson Financial database.
RESULTS:
The results show statistically significant negative relation between one of the studied measures of investment and subsequent stock returns. Thus the study provides evidence that the investment anomaly does exist in the Helsinki Stock Exchange. Furthermore, the generally applied controlling variables do not seem to perform strongly in the Helsinki Stock Exchange, producing however similar effects as shown in previous literature
