The Contributions of Professor Amartya Sen in the Field of Human Rights
No full textThis paper analyses the work of the Nobel Prize winning economist Professor Amartya Sen from the perspective of human rights. It assesses the ways in which Sen's research agenda has deepened and expanded human rights discourse in the disciplines of ethics and economics, and examines how his work has promoted cross-fertilisation and integration on this subject across traditional disciplinary divides. The paper suggests that Sen's development of a 'scholarly bridge' between human rights and economics is an important and innovative contribution that has methodological as well as substantive importance and that provides a prototype and stimuli for future research. It also establishes that the idea of fundamental freedoms and human rights is itself an important gateway into understanding the nature, scope and significance of Sen's research. The paper concludes with a brief assessment of the challenges to be addressed in taking Sen's contributions in the field of human rights forward.Amartya Sen, human rights, poverty, freedom, obligation, capability approach, meta-rights, entitlements, opportunity freedom, liberty-rights

PENG-ANALYYSI ALUETIETOJÄRJESTELMÄN NETTOHYÖTYVAIKUTUKSISTA : Pyörteen jatkotutkimushanke: kuvantaminen Hyvinkään sairaanhoitoalueella
No full textHyvinkään sairaanhoitoalueella toteutettiin vuosina 2002 – 2005 laaja Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulun ja julkisen terveydenhuollon seudullinen kehittämishanke. Peng-analyysi aluetietojärjestelmän nettohyötyvaikutuksista tehtiin tämän hankkeen pohjalta. Peng-analyysin tavoitteena oli selvittää edellä mainitussa hankkeessa mukana olleiden kuntien suunnitteleman tietotekniikkainvestoinnin kustannusvaikuttavuutta, tarkemmin sanottuna alueellisen tietojärjestelmän kustannusvaikutusta.
Peng on tietotekniikkainvestointien kustannusvaikuttavuuden arviointiin kehitetty menetelmä. Sen erilaisia käyttötapoja ovat esim. suunnitellun investoinnin kannattavuuden arviointi, vaihtoehtoisten investointien vertailu, suunnitellun investoinnin nettohyödyn lisääminen, vanhan investoinnin hyötyjen arviointi tai mahdollisesti lisähyötymahdollisuuksien selvittäminen.
Peng-analyysillä saatiin osoitettua aluetietojärjestelmästä aiheutuvat suorat, epäsuorat ja vaikeasti arvotettavat hyödyt. Suoritetun analyysin tulosta voidaan arvioida merkittäväksi. Merkittävyyttä lisää vielä se, että Peng-analyysia käytettiin nyt ensimmäistä kertaa Suomessa. Lisäksi analyysi toteutettiin kansallisesti tärkeässä vaiheessa, kun pohditaan koko Suomen kattavaa potilashakemistoa
OVERCOMING POSITIVISM IN ECONOMICS: AMARTYA SEN'S PROJECT OF INFUSING ETHICS INTO ECONOMICS
No full textLogical Positivism, which arose in philosophy early in the twentieth century, proclaimed the sharp distinction between facts and values. Despite objections at the time, positivism was imported into economics in the 1930s. Over time, objections lessened; economics was transformed and ethical considerations were driven out of its core. In the 1950s, debates about positivism arose within the discipline which had exported it. According to the American philosopher Hilary Putnam, the fact/value distinction is now discredited in philosophy. If that is so, the methodological foundations of contemporary economics are also discredited. In this article I examine Amartya Sen’s moral science of economics. First, I will present his historical account of the connections between economics and ethics. Sen claims that there was a close connection between the two until positivism was imported. Second, I will sketch some of Sen’s ethical objections to modern economics, which is still suffering from positivism. Finally, I will lay out some of his ideas on how economics can be returned to an ethical path. Once the ground has been cleared of positivism, ethics can re-emerge in economics in various ways. One path has been marked out by Sen.Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession,

Spatial and Temporal Evolution of Ground Subsidence in the Beijing Plain Area Using Long Time Series Interferometry
No full textDue to the overexploitation of water resources, ground subsidence is becoming increasingly problematic in Beijing, China's political, economic, and cultural capital. This article aims to investigate the relationship between ground subsidence and changes in groundwater depth, and water supply from a long-term point of view. Multisource synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data using the interferometric SAR (InSAR) technique were adopted in this research, combined with a set of leveling and ground subsidence data in the Beijing Plain area from 2003 to 2020. The InSAR results demonstrate that ground subsidence in the plain area increased steadily from 2003 to 2015, expanding from sporadic to continuous laminar dispersion and producing five major subsidence centers. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP) that was completed in 2008 and 2015 considerably reduced the demand for groundwater supply in the Beijing Plain area. Since then, the groundwater level depth has continued to increase. However, since 2016, the ground subsidence rate has dramatically slowed down. The obtained results showed that, thanks to the SNWDP, which resulted in a decline in groundwater exploitation and an increase in renewable water recycling, the ground subsidence in Beijing's plain area has been effectively managed
