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

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,

Lihamieliliemi -musiikkivideo ja sen erikoistehosteet
No full textOpinnäytetyön aiheena on Lihamielilemi -kappaleen musiikkivideon tekemisen eri vaiheet. Suurin osa käsittelee kuitenkin jälkityöstövaihetta, jossa digitaalisten erikoistehosteiden luomisella on suuri merkitys lopputulokseen. Musiikkikappaleen sävellyksessä ja musiikkivideon suunnittelussa ei ole käytetty ulkopuolisia tekijöitä. Tarkoituksena oli tehdä sellainen musiikkivideo, jonka jälki on mahdollisimman ammattimaista. Vaikka musiikkikappale ei ole ulkopuolisen bändin tekemä, tarkoituksena on kuitenkin tehdä kuten ulkopuoliselle asiakkaalle tekisi.
Opinnäytetyössä käydään läpi kronologisessa järjestyksessä projektin eri vaiheet alkutuotannosta jälkityöstöön. Lähteinä käytetään alan kirjallisuutta ja projektin eri vaiheissa käytettyjen ohjelmien manuaaleja. Musiikkivideota ei ole vielä julkaistu tämän opinnäytetyöraportin palauttamiseen mennessä, koska digitaalisten erikoistehosteiden tekeminen on hyvin hidasta, jos haluaa lopputuloksesta mahdollisimman hyvän näköisen. Projekti on kuitenkin tässä vaiheessa ollut sellaisessa kunnossa että siitä pystyy hyvin käsittelemään sen eri vaiheita.The theme of the thesis is making a music video of Lihamieliliemi -song and all the stages required. Most of the thesis is about the post-production, in which the digital special effects have a great impact to the final product. This music video has been composed and designed by the author of the thesis. The intention was to make a music video that looks as professional as possible. Although the song is not by an external band, it is intended to be made for the real client.
The thesis goes though the project in a chronological order from pre- to postproduction. Professional literature and manuals of the equipment are being used as source material of this thesis. The music video hasn't been released on the completion of the thesis, because making of digital special effects is time consuming project if done thoroughly. However, the project is at the stage that it is very capable to deal with its various phases.Opinnäytetyössä käsiteltävä musiikkivideo ei opinnäytetyöraportin palauttamisen aikoihin ollut vielä valmiina. Musiikkivideon valmistuttua sen on tarkoitus olla nähtävillä YouTube -videopalvelussa
