On the podcast today I am joined by socio-cultural anthropologist, Tuomas Tammisto, who is an academy research fellow in Social Anthropology at Tampere University. Tuomas is joining me to talk about his recently published book, Hard Work: Producing Places, Relations and Value on a Papua New Guinea Resource Frontier (Helsinki UP, 2024) Hard Work examines human-environmental relations, value production, natural resource extraction, and state formation within the context of the Mengen people of Papua New Guinea. It provides elaborate, rich ethnography to make sense of how the Mengen engage with their land and outside actors like companies, NGOs, and the state through agriculture, logging, plantation labor, and environmental conservation. These practices have shaped the Mengen's lived environment, while also sparking debates on what is considered valuable and how value is created. The book is the result of hard work: for years Tuomas Tammisto has gained rich empirical research to detail how indigenous Mengen people perceive and live with the threats of logging. The chapters are not only rich in ethnography and theory, but they are also interlaced with beautiful photos and poetic song lyrics both in the original and translated languages, to provide an eye-opening window into Mengen perceptions of their complex lived environment. The book is Open Access and available to read for free here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Revolutionary €8 Million EU-Funded Project Aims to Restore Vision for Millions with Cutting-Edge Bioprinting Technology to tackle Corneal Blindness A groundbreaking initiative is set to transform the future of vision restoration with the launch of KeratOPrinter, an €8 million EU-funded project pioneering an advanced bioprinting suite capable of producing fully functional, biocompatible, full-thickness human corneas. A Global Solution to Corneal Blindness Corneal blindness is the third leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting millions of people. Yet, due to an alarming shortage of donor tissue, many patients remain unable to access life-changing corneal transplants. The KeratOPrinter project is tackling this urgent healthcare challenge by developing an innovative 3D bioprinting technology that can replicate the complex structure and functionality of the human cornea - bringing hope to millions in need. Why KeratOPrinter is a Game-Changer Bridging the Global Cornea Shortage: By bioprinting full-thickness, optomechanicallyfunctional corneas, this project has the potential to revolutionize the field of ophthalmology, offering an alternative to limited donor tissues. Real-World Clinical Application: The project integrates Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-compliant workflows and AI-driven quality control mechanisms to ensure consistency, reliability, and safe clinical translation. Economic and Societal Impact: By delivering a scalable, cost-effective solution to corneal transplantation, KeratOPrinter will lower production costs, improve access to treatment, and enhance the quality of life for millions, particularly in vulnerable populations. A European Collaboration Driving Innovation The KeratOPrinter project brings together a powerhouse consortium of nine partners from five EU countries - Finland, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and Ireland. This multidisciplinary collaboration includes leading research institutes, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and industry specialists in stem cell differentiation, biomaterials, bioprinter devices, regulatory affairs, and clinical ophthalmology. The project also features state-of-the-art transport solutions, including portable incubators with active CO? and temperature control, ensuring the safe delivery of living cells and biological samples under optimal conditions. Expert Insights: A Visionary Approach to Bioprinting Professor Heli Skottman, KeratOPrinter coordinator from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology at Tampere University, Finland, highlights the significance of this initiative: "The KeratOPrinter project has strategically assembled a world-class consortium to develop an innovative bioprinting technology capable of producing standardized, biocompatible, and hypoimmunogenic full-thickness corneas in a scalable, GMP-compliant manner." She further adds: "Corneal blindness is driven by a wide spectrum of ophthalmic conditions requiring corneal transplants. However, the severe global shortage of donor tissue is a major barrier to effective treatment. The KeratOPrinter project presents a revolutionary solution, using cutting-edge technology to address this critical medical challenge." A Bold Step Towards Restoring Vision By harnessing the power of advanced bioprinting technology, the KeratOPrinter project is set to redefine corneal transplantation, making vision-restoring therapy more accessible, efficient, and sustainable. With its transformative impact on ophthalmology, this project marks a new era in regenerative medicine.

Yasushi SUKO is a doctoral student at the Faculty of Social Sciences/Psychology, Tampere University, Finland. He studies the effects of nature experience on people, especially the restorative effect of repeatedly listening to natural sounds (e.g., birdsong, the sound of a running river, etc.). He is currently a member of the EnviWell Research Group, directed by Professor Kalevi Korpela. In this episode we deep-dive into the acoustic stimuli and elaborate on the various potentials listening to specific sounds can have for health promotion, restoration and wellbeing. The roles of nature sounds are discussed and practical applications both for clinical and non-clinical contexts are investigated. Time Stamps and Related References/Projects: PART II: 04:40 Y.

All over the world, people disappear from their families, communities and the state's bureaucratic gaze, as victims of oppressive regimes or while migrating along clandestine routes. An Anthropology of Disappearance: Politics, Intimacies and Alternative Ways of Knowing (Berghahn Books, 2023) brings together scholars who engage ethnographically with such disappearances in various cultural, social and political contexts. This volume takes an anthropological perspective on questions about human life and death, absence and presence, rituals and mourning, liminality and structures, citizenship and personhood as well as agency and power. The chapters explore the political dimension of disappearances and address methodological, epistemological and ethical challenges of researching disappearances and the disappeared. The combination of disappearance through political violence, crime, voluntary disappearance and migration makes this book a unique combination. Laura Huttunen is Professor of Social Anthropology at the Tampere University, Finland. In 2013-14 she ran a project that focused on the question of missing and disappeared persons in Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 2018-2022 she led a research project with a focus on disappearances in migratory contexts. Gerhild Perl is Assistant Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Trier, Germany. Her work has been published in journals such as the Journal of Social and Cultural Anthropology and the Journal of Intercultural Studies. Her doctoral dissertation on death during migration across the Spanish-Moroccan Sea was awarded the Maria Ioannis Baganha Award and the Dissertation Prize of the German Anthropological Association.

Johanna Kujala, Professor of Management and Organization and Vice Dean for Research at Tampere University in Tampere Finland. (Recorded 11/7/23)
Academic Research Researchers Use GPT-4 To Generate Feedback on Scientific Manuscripts https://hai.stanford.edu/news/researchers-use-gpt-4-generate-feedback-scientific-manuscripts https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.01783 Two episodes ago I shared the news that for some major scientific publications, it's okay to write papers with ChatGPT, but not to review them. But… Combining a large language model and open-source peer-reviewed scientific papers, researchers at Stanford built a tool they hope can help other researchers polish and strengthen their drafts. Scientific research has a peer problem. There simply aren't enough qualified peer reviewers to review all the studies. This is a particular challenge for young researchers and those at less well-known institutions who often lack access to experienced mentors who can provide timely feedback. Moreover, many scientific studies get “desk rejected” — summarily denied without peer review. James Zou, and his research colleagues, were able to test using GPT-4 against human reviews 4,800 real Nature + ICLR papers. It found AI reviewers overlap with human ones as much as humans overlap with each other, plus, 57% of authors find them helpful and 83% said it beats at least one of their real human reviewers. Academic Writing with GPT-3.5 (ChatGPT): Reflections on Practices, Efficacy and Transparency https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3616961.3616992 Oz Buruk, from Tampere University in Finland, published a paper giving some really solid advice (and sharing his prompts) for getting ChatGPT to help with academic writing. He uncovered 6 roles: Chunk Stylist Bullet-to-Paragraph Talk Textualizer Research Buddy Polisher Rephraser He includes examples of the results, and the prompts he used for it. Handy for people who want to use ChatGPT to help them with their writing, without having to resort to trickery Considerations for Adapting Higher Education Technology Course for AI Large Language Models: A Critical Review of the Impact of ChatGPT https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/machine-learning-with-applications/articles-in-press This is a journal pre-proof from the Elsevier journal "Machine Learning with Applications", and takes a look at how ChatGPT might impact assessment in higher education. Unfortunately it's an example of how academic publishing can't keep up with the rate of technology change, because the four academics from University of Prince Mugrin who wrote this submitted it on 31 May, and it's been accepted into the Journal in November - and guess what? Almost everything in the paper has changed. They spent 13 of the 24 pages detailing exactly which assessment questions ChatGPT 3 got right or wrong - but when I re-tested it on some sample questions, it got nearly all correct. They then tested AI Detectors - and hey, we both know that's since changed again, with the advice that none work. And finally they checked to see if 15 top universities had AI policies. It's interesting research, but tbh would have been much, much more useful in May than it is now. And that's a warning about some of the research we're seeing. You need to really check carefully about whether the conclusions are still valid - eg if they don't tell you what version of OpenAI's models they've tested, then the conclusions may not be worth much. It's a bit like the logic we apply to students "They've not mastered it…yet" A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis of ChatGPT in the Medical Literature: Concise Review https://www.jmir.org/2023/1/e49368/ They looked at 160 papers published on PubMed in the first 3 months of ChatGPT up to the end of March 2023 - and the paper was written in May 2023, and only just published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. I'm pretty sure that many of the results are out of date - for example, it specifically lists unsuitable uses for ChatGPT including "writing scientific papers with references, composing resumes, or writing speeches", and that's definitely no longer the case. Emerging Research and Policy Themes on Academic Integrity in the Age of Chat GPT and Generative AI https://ajue.uitm.edu.my/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/12-Maria.pdf This paper, from a group of researchers in the Philippines, was written in August. The paper referenced 37 papers, and then looked at the AI policies of the 20 top QS Rankings universities, especially around academic integrity & AI. All of this helped the researchers create a 3E Model - Enforcing academic integrity, Educating faculty and students about the responsible use of AI, and Encouraging the exploration of AI's potential in academia. Can ChatGPT solve a Linguistics Exam? https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2311/2311.02499.pdf If you're keeping track of the exams that ChatGPT can pass, then add to it linguistics exams, as these researchers from the universities of Zurich & Dortmund, came to the conclusion that, yes, chatgpt can pass the exams, and said "Overall, ChatGPT reaches human-level competence and performance without any specific training for the task and has performed similarly to the student cohort of that year on a first-year linguistics exam" (Bonus points for testing its understanding of a text about Luke Skywalker and unmapped galaxies) And, I've left the most important research paper to last: Math Education with Large Language Models: Peril or Promise? https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4641653 Researchers at University of Toronto and Microsoft Research have published a paper that is the first large scale, pre-registered controlled experiment using GPT-4, and that looks at Maths education. It basically studied the use of Large Language Models as personal tutors. In the experiment's learning phase, they gave participants practice problems and manipulated two key factors in a between-participants design: first, whether they were required to attempt a problem before or after seeing the correct answer, and second, whether participants were shown only the answer or were also exposed to an LLM-generated explanation of the answer. Then they test participants on new test questions to assess how well they had learned the underlying concepts. Overall they found that LLM-based explanations positively impacted learning relative to seeing only correct answers. The benefits were largest for those who attempted problems on their own first before consulting LLM explanations, but surprisingly this trend held even for those participants who were exposed to LLM explanations before attempting to solve practice problems on their own. People said they learn more when they were given explanations, and thought the subsequent test was easier They tried it using standard GPT-4 and got a 1-3 standard deviation improvement; and using a customised GPT got a 1 1/2 - 4 standard deviation improvement. In the tests, that was basically the difference between getting a 50% score and a 75% score. And the really nice bonus in the paper is that they shared the prompt's they used to customise the LLM This is the one paper out of everything I've read in the last two months that I'd recommend everybody listening to read. News on Gen AI in Education About 1 in 5 U.S. teens who've heard of ChatGPT have used it for schoolwork https://policycommons.net/artifacts/8245911/about-1-in-5-us/9162789/ Some research from the Pew Research Center in America says 13% of all US teens have used it in their schoolwork - a quarter of all 11th and 12th graders, dropping to 12% of 7th and 8th graders. This is American data, but pretty sure it's the case everywhere. UK government has published 2 research reports this week. Their Generative AI call for evidence had over 560 responses from all around the education system and is informing UK future policy design. https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/generative-artificial-intelligence-in-education-call-for-evidence One data point right at the end of the report was that 78% of people said they, or their institution, used generative AI in an educational setting Two-thirds of respondents reported a positive result or impact from using genAI. Of the rest, they were divided between 'too early to tell', a bit of +positive and a bit of negative, and some negative - mainly around cheating by students and low-quality outputs. GenAI is being used by educators for creating personalized teaching resources and assisting in lesson planning and administrative tasks. One Director of teaching and learning said "[It] makes lesson planning quick with lots of great ideas for teaching and learning" Teachers report GenAI as a time-saver and an enhancer of teaching effectiveness, with benefits also extending to student engagement and inclusivity. One high school principal said "Massive positive impacts already. It marked coursework that would typically take 8-13 hours in 30 minutes (and gave feedback to students). " Predominant uses include automating marking, providing feedback, and supporting students with special needs and English as an additional language. The goal for more teachers is to free up more time for high-impact instruction. Respondents reported five broad challenges that they had experienced in adopting GenAI: • User knowledge and skills - this was the major thing - people feeling the need for more help to use GenAI effectively • Performance of tools - including making stuff up • Workplace awareness and attitudes • Data protection adherence • Managing student use • Access However, the report also highlight common worries - mainly around AI's tendency to generate false or unreliable information. For History, English and language teachers especially, this could be problematic when AI is used for assessment and grading There are three case studies at the end of the report - a college using it for online formative assessment with real-time feedback; a high school using it for creating differentiated lesson resources; and a group of 57 schools using it in their learning management system. The Technology in Schools survey The UK government also did The Technology in Schools survey which gives them information about how schools in England specifically are set up for using technology and will help them make policy to level the playing field on use of tech in education which also brings up equity when using new tech like GenAI. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/technology-in-schools-survey-report-2022-to-2023 This is actually a lot of very technical stuff about computer infrastructure but the interesting table I saw was Figure 2.7, which asked teachers which sources they most valued when choosing which technology to use. And the list, in order of preference was: Other teachers Other schools Research bodies Leading practitioners (the edu-influencers?) Leadership In-house evaluations Social media Education sector publications/websites Network, IT or Business Managers Their Academy Strust My take is that the thing that really matters is what other teachers think - but they don't find out from social media, magazines or websites And only 1 in 5 schools have an evaluation plan for monitoring effectiveness of technology. Australian uni students are warming to ChatGPT. But they want more clarity on how to use it https://theconversation.com/australian-uni-students-are-warming-to-chatgpt-but-they-want-more-clarity-on-how-to-use-it-218429 And in Australia, two researchers - Jemma Skeat from Deakin Uni and Natasha Ziebell from Melbourne Uni published some feedback from surveys of university students and academics, and found in the period June-November this year, 82% of students were using generative AI, with 25% using it in the context of university learning, and 28% using it for assessments. One third of first semester student agreed generative AI would help them learn, but by the time they got to second semester, that had jumped to two thirds There's a real divide that shows up between students and academics. In the first semester 2023, 63% of students said they understood its limitations - like hallucinations and 88% by semester two. But in academics, it was just 14% in semester one, and barely more - 16% - in semester two 22% of students consider using genAI in assessment as cheating now, compared to 72% in the first semester of this year!! But both academics and students wanted clarify on the rules - this is a theme I've seen across lots of research, and heard from students The Semester one report is published here: https://education.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/4677040/Generative-AI-research-report-Ziebell-Skeat.pdf Published 20 minutes before we recorded the podcast, so more to come in a future episode: The AI framework for Australian schools was released this morning. https://www.education.gov.au/schooling/announcements/australian-framework-generative-artificial-intelligence-ai-schools The Framework supports all people connected with school education including school leaders, teachers, support staff, service providers, parents, guardians, students and policy makers. The Framework is based on 6 guiding principles: Teaching and Learning Human and Social Wellbeing Transparency Fairness Accountability Privacy, Security and Safety The Framework will be implemented from Term 1 2024. Trials consistent with these 6 guiding principles are already underway across jurisdictions. A key concern for Education Ministers is ensuring the protection of student privacy. As part of implementing the Framework, Ministers have committed $1 million for Education Services Australia to update existing privacy and security principles to ensure students and others using generative AI technology in schools have their privacy and data protected. The Framework was developed by the National AI in Schools Taskforce, with representatives from the Commonwealth, all jurisdictions, school sectors, and all national education agencies - Educational Services Australia (ESA), Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL), and Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO).
Finland, "the land of the free press", made headlines in January this year, when two journalists were convicted of disclosing state secrets in the infamous Finnish Intelligence Research Center case. In December 2017, Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's leading daily newspaper, published an article about the activities of the Finnish Intelligence Research Center. The piece was the first in a series of articles aiming to shed light on plans to give Finland's security services greater powers to carry out surveillance and covert operations domestically and abroad. Soon after the publication, authorities opened an investigation into the newspaper and the authors of the article. Five years later, following a lengthy investigation and trial, the Helsinki District Court convicted journalist Laura Halminen and her colleague Tuomo Pietiläinen of disclosing state secrets. On this podcast episode, we will have a closer look at the chain of events which lead to the landmark conviction, and how the long and unprecedented legal proceedings have affected press freedom in Finland and abroad. Guests: Salla Nazarenko, International Affairs Specialist at the Union of Journalists in Finland and Riku Neuvonen, Associate Professor of Media Law, Researcher and Senior Lecturer of Public Law at Tampere University and University of Helsinki. Producer and Host: Ronja Koskinen, Press Freedom Officer at IPI. Editor: Ronja Koskinen, Press Freedom Officer at IPI and Javier Luque, Head of Digital Communications at IPI.

She has a master's degree in educational leadership from Tampere University of Applied Sciences in Finland.Some Key Takeaways:We need to be educating students for the future right now instead of using the past to educate for tomorrow.The concept of order delivery is key to build student autonomy.The Acquire, Connect, Transfer (ACT) model helps us really transform how and what we teach to students in the classroom so that education improves.It's important to look at the framework for change and jump in before you are ready. If you wait until you're ready, you will never start the change.What we teach in school matters because we are creating humans who are expected to contribute to society. Some of those contributions may be good and some of those contributions may be bad, but either way, they are going to contribute. So, let's make it a positive contribution.Sense-making is incredibly powerful because when you have that "ah-ha" moment you adapt and understand and become addicted to that positive reinforcement feel resulting in intrinsic motivation to be curious.Opening the mind and being empowered brings success, which in turn breeds confidence.Stay in Touch:WebsiteSEEing to Lead Extras!Like the content, want to be a guest, or know someone who would?

Wars and conflicts have increased globally - with serious consequences for democracy worldwide. Since 2008, according to the Global Peace Index, the peacefulness of the world has declined by two percent, and in 2022 world peace reached its lowest point - marked, among other things, by the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine, but also by the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan and the increase in violent protests. So how can peace become a reality? How can we overcome a foreign policy that is merely based on military deterrence towards a human-centered policy building on civil society? In the new episode of the Weitergedacht podcast, we want to discuss with Kristina Lunz, Co-Director of the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy, and our Thinking of Europe Fellow Lisa Glybchenko why a rethinking of foreign and security policy is needed, what role a feminist perspective can play in this, but also how peacebuilding and a peaceful civil society can be strengthened by digitalisation. The guests: Kristina Lunz is co-founder and co-director of the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy (CFFP). After a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, she received her first Master's degree MSc Global Governance and Ethics in London and completed a second Master's degree in Diplomacy as a full scholar at Oxford University. After graduating, she worked for the United Nations in Myanmar and for an NGO in Colombia, among others. Kristina has (co-)initiated various activist campaigns and received several awards and fellowships in renowned institutions. She is a member of the Advisory Group of the Goalkeepers Initiative of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and was named one of the "30 under 30" in Europe and DACH by Forbes in 2019. Her bestseller "The Future of Foreign Policy is Feminist" (Ullstein/Econ Verlag, 2022) has been widely received. Kristina and her work are regularly featured in international media such as Vogue, Spiegel, ZDF or even The Guardian. Lisa Glybchenko is a Ukrainian peace-builder/entrepreneur, artist and currently a doctoral researcher working in her PhD project “Visual Peacetech: Digital Visual Images as Security-Building Tools” at Tampere University, Finland. In research efforts, Lisa explores digital visuality of peace and security, holistic user-experience design of virtual reality technologies as peacebuilding tools, and the potential of augmented reality technologies for demo-making of peace arrangements. Much of this is based on the work Lisa's artistic-technological peacebuilding startup Color Up Peace, which now runs a 10-month support program for displaced Ukrainians in Finland and offers a virtual workshops series for war-affected people.

Have you ever come across a post in social media which says, “The claim is disputed by third-party fact checkers”? Or have you ever come across the term fact checker? Are fact checkers journalists? To discuss these questions and the perils of fact checking and journalism in India, Anumita Goswami a doctoral researcher from Tampere University is joined by Pratik Sinha, co-founder of Altnews.in, a prominent fact checking site in India. Fact checking is a relatively new genre of journalism which has emerged with the advent of social media. India has a growing crop of fact checkers who have routinely debunked mis and disinformation online. Their work has been recognised globally with one of them, Altnews.in and its co-founders Pratik Sinha and Mohammad Zubair were deemed one of the favourites to win the Nobel Peace Prize by the Time Magazine. However, the fact checkers have also faced intimidation both from online violence and fear of arrest from the state. This episode sheds a light on doing fact checking under Modi's Hindu nationalist regime. To do so we are joined by Pratik Sinha one of the co-founders of Altnews.in. We will discuss questions relating to his organisation and its business model and fact checking as a genre of journalism. The episode will also cover, the problems he and his organisation have faced with the arrest of Zubair as well as the other forms of intimidation. Additionally, we also talk about the future of journalism and the journalistic community in the context of the former and the recent recognition they received. Pratik Sinha is one of the co-founders of Altnews.in, a prominent fact checking organisation in India. He started the organisation in 2017 with his friend Mohammad Zubair. Since then, he and his organisation has been routinely debunking mis and disinformation online. Their work was recently recognised when Time Magazine deemed one of the favourites to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022. Anumita Goswami is a doctoral researcher at Tampere University. Her research covers topics of social media infrastructure (content moderation, terms of service etc), online disinformation and hate speech and fact checking in India. She was previously Google News Initiative-European Journalism Centre Fellow 2021 at Yle Kioski.

To discuss these questions and the perils of fact checking and journalism in India, Anumita Goswami a doctoral researcher from Tampere University is joined by Pratik Sinha, co-founder of Altnews.in, a prominent fact checking site in India. Fact checking is a relatively new genre of journalism which has emerged with the advent of social media. India has a growing crop of fact checkers who have routinely debunked mis and disinformation online. Their work has been recognised globally with one of them, Altnews.in and its co-founders Pratik Sinha and Mohammad Zubair were deemed one of the favourites to win the Nobel Peace Prize by the Time Magazine. However, the fact checkers have also faced intimidation both from online violence and fear of arrest from the state. This episode sheds a light on doing fact checking under Modi's Hindu nationalist regime. To do so we are joined by Pratik Sinha one of the co-founders of Altnews.in. We will discuss questions relating to his organisation and its business model and fact checking as a genre of journalism. The episode will also cover, the problems he and his organisation have faced with the arrest of Zubair as well as the other forms of intimidation. Additionally, we also talk about the future of journalism and the journalistic community in the context of the former and the recent recognition they received. Pratik Sinha is one of the co-founders of Altnews.in, a prominent fact checking organisation in India. He started the organisation in 2017 with his friend Mohammad Zubair. Since then, he and his organisation has been routinely debunking mis and disinformation online. Their work was recently recognised when Time Magazine deemed one of the favourites to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022. Anumita Goswami is a doctoral researcher at Tampere University. Her research covers topics of social media infrastructure (content moderation, terms of service etc), online disinformation and hate speech and fact checking in India. She was previously Google News Initiative-European Journalism Centre Fellow 2021 at Yle Kioski. The Nordic Asia Podcast is a collaboration sharing expertise on Asia across the Nordic region, brought to you by the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies (NIAS) based at the University of Copenhagen, along with our academic partners: the Centre for East Asian Studies at the University of Turku, Asianettverket at the University of Oslo, and the University of Helsinki

Today I had the pleasure of talking to Dr. Henni Alava, postdoctoral researcher at Tampere University, on her fascinating new book published by Bloomsbury as part of the New Directions in Anthropology of Christianity book series: Christianity, Politics and the Afterlives of War in Uganda: There is Confusion (Bloomsbury, 2022). Alava's work sheds critical light on the complex and unstable relationship between Christianity and politics, and peace and war. Drawing on long-running ethnographic fieldwork in Uganda's largest religious communities, Henni Alava maps the tensions and ironies found in the Catholic and Anglican Churches in the wake of war between the Lord's Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda. The book describes how churches' responses to the war have been enabled by their embeddedness in local communities. Yet it is also in the churches' embeddedness in structures of historical violence that religious faith nurtures peace liable to compound conflict. At the heart of the book is the Acholi concept of anyobanyoba, translate as 'confusion', which depicts an experienced sense of both ambivalence and uncertainty, a state of mixed-up affairs within community and an essential aspect of politics in a country characterized by the threat of state violence. Foregrounding vulnerability, the book advocates 'confusion' as an epistemological and ethical device, and employs it to meditate on how religious believers, as well as researchers, can cultivate hope amid memories of suffering and on-going violence.

Games serve so many different roles in our lives. They can be a form of art, they can be a method of escapism from the hecticness of life, and they can convene community by connecting people all across the world. But can games also heal our relationship to nature and help us navigate the climate crisis? Today's guest, Daniel Fernandez Galeote is a game designer and a doctoral researcher at the Gamification Group, Tampere University. His research aims to understand the potential of games for climate change engagement and combines the study of existing games with the creation of new ones.

My guest on the podcast today is Jenni Lares, a historian currently based at Tampere University. Jenni and I talked about the history and meaning of drinking in Finland in the 17th century, which was her doctoral research topic. We talked about drinking and its relationship with different aspects of life and society at that time: criminal acts, social gatherings and joyful occasions, the effect of religion and the health aspect of the drinks at the time. We also discussed what records about drinking show us about society in general in 17th century Finland and finalized with the similarities and differences today. At the end of the episode, Jenni asked you a question that would make you think about your habits. We look forward to reading your analysis as a comment on social media platforms.

Si le numérique peut provoquer des addictions, difficile d'imaginer que les cryptomonnaies en représenteraient une. Et pourtant, une récente étude de la Tampere University en Finlande, montre à quel point les échanges de monnaies virtuelles peuvent affecter la santé mentale. Évidemment, si de nombreuses personnes se lancent dans l'acquisition et l'échange de cryptomonnaies, c'est dans l'espoir de devenir riche. Avec un Bitcoin dépassant les 30 000 euros le jeton, ou plus de 2000 euros pour un jeton d'Ethereum, il y a effectivement de bon coups à faire si l'on en mine suffisamment. Pour ceux qui ne sauraient pas ou ne seraient pas équiper pour le minage, reste la solution du trading de cryptomonnaies, un peu comme la spéculation en bourse. Seulement, leurs cours plus qu'imprévisibles pourraient vous rendre à la fois dépendant mais aussi dépressif. Dans leur étude, les chercheurs de l'université de Tampere en Finlande ont suivit plusieurs jeunes américains qui se sont lancés dans le « crypto trading » au début du boom des cryptomonnaies. C'est le cas de la californienne Joanna Garzilli, qui en 2017, décide de se lancer. Peu de temps après avoir commencé, elle tire le gros lot avec un investissement qui lui rapporte 85 000 dollars avec une monnaie appelée GRT. Sauf que peu de temps après, Joanna prend des risques et investi 90% de ses économies dans une autre cryptomonnaies qui lui fait perdre plusieurs dizaines de milliers de dollars en quelques jours. De son aveux, je cite « la cryptomonnaie peut faire ressortir les parties les plus sombres de nous-mêmes si nous avons une personnalité addictive. J'ai une personnalité très addictive » fin de citation. En effet, les pics et les chutes de prix procurent un niveau d'excitation difficilement contrôlable. Par ailleurs, la nature hautement instable des cryptomonnaies peut réduire les profits à zéro en très peu de temps. Également, plusieurs thérapeutes américains constatent un afflux de personnes cherchant de l'aide pour guérir de la dépendance aux cryptomonnaies. Selon cette étude finlandaise, les cryptomonnaies présentent des caractéristiques qui les rendent plus sujettes à la dépendance que les paris sportifs, les jeux d'argent et les placements financiers traditionnels. Les monnaies virtuelles peuvent en effet être échangées 24 heures sur 24, contrairement aux actions et les gens n'ont pas besoin de se rendre dans un casino pour « jouer »... Même si d'autres recherches sont en cours, d'autres études tendent également à confirmer l'existence d'un lien étroit entre le trading de cryptomonnaies et la dépendance. Les chercheurs finlandais ont d'ailleurs constaté que les personnes suivies présentaient également un niveau plus élevés de détresse psychologique et de solitude par rapport aux traders traditionnels.

It's spring break for Will's university in London, so we are airing one of our favourite re-runs. See you next week! Today we take a critical look at numbers. Think about it: numbers are everywhere in education, from grades to impact scores to rankings. My guests today, Nelli Piattoeva and Rebecca Boden, have recently co-edited a special issue for the journal International Studies in Sociology of Education that looks at the “ambiguities of the governance of education through data” (read their open access introduction!). Nelli Piattoeva is an Associate Professor at Tampere University in Finland where Rebecca Boden is the research director and professor at the New Social Research Programme. https://freshedpodcast.com/nellipiattoeva-rebeccaboden/ -- Get in touch!

Will Finland and Sweden join NATO? Since Russia launched its unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine in late February, European political and security dynamics have changed in profound ways. For Finland and Sweden, the invasion has ignited a new round of debate around the question of NATO membership, causing both countries to reexamine their longstanding policy of remaining outside the transatlantic military alliance. Despite this movement, no political decision has yet been made in either country, and obstacles may remain in the way of membership. Nevertheless, it appears that a seismic shift in foreign and security policy could be on the horizon for both countries. Anna Wieslander and Mika Aaltola join Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Jim Townsend to discuss what we might expect to see going forward. Anna Wieslander serves as director for Northern Europe at the Atlantic Council. In addition to her role at the Atlantic Council, she chairs the Institute for Security and Development Policy in Stockholm and serves as secretary general of the Swedish Defense Association. Mika Aaltola is the Director of the Finnish Institute of International Affairs. He is also a tenured professor of International Relations and European Union Affairs at Tallinn University in Estonia and holds the rank of docent at Tampere University.
On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club Podcast, Jenn and Monica are going to talk to Luke Acree. Luke is the President of Reminder Media, and he is the co-host of the Stay Paid podcast, which is related to marketing. Luke explains that they worked with about 140 different industries, and it has been interesting to see the effects of marketing on consumers across industries. Tune in! Episode Highlights: Luke talks about the Stay Paid podcast, where they go over all marketing and sales. So they get to interview many people, but not everybody agrees, some people we disagree with.He says it is awesome to get all the different perspectives. Real estate agents aren't ashamed to market, but they are embarrassed to sell. They are very personable by nature, and they naturally tend to drift to the idea of building relationships, says Luke. Monica asks Luke to give a little highlight of Reminder Media because many agents know what it is, but they might not know it by that word. In the beginning, we created a 48-page coffee table publication for the real estate business. Luke explains the concept. Luke never sells to people on statistics, what he tells them is there is gold in your database, and what they need to do is acquire a way to go mine and dig that gold and get it. The irony is that the magic is not in anything with real estate. The magic is in the human-to-human relationship strengthening and deepening of the relationship, says Monica. Most agents are focused on their sphere, and if that's where you're focused, then that is where you are going to get the return, says Jenn. Monica says that agents love to have a predictable business by referrals, but they don't feel like they know how to do that. So, she asks Luke, ‘what do you think is the secret to creating a predictable, healthy, long-lasting, sustainable referral business'? The client doesn't want to hear from you from your frequency. They want to hear from their frequency. Then, they want to hear from their channel, says Luke. People will only receive the frequency that they prefer. So even if you prefer a phone call and get emails a bunch of times, you are probably not even going to see it. Tampere University partnered up with US postal service to do a whole research study and found that print was more memorable and created a better emotional response than the digital advertisement, says Luke. If you are frequent and you create impact, but you don't build trust, you're going to end up with many best friends and no money, explains Luke. Another way Luke tells people to create impact is through accolades of your client testimonials. How long have you been in the business? How many families are you helping? How many have you helped in the past? You should share that with people. 3 Key Points: Luke says that if he were going to go in and start a business in real estate, he would want to make sure he understands the right question asked and the right question in his mind is 'where do the transactions come from'? If your sphere is not big enough to do the level of business you want to do, that is where you need to make friends, and the way to make friends is cold calling, and then your business will thrive based on the people that you know, says Jenn. Luke always tells people to rely on the rule of seven in marketing. The rule of seven means it takes seven times for someone to see your brand and become memorable to them.

Riittakerttu Kaltiala, M.D., Ph.D., BSc, is a professor of adolescent psychiatry in Tampere University and chief psychiatrist in the Department of Adolescent Psychiatry at Tampere University Hospital. She is a specialist in psychiatry, adolescent psychiatry, and forensic psychiatry. She has been clinically involved in carrying out research on adolescent gender identity issues since 2011 when one of the two nationally centralized gender identity services for minors was opened in Finland, in Tampere University Hospital. She has been actively involved in service development, continuing education, and scientific writing and collaboration nationally and internationally, and in her home country she has been invited as a member of major national initiatives related to transgender treatment guidelines and legislation. She has published numerous scientific articles on adolescent mental health epidemiology, psychiatric health services research, and clinical adolescent psychiatry. Riitta tells us about the shift around 2010 in Finland in which health policymakers, politicians, activists, and human rights groups pushed for the inclusion of adolescent and child services for gender transition. The adolescent psychiatrists scrambled to accommodate these new demands but recognized that identity consolidation is known to take more time and they had concerns about such early interventions. Nevertheless, they began developing a program for childhood gender services based on the literature in other countries such as the UK and Netherlands. They were astonished and quite confused when the populations arriving at their services reflected a very different demographic in age, sex, and presentation of other comorbid psychiatric issues. They saw a shift again around 2015 which continued to confound the clinicians. Riitta tells us about reading the Littman ROGD research which accurately documented what she and colleagues were seeing. Dr. Kaltiala also tells us that predictions of improvement and symptom reduction reflected in the Dutch literature were not observed in their work, and describes how Finland has moved towards prioritizing psychological care and meeting all the needs of young patients who present with GD, rather than focusing only on the gender transition requests.

When did Riitta first come across gender identity? She shares the backstory. Riitta talks about how it was decided in Finland in 2009 that children and adolescents also needed gender medical intervention. What was the motivation behind this? It is during adolescence that young people seek and experiment with their identity. However, it is normal for them to change or evolve in 2‒3 years. It is part of the process of stabilizing their identity. It's hard to expect in adolescent psychiatry during the early phases of adolescent development that the person would already be ready with any aspect of identity. In the beginning, most of society did not have an idea about gender identity issues so it was not discussed much, including in the medical field as only a small group had started to study it. Riitta shares the unexpected phenomena she experienced about puberty blockers of gender identity when she first learned about it. Social media and peer discussions usually precede gender distress cases in the U.S. and UK. Riitta shares what data they collected in this case for Finland....
Today I gave a lecture on Blockchain for the Emerging Technologies group at Tampere University. The focus is less on how blockchain technology works, and more on the problems it aims to solve, and why it is significant, and so I talked more about the history, psychology and sociology of blockchain, rather than going into computer science, cryptography, or consensus algorithms. I place a copy here for anybody who would like a gentle introduction to the topic (and for anyone who meant to be at the lecture, but overslept or forgot).
This is episode #8 of the podcast and it's Thursday, the 23rd of December 2021. In today's show, I am talking to Dr. Rob Boddice, Senior Research Fellow at the Academy of Finland Centre of Excellence in the History of Experiences, Tampere University, Finland, and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Social Studies of Medicine, McGill University, Canada. He is the author or editor of 11 books, most recently ‘Humane Professions' (2021), ‘Emotion, Sense, Experience', with Mark Smith (2020), ‘A History of Feelings' (2019), and ‘The History of Emotions' (2018). ‘Feeling Dis-Ease in Modern History', co-edited with Bettina Hitzer, will be published by Bloosmbury in the Spring of 2022. He is currently completing a book called ‘Knowing Pain: A History of Sensation, Emotion and Experience' for Polity Press.Professor Boddice's recent book ‘Emotion, Sense, Experience', with Mark Smith, published last year, is the focus of this show. We start by addressing the central role of emotions in understanding experience, especially experience in the past. In his book, Rob advocates for a broader dialogue on the treatment of the senses and emotions that would lead to “a more accurate, robust, and ultimately, more meaningful history of human experience” (Boddice & Smith, 2020). And, in doing so, he insists in the reconstruction of context to the maximum extent possible, to understand the practical framework in which experience is produced — otherwise, he says, “we risk transfiguring the feelings of others into one's own” — imposing the present on the past. But accessing the situated ways of hearing, feeling, touching, sensing is very difficult and has been done so far through a very zoomed in analysis of the context. The best, he believes, is probably to represent that distance between past and present — and emotions should not be kept separate from the senses - especially when working with experiences in the past.In the second part of the show, we tackle issues related to the role of technology (especially Artificial Intelligence) in shaping our emotion and sensory awareness, and practices of emotion research in the next decade. We close with a discussion on whether historians can and should keep AI ethical and on track. Here is the show.Show Notes:- What is to say ‘History of X'? (where X can be emotion, feelings, experience) and what is experience, especially felt experience?- How many emotions are out there? How should we study them - in isolation, or as a united whole? Is there a boundary between reason and emotion? - The critical need for an interdisciplinary approach to the history of emotions.- Emotion AI: rather challenging to build, adding to this the recent backlash from the Ethics community on the consequences of AI due to the misunderstanding of the nature of emotions. Would a change in our understanding of emotions lead to the ‘right' technology?- Immersive Technology: the role of AI in shaping our emotion and sensory awareness, and practices of emotion research in the next decade (or so); Can immersive technology help historians access the past? And, can/should historians keep AI ethical and on track?For more information on Prof. Boddice's books: https://www.cambridge.org/core/elements/emotion-sense-experience/DBE24D02C6367B362884DAC8A002F69Fhttps://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/feeling-disease-in-modern-history-9781350228375

Welcome to another episode of The Words Matter Podcast.Thanks again to all of you that are supporting the podcast via Patreon – your support is making these episodes and this qualitative research series possible. And you can visit the Patreon here if you'd like to support the show.So, we're up to episode seven of this qualitative research series, and today I'm speaking with Dr Anna Rajala about critical theory.Anna originally trained as a Physiotherapist (Pirkanmaa University of Applied Sciences in Finland), and then pursued Master of Art's in Philosophy, Politics and Economics of Health (UCL in London).She recently completed her PhD in Humanities, at the Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Ethics, at the University of Brighton, UK. Her thesis analysed the relationship between theory and practice of the critical theorist Theodor Adorno's philosophy and her work re-reads the relationship in the context of ethical theories and concepts used in physiotherapy.Anna is currently working as a Researcher in the Academy of Finland funded project Assembling Postcapitalist International Political Economy at Tampere University in Finland, in which she is analysing global physiotherapy discourses on dementia, politics, and economics. She is Co-chair of Critical Physiotherapy Network, co-Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed journal of the Finnish Death Studies Association, and co-founder of a mental health physiotherapy webpage. Read more about Anna's work in her blog hereAnna's research interests include German and French philosophy, medical humanities, ethics, politics of affect, and philosophy and global political economy of dementia, mental health, incontinence, and rehabilitation.She has published on the embodied value of long-term care and critical physiotherapy ethics, and she is currently preparing both single- and co-authored publications on Critical Discourse Analysis and diverse economies of dementia rehabilitation, deconstructive readings of incontinence-related political economy, and a critical reading of Shakespeare's character Richard III.So she perfectly qualified to walk us through critical theory.In this episode we speak about: Critical theory as a framework for pursing qualitative research (see book here by Jerry Willis that we mention in our chat). The reach of critical theory into political, social and economic life. How qualitative research which is situated in critical theory looks to challenge the taken for granted assumptions, social norms and practices and the understanding of discourses and power inequalities. How critical theory is also critical of itself and has gone some way to evolving away from its Marxist roots. How critical research tries to go beyond merely describing the social world and its problems but has a moral focus on change, action and emancipation as a result of the knowledge it generates. Finally Anna shares some of her own research using her critical theory lens and offers advice for those wanting to begin to explore and think with critical theory (see here). So this was such an interesting and enlightening conversation with Anna. As you'll hear, I was somewhat daunted by the theoretical, social and political weight and breadth of critical theory and I was concerned I would feel like a child lost in an amusement park when trying to convey its history and relevance to qualitative work – but fortunately Anna held my hand firmly and skilfully guided me through the conversation.While we didn't dive deep into critical theory, as we would have never likely never surfaced – I think that we covered sufficient ground to introduce some of its major premises and positions and hope it provide an entrance point for those wanting to learn more – I know it certainly did for me.Find Anna on Twitter @AnnaIlonaRajala You can support the show and contribute via Patreon hereIf you liked the podcast, you'll love The Words Matter online course and mentoring to develop your clinical expertise - ideal for all MSK therapists.Follow Words Matter on:Instagram @Wordsmatter_education @TheWordsMatterPodcastTwitter @WordsClinicalFacebook Words Matter - Improving Clinical Communication★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Major powers have been using Covid vaccines - and the desire other states have for access to them - to buy allies and enhance their global reputations. Russia, China, the USA, and the EU have all had different approaches and agendas when it comes to this vaccine diplomacy - and this has been a force in international relations and the global Covid response. In this episode, we discuss this phenomenon and its implications with Dr. Mika Aaltola. Dr. Aaltola is the Director of FIIA, a tenured professor of International Relations and European Union Affairs at Tallinn University, and holds the rank of docent at Tampere University. He has been a visiting fellow at Cambridge University, Sciences Po (CERI), and Johns Hopkins as well as a visiting professor at the University of Minnesota.

Keeping your mouth clean may help prevent a stroke. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is cut off by a blood clot. This results in a lack of oxygen being brought to the brain and can lead to tissue death and loss of brain function. According to a new study, good oral health may be key to stroke prevention. New research out of Tampere University in Finland found oral bacteria in the blood clots of stroke victims. The study consisted of 75 ischemic stroke victims. They sampled the blood clot after removal and found that 79% of participants had oral bacteria in their blood clots. More research will need to be completed to better understand the data collected. In the meantime, make sure that you are seeing your dentist regularly.

Finland has seen a parade of politicians eating their words over very public positions and views, often articulated on social media. Has political discourse become more discordant and increasingly close to the limit of the law? At the same time, politicians are managing to "mainstream" some of their ideas by cloaking them in murky language. What's the media's role in the changing national conversation? Our guests are journalist Aurora Lemma and Tampere University senior researcher Heikki Heikkilä.
