Arctic Energy and Social Sustainability
In recent years the Arctic has become the focus of political, popular and scholarly debates around the future of our world’s Energy. Increasing consumption, dwindling reserves, climate warming and developing technologies are expected to push energy-related activities ever further into the previously inaccessible north. Within this framework, energy in the Arctic is predominantly understood as synonymous with oil and gas production for international exports; meanwhile, any social sustainability concerns associated with energy-related developments remain largely neglected or reduced to regional socioeconomic concerns. Lempinen adopts an alternative approach, exploring how energy and its societal aspects are defined and debated in the context of the circumpolar north. Combining an in-depth conceptual discussion on energy and the social dimension of sustainability with an empirical focus on the scientific and political “truths” produced about energy and society in the Arctic energyscape, this book is an enlightening read for students, scholars and professionals interested in issues related to energy and society in the Arctic or beyond.
Human and Societal Security in the Circumpolar Arctic
Human and Societal Security in the Circumpolar Arctic addresses the comprehensive understanding of security in the Arctic, and specific challenges of the Arctic population from the viewpoint of human security.
Mining in the Nordic Countries
The last few years have seen a lot of activity within the Nordic mining industry. New mines have opened, but there have also been cases of bankruptcies. Heightened activity has in turn led to discussions on the role of legislation and taxation in ensuring that mining contributes to sustainable development. At the same time, a number of voluntary sustainability initiatives have appeared. For historic reasons, the Nordic countries share a lot of similarities with regards to legislation. And not least with regards to environmental laws, the EU has contributed to further harmonisation, even among the non-member states Iceland and Norway. Yet important differences exist. Legal revisions are sometimes the result of much-publicised problems, so experiences in each country plays an important role. An overview of taxation also indicates both similarities and differences.
Principles and Concepts in Nordic Occupational Safety and Health Policies
Abstract: Second corrected edition. The Nordic countries have a close co-operation in the field of occupational safety and health (OSH). The objective of this study is to compare OSH policies in the Nordic countries in relation to the Nordic co-operation programme and strategies of the EU as well. The study was conducted through a qualitative content analysis of the strategies or corresponding programmes. The policies were analysed from the point of view of different themes and dimensions. The study shows that the strategies or programmes emphasise quite different viewpoints. The state has a different role in these programmes, which results in different cultures regarding the OSH policy practices and their development. The report shows interesting differences in the strategic approaches in the Nordic countries. Some of these differences have not been clearly shown and explained before
Suuri Ilmasto-oppi
Monet katsovat opin ihmisen aiheuttamasta lähestyvästä ilmastokatastrofista (Ilmasto-oppi) edustavan tiedettä. Käsillä olevassa kirjoituksessa pyritään aluksi arvioimaan klassisen tieteenfilosofian valossa, onko valtioiden edustajista koottu poliittinen elin yhtä kuin tiedeyhteisö, ja onko sen valitsemista teorioista ja tutkimuksista koostuva Ilmasto-oppi tiedettä. Tämän jälkeen Ilmasto-oppia tarkastellaan joukkoliikkeenä joukkopsykologian kannalta. Huomiota kiinnitetään myös pelottelulle altistaviin ihmiselle luontaisiin psykologisiin tekijöihin: potentiaaliseen nimettömään pelkoon, syyllisyyteen ja ahdistukseen. Kirja on vertaisarvioimaton.
Nuoriso. Mainettaan parempi?
Suomen nuoriso voi enimmäkseen hyvinLevottomuutta koulussa, kiusaamista käytävillä ja laiskuutta työnhaussa. Talouskriisi on saanut Suomen kilpailukyvystä huolestuneet syyttämään nuorisoa työtä vieroksuvaksi, välittömiä palkintoja tavoittelevaksi ja rappeutuneeksi.Todellisuus on syytöksiä valoisampi. Nuorisolle työ on tärkeää mutta sisällön ei palkan takia. Nuoret osaavat asettua toisen asemaan aiempia polvia paremmin. Nuorten vanhemmat ovat kohdelleet lapsiaan persoonina ja viettäneet heidän kanssaan aikaa omista kiireistään huolimatta.Ongelmia aiheuttaa kilpailupaine, joka voi johtaa ihmisarvon tavoitteluun toisen kustannuksella. Yhteiskunnan toiveiden ja nuorten ...
Additive Manufacturing of Structural Electronics
Additive manufacturing, also called rapid prototyping or 3D printing is a disruptive manufacturing technique with a significant impact in electronics. With 3D printing, bulk objects with circuitry are embedded in the volume of an element or conformally coated on the surface of existing parts, allowing design and manufacturing of smaller and lighter products with fast customisation. The book covers both materials selection and techniques. The scope also covers the research areas of additive manufacturing of passive and active components, sensors, energy storage, bioelectronics and more.
