Principen om nationalismen där det politiska och det nationella är samspelt kan vara av markant betydelse för uppbyggande av autonomiska regimer. Likaså tillåter decentralicering och delegering av befogenheter för språk och utbildning (officiellt erkännande av språk, standardisering av språk, undervisningsspråk och relaterade läroplaner) formning av identiteter inom dessa autonomiska regimer. Resultatet är en ofullkomlig cirkulär relation där språk, samfund och politiska institutioner ömsesidigt och kontinuerligt formar varandra: lingvistiskt mångfald prägar och formger autonomiska ordningar och vice-versa. De juridiska implikationerna av territoriella och icke-territoriella former av autonomi är dock av en annan art. Emedan territoriell autonomi bygger på idéen om ett eventuellt inkluderande hemland för lingvistiska grupper, vars vistelseort är avgörande, förstärker den icke-territoriella autonomin idéen om ett exclusivt samfund bestående av själv-identifierade medlemmar som är kapabla till självstyre oavsett territoriella gränser. Denna avhandling utgör an analys av sådana juridiska implikationer genom komparativa och institutionella analyser. Avhandlingen föreslår som resultat en serie av normativa och pragmatiska rekommendationer inriktade på att främja demokratiseringsprocesser i linje med principer om multikulturalism.

Toisen maailmansodan jälkeisenä ajanjaksona Iso-Britannia ja Ranska päätyivät useissa siirtomaissaan vastakumouksellisiin sodankäynnin konflikteihin. Nämä konfliktit kytkeytyivät siirtomaiden itsenäistymispyrkimyksiin ja kylmän sodan maailmanpoliittiseen tilanteeseen. Konflikteissa Ison-Britannian ja Ranskan siviili- ja sotilasviranomaiset kehittivät innovatiivisesti vastakumouksellisen sodankäynnin menetelmiään. Läntisissä valtioissa tehtiin 1960-luvulla myös merkittävä määrä vastakumouksellisen sodankäynnin tutkimusta. Tämän tutkimusjakson keskeisimpiä teoreetikkoja olivat ranskalainen David Galula (1919 - 1967) ja britit Robert Thompson (1916 - 1992) ja Frank Kitson (1926 -). Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, mitkä tekijät yhdistivät David Galulan, Robert Thompsonin ja Frank Kitsonin kumouksellisen ja vastakumouksellisen sodankäynnin teorioita. Tutkimuksessa on käytetty metodina tulkitsevaa diskurssianalyysiä teoreetikkojen kumouksellisen ja vastakumouksellisen sodankäynnin näkemysten tulkitsemiseksi. Tulkinta on suoritettu sitomalla teoriat historialliseen ja henkilöiden taustat käsittävään kontekstiin. Laadullisella sisällönanalyysillä on tunnistettu teoreetikkojen taustoista niitä tekijöitä, joilla voidaan katsoa olleen merkitystä teorioiden muodostumiselle. Diskurssianalyysin rinnalla on käytetty tapaustutkimusta Galulan, Thompsonin ja Kitsonin teorioiden ja heidän taustatekijöidensä vertaamiseksi. Keskeisen tutkimusaineiston muodostivat Galulan, Thompsonin ja Kitsonin vastakumouk-sellista sodankäyntiä käsittelevät kirjat sekä heidän kirjoittamansa muistelmat. Tätä tutkimusaineistoa täydennettiin teoreetikkoja ja vastakumouksellista sodankäyntiä käsittelevällä tutkimuskirjallisuudella. Tutkimuksen tärkeimpänä havaintona voidaan pitää sitä, että teoreetikkojen näkemykset kumouksellisesta ja vastakumouksellisesta sodankäynnistä ovat pitkälti yhteneväisiä. Tämän johtui siitä, että kumouksellinen sodankäynti havainnollistettiin pitkälti Mao Zedongin vallankumouksellisen sodankäynnin mallin kautta. Kumouksellisen sodankäynnin ytimeksi nähtiin syy tai aate, jota käytettiin kansan tuen voittamiseksi. Kaikki teoreetikot korostivat kumouksellisen sodankäynnin poliittista ulottuvuutta. Tämän takia vastakumouksellisen sodankäynnin tuli olla ensisijaisesti poliittisesti johdettua toimintaa, jota turvallisuusjoukot tukevat. Teoreetikot näkivät asevoimien roolin ja toimintaperiaatteet vastakumouksellisessa sodankäynnissä pitkälti yhteneväisesti. Teoreetikkojen taustoissa havaittiin useita näkemysten yhtenäisyyttä selittäviä tekijöitä.

The aim of this study was to examine how to support breastfeeding of preterm infants immediately after birth in the delivery ward, during their hospital stay in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and at home after hospital discharge. Specifically, the role of early physical contact, maternal breastfeeding attitude, and an internet-based peer support group were investigated. The delivery ward practices concerning the implementation of early physical contact between a mother and her infant admitted to a NICU were examined by a structured survey in two hospitals. An Internet-based, breastfeeding peer-support intervention for the mothers of preterm infants was developed and tested in a randomized controlled design with one year follow-up. The main outcomes were the duration of exclusive and overall breastfeeding, expressing milk, and maternal attitude. In addition, the perceptions of mothers of preterm infants were investigated by analyzing the peer-support group discussions with a qualitative approach. The implementation of early physical contact was different between the two hospitals studied and was based more on hospital routines than the physiological condition of the infant. Preterm infants, who were born before a gestational age (GA) of 32 weeks, were hardly ever allowed to have early contact with their mothers. Both, a higher GA and early physical contact predicted earlier initiation and increased frequency of breastfeeding in the NICU. A maternal breastfeeding-favorable attitude predicted increased frequency of breastfeeding in the NICU and also a longer duration of overall breastfeeding. The actual duration of breastfeeding was, however, shorter than the mothers intended in advance. The internet-based, peer-support intervention had no effect on the duration of breastfeeding, expressing milk, or maternal attitude. The participating mothers enjoyed the possibility of sharing their experiences of preterm infants with other mothers in similar situations. Some of the mothers also experienced being given useful advice for breastfeeding. Based on the mothers’ discussions, a process of breastfeeding preterm infants was created. This included some paradoxical elements in the NICU where, for example, breast milk was emphasized over breastfeeding and support in the hospital varied. Hospital discharge was a critical point, when the mothers faced breastfeeding in reality. Over time, the mothers assimilated their breastfeeding experience into part of being a mother. The care practices related to early physical contact in delivery wards need to be re-evaluated to allow more infants to have a moment with the mother. Maternal attitude could be screened prenatally and attitude-focused interventions developed. Breastfeeding support in the NICU should be standardized. Internet-based breastfeeding peer-support intervention was feasible but additional research is needed.

Saab outstands in the history of the Finnish car manufacturing. This is not only due to that these cars have been manufactured in Finland more than other passenger vehicles altogether. Finns also have a special emotional attachment to the “Finnish Saabs”. Findings from previous studies show that consumers connect cars well to the origin of the brand (COB). They are however rarely aware of the Country of Manufacturing (COM). Domestic brands are often popular in the COB, but research from situations in which the domestic origin is limited to the COM is rare. The case of this study is a phenomenon, in which the products origin is two dimensional and divided into domestic COM and foreign COB. The aim is to understand the phenomenon’s effect on consumer behavior. The research problem is approached with two sub questions: • Which country do consumers perceive as the origin country of the car? • What is the role of this origin in the consumers’ product perception and purchasing decision of the car? The theoretical framework of this study applies previous findings of two areas of interest: Country of Origin effect and Consumer Ethnocentrism. This is followed by feasibility studies that present and discuss the history and current state of Finnish car manufacturing. Based on the findings of earlier stages of the study, the role of the domestic COM on consumer behavior is presumed high. This expectation is confirmed by the experts and also by the first consumer respondent, who states domestic origin having been the main motivation to his car choice. All further consumer respondents do however not connect Saab to the home country, but discuss it as a Nordic car. This unexpected finding means that they do not perceive the origin to be neither the COM nor COB, but a geographical area that includes both countries. In other words, consumers have widened their in-group in a way that is in this thesis explained with reference group theory. The consumers’ perceived origin of the car is in this research found to be an important factor to the consumers’ product perception and purchasing decision. Being fit for the yields of the local environment is discovered to have been the most important factor to Finnish consumers purchasing choice of a Saab and the Nordic origin has been an indicator of this fit to them.
