Digitaalisten teosten maailmanlaajuinen rekisteröinti ja käyttömaksujen kerääminen internetissä

The vastly increased popularity of the Internet as an effective publication and distribution channel of digital works has created serious challenges to enforcing intellectual property rights. Works are widely disseminated on the Internet, with and without permission. This thesis examines the current problems with licence management and copy protection and outlines a new method and system that solve these problems. The WARP system (Works, Authors, Royalties, and Payments) is based on global registration and transfer monitoring of digital works, and accounting and collection of Internet levy funded usage fees payable to the authors and right holders of the works. The detection and counting of downloads is implemented with origrams, short and original parts picked from the contents of the digital work. The origrams are used to create digests, digital fingerprints that identify the piece of work transmitted over the Internet without the need to embed ID tags or any other easily removable metadata in the file.

Aspektiohjelmointi ja hauraat liitoskohtamääritykset

Läpileikkaava näkökulma on tietokoneohjelman toteutukseen liittyvä vaatimus, jota ei voida toteuttaa käytetyllä ohjelmointikielellä omaan ohjelmayksikköön, vaan sen toteutus hajaantuu useisiin ohjelmayksiköihin. Aspektiohjelmointi on uusi ohjelmointiparadigma, jolla läpileikkaava näkökulma voidaan toteuttaa omaan ohjelmayksikköön, aspektiin. Aspekti kapseloi näkökulman toteutuksen neuvon ja liitoskohtamäärityksen avulla. Neuvo sisältää näkökulman toteuttavan ohjelmakoodin ja liitoskohtamääritys valitsee ne ohjelman liitoskohdat, joihin ohjelmakoodi liitetään. Nykyisillä aspektikielillä voidaan valita liitoskohtia pääasiassa niiden syntaktisten ominaisuuksien, kuten nimen ja sijainnin, perusteella. Syntaksiin sidoksissa olevat liitoskohtamääritykset ovat hauraita, sillä ohjelmaan tehdyt muutokset voivat rikkoa syntaksista riippuvia liitoskohtamäärityksiä, vaikka itse liitoskohtamäärityksiin ei tehtäisi muutoksia. Tätä ongelmaa kutsutaan hauraan liitoskohtamäärityksen ongelmaksi. Ongelma on merkittävä, koska hauraat liitoskohtamääritykset vaikeuttavat ohjelman kehitettävyyttä ja ylläpidettävyyttä. Tässä tutkielmassa perehdytään hauraan liitoskohtamäärityksen ongelmaan ja siihen esitettyihin ratkaisuihin. Tutkielmassa näytetään, että ongelmaan ei ole tällä hetkellä kunnollista ratkaisua.

Kenttätutkimusaineiston hyödyntäminen käyttöliittymäsuunnittelussa

Tässä työssä arvioidaan kenttätutkimusaineiston hyödyntämisen etuja käyttöliittymäsuunnittelussa. Tulokset perustuvat kahden samasta ohjelmasta eri tavalla suunnitellun käyttöliittymän arviointiin. Käytettävissä on aikaisemmin suunniteltu käyttöliittymä ja tässä työssä suunniteltava uusi käyttöliittymä, jonka suunnittelussa hyödynnetään kenttätutkimuksesta saatua aineistoa. Aluksi tässä työssä käydään läpi kenttätutkimuksen perusteet, tehdään suunnitelma kenttätutkimuksesta ja käydään tekemässä käyttäjien työtiloissa kenttätutkimusta kontekstuaalisen haastattelun menetelmän mukaisesti. Seuraavaksi käydään läpi käyttöliittymäsuunnittelun teoriaa, esitellään tässä työssä käytettävä GDDsuunnittelumenetelmä ja tehdään sen tarvitsemat tavoitepohjaiset käyttötapaukset kenttätutkimusaineiston pohjalta. Tämän jälkeen simuloidaan uusi käyttöliittymä käyttäen ainoastaan kenttätutkimuksesta saatua aineistoa. Lopuksi simuloitua ja aiemmin suunniteltua käyttöliittymää arvioidaan oikeilla käyttäjillä läpikäyntipalavereissa ja analysoidaan tulokset. Tuloksissa osoitetaan miten todellisten käyttötilanteiden simulointi tuottaa erilaisia käyttöliittymäratkaisuja verrattuna toimintojen toteuttamiseen. Käyttöliittymäratkaisujen ongelmien pohjalta todetaan, että on hyvin tärkeää ymmärtää käyttäjien todellinen työprosessi. Pelkästään kaikkien tarpeellisten toimintojen toteuttaminen ei takaa hyvää käyttöliittymää. On tärkeää miten toiminnot ja tietosisältö on aseteltu käyttöliittymään. Simuloinnissa ne suunnitellaan käyttöliittymään käyttäjien työn kannalta paremmassa järjestyksessä. Tämä nopeuttaa käyttäjien työskentelyä ja parantaa opittavuutta, koska tietoa ja toiminnallisuutta ei tarvitse etsiä käyttöliittymästä. Tekstin lopussa arvioidaan tässä työssä käytettyjen menetelmien soveltamista käytäntöön käyttöliittymäsuunnitteluprosessiin käytetyn ajan ja läpikäyntipalaverien analyysin perusteella.

Ympäristöluvan ja kasvihuonekaasujen päästöluvan yhdentäminen : Lupajärjestelmien oikeudellisen integroinnin tarkastelu

Ympäristönsuojeluoikeudellisessa sääntelyssä on sekä kansainvälisesti että kansallisesti viime vuosikymmeninä tavoiteltu lupajärjestelmien yhdentämistä. OECD:ssä esitettiin jäsenmaille suositus pilaantumiskontrollin lainsäädännölliseksi yhtenäistämiseksi vuonna 1991. Samaan aikaan EU:ssa alettiin valmistella ohjausvälinettä yhdennettyyn pilaantumisen ehkäisemisen ja vähentämisen sääntelyyn, IPPC- eli YPEV-direktiiviä (96/61/EY). Suomessa direktiivi saatettiin voimaan ympäristönsuojelulainsäädännön uudistuksen yhteydessä ympäristönsuojelulailla (86/2000, YSL). Sittemmin maailmanyhteisön keskiöön yltänyttä, YK:n ilmastopuitesopimukseen ja edelleen Kioton pöytäkirjaan pohjaavaa kasvihuonekaasupäästöjen vähentämistä säännellään EU:ssa erillisellä päästökauppadirektiivillä (2003/87/EY). Direktiivi on Suomessa implementoitu päästökauppalailla (683/2004, PKL). Mainitut direktiivit sisältävät kumpikin lupajärjestelmän: YPEV-direktiivi ympäristölupajärjestelmän ja päästökauppadirektiivi kasvihuonekaasujen päästölupajärjestelmän. Näiden synergistä koordinointia tai sovittamista toisiinsa painotetaan toistuvasti päästökauppadirektiivin valmisteluasiakirjoissa. Päästökauppadirektiivin 8 artiklassa säädetään lupajärjestelmien koordinoinnin ja samalla tämän työn kysymyksenasettelun kannalta keskeisesti direktiiveihin pohjaavien lupien keskinäisestä sovittamisesta. Ympäristölupasäännöstö ja kasvihuonekaasujen päästölupasäännöstö (päästöoikeussäännöstö) ilmentävät kuitenkin kahta perustaltaan erilaista päästökontrollin ohjausvälinettä. Ympäristölupajärjestelmä on osa perinteistä hallinnollista sääntelyjärjestelmää, jossa yksittäisillä laitoskohtaisilla lupapäätöksillä ja niihin sisältyvillä lupamääräyksillä ohjataan toimintojen ympäristöllisiä vaikutuksia. Päästöoikeussäännöstö puolestaan rakentuu uudemman, markkinapohjaisiin mekanismeihin pohjaavan sääntelyn varaan. Päästöoikeuslupa nähdään valvonnallisena ja informatiivisena hallinnollis-teknisenä lupana, joka ei itsessään sisällä päästörajoituksia, vaan edulliset ympäristövaikutukset välittyvät päästökauppajärjestelmässä säännellyn päästöoikeuksien kokonaismäärän kautta. Ympäristölupa ja kasvihuonekaasujen päästölupa ovat siten oikeudelliselta luonteeltaan varsin eriäviä. Tässä työssä on selvitetty oikeudellisen integroinnin näkökulmasta, miten mainittujen kahden lupajärjestelmän yhdentäminen ilmenee tai miten sen mahdollisesti tulisi ilmetä yhtäältä säädössystematiikassa ja toisaalta hallintotyön organisoinnissa. Eräänlaisena hypoteettisena lähtökohtana työssä on ollut integroinnin edullisuus, joka taas heijastuu integroidun päästösääntelyn ympäristön ja sen elementtien kokonaisuuden painotuksessa. Tutkimuskysymystä on käsitelty lainopillisesti ja oikeusvertailevasti, lisäksi on haastateltu ympäristö- ja päästökauppaviranomaisen edustajaa sekä toiminnanharjoittajatahon edustajaa. Kummankin lupajärjestelmän kansainvälistä, yhteisöoikeudellista ja kansallista säädöspohjaa on tarkasteltu. YSL:n ja PKL:n keskeisiä käsitteitä on analysoitu säädösten soveltamisalojen leikkauskohtien selvittämiseksi. Oikeusvertailevassa osuudessa on tutkittu Ruotsin, Saksan ja Alankomaiden ympäristölupa- ja päästökauppalainsäädäntöä. Vertailtavat maat on valittu siten, että käytetyt implementointiratkaisut edustavat tutkimuskysymyksen kannalta erilaisia vaihtoehtoja. Työn tulosten perusteella voidaan todeta, että lupajärjestelmien menettelyllinen integrointi on mahdollista. Käsiteanalyysissä ei tullut esille seikkoja, jotka estäisivät säännöstöjen yhdentämistä merkittävien soveltamisalaeroavaisuuksien takia, joskin katvealueitakin esiintyy. Tarkastelluista käsitteistä esimerkiksi toiminnanharjoittajan käsite oli likipitäen identtinen kummassakin normistossa, päästön käsite puolestaan määrittää molempia säännöstöjä, mutta sisällöllisesti kuitenkin eroavasti. Toimialakohtaisia eroavaisuuksia sitä vastoin tuli esiin; näihin on tosin vireillä muutoksia sekä yhteisössä että Suomessa. YPEV-säännöstössä niin keskeinen pilaantumisen käsite puuttuu päästökauppanormistosta. Asiantuntijahaastatteluista kävi ilmi, että kaikki tahot pitivät nykyisiä lupajärjestelmiä toimivina; tilanne voi muuttua jos päästökauppajärjestelmä tulevaisuudessa kattaa muita kasvihuonekaasuja. Vertailevan aineiston perusteella havaittiin, että Saksassa lupajärjestelmät on yhdennetty, kun taas Ruotsin eriytetty päästökauppalainsäädäntö vastaa jokseenkin kotimaista. Alankomaiden ratkaisu poikkeaa edellisistä siinä, että kasvihuonekaasujen päästökauppajärjestelmä on yhdistetty jo ennestään säänneltyyn typen oksidien kauppaan. Hollannissa näyttäisi lisäksi olevan valmisteilla mittava lupajärjestelmien uudistaminen, yhdentävään suuntaan. Lupajärjestelmät ovat siis menettelyllisesti yhdennettävissä, mutta aineelliseen integrointiin sen sijaan tarvittaisiin kokonaan uusi lupainstrumentti.

Kutsu kuuliaisuuteen : James I. Packerin liittonomistinen raamattukäsitys

This dissertation examines James I. Packer s view of the Bible as the book of God s revelation. However, this study could not be complete without discussion of his background ideas about God, man and the foundations of theology. The research method used in this dissertation is systematic analysis. I analyse key theological concepts in the data, such as inerrancy, God s word and the covenant of grace, and examine Packer s concepts primarily in the context of the reformed tradition that he represents. Although the dissertation presents the philosophical premises of Packer s thought, the focus is on an analysis of theological concepts. Packer claims to approach theological issues broadly and to reject legalism. However, he also considers Calvinist thinking to be best suited to theological work and emphasises the central role of law in his view of the Bible. My dissertation pays particular attention to the status of law in Packer s theology and especially in the covenant of grace. The dissertation shows that the fundamental theological structure of Packer s view of the Bible is based on Puritan covenant theology, which consists of the temporally successive covenant of works and covenant of grace. Covenant theology stresses the connection and friendship between God and man. Man s highest goal according to the Westminster Confession of Faith (1647) is to glorify the triune God and to rejoice in him for all eternity. After the fall of man, this friendship between God and man can only take place in the covenant of grace. For Packer, the covenant of grace encompasses not only the time of the Gospel, but also the time of the law before the Gospel. Consequently, the covenant of grace incorporates in its very essence the demand of obedience to God s law. Covenant theology forms the foundation for both his view of the Bible and his idea that a believer lives in a covenant of grace, the key aspects of which are God s commandments and man s works. Law and the Gospel are not considered fundamental opposites in the covenant of grace, unlike in justification. In the covenant of grace, man has become God s friend who obeys the law as the law of Christ in a way which differs from Luther s view of obedience to the faith . For Packer, covenant theology is a Puritan instrument to link predestination and sanctification. Works committed in obedience show that the believer belongs to the covenant of grace and will be among the saved. Although voluntary obedience to God s commandments is not a direct instrument to achieve salvation, it is a pivotal sign of predestination. God calls the predestined to salvation with an effectual calling, the reliable message of the Bible. In sanctification, God guides a believer living in the context of covenantal nomism. In that sense, the Bible is above all an instrument of law guided by reason. In man s obedience, God completes man s nature and restores the imago Dei in man.

Tila tilassa : Liturgian ja tilan dialogi alttarin äärellä

This study examines the organisation and transformation of altar space in the modern Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland in liturgical and architectural perspective. The research data consists of 65 altar spaces in The Finnish Evangelical Lutheran church buildings. All of these were characterised in Church Government records as churches , built 1962 1999 and had been consecrated. The main data was collected by means of observation, photographing, and drawing sketches of altar spaces. The focus of this study concerns the organisation of modern Finnish Evangelical Lutheran altar spaces and, in particular, their changes also in relation to the liturgical movement. The challenge of this approach was especially in discovering the spatial identity of an altar space in terms of unequivocal boundaries. The analysis was realised in three stages. Interiors, the organisation of altar space, as well as architectonic qualities of altar spaces in terms of floor elevations, shapes of ceilings, lighting, and openings in the altar space were analysed. Moreover, attention was focused on furnishing and fixed versus movable pieces of furniture (such as the altar, altar rail, the pulpit, the baptismal font, and lectern). Finally, the potential qualitative and quantitative changes in altar space were examined. All in all, the majority of churches in the data featured elongated church halls with an altar at the end of the nave. To look at the data in chronological perspective, increasingly wide church halls had been built since the 1980s (yet there was only one central hall in which the altar was placed at the middle point of the church). Every third church altar was movable. As for the focal point of this study and the altar in particular, it was my aim to pay attention to the versus populum altar and its development in relation to the (Lutheran) liturgy. Hence, it was meaningful to determine, in terms of interior design, whether liturgists were able to celebrate facing the people attending the service. In the 1960s and 70s, a versus orientem altar featured in more than half of all new Finnish Lutheran churches, yet in 2000 two out of three churches featured a versus populum altar. For architectural and esthetic reasons (and not primarily due to liturgical ideas), also altars standing freely off the walls had been constructed. In terms of the liturgy, versus populum altars had been realised in expectation of increased communication between liturgist and worshippers. However, the analysis indicated that the altar could also become a divider of space. This aspect is a novel finding in relation to earlier and concurrent discussions concerning the liturgical movement. This study concluded, all in all, that altars had been increasingly constructed closer and closer to the worshiping parish and, accordingly, used increasingly often in the versus populum manner. Lecterns were often movable until the millennium this was the case in most altar spaces. Baptismal fonts did not have a permanent place in this data, and the data even included altar spaces with no baptismal fonts in the choir, nor the church hall. The position and status of fonts was generally weakened even if baptism in the Lutheran Church was regarded as one of the two sacraments together with the eucharist. The study concluded that even if baptism is regarded as a sacrament in the church, the position and status of baptismal fonts had weakened overall in newer church architecture. In other words, the tendency of the liturgical movement to emphasise the service and its celebration had obviously had its effect on the placement of baptismal fonts in the church hall. This research indicated that the pieces of furniture that mostly involved (many kinds of) visual and spatial changes included the altar and the lectern. In certain instances, fixed furnishings had been substituted by movable pieces or, moreover, new pieces of furniture and paraphernalia such as music instruments, pieces of art, tables, chairs and plants were brought in. In the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, liturgical changes were principally inspired by the Catholic Church, in which liturgical changes are essentially based on Canon Law. Unlike Finnish Lutheranism, Catholicism provides detailed rules and principles even regarding the design of an altar space. According to this study, in the Finnish Lutheran Church, the primarily functional nature of given guidelines and instructions characterises several practical solutions in furnishing.

The Catholic Internet discussion on cloning : A study in cognitive rhetoric

This work combines the cognitive theory of folk-theoretical thought with the classical Aristotelian theory of artistic proof in rhetoric. The first half of the work discusses the common ground shared by the elements of artistic proof (logos, pathos, ethos) and the elements of folk-theoretical thought (naïve physics, folk biology, folk psychology, naïve sociology). Combining rhetoric with the cognitive theory of folk-theoretical thought creates a new point of view for argumentation analysis. The logos of an argument can be understood as the inferential relations established between the different parts of an argument. Consequently, within this study the analysis of logos is to be viewed as the analysis of the inferential folk-theoretical elements that make the suggested factual states-of-things appear plausible within given argumentative structures. The pathos of an argumentative structure can be understood as determining the quality of the argumentation in question in the sense that emotive elements play a great part in what can be called a distinction between good and deceptive rhetoric. In the context of this study the analysis of pathos is to be viewed as the analysis of the emotive content of argumentative structures and of whether they aim at facilitating surface- or deep cognitive elaboration of the suggested matters. The ethos of an argumentative structure means both the speaker-presentation and audience-construct that can be discerned within a body of argumentation. In the context of this study, the analysis of ethos is to be understood as the analysis of mutually manifest cognitive environments in the context of argumentation. The theory is used to analyse Catholic Internet discussion concerning cloning. The discussion is divided into six themes: Human Dignity, Sacred Family, Exploitation / Dehumanisation, Playing God, Monsters and Horror Scenarios and Ensoulment. Each theme is analysed for both the rhetorical and the cognitive elements that can be seen creating persuasive force within the argumentative structures presented. It is apparent that the Catholic voices on the Internet extensively oppose cloning. The voices utilise rhetoric that is aggressive and pejorative more often than not. Furthermore, deceptive rhetoric (in the sense presented above) plays a great part in argumentative structures of the Catholic voices. The theory of folk-theoretical thought can be seen as a useful tool for analysing the possible reasons why the Catholic speakers think about cloning and choose to present cloning in their argumentation as they do. The logos utilized in the argumentative structures presented can usually be viewed as based on folk-theoretical inference concerning biology and psychology. The structures of pathos utilized generally appear to aim at generating fear appeal in the assumed audiences, often incorporating counter-intuitive elements. The ethos utilised in the arguments generally revolves around Christian mythology and issues of social responsibility. These structures can also be viewed from the point of view of folk psychology and naïve sociological assumptions.

Avioliiton teologia Englannin kirkossa ja Suomen evankelis-luterilaisessa kirkossa vuosina 1963-2006

The theology of marriage in the Church of England(CofE) and in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland(ELCF)1963–2006 The method of the study is a systematic analysis of the sources. In the CofE marriage stems from creation, but it is also sacramental, grounded in the theology of love and redemption. Man and woman have a connection between them that is a mystical union in character because of the one between Christ and the Church; therefore every marriage is sacramental. The purposes of marriage have been expressed in a different order than earlier. A caring relationship and sexuality are set before childbirth as the causes of marriage. The remedial cause of marriage is also moved to the background and it cannot be found in the recent wedding formulas. A personal relationship and marriage as a school of faith and love have a central place in the theology of marriage. The theology of love unites the love of God and marriage. In the CofE the understanding of divorce and co-habiting has changed, too. Co-habiting can now be understood as a stage towards marriage. Divorce has been understood as a phenomenon that must be taken as a fact after an irretrievable breakdown of marriage. Thus the church must concentrate on pastoral care after divorce. Similarly, the ELCF also maintains that the order of creation is the origin of marriage as a lifelong institution. This is also an argument for the solemnization of marriage in the church. Faith and grace are not needed for real marriage because marriage is the culmination of reason and natural law. The society defines marriage and the church gives its blessing to the married couples if so requested. Luther’s view of marriage is different from this because he saw marriage as a school of love and faith, similar to CofE. He saw faith as essential to enable the fullfillment of natural law. Marriage in the ELCF is mostly a matter of natural ethics. An ideal form of life is sought through the Golden Rule. This interpretation of marriage means that it does not presuppose Christian education for children to follow. The doctrine of the two kingdoms is definitely essential as background. It has been impugned by scholars, however, as a permanent foundation of marriage. There is a difference between the marriage formulas and the other sources concerning the purposes of marriage in the ELCF. The formulas do not include sexuality, childbirth or children and their education as purposes of marriage. The formulas include less theological vocabulary than in the CofE. The liturgy indicates the doctrine in CofE. In the Lutheran churches there is not any need to express the doctrine in the wedding formulas. This has resulted in less theology of marriage in the formulas. The theology of Luther is no longer any ruling principle in the theology of marriage. The process of continuing change in society refines the terms for marriage more than the theological arguments do.

Spirituality of Finnish peacekeepers

The previous academic research on Finnish peacekeeping has clarified the operative and historical aspects of Finnish peacekeeping lacking the view of an individual who does the actual peacekeeping work. This research is based on the underlying theoretical assumption of human beings possessing different kinds of talents and intelligences creating a holistic entity. In this broad perspective spirituality was explored as an umbrella concept, as a holistic ability or talent, that can be explored as the deepest aspect of defining what it means to be human. The theoretical framework incorporated the concept of an intelligence, which is defined in Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences as the ability to solve problems, or to create products, that are valued within one or more cultural settings (Gardner, 1993, x). The viability of this theory was studied in the sample of Finnish peacekeepers. Spirituality in the theoretical and conceptual horizon was viewed as an extension of Gardner's theory of intelligences as one potential Gardnerian intelligence candidate. In addition to Gardner's theory, spirituality was explored as sensitivity which includes capacities such as sensing awareness, sensing mystery and sensing value (Hay, 1998). Also the practical aspects of spirituality were taken in account as shown in our everyday lives giving us the direction and influencing our social responsibilities and concerns (Bradford, 1995). Spirituality was explored also involving the element of the peacekeepers' community, the element of personal moral orientations and in the domain of religion and coping. The purpose of this research aimed in two dimensions. First, the aim was to outline the intelligence profile and the spiritual sensitivity profile of peacekeepers. Second, the aim was to understand qualitatively the nature of peacekeepers' spirituality The research interests were studied with different kinds of peacekeepers. Applying the mixed methods approach the research was conducted in two phases: first the former SFOR peacekeepers (N=6) were interviewed and the data was analysed. Inspired by the primary findings of these interviews, the data for the case-study of one peacekeeper was collected in co-operation with one former SFOR peacekeeper (N=1). In the second phase the data was collected from KFOR peacekeepers through the quantitative MI-Survey and the spiritual sensitivity survey (N=195). The quantitative method was used to outline the intelligence profile and the spiritual sensitivity profile of peacekeepers (N=195). In the mixed methods approach this method highlighted the general overview of intelligence traits and spiritual sensitivity of peacekeepers. In the mixed methods approach the qualitative method including interviews (N=6) and a case-study of one peacekeeper (N=1) increased subjective, qualitative information of spirituality of peacekeepers. The intelligence profile of peacekeepers highlighted the bodily-kinesthetic and interpersonal dimensions as the practical and social aspects of peacekeepers. Strong inter-item dependencies in the intrapersonal intelligence profile meant that peacekeepers possess a self-reflection and self-knowledge component and they reflect on deep psychological and philosophical issues. Regarding the spiritual sensitivity, peacekeepers found awareness-sensing, mystery-sensing, value-sensing and community-sensing important. The community-sensing emphasised a strong will to advance peace and to help people who are in need: things that are close to the heart of the peacekeepers. These results depicted practicality, being socially capable, and reflecting one's inner world as essential to peacekeepers. Moreover, spirituality as peacekeepers' moral endeavour became clearer because the sub-model of their community-sensing described morally charged destinations: advancing peace and helping people in need. In the qualitative findings peacekeepers articulated justice orientation and rule-following characterising the nature of peacekeepers' moral attitude and moral call (Kohlberg, 1969). An ethic of care (Gilligan, 1982) describes mainly female moral orientation, but the findings revealed that an ethic of care is also an important agent supporting strongly male peacekeepers in their aim to carry out qualitatively good peacekeeping work. The moral endeavour was voiced, when the role of religion in coping meant the assessment of the a way of life, a way of conduct, a way of being truthful to one's own values in confusing surroundings. The practical level of spiritual and religious contemplation was voiced as morally charged inner motivation to fulfil one's duties and at the same time to cope with various peacekeeping challenges. The results of different data sets were combined and interpreted as the moral endeavour, which characterises peacekeepers' spirituality. As the combining result, the perspective of peacekeepers' spirituality is considered moral or at least morally charged.

Kannustaminen ja moraali : Kannustamisen idea suomalaisessa yhteiskuntapolitiikassa 1990-luvulta alkaen

Even though the concept of incentive has become very popular in Finnish welfare politics since the economic crisis of the 1990s, the content of this concept is not clear. Fundamentally, it is a matter of controlling the behaviour of individuals to accord with the authorities' objectives and interests in gaining cooperative benefits. As early as in Plato's Republic, citizens were encouraged to use their abilities and skills in a way most beneficial to the society. Similarly, in today's welfare society citizens are urged to produce common goods and distribute welfare to enable a better life for all through cooperation. The fundamental question is to what extent society can shape individuals' preferences with incentives, and encourage them without external coercion to choose actions beneficial for both the society and the individuals themselves. The objective of the incentive institution is to gain cooperative benefits, but there are different views on how it should be implemented. For example, the incentive system in the Finnish welfare society includes several economic and social conceptions which adjust the distribution of welfare. From an economic perspective, the objective of the incentive system is economic efficiency, while from a social perspective it is the securing of social rights and citizens' equality. The market mechanism, for example, can at best lead to economically efficient activity, but it might sacrifice fairness and equality. In this research, the idea of activation policy expands to cover normative and social incentives, in addition to the economic factors affecting human choice and social actions. Desirable co-living and meaningful cooperation have some prerequisites. We need the expanded idea of activation to study them, and to maintain them in society. The themes discussed in all the ten chapters aim at evaluating the preconditions of a just society. This study provides tools to examine the changes in the welfare state, also from the viewpoint of normative ethics. This offers a morally and conceptually wider perspective than a normative viewpoint of economics alone. In terms of the values of our welfare society, it makes a difference how the relationship between the legalities of economics and citizens' well-being is understood. The research asks whether economic benefits to the society should be allowed to supersede the principles of human dignity Key words:incentives, activation policy, morality, social philosophy, social justice, policy paradigm
