Tutkijat selvittivät Suomen eliölajiston muutoksia 1800-1900-luvuilla. Esimerkiksi hirvi, supikoira ja harmaahaikara ovat olleet laajemmalle levinneitä kuin aiemmin on tiedetty.

Pääkirjoitus | Kansallisarkiston tulevaisuus on poliitikkojen vallassa Kansallisarkisto on myrskyn keskellä, kun se on sulkemassa palvelupisteensä monessa kaupungissa. Taustalla on digitalisaatio, mutta myös budjettileikkaukset.

Hesarikin havahtui: Kansallisarkiston tulevaisuus on poliitikkojen käsissä.

There has been discussion of English translation for quite a long time, but so far the matter has not progressed. The Finnish edition of the book was already published in 2022. Hopefully, the English translation can be accomplished sometime in the near future.

Finally, this is published. The article explores the use of digitised historical press data as a valuable resource for biodiversity research. Although a few typos slipped into the published article (despite thorough proofreading 😅), it is still a nice paper! doi.org/10.1007/s105...

Hyvinvointivaltio rakentui työnteon päälle – miten käy, jos työssäkäyvät menettävät luottamuksensa siihen? Hyvinvointivaltio syntyi osin Ruotsia matkimalla, osin omista lähtökohdista ja riitojen kautta. Mutta miten sille käy, kun rahasta on tiukkaa ja väestö ikääntyy?

Lisää kiinnostavaa hyvinvointivaltion historiasta, mainiot tietolähteet myös!

Harmittomasta kiusasta pelottavaksi viholliseksi – näin suhtautuminen punkkeihin on muuttunut historian saatossa Humanistinen ympäristötutkimus on tarkastellut punkkeja kulttuurisesta ja historiantutkimuksen näkökulmasta.

Tutkijamme @ottolatva.bsky.social on selvittänyt, miten suomalaiset ovat suhtautuneet punkkeihin ennen ja nykyään.

Punkkeihin liitettiin 1800-luvulla erilaisia uskomuksia, joista yhden mukaan puuvilla kasvaa sille korkeudelle, jolle punkki on puraissut nuorta neitoa.

8 Coming to terms with fish farming and fish consciousness 8 Coming to terms with fish farming and fish consciousness was published in Animal Industries on page 153.

The ethical problems of fish farming have already been widely discussed outside Finland. In my article published in the spring of 2024 (www.degruyter.com/document/doi...), I wondered when the issue would emerge in the Finnish public discussion. Well, now this has happened #fishfarming #animalhistory
