Sam SorensenHOST
Today, we are reading an actual honest-to-goodness academic paper from the International Journal of Role-Playing from, like, 2008.
Sam SorensenHOST
This is The Invisible Rules of Role-Playing: The Social Framework of Role-Playing Process by Markus Montola, who is, or was a researcher at the University of Tampere in Finland.
Sam SorensenHOST
Now I think he is head of a mobile games studio, but he is a pretty well-known figure in Nordic LARP circles in and out of academia.
Sam SorensenHOST
He has presented at many conferences and things.
Sam SorensenHOST
It's not that far on the heels of the Turku School Manifesto by Mika Pohjola that we read a handful of episodes ago, and Montola and Pohjola both know each other.
Sam SorensenHOST
They're sort of running in similar circles.
Sam SorensenHOST
Tur- Turku and Tampere are, like, not that far apart from each other, and they have both contributed to, like, similar collections, and I believe Montola edited, like, a series of books in 2004, or, like, a series of articles of which Pohjola was a contributor.
Sam SorensenHOST
So they, they run in similar circles and will be addressing somewhat similar themes.
Brent WallaceHOST
Where, what's his bio? Where is he from?
Graeme NicholsHOST
Uh, so he's from Tampere, Finland.
Brent WallaceHOST
Okay.
Graeme NicholsHOST
Uh, what do he have? He had 185 career NHL games, 8 goals, 34 points.
JamieHOST
So in no particular order, this is not the complete list.
JamieHOST
Who the fuck's in Wigan? Somehow, Stockholm, Winnipeg, Tampere, Cambridge, fucking Cambridge.
JamieHOST
Cambridge, shout out.
JamieHOST
Detroit, Seattle, Oakville, Shelford, Columbus, Luton, Pasadena, Comte, Aston, Greenville, Madagascar, Simpsonsville, Toronto, Harvard, Singapore, Denmark.
Robert Perry CruzHOST
Dieterding, Dixon, Khalid, Nennaki.
Robert Perry CruzHOST
From Game Design Elements to Gamefulness, Defining Gamification, which is a workshop from September 2011 at the Proceedings of the 15th International Academic Mind Truck Conference Envisioning Future Media Environments in Tampere, Finland.
Robert Perry CruzHOST
Wow, that must have been a fun...
Robert Perry CruzHOST
And then, of course, the main article that gets discussed is our very own Perry Cruz and McDonald in their 2021 publication, Using Gamification to Promote Accurate Data Entry of Practical Experience Hours in Graduate Students.
Tom VaselHOST
A nod.
Tom VaselHOST
The hellos are for the BAP, I'm assuming that's gaming community, in Tampere, Finland.
Tom VaselHOST
It says Kaming, but that can't be right.
Zee GarciaHOST
Finland? Wow.
speaker_1HOST
Since Sweden does not yet operate HIMARS, Finland will help out with maintenance and training.
speaker_1HOST
Plus, Lockheed Martin is setting up Europe's first HIMARS maintenance center in the Finnish city of Tampere.
speaker_1HOST
Finland already operates the track version of the MLRS, which uses the same munitions.
speaker_1HOST
Defense chiefs in the hangar were certainly aware of repeated reports of delays and deliveries of American-made weapons because of the war in the Middle East.
Spring HatfieldNARRATOR
Researchers find groundbreaking connection between oral bacteria and stroke by today's RDH research.
Spring HatfieldNARRATOR
Finnish researchers at the University of Tampere have some findings that show the presence of common oral bacteria in cerebral emboli for the first time.
Spring HatfieldNARRATOR
The article that documents their findings, Oral bacterial signatures in cerebral thrombi of patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with thrombectomy, focuses on the association between infection-causing oral bacteria and ischemic strokes.
Spring HatfieldNARRATOR
The Journal of the American Heart Association published the research article on June 4th, 2019 about ischemic strokes.
Spring HatfieldNARRATOR
A blockage of blood flow to the brain occurred, triggering strokes in the patients.
Spring HatfieldNARRATOR
Why this study matters.
Spring HatfieldNARRATOR
The relationship between poor oral health due to chronic infection and certain kinds of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack and cerebral aneurysm, has already been documented by the research group at the University of Tampere.
Spring HatfieldNARRATOR
The group has been studying a possible connection between bacterial infections and cardiovascular disease for more than 10 years.
Geoffrey RobertsGUEST
So that was the basis of his relationship and his support for Lenin.
Geoffrey RobertsGUEST
And he has his first meeting with Lenin in 1905 and actually takes place in a place in Finland called Tampere, and Finland at that time was part of the Russian Empire, it was a province of the Russian Empire, so there's a Bolshevik party conference in Tampere and that's where Stalin first meets Lenin, and then later on after Lenin's death in 1924, Stalin gives a rather kind of idealized version of his first encounter with meeting.
Geoffrey RobertsGUEST
And as you say, after Lenin's death, Stalin is to the forefront of propagating a cult of Lenin, the Lenin cult, right? And indeed Stalin himself projects himself as being Lenin's heir, Lenin's disciple.
Geoffrey RobertsGUEST
He's always saying, I'm merely a student of Lenin's.
Mark GaleottiHOST
And I'll be talking about Russia's war in Ukraine and the consequences for the Putin regime.
Mark GaleottiHOST
Can you think of a more generic title than that? Then on the 20th of October, I shall be in Finland, in Tampere, where I'm giving a talk on whether Russia is a prisoner of history at a pre-conference event for the Aleksanteri Conference, which is being held about ideologies in Russia in conjunction with the publication of a new book.
Mark GaleottiHOST
Not mine, I should add.
Mark GaleottiHOST
And then after that, I'll also be on a panel at the Aleksanteri Conference in Helsinki.
Dominik JaisGUEST
What basically happened is I came across their glasses.
Dominik JaisGUEST
So there was a renovation going on in the nearest city or not the nearest, but the biggest city close by here, it's Tampere.
Dominik JaisGUEST
And they were renovating one of their, what's it called, municipality buildings.
Dominik JaisGUEST
And I just asked the guy, hey, can I take the glasses that you're kind of throwing away here? So I drove to Tampere two or three times, got all the glasses and then put them in front of this old barn.
Dominik JaisGUEST
And this is where the greenhouse now is, the indoor food forest is.
Dominik JaisGUEST
So I'm not using it to grow annuals.
