What do we actually talk about when we talk about love? Research on love and emotions has been met with suspicion although people live in a network of relationships from birth to death, and the ability to build and maintain relationships is an important strength. This book provides a comprehensive research-based analysis of love in human life: romantic love and its ups and downs, and the fascination of love, the combination of work and family, the secrets of a long-lasting marriage, senior love, and the throes and relief of a divorce. Love is also discussed in relation to other phenomena, such as friendship, play, and creativity. In addition, themes of parental love and pedagogical love, and the ability to love, as well as dark sides of love are introduced. Love is worth cherishing and practicing. Other people's experiences may be helpful, and information about the nature of love can relieve the pain. Thus, love, in its various forms, makes the best health insurance! This book is meant for everyone interested in love but also for professionals in various fields, such as psychologists, educators, and couple and family counselors. The book is based on authors Prof. Kaarina Määttä's and Dr. Satu Uusiautti's extensive research on love at the University of Lapland, Finland

This article focuses on the success at work from the family's point of view. This article is based on two researches in Finland: one that concentrated on marital success (N= 342 married couples) and the other one in which the employees of the year (N=8) described their solutions to combine work and family successfully. By uniting these two perspectives, the purpose is to give a unique description of how both the family and work roles can be combined in order to enhance succeeding both at work and in family life. This article answers to the following questions: 1) In what way is it possible to combine work and family successfully? 1.1) according to the long and happily married couples? 1.2) according to the employees of the year? Based on these researches, the ability to compromise satisfactorily was the linking factor between these life dimensions. The participants that had succeeded at work and in family life had found a balance between work and family satisfying to both of the spouses. This article is of topical concern as the current tendency of the demands on effectiveness and development at work due to changes in work life have been increasing and at the same time, the family values are becoming more and more appreciated.

Non-status Sámi are defined as a group of people who are of Sámi descent, but they do not have official Sámi status. The term 'non-status' means that they lack the official status of Sámi people because they do not fulfill the criteria of Sáminess, as defined by the Finnish law of the Sámi Parliament, and thus do not belong to the electoral register of the Sámi Parliament. Some of the Non-status Sámi have revitalised the Sámi language and started to use it actively; this was the target group of this study. In this study, ten Non-status Sámi's narratives were obtained through interviews. The Sámi-speaking Non-status Sámi were divided into two types according to how they locate themselves in Sámi society: (1) conscious Non-status Sámi; and (2) integrative Non-Status Sámi. According to the findings, Sámi-speaking Non-status Sámi identities and locations within the Sámi society are diverse. The study contributes to the discussion of decolonisation a new perspective from Indigenous people who have consciously started to revitalise Indigenous language and culture. Furthermore, the study shows the multidimensional nature of Indigenous identity and sheds light on marginalities in Indigenous communities.

"The Future of the Arctic Human Population seeks to explore the challenges of Arctic migration, immigrants and refugees and how integrated societies can be developed. Moreover, it discusses disparities between regions on policies and their implementation. This book explores how cross border cooperation is needed to provide innovative solutions to migration challenges such as cultural differences, acceptance and integration into local communities, and joining the labour market. It examines whether there are regional differences in well-being among immigrants in Arctic countries. The book considers how we can build and model integrated societies, and what tools and measure can be used to assess inclusive and resilient societies"--

Teachers' authority relies partly on the mastery of substance but that is not enough if the purpose is to enhance students' overall growth, self-knowledge and well-being. In today's schools, a variety of new phenomena (e.g. multiculturalism, exclusion, etc.) challenges teachers' work and teachers have to be able to cooperate with not only various pupils but also with parents and the community. The purpose of this article is to introduce and discuss a new approach to consider schooling, love-based practices in education. The fundamental aim is to provide activities in education that increase students' sense of meaning and fulfillment, and with experiences of success. We also discuss how teachers' love-based practice may enhance the emergence of productive learning partnerships with pupils, parents, and the surrounding community.
