Säätelytavassa

Säätelytavassa is a Finnish term used to describe the method or manner by which something is regulated. It is formed from säätelytapa (method of regulation) with the inessive suffix -ssa, yielding a phrase that means “in the regulation method” or “in terms of regulation.” The expression appears primarily in technical, scientific, and analytical writings to specify how a process or system is controlled.

In practice, säätelytavassa is used to discuss regulatory mechanisms across different fields. In physiology and biology, it may refer to how organisms maintain homeostasis or how gene expression and metabolic pathways are controlled. For example, one might speak of a temperature- or glucose-regulation system and describe the effects and dynamics “säätelytavassa” of the governing mechanisms, such as feedback loops or hormonal signals. In engineering and control theory, säätelytavassa points to the control strategy or control law that governs a system’s behavior, including negative feedback, feedforward elements, and adaptive adjustments. In policy or governance contexts, it can describe the regulatory approach or framework employed to steer markets, environments, or public services.

Säätelytavassa is one of several related expressions that convey regulation styles, such as säätelytavat or säätelytavan kuvailu. It is most common in formal texts and tends to appear when the author aims to specify the character or mechanism of regulation rather than simply naming the regulated variable.
