The Fouling phenomena in membrane bioreactors: a comparison of different mathematical modelling approaches

2015

Eight different modelling approaches for membrane fouling modelling have been compared and the uncertainty has been assessed. Overall the eight approaches provided satisfactory results in terms of model fitting with the measured data. Different results have been obtained in terms of uncertainty bounds showing a different reliability of the model approaches. The study allowed to gain insights about the mechanisms which control fouling in membrane bioreactors.

Finnish athletes' expectations about physiotherapy in sport injury rehabilitation

2011

As the injured athlete's primary and most frequent contact within the sport injury rehabilitation process, the physiotherapist is in a unique position to influence the athlete's psychological rehabilitation alongside the physical recovery (Barefield & McCallister, 1997). The important question of whether or not athletes expect physiotherapists to address their psychological issues, however, has not yet been investigated in detail. Moreover, scales that measure athletes’ expectations of physiotherapy are also scarce and available only in the English language. Therefore, the purpose of this study was two-fold: 1) to adapt the Expectation About Athletic Training (EAAT) questionnaire into Finni…

Children’s strategic participation in a bilingual Early Childhood Education and Care Centre

2020

This article considers children’s language learning experiences at an early childhood education and care centre (ECEC) in Central Finland. The article draws on data gathered as part of a Master’s thesis study (Holmila, 2019) which looked at the perspectives of staff, parents and children regarding the use of English as part of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology at the ECEC, with a view to future developments of CLIL provision. This article considers what can be learned from the children’s perspectives. Following a brief overview of the advantages of bilingual educational programmes and the educational context for this study, the main section of this article focu…

Assessing Transfer Entropy in cardiovascular and respiratory time series: A VARFI approach

2021

In the study of complex biomedical systems represented by multivariate stochastic processes, such as the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, an issue of great relevance is the description of the system dynamics spanning multiple temporal scales. Recently, the quantification of multiscale complexity based on linear parametric models, incorporating autoregressive coefficients and fractional integration, encompassing short term dynamics and long-range correlations, was extended to multivariate time series. Within this Vector AutoRegressive Fractionally Integrated (VARFI) framework formalized for Gaussian processes, in this work we propose to estimate the Transfer Entropy, or equivalently G…

The intriguing human being : a cooperative CLIL material package for teaching human anatomy and senses through English in elementary school

2013

Koulutusjärjestelmät ovat kautta aikojen pyrkineet vastaamaan tarpeisiin, joita sen hetkinen maailma on sille luonut. Nykyaikana globalisaatio ja kansainvälistyminen ovat tuoneet omat haasteensa koulutusjärjestelmille. Vastineeksi näihin tarpeisiin on muodostunut erilaisia opetusmenetelmiä, joista yhtenä Suomeenkin levinnyt CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). CLIL on nimeke opetukselle, joka tapahtuu oppijalle vieraalla kielellä. CLIL:iä ei kuitenkaan tule sekoittaa perinteisiin kielikylpymenetelmiin tai kaksikieliseen opetukseen vaan sillä on omat erityispiirteensä. CLIL opetuksella on kaksoisfokus kieleen ja sisältöön. Samanaikaisesti pyritään siis opettamaan niin kielellisiä…
