Dentro il palazzo dell'arcivescovo. Un inventario palermitano del 1476
2019
Lo studio si propone di fare luce su alcuni aspetti legati alla vita dell’arcivescovado palermitano alla fine del XV secolo attraverso l’analisi dei beni mobili elencati in una fonte inedita che viene integralmente trascritta. Si tratta di un inventario compilato dal notaio Giacomo Randisi nel dicembre 1476, dopo la morte dell’arcivescovo Paolo Visconti, a evitare che i beni fossero sottratti alla Chiesa di Palermo o portati lontano dalla città: l'elenco degli oggetti esistenti nelle due sedi arcivescovili del Palazzo cittadino e in quello dello Scibene, consente di mettere a fuoco il contesto sociale, economico e culturale dell’arcivescovado palermitano e di gettare nuova luce su un monume…
Estimation of forest stand characteristics using individual tree detection, stochastic geometry and a sequential spatial point process model
2022
Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) results in point-wise measurements of canopy height, which can further be used for Individual Tree Detection (ITD). However, ITD cannot find all trees because small trees can hide below larger tree crowns. Here we discuss methods where the plot totals and means of tree-level characteristics are estimated in such context. The starting point is a previously presented Horvitz–Thompson-like (HT-like) estimator, where the detectability is based on the larger tree crowns and a tuning parameter that models the detection condition. We propose a new method which is based on modeling the spatial pattern of hidden tree locations using a sequential spatial point process mo…
Secular rise in economically valuable personality traits
2017
Although trends in many physical characteristics and cognitive capabilities of modern humans are well-documented, less is known about how personality traits have evolved over time. We analyze data from a standardized personality test administered to 79% of Finnish men born between 1962 and 1976 (n = 419,523) and find steady increases in personality traits that predict higher income in later life. The magnitudes of these trends are similar to the simultaneous increase in cognitive abilities, at 0.2-0.6 SD during the 15-y window. When anchored to earnings, the change in personality traits amounts to a 12% increase. Both personality and cognitive ability have consistent associations with famil…
Development of a Chemistry Concept Inventory for General Chemistry Students at Norwegian and Finnish Universities
2018
A Chemistry concept inventory has been developed for assessing students’ learning and identifying alternative conceptions that students may have in general chemistry. The inventory aims at functioning as a tool for adjusting teaching practices in chemistry and is mainly aimed at assessing students’ learning during general chemistry courses. The inventory was administered as a post-test in a general chemistry course at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in spring 2015, and evaluated using different statistical tests, focusing both on item analysis and the test as a whole. The results from this analysis indicated that the concept inventory is a reliable and discriminati…
Autonomous hyperspectral UAS photogrammetry for environmental monitoring applications
2014
Abstract. The unmanned airborne system (UAS) remote sensing using lightweight multi- and hyperspectral imaging sensors offer new possibilities for the environmental monitoring applications. Based on the accurate measurements of the way in which the object reflect and emit energy, wide range of affecting variables can be monitored. Condition for reliable applications is reliable and accurate input data. In many applications, installation of geometric and radiometric reference targets in the object area is challenging, for instance, in forest or water areas. On the other hand, UASs are often operated in very poor conditions, under clouds or under variable cloud cover. Our objective is to deve…
Social Cognition in Children with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Associations with Executive…
2017
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social impairments. The first objective of this study was to analyze social cognition deficits of children with ADHD, high-functioning ASD (HFASD), and typical development (TD) in their performance on explicit and applied measures of theory of mind (ToM). The second objective was to investigate the relationships between executive functions and social cognition in HFASD and ADHD. One hundred and twenty-six 7- to 11-year old children, 52 with HFASD, 35 with ADHD, and 39 with TD, performed the NEPSY-II social perception subtests. Parents estimated their children’…
Evaluation of a Chemistry Concept Inventory for general chemistry students at Finnish university
2020
A chemistry concept inventory (Chemical Concept Inventory 3.0/CCI 3.0), previously developed for use
 in Norwegian universities, was tested and evaluated for use in a Finnish university setting. The test,
 designed to evaluate student knowledge and learning of chemistry concepts, was administered as both
 pre- and posttest in first year general chemistry courses at the University of Jyväskylä. The results were
 evaluated using different statistical tests, focusing both on individual item analysis and the entire test.
 Some individual questions were found to be not discriminating or reliable enough or too difficult, yet the
 results, as a whole, indicate that th…
Borderline Personality in Patients with Poly-Diagnoses Treated for a Bipolar Disorder
2019
Some patients with dysphoria, explosive behaviour, or suicidal ideation, may receive a diagnosis of, and treatment for Bipolar Disorder (BD) and, not infrequently. The coexistence of these two diagnoses has been explained in different ways. Some authors include the BPD in the bipolar spectrum; others are sceptical about the existence of real comorbidity, suggesting a misdiagnosis. This study aimed to assess the personality of this group of poly-diagnosed patients (PolyD) and hypothesised they had a pathological borderline organisation. Via the administration of the Schedler Westen Assessment Procedure (SWAP-200), we compared PolyD patients with those suffering from BPD or BD only. We perfor…
Inventāra tiesības institūts mantojuma tiesībās

Mantojuma inventāra tiesības izmantošana praksē ir saistīta ar dažādiem problēmjautājumiem gan no mantinieku tiesību viedokļa, gan no mantojuma atstājēja kreditoru tiesību viedokļa. Pētījuma mērķis bija analizēt inventāra tiesības kā tiesību institūtu, tā īstenošanas teorētiskos un praktiskos problēmjautājumus, kā arī sniegt priekšlikumus inventāra tiesības tiesiskā regulējuma pilnveidošanai. Bakalaura darba noslēgumā sniegti būtiski secinājumi un priekšlikumi par pētāmo priekšmetu.

What happens after five years?: The long-term effects of a four-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy delivered by student therapists for depress…
2017
Brief interventions can be viable treatment options worth consideration in addressing the growing need for treatments of subclinical and clinical depressive symptoms. However, there is uncertainty regarding the long-term benefits of these interventions. The aim was to examine the long-term (5-year) effects of a 4-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention for low mood delivered by novice therapists in order to see whether lasting effects could be achieved cost-effectively with four intervention sessions. Originally, 57 self-referred clients were randomized into two groups: an intervention group and a waiting-list control group which received treatment later. The groups wer…
