Interaction of hadrons and tests for the nature of resonances
2016
El propósito de esta Tesis es contribuir al extenso esfuerzo que se ha hecho, en las ultimas décadas, a fin de entender la estructura de las partículas hadrónicas, uno de los temas más importantes en física hadrónica. En los años 50, el desarrollo de los aceleradores de partículas reveló la existencia de una gran cantidad de nuevas resonancias. La proliferación de partículas, poco después, manifestó un patrón, y un esquema de organización para describirlo se hizo necesario. Al principio, se encontró una solución generalizando el concepto de isospín con el modelo de Fermi-Yang de 1959, en el que el protón y el neutrón aparecen como bloques fundamentales y las otras partículas como sus combin…
Managing complexity in global IT projects
2017
Projektien hallintaan kuuluu paljon erilaisia osa-alueita, joita projektipäällikön ja korkeamman tason henkilöstön tulee ottaa huomioon ennen projektin alkua ja sen aikana. Projektin kompleksisuus nousee kuitenkin erittäin korkealle ta-solle, kun kyseessä on kansainvälinen IT-projekti. Tämän kaltaisissa projek-teissa on useita osa-alueita, jotka voivat vaikuttaa kriittisesti niiden onnistumi-seen. Tämä tutkimus keskittyy havainnoimaan, mistä asioista kompleksisuus koostuu globaalien IT-projektien tapauksessa, miten se linkittyy kompleksi-suusteoriaan ja miten tätä kompleksisuutta kyetään hallitsemaan. Tekotapana tässä tutkimuksessa on kirjallisuuskatsaus. Kirjallisuus on kerätty kirjastoist…
Review of Particle Physics
2020
The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,143 new measurements from 709 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, dark photons, etc. Particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Higgs Boson Physics, Supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, Neutrino Mixing, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Cosmology, Particle Detectors, Colliders, …
What is important in history teaching? Student class teachers’ conceptions
2020
In Finland, history is taught in comprehensive schools at both primary and secondary levels. In primary schools, teachers are qualified class teachers who study one or two history courses during their teacher education. The amount of history taught in teacher education is limited, but student class teachers have studied history while at comprehensive school and general upper secondary school, and they have lived experience of historical cultures as members of different groups and communities. Thus, they have conceptions of what history teaching in school is, and what it should be. In this article, student class teachers’ conceptions of teaching history were examined using data (n=92) consi…
Aikuisten turvapaikanhakija- ja pakolaisasiakkaiden terapeuttisissa keskusteluissa kuvaamat hyödylliset muutokset
2018
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan sitä, kuinka kuusi aikuista turvapaikanhakija- ja pakolaisasiakasta kuvaavat kokemiaan hyödyllisiä muutoksia luonnollisissa terapeuttisissa keskusteluissa. Asiakkaiden keskustelukäynnit kriisikeskuksen työntekijöiden luona videotallennettiin. Tutkimuksen kohteena olivat asiakkaiden esittämät ja tulkkien suomeksi välittämät ilmaukset. Tutkimusmenetelmänä käytettiin aineistolähtöistä laadullista sisällönanalyysia. Analyysissä syntyi neljä hyödyllisen muutoksen kategoriaa. Hyödyllisen muutoksen kategorioita ovat helpottuneempi olotila, uusien ongelmiin ja elämään liittyvien hallintakeinojen omaksuminen, itseymmärryksen ja voimaantumisen tunteen lisääntyminen ja rake…
Practices in research, surveillance and control of neglected tropical diseases by One Health approaches: A survey targeting scientists from French-sp…
2021
One health (OH) approaches have increasingly been used in the last decade in the fight against zoonotic neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). However, descriptions of such collaborations between the human, animal and environmental health sectors are still limited for French-speaking tropical countries. The objective of the current survey was to explore the diversity of OH experiences applied to research, surveillance and control of NTDs by scientists from French-speaking countries, and discuss their constraints and benefits. Six zoonotic NTDs were targeted: echinococcoses, trypanosomiases, leishmaniases, rabies, Taenia solium cysticercosis and leptospiroses. Invitations to fill in an online q…
Estimating field-saturated soil hydraulic conductivity by a simplified Beerkan infiltration experiment
2014
Field-saturated soil hydraulic conductivity, Kfs, is highly variable. Therefore, interpreting and simulating hydrological processes, such as rainfall excess generation, need a large number of Kfs data even at the plot scale. Simple and reasonably rapid experiments should be carried out in the field. In this investigation, a simple infiltration experiment with a ring inserted shortly into the soil and the estimation of the so-called a* parameter allowed to obtain an approximate measurement of Kfs. The theoretical approach was tested with reference to 149 sampling points established on Burundian soils. The estimated Kfs with the value of first approximation of a* for most agricultural field s…
: Quantification of the morphological evolution of the Hominid skull and heterochronies
1998
Comparisons of adult skulls of various species of great apes, fossil hominids and modem humans in the sagittal, Francfort and ortho-sagittal planes reveal a series of three separate organisation plans: 'GreatApe', 'Australopithecine'and 'Homo', tbe latter including primitive men (Homo ergaster-erectus-neandertalensis) and modern humans (Homo sapiens). Morphological changes between these plans are quantified for the first time here by vector fields. This study confirms the existence of cranio-facial contraction, which occurs as a series of leaps. The juvenile morphology of the great ape skull is broadly preserved in adult Homo sapiens, suggesting that numerous heterochronies have occurred in…

Assisting immersive virtual reality development with user experience design approach
2017
In our study we explored how to design a biography of a late Finnish artist as a VR experience. We conducted a development process assisted by user experience (UX) design methods, which increased the process efficiency, and resulted in a research prototype. Through previous research and our development process, we identified components affecting the user experience. These components are: Immersion, Presence, Disorientation, Sense of Control, Pleasantness, Exploration and Simulator Sickness. From our user study with 13 participants, we were able to draw implications that relate to these components. While the set of components could be incomplete or subject to change, shows that further resea…
