Wsparcie i radzenie sobie ze stresem jako moderatory związku stresu i jakości życia osób transpłciowych
2018
This study was conducted in order to verify the role of social support and coping strategies as moderators of the relationship between perceived stress and the subjective well-being of transgender people, which is lower than cisgenders’ people. 355 people took part in this study (124 transgender people and 231 cisgender people) between age of 18 and 53. Subjective well-being has been operationalized using the Satisfaction With life Scale SWLS. Measurement of the perceived stress was made using the Perceived Stress Scale PSS-10. Coping strategies were examined using the Mini-COPE inventory. Additionally, two subscales of the Berlin Social Support Scales BSSS were used to measure received and…

The impact of regional demographics on Higher Education Policy. An example from Silesia, Poland
2021
Abstract The determinants of higher education policy have their sources in various spheres, such as economic, social, educational, national policy, administrative, and demographic. Problems for the development of higher education also stem from these spheres. One of them is the challenging demographic situation that is a significant element of developing higher education in southern Poland (particuarly in the Silesia region). Given this context, this article aims to indicate the policies of the universities in the region which respond to the existing demographic threats. This relationship is to confront student opinions regarding their vision for their education and future career within the…
Ecommerce drivers and marketing partnerships in successful export marketing of Finnish born globals
2015
This study examines the utilization of ecommerce and marketing partnerships as part of born global internationalization strategies. The study will combine the existing literature of born global internationalization, export marketing strategies and ecommerce as part of internationalization to form an understanding on how two Finnish health and welfare sector born globals internationalize, and how ecommerce drivers affect their internationalization. Because of the explorative nature of the study, the research was conducted as a case study. The main theoretical background consists of ecommerce and export marketing strategy research (Bell & Loane, 2010; Gregory et al., 2007; Karavdic & Gregory,…
Taide, kieli ja kotoutuminen : keskusteleva kuvan tarkastelu aikuisten maahanmuuttajien kielenoppimisen tukena
2017
Tutkielmassa tarkastelen Visual Thinking Strategies -menetelmän soveltamista maahan muuttaneiden kielenopetukseen. VTS eli keskusteleva kuvan tarkastelu on yksinkertainen, keskusteluun perustuva taiteen tarkastelun menetelmä, jossa edetään osallistujien lähtökohdista, esitetään avoimia kysymyksiä ja sanallistetaan näköhavaintoja. Toisen kielen eli enemmistön äidinkielen oppimista pidetään yhtenä onnistuneen kotoutumisen edellytyksistä. Tutkimustehtävänä on selvittää, miten keskusteleva kuvan tarkastelu auttaa aikuisia maahanmuuttajia oppimaan suomea ja siten kotoutumaan. Laadullisen tutkimuksen strategiana on toimintatutkimus ja kohteena maahanmuuttajille suunnattu Keskustellaan kuvista -ku…
Vocabulary learning strategies : a study on Finnish first-year high school students’ independent vocabulary learning
2009
Oppimisstrategiat ovat olennainen osa vieraan kielen omaksumista, ja ne ovat jo pitkään olleet laajan tutkimuksen kohteena. Sanaston oppiminen nähdään yhä tärkeämpänä osana kielitaitoa ja koulujen opetusohjelmaa, minkä vuoksi sanaston oppimisstrategiat ovat kasvava tutkimuskohde kielitieteessä. Suuri osa uusien sanojen oppimisesta on kuitenkin oppilaiden omalla ajalla tapahtuvaa itsenäistä työskentelyä, ja tutkimus oppilaiden omista käsityksistä eri strategioiden käytöstä ja tehokkuudesta on ollut vähäisempää. Tämä kandidaatin tutkielma keskittyi selvittämään, millaisia strategioita lukion 1. vuoden opiskelijat käyttävät opiskellessaan sanastoa itsenäisesti, kuinka sitoutuneita he ovat…

Communicating voice emphasis in harpsichord performance
2009
We investigated the means used by harpsichordists to communicate voice-specific melodic emphasis. Twelve harpsichordists were asked to perform a short Baroque polyphonic piece by Frescobaldi (1583-1643) on a harpsichord equipped with a MIDI console. Three conditions were tested, each requiring performers to emphasize a particular voice in the piece (soprano, alto, tenor). Four parameters were analyzed: velocity, note onset asynchrony, timing deviations, and articulation. Mean onset asynchronies were much larger than those observed in organ or piano performance, averaging more than 100 ms between outer voices. However, asynchronies did not vary significantly between conditions, suggesting th…
The marketplace vulnerability of low-income unbanked consumers : a developing country perspective
2018
Financial exclusion is recognised as an important element of socio-economic inequality where economically vulnerable groups are excluded from basic financial services. The issue of financial exclusion is mainly concentrated in the world’s developing countries. However, research on the issue of financial exclusion in the field of marketing as well as from the perspective of unbanked consumers is lacking. Although financial exclusion impedes low-income consumers’ welfare, there is a shortage of wellbeing related studies on low-income consumers in the context of developing countries. This doctoral dissertation aims to investigate the ways in which low-income unbanked consumers experience vulne…
Predator response to the coloured eyespots and defensive posture of Colombian four‐eyed frogs
2023
Deimatic displays, where sudden changes in prey appearance elicit aversive predator reactions, have been suggested to occur in many taxa. These (often only putative) displays frequently involve different components that may also serve antipredator functions via other mechanisms (e.g., mimicry, warning signalling, body inflation). The Colombian four-eyed frog, Pleurodema brachyops, has been suggested to gain protection against predation through putative deimatic displays where they inflate and elevate the posterior part of their body revealing eye-like colour markings. We exposed stationary artificial frogs to wild predators to test whether the two components (eyespot/colour markings, defens…
