Enchancing coaches' professional development through a goal setting program : an action research cross-case study
2013
Erkina Elena, Kiens Kristel, 2013. Enhancing Coaches’ Professional Development Through a Goal Setting Program: An Action Research Cross-Case Study. Master’s Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences, University of Jyväskylä. 115 p. Lack of knowledge and practical training are some of the main barriers for coaches not to use mental training in their everyday practice. Educational programs for coaches should include relevant topics and hands-on experiences to increase motivation in further education. Goal setting as a mental training technique is associated with positive outcomes, e.g., enhanced performance and mood, increased team cohesion and self- confidence. Th…

Tavoiteristiriita ja kiinteys : tapaus- ja seurantatutkimus yhdestä naisten SM-tason ringettejoukkueesta
2015
Joukkuetavoitteita tutkittaessa lähtökohtana on ollut, että kaikki pelaajat mieltävät yhteisen tavoitteen samalla tavalla. Yhdessä tutkimuksessa kuitenkin havaittiin että useassa joukkueessa vallitsi erilaisia käsityksiä yhteisestä tavoitteesta, joten ilmiö saattaa olla oletettua yleisempi. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan yhtä naisten SM-sarjassa pelannutta ringettejoukkuetta, jossa vallitsi pelaajien kesken ristiriitainen käsitys tulostavoitteesta koko kauden ajan. Tämän määrällistä ja laadullista aineistoa sisältävän tapaus- ja seurantatutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kuvata ja ymmärtää pelaajien ristiriitaisia käsityksiä yhteisestä tavoitteesta. Joukkueen pelaajat (N=20) vastasivat kolmeen…
CUDA-BLASTP: Accelerating BLASTP on CUDA-enabled graphics hardware
2011
Scanning protein sequence database is an often repeated task in computational biology and bioinformatics. However, scanning large protein databases, such as GenBank, with popular tools such as BLASTP requires long runtimes on sequential architectures. Due to the continuing rapid growth of sequence databases, there is a high demand to accelerate this task. In this paper, we demonstrate how GPUs, powered by the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), can be used as an efficient computational platform to accelerate the BLASTP algorithm. In order to exploit the GPU's capabilities for accelerating BLASTP, we have used a compressed deterministic finite state automaton for hit detection as wel…
Influence of Geographical Area and Living Setting on Children's Weight Status, Motor Coordination, and Physical Activity
2022
This study was aimed (i) to examine the effect of living setting (rural vs. urban), geographical area (North vs. Center vs. South), and gender (boys vs. girls) on weight status, motor coordination, and physical activity (PA) level of Italian school-age children; (ii) to examine differences in the neighborhood walkability of different school areas from different geographical areas and living settings; and (iii) to examine whether motor coordination, PA level, geographical areas, living setting, neighborhood walkability, and gender could predict children's weight status. We assessed anthropometric parameters, gross motor coordination, and PA level in 1,549 children aged between 8 and 13 years…
Leadership Effectiveness in Healthcare Settings: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Cross-Sectional and Before-After Studies
2022
To work efficiently in healthcare organizations and optimize resources, team members should agree with their leader’s decisions critically. However, nowadays, little evidence is available in the literature. This systematic review and meta-analysis has assessed the effectiveness of leadership interventions in improving healthcare outcomes such as performance and guidelines adherence. Overall, the search strategies retrieved 3,155 records, and 21 of them were included in the meta-analysis. Two databases were used for manuscript research: PubMed and Scopus. On 16th December 2019 the researchers searched for articles published in the English language from 2015 to 2019. Considering the study des…

Ieguldītāju un valsts strīdu izšķiršana no Eiropas Savienības tiesību perspektīvas
2016
Maģistra darbā pētīts ieguldītāju un valsts strīdu izšķiršanas mehānisms no Eiropas Savienības tiesību perspektīvas, koncentrējoties uz starp dalībvalstīm noslēgtiem divpusējiem ieguldījumu aizsardzības līgumiem. Darba mērķis ir atbildēt uz jautājumu, vai šobrīd pastāvošais strīdu izšķiršanas mehānisms nepārkāpj ES tiesības, kā arī, kādi būtu risinājumi iespējamām nesaderībām. Darba uzdevumi bija cita starpā izvērtēt EST judikatūru un doktrīnu galvenokārt par LESD 344., 267. un 351. pantiem, secinot to tvērumu attiecībā uz divpusējiem ieguldījumu aizsardzības līgumiem, kā arī rast risinājumu iespējamai nesaderībai ar ES tiesību prasībām. Vietā šķiet Viljama Šekspīra mūžīgais jautājums, kas …
Multi-modal Image Registration Using Fuzzy Kernel Regression
2009
This paper presents a study aimed to the realization of a novel multiresolution registration framework. The transformation function is computed iteratively as a composition of local deformations determined by the maximization of mutual information. At each iteration, local transformations are joint together using fuzzy kernel regression. This technique represents the core of the mothod and it's formally described from a probabilistic perspective. It avoids blocking artifacts and allows to keep the final deformation spatially congruent and smooth. Both qualitative and quantitative experimental results show that this approach is equally effective for registering datasets acquired from both si…
