Tracking migration of black‐headed buntings Emberiza melanocephala reveals the Iranian Plateau as an ecological barrier along the Indo‐European flyway
2021
The black-headed bunting is one of the few species that migrate along the Indo-European flyway, and its migration routes and phenology are poorly understood. We provide the first individual-based year-round tracking study describing route choice and timing of black-headed buntings migrating from a breeding site in Croatia to a 6000 km distant non-breeding region in Maharashtra, central India. To evaluate landscapes important for the black-headed bunting migration, we quantified land covers and climates along the migration corridor. Stopover areas during the post-breeding migration were concentrated in four distinct regions: the Balkan Peninsula, central Anatolia, along with the Zagros mount…

Optimistit opintiellä : opinnoissaan menestyvien nuorten hyvinvointi lukiosta jatko-opintoihin
2007
Sirpa Vahtera tutki väitöstyössään opinnoissaan menestyvien nuorten ajattelu- ja toimintastrategioita ja psyykkistä hyvinvointia lukiosta jatko-opintoihin. - Lukioissa kannattaa vaalia oppimisen ja yhdessä tekemisen iloa.

Threat Appraisal, Resilience, and Health Behaviors in Recovered COVID-19 Patients: The Serial Mediation of Coping and Meaning-Making
2023
Research indicates that both cognitive appraisal and personal resources can noticeably influence health behaviors, as individuals modify their health convictions and practices on the basis of threat appraisal, personality, and meaning. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether coping strategies and meaning-making can serially mediate the relationship of threat appraisal and resilience with health behaviors in recovered COVID-19 patients. Self-report measures of threat appraisal, resilience, coping, meaning-making, and health behaviors were completed by 266 participants (aged 17 to 78, 51.5% female) who had recovered from COVID-19. The serial mediation analysis showed that the …
MOTIVATION – A STIMULATING FACTOR FOR INCREASING HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE
2012
Motivation is the basis of behaviours and activities that people deliver inside the association in relation to the peculiarity of the challenges that follow a category or another of functional relations. Thus, in order to assure the performance of the modern associations there is the need to know and understand the elements that motivate or demotivate an employee and even more, to apply them. Individual and constructional performance is in direct relationship with the direct implementation of the management of human resources. Thus, only by knowing the motivational theories and by applying efficient managerial strategies in order to engage the employees in competitive achievement of the org…
Casual spectators and die-hard fans’ reactions to their team defeat: A look at the role of territorial identification in elite French rugby
2012
This research investigated the role of two foci of identification (team and territory) on identity management strategies used by sport followers in the particular context of elite French rugby union. In study 1 which dealt with casual spectators (N = 153), the results corroborated numerous studies conducted in the North-American context and showed that team identification constitutes a strong driver for offensive and loyalty reactions. In study 2 which dealt with die-hard fans (N = 64), it appeared that team identification seems to be the best predictor of team loyalty strategy whereas territorial identification seems to be the first predictor of offensive strategies. Taken together, the st…
The impacts of legitimacy appraisal of defeat on supporters’ identity management strategies: Testing the role of emotions
2022
Emotion is a central feature of many competitive sports. In this regard, re- search revealed that defeats have powerful impacts on athletes who can feel deep- ly distressed or annoyed. Comparatively, relatively few studies have directly ad- dressed the emotional experience of supporters associated with losing teams. This is surprising when taking into account the negative consequences of emotions on intergroup relations (i.e., fans riots). To fill this gap, it is crucial to identify to whom these emotions are addressed. In this study, we proposed that the ob- ject of specific emotions would trigger the use of specific identity management strategies depending on the legitimacy appraisal of t…

Reflections on the human role in AI policy formulations : how do national AI strategies view people?
2022
Abstract Purpose There is no artificial intelligence (AI) without people. People design and develop AI; they modify and use it and they have to reorganize the ways they have carried out tasks in their work and everyday life. National strategies are documents made to describe how different nations foster AI and as human dimensions are such an important aspect of AI, this study sought to investigate major national strategy documents to determine how they view the human role in emerging AI societies. Approach Our method for analyzing the strategies was conceptual analysis since the development of technology is embedded with conceptual ideas of humanity, explicit or implicit, and in addition to…
Vulnerabilidad cognitiva a la hipocondría: intrusiones, valoraciones y creencias disfuncionales/ Cognitive vulnerability to hypochondriasis: intrusio…
2019
La hipocondría es un trastorno caracterizado por el miedo o la creencia de padecer una enfermedad grave a partir de la interpretación negativa de los signos y síntomas corporales. La confirmación por parte de un médico, después de una evaluación exhaustiva, de que el paciente no padece una enfermedad médica, no tiene como resultado una tranquilización segura y duradera. Por lo general, las personas que presentan hipocondría pueden experimentar una reducción de la ansiedad después de visitar al médico, pero esta reducción dura solo horas o días. Cuando se presenta otro síntoma, la ansiedad reaparece y el ciclo de preocupación hipocondríaca se reanuda. Además, la hipocondría se puede manifest…
