Replacing short-haul flights with land-based transportation modes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: the case of Finland
2019
Even though air travel often provides the fastest transport option, it also has the highest climate impact. Especially on long-haul trips, an aircraft usually represents the only feasible option. Nevertheless, aircraft are more often used on short-haul routes as well. It is the short-haul flights that produce the highest emissions per passenger. These are also the ones that could be replaced the most easily by land-based transportation modes. This study investigates the greenhouse gas emissions reduction potential of replacing short-haul flights with train, coach and car travel within Finland while also taking into account real travel times from door to door. Our results showed that replaci…

In Search of Determinants of Time-Discounting in Monetary Choices : Personal Characteristics Matter Only a Little
2022
Time-discounting in monetary choices is determined by aspects related to the reward, contextual factors and characteristics of a person. In the present study, we used three datasets (Ndata1 = 419; Ndata2 = 485; Ndata3 = 240) to examine how well personal characteristics (sociodemographic, financial situation, self-control, cognitive abilities, negative experiencing, and trustfulness) predict time-discounting in both hypothetical and real reward scenarios. The results of the regression analyses indicate that the characteristics of a person only explain a small proportion of the variance in time-discounting (R2 ranged from .10 to .19). The only substantive predictors of time-discounting in mon…

Karaistumisen ja lisääntymisdiapaussin vaikutukset Drosophila montana -mahlakärpästen kylmänkestävyyteen
2011
Kylmyys on yksi tärkeimmistä lajien levinneisyyteen ja runsauteen vaikuttavista stressitekijöistä. Karaistuminen ja lisääntymisdiapaussi ovat esimerkkejä hyönteisten fysiologisesta ja biokemiallisesta sopeutumista mataliin lämpötiloihin. Karaistumisella tarkoitetaan lyhyen ajan sisällä tapahtuvaa kylmänkestävyyden kasvamista, ja sillä voi olla huomattava vaikutus kylmistä olosuhteista selviytymiseen. Lisääntymisdiapaussin laukaisee ympäristöstä tulevat ärsykkeet, kuten muutokset päivän pituudessa ja lämpötilassa. Se parantaa naaraiden mahdollisuuksia selvitä epäedullisista vuodenajoista ja siirtää jälkeläisten tuoton ajankohtaan jolloin munien ja jälkeläisten selviytyminen on parhaimmillaan…
Laika jēdziens dažādās kultūrās
2019
Maģistra darba izpētes priekšmets ir laika jēdziens dažādās kultūrās un valodās, kā tas izpaužas metaforās un gramatisko laiku sistēmā, kas atspoguļo laika uztveri angļu valodā. Laika uztvere ir atkarīga no cilvēku dzīvesveida, tradīcijām un uzskatiem. Kultūra ir saistīta ar valodu, tāpēc laika jēdziens dažādās kultūrās atspoguļo, kā cilvēki izmanto laiku darbā un citās jomās, bet laika jēdziens dažādās valodās attēlo, kā cilvēki attēlo laiku metaforās, un kādus gramatiskos laikus vai aspektus viņi izmanto. Laika metaforas un citi izteicieni parasti atbilst laika uztverei vai orientācijai, kas ir raksturīgas noteiktai kultūrai. Laika metaforas ir dažādos literatūras žanros, un tajos laika j…
Oxidation of silicon nanoparticles produced by ns laser ablation in liquids
2014
The investigation of nanoparticles produced by ns pulsed Nd:YAG laser ablation of silicon in liquids is reported. Combined characterization by morphological and structural techniques shows that these nanoparticles have a mean diameter of ~3 nm and a core-shell structure consisting of a Si-nanocrystal surrounded by a layer of oxidized Si. Time resolved luminescence spectra evidence visible and UV emissions: a broad band around 1.9 eV originates from Si-nanocrystals, while two bands centered at 2.7 eV and 4.4 eV are associated with oxygen deficient centers in the SiO2 shell.
VIRTUAL REALITY FOR HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE
2019
Abstract. This article shows a first step in the development of an immersive virtual tour of the Cathedral of Palermo, entering the fields of Digital Cultural Heritage and Edutainment. Its purpose is to help people to gain knowledge about the site, highlighting the complex stratifications that have characterized its history.The development of the project has been possible thanks to different phases of work: surveys were initially carried out by laser scanning, then assembled and processed to obtain the 3D model of the current state; at the same time, the model of reconstruction was processed in several phases, based on historical, archival and iconographic sources; both models were, later, …
