Kotimaiset tieteelliset julkaisut ja avoimuus
2020
This study examines open access availability and self-archiving policies of 336 Finnish peer reviewed journals and serials which are classified at levels 1 to 3 in national Publication Forum. The study concludes that 53 % of Finnish peer reviewed publication channels are open access and 12 % of non-open access publication channels have defined their green open access policy to allow self-archiving. 6 % of publications practice delayed open access model and 2 % hybrid model. The study also concludes that only a small group of Finnish peer reviewed journals meet the focal Plan S requirements. peerReviewed
Cyclists' Perception of Maintenance and Operation of Cycling Infrastructure—Results From a Norwegian Survey
2021
Aasvik O and Bjørnskau T (2021) Cyclists’ Perception of Maintenance and Operation of Cycling Infrastructure—Results From a Norwegian Survey. Front. Psychol. 12:696317. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.696317 The Norwegian authorities want to limit the extent of car use in city areas to existing levels. Such a limitation would help combat climate change, improve health of citizens, and alleviate congestion. This implies that any further increase in transport needs will have to be met by walking, cycling and use of public transport. Reaching this ambitious goal requires knowledge about cyclists' preferences concerning operation and maintenance (M&O) of roads and foot/cycle paths. Previous research sug…

The Associations Between Leisure-Time Physical Activity and Academic Performance: A Twin Study
2021
Background: Both genetic and environmental influences have been shown to contribute to the association between physical activity and overall academic performance. The authors examined whether leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) shares genetic and environmental variances between spelling, essay writing, reading aloud, reading comprehension, and mathematics in early adolescence. Moreover, they investigated whether genetic polymorphisms associated with physical activity behavior affect these academic skills. Methods: Participants were 12-year-old Finnish twins (n = 4356–4370 twins/academic skill, 49% girls). Academic skills were assessed by teachers, and LTPA was self-reported. Polygenic sco…
Disrupting neural activity related to awake-state sharp wave-ripple complexes prevents hippocampal learning
2012
Oscillations in hippocampal local-field potentials (LFPs) reflect the crucial involvement of the hippocampus in memory trace formation: theta (4–8 Hz) oscillations and ripples (~200 Hz) occurring during sharp waves are thought to mediate encoding and consolidation, respectively. During sharp wave-ripple complexes (SPW-Rs), hippocampal cell firing closely follows the pattern that took place during the initial experience, most likely reflecting replay of that event. Disrupting hippocampal ripples using electrical stimulation either during training in awake animals or during sleep after training retards spatial learning. Here, adult rabbits were trained in trace eyeblink conditioning, a hippoc…
Longitudinal Effects of the Home Learning Environment and Parental Difficulties on Reading and Math Development Across Grades 1–9
2020
This study focuses on parental reading and mathematical difficulties, the home literacy environment, and the home numeracy environment as well as their predictive role in Finnish children’s reading and mathematical development through Grades 1–9. We examined if parental reading and mathematical difficulties directly predict children’s academic performance and/or if they are mediated by the home learning environment. Mothers (n = 1590) and fathers (n = 1507) reported on their reading and mathematical difficulties as well as on the home environment (shared reading, teaching literacy, and numeracy) when their children were in kindergarten. Tests for reading fluency, reading comprehension, and …
The Rise and Fall of the Unhasu Orchestra
2018
The Ŭnhasu Orchestra was a major North Korean ensemble in 2009–2013. It was established by Kim Jong Il (Kim Chŏng’il, 김정일) and was composed of young musicians and singers of both genders, several of them having studied in foreign higher educational institutions in countries like Austria, Italy, Russia and China. Its members represented the core class of the North Korean society. It was ostensibly meant to display the high quality of North Korean art and engage at this level also in international cultural diplomacy, both in terms of physical visits, and in terms of DVD and internet publishing. In addition to domestic concerts, the Ŭnhasu Orchestra performed with visiting Russian artists, and…
Movimientos sociales y conflictos territoriales. El caso de Barcelona y Valencia
2014
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la evolución de los movimientos sociales a través del estudio de los conflictos territoriales y urbanos que implican cambios de uso del suelo a través de proyectos y planes territoriales en ambas ciudades en la última década (2002-2012). Durante la década somos testigos de una profunda transformación en los tipos de conflictos que surgen en estas ciudades: desde las conflictos-NIMBY tradicionalmente reactivos y aislados a los movimientos de protesta más amplios, como el movimiento 15 en esta década de 2010. Estos nuevos movimientos no solo participan activamente en los asuntos relacionados con la gestión del uso del suelo como los grandes proyectos de…
Assessing the profitability of investment projects using ordered fuzzy numbers
2019
Background: This article is motivated by the fact that most approaches to capital budgeting are deterministic. In reality, the capital budgeting problem is accompanied by the uncertainty and risk associated with dealing with imprecise data. Taking this uncertainty into account when performing analyses and calculations not only helps to better measure the profitability of investment projects, but also to expand the applicability of capital budgeting methods under real-life or uncertain conditions. The major contribution of this paper is the development of a novel approach to assessing the profitability of an investment project in the presence of uncertainty. Methods: We present a novel appro…
Breve storia degli extranei nella magistratura italiana. Giudici onorari, avvocati e professori universitari immessi nella magistratura dall’Unità d’…
2019
Il vocabolo “extraneus”, preso in prestito da categorie concettuali di altre branche del diritto, può essere foriero di ambiguità. Esso definisce, appunto, un un estraneo: un forestiero che ha fatto ingresso nella magi-stratura (o per lo meno nelle sue funzioni), attraverso una via eccentrica rispetto al tradizionale concorso. Lo studio si propone di ricostruire le origine storiche delle tre figure di extranei, nel senso sopra indicato: scil: magistrati onorari da una parte e avvocati e professori universitari ammessi in Cassazione ex art. 106 Cost. dall’altra.Verrà esaminata anche la riforma organica della magistra-tura onoraria (d.lgs. 116/2017), soffermandosi sugli aspetti processuali.
