Olen ylpeä puhallinorkkataustastani : Rantasalmen puhallinorkesteri 1979-2009
2011
Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin Rantasalmen puhallinorkesterin toimintaa sen 30‐vuotisen historian ajalta. Tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten puhallinorkesteri on kehittynyt ja millaista sen toiminta on ollut vuosien saatossa. Olennaisessa osassa tutkimusta olivat yksilöiden tuntemat kokemukset ja niiden kautta syntyneet merkitykset koskien ympäröivää yhteisöä. Teoria- ja taustaosuudessa tavoiteltiin aikaisempien tutkimusten ja kirjallisuuden pohjalta tietoa kulttuurin ja yhteisön määrittelystä, soittamisesta harrastuksena sekä hankittiin lisätietoa kansalaisopistoista taiteenperusopetuksen organisaationa. Tutkimusaineisto koostui dokumenteista, kapellimestarien haastatteluista sekä entisten ja…
Taide kulttuurien välisenä siltana : kansainvälinen lasten ja nuorten taidekilpailu ja -näyttely kansainvälisyyskasvattajana 1970-1990
2015
Miten taide ja taidekasvatus voi edistää kansainvälisyyskasvatusta? Mikä taiteessa ja taidekasvatuksessa mahdollistaa tämän kaltaisen toiminnan? Miten kansainvälisyyskasvatus on näkynyt vuonna 1971 perustetun Hyvinkään Kansainvälisen lasten ja nuorten taidekilpailun ja –näyttelyn taustalla vaikuttaneissa tavoitteissa? Miten kansainvälinen taidekilpailu ja -näyttely on toiminut kansainvälisyyskasvattajana? Näihin kysymyksiin etsin vastauksia tässä pro-gradu-tutkielmassani. Kansainvälisyyskasvatus tuli yleiseksi tavoitteeksi toisen maailmansodan jälkeen muodostetun YK:n ja sen kasvatus-, tiede- ja kulttuurijärjestön Unescon kehotuksissa. Etenkin Unescon vuoden 1974 suositus kehotti kasvattama…
One repetition maximum bench press performance: A new approach for its evaluation in inexperienced males and females: A pilot study
2014
Summary The aim of this study was to evaluate a new method to perform the one repetition maximum (1RM) bench press test, by combining previously validated predictive and practical procedures. Eight young male and 7 females participants, with no previous experience of resistance training, performed a first set of repetitions to fatigue (RTF) with a workload corresponding to 1/3 of their body mass (BM) for a maximum of 25 repetitions. Following a 5-min recovery period, a second set of RTF was performed with a workload corresponding to 1/2 of participants’ BM. The number of repetitions performed in this set was then used to predict the workload to be used for the 1RM bench press test using May…
La Sala Parpalló en el Centre Cultural La Beneficència (1995-1999)
2020
During the period 1995-1999, the Sala Parpalló was located in the Beneficència Cultural Center of Valencia, sharing the place with the spaces of the Museum of Prehistory, the Museum of Ethnology and the IVEI. In the investigation it exposed a technical file for each of the 57 self-produced exhibitions carried out in the period and a selection of the studies that accompanied them: the files are displayed chronologically according to the procedures used. The work concludes with the analysis of the objectives that were mainly all the programming: 1) Sala Parpalló as an integrated project; 2) Studies and exhibitions around the Valencian Cultural Imaginary; 3) Analysis of the postmodern crisis; …
Crop Yield Estimation and Interpretability With Gaussian Processes
2021
This work introduces the use of Gaussian processes (GPs) for the estimation and understanding of crop development and yield using multisensor satellite observations and meteo- rological data. The proposed methodology combines synergistic information on canopy greenness, biomass, soil, and plant water content from optical and microwave sensors with the atmospheric variables typically measured at meteorological stations. A com- posite covariance is used in the GP model to account for varying scales, nonstationary, and nonlinear processes. The GP model reports noticeable gains in terms of accuracy with respect to other machine learning approaches for the estimation of corn, wheat, and soybean …
Revisiting agricultural modernisation: Interconnected farming practices driving rural development at the farm level
2019
Abstract Rural development related to agriculture can roughly be divided into two trajectories: 1) agri-industrial development or modernisation, and 2) multifunctional or even post-productivist rural development. The role of these trajectories varies in different rural settings, with different emphases on agricultural production and its conduct. At the farm level, the trajectories evolve from existing farming practices and their connections, which enable or disable different kinds of development. However, the connections through which changes in agricultural production practices contribute to different rural development trajectories deserve further scrutiny. This is addressed with the help …
Climatic gradients along the windward slopes of Mount Kenya and their implication for crop risks. Part 1: climate variability
2012
In tropical mountains, the way topographical gradients translate in terms of intra-seasonal and interannual climate variability (especially rainfall and evapotranspiration) is relatively unknown, yet it is an important issue for agriculture and food security. The eastern slopes of Mount Kenya, in East Africa, with their wide range of agro-ecological conditions, are appropriate for the study of these aspects. Daily (monthly) rainfall data from 11 (24) stations at different elevations and exposures are collected for the period 1961-2006. For the elevation belts suitable for farming and agro-pastoral activities, mostly below 2000 m, it is found that not all rainfall characteristics co-vary wit…
Gender gap in Swiss vocational education and training teachers’ economics content knowledge and the role of teaching experience
2019
In the commercial sector, which is of crucial importance to the Swiss economy among other countries, a large number of apprentices are trained on a vocational education and training programme every year. Besides other subjects, the subject Economics and Society forms an integral part of the vocational education and training curriculum and serves to prepare apprentices for professional, economic and civic participation. Although content knowledge is widely considered necessary to both teaching quality and student achievement, little is known about the subject-specific content knowledge of Swiss Economics and Society teachers. As previous research has shown a gender gap in the content knowled…
