Arvokkaita päätöksiä : puhtaampaan liikennepolttoaineeseen siirtymisen taustalla vaikuttavat arvot potentiaalisten biokaasun suurkäyttäjien keskuudes…

2010

Tässä kvalitatiivisessa tutkimuksessa selvitettiin Jämsän seudun potentiaalisten liikennebiokaasun suurkäyttäjien arvoja hankintapäätöksenteon takana. Biokaasuun sekä arvoihin liittyvää teoriaa esitellään kattavasti tämän tutkimuksen näkökulma huomioiden. Tutkimukseen valittiin harkinnanvaraisesti 8 organisaatiota eri toimialoilta ajosuoritteen rajoittuneisuuteen sekä ajoneuvokannan laajuuteen perustuen. Tutkimusaineisto hankittiin teemahaastatteluin, joiden pohjalta aineistosta löydettiin arvoja ilmentäviä ilmauksia. Nämä tunnistetut arvot nimettiin ja jaettiin arvoluokkiin. Näiden perusteella löydettiin tutkimuskysymyksiin vastauksia. Vaikuttavimmat arvot potentiaalisten suurkäyttäjien ke…

Concurrent endurance and strength training : neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory and hormonal effects of the exercise order in previously untrained and …

2015

The aim of the present thesis was two-fold. First, to investigate physiological adaptations to concurrent endurance and strength training performed in the same session with different exercise orders (i.e. commencing training with endurance or strength, respectively; E+S vs. S+E) in previously untrained men (n=42) (study 1). Second, to examine physiological adaptations when strength training was always performed immediately after endurance running in the same session (E+S) compared to endurance training alone (E) in recreational endurance runners (n=30) (study 2). In study 1, training consisted of 2 - 3 weekly combined endurance cycling and mixed hypertrophic and maximal strength training se…

Effects of 24 weeks of single session combined strength and endurance training on body composition and fitness : examination of order effect

2013

Küüsmaa, Maria 2013. Effects of 24 weeks of single session combined strength and endurance training on body composition and fitness: examination of order effect. Department of Biology of Physical Activity, University of Jyväskylä. Master’s Thesis in Science of Sport Coaching and Fitness Testing. 82 pp. Endurance and strength training are often performed concurrently. The question of whether the order of exercise yields to different adaptations in body composition, when strength (S) and endurance training (E) are combined into the same training session, has received only limited scientific attention. In addition, neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory adaptations to single session combined trai…

Effect of Combining Impact-Aerobic and Strength Exercise, and Dietary Habits on Body Composition in Breast Cancer Survivors Treated with Aromatase In…

2023

This study examines both the effect of a twice-weekly combined exercise—1 h session of strength and 1 h session of impact-aerobic—on body composition and dietary habits after one year of treatment with aromatase inhibitors (AI) in breast cancer survivors. Overall, forty-three postmenopausal women with a BMI ≤ 35 kg/m2, breast cancer survivors treated with AI, were randomized into two groups: a control group (CG) (n = 22) and a training group (IG) (n = 21). Body composition, i.e., abdominal, visceral, and subcutaneous adipose tissue) was measured by magnetic resonance. In addition, some questionnaires were used to gather dietary data and to measure adherence to the Mediterranean diet. After …

Inflammation status of healthy young men : initial and specific responses to resistance training

2018

Our primary aim was to study the effects of a 4-week preparatory resistance-training (RT) period followed by 12 weeks of 2 specific RT protocols (either hypertrophic-strength (HS) or strength-hypertrophy-power training) on inflammation markers and the possible relationship of the changes in abdominal fat and lean mass to the changes in inflammation status. A total of 82 healthy men were included in the study. Maximal concentric leg press strength (1-repetition maximum), total body lean mass, total body and abdominal fat mass, circulating high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and selected ad…

Regular Strength and Sprint Training Counteracts Bone Aging: a 10- year Follow-up in Male Masters Athletes

2021

According to cross-sectional and interventional studies, high-intensity strength and impact-type training provide a powerful osteogenic stimulus even in old age. Longitudinal evidence on the ability of high-intensity training to attenuate age-related bone deterioration is currently lacking, however. This follow-up study assessed the role of continued strength and sprint training on bone aging in 40- to 85-year-old male sprinters (n=69) with long-term training background. pQCT-derived bone structural, strength and densitometric parameters of the distal tibia (5% distal-proximal tibia length) and tibial midshaft (50% length) were assessed at baseline and after 10 years. The groups of well-tra…

Kun brändistä tulee media : miksi brändijournalismia kulutetaan ja kuinka sen sisällöt koetaan?

2015

Perinteisen mainonnan menettäessä tehoaan organisaatiot ovat keskittyneet omaan sisällöntuotantoonsa, ja monet brändit ovat muuttuneet mediasisältöjen tuottajiksi ja julkaisijoiksi. Nämä brändijournalismin kaltaiset mainonnan uudet muodot ja journalistiset brändisisällöt ovat puhututtaneet journalismin, viestinnän ja markkinoinnin ammattilaisia, mutta ala vaatii tutkimustietoa toiminnan tueksi. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli luoda ymmärrystä brändijournalismin ilmiöstä kuluttajan näkökulmasta selvittämällä, mihin tarpeisiin sisältöjä kulutetaan, miten sisällöt koetaan ja mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat sisältöjen kokemiseen ja niihin suhtautumiseen. Tavoittee…

Novel concepts on the recovery of by-products from alkaline pulping

2016

Innovative biorefinery concepts were developed for the separation and utilization of organic materials, especially aliphatic carboxylic acids, lignin, and extractives, which are formed as by-products during wood-based alkaline delignification processes. The partial recovery of sodium as NaOH and aliphatic carboxylic acids from hardwood soda-AQ black liquor was studied via electrodialysis. The lignin was partly (about 59 % of the initial lignin) precipitated from black liquor by carbonation (pH to about 8.5) followed by electrodialysis or H2SO4 (pH to about 2), with subsequent precipitation of more lignin and the liberation of aliphatic acids. The Na2SO4 formed was successfully separated fro…
