The significance of student voice: female students’ interpretations of failure in Tanzanian secondary education
2014
Abstract: In Tanzania, the national examinations are used as the primary tools for selection and transition from lower to upper secondary education. Female students are more likely to fail in the national exams and to drop out from education. This article examines the perspectives of female students concerning their advancement in secondary education. Two sets of qualitative data, responses to a research questionnaire from 100 female lower secondary school students and follow-up interviews with seven mature students enrolled in a non-formal school who had failed in the national examinations, were analysed to identify critical issues influencing the educational advancement of female students…
The diaspora - conflict - peace - nexus : a literature review
2009
This paper seeks to offer a comprehensive literature review on the role and contribution of diasporas to conflicts and peace building. By scanning the existing literature on the conflict – migration nexus and identifying gaps within this literature, this review will thereby serve as the starting point for analysis in the DIASPEACE project. First, the review will provide a general overview of diasporas and conflicts, and will then move on to discuss the various risks faced by diasporas in conflict situations. In this section, the ‘New Wars’ debate will be examined through empirical examples of how diasporas contribute to conflicts in their respective country of origin; the factors influencin…
Diaspora and peace : a comparative assessment of Somali and Ethiopian communities in Europe
2010
The Horn of Africa is affected by numerous longstanding and protracted conflicts with serious humanitarian, socio-economic and political consequences for the entire region and beyond. In the conflict and peace processes, not only are the states concerned, non-state actors, foreign powers and international actors involved, but increasingly diaspora communities who have emerged as actors actively engaging in the respective countries of origin and neighbouring countries. Conflict is often considered a primary cause of migration but in turn can also fuel violent conflicts. The involvement of individual diaspora members and organisations in conflict resolution is manifold and ranges from financi…

Detección de cambios anómalos mediante teledetección
2016
Este trabajo de fin de máster aborda el problema de la detección automática de cambios anómalos ocurridos en la superficie terrestre mediante imágenes satelitales de la Tierra. Dichos cambios implican cualquier variación fuera de lo típicamente esperado que se produzca en un área determinada del planeta. Su detección es muy importante dentro de las ciencias de la Tierra, ya que en el contexto actual de calentamiento global y cambio climático, presentan una importancia muy elevada en la escala global y local, permitiendo descubrir nuevos efectos generados por las actividades humanas que alteren el medio natural, y también posibles desestabilizaciones a gran escala entre los sistemas terrestr…

Effects of a short-term resistance training protocol on risk factors for the metabolic syndrome in the elderly
2016
The metabolic syndrome is strongly associated with negative health outcomes, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and death. The elderly are at particularly high risk of developing the metabolic syndrome, owing to the physiological and behavioural changes associated with aging. The positive influence that resistance training has on the neuromuscular system has long been evident; however, in more recent years, increasing focus has been placed on the role of RT in preventing and treating chronic disease. The majority of studies in the literature suggest that RT has a positive effect on cardiometabolic risk factors. That being said, there remain some inconsistencies. Whether improve…
Kouluikäisten lasten ja nuorten urheiluharrastuksen lopettamiseen yhteydessä olevia tekijöitä
2018
Pro gradu –tutkielmani tarkoituksena oli selvittää syitä lasten ja nuorten urheiluseuraharrastuksen lopettamiseen. Tarkastelun kohteena oli erityisesti se, missä ikävaiheessa urheiluharrastuksen lopettaminen oli suurinta ja oliko sukupuolella tai urheilulajilla yhteyttä urheiluharrastuksen lopettamiseen. Tutkimus oli kvantitatiivinen ja sen aineistona oli Valtion liikuntaneuvoston teettämän ja Jyväskylän Yliopiston toteuttaman LIITU-tutkimuksen aineisto vuodelta 2016. Tutkimuksen kohdejoukko koostui 3., 5., 7. ja 9. -luokan oppilaista (N=7565). Työssäni keskityin tarkastelemaan urheiluseuraharratuksen lopettaneita (N=1531) lapsia ja nuoria. Urheiluharrastuksen lopettamisen syita…
Museum Studies – Bridging Theory and Practice
2021
This book is a handbook for everyone who is interested in museums and the wider cultural and cultural heritage debates. In the spirit of lifelong learning, it aims to connect the humanistic discipline of museum studies with the wider context of society. Museums possess power as safekeepers of our memories. This book will, in its own small way, take part in the discussion of making our past and future memories matter, to show how important it is for us to understand our past. In our contemporary culture it often seems that no time is allowed for this kind of understanding; the constant flow of issues and “must dos” often hinders us from seeing the connections between our past and present. In…
