Inkerinsuomalaisten paluumuuttajavanhusten toimeentulo ja hyvinvointi Suomessa

2009

Sosiaaligerontologian pro gradu -tutkielmassani tarkastelen ikääntyneiden inkerinsuomalaisten paluumuuttajien asemaa Suomessa erityisesti hyvinvoinnin ja toimeentulon näkökulmista. Tarkastelussa olen ottanut esille sekä viranomaispuhetta että paluumuuttajavanhusten omia näkemyksiä. Erityisesti kiinnostuksen kohteena on eläkeikäisille ja työkyvyttömille maahanmuuttajille tarkoitettu maahanmuuttajan erityistuki, jota koskeva laki tuli voimaan lokakuussa 2004. Tavoitteena on selvittää, ovatko viranomaisteksteissa maaritellyt ongelmat ja niihin ̈ ̈ ̈ tarjotut ratkaisut kohdanneet inkerinsuomalaisten vanhusten arkielämän, eli onko toimeentuloturvan uudistuksella ollut tavoiteltuja vaikutuksia, j…

Educational research from Tanzania 1998–2008 concerning persons with disabilities: What can we learn?

2014

The global Education For All process and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities have increased the attention given to marginalised and excluded groups showing the need to enhance the education of persons with disabilities. In Sub-Saharan Africa a number of poorly disseminated studies investigate education of persons with disabilities. This paper provides an analysed overview of a decade of Tanzanian studies and reports on the education of persons with disabilities produced from 1998 to 2008. Key findings are highlighted and gaps in the research identified and suggestions are offered for future investigations. The education of persons with disabilities needs to be addre…

Kirjallisuus ja kausaaliset operaattorit : mitä kirjallisuus opettaa moraalista?

2015

Tutkielman tavoitteena on puhua kausaalisen determinismin nojalla kirjallisuuden tiedollisen merkityksen puolesta filosofisia ajatuskokeita vastaan. Pyrkimyksenä on osoittaa, että kirjallisuus voi kertomuksen mittaan pystyttää sellaisen kausaalisten suhteiden välisten ketjun, että niiden välisten merkitysten ymmärtämisen myötä lukija tulee omaksuneeksi tunnekokemukseen perustuvia tietoja ja uskomuksia. Filosofiset ajatuskokeet eivät kykene tuottamaan tällaista kokemukseen perustuvaa vaikutusvoimaa. Argumenttini tämän kokemustiedon puolesta nojaa kausaalisen determinismin jyrkkään muotoon, jonka mukaan kokemukset ohittavat tietoisuuden ja vapaan tahdon portinvartijat, ja ne tuntuvat affektei…

Effects of insulin deficiency on exercise-induced acute responses in the regulation of fatty acid oxidation in mouse gastrocnemius muscles

2014

Insulin is a hormone that plays an important role in the regulation of the metabolism of all the main nutrients. Its main function is to stimulate glucose uptake and disposal or utilization by the cells and thus to decrease blood glucose concentration. However, it also inhibits breakdown of proteins and lipids and promotes their synthesis. Type 1 diabetes is a disease in which insulin secretion is impaired because of destruction of pancreatic β-cells. It is characterized by hyperglycemia and increased reliance on fat oxidation. This is seen also as altered gene expression patterns. The purpose of this study was to look into the effects of insulin deficiency on exercise-induced acute respons…

Strength Training Improves Metabolic Health Markers in Older Individual Regardless of Training Frequency

2019

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of frequency, thereby increasing training volume, of resistance training on body composition, inflammation markers, lipid and glycemic profile in healthy older individuals (age range 65-75 year). Ninety-two healthy participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups; performing strength training one- (EX1), two- (EX2), or three- (EX3) times-per-week and a non-training control (CON) group. Whole-body strength training was performed using 2-5 sets and 4-12 repetitions per exercise and 7-9 exercises per session. All training groups attended supervised resistance training for 6 months. Body composition was measured by dua…

Threats and attitudes toward Russian-speaking immigrants: a comparative study between younger and older Finns

2014

Using integrated threat theory as a theoretical lens to detect negative attitudes toward minority groups, this study compares and contrasts the perceptions and attitudes of older and younger Finns toward Russian-speaking minorities in Finland. A sample of high school students between 16 and 20 years of age represented the younger generation, while individuals over 65 years of age represented the older generation. The total sample was 242. Results indicated that there is a positive correlation between threat perception and prejudice. Results revealed that both groups have prejudices against Russian speakers and that these prejudices are related to the perception of realistic threat and negat…
