Working outside academia? : perceptions of early-career, fixed-term researchers on changing careers

2019

This article examines the perceptions of early-career, fixed-term researchers in Finnish universities towards changing careers. It maps out the reasons this group has considered the change and where they see themselves in five years. As a theoretical framework, a synthesisation of variables related to career change, created by Ryan, Healy, and Sullivan [2012. “Oh, Won’t You Stay? Predictors of Faculty Intent to Leave a Public University.” Higher Education 63: 421–437.], was used. The results show that the most common reasons for early-career researchers to change careers are job-security related stress, job-related dissatisfaction, and salary. Over half of the respondents would like to work…

The effectiveness of a five-session workshop on the distress of international students in Finland – a pilot study

2023

The mental health of international students has become a concern, as they face high levels of psychological distress. We designed a five-week acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) workshop with two additional individual assessment meetings. The intervention aimed at helping international students attending a Finnish university to reduce their symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety, and enhance skills of psychological flexibility. The post-assessment was conducted seven weeks after the pre-measurement. Using data from 53 participants, an evaluation indicated that statistically and clinically significant reductions in symptoms were observed, and the workshop was well received. Regressi…

Prestroke Weight Loss Is Associated With Poststroke Mortality Among Men in the Honolulu-Asia Aging Study

2014

Objective To examine baseline prestroke weight loss and poststroke mortality among men. Design Longitudinal study of late-life prestroke body mass index (BMI), weight loss, and BMI change (midlife to late life) with up to 8-year incident stroke and mortality follow-up. Setting Community-based aging study data. Participants Japanese-American men (N=3581; age range, 71–93y) who were stroke free at baseline. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure Poststroke mortality: 30 days poststroke, analyzed with stepwise multivariable logistic regression; and long-term poststroke (up to 8y), analyzed with stepwise multivariable Cox regression. Results Weight loss (4.5kg decrements) was associ…

Ketone body 3-hydroxybutyrate as a biomarker of aggression

2021

Human aggression is a complex behaviour, the biological underpinnings of which remain poorly known. To gain insights into aggression biology, we studied relationships with aggression of 11 low-molecular-weight metabolites (amino acids, ketone bodies), processed using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We used a discovery sample of young adults and an independent adult replication sample. We studied 725 young adults from a population-based Finnish twin cohort born 1983–1987, with aggression levels rated in adolescence (ages 12, 14, 17) by multiple raters and blood plasma samples at age 22. Linear regression models specified metabolites as the response variable and aggression ratings…

Otoliitin kasvutapa verrattuna somaattisesti kasvavaan luutumaan ja sen vaikutus kasvun takautuvaan määritykseen otoliitista ahvenella (Perca fluviat…

2013

Kalojen kasvaessa myös luut ja suomut kasvavat. Kalan suomuihin muodostuu kasvurenkaita, joista yhdessä syntyy vuosikasvuvyöhyke. Kalan muissa luutumissa on havaittavissa kasvua ilmentävät vyöhykkeet. Kalan pituuskasvua voidaan määrittää takautuvasti näistä kalan suomuissa ja luutumissa ilmenevistä kasvurenkaista. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, kuinka luotettavasti ja millä varauksilla otoliittia on mahdollista käyttää takautuvassa kasvunmäärityksessä ahvenella (Perca fluviatilis L.), kasvunopeudeltaan erilaisilla populaatioilla. Tarkoituksena oli löytää otoliitista parhaiten somaattista kasvua myötäilevä linja. Vertailukohtana käytettiin kiduskannen operculum-luuta. Lisäksi…

Effects of density, species interactions, and environmental stochasticity on the dynamics of British bird communities

2022

Our knowledge of the factors affecting species abundances is mainly based on time-series analyses of a few well-studied species at single or few localities, but we know little about whether results from such analyses can be extrapolated to the community level. We apply a joint species distribution model to long-term time-series data on British bird communities to examine the relative contribution of intra- and interspecific density dependence at different spatial scales, as well as the influence of environmental stochasticity, to spatiotemporal interspecific variation in abundance. Intraspecific density dependence has the major structuring effect on these bird communities. In addition, envi…
