Comparing Guidance via Implicit and Explicit Model Progressions in a Collaborative Inquiry-Based Learning Environment with Different-Aged Learners
2022
There is a need for research on the effect of different types of model progressions and learner age on learning and engagement in inquiry-based science settings. This study builds on the Scientific Discovery as Dual Search model to introduce less specific implicit model progression and compares them to the traditional explicit model progression. The data come from Finnish 8-, 10-, and 12-year-olds collaboratively using two different configurations of an inquiry-based learning environment about balance. Balance scale tasks were used to assess learning. Students also rated their situation-specific engagement. Both types of model progressions were beneficial for learning but there was no diffe…
Kauppaketjun taloudellisen benchmarking-tunnuslukujärjestelmän kehittäminen
2015
Tunnuslukuanalyysi on eräs keskeisistä yritysten taloudellista asemaa kuvaavista välineistä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on luoda eräälle huonekalujen vähittäiskauppaa harjoittavien liikkeiden pääkonttorille suoritusmittaristo, joka kertoo kauppiasliikkeiden taloudellisesta tilanteesta tunnuslukujen avulla. Suoritusmittaristo pohjautuu yritysten tilinpäätöstietoihin ja tärkeänä osana tutkimusta on varsinaisen suoritusmittariston kehitysprosessi, sekä sen selvittäminen, mitkä tunnusluvut ovat kyseisellä alalla taloudellista tilannetta parhaiten kuvaavia. Erilaisten ohjausjärjestelmien kehitystyö on haasteellinen prosessi. Usein pitkäkestoinen prosessi vaatii aktiivista osallistumista kok…
Aiming strategy affects performance-related factors in biathlon standing shooting
2021
This study focused on investigating differences in shooting performance and performance related factors between two different aiming strategies (HOLD, low radial velocity during the approach 0.4‐0.2 seconds before triggering, and TIMING, high radial velocity) in biathlon standing shooting. 23 biathletes fired 8x5 standing shots at rest (REST) and 2x5 shots during a race simulation (RACE). Shooting performance (hit point distance from the center of the target), aiming point trajectory and postural balance were measured from each shot. Shooting performance was similar both at REST (HOLD 33±5 mm vs TIMING 38±8 mm, p=0.111) and in RACE (40±11 mm vs 47±12 mm, p=0.194). Better shooting performanc…
Conciliazione vita-lavoro in Italia e in Europa
2020
Il saggio analizza le misure adottate, sia in ambito comunitario che interno, per dare risposta alle esigenze di conciliazione. Tali interventi sono stati caratterizzati da un’evoluzione determinata dall’affermazione del principio di condivisione egualitaria dei ruoli e delle responsabilità genitoriali all’interno della famiglia. The essay analyses the measures adopted to respond to the needs of conciliation, both at Community and national level. These interventions have been characterized by an evolution, determined by the affirmation of the principle of equitable sharing of roles and of parental responsibilities within the family.

Oxygen uptake, acid-base balance and hormonal responses in maximal 300 - 400 m running in child, adolescent and adult athletes
2013
Vilmi, Nikke (2013). Oxygen uptake, acid-base balance and hormonal responses in maximal 300 - 400 m running in child, adolescent and adult athletes. Department of Biology of Physical Activity, University of Jyväskylä, Master's thesis, Science of Sport Coaching and Fitness Testing, 55 pp. The 400 m sprint demands both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. During the race the acid-base balance of the body is disturbed and that has effects on the oxygen uptake. The purpose of this study was to investigate the oxygen uptake and acid-base balance during and after the maximal anaerobic running test in child (300 m), adolescent (350 m) and adult (400 m) athletes. Furthermore, the aim was also to d…
A CNN Adaptive Model to Estimate PM10 Monitoring
2006
In this work we introduce a model for studying the distribution and control of atmospheric pollution from PM10. The model is based on the use of a cellular neural network (CNN) and more precisely on the integration of the mass-balance equation; at the same time it simulates the scenario regarding a planar grid describing the whole studied area (the city of Palermo) by means of a CNN and a set of Bayesian networks. The CNN allows us to define a grid system whose dynamic evolution is a redefinition of the diffusion equation that considers contributions coming from near cells for each element of the grid. Dynamics of each cell is influenced by meteorological effects and by parameters related t…
Subjective stress, objective heart rate variability-based stress, and recovery on workdays among overweight and psychologically distressed individual…
2015
Background: The present study aimed to investigate how subjective self-reported stress is associated with objective heart rate variability (HRV)-based stress and recovery on workdays. Another aim was to investigate how physical activity (PA), body composition, and age are associated with subjective stress, objective stress, and recovery. Methods: Working-age participants (n = 221; 185 women, 36 men) in this cross-sectional study were overweight (body mass index, 25.3-40.1 kg/m(2)) and psychologically distressed (>= 3/12 points on the General Health Questionnaire). Objective stress and recovery were based on HRV recordings over 1-3 workdays. Subjective stress was assessed by the Perceived St…
School-related bullying : analysis of bullying preventive programs and analysis of power from perspective of social philosophy
2017
The present thesis is dedicated to a problem of school-related bullying. Bullying is a global problem that affect big number of students, and has serious short- and long-term consequences. Bullying can be manifested in various forms: it can be physical, emotional, and lately also cyber-bullying. Being a complex phenomenon, bullying can be difficult to identify, to intervene or prevent. It originates from power imbalance in a social group, and can target anyone who qualifies as “different” in any way. In order to provide analysis of bullying, in the present paper are presented definitions and analysis of the phenomenon of bullying as well global statistics of bullying across the countries in…
