Analyzing multidimensional movement interaction with generalized cross-wavelet transform
2021
Humans are able to synchronize with musical events whilst coordinating their movements with others. Interpersonal entrainment phenomena, such as dance, involve multiple body parts and movement directions. Along with being multidimensional, dance movement interaction is plurifrequential, since it can occur at different frequencies simultaneously. Moreover, it is prone to nonstationarity, due to, for instance, displacements around the dance floor. Various methodological approaches have been adopted for the study of human entrainment, but only spectrogram-based techniques allow for an integral analysis thereof. This article proposes an alternative approach based upon the cross-wavelet transfor…

The guardians of European football : UEFA Financial Fair Play and the career of social problems
2016
AbstractUEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) policy represents a severe regulatory intervention in European club football competitions. While potential outcomes of the concept have been thoroughly assessed, there is little research on the genesis and background behind its implementation. The present paper fills this gap by analyzing the discourse in the run-up to the passage of FFP. We focus on interpreted practice and context and argue that the rising indebtedness of clubs and their increasing reliance on benefactors were a necessary but not sufficient requirement. Further ingredients imperative for the successful policy development were claims-making activities by influential actors to secure…
Modeling the electromechanical impedance technique for the assessment of dental implant stability
2015
We simulated the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique to assess the stability of dental implants. The technique consists of bonding a piezoelectric transducer to the element to be monitored. When subjected to an electric field, the transducer induces structural excitations which, in turn, affect the transducer's electrical admittance. As the structural vibrations depend on the mechanical impedance of the element, the measurement of the transducer's admittance can be exploited to assess the element's health. In the study presented in this paper, we created a 3D finite element model to mimic a transducer bonded to the abutment of a dental implant placed in a host bone site. We simulate…
Virtual simulation of an osseointegrated trans-humeral prosthesis: A falling scenario
2018
Abstract Introduction Traditional prosthetic solutions expose the amputee to numerous problems that limit his ability to safely perform the normal activities of daily life. In order to eliminate the problems related to the use of the traditional prosthesis with socket, a new technique was developed for fixing the prosthesis to the amputees based on the principle of osseointegration. The aim of this paper is to study and analyze the stress distribution on the interface between a trans-humeral osseointegrated prosthetic implant and the residual bone, identifying the most stressed areas and thus foreseeing possible failure phenomena of the entire prosthetic system and, after, to compare the st…
The associations among fundamental movement skills, self-reported physical activity and academic performance during junior high school in Finland.
2015
The purpose of this study was to analyse the longitudinal associations between (1) fundamental movement skills (FMSs) and academic performance, and (2) self-reported physical activity and academic performance through junior high school in Finland. The participants of the study were 325 Finnish students (162 girls and 163 boys), who were 13 years old at the beginning of the study at Grade 7. Students performed three FMS tests and responded to a self-reported physical activity questionnaire at Grades 7 and 8. Marks in Finnish language, mathematics and history from Grades 7, 8 and 9 were collected. Structural equation modelling with multigroup method demonstrated that in the boys' group, a cor…
Optofluidic microconvection with magnetic nanoparticles: Novel interaction of thermal diffusion and magnetic field
2021
Abstract Light-matter interactions are exploited in many applications, whereas superparamagnetic nanoparticles allow to introduce magnetic field control in diverse fluid environments. We study the structure of laser-induced thermal lens in thin layers of ferromagnetic colloid and predict significant magnetoconvective motion around the beam spot. It was found that localized heating depletes/accumulates magnetic nanoparticles in the beam-spot by thermal diffusion and collective magnetic interactions of nanoparticles produce strong microconvective currents. This mode of mass transport can be controlled by magnetic field. We expect the novel magnetosolutal microconvective coupling, which we des…
