Semantic versus thematic clustering of new lexical items : a textbook analysis
2015
Vocabulary acquisition is an essential part of learning a second language, yet textbook designers and language educators often have difficulties with creat-ing such vocabulary acquisition exercises and materials that would best en-hance the development of this crucial skill. There is indeed a growing body of evidence suggesting that semantic clustering of new lexical items impedes L2 vocabulary acquisition, but still semantic clustering is the prevalent meth-od used in contemporary EFL textbooks. This study focused on one EFL book series in particular, which can justifiably be seen as a representative of all contemporary beginner-level EFL textbooks in Finnish elementary schools. The conten…

Can adjunctive corticosteroid therapy improve patient-centered outcomes following third molar surgery? A systematic review
2021
Third molar surgery is frequently associated with postoperative discomfort such as pain, edema and trismus. We aimed to evaluate the current evidence on the efficacy of adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in improving patient-centered outcomes following third molar surgery.This systematic review assessed and searched PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus, web of science, clinicaltrials.gov and Cochrane central for controlled trials, up to May 2021. The primary outcome measures were patient-centered outcomes such as quality of life following the use of adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in third molar removal. Only randomized controlled trials published in English language were included.A total of 355…
Tietoturvaloukkausten analysointi hunajapurkkijärjestelmän avulla
2016
Tutkielmassa vertailtiin tietoturvaloukkausten ja niiden yritysten tunnistamiseen kehitettyjä ohjelmistoja, joita käytetään parantamaan organisaatioiden tietoturvallisuutta. Tutkittiin, miten tietojärjestelmiin pyritään murtautumaan ja mitä murtautujat pyrkivät murretussa tietojärjestelmässä tekemään. Hunajapurkki on tähän tarkoitukseen suunniteltu, mielenkiintoinen, toisaalta myös hieman ristiriitainen työkalu, mikä voidaan toteuttaa suojaamaan tuotantojärjestelmiä tai toimimaan erillisenä tutkimuksen apuvälineenä. Hunajapurkki ottaa vastaan verkkohyökkäyksiä ja mahdollistaa murtautujan toiminnan tietojärjestelmässä siinä laajuudessa, kuin se halutaan mahdollistaa. Hunajapurkkeja käytettäe…
Path-dependencies, constrained transformations and dynamic agency. An accounting case study informed by both ANT and NIS
2013
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the compatibility of actor network theory (ANT) and new institutional sociology (NIS) in analysing a case study of accounting change. Design/methodology/approach – This is an interpretive case study. Findings – The Finnish case city experienced several path-dependent changes concerning performance measurement (PM), financial reporting and the adoption of enterprise resource planning system (ERP). New tools such as the ERP have a potential to transform the actors and to change the agency of the actors. Furthermore, the concepts drawing on both ANT and NIS can together enrich analyses of accounting changes. Research limitations/implications – …

Inter‐individual variation of the urinary steroid profiles in Swedish and Norwegian athletes
2020
The steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) aims to detect doping with endogenous steroids, e.g. testosterone (T), by longitudinally monitoring several biomarkers. These biomarkers are ratios combined of urinary concentrations of testosterone and metabolically related steroids. However, it is evident after five years of monitoring steroid passports, that there are large variations in the steroid ratios complicating its interpretation. In this study, we used over 11 000 urinary steroid profiles from Swedish and Norwegian athletes to determine both the inter‐ and intra‐individual variations of all steroids and ratios in the steroidal passport. Furthermore, we investigated if…
Teacher-child interactions as a context for developing social competence in toddler classrooms
2022
The present study investigates the quality and variability of teacher-child interactions in relation to children’s social competence in Finnish toddler classrooms. The participants included 242 toddlers (114 girls, 128 boys) and their teachers (N= 42). The quality of teacher-child interactions (i.e., emotional and behavioral support; engaged support for learning) was observed using the CLASS-Toddler observation instrument (La Paro et al., 2012), and the average amount of within-day variability was calculated from the observed cycles. Teachers rated toddler’s social competence with the Multisource Assessment of Social Competence Scale (MASCS; Junttila et al., 2006) in relation to the toddler…
