"Yritän hoitaa oman pienen osani" : yksilön kokemuksia ympäristövastuullisesta ja riskitietoisesta elämänpolitiikasta
2015
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kartoittaa yksilön ympäristövastuullisten valintojen reunaehtoja, rajoitteita ja kannustimia yksilön omien kertomusten kautta. Lisäksi tavoitteena on valottaa yksilön elämänpoliittista toimijuutta ympäristövastuullisuuden suhteen. Teoriatausta rakentuu riskiyhteiskuntateorian, elämäntapa- ja elämänpolitiikkatutkimuksen, sekä yksilön ympäristöpoliittisuutta käsittelevän teoretisoinnin ympärille, ja teorian ja aineiston avulla pyritään rakentamaan ja syventämään kuvaa yksilön ympäristöelämänpoliittisuudesta. Tutkimusaineisto muodostuu Suomen Kirjallisuuden Seuran vuosina 2010-2011 keräämistä temaattisista elämäkertateksteistä, joissa kirjoittajat ovat käsitelleet …
An IPMSM torque/weight and torque/moment of inertia ratio optimization
2014
In this paper, a torque/weight and torque/moment of inertia ratio optimization procedure for interior permanent magnet syncronous motors (IPMSMs) is presented. More in detail, a performance comparison between several IPMSM rotor structures has been carried out in order to determine the optimum geometry that can maximize the torque/weight and torque/moment of inertia ratios. A commercial motor, with known electrical and mechanical characteristics, has been taken as reference. Its rotor structure has been modified several times, obtaining different rotor geometries and, therefore, many IPMSM models with different electrical and mechanical characteristics. The finite element method (FEM) analy…
Western Australian students' alcohol consumption and expenditure intentions for Schoolies.
2016
In Australia, the immediate post-school period (known as ‘Schoolies’) is associated with heavy drinking and high levels of alcohol-related harm. This study investigated students’ intended alcohol consumption during Schoolies to inform interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm among this group. An online survey was administered to students in their senior year of schooling. Included items related to intended daily alcohol consumption during Schoolies, amount of money intended to be spent on alcohol over the Schoolies period, and past drinking behaviour. On average, participants (n=187) anticipated that they would consume eight standard drinks per day, which is substantially higher than t…
Bladder tumours in children: An interesting case report of TCC with a partial inverted growth pattern.
2014
Bladder urothelial carcinoma is typically a disease of older individuals and rarely occurs below the age of 40 years. There is debate and uncertainty in the literature regarding the clinicopathologic and prognostic characteristics of bladder urothelial neoplasms in younger patients compared with older patients, although no consistent age criteria have been used to define "younger" age group categories. We report on a 16 years old girl with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder with a partial inverted growth pattern who presented with gross hematuria. Ultrasonography revealed a papillary lesion in the bladder; cystoscopic evaluation showed a 15 mm papillary lesion with a thick stalk loc…
Intolerance of Uncertainty and Risk Perception during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Mediating Role of Fear of COVID-19
2022
The COVID-19 pandemic, a period of uncertainty and risk, has presented a threat to people’s physical and mental health worldwide. Previous research has shown that pandemic-related uncertainty can contribute to individuals’ psychological distress and coping responses. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and risk perception (i.e., individual’s perceived likelihood of becoming infected both for themselves and people in one’s own country and perceived severity of the infection), and the mediating role of fear of COVID-19. This two-wave longitudinal study (T1 = April 2020; T2 = May 2020) involved 486 youn…
Consumption of ultra-processed foods : an assessment of the literature on determinants of ultra-processed food consumption and an investigation of th…
2016
Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Background Highly processed foods have been classified as ultra-processed, and consumption of such foodstuffs have expanded rapidly over the last decades. Ultra-processed foods are characterized as being accessible, attractive, palatable and often time-saving. An excess intake of ultra-processed foods has been associated with increased risk of e.g. overweight/obesity and diabetes type II. The aim of this master’s project was to investigate factors influencing consumption of ultra-processed foods. This resulted in one review paper on young adults, and one cross-sectional study where the association between time scarcity and ultra…
Pienten lasten osallisuus vuorohoidon iltojen vuorovaikutustilanteissa
2021
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan, kuinka pienten lasten osallisuus toteutuu vuorohoidon iltojen vuorovaikutustilanteissa ja millaisia haasteita tähän liittyy. Aineisto kerättiin havainnoimalla 20–36 kk ikäisten lasten iltoja kahdessa erilaisessa vuoropäiväkodissa. Temaattisen analyysin perustana toimivat Lundyn (2007) kuvaamat, Yhdistyneiden Kansakuntien (YK) lapsen oikeuksien sopimuksen artiklaan 12 pohjautuvat lasten osallisuuden edellytykset. Huomion kohteena olivat erityisesti työntekijöiden toiminta ja sen lapsille luomat mahdollisuudet ilmaista mielipiteitään sekä tulla kuulluksi ja huomioiduksi. Muuttuva iltaryhmä sekä päiväkodin rutiinit ja säännöt rajoittivat toisinaan lasten osallisuud…
Trapped? Exploring the lives of young women in France and England who are labelled NEET and economically inactive
2021
International audience; Through a comparison of France and the UK, this paper analyses the position of young women who are defined as not in education, employment or training (NEET) and economically inactive (EI). Little is known about the NEET EI group and how this status shapes young people’s lives during school-to-work transition. Consequently, the NEET EI group remains a ‘hidden’ problem in many countries and impacts to a much greater extent on young women, due to their propensity to assume caring responsibilities. Despite France and the UK having very different types of policy intervention and welfare support, there are similarities between them in terms of NEET EI populations and the …
Introduction. Vulnérabilités et incidences sur les parcours d’entrée dans la vie adulte : les jeunes une population spécifique ?
2018
Au 1er janvier 2018, la France compte 67,2 millions d’habitants. Le vieillissement de la population française se poursuit. Les personnes de 65 ans ou plus représentent 19,6 % de la population, contre 19,2 % un an auparavant. Vingt ans plus tôt, elles ne représentaient que 15,5 % de la population. À l’opposé, la population âgée de moins de 20 ans représente 24,4 % de la population (contre 26 % en 1998) (Papon et Beaumel, 2018). Parmi les jeunes, les données Eurostat montrent que 9,3 % d’entre ...
