Menneisyyttä ei aina ehdi pukea : taide on tehokkain kommunikaatiomuoto John Deweyn filosofian näkökulmasta
2015
Tämä pro gradu tarkastelee nykykuvataiteen läsnäolon ja kantaaottavuuden muotoja John Deweyn tietoteorian ja taidekäsityksen pohjalta. Tutkimuksen lähtökohtana on yhteisökeskeisyyttä korostava pragmaattinen instrumentalismi, jossa käsitteillä ja teorioilla on välineellinen arvo, joka mitataan siinä miten ne toimivat yhteisössä käytännössä. Tutkimuksen kehyskertomuksen muodostaa yhden kuvataiteilijayhdistyksen rakennekehityksen kymmenvuotisjakso, josta erityisesti kaksi viimeisintä vuotta on liittynyt tämän tutkimuksen valmistumiseen. Fokusryhmänä toiminut kuvataiteilijaryhmä toteutti toimintakokeiluita, jotka johdattivat tutkimaan sosiaalisesti sitoutunutta taidetoimintaa ja siihen soveltuv…
Dung application increases CH4 production potential and alters the composition and abundance of methanogen community in restored peatland soils from …
2018
Peatland restoration via rewetting aims to recover biological communities and biogeochemical processes typical to pristine peatlands. While rewetting promotes recovery of C accumulation favorable for climate mitigation, it also promotes methane (CH4) emissions. The potential for exceptionally high emissions after rewetting has been measured for Central European peatland sites previously grazed by cattle. We addressed the hypothesis that these exceptionally high CH4 emissions result from the previous land use. We analyzed the effects of cattle dung application to peat soils in a short- (2 weeks), a medium- (1 year) and a long-term (grazing) approach. We measured the CH4 production potentials…
Customer satisfaction within a large scale retail trading group: research design and control
2010
Even in contexts where Customer Management techniques are not very advanced, the need for relations with customers is as strong as to suggest expensive ad hoc researches able to simultaneously measure the satisfaction levels, to detect the eventual inadequacy of selling actions, to investigate the relations of customers with competitors. This is why the Grande Migliore Group in Palermo commissioned a research from the University of Palermo. The research was made in year 2008 at 10 Grande Migliore shops in Palermo and in other Western Sicily towns. The multipurpose nature of the research and the features of the customers population suggested the adoption of an ad hoc research design, the fea…
The Influence of Fatigue on Throwing and YBT-UQ Performance in Male Adolescent Handball Players
2020
Purpose: The goal of the present study was to assess the effects of fatigue on throwing and Upper Quarter Y Balance Test (YBT-UQ) performance in male adolescent handball players. We hypothesized that throwing and YBT-UQ performance will be decreased in response to an upper-body fatigue-protocol.Method: All male participants (N = 24, age: 14.8 ± 0.7 yrs) were handball players of a regional youth selection team. A radar gun was used for the assessment of throwing velocity. The YBT-UQ was executed assessing medial, inferolateral and superolateral reach directions normalized to the upper limb length together with a composite score. Immediately following a fatigue protocol of different sets of p…
Strategies for Improving Optimal Positioning of Quality Sensors in Urban Drainage Systems for Non-Conservative Contaminants
2021
In the urban drainage sector, the problem of polluting discharges in sewers may act on the proper functioning of the sewer system, on the wastewater treatment plant reliability and on the receiving water body preservation. Therefore, the implementation of a chemical monitoring network is necessary to promptly detect and contain the event of contamination. Sensor location is usually an optimization exercise that is based on probabilistic or black-box methods and their efficiency is usually dependent on the initial assumption made on possible eligibility of nodes to become a monitoring point. It is a common practice to establish an initial non-informative assumption by considering all network…
Heading at Enabling Settings for Learning
2021
The paper draws on two cases of learning settings that were converted to meet up-to-date educational requirements within these learning contexts. The authors address the role of stakeholder perspectives. Focusing on the learning situation, they present an articulation tool to aid dialogue between key stakeholder perspectives in a (re)design process. Dialogue is a way to figure out relevant issues and to establish the common ground between participants. The goal of a redesign process is that user requirements are well understood, and the design is embedded into local practices, informed of constraints and aware of potential opportunities regarding educational technology.
Coronary bifurcations - anatomy, physiology and treatment with selected aspects of left main stem bifurcation
2021
Bifurkacja wieńcowa jest miejscem szczególnym w obrębie krążenia wieńcowego. Charakterystyczna anatomia oraz cechy przepływu krwi w złożony sposób wiążą się z rozmieszczeniem blaszek miażdżycowych. Wybór strategii leczenia zmian bifurkacji wieńcowych wymaga szczególnej uwagi, gdyż wszelkie powikłania w tym rejonie narażają na niedokrwienie istotnie większy obszar miokardium niż w przypadku pojedynczego naczynia. Niniejsza publikacja stanowi przegląd podstawowych informacji o anatomii, klasyfikacji oraz kolejnych krokach aktualnie zalecanych technik leczenia przezskórnego zmian bifurkacji wieńcowych, poczynając od kwalifikacji, przygotowania, poprzez wybór stentu, po optymalizację efektu zab…

John Dewey e Romano Guardini in dialogo: riflessioni sulla democrazia
2023
Alla luce dei più recenti avvenimenti storico-politici e delle conseguenti sfide educative della tardo-modernità, pare urgente tornare a riflettere su alcune essenziali tematiche, quali la persona e il bene comune. Il presente contributo intende proporre alcune considerazioni pratiche e teoretiche sull’agire democratico, avanzate, nel corso del Novecento, da due pensatori complementari nella loro differenza: John Dewey e Romano Guardini. È soprattutto dal dialogo fra gli scritti Democracy and Education dell’americano e la raccolta Scritti Politici del secondo, che emerge con evidenza l’importanza di ripartire dall’essenza della democrazia per risignificare i principi democratici su cui fond…
Influence of Digital Coaching on Physical Activity : Motivation and Behaviour of Physically Inactive Individuals
2018
Digital wellness solutions and their use have become increasingly common. Respectively, the need to understand their users and usage has increased. A general problem with wellness technologies is that they typically provide feedback through numbers and graphs instead of providing actual guidance. One potential and novel solution for this is digital coaching. This study is one of the first to examine digital coaching features and their influence. We define digital coaching in the context of sports and wellness technology and investigate its influence on physical activity motivation and behaviour of physically inactive individuals. The study is based on thematic analysis of 20 semi-structured…
