Brain Responses to Letters and Speech Sounds and Their Correlations With Cognitive Skills Related to Reading in Children
2018
Letter-speech sound (LSS) integration is crucial for initial stages of reading acquisition. However, the relationship between cortical organization for supporting LSS integration, including unimodal and multimodal processes, and reading skills in early readers remains unclear. In the present study, we measured brain responses to Finnish letters and speech sounds from 29 typically developing Finnish children in a child-friendly audiovisual integration experiment using magnetoencephalography. Brain source activations in response to auditory, visual and audiovisual stimuli as well as audiovisual integration response were correlated with reading skills and cognitive skills predictive of reading…
Search for double-\beta decay of \{106}Cd by using isotopically enriched \{106}CdWO_{4} crystal scintillator
2012
A search for double β processes in 106Cd was carried out at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of the INFN (Italy) by using a CdWO4 crystal scintillator (mass of 215 g) enriched in 106Cd up to 66%. After 6590 h of data taking, half-life limits on double beta processes in 106Cd were set at level of 1019 −1021 yr. A possible resonant enhancement of the 0ν2ε processes has also been estimated in the framework of the QRPA approach. peerReviewed
Search for double-\beta decay processes in \{106}Cd with the help of a \{106}CdWO_{4} crystal scintillator
2012
A search for double β processes in 106Cd was carried out at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of the INFN (Italy) with the help of a 106CdWO4 crystal scintillator (215 g) enriched in 106Cd up to 66%. After 6590 h of data taking, new improved half-life limits on the double β decay processes in 106Cd were established at the level of 1019–1021 yr; in particular, T 2νεβ+ 1/2 2.1 × 1020 yr, T 2ν2β+ 1/2 4.3 × 1020 yr, and T 0ν2ε 1/2 1.0 × 1021 yr. The resonant neutrinoless double-electron captures to the 2718-, 2741-, and 2748-keV excited states of 106Pd are restricted to T 0ν2K 1/2 4.3 × 1020 yr, T 0νKL1 1/2 9.5 × 1020 yr, and T 0νKL3 1/2 4.3 × 1020 yr, respectively (all limits at 90% confide…
Search for 2-beta decays of 96^Ru and 104^Ru by ultralow-background HPGe gamma spectrometry at LNGS: Final Results
2013
An experiment to search for double-β decay processes in 96Ru and 104Ru, which are accompanied by γ rays, has been realized in the underground Gran Sasso National Laboratories of the I.N.F.N. (Italy). Ruthenium samples with masses of ≈0.5–0.7 kg were measured with the help of ultralow-background high-purity Ge γ -ray spectrometry. After 2162 h of data taking the samples were deeply purified to reduce the internal contamination of 40K. The last part of the data has been accumulated over 5479 h. New improved half-life limits on 2β+/εβ+/2ε processes in 96Ru have been established on the level of 1020 yr, in particular for decays to the ground state of 96Mo: T 2ν2β+ 1/2 1.4 × 1020 yr, T 2νεβ+ 1/2…

Developing mixed methods research in sport and exercise psychology: potential contributions of a critical realist perspective
2020
Notwithstanding diverse opinions and debates about mixing methods, mixed methods research (MMR) is increasingly being used in sport and exercise psychology. In this paper, we describe MMR trends within leading sport and exercise psychology journals and explore critical realism as a possible underpinning framework for conducting MMR. Our meta-study of recent empirical mixed methods studies published in 2017–2019 indicates that eight (36%) of the 22 MMR studies explicitly stated a paradigmatic position (five drew on pragmatism, two switched paradigms between qualitative and quantitative elements of the study, and one was situated in relativist-interpretivism). The remaining 14 (64%) studies d…
Online and face-to-face role-play simulations in promoting social work students’ argumentative problem-solving
2013
This paper reports on a teaching experiment in which social work students (n=38) practiced problem solving through argumentative tasks. A teaching experiment was carried out at a Mikkeli University of Applied Sciences in Finland in connection with a course concerning preventative work against alcohol- and drug abuse. This quasiexperimental study investigated whether role-play simulation conducted either online (15 students) or face-to-face (14 students) improved students’ problem solving on social issues. As a pre-test, the students wrote an essay after having watched a dramatization of problematic cases on elderly people’s use of alcohol. The students also attended lectures (30 x 45 min) o…

Test-Taking Motivation in Education Students: Task Battery Order Affected Within-Test-Taker Effort and Importance
2020
Different types of tasks exist, including tasks for research purposes or exams assessing knowledge. According to expectation-value theory, tests are related to different levels of effort and importance within a test taker. Test-taking effort and importance in students decreased over the course of high-stakes tests or low-stakes-tests in research on test-taking motivation. However, whether test-order changes affect effort, importance, and response processes of education students have seldomly been experimentally examined. We aimed to examine changes in effort and importance resulting from variations in test battery order and their relations to response processes. We employed an experimental …
