Diurnal Cycle Relationships between Passive Fluorescence, PRI and NPQ of Vegetation in a Controlled Stress Experiment
2017
In order to estimate vegetation photosynthesis from remote sensing observations; some critical parameters need to be quantified. From all absorbed light; the plant needs to release any excess that is not used for photosynthesis; by non-photochemical quenching; by fluorescence emission and unregulated thermal dissipation. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) processes are controlled photoprotective mechanisms which; once activated; strongly control the dynamics of photochemical efficiency. With illumination conditions increasing and decreasing during a diurnal cycle; photoprotection mechanisms needs to change accordingly. The goal of this work is to quantify dynamic NPQ; measured from active fl…
A four-session acceptance and commitment therapy based intervention for depressive symptoms delivered by masters degree level psychology students: a …
2013
Background:Depressive symptoms are one of the main reasons for seeking psychological help. Shorter interventions using briefly trained therapists could offer a solution to the ever-rising need for early and easily applicable psychological treatments.Aims:The current study examines the effectiveness of a four-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based treatment for self-reported depressive symptoms administered by Masters level psychology students.Method:This paper reports the effectiveness of a brief intervention compared to a waiting list control (WLC) group. Participants were randomized into two groups: ACT (n= 28) and waiting list (n= 29). Long-term effects were examined using…
Studying Gamow-Teller transitions and the assignment of isomeric and ground states at $N=50$
2022
Direct mass measurements of neutron-deficient nuclides around the N=50 shell closure below $^{100}$Sn were performed at the FRS Ion Catcher (FRS-IC) at GSI, Germany. The nuclei were produced by projectile fragmentation of $^{124}$Xe, separated in the fragment separator FRS and delivered to the FRS-IC. The masses of 14 ground states and two isomers were measured with relative mass uncertainties down to 1×10−7 using the multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer of the FRS-IC, including the first direct mass measurements of $^{98}$Cd and $^{97}$Rh. A new QEC=5437±67 keV was obtained for $^{98}$Cd, resulting in a summed Gamow-Teller (GT) strength for the five observed transitions (0+…
Prometheus-leirit kasvun areenana
2019
Artikkelissa käsitellään Prometheus-leirien vaikutusta leiriläisiin. Tutkimus on monimenetelmäinen aineistolähtöinen tutkimus ja asettuu nuorisotutkimuksen monitieteiseen kenttään. Tulkinnat pohjautuvat leirien osallistujilta leirikesän 2017 aikana ja jälkeen koottuihin kirjoitelmiin ja videopäiväkirjoihin sekä verkkokyselyyn. Tutkimusote korostaa leiriläisten omia tulkintoja. Jäsentävänä käsitteenä käytetään maailmankuvien kehitystä. Aineistossa rakentuu tarina itseymmärryksen syvenemisestä ja leirin vaikuttavuuden prosessinomaisuudesta. Leirien vaikutus näyttää myös keskittyvän pikemminkin sosiaalisiin taitoihin kuin tietoon. peerReviewed
Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia Mechanisms in Young Obese Subjects
2020
Autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and imbalance between its sympathetic and parasympathetic components are important factors contributing to the initiation and progression of many cardiovascular disorders related to obesity. The results on respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) magnitude changes as a parasympathetic index were not straightforward in previous studies on young obese subjects. Considering the potentially unbalanced ANS regulation with impaired parasympathetic control in obese patients, the aim of this study was to compare the relative contribution of baroreflex and non-baroreflex (central) mechanisms to the origin of RSA in obese vs. control subjects. To this end, we applied…
Yrittäjyyden lyhyt oppimäärä : tapaustutkimus yrittämisestä Suomessa vuosina 1987-1994
2008
Tutkin pienyrittämistä ja pienyrittäjää vuosina 1987-1994, jolloin Suomi nousi kasinotalouden aallonharjalle, viipyi siellä hetken ennen syöksymistään laman kurimukseen. Toimin tuona aikana yrittäjänä ja kirjoitin kokemuksistani omaelämkerrallisen tarinan. Tarinani on osa aineistoani. Käyn sen avulla dialogia yrittäjyystutkimuksen, aikaa koskevan tutkimuksen ja kirjoittelun kanssa. Tarkastelen yrittäjyyttä sen sisältä näkökulman kuitenkin avautuessa ulos yhteiskuntaan. Koska omaelmäkerrallisen tarinani rooli on tutkimuksessa keskeinen, tarkastelen aluksi omaelämäkerrallisen kirjoittamisen ehtoja ja pohdin miten voin asettua omaksi tutkimuskohteekseni. Tämän jälkeen tarkastelen yritykseni pe…

New Materialist Explorations into Language Education
2023
This open access book analyzes language education through a socio-material framework. The authors revisit their position as researchers by decentering themselves and humans in general from the main focus of research activities and giving way to the materialities that are agentive but often overlooked parts of our research contexts and processes. Through this critical posthumanist realism, they are able to engage in research that sees society as an ethical interrelationship between humans and the material world and explore the socio-materialities of language education from the perspectives of material agency, spatial and embodied materiality, and human and non-human assemblages. Each chapter…
