Women’s teaching in the Roman Hispania: Guess unfounded
2015
In Mérida remains a nice funerary stela dedicated to a young girl. For many years the interpretation was that it means a dedication of a teacher to her disciple and therefore a unique example of women teaching in Hispania was imposed. Although this view is still ruled today remains in various studies that false belief. The reality is that there is no evidence that women, except of certain situations associated with the formation of the slaves, developed an educational activity in Rome. This circumstance remained with the triumph of Christianity. Hispania was no exception in the Roman world.

From Country Girl in Southern Finland to Longitudinal Research into Alternatives to Aggression and Violence
2021
Lea Pulkkinen, born in Finland in 1939, is Emerita Professor of Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland). She is best known for creating the ongoing Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JLSPSD). The study was specifically intended to test the hypothesis that the human brain allows for more variation in behavior than the simple ‘fight or flight’ response observed in animal studies of aggression. She further hypothesized that humans’ capacity for cognitive control over emotional behavior was the key factor involved in controlling aggressive behavior. These hypotheses led her to devise an impulse control model to depict behavioral alternatives, which s…

Longitudinal and cross-sectional associations of adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines with cardiometabolic risk
2022
This study aimed to examine 1) adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines over a 2-year follow-up in children aged 6-8 years and 2) association of this adherence with cardiometabolic risk factors. Physical activity and sleep were assessed by a monitor combining heart rate and accelerometry measurements. Screen time was reported by the parents. Body fat percentage, waist circumference, blood glucose, serum insulin, plasma lipids and blood pressure were assessed, and a cardiometabolic risk score was calculated using z-scores. Children were classified as meeting the guidelines if they had on average ≥60min/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during the valid days; ≤120min/day of screen…

2010
Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan amerikkalaista televisiosarjaa Gilmoren tytöt (engl. Gilmore Girls), joka kuvaa yksinhuoltajaäidin ja tämän tyttären elämää idyllisessä pikkukaupungissa. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tarkastella strategista vuorovaikutusta sarjan henkilöhahmojen kesken keskittyen pääsääntöisesti Brownin ja Levinsonin kohteliaisuusteoriaan sekä Gilmore-ismeinä tunnettuihin puhekielen viittauksiin. Tutkimuskysymyksen asettelu on kaksiosainen: 1. Kuinka Gilmore-ismit vaikuttavat strategiseen kanssakäymiseen ja kuinka ne ilmenevät kohteliaisuusteorian yhteydessä, ja 2. Miten hyvin Gilmore-ismejä pystytään kuvaamaan pragmatiikan keinoin. Tutkimuksen pohjana ovat pragmatiikan peruskäsit…
