Test commission: Twenty-five years working on test quality
2022
The objective of this paper is to present the activities and projects carried out by the Spanish Test Commission, established by the Spanish Psychological Association to improve the quality and use of tests. The most relevant projects of the commission during its twenty-five years of existence are reviewed, describing the work carried out: a) to understand the opinions and attitudes of psychologists towards the tests, b) to evaluate the quality of the tests published in Spain, and c) to develop standards, guidelines, and ethical and deontological codes to improve testing practices. The commission’s other activities of a formative nature are also highlighted, as well as its relationships wit…
The state-of-the-art of collaborative technologies for initial vocational education : a systematic literature review
2018

 
 
 Future workplaces require collaboration skills in which members of different work communities use technologies to solve complex problems. Vocational education and training (VET) programs need to meet the challenge to prepare students to be part of a competent workforce. Particularly initial vocational education is under pressure to develop learners’ collaboration skills and abilities. To date, however, no attempt has been made to perform a comprehensive review of the use of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) technologies across different vocational education settings to account for contextual factors of VET. In this systematic review, 26 published studies …
Aplidin® induces JNK-dependent apoptosis in human breast cancer cells via alteration of glutathione homeostasis, Rac1 GTPase activation, and MKP-1 ph…
2006
Aplidin® is an antitumor agent in phase II clinical trials that induces apoptosis through the sustained activation of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). We report that Aplidin® alters glutathione homeostasis increasing the ratio of oxidized to reduced forms (GSSG/GSH). Aplidin® generates reactive oxygen species and disrupts the mitochondrial membrane potential. Exogenous GSH inhibits these effects and also JNK activation and cell death. We found two mechanisms by which Aplidin® activates JNK: rapid activation of Rac1 small GTPase and downregulation of MKP-1 phosphatase. Rac1 activation was diminished by GSH and enhanced by L-buthionine (SR)-sulfoximine, which inhibits GSH synthesis. Downregulatio…
Energiatehokkuuden parantaminen ja rakennussuojelu korjausrakentamisessa : tapausesimerkkinä Jyväskylän yliopiston T-rakennuksen peruskorjaushanke 20…
2015
Rakennetulla ympäristöllä on merkittävä rooli globaalien energiansäästötavoitteiden saavuttamiseen tähtäävissä toimenpiteissä. Kestävällä rakentamisella, rakennuskannan energiatehokkuuden parantamisella, kiinteistöjen energiankulutuksen pienentämisellä sekä uusiutuvien polttoaineiden ja vähäpäästöisempien lämmitysjärjestelmien käytöllä voidaan tehokkaasti vähentää päästöjä ja torjua ilmastonmuutosta. Olemassa olevan rakennuskannan kohdalla tulee kuitenkin aina samalla huomioida myös sen kulttuurihistorialliset arvot sekä rakennusperinnön säilyminen. Tässä pro gradu ‐tutkielmassa on tarkasteltu rakennussuojelun ja energiatehokkuuden parantamiseen tähtäävien toimenpiteiden yhdistämisen proble…
Application of selected methods of black box for modelling the settleability process in wastewater treatment plant
2017
The paper described how the results of measurement s of inflow wastewater temperature in the chamber, a degree of external and internal recirculation in the biological-mechanical wastewater treatment plan t (WWTP) in Cedzyna near Kielce, Poland, were used to make predictions of settleability of activated sludge. Three methods,namely: multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), random forests (RF) and modified random forests (RF+ SOM) were employed to compute activated sludge settleability. The results of analysis indicate that modified random forests demonstrate the best predictive abilities.
Kansainvälisesti adoptoidun kohtaama arkipäivän rasismi ja sen seuraukset – mediatekstien analyysi
2017
Emilia, Salo. 2017. Kansainvälisesti adoptoidun kohtaama arkipäivän rasismi ja sen seuraukset - mediatekstien analyysi. Kasvatustieteen kandidaatintutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Kasvatustieteiden tiedekunta. 49 sivua. Rasismi on Suomessa arkaluontoinen, mutta sitäkin merkittävämpi asia osana ulkonäöltään valtaväestöstä poikkeavien ihmisten elämää. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli mediatekstien tarkastelemisen avulla selvittää, millaisia arkipäivän rasismin kokemuksia Suomeen kansainvälisesti adoptoidut kohtaavat. Samalla pyrkimyksenä oli tuoda esille, millaisia seurauksia näillä arkipäivän rasismin kokemuksilla on kansainvälisesti adoptoidulle. Tutkimuksen aineistona hyödynnettiin valmista a…

Clinical assessment and comparison of ACL reconstruction using synthetic graft (Neoligaments versus FiberTape).
2021
Background Due to the low potential for primary biological healing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the most popular approach is currently reconstruction using a graft. Recent research indicates that the technique of strengthening a damaged ligament with synthetic tapes (internal bracing) may be an alternative to reconstructive treatment, especially in cases of partial ACL damage. Objectives To compare and evaluate the possibility of using a synthetic graft (Neoligaments or FiberTape) to treat partial lesions of the ACL. Material and methods This was a retrospective cohort study. Selected from a pool of 128 patients undergoing primary unilateral intra-articular ACL reconstruction du…
Heart Rate Variability Monitoring During Strength and High-Intensity Interval Training Overload Microcycles
2019
Objective: In two independent study arms, we determine the effects of strength training (ST) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) overload on cardiac autonomic modulation by measuring heart rate (HR) and vagal heart rate variability (HRV).Methods: In the study, 37 well-trained athletes (ST: 7 female, 12 male; HIIT: 9 female, 9 male) were subjected to orthostatic tests (HR and HRV recordings) each day during a 4-day baseline period, a 6-day overload microcycle, and a 4-day recovery period. Discipline-specific performance was assessed before and 1 and 4 days after training.Results: Following ST overload, supine HR, and vagal HRV (Ln RMSSD) were clearly increased and decreased (small ef…
Religious Diaspora: A New Approach to Its Existence and Meaning
2021
The present study aims to contribute to the discussion regarding the possibility of conceptualizing a religious diaspora. It proposes a new way of defining it, namely in relation to religious and not to ethno-territorial realities, but without editing the territorial dimension out. After sketching the definition on this theoretical basis, the study refers to six case studies, pointing to the way in which the definitory traits of a religious diaspora are actualized in each situation under study. The evaluation unravels the strengths of the concept as well as certain aspects that still need to be addressed in further research. The inference is that the capacity of religion to generate diaspor…
