Corticokinematic coherence is stronger to regular than irregular proprioceptive stimulation of the hand
2021
Funding Information: This study was supported by the Academy of Finland “Brain changes across the life-span” profiling funding to University of Jyva€skyla€. H. Piitulainen was supported by Academy of Finland (Grants 296240, 326988, 307250, and 327288) and Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation. Publisher Copyright: © 2021 the American Physiological Society. Proprioceptive afference can be investigated using corticokinematic coherence (CKC), which indicates coupling between limb kinematics and cortical activity. CKC has been quantified using proprioceptive stimulation (movement actuators) with fixed interstimulus interval (ISI). However, it is unclear how regularity of the stimulus sequence (jitter…
A qualitative study of using movies as a means of escapism between Finns and immigrants in Finland
2017
Escapist use is often considered the main use for movies in Uses and Gratification research, however there is hardly a detailed account on such use, on what the movie audience escape into. The present study, which consists of a research article and a monograph, has tried to utilize a qualitative approach to provide a better understanding of escapist movie viewing. The other aspect of this research is trying to compare such use among Finnish nationals and immigrants in Finland to see how people from different backgrounds might vary in their escapist use of movies. Although no difference between Finns and immigrants living in Finland were seen in the data, due to limitation in its scale, this…
El fenómeno senderista en España. Análisis por un panel de expertos
2014
El fenómeno senderista en España. Análisis por un panel de expertos. El senderismo se ha convertido en una de las actividades físico-recreativas más importantes de nuestra sociedad. Los enfoques de práctica superan las motivaciones deportivas para incorporar objetivos turísticos, de calidad de vida, de movilidad no motorizada o del desarrollo rural, por citar algunos ejemplos. Por otra parte, el senderismo admite actividades afines (excursionismo, caminata, trekking, paseo,…) y coexiste perfectamente con otras prácticas complementarias (carreras de montaña, vías ferratas, Btt, equitación,…) que le convierten en un verdadero fenómeno social. Frente una actividad de tal envergadura y transcen…
MOVILIDAD, TENENCIA Y DEMANDA DE VIVIENDA EN ESPAÑA
2003
Mobility studies take into account that housing tenure has a high influencethrough transaction costs. If benefit of change is greater than costs, the household willchange their dwelling, if not the household stays even though their consumption is notthe optimum. Our aim is to analyse the behaviour of Spanish households that facemobility and tenure decisions, taking into account that they are endogenous given theclose relation between both: the tenure selected depends on the future decisionregarding mobility and expected future mobility depends on the present decision abouttenure. Together with these decisions, we will analyse factors that determine thehousing services demand for recent move…
Los hábitos de movilidad en la Universitat de València (2005-2006). Problemas de acceso a los campus y sostenibilidad
2022
Las pautas de movilidad cotidiana entre lugar de residencia y lugar de trabajo o estudio son un elemento fundamental de la calidad de vida de los universitarios, con notables implicaciones para la sostenibilidad urbana y la protección del medio ambiente. Desde esta noble perspectiva, este estudio presenta y analiza los resultados de la I Encuesta sobre Hábitos de Movilidad de la Universitat de València (2005-2006). Los universitarios hacen un uso notable del transporte colectivo, pero en los últimos años se está produciendo un cierto abandono de algunos modos de transporte público, que no es compensado por el mayor uso de la bicicleta. Se hace así necesaria la elaboración de una Plan de Mov…
Conducta sexual de riesgo en diferentes colectivos: variables implicadas y propuesta de un modelo explicativo
2018
- La infección por VIH representa un gran problema de salud pública y constituye una de las principales causas de mortalidad y discapacidad a nivel mundial con casi 36.7 millones de personas afectadas. Aunque en los primeros años de la epidemia la responsabilidad se atribuyó a determinados colectivos posteriormente se estableció que, aunque algunos subgrupos poseen mayores factores de vulnerabilidad, la conducta sexual de cada individuo constituye la variable que mayor explica la probabilidad infección. En este sentido resulta importante analizar las características diferenciales de ciertos colectivos que, si bien no son completamente homogéneos, comparten ciertas características en relació…
‘So close, yet so different’ – reflections on the multicultural course of Slavic languages
2019
The complexity of language learning may be expanded to learning the languages belonging to the same language family, for example, Slavic languages. This paper reports on the reflection-on action research aimed at the increase of learners’ multicultural competence and enhancement of critical thinking at the interdisciplinary, blended course of Slavic languages and cultures. The course organized in modules is implemented in Moodle. Course content is designed by the teacher; however, Slavic languages are presented by native speakers of these languages. Learners have an opportunity to get familiar with Slavic languages, history, and culture from the presenters’ perspective, what generally resul…
Multiculturalismo e misure in materia di religione per la minoranza Arabo-Palestinese in Israele

Recensione di Religione e diritti umani nell'Italia multiculturale
2021
Quello dei diritti umani, trattato nella fattispecie della libertà religiosa, è un argomento sotto molti profili profili complesso e delicato. Se ne occupano in questo volume Sara Lagi, Chiara Maritato e Roberta Ricucci, mettendo in campo con cura le proprie metodologie di indagine scientifiche e offrendone così un puntuale e sistematico approfondimento per il tramite di un approccio storico-politico e sociologico che converge soprattutto sul contesto italiano contemporaneo.
A genomic reappraisal of symbiotic function in the aphid/Buchnera symbiosis: reduced transporter sets and variable membrane organisations.
2011
International audience; Buchnera aphidicola is an obligate symbiotic bacterium that sustains the physiology of aphids by complementing their exclusive phloem sap diet. In this study, we reappraised the transport function of different Buchnera strains, from the aphids Acyrthosiphon pisum, Schizaphis graminum, Baizongia pistaciae and Cinara cedri, using the re-annotation of their transmembrane proteins coupled with an exploration of their metabolic networks. Although metabolic analyses revealed high interdependencies between the host and the bacteria, we demonstrate here that transport in Buchnera is assured by low transporter diversity, when compared to free-living bacteria, being mostly bas…
