Involving students in the redesign of learning environments conducive to learning and wellbeing
2014
Increased understanding of the interrelations between overall wellbeing and learning calls for a holistic and multidisciplinary learning environment (LE) design. Considering learners’ perception in the design of LE supportive to learning and wellbeing is expected to positively influence (a) the design quality, (b) participatory organizational culture, and (c) learning. The nature of this process creates contradictions and difficulties, however. Stand-alone co-design efforts may convert into pseudo-consultation without actual effects; neither is it easy to consider various stakeholders’ perceptions in a balanced manner. And if not planned carefully, instead of experiencing learning benefits,…
Fundamental movement skills and weight status in children: A systematic review
2017
Background Obesity has become a major health challenge in children. Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are suggested to have an important role for being physically active and decreasing the risk of obesity. This systematic review aimed to give an overview of studies providing evidence for a relationship between FMS and the weight status in children. Material/Methods A systematic search of five electronic databases (MEDLINE (PubMed), SportDiscus, ERIC, PsycInfo and SCOPUS) was conducted in January 2015. Studies examining associations between FMS and weight status in children aged 3–12 years were included. Results The final sample included 12 cross-sectional studies. Seven studies found statis…

2020
En el primer cuarto del siglo XXI nos encontramos ante un panorama muy dinámico respecto a la movilidad urbana derivado de los cambios tecnológicos y ambientales dentro del contexto del cambio climático global. Las ciudades, y en especial la función de movilidad y transporte que en ellas tiene lugar, se encuentran ante la encrucijada de la sostenibilidad social, económica y ambiental y el replanteamiento estratégico de sus modelos de desarrollo. Diversas instituciones internacionales, entre las que se encuentra la Comisión Europea, han planteado la necesidad de implantar nuevos modelos de movilidad urbana eficiente y respetuosa para garantizar la movilidad, la calidad de vida, la protección…
El sufragisme i la conquesta de la igualtat
2012
El present treball té com a finalitat oferir una proposta d'Unitat Didàctica per a l'assignatura Ciències Socials: Geografia i Historia, en el quart curs d'Educació Secundària Obligatòria (4rt ESO). En un marc educatiu en el que els estudis sobre gènere estan absents o, com a mínim, inclosos de forma anecdòtica i parcial en el currículum de la ESO, aquesta UD ofereix una alternativa innovadora que permet incloure en una sola unitat una trajectòria global del que ha estat el sufragisme i la conquesta de la igualtat per part de les dones. Tot i ser conscient de què a nivell de 4rt de la ESO la nomenclatura de l'assignatura és pròpiament Història d'Espanya i, per tant, els continguts curricula…
Toimijuutta, refleksiivisyyttä ja neuvotteluja - muistisairaus yksinasuvan naisen arjessa

Lievää Alzheimerin tautia sairastavien henkilöiden ja heidän omaishoitajiensa sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluiden käyttö ja siihen yhteydessä olevat teki…
2010
Alzheimerin tauti on yleisin dementiaa aiheuttava sairaus. Alzheimerin tautia sairastavien henkilöiden itsenäinen selviytyminen heikkenee taudin oireiden etenemisen myötä. Omaishoitajan avustuksella moni muistisairas henkilö pystyy asumaan omassa kodissaan vielä siinäkin vaiheessa, kun se yksin olisi mahdotonta. Läheisen ihmisen omaishoitajana toimiminen on raskasta työtä ja moni omaishoitaja kokee olevansa psyykkisesti ja fyysisesti kuormittunut. Omaishoitajan ja muistisairaan henkilön tukena ovat useat sosiaali- ja terveyspalvelut, joiden tarkoituksena on tukea toimintakykyä, mahdollistaa kotona asuminen ja parantaa omaishoitajan jaksamista. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää li…

An Emulator Toolbox to Approximate Radiative Transfer Models with Statistical Learning
2015
Physically-based radiative transfer models (RTMs) help in understanding the processes occurring on the Earth’s surface and their interactions with vegetation and atmosphere. When it comes to studying vegetation properties, RTMs allows us to study light interception by plant canopies and are used in the retrieval of biophysical variables through model inversion. However, advanced RTMs can take a long computational time, which makes them unfeasible in many real applications. To overcome this problem, it has been proposed to substitute RTMs through so-called emulators. Emulators are statistical models that approximate the functioning of RTMs. Emulators are advantageous in real practice because…
