Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample
2022
The study of moral judgements often centres on moral dilemmas in which options consistent with deontological perspectives (that is, emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are in conflict with options consistent with utilitarian judgements (that is, following the greater good based on consequences). Greene et al. (2009) showed that psychological and situational factors (for example, the intent of the agent or the presence of physical contact between the agent and the victim) can play an important role in moral dilemma judgements (for example, the trolley problem). Our knowledge is limited concerning both the universality of these effects outside the United States and the impact of …

Land surface temperature and evapotranspiration estimation in the Amazon evergreen forests using remote sensing data
2019
Amazonian tropical forests play a significant role in global water, carbon and energy cycles. Considering the relevance of this biome and the climate change projections which predict a hotter and drier climate for the region, the monitoring of the vegetation status of these forests becomes of significant importance. In this context, vegetation temperature and evapotranspiration (ET) can be considered as key variables. Vegetation temperature is directly linked with plant physiology. In addition, some studies have shown the existing relationship between this variable and the CO2 absorption capacity and biomass loss of these forests. Evapotranspiration resulting from the combined processes of …
Sairaalakoulujen opettajien kokemuksia sairaalaopetuksen koulukuntoisuutta tukevasta pedagogiikasta ja sen hyödyntämisestä yleisopetuksessa
2017
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, millaisia koulukuntoisuutta tukevia elementtejä sairaalakoulujen opettajat käyttävät työssään, ja miten niitä voisi näiden opettajien kokemuksen mukaan hyödyntää yleisopetuksen ympäristöissä. Tutkimuksella oli nuorten mielenterveyden tukemiseen ja opettajuuden kehittämiseen tähtäävä tavoite. Tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisena tutkimuksena. Aineisto kerättiin sairaalakouluissa työskennelleiltä opettajilta teemahaastatteluilla ja analysoitiin laadullisen sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin ensimmäiseen tutkimuskysymykseen liittyen, että sairaalaopetuksessa koulukuntoisuuden tukeminen mahdollistuu sairaalaopetuksen taustalla vallitsevien a…

Aikuiset lapset muistisairaan vanhemman kotona asumisen mahdollistajina
2022
Väestön vanhetessa ja muistisairauksien lisääntyessä aikuisten lasten merkitys muistisairaan vanhempansa kotona asumisen mahdollistajina vahvistuu. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan aikuisten lasten muistisairaalle vanhemmalleen antamaa apua ja hoivaa sekä niiden antamiseen tarvittavaa tukea. Lisäksi tutkitaan, mistä aikuiset lapset ovat saaneet tukea vanhemman hoivaamiseen ja miten eri tahoilta saatava tuki ja palvelut vastaavat tuen tarpeisiin. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin puhelinhaastatteluilla eri puolilla Suomea asuvilta aikuisilta lapsilta (n=20). Analyysimetodina oli laadullinen sisällönanalyysi. Tutkimus osoittaa, että aikuisilla lapsilla on tärkeä rooli sairastuneen vanhempansa a…
Heme Oxygenase-1 and Blood Bilirubin Are Gradually Activated by Oral D-Glyceric Acid
2022
It has been shown that small doses of oral D-glyceric acid (DGA) activate mitochondrial metabolism and reduce inflammation among 50–60-year-old healthy volunteers. The present results with the same small doses reveal that after a 4-day DGA regimen, a dose of DGA activated the HO-1 pathway acutely, while enhanced inflammatory status after the 4-day DGA regimen seemed to be able to downregulate the HO-1 pathway in non-acute measurement. Blood bilirubin was strongly upregulated towards the end of the altogether 21-day study period with positive associations towards improved inflammation and reduced blood triglycerides. After the 4-day DGA regimen, hepatic inflow of blood bilirubin with albumin…
Subjective health literacy among school-aged children
2018
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore Finnish adolescents’ subjective health literacy (HL) in association to school achievement, learning difficulties, educational aspirations, and family affluence. Design/methodology/approach Nationally representative data were collected in Finland as a part of the international Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study. The respondents consisted in total of 3,833 adolescents (7th and 9th graders) from 359 schools. The Health Literacy for School-aged Children instrument was applied to measure adolescents’ subjective HL, while the Family Affluence Scale was used to measure adolescents’ socioeconomic status. Information was gathered on school…
Targeting the Activin Receptor Signaling to Counteract the Multi-Systemic Complications of Cancer and Its Treatments
2021
Muscle wasting, i.e., cachexia, frequently occurs in cancer and associates with poor prognosis and increased morbidity and mortality. Anticancer treatments have also been shown to contribute to sustainment or exacerbation of cachexia, thus affecting quality of life and overall survival in cancer patients. Pre-clinical studies have shown that blocking activin receptor type 2 (ACVR2) or its ligands and their downstream signaling can preserve muscle mass in rodents bearing experimental cancers, as well as in chemotherapy-treated animals. In tumor-bearing mice, the prevention of skeletal and respiratory muscle wasting was also associated with improved survival. However, the definitive proof tha…
