A cultural comparison of mindfulness and student performance: Evidence from university students in five countries
2021
Societal and cultural norms are important in shaping how individuals live, study, and work. Of particular interest in recent research is the role of mindfulness, defined as the ability to focus on the present moment, and how it can impact cognitive function and productivity. This study examines the relationship between scholastic achievement and mindfulness among university students in China, Finland, Germany, South Africa, and the United States. Comparisons between countries with respect to self-reported measures of mindfulness, test anxiety levels, and phone usage are analyzed. These measures are used to determine whether mindfulness affects student performance in introductory economics c…

Risupadot, putoukset ja tierummut taimenen (Salmo trutta) vaellusesteinä pienissä virtavesissä : kotiutumiskäyttäytymiseen perustuva tutkimus
2015
Virtavesissä kalojen liikkumista saattavat rajoittaa luonnostaan muodostuneet tai ihmisen rakentamat vaellusesteet. Muun muassa tienrakennuksen yhteydessä asennetut tierummut voivat estää kalojen kulun osittain tai kokonaan. Kivien tai kallion aiheuttama putous tai virran mukana kulkeutuva puuaines voivat myös synnyttää luonnollisen vaellusesteen. Suomessa vaellusesteitä on kartoitettu jonkin verran, mutta varsinaista tutkimusta on tehty vähän. Tässä tutkimuksessa tutkittiin, toimivatko risupadot, pienet putoukset ja tierummut taimenen (Salmo trutta) vaellusesteenä. Taimenet (91–383 mm) merkittiin mustepisteillä, Carlin-merkein tai rasvaeväleikkauksin ja siirrettiin esteen yläpuolelta sen a…

Managing the repatriation of professionals following overseas assignment
2017
Despite decades of research about culture shock, and latterly but not to the same extent, reverse culture shock, it seems that little is understood about how to manage the process of repatriation after an overseas assignment in the commercial world. Attrition rates of repatriates leaving their employers within the first year following their return continue to rise as those individuals consistently report feeling undervalued by their employers. This study is concerned with how best to manage the process of repatriation from the employees’ point of view. It therefore looks at how a group of repatriating Finns from various professional backgrounds perceived the effects of reverse culture shock…

Barcelona vista pels narradors del vuit-cents
2014
L’article s’ocupa de les representacions o imatges de la ciutat de Barcelona en la prosa literària catalana del segle xix, especialment en el quadre de costums i la novel·la, que s’examinen com a expressions de cultura urbana. Aquesta literatura, associada a un cert concepte de modernitat, avança flanquejada per l’historicisme i el ruralisme mitificadors dels escriptors lligats als ideals conservadors de la Renaixença. L’article dibuixa la trama de motius o de trets idiosincràtics urbans en la prosa destil·lada pels escriptors del vuit-cents, primer en llengua castellana i, a partir dels anys 60, en llengua catalana. Així, fa un recorregut per la Barcelona vella i la Barcelona nova, abans i…
Visions de Mallorca a la literatura del segle XIX
2011
L’article és una aproximació al tractament de Mallorca com a tema literari en la literatura feta per autors mallorquins del xix, en un període comprès entre l’aparició de La Palma el 1840 i, més o menys, la dècada dels vuitanta, cosa que implica tractar de l’obra de tres grups generacionals. Més que una síntesi general, s’ha optat per mostrar algunes de les diferents opcions triades a l’hora de convertir Mallorca en literatura, unes opcions, unes mirades, que canvien al llarg del temps i que poden estar mediatitzades tant per l’adscripció a un corrent literari –romanticisme–, a una situació personal –l’allunyament de l’illa–, o per unes motivacions literàries diferents –voluntat regeneracio…
