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…

Utilising mark-recapture data for Bayesian modelling of fish mortality

2013

In this work, the aim was to produce a realistic assessment of yearly mortality of Archipelago Sea pike perch during the period 1997-2012. The utilized data origins from the mark-recapture experiment carried out by the Finnish Game and Fisheries Research Institute (FGFRI). In this mark-recapture experiment, returnings of the marks were based on voluntary tag reporting by the fishermen gaining small monetary rewards. In this study design, the count of returned tags is affected by the size of the release cohort, efficiency of the fishing method used by a fisherman and the fisherman’s willingness to return the tag. In addition, each year a proportion of the tags become detached from fish, whic…

Viitasammakon (Rana arvalis) liikkuminen ja elinpiiri muuttuneessa elinympäristössä

2017

Ihmisen aiheuttama elinympäristöjen väheneminen ja ympäristön saastuminen ovat aiheuttaneet ennen näkemättömän sukupuuttoaallon, jonka seurauksena yhä useampien uhanalaisten lajien esiintymisalueet ovat pienentyneet entisestään viimeisen 100 vuoden aikana. Yksi näistä lajeista on viitasammakko, joka on luokiteltu EU:n luontodirektiivissä liitteen IV(a) lajeihin, jotka ovat tiukasti suojeltuja myös luonnonsuojelualueiden ulkopuolella. Laji on taantunut Keski-Euroopassa, mutta se on yhä yleinen Pohjois-Euroopassa. EU:n komission mukaan viitasammakon lisääntymis- ja levähdyspaikoiksi tulee määrittää paikallispopulaation käyttämä elinalue. Elinalueen kokoon ja käyttöön vaikuttavat useat ympäris…

Pienikokoisen metallinpaljastimen kehittäminen kudoksen sisäisten kohteiden paikantamiseen

2018

Luunmurtuman onnistunut paraneminen vaatii murtuma-alueen luiden pysymistä paikallaan ja oikeassa asennossa koko paranemisen ajan. Tämän pakottamiseksi ortopedi voi asentaa potilaan luuhun erilaisia metallisia tukirakenteita, yhden vaihtoehdoista ollessa Kischner piikeiksi tai K-piikeiksi kutsutut pitkät ja ohuet neulat. Luunmurtuman parannuttua piikit tulee poistaa, mutta paranemisen aikana näiden päälle muodostunut luu- ja sidekudos vaikeuttavat piikkien löytämistä ilman tarpeettoman kudosvaurion aiheuttamista potilaalle. Tässä tutkielmassa kerron erityisesti näiden K-piikkien havaitsemiseen kehittämästäni, pienikokoisesta metallinpaljastimen prototyypistä, jonka toiminta perustuu anturin…

The Role of Capital Accumulation in the Evolution of Total Factor Productivity in Spain

2017

GDP growth in Spain was strong for much of the last half century, whereas the country’s productivity performance during these years has been mediocre. The reasons for this situation have frequently been analysed with the focus on labour productivity. But, as this article highlights, the evolution of capital productivity should also be taken into account when looking for explanations for poor productivity performance. This article analyses the sources of growth in the Spanish economy, in comparison with major economies, and takes into account the effects that the improvements in the measurement of inputs (labour and capital) have on TFP estimates. Once problems are identified and the role pl…

Impaired glutamatergic neurotransmission in migraine with aura? Evidence by an input-output curves transcranial magnetic stimulation study.

2011

Objective: An imbalance between activity of inhibitory and facilitatory intracortical circuits could play a central role in migraine etiology. We used input-output curves to achieve further information about intracortical excitability of motor cortex in migraine with aura. METHODS: Input-output curves were measured in the right abductor pollicis brevis muscle at rest in 12 patients suffering from migraine with aura and 8 healthy subjects. Stimuli were delivered at intensity ranging from 100% to 160% of resting motor threshold with 10-second inter-stimulus intervals. Seven patients were studied before and during treatment with levetiracetam. RESULTS: Results showed a greater motor-evoked pot…

Terrestrial Inputs Drive Seasonality in Organic Matter and Nutrient Biogeochemistry in a High Arctic Fjord System (Isfjorden, Svalbard)

2020

Climate-change driven increases in temperature and precipitation are leading to increased discharge of freshwater and terrestrial material to Arctic coastal ecosystems. These inputs bring sediments, nutrients and organic matter (OM) across the land-ocean interface with a range of implications for coastal ecosystems and biogeochemical cycling. To investigate responses to terrestrial inputs, physicochemical conditions were characterized in a river- and glacier-influenced Arctic fjord system (Isfjorden, Svalbard) from May to August in 2018 and 2019. Our observations revealed a pervasive freshwater footprint in the inner fjord arms, the geochemical properties of which varied spatially and seaso…
