Nitrogen-fixing cushion Astragalus siculus modulates soil fertility, microclimate, plant facilitation, bacterial and fungal microbiota along an eleva…
2023
Question: Cushion-forming vascular plants are adapted to alpine environments and act as ecosystem engineers by moderating microclimate and creating a fertility island under their canopy. Most of the available studies on cushion ecology have been devoted to plant facilitation, but none used a holistic approach that considers the response of co-existing plant species with other key ecosystem players. Here, we quantified the biogenic effect and facilitation capacity of Astragalus siculus, a spiny nitrogen-fixing cushion plant, and test the hypothesis that the facilitation effect would increase with elevation as stress gradient.Location: Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in the Mediterrane…
Musiikin hyödyntäminen erityisopetuksessa
2015
Musiikin positiivisia vaikutuksia ihmisen hyvinvointiin ja oppimiseen liittyen on tutkittu erityisesti musiikkiterapian saralla. Musiikin on todettu edistävän esimerkiksi psyykkistä hyvinvointia, motoriikkaa ja kielenkehitystä. Pro gradu -tutkielmassani perehdyn musiikin hyödyntämiseen ja sen mahdollisuuksiin erityisopetuksen näkökulmasta. Aiempien tutkimusten lisäksi musiikin käyttömahdollisuuksia selvitettiin myös erityisopettajille teetetyn kyselyn avulla. Kyselyyn vastasi yhteensä 240 erityisopettajaa, joista 163 toimi varhaiskasvatuksessa ja 76 peruskouluikäisten lasten parissa. Vastaajien joukossa oli niin yleisopetuksen erityisopetuksessa, erityiskouluissa ja -päiväkodeissa sekä inte…
La utilización de robots para mitigar la soledad en las personas mayores: estado del arte
2013
La introducción en nuestra vida diaria de las tecnologías para la comunicación e internet (ICT) en el mundo actual es un hecho equiparable a la alfabetización y la introducción de la radio en los hogares en otros momentos de la historia. Paralelo a esa introducción y al desarrollo de los sistemas de información se está produciendo el desarrollo de sistemas autónomos o robots. El objetivo de este trabajo es la realización de un estado del arte sobre el uso de los robots como medio para mejorar su actividad social o mitigar los efectos de la soledad en las personas mayores o muy mayores. Metodología: se ha revisado publicaciones indexadas en las principales bases de datos consultadas por inve…
La soledad de las mujeres mayores que viven solas
2017
España está entre los países más envejecidos del mundo y así como ocurre en otros países, los datos muestran una feminización del proceso de envejecimiento poblacional. Investigaciones recientes indican la preferencia de los españoles mayores por vivir en sus propias viviendas frente a mudarse a la casa de sus familiares o ser institucionalizados. A raíz de estos cambios sociodemográficos, se viene notando una creciente tendencia de los hogares unipersonales encabezados por personas mayores. Al ser más longevas, las mujeres tienen más probabilidad de vivir solas durante más años que los varones mayores. Desde el modelo de discrepancia cognitiva, la soledad es una sensación desagradable resu…

Evaluation of Social Reporting Practices of Islamic Banks in Saudi Arabia
2012
Islamic banks are said to possess ethical identity (Haniffa and Hudaib, 2007) because their social goals are just as important if not more important than financial goals because of the fact that they are based on religious foundations, i.e. the Islamic Shari'ah which has as its ultimate goal, the betterment of society. Islamic banks are thus expected to portray a high level of corporate social responsibility which would be evident in their social reporting practices as evidenced in their annual reports. However, two prominent studies of the social reporting practices of Islamic banks have shown otherwise (Maali et.al, 2003; Haniffa and Hudaib, 2007). This study replicated the Haniffa and Hu…
Urban Heat Island Monitoring and Impacts on Citizen's General Health Status in Isfahan Metropolis: A Remote Sensing and Field Survey Approach.
2020
Urban heat islands (UHIs) are one of the urban management challenges, especially in metropolises, which can affect citizens’ health and well-being. This study used a combination of remote sensing techniques with field survey to investigate systematically the effects of UHI on citizens’ health in Isfahan metropolis, Iran. For this purpose, the land surface temperature (LST) over a three-year period was monitored by Landsat-8 satellite imagery based on the split window algorithm. Then, the areas where UHI and urban cold island (UCI) phenomena occurred were identified and a general health questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) was applied to evaluate the health status of 800 citizens in terms o…

Effects of contextual variables on strategic investment decision-making styles: An empirical study from Pakistan.
2022
There is a gap in the literature of strategic investment decision making (SIDM) concerning the links between context variables, infrastructure and SIDM practices (or SIDM styles) in developing countries. This research aims to fill that gap. Survey data (N = 128) from the manufacturing companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange was collected via an e-mailed questionnaire and visits to the companies. Data are analyzed with factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results reveal what we call four different SIDM styles (or emphases): managerial power-, financial analysis-, top management-, and strategy-based investing. These styles are considered to be novel perspectives on SI…
