Containers in Software Development: A Systematic Mapping Study
2019
Over the past decade, continuous software development has become a common place in the field of software engineering. Containers like Docker are a lightweight solution that developers can use to deploy and manage applications. Containers are used to build both component-based architectures and microservice architectures. Still, practitioners often view containers only as way to lower resource requirements compared to virtual machines. In this paper, we conducted a systematic mapping study to find information on what is known of how containers are used in software development. 56 primary studies were selected into this paper and they were categorized and mapped to identify the gaps in the cu…
Teaching hand-washing with pictorial cues
2016
<p><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: medium;">Applied behavior analysis has been shown to be an effective means to teach daily living skills to individuals with intellectual disability. In the present study pictorial cues based on task analysis, system of least prompts, and social reinforcement were used to teach a man with mild intellectual disability to wash his hands correctly. An ABAB reversal design was used with follow-up after two weeks. The results show a rapid increase in hand-washing skills.</span></p>
Favouring emotional processing in improvisational music therapy through resonance frequency breathing: a single-case experimental study with a health…
2017
Resonance frequency breathing (RFB) is a form of slow breathing at around six breaths/min, whose immediate effects are to substantially increase heart rate variability (HRV) and to reduce stress levels. Since RFB has already been successfully used on its own to treat various emotional disorders, we wanted to evaluate its effect on emotional processing when used as a preparatory intervention in improvisational music therapy. To do so, we performed a single-subject experimental study with a healthy participant. We hypothesised that RFB would serve both as an emotional catalyst and emotional regulator, the actual outcome depending on the client’s current issues and needs. The study consisted o…
Enhancing Dialogic Argumentation in Mathematics and Science
2017
This paper reports on a teacher professional development (PD) programme addressing dialogic argumentation in mathematics and science classrooms. While argumentation skills are becoming more and more important in an increasingly polarised society, the social aspect of argumentation is often neglected in secondary education. Moreover, it is agreed that genuine argumentation requires time and space in classroom dialogue. There have been calls for research delving into how teachers could be familiarised with dialogic argumentation so that they could foster such dialogue in students. The described PD programme features versatile and continuous cooperation between scholars and participating teach…
Impact of Urinary Incontinence on Physical Function and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Incontinent Women : A Comparative Study between Urinary Incont…
2022
Patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may be afraid to increase intra-abdominal pressure to avoid incontinence. This could lead to weak expiratory muscles. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between respiratory muscle strength, physical function, and SUI in patients with SUI. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Physical Medicine and Functional Rehabilitation Department. Thirty-one incontinent women (IG) and twenty-nine women in a control group (CG) were enrolled in this study. Anthropometric data, respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure; maximal expiratory pressure), SUI (Urogenital Distress Inventory-6; Incontinence Impact Question…
Ethics in biodiversity conservation : The meaning and importance of pluralism
2022
Addressing the global extent of the current biodiversity crisis requires engaging with the existence of multiple equally legitimate values, but also with diverse ethical perspectives underpinning conceptions of right and wrong actions. However, western monist positions have mostly explicitly or implicitly directed conservation strategies by defining the space of legitimate arguments, overlooking solutions that do not fit neatly the chosen approaches. As ignoring diverse ethical positions leads to injustices and reduces the potential of conserving biodiversity, there is a need to recognise and navigate the ethical landscape. Ethical pluralism may provide opportunities to do so. However, the …
Serological Follow-Up Study Indicates High Seasonal Coronavirus Infection and Reinfection Rates in Early Childhood
2022
Seasonal human coronaviruses (HCoVs) cause respiratory infections, especially in children. Currently, the knowledge on early childhood seasonal coronavirus infections and the duration of antibody levels following the first infections is limited. Here we analyzed serological follow-up samples to estimate the rate of primary infection and reinfection(s) caused by seasonal coronaviruses in early childhood. Serum specimens were collected from 140 children at ages of 13, 24, and 36 months (1, 2, and 3 years), and IgG antibody levels against recombinant HCoV nucleoproteins (N) were measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Altogether, 84% (118/140) of the children were seropositive for at least one s…
Todeksi uskottua : kansandemokraattinen Neuvostoliitto-journalismi rajapinnan tulkkina vuosina 1964-1973
2008
Aimo Ruususen väitöstutkimus paljastaa, miten ideologiset ja muut riippuvuudet näkyivät suomalaisten kansandemokraattisten toimittajien työssä kylmän sodan vuosina ja Neuvostoliiton historian mielenkiintoisena ajanjaksona 1960-luvun puolivälistä alkaen.- Kansandemokraattisissa sanomalehdissä vaiettiin joistakin Neuvostoliiton kannalta epäedullisista asioista, vaikka sellaisistakin eräissä kriisitapauksissa kerrottiin, Ruusunen kertoo.Tämän lehtiryhmän toimittajat olivat kahden erilaisen kulttuurin välisellä rajapinnalla ja sen tulkkeina erikoisessa asemassa. Toisaalta heillä oli paljon mahdollisuuksia tiedon saantiin, toisaalta heillä oli ideologisia esteitä asioiden julkiseen pohdintaan. K…
Työelämän toteutumaton murroskohta? Tarkastelussa 1960- ja 1970- lukujen yritysdemokratiavisiot
2008
[Johdanto] Vasemmiston vuoden 1966 vaalivoitto, Rafael Paasion kansanrintamahallituksen muodostaminen ja yleisen kulttuuri- ja yhteiskuntakriitikin voimistuminen (ks. esim. Alapuro 2003, 554–555; Siisiäinen 1990, luku 3) muodostivat ”mahdollisuuksien ikkunan” (Kingdon 1995), jonka kautta kysymys työelämän demokratisoinnista nostettiin politiikan agendalle ja lainsäädännöllisen valmistelun kohteeksi.1 1960-luvun lopun poliittinen suhdanne avasi väylän työelämää koskeville radikaaleillekin muutoshankkeille. Lähes kaikki poliittiset ryhmittymät jakoivat käsityksen työelämän demokratisoinnin tarpeellisuudesta, mutta mielipiteet demokratisoinnin tulevasta sisällöstä ja toteuttamistavoista vaihte…
