Vaikutteet ja viittaukset japanilaiseen populaarikulttuuriin My Little Pony : Friendship Is Magic -sarjassa
2017
Tutkielmani tarkoitus on osoittaa, mitkä ovat My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic TV-sarjan visuaaliset vaikutteet ja viittaukset japanilaiseen populaarikulttuuriin. Tutkimusmenetelmänä hyödynsin intertekstuaalisuutta, kun vertasin ponisarjan visuaalista materiaalia japanilaiseen kuvastoon. Tutkimuksessani vertasin ponisarjan visuaalista kuvastoa anime- ja mangatyyleihin ja viittauksiin japanilaiseen populaarimediaan. Tutkimukseni tukena hyödynsin ponisarjan tekijöitten haastatteluja kuin myös fanien reaktioita ja huomioita sarjasta.
Naiskuvia japanilaisessa mangassa : analyysi neljän ikäryhmän sarjakuvista
2012
Tämä pro gradu -tutkielma tarkastelee naiskuvaa neljässä japanilaisessa manga-sarjakuvassa, ensimmäisissä osissa kirjasarjoista Naruto (1999-), Fruits Basket (1999-2006), Oh! My Goddess(1988-) ja Happy Mania! (1996-2001). Kyseiset sarjakuvat on valittu sillä perusteella, että ne ovat tunnettuja ja suosittuja esimerkkejä neljästä tärkeästä japanilaisesta ikäluokittelusta – tyttöjen, poikien, nuorten miesten ja naisten manga-sarjakuvista. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on myös vertailla eri ikäryhmille ja sukupuolille esitettyjä naiskuvia. Tutkimus käyttää laadullisen tutkimuksen sisällönanalyysin metodeja ja toimii feministisellä otteella. Työssä tarkastellaan feministisen naiskuvatutkimuksen his…
Teachers' attitudes and self-efficacy on implementing inclusive education in Japan and Finland : A comparative study using multi-group structural equ…
2018
This study aims to explore relationships between teachers' attitudes, self-efficacy, and background variables regarding inclusive education by using a sample of 359 Japanese and 872 Finnish teachers. A multi-group structural equation modelling was conducted to find similarities and differences in how the background variables predict teachers' attitudes and self-efficacy. Experience in teaching students with disabilities had a positive effect on teachers' attitudes and self-efficacy in both countries. However, teachers' teaching career and the amount of inclusive education training affected them differently in Japan and Finland. The findings could be used to improve inclusive education train…

Calculating confidence intervals for impact numbers
2006
Abstract Background Standard effect measures such as risk difference and attributable risk are frequently used in epidemiological studies and public health research to describe the effect of exposures. Recently, so-called impact numbers have been proposed, which express the population impact of exposures in form of specific person or case numbers. To describe estimation uncertainty, it is necessary to calculate confidence intervals for these new effect measures. In this paper, we present methods to calculate confidence intervals for the new impact numbers in the situation of cohort studies. Methods Beside the exposure impact number (EIN), which is equivalent to the well-known number needed …
Japanese, Mediterranean and Argentinean diets and their potential roles in neurodegenerative diseases
2019
Environmental factors are responsible of cellular senescence and processes found in the development of cognitive disorders. The aim of this paper is to compare benefits of the Japanese, Mediterranean, and Argentinian Diet on the onset or prevention of senile dementia (SD) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Special focus was on the effects of specific compounds such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), antioxidants, and saturated and trans fatty acids. A high adherence to diets rich in PUFAs, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and antioxidants may decrease the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases ; while the predominance of saturated and trans fatty acids possibly rises it.
Screening for colorectal cancer with immunochemical faecal occult blood tests.
2012
Population-based studies have shown that guaiac faecal occult blood testing followed by colonoscopy in case of positivity can reduce colorectal cancer mortality. However these tests have been criticised for their fairly low sensitivity. For this reason attention has been given to alternative tests. The aim of this paper is to review the evidence for screening for colorectal cancer using qualitative immunochemical faecal occult blood tests. For the complete range of tested cut-off values, immunochemical faecal occult blood tests lead to higher diagnostic yield, improved sensitivity and greater participation. The optimal number of samples and the optimal cut-off value has to suit local resour…
Pregraduate Training in Emergency Medicine
1992
AbstractA panel session on undergraduate education in Emergency Medicine from a worldwide perspective was conducted at the Seventh World Congress of Emergency and Disaster Medicine in Montreal, in May, 1991.
