Socioeconomic differences in the use of alcohol and drunkenness in adolescents: Trends in the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study in Finla…

2018

Aims: The aims of this study were to explore time-based trends of socioeconomic differences in alcohol use and drunkenness in Finnish adolescents from 1990 to 2014 and to investigate the significance of two indicators in detecting socioeconomic differences in alcohol use and drunkenness. Methods: Data were retrieved from seven surveys conducted as part of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study in Finland from 1990 to 2014. The alcohol use and drunkenness of 15-year-old students, as well as socioeconomic status, including educational aspiration and perceived family wealth, were assessed via a self-report questionnaire. Logistic regression models were used to investigate t…

When Investment in Basic Skills Gives Negative Returns

2017

In recent years, the Norwegian government has invested heavily in improving basic skills in the adult population. Initiatives have included legislation, the introduction of work-based adult education programs, and reforms in schooling. In light of this investment, we explore trends in adult literacy and numeracy, by comparing data from two international surveys of adult skills, conducted in 2003 and 2012. Paradoxically, the proportion of low-performing adults appears to have increased, most significantly in the 16- to 24-year age group and in the foreign-born population. The profile of the lowest performing group has changed in the intervening years. These findings suggest that adult educa…

Aikuiset lapset muistisairaan vanhemman kotona asumisen mahdollistajina

2022

Väestön vanhetessa ja muistisairauksien lisääntyessä aikuisten lasten merkitys muistisairaan vanhempansa kotona asumisen mahdollistajina vahvistuu. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan aikuisten lasten muistisairaalle vanhemmalleen antamaa apua ja hoivaa sekä niiden antamiseen tarvittavaa tukea. Lisäksi tutkitaan, mistä aikuiset lapset ovat saaneet tukea vanhemman hoivaamiseen ja miten eri tahoilta saatava tuki ja palvelut vastaavat tuen tarpeisiin. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin puhelinhaastatteluilla eri puolilla Suomea asuvilta aikuisilta lapsilta (n=20). Analyysimetodina oli laadullinen sisällönanalyysi. Tutkimus osoittaa, että aikuisilla lapsilla on tärkeä rooli sairastuneen vanhempansa a…

Income and Physical Activity among Adults: Evidence from Self-Reported and Pedometer-Based Physical Activity Measurements

2015

This study examined the relationship between income and physical activity by using three measures to illustrate daily physical activity: the self-reported physical activity index for leisure-time physical activity, pedometer-based total steps for overall daily physical activity, and pedometer-based aerobic steps that reflect continuous steps for more than 10 min at a time. The study population consisted of 753 adults from Finland (mean age 41.7 years; 64% women) who participated in 2011 in the follow-up of the ongoing Young Finns study. Ordinary least squares models were used to evaluate the associations between income and physical activity. The consistency of the results was explored by us…

Income and Career Concerns Among Emerging Adults From Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom During COVID-19

2023

In this study, we examine the prevalence of income and career concerns among emerging adults in three different welfare states during COVID-19: Finland ( n = 309), Sweden ( n = 324), and the United Kingdom ( n = 343). This study also delves into how factors such as one’s self-perceived financial situation, generalized mistrust, loneliness and socio-demographics are related to emerging adults’ income and career concerns. Results showed that individuals from the United Kingdom were more likely to experience increased income and career concerns than those in Finland and Sweden. Our results also suggest that income concerns were associated with one’s current financial situation, future financi…

Biokaasuntuotanto naudan kuivikelannasta

2010

Naudan kuivikelantaa muodostuu navetoissa, joissa käytetään kuivikkeita, kuten olkea, turvetta tai kutterinpurua. Kuivikelanta voi lannan lisäksi sisältää myös virtsaa. Mikäli virtsa imeytetään kuivikkeisiin, kuivikelantaa muodostuu tilalla vuoden aikana noin kaksinkertainen tilavuus verrattuna tilanteeseen, jossa virtsa erotellaan lannasta. Käsittelemällä kuivikelanta anaerobisesti saadaan metaania, jota polttoaineena käyttämällä voidaan vähentää kasvihuonekaasupäästöjä. Tässä tutkimuksessa määritettiin viiden erilaisen kuivikelannan, viiden kuivikkeen sekä säilörehun metaanintuottopotentiaalit. Lisäksi testattiin yhden kuivikelannan soveltuvuutta biokaasuntuotantoon kokeilumittakaavan rea…
