Y:BaZrO 3 Perovskite Compounds II: Designing Protonic Conduction by using MD Models

2011

The proton dynamics in Y-doped BaZrO(3) derivatives, in particular the different dopant environments within a Pm3m cubic framework, were studied by using classical molecular dynamics (MD) calculations. Single- and double substitution of zirconium by yttrium atoms was considered. The presence of yttrium induced variations in the surrounding oxygen sites, according to their local geometrical arrangements. The differences among such distinct oxygen sites became evident when protons interacted with them and upon changes in the temperature. So, different proton transfer pathways, which had different energy barriers, characterized the topologically different oxygen sites. The experimental proton-…

Flash microwave synthesis and sintering of nanosized La0.75Sr0.25Cr0.93Ru0.07o3–δ for fuel cell application.

2009

International audience; Perovskite-oxide nanocrystals of La0.75Sr0.25Cr0.93Ru0.07O3–δ with a mean size around 10 nm were prepared by microwave flash synthesis. This reaction was performed in alcoholic solution using metallic salts, sodium ethoxide and microwave autoclave. The obtained powder was characterised after purification by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), BET adsorption technique, photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that integrated perovskite-type phase and uniform particle size were obtained in the microwave treated samples. At last the synthesised powder was directly used in a sin…

Becoming a multilingual health professional in vocational education - two adult migrants’ translanguaging trajectories

2022

The number of migrant students in vocational education in Finland is rising. Their educational backgrounds and language resources are diverse, and research is needed to gain better understanding on how their existing knowledge can be acknowledged, supported, and deployed when they become multilingual professionals in their own fields. In this ethnographic study, we drew on the theoretical approaches of translanguaging and language architecture (García, O., and T.Kleyn. 2016. “Translanguaging Theory in Education.” In Translanguaging with Multilingual Students: Learning from Classroom Moments, edited by O. García, and T. Kleyn, 9–33. New York, London: Routledge; Li, Wei. 2018. “Translanguagin…

Liikuntaintervention vaikutus 3-7-vuotiaiden lasten fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen ja motorisiin taitoihin sekä fyysisen aktiivisuuden yhteys sydän- ja ver…

Sääkslahti selvitti väitöskirjatutkimuksessaan runsaaseen ulkoliikuntaan kannustavan liikuntaohjelman vaikutuksia 3-7-vuotiaiden lasten liikunnan määrään ja perustaitoihin. Lisäksi hän tarkasteli liikunnan määrän ja laadun yhteyttä sepelvaltimotaudin riskitekijöihin.Lapset tarvitsevat liikuntaa kasvaakseen ja kehittyäkseen. Hyvin pitkään oletettiin, että lapset liikkuvat ja leikkivät riittävästi. 1990-luvun aikana erilaiset tietotekniset laitteet ja pelit alkoivat kilpailla lasten huomiosta ja ajankäytöstä. Hyvin suuri osa lasten ns. vapaista leikeistä on aikaisemmin ollut erilaisia kasvua ja kehitystä tukevia liikuntaleikkejä. 2000-luvun alussa tilanne kuitenkin on muuttunut. Ajankäytön mu…

Serum Albumin and Future Risk of Hip, Humeral, and Wrist Fractures in Caucasian Men : New Findings from a Prospective Cohort Study

2019

Objective: Low serum albumin concentration is associated with poor health outcomes, but its relationship with the risk of fractures has not been reliably quantified. We aimed to assess the prospective association of serum albumin with the risk of fractures in a general population. Subjects and Methods: Baseline serum albumin concentrations were measured in 2,245 men aged 42–61 years in the Kuopio Is­chemic Heart Disease study. Hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals) were calculated for incident fractures. Results: A total of 121 fractures (hip, humeral, or wrist) were recorded during a median follow-up of 25.6 years. The risk of fractures increased linearly below a serum albumin conc…

Understanding Human-Technology Relations Within Technologization and Appification of Musicality

2020

In this paper, we outline a theoretical account of the relationship between technology and human musicality. An enactive and biocultural position is adopted that assumes a close coevolutionary relationship between the two. From this position, we aim at clarifying how the present and emerging technologies, becoming embedded and embodied in our lifeworld, inevitably co-constitute and transform musical practices, skills, and ways of making sense of music. Therefore, as a premise of our scrutiny, we take it as a necessity to more deeply understand the ways that humans become affiliated to the ever-changing instruments of music technology, in order to better understand the coevolutionary impact …
