Nurse-led counseling for coronary artery disease patients : A 1-year follow-up study

2021

Nurse‐led counseling and systematic follow‐up has been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk factor levels. The study aim was to investigate if cardiovascular risk factor levels could be reduced in patients with coronary artery disease with a nurse‐led intervention and to report patients’ evaluations of nurse‐led counseling. The study design was a real‐life longitudinal follow‐up counseling intervention. Data were collected from November 2017 to May 2020. The nurse‐led intervention and patients’ follow‐up time was one year. Of the 78 patients recruited, 74 completed the study. The most significant findings were in the levels of total cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol and trigly…

Exploring the phenomenon and possible music therapy approaches from a client and music therapist perspective

2016

It is known that craving can be elicited by various triggers, such as visual and auditory cues.Less is known about music as a trigger for craving. Only recently the interest towards this topic has somewhat increased. Two quantitative studies showed that music can increase and evoke craving. Additionally, some music therapists described experiences of their clients with music and craving. Furthermore, few different therapeutic approaches to cope with this phenomenon in music therapy have been proposed. However, the body of research focusing on this topic remains small. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to further explore if music can elicit craving, if so, how music evokes craving a…

Host-guest complexes of C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene with aromatic N-oxides*

2018

The host-guest complexes of C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene with pyridine N-oxide, 3-methylpyridine N-oxide, quinoline N-oxide and isoquinoline N-oxide are studied using single crystal X-ray crystallography and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene forms endo-complexes with the aromatic N-oxides in the solid-state when crystallised from either methanol or acetone. In solution, the endo-complexes were observed only in methanol-d4. In DMSO the solvent itself is a good guest, and crystallisation provides only solvate endo-complexes. The C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene shows remarkable flexibility when crystallised from either methanol or acetone, and packs into one-dimensional sel…

A second solvatomorph of poly[[μ4-N,N′-(1,3,5-oxadiazinane-3,5-diyl)bis(carbamoylmethanoato)]nickel(II)dipotassium] : crystal structure, Hirshfeld su…

The title compound, poly[triaquabis[μ4-N,N′-(1,3,5-oxadiazinane-3,5-diyl)bis(carbamoylmethanoato)]dinickel(II)tetrapotassium], [K4Ni2(C7H6N4O7)2(H2O)3] n , is a second solvatomorph of poly[(μ4-N,N′-(1,3,5-oxadiazinane-3,5-diyl)bis(carbamoylmethanoato)nickel(II)dipotassium] reported previously [Plutenko et al. (2021). Acta Cryst. E77, 298–304]. The asymmetric unit of the title compound includes two structurally independent complex anions [Ni(C7H6N4O7)]2−, which exhibit an L-shaped geometry and consist of two almost flat fragments perpendicular to one another: the 1,3,5-oxadiazinane fragment and the fragment including other atoms of the anion. The central Ni atom is in a square-planar N2O2 co…

The effect of improvisational music therapy on the treatment of depression: protocol for a randomised controlled trial

2008

Background. Music therapy is frequently offered to individuals suffering from depression. Despite the lack of research into the effects of music therapy on this population, anecdotal evidence suggests that the results are rather promising. The aim of this study is to examine whether improvisational, psychodynamically orientated music therapy in an individual setting helps reduce symptoms of depression and improve other health-related outcomes. In particular, attention will be given to mediator agents, such as musical expression and interaction in the sessions, as well as to the explanatory potential of EEG recordings in investigating emotion related music perception of individuals with depr…

Suomalaisten populaarimusiikkiäänitteiden tuotantoprosessit ääniteteknologian murroksessa : "tekniikka tulee menemään eteenpäin, mutta perusasiat ei …

2014

Tämä tutkimus tarkastelee suomalaisten populaarimusiikkiäänitteiden tuotantoprosesseja tuotantoteknologisesta näkökulmasta. Digitaalisen ääniteteknologian demokratisoitumisen myötä kotistudiotoiminta on Suomessa lisääntynyt merkittävästi 1990-luvulta lähtien. Tämän johdosta äänitteen työvaiheita tai kokonaisia valmiita äänitteitä tuotetaan nykyisin kotistudioissa enemmän kuin koskaan aiemmin. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää millä tavoin edellä kuvailemani ääniteteknologian murros näyttäytyy suomalaisten populaarimusiikkiäänitteiden tuotantoprosesseissa. Tarkastelun kohteina tutkimuksessani ovat kaupalliset äänitysstudiot ja levy-yhtiöt. Lähestyn tutkimusongelmaani laadullisen tutkimuk…

Tehtaan varjosta uusiokäytön valoon : Mikkelin Graani - entisestä teollisuusalueesta palveluiden ja asumisen kaupunkiympäristöksi

2017

Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan Mikkelin Tuppuralan kaupunginosan Graanin alueen muutosta entisestä teollisuusalueesta asumisen ja palveluiden kaupunkiympäristöksi. Tutkielman aikajänne alkaa vuodesta 1986, jolloin alueella toiminut mekaanisen metsäteollisuuden yritys, Oy Grahn Ltd, ajautui konkurssiin ja alue vapautui uusiokäytölle. Käsittelyssä huomioidaan deindustrialisaation ja jälkiteollisen yhteiskunnan aiheuttamat monisäikeiset vaikutukset sekä viime vuosikymmenten lähihistoriallisia tapahtumia, jotka ovat vaikuttaneet ratkaisevasti alueen kehitykseen. Tutkimuksen analyysi perustuu tutkimuskirjallisuuden kautta luotuun katsaukseen teollisuusalueiden uusiokäyttömuodoista, sekä entist…

The effects of combining kangaroo care and parental singing on premature infants' and parents' wellbeing and development of parent-infant relationship

2014

After experiencing premature birth, fragile infants have to spend weeks and even months on the ward because of their medical needs. This can be stressful both for parents and infants and increase the risk of early interaction problems and difficulty in bonding. In this qualitative study I was interested to find out what kinds of experiences parents had with parental singing during kangaroo care. I was also interested in examining the nursing staff’s attitudes, observations and thoughts about using music on the ward. I conducted my study within a Kangaroo Families study on the L2 ward at Jorvi hospital, Espoo. My study consists of interviews from 4 mothers that participated in the Kangaroo F…
