Koulutusvienti – todellinen aarre : Agenda 2030 haasteet ratkaistavissa globaalisti : ”Ei meillä oppilaitostasolla ole hajuakaan siitä mitä koulutusv…
2021
Pro gradu -tutkielmassa tarkoituksena oli selvittää suomalaisen koulutusviennin tekijöitä Varalan Urheiluopiston koulutustoiminnan kansainvälisen suunnittelun tarpeisiin. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on asiantuntijoiden näkemysten avulla tukea päätavoitetta. Tämän tutkimuksen erityisenä käytännön tavoitteena oli tuottaa Varalalle askelmerkkejä kansainvälisen toiminnan suunnitteluun kehittämismenetelmän keinoin. Tutkimus on laadullinen tutkimus ja aineistonkeruumenetelmänä tutkimuksessa käytettiin puolistrukturoitua kyselylomaketta (N=8) sekä puolistrukturoitua yksilöhaastattelua (N=6). Kyselyyn vastanneet sekä haastateltavat valikoituivat instituutionaalisen asemansa perusteella. Laadullisen ain…
Age-related muscle activation profiles and joint stiffness regulation in repetitive hopping
2011
It is well documented that increasing effort during exercise is characterized by an increase in electromyographic activity of the relevant muscles. How aging influences this relationship is a matter of great interest. In the present study, nine young and 24 elderly subjects did repetitive hopping with maximal effort as well as with 50%, 65%, 75% and 90% intensities. During hopping joint kinematics were measured together with electromyographic activity (EMG) from the soleus, gastrocnemius medialis, gastrocnemius lateralis and tibialis anterior muscles. The results showed that agonist activation increased in both age groups with increasing intensity. The highest jumping efficiency (EMG ratio …
Unemployment, Personality Traits, and the Use of Facebook
2021
Different personality traits respond differently to unfavourable life situations. Unemployment can have several negative social, economic, and domestic consequences. Many people use social media for a variety of reasons. The aim of this study is to examine the way different personality traits respond to Facebook in the period of unemployment. Data was obtained from 3,002 unemployed respondents in Nigeria. The study used regression model to analyse the data. Among the five personality traits, results indicated that the relationship between neuroticism and online social support was negative. However, the relationship between online social support and satisfaction was positive. The study highl…
Mathematical Fuzzy Logic in the Emerging Fields of Engineering, Finance, and Computer Sciences
2022
With more than 50 years of literature, fuzzy logic has gradually progressed from an emerging field to a developed research domain, incorporating the sub-domain of mathematical fuzzy logic (MFL) [...]
An algebraic multigrid based shifted-Laplacian preconditioner for the Helmholtz equation
2007
A preconditioner defined by an algebraic multigrid cycle for a damped Helmholtz operator is proposed for the Helmholtz equation. This approach is well suited for acoustic scattering problems in complicated computational domains and with varying material properties. The spectral properties of the preconditioned systems and the convergence of the GMRES method are studied with linear, quadratic, and cubic finite element discretizations. Numerical experiments are performed with two-dimensional problems describing acoustic scattering in a cross-section of a car cabin and in a layered medium. Asymptotically the number of iterations grows linearly with respect to the frequency while for lower freq…
A damping preconditioner for time-harmonic wave equations in fluid and elastic material
2009
A physical damping is considered as a preconditioning technique for acoustic and elastic wave scattering. The earlier preconditioners for the Helmholtz equation are generalized for elastic materials and three-dimensional domains. An algebraic multigrid method is used in approximating the inverse of damped operators. Several numerical experiments demonstrate the behavior of the method in complicated two-dimensional and three-dimensional domains. peerReviewed
"Sitä vaan hengitetään, joskus yksin ja joskus yhdessä" : tapaustutkimus sosiaalisen fobian tuomista haasteista terapeuttisen yhteistyösuhteen muodos…
2014
Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää sosiaalisen fobian vaikutusta terapeuttisen yhteistyösuhteen rakentumiseen yhden kokonaisen terapiaprosessin aikana. Lisäksi tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kuvata asiakkaan ja terapeutin kokemia yhteistyösuhteeseen liittyviä haasteita sekä tarkastella niitä Bordinin (1979) yhteistyösuhteen teorian valossa. Aineistomme koostuu yhdestä Jyväskylän yliopiston opetus- ja tutkimusklinikalle sosiaalisen fobian vuoksi hakeutuneen asiakkaan koko 54 istuntoa kattavasta terapiaprosessista. Tutkielma on luonteeltaan laadullinen tapaustutkimus, jonka analyysimenetelmänä käytämme tapaustutkimusten ja pienten aineistojen tutkimiseen kehitettyä tulkitsev…

Pain modulates early sensory brain responses to task‐irrelevant emotional faces
2023
Background Pain can have a significant impact on an individual's life, as it has both cognitive and affective consequences. However, our understanding of how pain affects social cognition is limited. Previous studies have shown that pain, as an alarm stimulus, can disrupt cognitive processing when focal attention is required, but whether pain also affects task-irrelevant perceptual processing is unclear. Methods We examined the effect of laboratory-induced pain on event-related potentials (ERPs) to neutral, sad, and happy faces before, during, and after a cold pressor pain. ERPs reflecting different stages of visual processing (P1, N170, and P2) were analyzed. Results Pain decreased the P1 …
Loss of density-dependence and incomplete control by dominant breeders in a territorial species with density outbreaks
2011
Abstract Background A territory as a prerequisite for breeding limits the maximum number of breeders in a given area, and thus lowers the proportion of breeders if population size increases. However, some territorially breeding animals can have dramatic density fluctuations and little is known about the change from density-dependent processes to density-independence of breeding during a population increase or an outbreak. We suggest that territoriality, breeding suppression and its break-down can be understood with an incomplete-control model, developed for social breeders and social suppression. Results We studied density dependence in an arvicoline species, the bank vole, known as a terri…
