Clausal coordination in Finnish Sign Language
2016
This paper deals with the coordination of clauses in Finnish Sign Language (FinSL). Building on conversational data, the paper first shows that linking in conjunctive coordination in FinSL is primarily asyndetic, whereas in adversative and disjunctive coordination FinSL prefers syndetic linking. Secondly, the paper investigates the nonmanual prosody of coordination: nonmanual activity is shown both to mark the juncture of the coordinand clauses and to draw their contours. Finally, the paper addresses certain forms of clausal coordination in FinSL that are sign language-specific. It is suggested that the sign language-specific properties of coordination are caused both by the fact that signe…

MATLAB codes implementing the generalized cross-wavelet transform (GXWT) algorithm described in the paper "Analyzing multidimensional movement interaction with generalized cross-wavelet transform" (Toiviainen & Hartmann, 2021). Basic workflow for multivariate (time by channel) signals d1 and d2: [w1,f] = cwtensor(d1,FS,MINF,MAXF); [w2,f] = cwtensor(d2,FS,MINF,MAXF); [xs p1 p2] = getxwt(w1,w2); NOTE: cwtensor.m requires the Wavelet Toolbox for MATLAB.
Coordination Complexes of a Neutral 1,2,4-Benzotriazinyl Radical Ligand: Synthesis, Molecular and Electronic Structures, andMagnetic Properties
2015
A series of d-block metal complexes of the recently reported coordinating neutral radical ligand 1-phenyl-3-(pyrid-2-yl)-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-4-yl (1) was synthesized. The investigated systems contain the benzotriazinyl radical 1 coordinated to a divalent metal cation, MnII, FeII, CoII, or NiII, with 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonato (hfac) as the auxiliary ligand of choice. The synthesized complexes were fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and electronic structure calculations. The complexes [Mn(1)(hfac)2] and [Fe(1)(hfac)2] displayed antiferromagnetic coupling between the unpaired electrons of the ligand and the meta…
Individual, Family, and Environmental Correlates of Motor Competence in Young Children: Regression Model Analysis of Data Obtained from Two Motor Tes…
2020
Physical activity and motor competence (MC) have been considered to be closely related and prevent childhood obesity. The aim of the study was two-fold: to examine MC measured with two different tools in relation to individual, family, and environmental correlates and to investigate gender differences in MC. The Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Edition (TGMD-3) was administered to three- to seven-year-old children (n = 945), while the Kö
Older adults show elevated intermuscular coherence in eyes‐open standing but only young adults increase coherence in response to closing the eyes
2020
New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Can a 14-week strength-training programme modify intermuscular coherence levels during bipedal standing tasks with eyes open and eyes closed and reduce age-related differences? What is the main finding and its importance? Older adults had more prominent common input over 4–14 Hz with eyes open, but during the eyes-closed task the young adults were able to further enhance their common input at 6–36 Hz. This indicates that young adults are better at modulating common input in different motor tasks. Abstract: Understanding neural control of standing balance is important to identify age-related degeneration and design interventions to ma…
Objectively assessed vigorous physical activity and motor coordination are associated in 11‐year old children
2019
This cross‐sectional study examined the associations between gender, sports club (SC) participation, physical activity (PA), motor coordination (MQ) and object control skill (TC). 11 year‐old children (n = 477) wore accelerometers during seven consecutive days for the analysis of moderate PA (MPA) and vigorous PA (VPA). To detect motor competence (MC), children's motor coordination was measured using the KTK (MQ), and object control skill with throw‐and‐catch task (TC). Sports club (SC) status was obtained by a questionnaire. Boys had higher levels of MPA (F = 50.45, P<0.001) and VPA (F = 11.13, P = 0.001), and were better in TC (F = 39.83, P < 0.001) than girls. SC participants outperforme…
Karl Herman Renlundin taidekokoelma aikansa aatteiden merkkinä
2015
Karl Herman Renlundin taidekokoelma aikansa aatteiden merkkinä Kandintutkielmassani avaan Kokkolalaislähtöisen rautakauppiaan, Karl Herman Renlundin elämänsä aikana kerätyn taidekokoelmaa ja sen luonnetta oman aikansa aatemaailmaa vasten peilaten. Tutkimusta määrittelee kaksi näkökulmaa; kansallisuusaatteen muotoutuminen ja sen vaikutus taidemaailmaan ja taiteeseen sekä taiteenkeräily ja mesenaattius. Nämä kaksi näkökulmaa ovat ne, joiden pohjalta pyrin luomaan yleiskuvan Renlundin ajan Suomesta, taidemaailmasta ja taidekaupasta sekä Renlundin taidekokoelmasta ja sen erityispiirteistä hahmottaen näin mahdollisesti jotain siitä, minkälainen keräilijä ja mesenaatti Renlund mahtoikaan olla sek…
Lasten ryhmäperustainen, verbaalis-kognitiivinen motoriikkaharjoittelu : interventiotutkimus
2010
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää miten opettajat pystyvät seulomaan yleisopetuksen alaluokilta lapsia, joilla on lieviä motorisen oppimisen vaikeuksia. Lisäksi tutkittiin 10 viikkoa kestäneen motoriikkaa kuntouttavan kognitiivisen harjoitusohjelman vaikutuksia. Kolmantena teemana oli motivaation ja mielialan kehittyminen kerhokerran aikana. Harjoitusohjelma toteutettiin koulun iltapäiväkerhona eräässä keskisuomalaisessa koulussa lukuvuonna 2009–2010. Osallistujat seulottiin neljältä alaluokalta (1–2lk) opettajien täyttämällä koordinaatiokyselyllä (Developmental Coordination Disorder -Questionnare, DCDQ ). Harjoittelun vaikutuksia selvitettiin alku-, loppu- ja pysyvyysmittauksilla, jo…
Parkinson's disease and segmental coordination during modified figure of eight walking turning task
2016
Turning while walking is problematic for individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). We hypothesized there would be instability and turning difficulty for the PD subjects while performing a complex motor skill task of the modified figure of eight (MFE) walking task. There were 26 subjects (10 males and 16 females) with clinical diagnosis of “idiopathic” PD and undergoing L-dopa treatment participating in this study. The PD subjects performed the clinical balance modified figure of eight (MFE) test. The 3-D positions of the head, trunk and pelvis were recorded and analyzed. The angular displacement and angular velocity of the head, trunk and pelvis were calculated. Counter-clockwise and clock…
