Social, occupational and cultural adaptation in Antarctica
2017
International audience; Objectives & Method: This study investigated psychological, social, occupational and cultural variables in adaptation to a one-year wintering in Antarctica with 13 international participants. Results & Conclusion: These psychosocial issues have important implications for pre-mission selection and training, monitoring and support of crews during the mission and post-mission readaptation highlighting the role of psychologists in stressful and extreme situations.
Arjen sankarittaret : työssäkäyvien äitien kellotettu elämänvaihe
2012
Tässä tutkimuksessa perehdyttiin työssäkäyvien päiväkoti- ja kouluikäisten lasten äitien elämänvaiheeseen. Tutkimus toteutettiin osana Likes -tutkimuskeskuksen hanketta Liikuntakynnyksen yli – vähäinen liikunta aikuisten elämäntapana, jossa pyritään parantamaan niiden väestöryhmien liikunta-aktiivisuutta, joilla tutkitusti on liikkumaton elämäntapa. Tarkoituksena oli vähän liikkuvien äitien arjen tutkimisen kautta saada vastauksia siihen, miten äidit suunnittelevat ja toteuttavat ajankäyttöään ja miksi liikunnalle ei ole tilaa. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin teemahaastatteluilla. Kahdeksan enemmän liikuntaa arkeensa haluavaa äitiä osallistui yksilöhaastatteluun, jossa heiltä kysyttiin ajankäytt…
Browsing the information highway while driving: three in-vehicle touch screen scrolling methods and driver distraction
2012
Distraction effects of three alternative touch screen scrolling methods for searching music tracks on a mobile device were studied in a driving simulation experiment with 24 participants. Page-bypage scrolling methods with Buttons or Swipe that better facilitate resumption of visual search following interruptions were expected to lead to more consistent in-vehicle glance durations and thus, on less severe distraction effects than Kinetic scrolling. As predicted, Kinetic scrolling induced decreased visual sampling efficiency and increased visual load compared to Swipe, increased experienced workload compared to both Buttons and Swipe, as well as decreased lane keeping accuracy compared to ba…

Salaviinarinkien toimintaympäristöt Helsingissä 1770-1787
2017
Tutkielma käsittelee salaviinarinkien toimintaympäristöjä vuosien 1770–1787 Helsingissä. Aikakautta määritti Kustaa III:n ailahtelevainen alkoholipolitiikka (1772–1787), jonka vuoksi arkinen viinanpoltto muuttui laittomaksi toiminnaksi. Samalla kriminalisoitiin muun muassa laittomasti poltetun viinan hallussapito ja myynti. Lisäksi alkoholinkäyttöä rajoittivat vanhemmat lait, jotka tähtäsivät ylenjuonnin aiheuttamien järjestyshäiriöiden siistimiseen pois julkisesta tilasta. Varhaismodernilla ajalla alkoholin käyttö oli runsasta ja kuului kiinteänä osana arkeen sekä juhlaan. Lainsäädännön ristiriita tapakulttuurin kanssa muodosti julkisten salaisuuksien kulttuurin, jossa rikollista toimintaa…
Muscle Function Differences between Patients with Bulbar and Spinal Onset Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Does It Depend on Peripheral Glucose?
2021
Background: One of the pathogenic mechanisms of ALS disease is perturbed energy metabolism particularly glucose metabolism. Given the substantial difference in the severity and the prognosis of the disease, depending on whether it has a bulbar or spinal onset, the aim of the study was to determine metabolic differences between both types of ALS, as well as the possible relationship with muscle function. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, analytical, quantitative, and transversal study was carried out in hospitals and Primary Care centers in the region of Valencia, Spain. Fasting glucose and alkaline phosphatase (AP) levels in venous blood, muscle percentage, fat percentage, muscle streng…
Untargeted metabolomics of rind essential oils allowed to differentiate two closely related clementine varieties
2021
[EN] Chemical characterization of clementine varieties (Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan.) essential oils (EO) can lead to variety identification and valorization of their potential use in food and aroma industries. The goal of this study was the chemometric discrimination between two very closely related and morphologically identical clementine varieties, Clemenules (NL) and Clemenpons (PO), based on their rind EO, to identify the differential volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and to determine their antioxidant capacity. EO rind volatile profile was determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry in Citrus fruit at different ripening stages grown two independent years in two di…
The impact of two-dimensional perfectionism on burnout and eating disorders in young Finnish athletes : comparison between males and females
2014
Matilda Sorkkila, 2014. The impact of two-dimensional perfectionism on burnout and eating disorders in young Finnish athletes: comparison between males and females. Master’s Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences. University of Jyväskylä. 40 p. Even though it has been argued that perfectionistic strivings might be adaptive and perfectionistic concerns might be maladaptive in sports, only few studies have viewed these dimensions in relation to athletes’ mental health. Two mental health problems that have been found in elevated amounts in young elite athletes are burnout and eating disorders. It has been proposed that perfectionism might impact the development o…
Medical Attendance in Air Transportation of Patients
1985
SummaryAir transportation missions of seriously ill or injured patients are subdivided into rescue missions and medical evacuation missions. In 1981, for rescue missions, 29 stationed rescue helicopters were available with an operation radius of 50 km. Their task consisted of securing the primary care for vital risk patients as soon as possible. Medical evacuation missions were realized by helicopter, ambulance aircraft, and airliner. Before take-off a medical briefing was held to diminish the transport-trauma. Patients with cardiopulmonary insufficiency are at risk as simultaneous appearance of acceleration, climbing rate, falling cabin pressure and emotional stress may produce serious com…
