The vulnerability to exploitation of women migrant workers in agriculture in the EU: The need for a human rights and gender based approach
2018
This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, explores the working conditions of migrant women in agriculture in the EU, focusing on some case studies in Italy and Spain. In particular, it aims to examine the factors that render women vulnerable to exploitation, paying attention to gendered dynamics and power relations. The study contends that to prevent and combat exploitation in agriculture it is necessary to implement concerted actions aimed at tackling, from a human rights and gender perspective, the structural factors of a socio-economic syste…

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) [...]
Alkiolaisuus nykypäivän nuorisoseurakasvatuksessa
2012
Tutkimuksessa selvitetään suomalaisten nuorisoseuratoimijoiden itsensä esittämää kysymystä siitä, toteutuvatko alkiolaiset nuorisoseuraihanteet nykyisessä nuorisoseuratoiminnassa. Ensimmäiset nuorisoseurat hakivat muotoaan 1900-luvun taitteessa, jolloin Santeri Alkio muotoili puuhamiehenä aatteen suuntaviivoja. Alkio pyrki kohottamaan nuorisoseurojen avulla alimpien kansankerrosten nuorison sivistystasoa ja tietoisuutta omasta yhteiskunnallisesta tilastaan. Tätä päämäärää kohti hän lähti kulkemaan nuorisoseuroissa toteutettavan itsekasvatuksen idean avulla. Alkion tuolloin nuorisoseurakasvatukselle asettamat tavoitteet muodostavat tutkimuksen ideologisen pohjan. Tutkielma käsittelee kahta t…
Asthma, allergies and respiratory symptoms in different activity groups of swimmers exercising in swimming halls
2021
Abstract Background Respiratory symptoms are common in competitive swimmers. However, among these and in swimmers at other activity levels the swimming distance, the total spent time in swimming halls and their medical background varies. Our objectives were, first, to assess their medical histories and the associations with respiratory symptoms among swimmers in different activity groups and then second, to study the pulmonary function findings and related medications in competitive swimmers who exercise in swimming hall environments the most. Methods First, 1118 participants consisting of 133 competitive-, 734 fitness- and 251 occasional swimmers answered questionnaires concerning their me…
"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…
An AmI-Based Software Architecture Enabling Evolutionary Computation in Blended Commerce: The Shopping Plan Application
2015
This work describes an approach to synergistically exploit ambient intelligence technologies, mobile devices, and evolutionary computation in order to support blended commerce or ubiquitous commerce scenarios. The work proposes a software architecture consisting of three main components: linked data for e-commerce, cloud-based services, and mobile apps. The three components implement a scenario where a shopping mall is presented as an intelligent environment in which customers use NFC capabilities of their smartphones in order to handle e-coupons produced, suggested, and consumed by the abovesaid environment. The main function of the intelligent environment is to help customers define shopp…
Sensor Mining for User Behavior Profiling in Intelligent Environments
2011
The proposed system exploits sensor mining methodologies to profile user behaviors patterns in an intelligent workplace. The work is based in the assumption that users’ habit profiles are implicitly described by sensory data, which explicitly show the consequences of users’ actions over the environment state. Sensor data are analyzed in order to infer relationships of interest between environmental variables and the user, detecting in this way behavior profiles. The system is designed for a workplace equipped in the context of Sensor9k, a project carried out at the Department of Computer Science of Palermo University.
Changes in sprint performance and sagittal plane kinematics after heavy resisted sprint training in professional soccer players
2019
Background Sprint performance is an essential skill to target within soccer, which can be likely achieved with a variety of methods, including different on-field training options. One such method could be heavy resisted sprint training. However, the effects of such overload on sprint performance and the related kinetic changes are unknown in a professional setting. Another unknown factor is whether violating kinematic specificity via heavy resistance will lead to changes in unloaded sprinting kinematics. We investigated whether heavy resisted sled training (HS) affects sprint performance, kinetics, sagittal plane kinematics, and spatiotemporal parameters in professional male soccer players.…
Reporting, Reflecting and Recognising Emotions in Therapeutic Work with Domestic Violence Perpetrators : Experiences of the Jyväskylä Group Model
2020
Emotions are central in therapeutic work, but interventions for violence vary in how they address emotions. While emotional work with perpetrators is often associated with ‘anger management’ and behavioural elements, a more comprehensive view of emotions might be beneficial in efforts to stop and prevent violent behaviour. Perpetrators’ self-regulation can be promoted by recognising and addressing primary feelings (vulnerability, fear, jealousy, etc.) that may manifest as anger and aggressive behaviour. However, this kind of therapeutic work with perpetrators of violence is also challenging for professionals. For example, when working towards ending violence, it is crucial to differentiate …
