The associations between seventh grade Finnish students’ motivational climate, perceived competence, self-determined motivation, and fundamental move…

2009

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between motivational climate, perceived competence, self-determined motivation towards physical education (PE) and the fundamental movement skills of Finnish secondary school students. A sample of 370 seventh-grade PE students (girls n = 189; boys n = 181; mean age = 13.08; SD = 0.25) completed measures pertaining to motivational climates, perceived competence, regulation of motivation, and fundamental movement skills. Path analysis revealed results generally consistent with the theoretical tenets of the self-determination and the achievement goal theories by demonstrating that a task-involving motivational climate influenced percei…

Influence of Dynamics on The Analysis of Solid-State NMR Data From Membrane-bound Peptides

2009

By isotope labeling of membrane-bound peptides, typically with 2H, 19F, or 15N, solid-state NMR experiments can yield data from which the orientation of peptides in a native membrane environment can be determined. Such an orientation is defined by a tilt angle and an azimuthal rotation angle.Here we show that to obtain correct values of the orientation angles, it is important to include dynamics in the analysis of the NMR data. Nevertheless the effects of dynamics are different depending on the type of isotope labeling and NMR experiment considered.To analyze the influence of dynamics in detail, we generated virtual NMR observables using a model peptide undergoing explicit Gaussian fluctuat…

A Comprehensive Mechanism Reproducing the Mass and Mixing Parameters of Quarks and Leptons

2013

It is shown that if, from the starting point of a universal rank-one mass matrix long favored by phenomenologists, one adds the assumption that it rotates (changes its orientation in generation space) with changing scale, one can reproduce, in terms of only six real parameters, all the 16 mass ratios and mixing parameters of quarks and leptons. Of these 16 quantities so reproduced, 10 for which data exist for direct comparison (i.e. the CKM elements including the CP-violating phase, the angles theta(12), theta(13), theta(23) in nu-oscillation, and the masses m(c), m(mu), m(e)) agree well with experiment, mostly to within experimental errors; four others (m(s), m(u), m(d), m(nu 2)), the expe…

Consistent measurements of alpha(s) from precise oriented event shape distributions

2000

An updated analysis using about 1.5 million events recorded at $\sqrt{s} = M_Z$ with the DELPHI detector in 1994 is presented. Eighteen infrared and collinear safe event shape observables are measured as a function of the polar angle of the thrust axis. The data are compared to theoretical calculations in ${\cal O} (\alpha_s^2)$ including the event orientation. A combined fit of $\alpha_s$ and of the renormalization scale $x_{\mu}$ in $\cal O(\alpha_s^2$) yields an excellent description of the high statistics data. The weighted average from 18 observables including quark mass effects and correlations is $\alpha_s(M_Z^2) = 0.1174 \pm 0.0026$. The final result, derived from the jet cone energ…

Euro Crisis and plurality: Does the political orientation of newspapers determine the selection and spin of information?

2016

This article studies the impact of right and left moderate political orientation of newspapers on the levels of plurality in the news coverage of the Euro Crisis in 20 newspapers from 10 European countries through a methodology based on Simpson’s D index. The expectation of finding distinct patterns of coverage leading to high levels of plurality was not fully supported and the results have shown that national frames influence levels of overall plurality more than political ideology.

The stenopaeic slit: an analytical expression to quantify its optical effects in front of an astigmatic eye.

2001

The stenopaeic slit is a trial case accessory used in subjective refraction, especially when high astigmatism is present. In spite of its simplicity, the effect of the slit when it is not oriented along one of the principal meridians of the examined eye is difficult to predict, even in terms of classical geometrical optics. In this paper, the optical principles of the slit are considered with full details in the theoretical framework of the dioptric power space. An analytical expression to obtain the residual refractive error when a stenopaeic slit is placed in front of an astigmatic eye at any orientation is deduced. In the light of these results, some aspects of the clinical procedure are…

Spousal support for personal goals and relationship satisfaction among women during the transition to parenthood

2010

The aim of this three-wave cross-lagged longitudinal study was to examine the prospective relationships between women’s goal-related spousal support and their relationship satisfaction during the transition to parenthood. Two-hundred and forty-six Finnish women who were either married or cohabited (45% primiparous; 55% multiparous) filled in questionnaires on personal projects (Little, 1983) and related spousal support, relationship satisfaction (Spanier, 1976), and background data three times: in their early pregnancy; one month before childbirth; and three months after childbirth. Among the primiparous women the results showed a cumulative cycle of goal-related spousal support and relati…

La percepción de amenaza física en la pareja y el bienestar en la juventud

2021

El presente trabajo estudia la percepción de amenaza hacia la seguridad y/o integridad física en las relaciones de pareja durante la juventud en relación con variables del bienestar personal y de pareja en la actualidad. Participaron 316 jóvenes entre 18 y 36 años (M=23.61; DT=3.678), 72.47% se identificaron con el género femenino. Respecto a la orientación sexual, 64.87% fueron heterosexuales y 35.12% de otras orientaciones sexuales. Se evaluó la percepción de amenaza física en la pareja actual y relaciones pasadas (preguntas ad hoc), el bienestar con la pareja actual (SWRS), la satisfacción con la relación (RAS) y el bienestar subjetivo (SWLS y SPANE). La recogida de datos se realizó onli…
