Work–Family Boundary Management Profiles in Two Finnish Samples : A Person-oriented Approach

2015

Background: The present study aims to identify different work-family boundary management profiles among Finnish employees, and examine how these relate to conflict between work and family or their mutual enrichment. Method: Participants from two samples, one consisting of university staff (n1 = 1,139) and another of nurses (n2 = 271), were asked to respond to an online survey concerning work-family boundary management, work-to-family enrichment, and work-to-family conflict scales. Results: A cluster analysis identified three profiles in both samples: segmentors, integrators and favoring family over work in the university sample, and segmentors, integrators and favoring work over family in t…

Porównanie stopnia uszkodzenia mięśnia sercowego po zastosowaniu kardioplegii krwistej i krystaloidowej u pacjentów poddanych zabiegowi izolowanej wy…

Wstęp: Kardioplegina jest środkiem używanym do tymczasowego zatrzymywania czynności elektromechanicznej serca w zabiegach kardiochirurgicznych. Jest to roztwór o wysokiej zawartości jonów potasu podawany do tętnic wieńcowych w postaci zmieszanej z krwią pacjenta z oksygenatora (kardioplegina krwista) lub w postaci roztworu krystaloidowego (kardioplegina krystaloidowa). W dotychczasowych badaniach w większości wykazano wyższość kardiopleginy krwistej nad krystaliczną w operacjach pomostowania aortalno-wieńcowego (CABG). Celem niniejszego badania było sprawdzenie, czy u pacjentów poddanych izolowanemu zabiegowi wymiany zastawki aortalnej (AVR), podobnie jak w przypadku pacjentów poddanych CAB…

Emergence and Disappearance of an Immune Molecule, an Antimicrobial Lectin, in Basal Metazoa

2003

Sponges (phylum Porifera) represent the evolutionarily oldest metazoans that comprise already a complex immune system and are related to the crown taxa of the protostomians and the deuterostomians. Here, we demonstrate the existence of a tachylectin-related protein in the demosponge Suberites domuncula, termed Suberites lectin. The MAPK pathway was activated in response to lipopolysaccharide treatment of the three-dimensional cell aggregates, the primmorphs; this process was abolished by the monosaccharide D-GlcNAc. The cDNA encoding the S. domuncula lectin was identified and cloned; it comprises 238 amino acids (26 kDa) in the open reading frame. The deduced protein has one potential trans…

Co-dynamics in engendering innovations through collaborative leadership - A complexity-based approach

2013

The paper presents ten co-dynamics that are supposed to be those underlying forces and powers that bring about an innovation creation process. The co-dynamics as unpredictable movements have been found by a Grounded Theory approach from two large-scale data. Parts of the other data serve here as the empirical source. In order to comprehend the nature of the co-dynamic, the notion of collaborative leadership is exploited. It includes both human participants and tangible elements, such as activities, practices, measures, or tools when synergy is gained. Collaborative leadership is supposed to be, at the same time, both the very source and the result of the dynamical movements. nonPeerReviewed

Exploring the collaborative synthesis of information during online reading

2019

Abstract This descriptive study sought to understand the complexities of integrative processing during collaborative online reading. Student pairs constructed a collaborative understanding while reading online information about a controversial issue by connecting, combining and organizing information that originated from prior knowledge, self-selected online texts, and discussions during an online inquiry task. Thirty-eight students from an upper secondary school in Finland worked in pairs to read online information and write an essay with the help of an argument graph tool. Primary data sources consisted of: prior knowledge; discussions; notes recorded with a graphic representational tool;…

How Do Young Adults Orchestrate Their Multiple Achievement-Related Goals? Associations of Achievement Goal Orientations With Identity Formation and G…

2016

Young adults strive for multiple achievement goals. Frameworks for achievement goal orientations, personal goals, and identity formation have emphasized the role of goal-specific exploration and commitment in the interpretation of goals. However, researchers have yet to combine these different perspectives in an empirical study. Therefore, to explore the processes involved in the selection of multiple goals, the present study investigated the associations of young adults’ achievement goal orientations (mastery-intrinsic, mastery-extrinsic, performance-approach, performance-avoidance, and work-avoidance orientations) with distinct styles of exploring and committing to goals, by considering d…

Enterprise Architecture : A Perspective on How Far We Have Come, and Directions for the Future

2019

Enterprise Architecture (EA) appears to retain the attention of both practitioners and researchers, as the technological complexity of organizations grows. Several researchers have noted that research on EA has been diversifying over time, leading to inconsistent use of terminologies. Further, the benefit claims and other results, rather frequently, are not based on empirical evidence. These shortfalls in research on EA impede EA from maturing as a discipline and from demonstrating its benefit claims. Although there are reasons to believe that the research on EA has progressed, the extent of the progress and the directions for future research are not evident. This study draws on a meta-revi…
