Kirjaston tulevaisuus ja nykyisyys: retrofuturistinen tarkastelu
2012
Miten kirjastoille käy tulevaisuudessa? Kimmo Tuominen peilaa artikkelissaan kirjastoalan tulevaisuudesta esitettyjä ennusteita niiden toteutumiseen Jyväskylän yliopiston kirjastossa. Teknologinen kehitys on väistämätöntä ja asiakkaiden tarpeisiin voidaan sen myötä vastata aiempaa paremmin. Muutokset eivät kuitenkaan ole äkillisiä tai aikaisempia palvelumuotoja poissulkevia. Kirjasto fyysisenä tilana ei myöskään ole menettämässä asemaansa. Se toimii edelleen yliopistoyhteisön ytimessä ja rakentaa käyttäjälähtöistä sekä tarkoituksenmukaista tietoympäristöä. nonPeerReviewed
Flow changes and geochemical anomalies in warm and cold springs associated with the 1992-1994 seismic sequence at Pollina, Central Sicily, Italy
2007
During a three-year discontinuous geochemical monitoring of some warm springs and cold discharges located in central-northern Sicily, some hydro-geochemical changes were observed. Excluding a possible related to a moderate seismic activity were accidentally identified. The observed anomalies showed amplitudes that were modulated by the different geometries and volumes of the feeding aquifers. A poroelastic aquifer contraction, a shaking-induced dilatancy theory as well as seismogenetic-induced changes in the properties of the aquifers have been proposed as possible mechanisms for the water flow and hydro-geochemical changes. These preliminary results could be used to design a monitoring net…
G-CLASS: geosynchronous radar for water cycle science – orbit selection and system design
2019
The mission geosynchronous – continental land atmosphere sensing system (G-CLASS) is designed to study thediurnal water cycle, using geosynchronous radar. Although the water cycle is vital to human society, processes on timescalesless than a day are very poorly observed from space. G-CLASS, using C-band geosynchronous radar, could transform this. Itsscience objectives address intense storms and high resolution weather prediction, and significant diurnal processes such assnow melt and soil moisture change, with societal impacts including agriculture, water resource management, flooding, andlandslides. Secondary objectives relate to ground motion observations for earthquake, volcano, and subs…

Farm-Scale Crop Yield Prediction from Multi-Temporal Data Using Deep Hybrid Neural Networks
2021
Farm-scale crop yield prediction is a natural development of sustainable agriculture, producing a rich amount of food without depleting and polluting environmental resources. Recent studies on crop yield production are limited to regional-scale predictions. The regional-scale crop yield predictions usually face challenges in capturing local yield variations based on farm management decisions and the condition of the field. For this research, we identified the need to create a large and reusable farm-scale crop yield production dataset, which could provide precise farm-scale ground-truth prediction targets. Therefore, we utilise multi-temporal data, such as Sentinel-2 satellite images, weath…
Beta-Decay Half-Lives and Neutron-Emission Probabilities of Very Neutron-Rich Y to Tc Isotopes
1996
Neutron-rich {sub 39}Y to {sub 43}Tc isotopes have been produced by fission of uranium with a 50MeV H{sub 2}{sup +} beam. Beta-decay half-lives, delayed neutron-emission probabilities, and production yields have been measured and compared with theory. Beta decay of 4 new isotopes is reported, and the {beta}-delayed neutron-emission mode has been discovered for 12 isotopes of the elements niobium and technetium. The results compared to quasiparticle random phase approximation predictions indicate the increasing importance of fast {beta} transitions to high-lying states of nuclei with large neutron excess. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
Sauna bathing is associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality and improves risk prediction in men and women: a prospective cohort study.
2018
Background Previous evidence indicates that sauna bathing is related to a reduced risk of fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in men. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sauna habits and CVD mortality in men and women, and whether adding information on sauna habits to conventional cardiovascular risk factors is associated with improvement in prediction of CVD mortality risk. Methods Sauna bathing habits were assessed at baseline in a sample of 1688 participants (mean age 63; range 53–74 years), of whom 51.4% were women. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated to investigate the relationships of frequency and duration of sauna use with C…
Efficient design and modeling strategies for follow-up studies with time-varying covariates
2015
Epidemiological studies can often be designed in several ways, some of which may be more optimal than others. Possible designs may differ in the required resources or the ability to provide reliable answers to the questions under study. In addition, once the data are collected, the selected modeling approach may affect how efficiently the data are utilized. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate efficient designs and analysis meth ods in follow-up studies with longitudinal measurements. A key question is how to select optimally a subcohort for a new longitudinal covariate measurement if we cannot afford to measure the entire cohort. Another key question we consider is how to determine …
Early prediction of reading : phonological awareness and related language and cognitive skills in children with a familial risk for dyslexia
2007
PsL Anne Puolakanaho selvitti väitöstutkimuksessaan, miten leikki-ikäisten 3 - 5-vuotiaiden lasten kielelliset ja kognitiiviset taidot ovat yhteydessä lukemisen virheettömyyteen ja sujuvuuteen kouluiässä. Puolakanaho tutki myös, missä määrin dysleksiaa eli sitkeää lukemisvaikeutta voidaan ennakoida lapsikohtaisesti, yksilöllisten riskitekijöiden perusteella jo huomattavasti ennen esikouluikää. Aiemmin lukutaitoa ennustavaa tutkimusta on tehty vanhemmilla lapsilla ja lähinnä kirjoitusjärjestelmältään epäsäännöllisessä englannin kielessä. - Myös kirjoitusjärjestelmältään säännönmukaisessa suomen kielessä leikki-ikäisten fonologis-kielelliset taidot kuten kyky tunnistaa puheesta tavuja ja äänt…
Multi-Biomarker Profiling and Recurrent Hospitalizations in Heart Failure.
2016
Altres ajuts: Fundació La Marató de TV3 (no.201502-30), Sociedad Española de Cardiología, Societat Catalana de Cardiologia Despite advances in pharmacologic therapy and devices, patients with heart failure (HF) continue to have significant rehospitalization rates and risk prediction remains challenging. We sought to explore the value of a multi-biomarker panel [including NT-proBNP, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-TnT), and ST2] on top of clinical assessment for long-term prediction of recurrent hospitalizations in HF. NT-proBNP, hs-TnT, and ST2 (suppression of tumorigenicity-2) levels were measured in 891 consecutive ambulatory HF patients. The independent association between the mu…
