Pre-conceptional and Peri-Gestational Maternal Binge Alcohol Drinking Produces Inheritance of Mood Disturbances and Alcohol Vulnerability in the Adol…

2018

Although binge drinking is on the rise in women of reproductive age and during pregnancy, the consequences in the offspring, in particular the inheritance of alcohol-related mood disturbances and alcohol abuse vulnerability, are still poorly investigated. In this study, we modeled both Habitual- and Binge Alcohol Drinking (HAD and BAD) in female rats by employing a two-bottle choice paradigm, with 20% alcohol and water. The exposure started 12 weeks before pregnancy and continued during gestation and lactation. The consequences induced by the two alcohol drinking patterns in female rats were assessed before conception in terms of behavioral reactivity, anxiety- and depressive-like behavior.…

C1,α regularity for the normalized p-Poisson problem

2017

We consider the normalized p -Poisson problem − Δ N p u = f in Ω ⊂ R n . The normalized p -Laplacian Δ N p u := | Du | 2 − p Δ p u is in non-divergence form and arises for example from stochastic games. We prove C 1 ,α loc regularity with nearly optimal α for viscosity solutions of this problem. In the case f ∈ L ∞ ∩ C and p> 1 we use methods both from viscosity and weak theory, whereas in the case f ∈ L q ∩ C , q> max( n, p 2 , 2), and p> 2 we rely on the tools of nonlinear potential theory peerReviewed

Kokemuksia laaja-alaisesta opettajuudesta : luokanopettajaksi ja musiikin aineenopettajaksi opiskelevien ammatillisen minäkäsityksen tarkastelua

2013

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan Jyväskylän yliopistossa luokanopettajaksi ja musiikin aineenopettajaksi opiskelevien kokemuksia laaja-alaisesta opettajuudesta. Tarkastelun kohteena ovat koulutukseen hakeutuminen, asiantuntijuus, opettajaidentiteetti sekä tulevaisuus kahden aineen opettajana. Lisäksi hankitaan palautetta koulutuksen kehittämiseksi. Tutkimusintressiin ovat vaikuttaneet tutkijan kokemukset laaja-alaisena opettajaopiskelijana, yhteiskunnan edellyttämä laaja-alaisempi opettajuus ja tutkimustiedon tarve kaksoiskelpoisen koulutuksen kehittämiseksi. Teoreettisessa viitekehyksessä luodaan katsaus opettajuuteen tutkimuskohteena ja määritellään laaja-alaisen opettajuuden käsitettä kelpois…

The relationship between credit ratings and asset liquidity: Evidence from Western European banks

2020

This study examines the role of asset liquidity in Western European banks’ credit rating downgrades and upgrades over the 2005–2017 period. The results suggest that changes in bank credit ratings have been more favorable for banks that have a liquid asset portfolio. Furthermore, asset liquidity has a stronger effect on the credit rating of banks that already have an illiquid asset portfolio. In contrast, the effect is significantly smaller or nonexistent for the most liquid banks. These results imply that the new liquidity regulation introduced by the Basel III requirements will improve the stability and hence decrease the fragility of the European banking sector. Furthermore, the benefits …

Valtion luottokelpoisuusarvion heikentymisen laukaisevat tekijät

2015

Valtioiden luottoluokitukset ovat nousseet kiinnostusta herättäväksi puheenaiheeksi 2000-luvun finanssikriisin myötä. Aiempaa tutkimusta siitä, mitkä tekijät saavat aikaan luokituksen muutoksen, on olemassa hyvin niukalti. Tässä Pro gradu -työssä pyritään löytämään vastaus kysymykseen: Mikä saa valtion luottoluokituksen heikkenemään? Empiirisessä osiossa analysoidaan probit regressio -mallin avulla, mitkä tekijät selittävät luottoluokituksen heikkenemistä. Aineistona on käytetty euro-alueen maiden kansantaloudellisia muuttujia vuosilta 2002 – 2013. Selittäviksi muuttujiksi löydettiin bruttokansantuotteen ja valtion budjetin alijäämän muutos. Empiiristen tulosten perusteella valtiontalouden …

School burnout, depressive symptoms and engagement : Their combined effect on student achievement

2017

Abstract Prior studies have shown that student burnout becomes more prevalent during adolescence and is associated with both depressive symptoms and school engagement. Little is known about how burnout, engagement, and depressive symptoms jointly affect students’ school achievement in terms of grades and skipping class. The main purpose of the current study was to analyse these variables within a full model in order to examine the direct and indirect effects of burnout, engagement and depression on student achievement, while controlling for gender and age. Participants were 210 Italian high school students aged 14 to 16. Student burnout was found to exert the strongest effect on school achi…

Employment and earnings trajectories before and after sickness absence due to major depressive disorder: a nationwide case-control study.

2020

ObjectivesTo examine employment and earnings trajectories before and after the first sickness absence period due to major depressive disorder (MDD).MethodsAll individuals (n=158 813) in Finland who had a first sickness absence period (lasting longer than 9 days) due to MDD between 2005 and 2015 were matched with one randomly selected individual of the same age and gender with no history of MDD. Employment status and earnings were measured using register-based data annually from 2005 to 2015. Generalised estimating equations were used to examine the trajectories of employment and earnings before and after MDD diagnosis in men and women separately.ResultsSickness absence due to MDD was associ…

SPH modeling of blood flow in cerebral aneurysms

Gli aneurismi cerebrali sono dilatazioni patologiche di arterie cerebrali. Queste patologie hanno un intrinseco rischio di rottura con conseguenti emorragie intracraniche. Sebbene i meccanismi di formazione, crescita e rottura degli aneurismi cerebrali non sono ancora del tutto compresi, è comunemente riconosciuto che in questi processi i fattori emodinamici giocano un ruolo molto importante. Le simulazioni numeriche possono fornire utili informazioni sull'emodinamica e possono essere usate per applicazioni cliniche. Nei tradizionali metodi numerici basati su una griglia di calcolo il processo di discretizzazione dei vasi cerebrali sui quali insiste un aneurisma è molto complesso. D’altra p…

The power of status: What determines one's reactions to anger in a social situation?

2017

Abstract The present study examined how social status and gender determine anger expression and behavioral reactions toward experienced anger. In two experiments, anger was induced in a staged social interaction. Behavioral anger reactions were judged by observers. In Experiment 1 ( equal status condition ; N  = 110) participants were provoked by a confederate, in Experiment 2 ( low status condition ; N  = 116) participants were provoked by the experimenter. We found that participants expressed their anger to a lesser extent, were less resistant, and engaged in submissive behaviors if they had a lower status than the anger-target. As expected, gender had a moderating effect: While women's a…

Relations Between Suicidal Ideation, Depression, and Emotional Autonomy from Parents in Adolescence

2010

We examined the relations between depression, emotional autonomy quality-related constructs of separation and detachment, and suicidal ideation, focusing on the unique and common contribution that depression, separation and detachment made to suicidal ideation. We also examined gender differences. 403 adolescents, 196 boys and 207 girls, completed self-report measures of depression, separation and detachment, and suicidal ideation. The data showed a significant relation between depression and suicidal ideation both for boys and girls, and between detachment and suicidal ideation only for boys. Results for boys supported an additive model such that depression and detachment each contributed …
