Early life determinants of frailty in old age : the Helsinki Birth Cohort Stud
2018
Background there is evidence suggesting that several chronic diseases have their origins in utero and that development taking place during sensitive periods may affect the aging process. We investigated whether early life determinants would be associated with frailty in old age. Methods at a mean age of 71 years, 1,078 participants belonging to the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study were assessed for frailty according to the Fried frailty criteria. Early life measurements (birth weight, length, mother body mass index [BMI] and parity) were obtained from birth, child welfare and school health records. Multinomial regression analysis was used to assess the association between early life determinants…
Temperature effects explain continental scale distribution of cyanobacterial toxins
2018
Insight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing attention is given to other classes, such as neurotoxins (e.g., anatoxin-a) and cytotoxins (e.g., cylindrospermopsin) due to their potency. Most studies examine the relationship between individual toxin variants and environmental factors, such as nutrients, temperature and light. In summer 2015, we collected samples across Europe to investigate the effect of nutrient and temperature gradients on the variability of toxin production at a continental scale. Direct and indirect…
A Novel Fast Volumetric Light Sheet Microscopy
2016
Fast noninvasive three-dimensional (3D) imaging is crucial for the quantitative understanding of highly dynamic biological processes. Over the last decades, several fluorescence microscopy techniques have been developed in order to provide a faster and deeper imaging of thick biological samples [1]. Within this framework, Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) has emerged as a powerful imaging tool for 3D imaging of thick samples ranging from single cells to entire animals [2,3].However, to obtain a 3D reconstruction either sample or microscope parts usually need to be moved limiting the acquisition speed and inducing possible interferences in volume recording. To solve this problem, he…
Fashion-driven Textiles as A Crystal of A New Stream for Stakeholder Capitalism : Amazon’s Endeavor
2020
Fashion reflects changes in socio-economic and cultural life which, in turn, changes fashion, and apparel boosts such change. Thus, in response to a shift in people’s preferences from economic functionality to supra-functionality beyond an economic value, the fashion industry has been gaining momentum worldwide. In the digital economy, the fashion industry is in the midst of global dynamic change stimulating volatility, velocity, variety and dynamism, which necessitate a digital solution. Digital business leader Amazon has succeeded in constructing an R&D-driven disruptive businesss model. This can be attributed to a virtuous cycle among user-driven innovation, advancement of the Internet, …
How perceived value drives the use of mobile financial services apps
2019
Mobile information services have revolutionized business models and service delivery methods by facilitating consumer access to information and order placement via mobile apps. In developed markets, mobile banking (m-banking) and mobile payment (m-payment) applications have replaced text-based mobile services. However, extant research has not addressed these mobile financial services apps (MFSAs) adequately from the perspective of consumer behavior. Thus, the present study developed and tested a series of hypotheses related to the antecedents of perceived value of MFSA use; it also examined how such use affects the development of customers’ overall relationships with banks. Our hypotheses w…
Effectuation Logic in Digital Business Model Transformation : Insights from Japanese High-Tech Innovators
2019
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study how digital business models evolve when entrepreneurs move to new digital platforms and how this evolution is related to effectuation and causation logics. Design/methodology/approach This study applies a multiple case study approach to investigate how digital business models change in small, Japanese high-tech firms providing their innovations through different digital platforms. To investigate digital business models, this study considers the elements that comprise general business models. The case firms were selected based on size, products and transitions from physical to various digital platforms. Semi-structured interviews were conducted …

Temperamenttipiirteiden yhteys liikunnan päättöarvosanoihin
2014
Emmi-Riina Meriläinen ja Salla Rasinmäki (2014). Oppilaiden temperamenttipiirteiden yhteys liikunnan päättöarvosanoihin. Liikuntakasvatuksen laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu -tutkielma, 71 s., 2 liitettä. Tutkielmamme tarkoituksena oli selvittää oppilaiden liikunnan päättöarvosanojen ja temperamenttipiirteiden välisiä yhteyksiä. Tarkastelimme myös sitä, miten heikompia (7) ja korkeampia (9–10) arvosanoja saaneiden oppilaiden temperamentit eroavat toisistaan. Tutkimus antaa tietoa myös sukupuolten välisistä eroista temperamenttipiirteissä ja liikunnan päättöarvosanoissa. Tutkielmamme kohdejoukkona olivat riihimäkeläisen yläkoulun 9. luokan oppilaat (n=80). Kohdejo…

Kształcenie świadomości językowej w gimnazjum – lekcje gramatyki
2015
W publikacji podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, jak na poziomie gimnazjum realizowane są zapisy podstawy programowej z 2008 r. w zakresie świadomości językowej, w jaki sposób uczy się gramatyki języka polskiego i jakie wyniki uzyskują uczniowie. Materiał badawczy stanowiły dane zebrane w trakcie realizacji badania Dydaktyka literatury i języka polskiego w gimnazjum w świetle nowej podstawy programowej, obejmujące: wyniki zadań testowych sprawdzających wiedzę i umiejętności z zakresu świadomości językowej, wyniki obserwacji nieuczestniczących lekcji językowych, informacje uzyskane w wywiadach z nauczycielami i uczniami oraz w ankietach. Analiza danych pozwoliła stworzyć wieloaspektowy obra…
