Abiturienters inlärningsstrategier i svensk grammatik och deras uppfattningar om inlärningsstrategier

2012

Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, millaisia oppimisstrategioita abiturientit käyttävät, kun he opiskelevat ruotsin kielen kielioppia. Tarkoituksena on myös tarkastella, miten poikien ja tyttöjen strategioiden käyttö eroaa toisistaan. Lisäksi tutkielmassa selvitetään, ovatko abiturientit aikaisemmin kuulleet ja käyttäneet tietoisesti hyödykseen oppimisstrategioita ja olisiko heidän mielestään niistä puhuminen koulussa hyödyllistä. Tutkimusmetodina käytettiin kyselytutkimusta, joka koostui 29:stä Likert-asteikon väittämästä ja kolmesta avoimesta kysymyksestä. Likert-asteikon väittämät analysoitiin kvantitatiivisin menetelmin ja avoimet kysymykset kvalitatiivisin sisällönanalyysin keinoin…

Hur lär sig gymnasister svenska med hjälp av smarta apparater vid ett gymnasium i mellersta Finland

2016

Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää älylaitteiden eli älypuhelimen, tabletin ja kannettavan tietokoneen käyttöä lukiolaisten ruotsin kielen oppimisessa, erityisesti sanaston oppimisessa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli kartoittaa millaisissa tilanteissa älylaitteita hyödynnetään ruotsin kielen opiskelussa lukiossa. Lisäksi haluttiin selvittää käyttävätkö lukiolaiset yhä kirjamuotoisia sanakirjoja ja miten lukiolaiset etsivät tietoa tai ottavat selvää sanojen merkityksistä. Tutkimukseen osallistui 26 lukion ensimmäisen vuosikurssin opiskelijaa. Tutkimus toteutettiin kevättalvella 2016 kyselylomakkeen avulla. Kyselylomake koostui sekä monivalintaväittämistä että avoimista kysymyksistä. Tutkimu…

Prognostic value of HSP27 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective analysis of 57 tumours.

2006

Background: The aims of the present study were to assess the prevalence of HSP27 expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to verify whether HSP27 can be considered to be a marker of prognosis in patients with OSCC. Materials and Methods: The immunohistochemical expression of HSP27 was evaluated in 57 OSCC, who received standard treatment and monitoring. After grouping for HSP27 expression, OSCCs were statistically analysed for the variables age, gender, histological grading, TNM, staging and survival rate. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results: HSP27 was found to be reduced in 31 OSCC and was normally expressed in 26 OSCC. The pattern and intensity of HSP…

TP53 mutations and S-phase fraction but not DNA-ploidy are independent prognostic indicators in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma

2005

To prospectively evaluate the prognostic significance of TP53, H-, K-, and N-Ras mutations, DNA-ploidy and S-phase fraction (SPF) in patients affected by locally advanced laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Eight-one patients (median follow-up was 71 months) who underwent resective surgery for primary operable locally advanced LSCC were analyzed. Tumor DNA was screened for mutational analysis by PCR/SSCP and sequencing. DNA-ploidy and SPF were performed by flow cytometric analyses. Thirty-six patients (44%) had, at least, a mutation in the TP53 gene. Of them, 22% (8/36) had double mutations and 3% (1/36) had triple mutations. In total, 46 TP53 mutations were observed. The majority (41…

Fish introductions and light modulate food web fluxes in tropical streams : a whole-ecosystem experimental approach

2016

Decades of ecological study have demonstrated the importance of top-down and bottom-up controls on food webs, yet few studies within this context have quantified the magnitude of energy and material fluxes at the whole-ecosystem scale. We examined top-down and bottom-up effects on food web fluxes using a field experiment that manipulated the presence of a consumer, the Trinidadian guppy Poecilia reticulata, and the production of basal resources by thinning the riparian forest canopy to increase incident light. To gauge the effects of these reach-scale manipulations on food web fluxes, we used a nitrogen (15N) stable isotope tracer to compare basal resource treatments (thinned canopy vs. con…

First measurements of field metabolic rate in wild juvenile fishes show strong thermal sensitivity but variations between sympatric ecotypes

2021

The relationship between physiology and temperature has a large influence on population-level responses to climate change. In natural settings, direct thermal effects on metabolism may be exaggerated or offset by behavioural responses influencing individual energy balance. Drawing on a newly developed proxy, we provide the first estimates of the thermal performance curve of field metabolism in a wild fish. We investigate the thermal sensitivity of field metabolic rate in two sympatric, genetically distinct ecotypes of Atlantic cod from the Skagerrak coast of southern Norway. The combined ecotype median of field metabolic rate increased with increasing temperature until around 16°C, coincide…

Diaspora Start-Up Programs and Creative Industries: Evidence from Romania

2021

Romania is one of the main countries of origin for intra-European migration. The national authorities recently implemented the first major program —Diaspora Start-up—to support the business initiatives of Romanian citizens who live abroad and who are interested in opening a business in their home country. This scheme was developed in parallel with a broader program—Romania Start-up Plus—which was designed to support the entrepreneurial initiatives of individuals residing inside the country. These programs have already supported over 8,600 non-agricultural start-ups created in urban areas. This study conducted a comparative analysis of the two programs based on different criteria and explore…

Optical quality of hyperopic and myopic phakic intraocular lenses

2013

Aims: To assess and compare the optical quality of the myopic and hyperopic implantable collamer lens (ICL) from its wavefront aberrations for different powers and pupil diameters. Settings and Design: Prospective study. Material and Methods: The wavefront aberrations of two myopic (−3 and −6 diopters (D)) and two hyperopic V4b ICLs (+3 and +6D) were measured in vitro . To assess and compare the optical quality of different powers of ICLs, we analyzed the root mean square (RMS) of total higher order aberrations (HOAs), trefoil, coma, tetrafoil, secondary astigmatism, and spherical aberration at 3- and 4.5-mm pupil. In addition, the point spread functions (PSFs) of each ICL evaluated were ca…
