An Exploratory Analysis of Factors Associated with Health-Related Physical Fitness in Adolescents. The ASSO Project
2018
Monitoring physical fitness (fitness) and identifying, since the beginning, possible determinants in youth could be useful to preserve health and avoid morbidities in adulthood. The main objective of this study is to provide details on the fitness levels of a sample of adolescents living in the Southern area of Italy and describe its associations with biological/genetic, socio-cultural/environmental, and lifestyle (physical activity/sedentariness, alcohol/smoking, meal patterns/habits) factors. The study was conducted within the Adolescence Surveillance System for Obesity Prevention (ASSO) project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Health and examining adolescents&rsquo
On the distribution of lightning current among interconnected grounding systems in medium voltage grids
2018
This paper presents the results of a first investigation on the effects of lightning stroke on medium voltage installations' grounding systems, interconnected with the metal shields of the Medium Voltage (MV) distribution grid cables or with bare buried copper ropes. The study enables us to evaluate the distribution of the lightning current among interconnected ground electrodes in order to estimate if the interconnection, usually created to reduce ground potential rise during a single-line-to-ground fault, can give place to dangerous situations far from the installation hit by the lightning stroke. Four different case studies of direct lightning stroke are presented and discussed: (1) two …
A systematic literature review of the transition to the circular economy in business organizations: Obstacles, catalysts and ambivalences
2021
There is a need for a transition from unsustainable linear business models to a more sustainable circular approach, called the circular economy. To promote this need, a deeper understanding of which issues hinder organizations’ transition to the circular economy and which ones catalyse it is needed. A systematic literature review was performed on the business implementation of the circular economy and 69 articles covering the topic were found. The review identifies different types of catalyst, obstacles and ambivalent factors influencing circular economy implementation in business. This study contributes to research on circular economy implementation at business organizations by providing u…
Exploring the impact of sustainable value proposition on firm performance
2022
Considering the immense potential of sustainable business models in tackling the broader challenge of corporate sustainability, this paper integrates the literature streams on sustainability practices and organizational business models to analyze the performance implications of a firm's sustainable value proposition. Based on the analysis of a large panel dataset across different industries, consistent with the proposed theory, a sustainable value proposition has been found to have a positive impact on a firm's market-based financial performance (namely, Tobin's Q). Yet, this impact turns out to be highly context-dependent. In particular, the findings reveal that a firm's R&D capabilities i…

3–10-vuotiaiden lasten motoriset perustaidot
2016
Motoriset perustaidot ja niiden kehittyminen luovat perustan lapsen liikkumiselle ja kokonaisvaltaiselle fyysiselle aktiivisuudelle. Perustaidot tulisi oppia hallitsemaan ennen kouluikää. Lapsuuden aikaiset hyvät motoriset taidot ennustavat runsaampaa fyysistä aktiivisuutta myös myöhemmin nuoruusvuosina. Motorisilla taidoilla on lisäksi yhteyksiä lapsen kognitiivisiin taitoihin, terveystekijöihin sekä psykologista hyvinvointia kuvaaviin muuttujiin. Toistaiseksi Suomesta puuttuvat lasten motorisia taitoja mittaavat laajat kartoitukset, jonka vuoksi tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata, minkä- laiset ovat 3–10-vuotiaiden tyttöjen ja poikien motoriset perustaidot vuonna 2015. Tutkimuksee…
Early Steps -liikuntaohjelman yhteydet 4-5-vuotiaiden päiväkotilasten motoristen perustaitojen kehitykseen
2008
Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are necessary skills for children to cope with their daily lives and to acquire a physically active lifestyle. Researchers have recommended that preschool-age children participate in a developmentally appropriate practice of balance, locomotor and manipulative skills for the promotion of their FMS.The purpose of this study was to examine the following questions: 1) Does an international Early Steps preschool physical education curriculum (PEC) (Zachopoulou et al. 2007) which lasts eight months have any effects on the FMS development of 4-5-year-old girls and boys in the time of one year? 2) How do the FMS of the 4-5-year-old girls and boys develop in one year?…

Toimintatutkimus 4-12-vuotiaiden motorisia taitoja harjaannuttavan oppaan kehittämisestä perheliikuntaan
2010
TIIVISTELMÄ Tuomi, Johanna 2010. Toimintatutkimus 4-12-vuotiaiden motorisia taitoja harjaannutta-van oppaan kehittämisestä perheliikuntaan. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu-tutkielma 134 s. 11 liites. Toimintatutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli suunnitella ja toteuttaa 4-12-vuotiaiden lasten vanhemmille ilmaiseksi jaettava neuvontamateriaali, joka sisältäisi tietoa lasten liikunnan tärkeydestä, perheen merkityksestä siihen sekä käytännön harjoitteita, jotka kehittäisivät lasten havaintomotorisia ja motorisia perustaitoja. Tutkimustehtävänä oli ensin selvittää, millaisia tarpeita ja odotuksia terveydenhoitohenkilöstö ja vanhemmat asettavat oppaalle sekä millaisesta perheliikunn…
