Safety Evaluation of Turbo-Roundabouts with and without Internal Traffic Separations Considering Autonomous Vehicles Operation
2021
The paper presents a microsimulation approach for assessing the safety performance of turbo-roundabouts where Cooperative Autonomous Vehicles “CAVs” have been introduced into the traffic mix alongside conventional vehicles “CVs”. Based on the analysis of vehicle trajectories from VISSIM and subsequent analysis of traffic conflicts through the Surrogate Safety Assessment Model (SSAM), the research aims to evaluate the safety benefits of turbo-roundabouts where the lanes are physically separated by raised curbs, compared to roundabouts without such curbs. The paper will then describe the methodological path followed to build VISSIM models of turbo-roundabouts with and without raised curbs in …
Työelämätaitojen kehittämisen mallit korkeakoulutuksessa
2012
Yliopistojen sisällä käydään keskustelua humboltilaisen sivistysyliopistoihanteen ja muuttuneiden yhteiskuntasuhteiden yhteensopivuudesta. Haastajiksi ovat nousseet työvoimakompetenssit. Artikkelin kirjoittajat erottavat tutkimissaan korkeakouluissa kolme työelämäntaitojen kehittämisen mallia, jotka he nimeävät spesialistimalliksi, integratiiviseksi malliksi ja verkostoituneen kulttuurin malliksi.
Throwaway knowledge, useful skills or a source for wellbeing? Outlining sustainability of workplace learning situations
2020
Rapid changes in working life have raised awareness of the need for lifelong learning among personnel, and there is increasing concern regarding the sustainability of such learning, especially in growth companies, where learning can be seen as a prerequisite for many work practices. Hence, the aim of this study is to understand the sustainability of learning situations from the perspectives of individual wellbeing, widespread use of previous knowledge and rapid application of new knowledge. We broaden the understanding of workplace learning from the perspective of sustainability by identifying different workplace learning situations and outlining the sustainability of these situations. Two …
Liikunnanopettajien kokemuksia ammatillisen koulutuksen tutkinnon perusteiden muutoksesta syksyllä 2015 : "selällään ollaan"
2016
Tahvanainen, P. 2016 Liikunnanopettajien kokemuksia ammatillisen koulutuksen tutkinnon pe-rusteiden muutoksesta syksyllä 2015: ”Selällään ollaan”. Liikuntakasvatuksen laitos, Jyväskylän yliopistosto, Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu – tutkielma, 45 s., 2 liitesivua. Toisen asteen ammatillisen koulutuksen uudet tutkinnon perusteet astuivat voimaan 1.8.2015. Muutoksen yhteydessä liikunnan ja terveystiedon tilalle tuli uusi oppiaine työkyvyn ylläpitämi-nen, liikunta ja terveystieto, ja opintoviikot muuttuivat osaamispisteiksi. Tutkimukseni tarkoitus oli selvittää, miten liikunnanopettajat ovat kokeneet tutkinnon perusteiden uudistuksen syksyn 2015 aikana eri koulutuksen järjestäjien oppilaitoksi…
”Haluan asua Suomessa” – ulkomaalaistaustaisten korkeasti kouluttautuneiden osallisuutta rakentavat tekijät työelämäjaksolla
2020
Ulkomaalaistaustaisten korkeasti kouluttautuneiden henkilöiden kotoutumisessa ja työllistymisessä Suomeen on monia etuja. Myös heidän osallisuutensa rakentuminen on tärkeää niin yksilöiden itsensä kuin yhteiskunnan kannalta. Tarkastelemme artikkelissamme, mitkä tekijät edistävät ja mitkä estävät suomea toisena kielenä puhuvien ulkomaalaistaustaisten korkeasti kouluttautuneiden henkilöiden osallisuuden rakentumista kotoutumiskoulutuksen työelämäjaksolla. Lähestymme tutkimusaihettamme laadullisen tutkimuksen avulla tarkastelemalla kolmen ulkomaalaistaustaisen korkeasti kouluttautuneen henkilön puhepäiväkirjoja ja työelämäjakson päätteeksi käytyjä palautekeskusteluja. Tutkimustulosten mukaan u…
Sustainable Working Life in a Swedish Twin Cohort : A Definition Paper with Sample Overview
2021
Background: A unified or consensus definition of “sustainable working life” remains lacking, although studies investigating risk factors for labour market exit are numerous. In this study, we aimed (1) to update the information and to explore a definition of “sustainable working life” via a systematic literature review and (2) to describe the working life trajectories via the prevalence of sickness absence (SA), disability pension (DP), and unemployment in a Swedish twin cohort to provide a sample overview in our Sustainable Working Life-project. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to explore the studies with the search phrase “sustainable working life” in PubMed, PsycInfo…
Developing Students Well-Being and Engagement in Higher Education during COVID-19—A Case Study of Web-Based Learning in Finland
2023
COVID-19 rapidly and extensively changed the normal everyday practices of societies, and there is no going back to the past. Universities also had to adapt and re-establish their normal routines, from policies to practices. In this article, we explore university students’ experiences of web-based learning, their well-being, and engagement during the pandemic. As a theoretical framework, we use the concept of the university student engagement inventory (USEI), which includes behavioral, cognitive, and emotional dimensions. The data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic from university students (N = 35) via an online survey and analyzed using a thematic content analysis. According to th…
Protective and Educational Effects of Physical Activity Practice on Mental Health in Young Age during COVID-19 Lockdown
2022
Background: The restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have modified the lifestyle of young people, worsening their mental health. Although some countries were allowed to practice outdoor physical activity (PA) in cases of lockdown, the PA level in the general population decreased. The current study aims to assess the differences in fear of COVID-19, anxiety, neuroticism, and general self-efficacy between university students who practiced PA during the second wave of lockdown and those who did not practice any PA. Methods: The sample consisted of 276 university students (176 females, 63.8%; mean age: 22.13, SD: ±3.94) who answered an online questionnaire detecting life habits …
Towards the ‘rurban’ scenario: plural forms of planning in Europe for a new alliance between city and countryside - Verso lo scenario ‘rurban’: forme…
2015
Nell’ultimo decennio si è manifestata una crescente attenzione alle relazioni di interdipendenza tra di- mensione urbana e dimensione rurale dello sviluppo territoriale. È un interesse alimentato dalla diversa percezione con cui ormai viene colto il rapporto tra città e campagna, tra economie urbane ed economie rurali, considerate dal pensiero economico-politico classico come due mondi separati. Questo processo è particolarmente visibile nel con- testo europeo, dove per ragioni non solo insediative e funzionali, ma anche economiche, sociali e culturali l’avvento di modelli di sviluppo post-industriali ha portato a più complesse forme di ibridazione tra modelli di sviluppo urbani e rurali. L…
IEA EBC Annex83 Positive Energy Districts
2021
At a global level, the need for energy efficiency and an increased share of renewable energy sources is evident, as is the crucial role of cities due to the rapid urbanization rate. As a consequence of this, the research work related to Positive Energy Districts (PED) has accelerated in recent years. A common shared definition, as well as technological approaches or methodological issues related to PEDs are still unclear in this development and a global scientific discussion is needed. The International Energy Agency’s Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme (IEA EBC) Annex 83 is the main platform for this international scientific debate and research. This paper describes the challeng…
