Edukacyjne aspekty energetycznej globalizacji
2018
Wokół handlu energią i surowcami do jej produkcji skupiają się wszystkie klasyczne problemy związane z procesem globalizacji. Problemy ekologiczne wynikające z produkcji energii elektrycznej przekraczają granice polityczne, a realizacja celów pakietu klimatycznego oraz wdrażanie zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju napotyka na liczne bariery i jest szeroko kontestowane przez niektóre grupy społeczne. W związku z tym tworzy się przestrzeń do pogłębionych działań edukacyjnych i promocyjnych na ich rzecz. W prezentowanej pracy skupiono się na edukacyjnych aspektach związanych z tą problematyką oraz na wykorzystaniu w edukacji nieformalnej serwisów społecznościowych przy promowaniu zasad zrównoważonego…
Designing knowledge construction in pre-service teachers’ collaborative planning talk
2022
In this paper, we report on a qualitative study of student teachers’ collaboration in planning and implementing a course that integrated physics and the Finnish language. Audio-recorded planning sessions and interviews were examined using qualitative content analysis, first, to discover what kind of space for knowledge construction student teachers designed for learners and, second, to identify the characteristics of their collaboration in developing a new cross-disciplinary pedagogical practice. The analysis revealed challenges in integrating meaning-making resources for knowledge construction; especially the role of language remained mostly invisible. This indicates a need to develop teac…
Latency-Oblivious Distributed Task Scheduling for Mobile Edge Computing
2018
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is emerging as one of the effective platforms for offloading the resource- and latency-constrained computational services of modern mobile applications. For latency- and resource-constrained mobile devices, the important issues include: 1) minimize end-to-end service latency; 2) minimize service completion time; 3) high quality-of-service (QoS) requirement to offload the complex computational services. To address the above issues, a latencyoblivious distributed task scheduling scheme is designed in this work to maximize the QoS performance and goodput for the MEC services. Unlike most of the existing works, we consider the latency-oblivious property of different …
Making experts-by-experience : governmental ethnography of participatory initiatives in Finnish social welfare organisations
2018
This dissertation analyses expertise-by-experience in Finnish social welfare organisations as part of the participatory practices presented as new democracy. It employs a governmental ethnographic method to investigate how a person with difficult experiences is made into ‘an expert of one’s own life’ and how the subjectivity thus created is connected to different possibilities and rationales of participation. It asks: 1. What characterises the subjectivities created in the initiatives? 2. How (through which practices) are the participants constructed as experts? In this summary article the democratic quality of expert-making practices is interpreted through a critical democratic lens by inq…
Naruszenie bezpieczeństwa stosowania elektronicznych instrumentów płatniczych w świetle prawa karnego - zagadnienia wybrane
2018
Elektroniczne instrumenty płatnicze znajdują swój początek w powstaniu handlu elektronicznego. Jednak nieustanne poszerzanie sposobów dostępu do środków zgromadzonych na rachunku powoduje, iż zakres elektronicznych instrumentów płatniczych nieustannie się zmienia. Uniwersalność elektronicznych instrumentów płatniczych oraz szeroki zakres sposobów dostępu do środków pieniężnych wpływają na niespotykaną rozpiętość przestępstw – od blokowania kasetki do wydawania pieniędzy w bankomacie, a kończąc na zaawansowanych technologicznie przestępstwach internetowych. Zagrożenie stanowi także szybkość wymiany oraz dostępność informacji dotyczących sposobów popełniania przestępstw, wykorzystywanie luk t…
Combination vaccines containing DTPa–Hib: impact of IPV and coadministration of CRM197 conjugates
2008
Vaccination with diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTPa)-Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) combinations generally elicits anti-polyribosyl-ribitol-phosphate (PRP) antibody concentrations of more than 0.15 microg/ml, a criterion that is linked to the protection of infants against Hib disease. In the UK, vaccination with DTPa3-Hib elicited atypically low anti-PRP antibody levels and was associated with breakthrough Hib cases. While the absence of a toddler booster is considered to be a key factor explaining the lowered control of Hib disease, we propose that the coadministration of serogroup C Neisseria meningitidis conjugate vaccine (MenC)-CRM197, which coincided with the introductio…
A person-oriented approach to sport and school burnout in adolescent student-athletes: The role of individual and parental expectations
2017
Abstract Objectives The present study aimed to examine what kind of burnout profiles exist among student-athletes based on their sport and school burnout symptoms. Moreover, it was investigated whether athletes' expectations of success in sport and school, on the one hand, and parental expectations, on the other hand, were predictors of the likelihood of the athlete to show a certain profile, after taking into account the effects of gender, grade point average, type of sport, and level of competition. Design and methods The participants were 391 student-athletes (51% females) from six different upper secondary sport schools in Finland, and 448 parents (58% mothers). The athletes filled in q…
Burnout as an important factor in the psychophysiological responses to a work day in Teachers
2010
Burnout syndrome is an important psychosocial risk in the job context, especially in professions with a strong social interaction, as in the case of teaching. This study analyses the role of burnout in the psychophysiological responses to a work day in teachers. High burnout was related to worse mood, and higher perceived stress throughout the work day. Moreover, burnout is positively related to systolic blood pressure and negatively related to salivary cortisol levels at the beginning of the work day. Higher scores of burnout in teachers are also related to lower heart rate in the middle of the work day. The psychophysiological responses to a work day are specifically associated with the d…
