Inspiratory Muscle Strength and Cardiorespiratory Fitness Association With Health-Related Quality of Life in Healthy Older Adults
2021
The main purpose of this study was to explore similarities and differences in the association between two capabilities affecting the cardiorespiratory system (overall and multifactorial cardiorespiratory fitness and inspiratory muscle strength) and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), in a group of active healthy seniors. Sixty-five individuals (age, 73.01 ± 5.27 years; 53 women) who participated regularly in a multicomponent training program completed the EuroQol 5D-5L questionnaire, the 6-min walking test (6MWT), and the maximum inspiratory pressure test (MIP). Non-parametric correlations (Spearman's rho) were conducted to analyze the association between HRQoL indices (EQindex and …
Longitudinal Patterns of Ethical Organisational Culture as a Context for Leaders’ Well-Being: Cumulative Effects Over 6 Years
2021
AbstractThe aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate the temporal dynamics of ethical organisational culture and how it associates with well-being at work when potential changes in ethical culture are measured over an extended period of 6 years. We used a person-centred study design, which allowed us to detect both typical and atypical patterns of ethical culture stability as well as change among a sample of leaders. Based on latent profile analysis and hierarchical linear modelling we found longitudinal, concurrent relations and cumulative gain and loss cycles between different ethical culture patterns and leaders’ well-being. Leaders in the strongest ethical culture pattern exper…
La organización del trabajo por proyectos: La fábrica de la precariedad laboral
2019
The project-based organization, considered as a radical reorganization of work around one or more simultaneous projects, is nowadays widespread in large companies and public administrations. According to the managerial way of thinking, this system would be virtuous: by giving more autonomy to the employees in the act of production and by developing their skills through mobility and interdisciplinarity of work teams, it would be able to arouse their full commitment. This study confirms in some way how this opinion has been imposed, but at the expense of precarious working conditions, increasing the dedication of employees and silencing any form of criticism. The research is based on a review…
Humora loma reklāmā
2017
Valodai ir būtiska loma mūsdienās, jo to izmanto dažādiem mērķiem. Lai gan lielākā pētījumu daļa ir saistīta ar valodas lietojumu profesionālos rakstos un runās, šis darbs pievērsa uzmanību valodas lietojumam reklāmas diskursā. Tā kā reklāmas jēdziens visbiežāk ir pētīts mārketinga jomā, šī darba mērķis bija uzzināt, kāda ir humora loma drukātā reklāmā. Darbs fokusējās uz modificēto iespraudumiem izmantošanu smieklīgās reklāmās, jo šis instruments ietver netiešo nozīmi. Par pētniecības metodēm tika izmantoti gadījuma analīzes pētījums ar kvantitatīvās analīzes elementiem, kā arī modificēto iespraudumu diskursa analīze. Par šī darba korpusu tika izvēlētas 272 smieklīgas reklāmas. Pētījuma la…

Korkeakoulutuksen eriytyvät työelämätulokset
2018
Tässä väitöskirjassa tarkastellaan korkeakoulutettujen tutkinnollaan saavuttamien työelämätulosten eriytymistä ja eriytymisen yhteyttä koulutusalaan sekä muihin tutkinnon suorittaneiden taustaan liittyviin tekijöihin. Näitä tekijöitä ovat sukupuoli, pohjakoulutus ja ikä. Lisäksi eriytymistä tarkastellaan työantajasektorin (julkinen/yksityinen) mukaan, joka on olennaisesti yhteydessä sekä koulutusalaan että sukupuoleen. Tutkimuksen teoreettisessa kehyksessä korkeakoulututkinto ymmärretään resurssina, joka valmistuneella on hyödynnettävissä työelämään sijoittumisessa, mutta jonka hyödynnettävyys eriytyy henkilöiden muiden ominaisuuksien mukaan. Resurssinäkökulma perustuu signaaliteoriaan, jon…
Mehrsprachigkeit und Rolle des Deutschen im Studium aus der Sicht finnischer Studierender
2010
Die Bedeutung anderer Fremdsprachen als Englisch ist in Finnland in den letzten Jahrzenten kontinuierlich gesunken. Als besonders drastisch ist der Rückgang von Deutschlernern an finnischen Schulen einzuschätzen. Die vorliegende Studie ist Teil des Projekts Deutsch als Verkehrssprache in Finnland, das auf die Untersuchung der Rolle des Deutschen in akademischen und wirtschaftlichen Kontexten in Finnland abzielt. Um die Meinungen von Studierenden an finnischen Universitäten zu Mehrsprachigkeit und Rolle des Deutschen zu untersuchen, wurde 2008 eine Online-Umfrage unter 20400 Studierenden der Universitäten Jyväskylä und Tampere sowie der Technischen Universität Tampere durchgeführt. Der Rückl…
Factors behind Leisure-Time Physical Activity Behavior Based on Finnish Twin Studies: The Role of Genetic and Environmental Influences and the Role o…
2014
Different approaches are being taken to clarify the role of various factors in the development of physical activity behaviors. Genetic studies are a new area of physical activity research and also the motives for physical activity have been widely studied. The purpose of this paper is to review the findings emerging from the longitudinal genetic studies on leisure-time physical activity and to evaluate the associations between motivational factors and leisure-time physical activity. The focus is to review recent findings of longitudinal Finnish twin studies. The results of the latest longitudinal Finnish twin studies point to the existence of age-specific genetic and environmental influence…
Developmental dynamics between young adults’ life satisfaction and engagement with studies and work
2017
The present five-wave longitudinal study investigated the cross-lagged associations between young adults’ life satisfaction and study/work engagement over the transition from post-comprehensive studies to higher education or work during the second and third decades of life. Gender, educational track, academic performance and family socioeconomic status were also examined. The study is part of the longitudinal Finnish Educational Transitions (FinEdu) study, and used data from secondary education onwards, following 821 participants from age 17 to 25. The developmental dynamics showed that, in particular, young adults’ life satisfaction predicted their study/work engagement both during their p…
