Finnish upper secondary school EFL teachers' satisfaction with current textbooks
2015
Oppikirjojen merkitys suomalaisessa vieraiden kielten opetuksessa on kiistaton. Oppikirjojen sisältöä ja käyttöä onkin tutkittu lukuisien aihepiirien, kuten esimerkiksi erilaisten sisältöanalyysien kautta (ks. esim. Hietala 2013, Tergujeff 2013), mutta niiden, jotka todella käyttävät oppikirjaa työvälineenään, ääni ei aina ole tullut kuuluviin. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin suomalaisten lukion englannin opettajien tyytyväisyyttä nykyisin markkinoilla oleviin lukion englannin kielen oppikirjoihin usean ajankohtaisen näkökulman kautta. Nämä näkökulmat olivat oppikirjan valinta, vastaavuus opetussuunnitelman kanssa, kielitaidon eri osa-alueiden harjoittaminen, autenttisen materiaalin hyödyn…
Prevalence of the bullying phenomenon in a schools sample of Palermo, Sicily: a pre-post intervention observational study among teachers
2018
Background and aim of the work: Bullying involves a significant percentage of school-age children. According to the latest available surveillance data, in Sicily, the estimated prevalence among 11-15 years old children is 14%. This study aimed to estimate a prevalence of the bullying phenomenon, observed by teachers, in a sample of secondary schools of Palermo, Sicily.

School Detention in Finland : A Pilot Study
2017
Although detention is one of the most popular methods of punishment in schools, it is being met with increasing criticism as an educational intervention. Few studies have explored its use to date; therefore, the present pilot study was planned to survey the popularity of detention. By analyzing a representative sample of comprehensive school teachers (N = 2,276) in Finland at grade levels 1-9, it was found that 30% of Finnish school teachers regularly use this punishment. Differences in use were observed across gender, age, and teacher category. These results provide a baseline against which future follow-up studies can be compared. peerReviewed
Motivos de uso de las redes sociales virtuales: Análisis de perfiles de mujeres rurales
2015
En el presente trabajo, se muestran los resultados de una investigación cuyo objetivo es conocer los motivos de uso de las redes sociales virtuales de las mujeres rurales y determinar perfiles en función de sus respuestas. Para ello, se realiza un estudio de encuesta, cuyo cuestionario se aplica a 478 mujeres de entornos rurales de Andalucía de 18 a 65 años. Los resultados muestran dos perfiles de mujeres en función de sus motivaciones de uso de las redes, encontrando que las que usan las redes con una mayor variedad de motivos, muestran mayores niveles en intensidad, habilidad y autonomía de uso, mientras que las que la usan exclusivamente por motivos relacionales presentan niveles inferio…
S2-oppijan mielipidekirjoituksen sujuvuus maallikoiden ja S2-opettajien arvioimana
2014
Tutkielmamme aiheena on S2-oppijan mielipidekirjoituksen sujuvuus ja sen arviointi. Sujuvuus, kompleksisuus ja tarkkuus ovat keskeisiä ja laajasti käytettyjä käsitteitä toisen kielen arvioinnissa, mutta niiden määrittely ei ole ollut yksiselitteistä tai ongelmatonta. Toisen kielen oppimisen tutkimuksessa sujuvuus on usein liitetty puheen tuottamisen tai kirjoitusprosessin nopeuteen, mutta valmiin kirjoitetun tuotoksen sujuvuuden tutkimus on ollut vähäistä. Koska sujuvuutta kuitenkin käytetään kriteerinä myös kirjoitettujen tekstien arvioinnissa, haluamme selvittää, millaisiin kielellisiin piirteisiin sujuvuus kirjoitetun kielen arvioinnissa liitetään: onko sujuvaksi arvioitu teksti esimerki…
The role of age and digital competence on the use of online health and social care services: A cross-sectional population-based survey
2022
Objective Online health and social care services are getting widespread which increases the risk that less advantaged groups may not be able to access these services resulting in digital exclusion. We examined the combined effects of age and digital competence on the use of online health and social care services. Methods We used a large representative population-based sample of 4495 respondents from Finland. Paper-based self-assessment questionnaire with an online response option was mailed to participants. The associations were analyzed using survey weighted logistic regression, exploring potential non-linear effects of age and controlling for potential sex differences. Results Higher age,…
Survey of Research for Performance Measurement of Mobile Manipulators
2016
International audience; This survey provides the basis for developing research in the area of mobile manipulator performance measurement, an area that has relatively few research articles when compared to other mobile manipulator research areas. The survey provides a literature review of mobile manipulator research with examples of experimental applications. The survey also provides an extensive list of planning and control references as this has been the major research focus for mobile manipulators which factors into performance measurement of the system. The survey then reviews performance metrics considered for mobile robots, robot arms, and mobile manipulators and the systems that measu…
Il primo concorso per il Palazzo di Giustizia a Roma del 1884. Ricostruzione critica del progetto di Ernesto Basile
2019
1. Breve descrizione dell’oggetto di studio Il concorso del Palazzo di Giustizia di Roma si svolge in quattro fasi svolte tra il 1884 e il 1887. Il progetto per il primo concorso, del 1884, redatto dall’allora giovanissimo Ernesto Basile (Palermo 1857-1932), rivela una grande perizia progettuale che trasforma il complesso programma funzionale in un austero edificio in stile neofiorentino. I disegni originari dell’opera, non realizzata, conservati presso la Dotazione Basile del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università di Palermo, sono stati oggetto di studio propedeutico alle fasi di analisi, interpretazione e ricostruzione congetturale del modello digitale. 2.

Associations of Work-Family Conflict with Family-Specific, Work-Specific, and Well-Being-Related Variables in a Sample of Polish and Ukrainian Adults…
2022
The conflict between work and family demands increased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to changes in lifestyle related to the lockdown. This study examines the associations between work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) with work-specific, family-specific, and well-being-related variables during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results may be used in practice to improve the well-being of employees by adjusting home-based work and family areas of life to dynamic changes during the pandemic. The sample of 736 adults from Poland (53.26%) and Ukraine (46.74%), aged between 19 and 72 (M = 39.40; SD = 10.80), participated in the study. The cross-sectional study wa…
Bending Work Time: Curvilinear Relationship Between Working Time Dimensions and Psychological and Somatic Symptoms.
2020
Objectives Study examines the curvilinear associations of working time dimensions (working hours, time pressure, work schedules, and control of work time and pace) on psychological and somatic symptoms. Methods Representative Finnish Quality-of-Work-Life Surveys conducted in 2003, 2008 and 2013 were restricted to those (N=11,165) regularly working over 10h/week with more than one-year tenure in their job. Generalised additive models were utilised in analysis. Results Working hours had U-shaped relationships with psychosomatic symptoms, while time pressure had a threshold effect. Work pace control had linear effect. The effects of work time control and work schedules were insignificant. Ther…
