A comparative analysis on Finnish and Korean high school English textbooks in the perspective of communicative language teaching

2016

English textbooks are a key resource for English courses in both Finnish and Korean high schools. The present study aims to compare the similarities and differences of Finnish and Korean high school English textbooks and analyze them from the perspective of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) on which English textbooks of both countries are theoretically based. Two English textbooks have been selected from each country for this research. One textbook is targeted for 10th grade and the other for 11th grade. The textbooks have been analyzed according to six dimensions: textbook structure, vocabulary, language forms, topics and cultural backgrounds, communicative functions, and activities fo…

Mikä kunnalle nimeksi? : etnologinen tutkimus kunnan nimen merkityksestä kuntalaisille Kouvolan kuntaliitoksen toteuttamisen aikana

2016

Tarkastelen pro gradu -tutkielmassani kunnan nimen merkitystä kunnan asukkaille. Tarkoituksenani on syventää ymmärrystä siitä, miksi kunnan nimi aiheuttaa paljon keskustelua kuntaliitoksen toteuttamisen aikana. Tutkielmaani varten keräsin Kouvolan seudun uuden kunnan nimeä käsitteleviä tekstiviestikommentteja Kouvolan Sanomien Napakat-mielipidepalstalta. Viestien analysoinnissa käytin lähilukua sekä tulkitsevaa diskurssianalyysia. Teoreettisena viitekehyksenä tutkielmassani toimivat kuntasamaistumisen ja psykologisen omistajuuden käsitteet. Aineistosta käy ilmi, että kunnan asukkaille merkityksellisessä kunnan nimessä yhdistyvät kuntalaisten kokemukset kunnasta sekä nimen paikannettavuus ni…

Imagen e iconografía en las exequias del príncipe Baltasar Carlos en Zaragoza en 1646.

2014

ABSTRACT: This article studies the ceremonial funeral rites for Prince Baltasar Carlos of Austria, son of Philip IV and the hope for the healing of a monarchy in crisis, in the exequies celebrated in the city of Zaragoza, where the young heir to the throne died shortly before his seventeenth birthday, in 1646. The monumental catafalque erected in the plaza of the market place (a fantastic ephemeral tumulus characterized by a splendid Baroque architecture full of symbols), demonstrates the magnificence with which the death of such a beloved prince was presented to the public, in the second third of the seventeenth century. KEYWORDS: Prince Baltasar Carlos of Austria, Spanish Golden Age, roya…

Haem Biosynthesis and Antioxidant Enzymes in Circulating Cells of Acute Intermittent Porphyria Patients

2016

The aims of the present study were to explore the expression pattern of haem biosynthesis enzymes in circulating cells of patients affected by two types of porphyria (acute intermittent, AIP, and variegate porphyria, VP), together with the antioxidant enzyme pattern in AIP in order to identify a possible situation of oxidative stress. Sixteen and twelve patients affected by AIP and VP, respectively, were analysed with the same numbers of healthy matched controls. Erythrocytes, neutrophils and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were purified from blood, and RNA and proteins were extracted for quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western-blot analysis, respectively. Porhobilinogen…

School-Age Children's Actual Motor Competence and Perceived Physical Competence: A 3-Yr Follow-up.

2022

Purpose This study examined school-aged children’s actual motor competence (MC) and perceived physical competence (PC) over three years along with the covariate effects of gender and body mass index (BMI). Methods Participants were 1 121 (girls 573, boys 548) children (Mage 11.26 ± .32) from 35 randomly selected public schools across Finland. MC was assessed using three movement tests targeting locomotor, stability, and object control skills, and PC was assessed using the sport competence subscale of the Physical Self-Perception Profile via four-phase monitoring. Results MC and PC remained stable over time. Of the three variables, locomotor skills showed the strongest association with PC. L…

Promoting safe walking among older people : the effects of a physical and cognitive training intervention vs. physical training alone on mobility and…

2018

Abstract Background Safe and stable walking is a complex process involving the interaction of neuromuscular, sensory and cognitive functions. As physical and cognitive functions deteriorate with ageing, training of both functions may have more beneficial effects on walking and falls prevention than either alone. This article describes the study design, recruitment strategies and interventions of the PASSWORD study investigating whether a combination of physical and cognitive training (PTCT) has greater effects on walking speed, dual-task cost in walking speed, fall incidence and executive functions compared to physical training (PT) alone among 70–85-year-old community-dwelling sedentary or…

Long-term strength and balance training in prevention of decline in muscle strength and mobility in older adults

2018

Background. Reductions in muscle strength and poor balance may lead to mobility limitations in older age. Aims. We assessed the effects of long-term once-weekly strength and balance training (SBT) on muscle strength and physical functioning in a community-based sample of older adults. Methods. 182 individuals [130 women and 52 men, mean age 80 (SD ± 3.9) years] underwent supervised SBT as part of the Geriatric Multidisciplinary Strategy for the Good Care of the Elderly study. Training was offered once a week for 2.3 years. Isometric knee extension and flexion strength, chair rise, maximal walking speed, timed up and go (TUG) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were measured at baseline, after 2-ye…
