Parasite avoidance behaviours in aquatic environments
2018
Parasites, including macroparasites, protists, fungi, bacteria and viruses, can impose a heavy burden upon host animals. However, hosts are not without defences. One aspect of host defence, behavioural avoidance, has been studied in the terrestrial realm for over 50 years, but was first reported from the aquatic environment approximately 20 years ago. Evidence has mounted on the importance of parasite avoidance behaviours and it is increasingly apparent that there are core similarities in the function and benefit of this defence mechanism between terrestrial and aquatic systems. However, there are also stark differences driven by the unique biotic and abiotic characteristics of terrestrial …
Coronavirus-related health literacy and perceived restrictiveness of protective measures among community-dwelling older persons in Finland
2021
Abstract Background Older people with limited health literacy may encounter difficulties in finding relevant information on COVID-19, understanding its relevance, and complying with recommended protective measures. Complying with such recommendations has required older as well as younger persons to change their daily lives in ways that have reduced their opportunities for engaging in many activities meaningful to them. Aims To find out from what sources older people have obtained information on protective measures, the level of their coronavirus-related health literacy (CHL), and whether CHL is associated with their perceptions of the restrictiveness of coronavirus-related protective measur…

Surrogate Modelling for Oxygen Uptake Prediction Using LSTM Neural Network
2023
Oxygen uptake (V˙O2) is an important metric in any exercise test including walking and running. It can be measured using portable spirometers or metabolic analyzers. Those devices are, however, not suitable for constant use by consumers due to their costs, difficulty of operation and their intervening in the physical integrity of their users. Therefore, it is important to develop approaches for the indirect estimation of V˙O2-based measurements of motion parameters, heart rate data and application-specific measurements from consumer-grade sensors. Typically, these approaches are based on linear regression models or neural networks. This study investigates how motion data contribute to V˙O2 …
Multippeliskleroosia (MS) sairastavien fyysisessä toimintakyvyssä tapahtuneet muutokset kymmenen vuoden seurannassa
2012
Multippeliskleroosia (MS) sairastavien fyysisessä toimintakyvyssä tapahtuneet muutokset kymmenen vuoden seurannassa Tuulikki Alanko Jyväskylän yliopisto, Liikunta- ja terveystieteen tiedekunta, Terveystieteiden laitos, kevät 2012 sivumäärä 41, liitteitä 4 Ohjaajat: professori Arja Häkkinen Jyväskylän Yliopisto, TtT Jaana Paltamaa Jyväskylän ammattikorkeakoulu Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää Keski-Suomen sairaanhoitopiirin alueen MS-tautia sairastavilla kymmenen vuoden aikana tapahtuneita muutoksia toimintakyvyssä ja yhteiskunnallisten tukipalvelujen käytössä. Tutkimusjoukko saatiin vuoden 2000 MS-kohortista (n=211). Kyselytutkimuksen vastausprosentti oli 84 %. Tutkittavista naisia o…
The Effects of Combined Same Session Aerobic and Resistance Training on Physical Performance in Coronary Artery Disease Patients : Protocol Comparison
2021
Aerobic training is included to cardiac rehabilitation programs together with resistance training. The effects of combined aerobic and resistance training performed in a same session with different protocols on peak aerobic capacity (VO2peak) and maximal dynamic strength (1RM: one repetition maximum) are not well known. We compared the effectiveness of two different combined aerobic and resistance training programs for 12 weeks performed three times in a week in stable Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients (n=30) who had previously performed aerobic training only. The patients were randomized to High Volume- Low Intensity Group (HLG) or Low Volume-High Intensity Group (LHG). Both groups pe…
Talousinformaation käyttö tulosyksiköissä : case toimeksiantaja X
2017
Tässä pro gradu –tutkielmassa selvitetään suorituskyvyn mittauksen kautta saatavan talousinformaation käyttöä sekä siihen vaikuttavien tekijöiden syy-seuraussuhteita toimeksiantaja X:n tulosyksiköiden esimiesten näkökulmasta. Tutkielman teoreettinen viitekehys keskittyy tuomaan esille aikaisempien tutkimusten pohjalta tekijöitä, jotka vaikuttavat talousinformaation käyttöön tulosyksikkötasolla. Tämä tutkimus on toteutettu case-tutkimuksena, jossa on käytetty kvantitatiivisia sekä kvalitatiivisia tutkimusmetodeja luotettavan aineiston muodostamiseksi. Tutkimuksesta saatavien johtopäätöksien mukaan talousinformaation käyttö tulosyksiköissä on aktiivista ja se tukee tulosyksiköiden esimiesten …
Self-reported Reasons for Changes in Performance of Everyday Activities During a 2-Year Multidisciplinary Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation
2022
Background: Few multidisciplinary rehabilitation studies with a heterogeneous design have focused on people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This study compared subjective-reported changes in performance and satisfaction with daily activities among moderately and severely disabled people with MS during a 2-year, multidisciplinary, group-based, outpatient rehabilitation program comprising education in self-management and compensatory techniques, exercise, and guided peer support. Methods: Thirty-eight adults with moderate disability (Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS] score of 4.0–5.5, 74% women, mean age of 48 years) and 41 persons with severe disability (EDSS 6.0–8.5, 63% women, mean age…
