On Temporal Aspects in Cross-Cultural e-Collaboration Between Finland and Japan Research Teams

2018

Time is an essential dimension in cross-cultural e-collaboration among research project teams. Understanding temporal aspects and project dynamics in cross-cultural research e-collaboration and related processes can improve team members' skills in cross-cultural communication and increase their cultural competence. The present case cultures are Finnish and Japanese, and the case universities are the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) and Keio University (Japan). Three issues are addressed in this article. First, cultural dimensions and time models in the cross-cultural e-collaboration context are discussed. Second, temporal aspects related to e-collaboration activities are introduced. Third,…

University Students’ Approaches to Making the Most of Their Study Time

2022

This article explores university students’ approaches to and positions with regard to making the most of their study time. The article discusses how various normative societal expectations around students’ use and management of time feature in their talk about how they organise their everyday lives. The research is based on thematic interviews (n = 28) that focused in detail on students’ day-to-day activities that were generated with students from two sets of generalist study fields in three regional Finnish universities. The results of a discursive analysis of students’ positionings reveal three discursive positions that represent of a variety in students’ approaches to make sense of the t…

Zarządzanie czasem jako próba opanowania chaosu

2016

Niniejszy rozdział stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy chaos obecny w różnych obszarach ludzkiego funkcjonowania dotyczy również czasu. Ponadto, czy można w jakikolwiek sposób zapanować nad tym chaosem i czy taka umiejętność pozostaje w jakimkolwiek związku z uzyskiwanymi efektami pracy własnej. Aby zrealizować ten cel, zostało przeprowadzone badanie ankietowe, które pozwoliło ustalić, że postrzeganie czasu jako chaotycznego pozostaje w związku ze sposobem gospodarowania czasem. Pozwala to wysunąć wniosek, że zarządzanie czasem ułatwia opanowanie chaosu.

Multi-domain Features of the Non-phase-locked Component of Interest Extracted from ERP Data by Tensor Decomposition

2020

The waveform in the time domain, spectrum in the frequency domain, and topography in the space domain of component(s) of interest are the fundamental indices in neuroscience research. Despite the application of time–frequency analysis (TFA) to extract the temporal and spectral characteristics of non-phase-locked component (NPLC) of interest simultaneously, the statistical results are not always expectedly satisfying, in that the spatial information is not considered. Complex Morlet wavelet transform is widely applied to TFA of event-related-potential (ERP) data, and mother wavelet (which should be firstly defined by center frequency and bandwidth (CFBW) before using the method to TFA of ERP…

Intonaci e decorazioni in terra cruda espressione di un'arte ancestrale che si rinnova nel tempo

2014

In molte aree del nostro pianeta, nel passato come oggi, la terra viene utilizzata come unico materiale nella costruzione di tutti gli elementi architettonici e strutturali di un’abitazione. Il genio creativo dei costruttori, ispirati dalla natura stessa della materia prima, si esprime nella modellazione e decorazione di forme morbide e avvolgenti che armonizzano lo spazio trasformando il manufatto in un’opera d’arte unica e irripetibile. Numerose sono le tecniche sperimentate in tutto il mondo per la realizzazione di intonaci in terra cruda sufficientemente resistenti e durevoli nel tempo; così come altrettanto numerose sono le pratiche di preparazione e stesura delle decorazioni, spesso e…

Health Education Teachers’ Assessment Conceptions and Practices : Identifying Assessment Profiles

2022

The study explored the latent construct underlying the assessment conceptions and practices of Finnish Health Education teachers (n = 165) in the context of curricula, seeking thereby to identify the teachers’ assessment profiles. Six underlying factors were found to encompass their assessment conceptions and practices, namely Assessment supporting learning, Assessment of working, Self and peer assessment as part of grading, Common assessment criteria, Questionable assessment practices, and Norm-referenced assessment. Via cluster analysis, three distinct assessment profiles were identified, labeled as Problematic assessors, Learning supportive assessors, and Norm-based assessors. These find…

Longitudinal and cross-sectional associations of adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines with cardiometabolic risk

2022

This study aimed to examine 1) adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines over a 2-year follow-up in children aged 6-8 years and 2) association of this adherence with cardiometabolic risk factors. Physical activity and sleep were assessed by a monitor combining heart rate and accelerometry measurements. Screen time was reported by the parents. Body fat percentage, waist circumference, blood glucose, serum insulin, plasma lipids and blood pressure were assessed, and a cardiometabolic risk score was calculated using z-scores. Children were classified as meeting the guidelines if they had on average ≥60min/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during the valid days; ≤120min/day of screen…
