Essays concerning Hume's natural philosophy

2016

The subject of this essay-based dissertation is Hume’s natural philosophy. The dissertation consists of four separate essays and an introduction. These essays do not only treat Hume’s views on the topic of natural philosophy, but his views are placed into a broader context of history of philosophy and science, physics in particular. The introductory section outlines the historical context, shows how the individual essays are connected, expounds what kind of research methodology has been used, and encapsulates the research contributions of the essays. The first essay treats Newton’s experimentalist methodology in gravity research and its relation to Hume’s causal philosophy. It is argued tha…

Grafiikkasuorittimien kehityksen suuret linjat

2016

Näytönohjaimien ja niitä vauhdittavien grafiikkasuorittimien kehitys on viime vuosina ollut huomattavaa. Tässä opinnäytetyössä perehdytään suorittimien yleiseen kehityskulkuun sekä laitteiston kehitykseen alkeellisista 3D-laitteista moderneihin grafiikkasuorittimiin. Samalla etsitään tätä teknologiseen edistykseen merkittävästi myötävaikuttaneita uudistuksia. Päälähteenä toimivat alalta jo tehdyt historiakatsaukset, joita tukevat tutkimusmateriaali sekä valmistajien tekniset julkaisut. Lopputuloksena aineiston perusteella on kehityslinjan kannalta merkittäviksi tekijöiksi nostettavissa grafiikkasuorittimien oma prosessori, shaderit, ohjelmoitavuus sekä lopulta rinnakkaislaskenta. The develo…

Time estimation in Alzheimer and the role of the central executive

2004

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of short-term memory and attention in time estimation. For this purpose we studied prospective time verbal estimation in 21 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and compared their performance with that of 21 matched normal controls in two different conditions: during a digit span task and during an attentional task. Results showed that the performance of AD patients was significantly worse than that of the controls; the interaction between group and condition was significant. We suggest a role of attentional-executive functions in prospective time estimation.

How Does the Type of Migration Influence the Social Functioning of Polish Migrants in the Culture of the Host Country?

2014

The aim of the project was to research the social functioning of labour migrants in the culture of the host country. We were interested in showing the relationship between the time-frame of migration and the dimensions of socio-cultural adaptation. The study was conducted on a N=105 sample of Poles working abroad. A link to an online questionnaire was sent to those who had worked abroad during the study. The subjects were Poles who migrated to various countries in Western Europe. The research was of a quantitative-qualitative nature. The tools used in the study included a measure of Job Satisfaction, a Core Self Evaluation Score, and a questionnaire assessing work abroad. The qualitative pa…

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…
