Katsaus 2000-luvun suomalaisiin etunimiin
2018
Kirja-arvostelu teoksesta Saarelma-Paukkala, Minna: Etunimikirja. Suomalaiset nimitrendit 2000-luvulla. SKS, 2017. 268 sivua. ISBN 978-952-222-831-4. Minna Saarelma-Paukkalan Etunimikirja jatkaa edeltäjiensä viitoittamalla tiellä. Se tarkastelee aiemmista vastaavista teoksista tuttuja teemoja 2010-luvulle päivitettyinä. Ajankohtaista etunimitutkimusta esittelevästä teoksesta jää puuttumaan historiantutkimuksen näkökulma aiempien vuosikymmenten nimistöön, samoin kuin viimeaikaisen pohjoismaisen tutkimuksen tuloksia. Omimmillaan tekijä on kuvatessaan nimipäiväkalenterin uudistamisen viimeisimpiä vaiheita, joissa hän on ollut itsekin aktiivisesti mukana, ja tästä uudistustyöstä olisi ollut kii…
Loneliness, subjective health complaints, and medicine use among Finnish adolescents 2006-2018.
2022
Aims: Loneliness is an important public health challenge for all ages. This study reports time trends of loneliness among adolescents over a 12-year period and analyses the strength of the associations between loneliness, health complaints, and medicine use.

The role of mothers' beliefs in students' self-concept of ability development
2018
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the child-related competence beliefs of mothers are associated with the development of Finnish adolescents' self-concept of mathematics and literacy ability during their transition from primary to lower secondary school and whether these associations depend on adolescents' level of performance. The results showed that, first, adolescents' self-concept of mathematics and literacy ability decreased over time. The impact of maternal beliefs on the linear trend of the self-concept of mathematics and literacy ability was dependent on the level of students' performance. Mothers' high beliefs buffered against the decrease in adolescents' self-concep…
Family related variables effect on later educational outcome: a further geospatial analysis on TIMSS 2015 Finland
2020
AbstractFamily-related factors, like parent’s educational level, their values and expectations have a significant impact on child’s early skills and later educational outcomes. Further, parents provide their child, alongside with other learning environments, a broad mathematical and early literacy input. This study investigates the relationship between family-related socio-economic and other factors like, parental education, amount of books at home, parental attitudes towards mathematics and science, parental perception of child’s early skills and student’s later academic achievement. This is studied in the light of the Finnish data collected for Trends in International Mathematics and Scie…
Riflessioni su pandemia e comunicazione politica: l’interesse online per leader e partiti
2021
Has the pandemic reversed trends already taking place in contemporary politics or has it reinforced ongoing political phenomena? The serious health risk posed by the spread of Covid-19 has in fact legitimised dynamics that more or less silently had long been spreading, including the personalisation of politics, the (alleged) disintermediation of communication, different populist styles, the danger of authoritarian drifts. The challenges to democracy identified by the political literature, as the pandemic spreads, are enriched by new elements. Trust in national institutions, which has been years marked by a negative trend, in countertendency has increased during the peak of the epidemic. new…

Positioning strategies of cultural institutions : a renewal of the offer in the face of shifting consumer habits
2008
One conclusion is widely shared by the practitioners in the cultural sector: consumer relations with cultural products and services have changed. This paper provides a trend marketing analysis of various areas (theatres and performing arts organizations, museums, cultural events, cultural industries, etc.) so as to better understand this “new” cultural consumer. Seven contemporary trends are examined. Each is defined and then illustrated by innovative offers from cultural organizations. Their appraisal by more than a hundred cultural-sector practitioners in France is presented.
Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19.1 million participants
2017
Background Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, and number of people with, raised blood pressure, defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. Methods For this analysis, we pooled national, subnational, or community population-based studies that had measured blood pressure in adults aged 18 years and older. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2015 in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of rai…
Rationaalisia vai adaptiivisia ennusteita? : yliopisto-opiskelijoiden ja pankin sijoitusasiantuntijoiden käsitykset riskeistä ja tuotoista
2014
Opinnäytetyössä tutkittiin kyselytutkimusten avulla Jyväskylän yliopiston kauppakorkeakoulun tarjoamille kursseille osallistuneiden opiskelijoiden ja Osuuspankin sijoitusasiantuntijoiden käsityksiä tulevista osaketuotoista ja -riskeistä. Kyselyssä vastaajia pyydettiin laatimaan seitsemän ja 13 kuukauden hintaennusteet sekä niille 80 %:n luottamusvälit näytettyjen kuuden osakekuvaajan perusteella. Osakekuvaajissa käytettyä indeksiä tai ajankohtia ei paljastettu vastaajille. Ennusteiden perusteella tutkittiin, oliko vastaajilla taipumusta ekstrapoloida mennyttä hintakehitystä, eli olivatko he trendin seuraajia, ja olivatko heidän ennustamansa subjektiiviset todennäköisyysjakaumat vinoja.
