Solutions with sign information for nonlinear Robin problems with no growth restriction on reaction

2019

We consider a parametric nonlinear Robin problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator. The reaction is a Carathéodory function which is only locally defined (that is, the hypotheses concern only its behaviour near zero). The conditions on the reaction are minimal. Using variational tools together with truncation, perturbation and comparison techniques and critical groups, we show that for all small values of the parameter λ > 0, the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions, two of constant sign and the third nodal.

Lajianalyysi 400 m aitajuoksusta ja valmennuksen ohjelmointi

2015

Pitkä aitajuoksumatka 400 m aidat on laji, jossa juostaan yksi aidattu ratakierros yleisurheilukentän juoksuradalla. Lähtö tapahtuu lähtötelineistä. Alkusileä on 45 m pitkä, aitoja on yhteensä 10 kappaletta, aitavälien pituus on 35 m ja loppusileä on 40 m. Biomekaniikka. Hyvässä pikajuoksussa lantio on ylhäällä ja edessä. Jalka painetaan kehon alle päkiä edellä, ja askelkontakti on pyyhkäisevä kuopaisu. Pikajuoksun askel kontakti- ja lentovaiheineen voidaan jakaa neljään osaan: 1) etummaiseen lentovaiheeseen, 2) jarrutusvaiheeseen, 3) työntövaiheeseen ja 4) takimmaiseen lentovaiheeseen. Juoksunopeus on askelpituuden ja askeltiheyden tulo. 400 m aitajuoksussa askelkontakti kestää keskimäärin…

A four-session acceptance and commitment therapy based intervention for depressive symptoms delivered by masters degree level psychology students: a …

2013

Background:Depressive symptoms are one of the main reasons for seeking psychological help. Shorter interventions using briefly trained therapists could offer a solution to the ever-rising need for early and easily applicable psychological treatments.Aims:The current study examines the effectiveness of a four-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based treatment for self-reported depressive symptoms administered by Masters level psychology students.Method:This paper reports the effectiveness of a brief intervention compared to a waiting list control (WLC) group. Participants were randomized into two groups: ACT (n= 28) and waiting list (n= 29). Long-term effects were examined using…

Effectiveness of peer support on health-related quality of life in recently diagnosed breast cancer patients : a randomized controlled trial

2019

Purpose: Breast cancer is the most common cancer of Finnish women. Peer support could be a way to help breast cancer patients to deal with the disease but studies on its effectiveness have produced conflicting results. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to study the effectiveness of peer support on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of breast cancer patients. Methods: Patients with recently diagnosed breast cancer at the Helsinki University Hospital were randomly allocated to intervention (n = 130) or control (n = 130) groups. The intervention group patients received peer support via telephone one to five times according to their preference. The control group received usual…

#How Can We Help You?: An Instagram-Based Online Self-Help for Eating Disorders

2023

In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in online self-help treatments and peer-support programs for eating disorders. The possibility of easily accessing them anytime makes these programs an important support tool and an influencing source for increasing motivation to change. The aim of this work is to describe the #How can we help you? project, its initial feedback received from users, and its future directions. Researchers and clinicians developed an Instagram profile (Dicci Come Aiutarti) based on psychoeducation, aimed at orienting those suffering from a self-reported eating disorder towards clinical care, providing information about eating concerns and related constructs…

The role of languages at Finnish universities

2011

The promotion of multilingualism is one of the objectives of the European Union. However, in academic contexts, internationalisation and multilingual expertise are often understood as using English as a medium in teaching, research, tutoring and administrative communication. To explore the role of different languages at Finnish universities, an online survey was conducted in November – December 2009 among their staff, with 3605 respondents across disciplines and occupational groups. In this paper, we will present some of the results focussing on the following questions: How important are different languages considered in a university working environment? What are the language skills and use…

Wewnętrzne podziały i opozycja wewnątrzpartyjna w Socjaldemokratycznej Partii Niemiec w drugiej połowie XX wieku

2016

The Social Democratic Party of Germany was (and still is) a political party, in which the existence of different informal groups and clubs (performing the function of the Opposition inside the party) is admissible. After the end of the war and the return of the SPD to a legał activity, there followed - within it - a revival of not only old structures, but also that of old divisions into the leit wing and the right wing, which referred to the ideas of revisionism and questions of reforms capable of changing or maintaining the capitalist political system. With time, there formed two main wings among the democrats: the right wing - known as Kanalarbeiter, and later on Seeheimer Kreis, and the …

C1,α-regularity for variational problems in the Heisenberg group

2017

We study the regularity of minima of scalar variational integrals of $p$-growth, $1<p<\infty$, in the Heisenberg group and prove the H\"older continuity of horizontal gradient of minima.
