Kyyhky ja opetuskone : inhimillisen ja ei-inhimillisen yhteenliittymiä B. F. Skinnerin behaviorismissa
2015
Artikkelissa käsitellään Burrhus Skinnerin behavioristista oppimisteoriaa sekä sen opetusteknologisia sovelluksia uusmaterialistisen tieteenfilosofian ja tieteentutkimuksen valossa. Uusmaterialismin merkitys kasvatustieteen filosofialle sekä alan historialliselle itseymmärrykselle ilmenee toimijuuden problematisoinnissa. Analyysi osoittaa, miten oppimista koskevassa tieteellisessä tiedossa sekä eläimillä että teknologialla on keskeinen, joskin vain osittain tiedostettu toimijuus tiedonmuodostuksessa sekä käytännön sovelluksissa. peerReviewed
Long-term reliability of the Finnish behavioral and emotional rating scale
2015
In previous research, the Finnish version of the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale-2 has demonstrated adequate internal consistency, factor structure and convergent validity. The purpose of the present study was to examine the long-term test-retest reliability of the Finnish BERS-2. Youth, parent and teacher BERS-2 ratings were collected once a year for three years in order to assess the stability of scores. All of the correlations were significant and moderate to very large in magnitude. Study limitations, future research and implications were discussed.
Management diversity begets biodiversity in production forest landscapes
2022
How to manage forest for biodiversity conservation is an ongoing debate. We argue that maximizing biodiversity in managed forest landscapes requires a diversity of forest management regimes in space and time. This will generate high levels of habitat heterogeneity at a landscape scale, which in turn will support various groups of forest species. Based on concepts from landscape ecology, we formulate five hypotheses on how management diversity, i.e. combining various management approaches can benefit overall biodiversity across a production forest landscape. First, management diversity will increase habitat diversity and, therefore, beta diversity (the habitat diversity hypothesis). Second, …
Sociālās adaptācijas īpatnības, to labvēlīgas norises sekmēšana agrajā bērnībā
2018
Bakalaura darba autore ir Iveta Feldmane. Bakalaura darba temats ir “Sociālās adaptācijas īpatnības, to labvēlīgas norises sekmēšana agrajā bērnībā.” Darba mērķis: Teorētiski un praktiski izzināt adaptācijas labvēlīgas norises sekmēšanas iespējas pirmsskolas izglītības iestādē. Hipotēze: Bērna sociālā adaptācija noritēs sekmīgāk, ja pieaugušie •ievēros vienotas prasības adaptācijas procesu norisē, • izmantos vingrinājumus, rotaļas bērnu pieaugušo sadarbībā. Uzdevumi: 1.Izzināt dažādu autoru atziņas par socializācijas un adaptācijas procesu, tā izpausmēm. 2.Analizēt labvēlīgas adaptācijas norises iespējamos virzienus. 3.Veikt pedagoģisko izmēģinājumdarbību par adaptācijas korekcijas iespējām…
In-Operando Lithium-Ion Transport Tracking in an All-Solid-State Battery.
2022
An all-solid-state battery is a secondary battery that is charged and discharged by the transport of lithium ions between positive and negative electrodes. To fully realize the significant benefits of this battery technology, for example, higher energy densities, faster charging times, and safer operation, it is essential to understand how lithium ions are transported and distributed in the battery during operation. However, as the third lightest element, methods for quantitatively analyzing lithium during operation of an all-solid-state device are limited such that real-time tracking of lithium transport has not yet been demonstrated. Here, the authors report that the transport of lithium …
Bridging the gap between research and practice : using phenomenographic findings to develop training for career practitioners
2021
AbstractThis study contends that phenomenography offers both a useful research method and practical tools for developing education and training for career practitioners. After introducing the basic principles of phenomenography, the study reviews previous research on its potential in developing pedagogical practices. It explores how the phenomenographic findings were utilized to design an online skills training programme for career practitioners. The study finds that phenomenographic research serves three practical pedagogical purposes: (1) revealing how learners understand certain concepts or phenomena, (2) elucidating how these understandings differ; and (3) identifying critical aspects i…

Child-centered and teacher-directed practices in relation to calculation and word problem solving skills
2019
Abstract This study examined transactional associations between classroom-level math skills and teaching practices. Participants were 523 children from 31 classrooms. Math skills were assessed three times. Teaching practices were observed in Grades 1 and 3. Child-centered practices promoted subsequent calculation skills whereas teacher-directed practices were associated with a lower level of calculation skills. Higher problem-solving skills at Grade 2 predicted more child-centered practices and less teacher-directed practices in third grade. Moreover, calculation skills mediated the effect of child-centered practices on problem-solving skills. The results suggest that teaching practices and…
Role of Data Communications in Hybrid Cloud Costs
2011
Rapid adoption of cloud services in recent years has been driven by multiple factors, such as faster time-to-market and improved scalability enabled by public cloud infrastructure. Hybrid clouds, combining the in-house capacities with on-demand capacity of public clouds, achieve both the increased utilization rate of the in-house infrastructure and the limited use of more expensive public cloud, thereby lowering the total costs for the cloud user. In this paper, an analytical model of hybrid cloud costs is introduced, wherein the costs of computing and data communication are taken into account. Using this model, the costefficient division of the computing capacity between the private and th…
Compression-based classification of biological sequences and structures via the Universal Similarity Metric: experimental assessment.
2007
Abstract Background Similarity of sequences is a key mathematical notion for Classification and Phylogenetic studies in Biology. It is currently primarily handled using alignments. However, the alignment methods seem inadequate for post-genomic studies since they do not scale well with data set size and they seem to be confined only to genomic and proteomic sequences. Therefore, alignment-free similarity measures are actively pursued. Among those, USM (Universal Similarity Metric) has gained prominence. It is based on the deep theory of Kolmogorov Complexity and universality is its most novel striking feature. Since it can only be approximated via data compression, USM is a methodology rath…
