Removal of total organic carbon from peat solution by hybrid method : electrocoagulation combined with adsorption
2018
Humic substances end up in water from the drainage basin causing eutrophication and the spread of algae. These natural organic substances have an influence on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the water system. Adsorption and electrocoagulation (EC) are commonly used purification methods in the water and wastewater treatment. Both methods are used by themselves for removing a wide range of impurities. In this research, the novelty was to study the effect of combined activated carbon (AC) adsorption and electrocoagulation method on the removal of organic substances as total organic carbon (TOC) from the peat solution. With the hybrid method, TOC content was efficiently remo…
Kehonkoostumuksen yhteys pitkäikäisyyteen
2018
Rasvamassa, lihasmassa ja niiden suhde elimistössä kuvaavat henkilön terveydentilaa ja elämäntapoja, kuten fyysistä aktiivisuutta. Ylipainon ja alipainon tiedetään lisäävän kuolemanriskiä, mutta kehonkoostumuksen yhteydestä pitkäikäisyyteen on vähemmän tietoa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää kehonkoostumuksen yhteyttä pitkäikäisyyteen. Tämä tutkimus on osa Ikivihreät-tutkimusta, joka alkoi vuonna 1989, kun tutkittavat henkilöt olivat 75-vuotiaita (N=388). Tällöin kehonkoostumusta arvioitiin biosähköisellä impedanssilla. Biosähköisellä impedanssilla mitattiin tutkittavien rasvattoman massan määrä ja rasvaprosentti. Lisäksi tutkittavilta mitattiin pituus, paino, painoindeksi, vy…

Assessing Chinese Textile and Apparel Industry Business Sustainability: The Role of Organization Green Culture, Green Dynamic Capabilities, and Green…
2023
The current study aims to evaluate the role of environmental orientation (EO) on green dynamic capabilities (GDCs), organization green culture (OGC), and green innovation (GIN) toward business sustainability (BUS) in the context of Chinese textile and apparel manufacturing firms. Natural resources-based view (NRBV) and dynamic capabilities view (DCV) were used as the theoretical lenses of the research. This study is quantitative, and a purposive sampling technique was employed to collect data from the managers working in textile and apparel manufacturing firms in China. The sample size consisted of 339 managers. Partial least-square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to ana…
Neighbourhood Open Spaces : Co-production and Spatial Transformation in Addis Ababa
2021
The open spaces of a city are its lungs. They are places for people to exercise and carry out social activities, they influence the water cycle, and have considerable impact on air quality. In the developed world, companies are attracted to locations that offer well-designed, well-managed public spaces and these in turn attract customers, employees, and services (Byrne and Sipe 2010) . The presence of green parks, squares, gardens, and other public spaces in urban areas have therefore become vital marketing tools. Well-planned areas with green open spaces offer benefits to the local economy in terms of raising real-estate prices (ibid. ) . Open spaces facilitate social communication, relaxa…
Vihreää hoivaa : lasten yhteisöllinen ryhmätoiminta avohuollon tukitoimena
2015
Pro gradu –tutkielmani on etnografinen tutkimus Pelastakaa lapset ry:n Läheltä tueksi – hankkeessa kehitetystä Lasten yhteisöllisestä ryhmätoiminnasta. Toimintamallilla pyritään vastaamaan tukiperhejonossa olevien perheiden tuen tarpeisiin. Toiminnan taustalla vaikuttaa ajatus luonnon hyvinvointivaikutuksista ja ryhmätoimintapaikat sijaitsevat luonnonlä- heisissä paikoissa. Tutkimuksen teoreettiseksi lähtökohdaksi asettuu vihreä hoiva, joka on sateenvarjokäsite luontolähtöisille palveluille. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää fenomenologisen tutkimusorientaation kautta vanhempien ja lasten kokemuksia toiminnasta ja sen merkityksistä sekä siitä, miten vihreä hoiva näkyy osana toimintaa. …
Dynamics, evolutionary and epidemiological patterns of RNA viruses
2017
Viral infections, specifically those caused by RNA viruses such as Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) or Influenza, are among the most important public health concerns to humans due to their high prevalence and associated mortality. Prevention and treatment campaigns against these viruses usually had limited efficacy, partly because their biological features allow them to reach very high levels of diversity, both at the within- and between-host levels. Research focused on understanding the processes and mechanisms involved in the evolution of RNA viruses, and on the clinical and/or epidemiological consequences of their diversification, is important for improving the…
Green electricity products in the United Kingdom, Germany and Finland
2014
In liberalized electricity markets, suppliers are offering several kinds of voluntary green electricity products marketed as environmentally friendly. This paper focuses on the development of these voluntary markets at household level in the UK, Germany and Finland. Since there are already existing renewable energy policies regulating and encouraging the use of renewable energy, it is important to consider whether voluntary products offer real additional benefits above these policies. Problems such as double counting or re-marketing hydropower produced in existing plants are identified. According to our study, the demand varies between countries: in Germany the number of green electricity c…
