The discursive legitimation strategies of a nascent market
2017
Since the introduction of Gold&Green Foods Ltd’s Pulled Oats (Nyhtökaura) to the Finnish market in the spring 2016, the Finnish media has been increasingly reviewing different plant-based protein products. Gold&Green Ltd’s Pulled Oats has experienced extensive media coverage amongst other Finnish plant-based protein products which have been launched during 2016 such as VersoFood Ltd’s Härkis, Viipurilainen Kotileipomo’s Puhtikaura etc. It has yet to be seen whether the sudden inception of several plant-based protein product innovations will be defined as a pivotal era in the Finnish food industry or just a passing trend. Finnish media has aldo categorized MiFu as one of the up and coming fo…

Diet quality and academic achievement : A prospective study among primary school children
2017
Purpose Poor diet quality may impair academic achievement in children, but such evidence is limited. Therefore, we investigated the associations of healthy diet in Grade 1 assessed by Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS), Baltic Sea Diet Score (BSDS), and Finnish Children Healthy Eating Index (FCHEI) with academic achievement in Grades 1–3 in children. Methods The participants were 161 Finnish children who were 6–8 years old in Grade 1 and attended in a large ongoing physical activity and dietary intervention study. Dietary factors were assessed using 4-day food records, and MDS, BSDS, and FCHEI were calculated. Academic achievement was assessed by reading fluency, reading comprehension, and arit…

Effects of exercise and dietary intervention on serum metabolites in men with insomnia symptoms : a 6-month randomized-controlled trial
2020
Accumulating evidence show that exercise and diet interventions are associated with improved sleep quality. Studies investigating the effects of exercise and dieting on circulating metabolomics in people with sleep disorders, particularly insomnia, are scarce. The present study is a part of a 6-month randomized lifestyle intervention on sleep disorder subjects. Seventy-two Finnish men (aged: 51.6 ± 10.1 years) with chronic insomnia symptoms who were assigned into different intervention groups completed this study (exercise n = 24, diet n = 27 and control n = 21). We found exercise and diet intervention were associated with improved sleep quality and a number of metabolites across different …
Kuuleeko eduskunta tieteentekijöitä?
2023
Viimeisen neljännesvuosisadan aikana eduskunnan valiokunnat kuulivat yli 10 000 kertaa tieteentekijöitä asiantuntijoina. Tutkijoiden osuus kaikista valiokuntien kuulemista henkilöstä on kuitenkin alle kymmenen prosenttia. Lisäksi tieteentekijöiden kuulemiset jakautuivat epätasaisesti valiokuntien, hallituskausien ja kuultujen tieteentekijöiden välillä. nonPeerReviewed
Ei almuja sankarivainajien lapsille : sotaorpojen huolto jatkosodan aikana Jämsässä
2011
Pro gradu -tutkielmani tarkoituksena on selvittää sotaorpoja taloudellisesti avustaneet tahot jatkosodan aikana Jämsässä. Tarkastelun alaisena on niin toimijat kuin toimintamuodotkin. Pyrkimyksenä on tarkastella sekä valtion roolia avustustyössä että vapaaehtoisia avustusmuotoja. Tutkimus on tehty paikallistason näkökulmasta käyttäen esimerkkikuntana Jämsää. Paikallistason tutkimuksen kautta on mahdollisuus tarkastella toteutunutta tilannetta sekä ottaa huomioon paikallisyhteisön asennoituminen ja aktiivisuussotaorpojen avustamista kohtaan. Virallisia avustusmuotoja oli valtion myöntämä huoltoeläke sotaorpostatuksen saaneille alle 17 -vuotiaille kaatuneiden lapsille. Täysorvoilla oli mahdol…
A Cross-Cultural Exploratory Study of Health Behaviors and Wellbeing During COVID-19
2021
This study explored the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived health behaviors; physical activity, sleep, and diet behaviors, alongside associations with wellbeing. Participants were 1,140 individuals residing in the United Kingdom (n = 230), South Korea (n = 204), Finland (n = 171), Philippines (n = 132), Latin America (n = 124), Spain (n = 112), North America (n = 87), and Italy (n = 80). They completed an online survey reporting possible changes in the targeted behaviors as well as perceived changes in their physical and mental health. Multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA) on the final sample (n = 1,131) revealed significant mean differences regarding perceived physical…
Invasive catfish in northern Italy and their impacts on waterbirds
2022
Predatory fish have occasionally been observed preying on birds, sometimes repeatedly, but few studies were able to unravel the overall significance of avian prey in fish diet and the predation impacts on bird populations. We used a control/impact study setup, using a Nature Reserve in northern Italy and a nearby control area, to determine: 1) the contribution of waterbirds to wels catfish diet in the Reserve, 2) the population density of wels catfish in the Reserve and control area and 3) the potential impacts of waterbird depredation by wels catfish on waterbird population trends. Our stable isotope Bayesian mixing model indicated that birds contributed 12.2% (5–27.9%, 50% confidence inte…
Effect of Combining Impact-Aerobic and Strength Exercise, and Dietary Habits on Body Composition in Breast Cancer Survivors Treated with Aromatase In…
2023
This study examines both the effect of a twice-weekly combined exercise—1 h session of strength and 1 h session of impact-aerobic—on body composition and dietary habits after one year of treatment with aromatase inhibitors (AI) in breast cancer survivors. Overall, forty-three postmenopausal women with a BMI ≤ 35 kg/m2, breast cancer survivors treated with AI, were randomized into two groups: a control group (CG) (n = 22) and a training group (IG) (n = 21). Body composition, i.e., abdominal, visceral, and subcutaneous adipose tissue) was measured by magnetic resonance. In addition, some questionnaires were used to gather dietary data and to measure adherence to the Mediterranean diet. After …
