Toward Self-Aware Robots
2018
Despite major progress in Robotics and AI, robots are still basically “zombies” repeatedly achieving actions and tasks without understanding what they are doing. Deep-Learning AI programs classify tremendous amounts of data without grasping the meaning of their inputs or outputs. We still lack a genuine theory of the underlying principles and methods that would enable robots to understand their environment, to be cognizant of what they do, to take appropriate and timely initiatives, to learn from their own experience and to show that they know that they have learned and how. The rationale of this paper is that the understanding of its environment by an agent (the agent itself and its effect…
The Global Blood Pressure Screening Campaign of the International Society of Hypertension
2020
Elevated blood pressure remains the single biggest risk factor contributing to the global burden of disease and mortality. May Measurement Month is an annual global screening campaign aiming to improve awareness of blood pressure at the individual and population level. Adults (≥18 years) recruited through opportunistic sampling were screened at sites in 92 countries during May 2019. Ideally, 3 blood pressure readings were measured for each participant, and data on lifestyle factors and comorbidities were collected. Hypertension was defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg, or a diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg (mean of the second and third readings) or taking antihypertensive medic…
Measuring users' level of information security awareness : research and development of sample questions
2017
Tämän gradun tarkoituksena on käsiteanalyysin avulla hahmottaa tärkeimpiä omaisuuksia tietoturvatietoisuudesta ja tavoista levittää sitä, tutustua niihin tarkemmin, ja muodostaa näistä perusteltuja ja käyttäjille olennaisia kysymyksiä joilla selvittää käyttäjän tietoturvatietoisuutta. Aiheen tarkempi läpikäynti on tärkeää, sillä aiemmissa tutkimuksissa on havaittu, että käyttäjät kertovat noudattavansa tietoturvapolitiikoita, vaikka tarkemmin tutkittaessa eivät tienneet tai ymmärtäneet tietoturvapolitiikoiden sisältöä. Kysymysten muodostamisessa otetaan huomioon myös muita käsiteanalyysi vaiheessa selvinneitä piirteitä, joilla tehdä kysymyksistä parempia. Tuloksena esitetään 20 esimerkkikys…

THROUGH SWOT ANALYSIS AND INTERNSHIP IN INITIAL TEACHER FORMATION
2019
The aim of this work is to probe the outcomes achieved by 270 subjects, who are going to teach in primary and children’s school, when they plan and execute educational actions in the classroom, and what possible difficulties they encountered during the development of the planned teaching action. In the instructional design the teacher in formation has used SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) as a strategy for the formulation of the goals, the management and the evaluation of the didactic action. Teaching planning was understood by the students both as a structure and as a guide for the action; the design prepared the sequence of education activities, anticipated th…
Insegnanti consapevoli e critici dell’azione didattica attraverso l’analisi SWOT
2020
The present contribution aims at collecting the outcomes achieved by 211 subjects, who are going to teach in primary and children’s school, who used the SWOT Analysis as a context investigation tool to plan, implement and evaluate classroom interventions. In particular, this paper analyzes and discusses the effectiveness of a training program for future teachers, attending the 3rd year of university internship, able to strengthen their critical awareness through a functional knowledge of the school environment and of pupils. The pre-experimental research, which covered nine months in the Academic Year 2017-2018, has actually increased the performance of the sample group, consisting of under…
Systematic review of the evidence of interoceptive awareness in performers
2016
Ismael Pedraza, 2016. Systematic review of the evidence of interoceptive awareness in performers. Master s thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences. University of Jyväskylä. Pp. 53. Interoception is the conscious awareness of internal sensations coming from autonomic responses of the body including inputs such as visceral sensations, heart rate, sensations of tight muscles, etc. Those sensations are experienced due to the autonomic nervous system that is in charge of controlling and regulating bodily functions and cannot be manipulated intentionally. Previous research on interoception in performers has shown that a relationship exists between our inner bodily se…
Conceptions of Assessment as an Integral Part of Language Learning: A Case Study of Finnish and Chinese University Students
2021
Assessment is viewed as an internal and pivotal part of learning, where cultural factors, previous experiences, and future aspirations affect learners’ perceptions. In recent years, an increasing number of western universities have established their campuses or “dual” programmes in China. In the first Sino–Finnish programme, 293 Finnish and Chinese students participated in the same English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course. This study investigated students’ perceptions of assessment through an adapted version of the “Students’ Conceptions of Assessment” inventory, and it explored if the responses on each conception differ between the groups. …
