Does the law matter? An empirical study on the accessibility of Finnish higher education institutions’ web pages
2022
AbstractInformation and communication technology (ICT) has made higher education available to many students in a new way. The role of online learning in higher education institutions (HEIs) has grown to an unprecedented scale due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The diversity of higher education students has increased, and accessible solutions are needed. New European and national regulations support these trends. The research reported in this paper was conducted in Finland, which is one of the leading European countries in terms of high technology and digitalisation. The aim of this research is to explore the accessibility of all Finnish HEIs’ (N = 38) landing pages based on Web Content Accessibi…

Exploring Associations of Housing, Relocation, and Active and Healthy Aging in Sweden : Protocol for a Prospective Longitudinal Mixed Methods Study
2021
Background: While housing and neighborhood features have the potential to impact opportunities for active aging, there is a lack of knowledge related to how older people reason regarding their housing situation and how housing and fulfillment of relocation are associated with active and healthy aging. Objective: The objectives of Prospective RELOC-AGE are to study housing choices and relocation and explore effects on active and healthy aging among men and women aged 55 years and older in Sweden considering relocation. Methods: The estimated sample (2800) will include people aged 55 years and older being listed for relocation at either of two housing companies: a local public housing company…
Indeksi liikuntaympäristöjen monipuolisuudesta asukkaiden lähialueella
2023
Liikunta on välttämätöntä terveyden ylläpitämiselle, ja sillä on lukemattomia positiivisia vaikutuksia sekä fyysiseen että psyykkiseen hyvinvointiin. Liikuntaympäristöjen monipuolisuus lähellä kotia voi edistää liikunnan harrastamista ja fyysisesti aktiivista elämäntapaa. Liikunnallisen elämäntavan mahdollistaminen kaikille, etenkin huono-osaisilla alueilla, voi tasoittaa alueiden välisiä hyvinvointieroja ja näin vähentää segregaation vaikutuksia. Suomessa yhdenvertaisten liikuntapalvelujen järjestäminen asukkaille on pääosin kuntien vastuulla. Tässä artikkelissa esittelemme uuden indeksin, jolla voidaan kuvata ja analysoida asukkaiden lähialueella olevien erityyppisten liikuntaympäristöjen…

Randomized controlled trial of a 12-month home-based rehabilitation aiming to improve mobility and function (ISRCTN53680197); secondary analyses.Subjects. Community-dwelling hip fracture patients on average 70 days after trauma (n=81).Methods.

Defining the accessibility of physical activity : Tracing the social dimension
2022
The promotion of the physical activity (PA) of citizens has traditionally focused on improving spatial accessibility, especially in municipal administrations. However, research evidence indicates that proximity to PA environments is not a sufficient condition for increased PA. This article presents a broader model of the dimensions of the accessibility of PA, developed in cooperation between researchers and the authorities of two cities in Finland. As a result, ten dimensions affecting accessibility have been identified: spatial, temporal, physical/technological, informational, economic, legal/ administrative, cultural/attitudinal, skills related, mental and social. A special focus of atten…
