Quantifying and easing conflicting goals between interest groups in natural resource planning
2019
Management of natural resources at the regional level is a compromise between a variety of objectives and interests. At the local level, management of the forests depends upon the ownership structure, with forest owners using their forests as they see fit. A potential conflict occurs if the forest owners’ management decisions are counter to the interests of society in general or the industry that relies on the forest resource as their raw material. We explore the intensity of this conflict at the regional level in several large boreal forest production landscapes. To explore the conflict, we investigate three main interest groups: (i) economically oriented forest owners; (ii) industry grou…
Increased Consumption of Virgin Olive Oil, Nuts, Legumes, Whole Grains, and Fish Promotes HDL Functions in Humans
2019
[Scope] To evaluate whether increases in the consumption of cardioprotective food groups (virgin olive oil, nuts, fruits/vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish, and wine) are associated with improvements in high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) functions in high cardiovascular risk subjects.

Grammar is the heart of language : grammar and its role in language learning among Finnish university students
2015
This article presents and discusses views on grammar and its role in formal language learning amongst Finnish university students. The results are based on a questionnaire which was distributed to students at the University of Jyväskylä as part of institutional action research. The background to the project was a feeling amongst some teachers of increased divergence between student respectively language teacher understandings of the role of grammar in language teaching. This concern raised the need to find out how students view grammar. The knowledge about thoughts on grammar amongst students would then help teachers to adjust and adept the way grammar is used in language teaching. The main…
Using discourse segmentation to account for the polyfunctionality of discourse markers:The case of well
2021
Abstract A large number of studies describe the many different functions of polyfunctional discourse markers like well in different contexts and from different theoretical perspectives. In the current paper, we propose to systematize the many different uses identified based on their position with respect to the discourse units they are associated with. Not only can previous findings on well be integrated into a single coherent representation of its uses and functions, but the positions with respect to the discourse units can also be associated with specific functions, thus shedding light on how the polyfunctionality of well is brought about.
New paradigm of ICT productivity – Increasing role of un-captured GDP and growing anger of consumers
2015
Abstract The dramatic advancement of the Internet has led all nations to an information communication technology (ICT) driven development trajectory. This trajectory has resulted in bi-polarization between ICT growing economies and ICT advanced economies. While the former enjoys a virtuous cycle between ICT advancement and productivity increase, the later has fallen into a trap of a vicious cycle between ICT advancement and productivity decrease. This paper identifies that this trap can be attributed to the two-faced nature of ICT in which advancement of ICT contributes to price increases due to functionality development while dramatic advancement of the Internet has resulted in price decre…
Leisure time physical activity is associated with improved HDL functionality in high cardiovascular risk individuals: a cohort study.
2020
Abstract Aims Physical activity has consistently been shown to improve cardiovascular health and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels. However, only small and heterogeneous studies have investigated the effect of exercise on high-density lipoprotein functions. Our aim is to evaluate, in the largest observational study to date, the association between leisure time physical activity and a range of high-density lipoprotein functional traits. Methods The study sample consisted of 296 Spanish adults at high cardiovascular risk. Usual leisure time physical activity and eight measures of high-density lipoprotein functionality were averaged over two measurements, one year apart. Multivariabl…
The perception of the family functionality: Confirmation of its bifactorial structure
2012
Es necesario crear instrumentos válidos, fiables y de fácil aplicación para evaluar la funcionalidad familiar. En el presente estudio se confirma la estructura bifactorial de una Escala de Funcionalidad familiar de 23 ítems aportando índices de fiabilidad y validez externa en una muestra de 185 familias con hijos adolescentes. Se analiza la discrepancia parental, y se presentan los estadísticos descriptivos de esta variable en las dimensiones que constituyen la escala: Facilitador y Perturbador. El instrumento es útil para valorar la funcionalidad y para calcular la discrepancia parental en la percepción de la vida familiar, que es también un indicador de funcionalidad. Valid, reliable and …

Primo Convegno Nazionale della Società dei territorialisti e delle territorialiste: tra approccio multidisciplinare, ritorno alla terra, valore umano…
2014
Prendendo spunto dal Primo Convegno Nazionale della Società dei Territorialisti e delle Territorialiste, che ha avuto luogo a Milano nei giorni del 17 e 18 maggio 2013, si riflette e si ripercorre la via che ha portato la pianificazione territoriale da un approccio al territorio per parti separate a quello di una lettura e progettazione di tipo sistemico ed organico che mira al superamento della precedente settorialità: l’approccio territorialista. La visione e il metodo territorialista implementa la multidisciplinarietà propria della pianificazione territoriale coinvolgendo l’identità dei luoghi, la partecipazione degli abitanti, la produzione sociale e condivisa di paesaggi, la proposta d…
