Young adults personal concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic in Finland: an issue for social concern
2020
PurposeThis study focuses on how young adults face the COVID-19 pandemic by investigating their personal concerns about mental well-being, career/studies and economic situation. The authors investigated how young adults' (aged 18–29) personal concerns differ from older people's concerns (aged 30–65) and which person- and context-related antecedents relate to personal concerns.Design/methodology/approachData of Finnish young adults aged 18–29 (n = 222), who participated in the “Corona Consumers” survey (N = 1,000) in April 2020, were analyzed by path analysis and compared to participants aged 30–65 by independent samples t-test.FindingsYoung adults were significantly more concerned about the…
Participation and performance trends in multistage ultramarathons—the ‘Marathon des Sables’ 2003–2012
2012
Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate participation and performance changes in the multistage ultramarathon ‘Marathon des Sables’ from 2003 to 2012. Methods Participation and performance trends in the four- or six-stage running event covering approximately 250 km were analyzed with special emphasis on the nationality and age of the athletes. The relations between gender, age, and nationality of finishers and performance were investigated using regression analyses and analysis of variance. Results Between 2003 and 2012, a number of 7,275 athletes with 938 women (12.9%) and 6,337 men (87.1%) finished the Marathon des Sables. The finisher rate in both women (r 2 = 0.…
Correlates of Sedentary Behaviour in Adults with Intellectual Disabilities—A Systematic Review
2018
Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) are at high risk for high levels of sedentary behaviour. To inform the development of programmes to reduce sedentary behaviour, insight into the correlates is needed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to review the evidence on correlates of sedentary behaviour in adults with ID. We performed a systematic literature search in Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, Web of Science and Google Scholar up to 19 January 2018, resulting in nine included studies that were published from 2011 to 2018. Correlates were categorized according to the ecological model. Studies predominantly focused on individual level correlates. Of those correlates studied in more tha…
Ghosts from the Abyss. The imagination of new worlds in the sea-narratives of Afrofuturism
2022
This contribution aims to investigate a different ghostscape, shaped by the turbulent materiality of the sea: the abyss. A space of trauma and simultaneously of becoming, it is populated by spectral objects, traces, fragments, and, above all, ghosts. Looking into the abyss through the turbulent materiality of the sea (where the turbulence recalls Haraway’s trouble and the materiality a livingness of the world in which “matter comes to matter”), sea-related ghosts from the Black Atlantic to the Black Mediterranean emerge as absences-presences that matter. The emersion of sea-related new worlds is one of the main topics of Afrofuturism narratives: from the Drexciya world to the Novella The De…
Electronic government and corruption: Systematic literature review, framework, and agenda for future research
2021
Abstract The notion of corruption has emerged as a prominent topic against the backdrop of e-government. However, there are diverse but disorganized viewpoints about the relationship between e-government and corruption, thus creating difficulties in obtaining a structured overview of the existing literature and identifying the avenues to take this research area forward. Despite this, prior studies have made limited attempts to gather these fragmented observations to guide future research holistically. To address this concern, we conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) of 63 articles discussing e-government and corruption and provide a comprehensive synthesis of the current knowledge in…
On the relation between present and future tense in Lithuanian: Preliminary considerations in the domain of non-deictic tense use
2021
The article examines non-deictic uses of present and future tense in Lithuanian. Narrative use, in which reference intervals match with singular events, is distinguished from suspended propositions characterized by lack of such reference intervals (habitual, dispositional and circumstantial modal, and conditional meanings). Present tense is frequently involved in both usage domains, while the future is rare in narrative use, but overlaps with present tense in certain types of suspended propositions. Moreover, its temporal-deictic use is inherently associated with suspended propositions and “linked” to them via epistemic implicatures. This, in contrast to the present, makes the future more l…
Fundamentación filosófica de la justicia intergeneracional
2012
Considerando el alcance de las consecuencias de nuestra crisis ecológica, un imperativo moral nos recuerda la necesidad de velar por las condiciones de vida de las generaciones futuras. Este texto ofrece un repaso por las principales propuestas filosóficas que han abordado dicho imperativo, tanto a su favor como en su contra. Hans Jonas y John Rawls han representado cada uno por su lado dos de las tendencias más importantes. El primero se ha ocupado de una fundamentación metafísica, mientras que el segundo ha optado por la política. La segunda parte de la tesina muestra igualmente como el debate se ha prolongado a través de las escuelas contractualistas y utilitaristas, filtrándose de este …
Fraternidad cósmica y metajusticia
2012
El escenario contemporáneo hace necesaria la consideración de las generaciones futuras, ya que los avances científicos en materia de bioética y el desarrollo económico pueden repercutir de manera decisiva en la configuración del medioambiente y su habitabilidad para el humano. La consideración moral de estas generaciones futuras presenta serias dificultades para la ética convencional, y el problema parece más fácilmente abordable remontándonos a la idea de fraternidad cósmica presentada por Francisco de Asís, la cual viene reconfigurándose hasta el momento actual en diferentes filosofías. Trataremos, pues, de ofrecer una (visión de) paralaje entre san Francisco y Hans Jonas con su rehabilit…

Future Orientation and Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression in Italian University Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Resilience and the…
2022
Several studies have already examined the psychological impact of COVID-19 on psychological well-being in samples of the general population. However, given the importance of future orientation for university students’ mental well-being, it is important to explore whether and how COVID-19 affected this vulnerable population. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the protective role of future orientation and the mediating effect of resilience on negative emotional symptoms (anxiety and depression). An online questionnaire was administered to a sample of 244 non-infected Italian university students. The mediation analysis results indicated that resilience fully mediated the relation…
