Tavoiteristiriita ja kiinteys : tapaus- ja seurantatutkimus yhdestä naisten SM-tason ringettejoukkueesta
2015
Joukkuetavoitteita tutkittaessa lähtökohtana on ollut, että kaikki pelaajat mieltävät yhteisen tavoitteen samalla tavalla. Yhdessä tutkimuksessa kuitenkin havaittiin että useassa joukkueessa vallitsi erilaisia käsityksiä yhteisestä tavoitteesta, joten ilmiö saattaa olla oletettua yleisempi. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan yhtä naisten SM-sarjassa pelannutta ringettejoukkuetta, jossa vallitsi pelaajien kesken ristiriitainen käsitys tulostavoitteesta koko kauden ajan. Tämän määrällistä ja laadullista aineistoa sisältävän tapaus- ja seurantatutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kuvata ja ymmärtää pelaajien ristiriitaisia käsityksiä yhteisestä tavoitteesta. Joukkueen pelaajat (N=20) vastasivat kolmeen…
Statistical upscaling of ecosystem CO2 fluxes across the terrestrial tundra and boreal domain: Regional patterns and uncertainties
2021
The regional variability in tundra and boreal carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes can be high, complicating efforts to quantify sink-source patterns across the entire region. Statistical models are increasingly used to predict (i.e., upscale) CO2 fluxes across large spatial domains, but the reliability of different modeling techniques, each with different specifications and assumptions, has not been assessed in detail. Here, we compile eddy covariance and chamber measurements of annual and growing season CO2 fluxes of gross primary productivity (GPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), and net ecosystem exchange (NEE) during 1990–2015 from 148 terrestrial high-latitude (i.e., tundra and boreal) sites to a…
Review of carbon emissions offsetting guidelines using instructional criteria
2023
Abstract Purpose Carbon offsetting is one of the tools that companies can use to achieve their climate targets. The ability of a company to offset its emissions successfully depends on the availability and quality of guidance on the subject. This study explores how well existing offsetting guidelines equip corporations to achieve successful emissions offsetting. Methods Instructional criteria were developed and used to evaluate seven guidelines. The contents of each guideline were assessed based on how they instruct a company to achieve emissions offsetting that fulfills five criteria for appropriate offsetting: target affiliation, Paris compatibility, effectiveness, prioritizing removals, …
The ABCflux database: Arctic-boreal CO2flux observations and ancillary information aggregated to monthly time steps across terrestrial ecosystems
2022
Past efforts to synthesize and quantify the magnitude and change in carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems across the rapidly warming Arctic–boreal zone (ABZ) have provided valuable information but were limited in their geographical and temporal coverage. Furthermore, these efforts have been based on data aggregated over varying time periods, often with only minimal site ancillary data, thus limiting their potential to be used in large-scale carbon budget assessments. To bridge these gaps, we developed a standardized monthly database of Arctic–boreal CO2 fluxes (ABCflux) that aggregates in situ measurements of terrestrial net ecosystem CO2 exchange and its derived partitioned…

Meaning in life in cancer patients: relationships with illness perception and global meaning changes
2017
BackgroundMeaning in life seems to play an important role at various stages of coping in cancer patients. It can influence the ways in which cancer patients perceive their illness and potential changes in beliefs and goals. The main aim of the current study is to examine how two dimensions – presence of and search for meaning – are related to illness perception and global meaning changes.Participants and procedureThe research was conducted among 231 cancer patients (136 women and 95 men), between 27 and 86 years of age (M = 56.73, SD = 12.64). They were diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer (stomach, colon, pancreas, liver, large intestine). The following research methods were used: the Me…
Ultrasensitive and highly specific detection of iodine ions using zirconium (IV)-enhanced oxidation
2022
Nuclear energy has significantly promoted the development of human society. However, nuclear pollution caused by nuclear accidents can lead to significant hazards to the environment and human health. As a major radioactive product, radioactive iodine (mainly existing as I−) detection has attracted significant attentions. In this study, zirconium(IV) is used to enhance the oxidation of environmental I− to form I2. Subsequently, the generated I2 oxidizes the chemical chromogenic substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine, which is used for I− detection and realizes an ultralow limit of detection (LoD) of 0.176 nM. The LoD of our method, to the best of our knowledge, is the lowest among those of…
The role of daily autonomous and controlled educational goals in students’ academic emotion states: An experience sampling method approach
2018
The present study examines antecedents of university students' academic emotions (Pekrun, Goetz, Titz, & Perry, 2002) in the context of self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1985; 2000), using realtime assessment and intra-individual analyses. We investigated whether daily autonomous and controlled-motivated educational goals predicted students' academic emotions. University students (N = 55) completed smartphone diaries over 14 consecutive days. The two-week intensive longitudinal data were organized in a hierarchical three-level structure, with situations (Level 1) nested within days (Level 2) nested within students (Level 3). Students' goal motivation was assessed in morning quest…

Worries about leadership among highly educated professionals: Associations with career aspirations and personal work goals.
 We investigated how highly educated professionals’ worries about leadership roles relate to their career aspirations and personal work goals. Altogether 1151 professionals without leadership positions participated in the survey study. Participants with a high number of leadership-related worries were not planning to pursue leadership positions. Instead, their goals included increasing personal well-being or ending their career. Vice versa, participants with least leadership-related worries strived for career advancement. These findings indicate that worries about…
NEURAL CONTROL OF GAIT IN PEOPLE WITH HAEMOPHILIC ARTHROPATHY
2022
La hemofilia es un trastorno hemorrágico causado por una deficiencia de los factores VIII o IX de la coagulación. Las personas con hemofilia grave pueden tener hemorragias espontáneas o hemorragias en respuesta a traumatismos menores; la mayoría de los eventos ocurren en las articulaciones y los músculos. La manifestación clínica más frecuente es la artropatía hemofílica, que resulta del sangrado intraarticular repetitivo y de la membrana sinovial inflamada, lo que puede resultar en dolor crónico y deterioro articular. El objetivo general de mi tesis fue investigar el control neural de la marcha en personas con artropatía hemofílica (PCAH). La hipótesis de mi tesis fue que control neural de…
