The relationship between leisure-time physical activity and stress on workdays with special reference to heart rate variability analyses

2016

The purpose of this study was to investigate how physical activity (PA), cardio- respiratory fitness, and body composition are associated with objective heart rate variability (HRV)-based indicators of stress and recovery on workdays. Additionally, the association of subjective self-reported stress with HRV-based stress was investigated. Samples of 81 healthy men (age 26–40 years), and 16 275 Finnish employees (6863 men and 9412 women; age 18–65 years) were assessed in the cross-sectional analyses. A sample of 221 overweight psychologically distressed individuals (36 men and 185 women; age 26–60 years) was examined in both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. HRV-based stress and reco…

Sovelletun rentoutusmenetelmän arviointi sykevälivaihtelua mittaamalla

2016

TIIVISTELMÄ Dinga, J. 2016. Sovelletun rentoutusmenetelmän arviointi sykevälivaihtelua mittaamalla. Terveystieteiden laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, terveyskasvatuksen pro gradu-tutkielma, 61 sivua, 12 liitettä. Krooninen stressi on yhdistetty kohonneeseen sairastavuuteen sekä kuolleisuuteen. Sovellettu rentoutus on empiirisesti tutkittu ja validoitu, näyttöön perustuva itsehallinta- eli coping-menetelmä. Aikaisemmissa tutkimuksissa ei ole käytetty sykevälivaihtelun mittaamista sovelletun rentoutuksen arvioinnissa. Tämän pro gradu-tutkielman tarkoitus oli selvittää, minkälaisia muutoksia sovelletun rentoutuksen interventiolla on koehenkilöiden stressiin ja palautumiseen sykevälivaihtelua mitt…

Solving Conflicts among Conservation, Economic, and Social Objectives in Boreal Production Forest Landscapes: Fennoscandian Perspectives

2018

This chapter discusses challenges and possibilities involved in preserving biological diversity and the diversity of ecosystem services in the boreal zone and yet at the same time maintaining intensive timber extraction in boreal forests. Our focus is on Fennoscandian forests at the landscapes level, and we consider economic, social and ecological in the sustainability of forest management. We provide an outlook to boreal forest ecosystems and their history, and an overview of the forestry practices and policies that aim to ensure multi-functionality of Fennoscandian forests, i.e. diversity of efforts on sustaining biodiversity, timber production and other ecosystem services from forest lan…

Virkakieltä verkossa : miten Kela lähestyy asiakasta?

2011

Julkishallinnon organisaatioiden käyttämä virkakieli on tärkeä yhteiskunnallisen viestinnän ja hallinnon asiakassuhteiden ylläpidon väline. Virkakieltä on huollettu Suomessa jo pitkään, mutta silti kielenhuoltajat tunnistavat siinä edelleen huomattavia ongelmia, jotka haittaavat hallinnon ja sen asiakkaiden välistä viestintää. Hallinnon tehtävänä on palvella yhteiskuntaa ja asiakkaitaan, joten sen kielenkäytöllä on merkitystä. Hallinnon kielenkäyttöä ohjeistetaan muun muassa lainsäädännöllä. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelen keskeisen valtionhallinnon toimijan Kansaneläkelaitoksen, Kelan, verkkosivustolla käytettyä kieltä. Selvitän, miten Kela kielenkäytössään lähestyy asiakasta, miten se tuo…

Implementing structured document production to support enterprise content management

2017

Within enterprise content management (ECM), the major goal is to develop and deploy systematic solutions for managing documents and other content items. ECM implementation concerns the development and deployment of new content management solutions and practices in an organization. Extensible Markup Language (XML) offers a standardized format for documents supporting the management and preservation of documents as structured documents. However, the deployment of XML may require a demanding standardization process, changes in work practices, and new tools for document management. Consequently, this research explores the implementation of structured document production environments. The focus …

Information Integration, Coordination Failures, and Quality of Prescribing

2020

Poor information flows hamper coordination, potentially leading to suboptimal decisions in health care. We examine the effects of a nationwide policy of information integration on the quality of prescribing. We use the rollout of an electronic prescribing system in Finland and prescription-level administrative data. We find no effect on the probability of co-prescribing harmful drug combinations in urban regions. In rural regions, this probability reduces substantially, by 35 percent. The effect is driven by prescriptions from unspecialized physicians and from multiple physicians. Improving the local information environment thus enhances coordination and narrows differences in the quality o…

Collaborative EA Information Elicitation Method : The IEM for Business Architecture

2015

This study contributes to the enterprise architecture (EA) methodologies by suggesting a method for eliciting architecture requirements: gathering both the current architecture information, and the development needs and requirements for the business architecture (BA) dimension in EA planning. Most of all EA dimensions, the developing of the BA requires collaboration with various non-IT stakeholders. It presents thus challenges to the IT department, or the consultancy involved in EA related efforts. The contribution of the various stakeholder groups as informants is, however, crucial to well founded EA design decisions. The suggested method takes related IS development fields as starting poi…

Quality Management in Service Desk : How Does Service Desk Managers Define and Measure Quality

2018

Many public and private sector organisations are depending on IT services provided by external service providers. The quality of the service affects the customer satisfaction and consequently the customer behaviour. The concept of quality has many meanings in the literature. In this paper, we study how service desk managers perceive the concept of quality and how to manage it in an organisation which has adopted ITIL. Our findings indicate that the quality is seen only in terms of how the agreed service levels are achieved. This view excludes the quality of the processes used to deliver IT services. Quality measurements are reflecting the perception of the concept of quality. peerReviewed

Icons: Visual representation to enrich requirements engineering work

2013

Adapting icons in requirements engineering can support the multifaceted needs of stakeholders. Conventional ap- proaches to RE are mainly highlighted in diagrams. This paper introduces icon-based information as a way to represent ideas and concepts in the requirements engineering domain. We report on icon artifacts that support requirements engi- neering work such as priority types, status states and stakeholder kinds. We evaluate how users interpret meanings of icons and the efficacy of icon prototypes shaped to represent those requirements attributes. Our hypothesis is whether practitioners can recognize the icons’ meaning in terms of their functional representation. According to the empi…
