"Heittäydy vapauteen" : avantgarde ja Kauko Lehtisen taiteen murros 1961-1965
2007
Ulla Huhtamäki tarkastelee tutkimuksessaan taidemaalari Kauko Lehtisen (s.1925) taiteen murrosta vuosina 1961-1965. Lehtinen lähti Pariisiin kevättalvella 1961 etsimään uusia vaikutteita muuttaakseen omaa työskentelytapaansa, joka oli alkanut tuntua ”nyppimiseltä”. Lehtinen näki Pariisissa mm. uusrealistien ja uusdadaistien taidetta. Hän näki esim. Robert Rauschenbergin ja Alberto Burrin näyttelyt. Impasse Ronsin taiteilijakorttelissa Lehtinen näki Jean Tinguylen ateljeen edessä isot romukasat ja Niki de Saint Phallen ampumassa rikki väripusseja. Lehtinen tunsi olevansa ajan hermolla. Tämän matkan aikana Lehtisen työskentelyssä tapahtui syvällinen muutos. Hän hylkäsi visuaalisen mallin käyt…
Needs, Aggravation, and Degree of Burnout in Informal Caregivers of Patients with Chronic Cardiovascular Disease
2020
This study aimed to answer three main questions with respect to home caregivers for people with cardiovascular disease: (1) Are the needs of home caregivers being met (and at what level)?
‘Ain't nothin' like the real thing’. Motivation and study processes on a work-based project course in information systems design
2007
Background. Advocates of the project method claim that project-based learning inspires student learning. However, it has been claimed that project-based learning environments demand quite a bit of self-regulation on the part of the learner. Aims. Consequently, it was tested whether students scoring low in self-regulation of learning experienced ‘friction’, an incompatibility between student self-regulation and the demands posed by the learning environment. This would be manifest in cognitive processing and motivation. Samples. The target group consisted of 58 mainly third-year Finnish university students taking a mandatory project course in information systems design. During the project cou…
Anxiety symptoms among informal caregivers in 47 low- and middle-income countries: A cross-sectional analysis of community-based surveys.
2022
Background-\ud \ud There are no multi-country studies on the association between informal caregiving and anxiety from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Therefore, we investigated this relationship in a large predominantly nationally representative sample from 47 LMICs.\ud \ud Methods-\ud \ud Cross sectional data from the World Health Survey were analyzed. Anxiety symptoms referred to severe or extreme problems with worries or anxiety in the past 30 days.\ud \ud Information on caregiving in the past 12 months was obtained. Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, marital status, education, household size, employment, disability, and country was conducted. Da…
The integration of informal business law in the OHADA framework. Methodological reflections
2021
OHADA represents today a successful example of legal integration that offers a modern and reliable legal environment regarding business law in those countries that have joined it. However, such a modern integrated system of business law appears to be unsuited to the informal business sector that still represents a vital segment of the economy in most of the African countries. The paper discusses the attempts that have been made to integrate the informal business sector in the OHADA framework, trying to understand the reasons why they have been substantially unsuccessful and suggests a possible way forward to make such integration possible.
Community-dwelling older adults and their informal carers call for more attention to psychosocial needs - Interview study on unmet care needs in thre…
2022
Background: Unmet care needs are usually defined in terms of receiving sufficient help in instrumental activities and activities of daily living. Research on unmet needs is mostly based on quantitative data. Older persons’ and informal carers’ views and experiences have received less attention. Methods: In this paper, we rely on a definition of unmet needs which includes both unmet needs due to insufficient care and those situations where informal carers experience undue strain. Using theory-driven content analysis, we examine community-dwelling older adults’ and their informal carers’ experiences of unmet needs: what kind of unmet needs they have, why and in which ways these needs are left…
Hands-On Math and Art Exhibition Promoting Science Attitudes and Educational Plans
2017
The current science, technology, engineering, art, math education (STEAM) approach emphasizes integration of abstract science and mathematical ideas for concrete solutions by art. The main aim was to find out how experience of learning mathematics differed between the contexts of school and an informal Math and Art Exhibition. The study participants (N=256) were 12-13 years old from Finland. Several valid questionnaires and tests were applied (e.g., SRQ-A, RAVEN) in pre- and postdesign showing a good reliability. The results based on General Linear Modeling and Structural Equation Path Modeling underline the motivational effects. The experience of the effectiveness of hands-on learning at s…
Do informal musical activities shape auditory skill development in preschool-age children?
2013
The influence of formal musical training on auditory cognition has been well established. For the majority of children, however, musical experience does not primarily consist of adult-guided training on a musical instrument. Instead, young children mostly engage in everyday musical activities such as singing and musical play. Here, we review recent electrophysiological and behavioral studies carried out in our laboratory and elsewhere which have begun to map how developing auditory skills are shaped by such informal musical activities both at home and in playschool-type settings. Although more research is still needed, the evidence emerging from these studies suggests that, in addition to f…
Le lenti del Sud: informalità mediterranea e rivoluzioni post- pandemiche nel quartiere CEP di Palermo
2021
I fenomeni di abitazione informale si declinano in modalità eterogenee e complesse. La specificità dei contesti sud-europei induce a mettere in crisi i modelli che interpretano questi temi seguendo le esperienze anglosassoni o nord-europei e a sviluppare un filone di ragionamento teorico che tenti di scardinare il legame tra informalità e ritardo (economico, sociale, culturale). Questo contributo tenta dunque di fornire una chiave di lettura innovativa, a partire dal caso studio del quartiere CEP di Palermo, dove l’informalità non si declina esclusivamente nelle pratiche abitative ma si spinge oltre la dimensione privata, nello spazio pubblico. Se è vero che l’esperienza pandemica contempor…
