Forecasting future trajectories for immersive journalism
2021
In this book we have critically explored the emerging practices of immersive journalism. In the news business, experimenting with new forms of storytelling has become the new normal. After spending a decade to get familiar with simple virtual reality tools, however, the future of immersive journalism is still considered uncertain. Immersive storytelling appears to become more concentrated on special events and locations. Journalistic virtual reality skills are increasingly crafted away from the newsrooms by small and specialized subcontractors. Sponsoring VR by the big tech companies tends to diminish in parallel with a growing move towards augmented reality investments. peerReviewed
The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and use of painkillers among adolescent male ice hockey players in Finland
2014
Participating in competitive sport increases the risk for injuries and musculoskeletal pain among adolescent athletes. There is also evidence that the use of prescription drugs has increased among sport club athletes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of painkillers among young male ice hockey players (IHP) in comparison to schoolboys (controls) and its relation to the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and problems during activities and sleeping. Information was gathered through a questionnaire, completed by 121 IHP and compared to the responses of 618 age-matched controls. Results showed that monthly existing pain was at 82% for IHP, and 72% for controls, though IHP had st…
Boreal fishes and ultraviolet radiation : actions of UVR at molecular and individual levels
2005
Eeva-Riikka Vehniäinen on väitöskirjatyössään tutkinut UV-säteilyn vaikutuksia siian, hauen ja muikun poikasissa. Ihmisen aiheuttama otsonikerroksen ohentuminen on lisännyt maan pinnalle saapuvan ultravioletti-B-säteilyn (UVB) määrää viime vuosikymmenten aikana, ja lisääntymisen odotetaan jatkuvan vielä noin 2050-luvulle saakka. UVB-säteily on haitallista eliöille, koska se aiheuttaa vaurioita solun keskeisissä rakenteissa: DNA:ssa, proteiineissa ja lipideissä.Vehniäinen arvioi lisääntyvän UVB-säteilyn aiheuttamaa riskiä taloudellisesti ja ekologisesti tärkeille makeanveden kalalajeillemme, siialle, muikulle ja hauelle, niiden herkimmässä elämänvaiheessa välittömästi kuoriutumisen jälkeen. …
When value co-creation turns to co-destruction: Users' experiences of augmented reality mobile games
2018
Service-dominant logic (SDL) provides a well-established lens for understanding services as value co-creation processes. However, also value co-destruction can occur in service processes, but the literature on value co-destruction remains scattered and more studies are called for. We address this research gap with a classification of users’ subjective reasoning for value co-destructive experiences while playing the augmented reality (AR) mobile game Pokémon GO. We conduct laddering interviews with Pokémon GO players to uncover their value co-destruction experiences. Employing clustering analysis, we investigate users’ reasoning for value co-destruction experiences, and argue that value co-d…
Understanding Augmented Reality Game Players : Value Co-destruction Process in Pokémon Go
2017
We conceptualize the mobile game Pokémon Go as a service provider aiming to offer customers value propositions over an augmented reality (AR) platform, where players engage in co-creating value, such as fun, social unity and health. However, playing Pokémon Go can also ensue to value co-destruction through critical service interactions involving e.g. increased mobile costs, trespassing, accidents or assaults. Such could ensue to negative value outcomes, such as frustration, humiliation or unsafety. In order to prevent critical service interactions, it is significant to gain an understanding of value codestruction, which currently remains an unclear concept with a call for empirical studies.…
Journalism in virtual reality : opportunities and future research challenges
2016
This paper presents a state-of-the-art overview on journalism and its opportunities and challenges in virtual reality. First we take a look at what kind of real-life journalistic experiments there have been made in this field so far, then we analyze the research literature on journalistic VR. The paper proceeds to discuss the emergence of virtual reality and immersive journalism explored in the latest reports in the fields of HCI and VR design. In order to analyse VR-journalism further, early draft of analysis model is being developed based on sample of three VR-productions and four VR-applications. The paper concludes to discuss the results of the analysis and outlines more advanced and in…
Hexyl aminolevulinate, 5‐aminolevulinic acid nanoemulsion and methyl aminolevulinate in photodynamic therapy of non‐aggressive basal cell carcinomas:…
2020
Background In the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of non‐aggressive basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), 5‐aminolevulinic acid nanoemulsion (BF‐200ALA) has shown non‐inferior efficacy when compared with methyl aminolevulinate (MAL), a widely used photosensitizer. Hexyl aminolevulinate (HAL) is an interesting alternative photosensitizer. To our knowledge, this is the first study using HAL‐PDT in the treatment of BCCs. Objectives To compare the histological clearance, tolerability (pain and post‐treatment reaction), and cosmetic outcome of MAL, BF‐200 ALA, and low‐concentration HAL in the PDT of non‐aggressive BCCs. Methods Ninety‐eight histologically verified non‐aggressive BCCs met the inclusion criter…
Rational and design of the European randomized Optical Coherence Tomography Optimized Bifurcation Event Reduction Trial (OCTOBER)
2018
Background Percutaneous coronary intervention in complex bifurcation lesions is prone to suboptimal implantation results and is associated with increased risk of subsequent clinical events. Angiographic ambiguity is high during bifurcation stenting, but it is unknown if procedural guidance by intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) improves clinical outcome. Methods and design OCTOBER is a randomized, investigator-initiated, multicenter trial aimed to show superiority of OCT-guided stent implantation compared to standard angiographic-guided implantation in bifurcation lesions. The primary outcome measure is a 2-year composite end point of cardiac death, target lesion myocardial inf…
Interpretation, Negotiation, Play
2022
Augmented reality (AR) picturebooks combine printed children's literature with augmented reality. This study examines the shared reading of the Finnish AR picturebook Mur, eli karhu (2016) by Kaisa Happonen and Anne Vasko. The main aim of the study is to explore the playful reading experience of three Finnish families with children between the ages of 4 and 6. Three main categories of engagement with the book are discussed in the article: interpretation, negotiation, and play. The findings of the study suggest that children are skilled users of mobile digital media but may not understand the content of AR without parental mediation. In addition, parents and educators are required to have su…
Exploring Features of the Pervasive Game Pokémon GO That Enable Behavior Change: Qualitative Study
2020
BackgroundDigital gaming is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the world. While prior literature concluded that digital games can enable changes in players’ behaviors, there is limited knowledge about different types of behavior changes and the game features driving them. Understanding behavior changes and the game features behind them is important because digital games can motivate players to change their behavior for the better (or worse). ObjectiveThis study investigates the types of behavior changes and their underlying game features within the context of the popular pervasive game Pokémon GO. MethodsWe collected data from 262 respondents with a critical incident techniqu…
