The effects of book exposure and reading interest on oral language skills of children with and without a familial risk of dyslexia
2020
The potential role of home literacy environment (HLE) in children's language development has been widely studied. However, data on the HLE of children with familial risk (FR) of dyslexia are limited. In this longitudinal study, we examined (a) whether amount of book exposure and reading interest at age 4 were different in samples of Norwegian FR and no FR‐children, respectively, (b) whether these home literacy‐related factors exerted different effects depending on family‐risk status on vocabulary and grammar skills at school entry age (6 years) and (c) whether they contributed independently to language outcomes at age 6, after controlling for the 4;6‐year language skills. Results showed no …
Early discharge and home treatment of patients with low-risk pulmonary embolism with the oral factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban: an international multi…
2020
Abstract Aims To investigate the efficacy and safety of early transition from hospital to ambulatory treatment in low-risk acute PE, using the oral factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban. Methods and results We conducted a prospective multicentre single-arm investigator initiated and academically sponsored management trial in patients with acute low-risk PE (EudraCT Identifier 2013-001657-28). Eligibility criteria included absence of (i) haemodynamic instability, (ii) right ventricular dysfunction or intracardiac thrombi, and (iii) serious comorbidities. Up to two nights of hospital stay were permitted. Rivaroxaban was given at the approved dose for PE for ≥3 months. The primary outcome was sympto…
Effects of 12-month home-based physiotherapy on duration of living at home and functional capacity among older persons with signs of frailty or with …
2018
Health concerns, such as frailty and osteoporotic fractures decrease functional capacity and increase use of health and social care services in the aging population. The ability to continue living at home is dependent on functional capacity, which can be enhanced by rehabilitation. We study the effects of a 12-month home-based physiotherapy program with 12-month follow-up on duration of living at home, functional capacity, and the use of social and health care services among older persons with signs of frailty, or with a recently operated hip fracture. This is a non-blinded, parallel group, randomized controlled trial performed in South Karelia Social and Health Care District, Finland (popu…
Esineiden internet luo kodistasi älykkään ympäristön
2015
Esineiden internetiä pidetään seuraavana IT-vallankumouksena, koska kyseinen teknologia rakentaa älykkäitä ympäristöjä tuomalla internetyhteyden esineisiin. Yksi tulevaisuuden älykäs ympäristö voi olla kotimme. Tämä kandidaatintutkielma on kirjallisuuskatsaus, jossa selvitetään, mitä kaikkia hyötyjä esineiden internet mahdollistaa kodeissa nyt ja tulevaisuudessa. Tämä tutkielma auttaa ymmärtämään älykkäiden kotien liiketoiminnallisia mahdollisuuksia ja esineiden internetin tuomaa muutosta kodeissa. Tutkielmassa käsitellään esineiden internetin mahdollistamia hyötyjä kodin terveydenhuollon, kodin turvallisuuden, kodin energiatehokkuuden sekä kodin vaivattomuuden ja mukavuuden saroilla. Tutki…
Mass Communications as a Vehicle to Lure Russian Émigrés Homeward
2011
After the millions of wartime displaced citizens had been forcibly returned to the Soviet Union after the Second World War, the Soviet Union inaugurated a new type of campaign in the mid-1950s to get all the remaining Soviet citizens and former émigrés from Sovietoccupied areas to migrate back. In this campaign, the Soviets used all the means of mass communication they were able to produce, especially radio combined with the press and direct contact with people. The campaign was not very successful, at least not among the people it was supposed to lure back: people residing in Europe. However, many people, especially from Latin America, migrated back to the Soviet Union, only to be disappoi…
Digital skills and application use among Finnish home care workers in the eldercare sector
2021
This chapter explores the role digital skills, interest in technology, and social support have in home care workers’ use of digital applications at work. The empirical research is based on the 2019 University of Jyväskylä survey study on eldercare work (N = 6,903), drawn from the members of four majors trade unions in Finland. In this chapter, a sub-sample of home care workers (n = 1,398) is used in the analyses. Structural equation models are used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of available technology support, digital skills, and interest in technology on the actual use of various digital applications at work. According to the results, technology support has no direct effect o…
Math homework : Parental help and children’s academic outcomes
2019
In the present study, we examined the longitudinal relations between child-perceived parental help with math homework (i.e., support and control), children's math skills, and mother-reported task persistent behavior in homework situations. A total of 624 mother–child dyads were followed across Grade 6 and Grade 9, controlling for Grade 3 variables. At each measurement point, children completed math tests, and their mothers evaluated task persistence during homework. In Grades 6 and 9, children reported their perceptions of their parents’ help with math homework. First, the results showed that perceived support in Grade 6 predicted an increase in persistence during homework in Grade 9. Secon…
Tuhoisa influentsa tarttui leskipastorska Pihlin kotikirjastoon: pandemian vaikutus 1800-luvun perheen kirjakokoelmaan
2023
1800-luvulla kirjoilla oli esineinä vielä rahallista ja yhteiskunnalliseen statukseen liittyvää arvoa, ja omistajan kuolema aloitti yleensä vain uuden luvun kirjan elämässä. Tutkin kuolinpesien kirjakokoelmien kohtaloja käyttämällä esimerkkinä erästä 1800-luvun lopun tapausta, jossa leskipastorska Pihl antoi kotikirjastonsa kirjoja helsinkiläiselle Minerva-antikvariaatille myytäväksi. Mikrohistoriallinen esimerkki kertoo perheenjäsenen kuolemantapauksen vaikutuksesta eri sukupuolten ja sukupolvien kirjanomistukseen. Tarkastelen, miten säätyläisperheissä, kuten pappisperheissä, yhtäkkinen kuolema muutti kirjojen omistussuhteita, ja kuinka perheen sisällä miesten ja naisten suhtautuminen kirj…
Pohjois-Amerikka rahastot : case-tutkimus rahastojen suoriutumisesta
2016
Tässä tutkielmassa tutkitaan Yhdysvaltoihin sijoittavien rahastojen suoriutumista aika- välillä 01/2005-01/2016. Aineisto koostuu rahastoista, joita joko hallinnoidaan Yhdys- valloissa tai Pohjoismaissa, ja joiden sijoitukset kohdistuvat Yhdysvaltoihin. Aineisto koostuu 10:n pohjoismaalaisen rahaston ja 16:n amerikkalaisen rahaston kuukausi- tuotoista ja rahastot ovat kasvurahastoja. Tässä työssä asetetaan vastakkain amerikkalaisten salkunhoitajien ja pohjoismaalaisten salkunhoitajien osaaminen. Rahastojen suoriutumista on mitattu Jensenin (1968) alphalla ja kolmen faktorin mallilla (Fama & French, 1993). Rahastojen suoriutuminen on mitattu koko aikavälillä, mutta lisäksi myös kahdella lyhy…
Revisiting the Nordic long-term care model for older people - still equal?
2022
With the extensive long-term care services for older people, the Nordic countries have been labelled ‘caring states’ as reported (Leira, Welfare state and working mothers: the Scandinavian experience, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1992). The emphasis on services and not cash benefits ensures the Nordics a central place in the public service model (Anttonen and Sipilä, J Eur Soc Policy 6:87–100, 1996). The main feature of this ideal model is public social care services, such as home care and residential care services, which can cover the need for personal and medical care, as well as assistance with household chores. These services are provided within a formally and professionally b…
