Päiväkoti-ikäisten lasten fyysisen aktiivisuuden mittaaminen Suomessa OSRAC-P mittarilla
2011
TIIVISTELMÄ Seppälä, A. 2011. Päiväkoti-ikäisten lasten fyysisen aktiivisuuden mittaaminen Suomessa OSRAC-P mittarilla. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu – tutkielma 84 s. 2 liites. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, soveltuuko kansainvälinen lasten fyysisen aktiivisuuden mittaamiseen tarkoitettu OSRAC-P (Observational System for Recording Physical Activity in Children-Preschool version) mittari päiväkoti-ikäisten lasten fyysisen aktiivisuuden mittaamiseen Suomessa. Tutkimuksella pyrittiin vastaamaan myös kysymyksiin, mitä OSRAC-P mittarilla mitatut tulokset kertovat päiväkoti-ikäisten lasten fyysisestä aktiivisuudesta, eroaako fyysisen aktiivisuuden intensiteetti t…
Integrating greenness into a balanced scorecard in a food processing company
2012
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate how and why a case company integrated an environmental management system (EMS) into a performance management system (PMS), specifically a balanced scorecard (BSC).Design/methodology/approachThis interpretative case study utilized qualitative methods in semi‐structured interviews, internal documents and e‐mails.FindingsThe company integrated its environmental measures into the process perspective in its BSC. The integration centralized its fragmented PMS, stimulated its strategic control and complemented its financial reporting. This integration also crystallized the causality between the company's environmental actions and financial perform…
Communication quality and added value: a measurement instrument for municipalities
2009
PurposeThis study aims to achieve a better understanding of communication quality and how it can be measured in the municipal context. A previously developed instrument for measuring communication in municipalities is tested and evaluated.Design/methodology/approachThe instrument draws on the balanced scorecard of Kaplan and Norton and quality control procedures as utilised by the European Foundation of Quality Measurement (EFQM). For municipalities, communication quality can be defined as the degree to which communication contributes towards the effectiveness of municipal policy and how it strengthens the relationship between citizens and municipal organisations. Three communication functi…
Structural Validity of the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score for Orthopaedic Pathologies with Rasch Measurement Theory
2022
Publisher Copyright: © 2021 The Authors A B S T R A C T Background: The Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) is one of the most frequently used patient reported outcome measures for foot and ankle conditions. The aim is to test the structural validity of the Finnish version of the FAOS using Rasch Measurement Theory. Methods: FAOS scores were obtained from 218 consecutive patients who received operative treatment for foot and ankle conditions. The FAOS data were fitted into the Rasch model and person separation index (PSI) calculated. Results: All the five subscales provided good coverage and targeting. Three subscales presented unidimensional structure. Thirty-eight of the 42 items had orde…
Balance with logic-measuring the performance and sustainable development efforts of an NPO in rural Ethiopia.
2021
The analysis of performance of Not-for-profit organisations (NPOs) is difficult because there are several objectives and perspectives to NPO performance and accountability, especially if considered sustainably and in long term. This suggests that performance analysis and measurement of NPOs might also involve multiple perspectives, such as in Balanced Scorecard (BSC) or in the Logical Framework (LF) models. This article is a case study of analysing the sustainable development and performance of an NPO in rural Ethiopia. We propose the Logic Balanced Scorecard (LBSC) model that combines elements of BSC and LF. This proposal was preliminarily used and tested in a five-year interventionist acc…

Validity of the Wrist-Worn Polar Vantage V2 to Measure Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability at Rest
2021
Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) can be monitored with wearable devices throughout the day. Resting HRV in particular, reflecting cardiac parasympathetic activity, has been proposed to be a useful marker in the monitoring of health and recovery from training. This study examined the validity of the wrist-based photoplethysmography (PPG) method to measure HR and HRV at rest. Recreationally endurance-trained participants recorded pulse-to-pulse (PP) and RR intervals simultaneously with a PPG-based watch and reference heart rate sensor (HRS) at a laboratory in a supine position (n = 39; 5-min recording) and at home during sleep (n = 29; 4-h recording). In addition, analyses wer…
Kuunteleminen keskustelussa – yhdysvaltalaisen ja suomalaisen aineiston vertailu
2005
Keskustelukuuntelun aikajännemittari (Conversational Listening Span, CLS) mittaa kokeellisesti henkilöiden keskustelukuuntelemisen kapasiteettia. Kyseinen kapasiteetti tarkoittaa niiden kognitiivisten merkityksien määrää, joita joku kykenee pitämään aktiivisena muistissaan ja joihin hän pystyy vastaamaan keskustelun kuluessa. Keskustelukuuntelun aikajännemittari tarjoaa puheviestintätutkimukseen uuden näkökulman: se mittaa kuuntelemisen prosessia, kun aiemmat mittarit ovat perustuneet esimerkiksi itsearviointiin tai toisen henkilön arviointiin jonkun kuuntelusta. Artikkeli esittelee mittarin ja testaa sen toimivuutta eri kieli— ja kulttuurisessa ympäristössä; Yhdysvalloissa ja Suomessa. Pää…
