Yleisten kielitutkintojen digitaalisen kirjoittamisen pilottitestin ensituloksia
2023
Kirjoittaminen on 2000-luvun aikana muuttunut voimakkaasti eritoten digitalisaation myötä. Samalla on syntynyt tarve arvioida uudelleen sitä, millaista kirjoitustaitoa Suomessa asuva aikuinen tarvitsee ja miten kirjoitustaitoa tulisi mitata erilaisissa arvioitavan yksilön kannalta merkityksellisissä arviointitilanteissa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelemme muutostarpeita kielitaidon arvioinnin tutkimuspohjaisen kehittämisen näkökulmasta ja keskitymme kirjoitustaidon testiarviointiin. Esittelemme artikkelissa Jyväskylän yliopiston Soveltavan kielentutkimuksen keskuksessa vuosina 2020–2021 toteutetun digitaalisen kirjoittamisen pilottitestin taustaa, toteutusta ja ensituloksia. nonPeerReviewed
Population dynamics using temporal series analysis in a industrial two-stage activated sludge pilot plant
1998
A time series analysis using an autocorrelation function (ACF) was used to assess the relative importance of density (DD) and non density-dependent - (NDD) factors on microfauna abundance of a two-stage activated sludge pilot plant treating industrial effluents. Although some previous work has detected a carrying capacity for the total microfauna abundance in both reactors, ACF showed a general pattern of non-density dependent abundance regulation. Stationarity due to density-dependent factors was observed for the two major species in the first reactor, the sessile Opercularia asymmetrica and the crawling Chilodonatella minuta. There was no evidence of bacterial competition and only weak ev…
Enhancing social and health care educators’ competence in digital pedagogy: A pilot study of educational intervention
2021
The purpose of this pilot study was to explore connection of an educational intervention on the competence of health care educators and educator candidates (n=11) in digital pedagogy as a part of national TerOpe project. An educational intervention, Basics of Digital Pedagogy was developed by the TerOpe project’s experts. The participating educators and educator candidates of the educational intervention were recruited from the universities and university of applied sciences, which were involved in TerOpe project. All the participants of the educational interventions were invited to take part in this study. The educational intervention was conducted during spring 2019. Pre- and post-tests w…
The LANN technique to reduce postoperative functional morbidity in laparoscopic radical pelvic surgery
2005
BACKGROUND: We investigated the feasibility and advantages of introducing Laparoscopic Neuro-Navigation (LANN) into the field of laparoscopic gynecologic radical pelvic surgery. STUDY DESIGN: In a prospective pilot study, 261 consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic radical pelvic surgery for cervical cancer or deep infiltrating endometriosis of the parametria. During the procedure, dissection and electrostimulation, and consequently, sparing of the pelvic parasympathetic nerves by transection of the parametria, were performed. Postoperative bladder dysfunction was documented. RESULTS: Laparoscopic dissection and electrostimulation of the pelvic splanchnic nerves were feasible in all pat…
Effect on Orange Juice of Batch Pasteurization in an Improved Pilot-Scale Microwave Oven
2010
The effects on orange juice batch pasteurization in an improved pilot-scale microwave (MW) oven was evaluated by monitoring pectin methyl-esterase (PME) activity, color, carotenoid compounds and vitamin C content. Trials were performed on stirred orange juice heated at different temperatures (60, 70, 75, and 85 degrees C) during batch process. MW pilot plant allowed real-time temperature control of samples using proportional integrative derivative (PID) techniques based on the infrared thermography temperature read-out. The inactivation of heat sensitive fraction of PME, that verifies orange juice pasteurization, showed a z-value of 22.1 degrees C. Carotenoid content, responsible for sensor…
Una reconstrucció del joc de pilota valenciana als pobles de la comarca de l'Horta Sud de València de 1900 a 1975: una investigació des de la històri…
2015
Malauradament, i tret de contades excepcions, el joc de pilota valenciana no ha esdevingut un tema d’estudi que haja estat abordat amb el rigor que caldria esperar. El desenvolupament de les investigacions sobre el joc de pilota valenciana, en referir-nos a estudis de caràcter històric, són certament escasses i la mancança d’aquestes fonts d’informació encara s’escurça més en referir-nos als estudis històrics de caràcter local. Així, la nostra recerca intenta explorar quina va ser la realitat i l’evolució del joc de pilota al territori i, conseqüentment, recuperar la memòria històrica envers aquest fet cultural. La pregunta central, al voltant de la qual gira aquesta investigació, és la seg…
Synthesis and preliminary in vivo evaluation of well-dispersed biomimetic nanocrystalline apatites labeled with positron emission tomographic imaging…
2015
In recent years, biomimetic synthetic apatite nanoparticles (AP-NPs), having chemical similarity with the mineral phase of bone, have attracted a great interest in nanomedicine as potential drug carriers. To evaluate the therapeutic perspectives of AP-NPs through the mechanisms of action and organs they interact with, the noninvasive monitoring of their in vivo behavior is of paramount importance. To this aim, here the feasibility to radiolabel AP-NPs ("naked" and surface-modified with citrate to reduce their aggregation) with two positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging agents ([F-18]NaF and Ga-68-NO(2)AP(BP)) was investigated. [F-18]NaF was used for the direct incorporation of the radi…
Nitrous oxide emissions in a membrane bioreactor treating saline wastewater contaminated by hydrocarbons
2016
The joint effect of wastewater salinity and hydrocarbons on nitrous oxide emission was investigated. The membrane bioreactor pilot plant was operated with two phases: i. biomass acclimation by increasing salinity from 10 gNaCl L−1 to 20 gNaCl L−1 (Phase I); ii. hydrocarbons dosing at 20 mg L−1 with a constant salt concentration of 20 gNaCl L−1 (Phase II). The Phase I revealed a relationship between nitrous oxide emissions and salinity. During the end of the Phase I, the activity of nitrifiers started to recover, indicating a partial acclimatization. During the Phase II, the hydrocarbon shock induced a temporary inhibition of the biomass with the suppression of nitrous oxide emissions. The r…
Evolución de la información integrada en el mundo: análisis de sus primeras etapas de formulación
2017
La Información Integrada (IR), ha sido planteada como la concreción de toda la información de las organizaciones en un único documento, el cual debe ser preparado desde una perspectiva de sostenibilidad, y cuyo objetivo debe orientarse a informar acerca de la creación de valor por parte de las organizaciones (Eccles & Krzus, 2010). El objetivo de la IR es cubrir las crecientes demandas de transparencia e inclusión, por parte de todos los stakeholders de las organizaciones. Bajo el concepto de IR, se propone que los contenidos antes desplegados en distintos informes corporativos, ahora, no sólo se presenten juntos, sino que además sean pensados y producidos de manera integrada (Jensen & Berg…
Conseil d‘administration et gouvernance:une réflexion à partir du modèle des leviers de pilotage de Simons
2011
En s’inspirant de la littérature relevant du champ du contrôle de gestion, en particulier du modèle des leviers de pilotage (levers of control) proposé par Simons (1995), l’objectif de cet article est de montrer quel peut être l’apport du management control pour analyser le pilotage des dirigeants assuré par le conseil d’administration – c’est-à-dire leur gouvernance. Cette dernière emprunte simultanément trois voies correspondant aux grands courants de la gouvernance, les courants disciplinaire, cognitif et comportemental.
