Alkiolaisuus nykypäivän nuorisoseurakasvatuksessa
2012
Tutkimuksessa selvitetään suomalaisten nuorisoseuratoimijoiden itsensä esittämää kysymystä siitä, toteutuvatko alkiolaiset nuorisoseuraihanteet nykyisessä nuorisoseuratoiminnassa. Ensimmäiset nuorisoseurat hakivat muotoaan 1900-luvun taitteessa, jolloin Santeri Alkio muotoili puuhamiehenä aatteen suuntaviivoja. Alkio pyrki kohottamaan nuorisoseurojen avulla alimpien kansankerrosten nuorison sivistystasoa ja tietoisuutta omasta yhteiskunnallisesta tilastaan. Tätä päämäärää kohti hän lähti kulkemaan nuorisoseuroissa toteutettavan itsekasvatuksen idean avulla. Alkion tuolloin nuorisoseurakasvatukselle asettamat tavoitteet muodostavat tutkimuksen ideologisen pohjan. Tutkielma käsittelee kahta t…
On the Difference Between Necessary and Unnecessary Glances Away From the Forward Roadway : An Occlusion Study on the Motorway
2019
Objective The present study strove to distinguish traffic-related glances away from the forward roadway from non-traffic-related glances while assessing the minimum amount of visual information intake necessary for safe driving in particular scenarios. Background Published gaze-based distraction detection algorithms and guidelines for distraction prevention essentially measure the time spent looking away from the forward roadway, without incorporating situation-based attentional requirements. Incorporating situation-based attentional requirements would entail an approach that not only considers the time spent looking elsewhere but also checks whether all necessary information has been sampl…
Telia Crowd Insights -tietojen hyödyntäminen pandemiatietoisuuden parantamiseksi Keski-Suomessa
2021
Telia Crowd Insights -tietojen hyödyntäminen pandemiatietoisuuden parantamiseksi KeskiSuomessa on Keski-Suomen liiton rahoittama hanke, jolla pyritään selvittämään, että pystytäänkö ihmisten ja ihmisvirtojen liikkeitä seuraamalla saavuttamaan parempi tilannekuva pandemia tilanteessa. Hankkeen tarkoituksena on keskittyä erilaisiin liikenteenseurantaratkaisuihin sekä tutkia koronaviruksen aiheuttamia vaikutuksia maakunnassa tapahtuvaan liikenteeseen ja liikkumiseen. Keväällä 2020 tuli voimaan poikkeukselliset olosuhteet, joiden takia liikenne muuttui merkittävästi erilaisten rajoitusten ja yleisen varovaisuuden vuoksi. Tämä on yksi merkittävimmistä ilmiöistä, joita projektissa pyritään tutkim…
Cancer Prevention with Resistant Starch in Lynch Syndrome Patients in the CAPP2-Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial : Planned 10-Year Follow-up
2022
Abstract The CAPP2 trial investigated the long-term effects of aspirin and resistant starch on cancer incidence in patients with Lynch syndrome (LS). Participants with LS were randomized double-blind to 30 g resistant starch (RS) daily or placebo for up to 4 years. We present long-term cancer outcomes based on the planned 10-year follow-up from recruitment, supplemented by National Cancer Registry data to 20 years in England, Wales, and Finland. Overall, 463 participants received RS and 455 participants received placebo. After up to 20 years follow-up, there was no difference in colorectal cancer incidence (n = 52 diagnosed with colorectal cancer among those randomized to RS against n = 53…
Physical Activity Is Related with Cartilage Quality in Women with Knee Osteoarthritis
2017
Purpose To study the relationship between 12-month leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) level and changes in estimated biochemical composition of tibiofemoral cartilage in postmenopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Originally, 87 volunteer postmenopausal women, age 60 to 68 yr, with mild knee OA (Kellgren Lawrence I/II and knee pain) participated in a randomized controlled, 4-month aquatic training trial (RCT), after which 76 completed the 12-month postintervention follow-up period. Self-reported LTPA was collected along the 12-month period using a diary from which MET task hours per month were calculated. Participants were divided into MET task hour tertiles: 1, lowe…
Professional vision of Grade 1 teachers experiencing different levels of work-related stress
2022
This study explored teachers' professional vision by examining how teachers experiencing low, moderate and high work-related stress reason their eye-tracking recordings in terms of description, explanation and prediction. A qualitative analysis of retrospective think-aloud interviews with 24 Grade 1 teachers showed that teachers predominantly used description in their reasoning, while explanation and prediction were less frequent. The description mainly focused on teacher information/elaboration and classroom management/behaviour. Teachers with moderate stress utilised self-reflection most frequently, whereas teachers with high stress utilised it the least. The results suggest that the leve…
Physical Activity Tracker Application in Promoting Physical Activity Behavior among Older Adults : A 24-month Follow-Up Study
2022
Objectives To investigate whether and how PA tracker application use supports PA behavior among older adults during the first 24 months of use. Methods: The changes in PA levels (i.e., time spent in different PA intensities) and between PA categories (i.e., low, moderate, or high based on total PA) were examined between three different time points: before taking the application into use (t0), after 12 months of use (t1), and after 24 months of use (t2). The data was collected by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire modified for the elderly (IPAQ-E). Results: A statistically significant increase was observed in walking (χ2 (2) = 29.741, p < .001), moderate PA (χ2 (2) =…
Synchronizing eye tracking and optical motion capture : How to bring them together
2018
Both eye tracking and motion capture technologies are nowadays frequently used in human sciences, although both technologies are usually used separately. However, measuring both eye and body movements simultaneously would offer great potential for investigating cross- modal interaction in human (e.g. music and language-related) behavior. Here we combined an Ergoneers Dikablis head mounted eye tracker with a Qualisys Oqus optical motion cap- ture system. In order to synchronize the recordings of both devices, we developed a gener- alizable solution that does not rely on any (cost-intensive) ready-made / company-provided synchronization solution. At the beginning of each recording, the partic…
Sixth graders’ evaluation strategies when reading Internet search results : an eye-tracking study
2018
Eye-tracking technology was used to examine Internet search result evaluation strategies adopted by sixth-grade students (N = 36) during ten experimental information search tasks. The relevancy of the search result’s title, URL, and snippet components was manipulated and selection of search results as well as looking into probabilities on the search result components was analysed. The results revealed that during first-pass inspection, students read the search engine page by first looking at the title of a search result. If the title was relevant, the probability of looking at the snippet of the search result increased. During second-pass inspection, there was a high probability of students…
Effect of a social intervention of choice vs. control on depressive symptoms, melancholy, feeling of loneliness, and perceived togetherness in older …
2016
Objectives: This study examined effects of a social intervention on depressive symptoms, melancholy, loneliness, and perceived togetherness in community-dwelling Finnish older people. Method: Promotion of mental well-being in older people (GoodMood; ISRCTN78426775) was a single-blinded randomized control trial lasting 1.5 years. Two hundred and twenty-three persons aged 75–79 years reporting symptoms of loneliness or melancholy were randomized into intervention and control groups. The intervention group was allowed to choose among supervised exercise, social activity, or personal counseling. Follow-up measurements were conducted at the end of 6-month intervention, and at 3, 6, and 12 months…
