Aineeton pääoma tuotantovarallisuutena luovien alojen perheyrityksissä
2012
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin aineetonta pääomaa tuotantovarallisuutena luovien alojen perheyrityksissä. Aineeton omaisuus voi muodostaa yrityksen keskeisen kilpailukyvyn, mutta sitä voi olla esimerkiksi rahoittajan näkökulmasta vaikea määritellä vakuudeksi. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena olikin selvittää kuinka yrittäjät näkevät aineettoman pääoman yrityksessään ja kuinka aineettoman pääoman arvo käytännössä määritetään. Lisäksi tutkimusmielenkiinnon kohteena oli asymmetria käytännössä ja aineettoman pääoman merkitys erityisesti perheyrityksessä. Tutkimus on tehty laadullisella tutkimusotteella, koska aineettoman pääoman tul- kintoja ja merkitystä yri…
A test of the effort equalization hypothesis in children with cerebral palsy who have an asymmetric gait.
2022
Healthy people can walk nearly effortlessly thanks to their instinctively adaptive gait patterns that tend to minimize metabolic energy consumption. However, the economy of gait is severely impaired in many neurological disorders such as stroke or cerebral palsy (CP). Moreover, self-selected asymmetry of impaired gait does not seem to unequivocally coincide with the minimal energy cost, suggesting the presence of other adaptive origins. Here, we used hemiparetic CP gait as a model to test the hypothesis that pathological asymmetric gait patterns are chosen to equalize the relative muscle efforts between the affected and unaffected limbs. We determined the relative muscle efforts for the ank…
Primordial dark matter from curvature induced symmetry breaking
2020
We demonstrate that adiabatic dark matter can be generated by gravity induced symmetry breaking during inflation. We study a $Z_2$ symmetric scalar singlet that couples to other fields only through gravity and for which the symmetry is broken by the spacetime curvature during inflation when the non-minimal coupling $\xi$ is negative. We find that the symmetry breaking leads to the formation of adiabatic dark matter with the observed abundance for the singlet mass $m\sim{\rm MeV}$ and $|\xi|\sim 1$.
High-energy evolution to three loops
2018
The Balitsky-Kovchegov equation describes the high-energy growth of gauge theory scattering amplitudes as well as nonlinear saturation effects which stop it. We obtain the three-loop corrections to this equation in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. Our method exploits a recently established equivalence with the physics of soft wide-angle radiation, so-called non-global logarithms, and thus yields at the same time the three-loop evolution equation for non-global logarithms. As a by-product of our analysis, we develop a Lorentz-covariant method to subtract infrared and collinear divergences in cross-section calculations in the planar limit. We compare our result in the linear re…
Neutriinojen sekoitusmatriisin Majorana-vaiheet
2013
Lukuisat hiukkasfysiikan kokeet ovat vahvistaneet neutriinojen olevan massallisia hiukkasia ja kykenevän muuttumaan neutriinotyypistä toiseen. Tätä niin kutsuttua neutriino-oskillaatiota parametrisoi neutriinojen sekoitusmatriisi, jota puolestaan parametrisoi kolmen sekoituskulman lisäksi yksi tai kolme CP-symmetriaa rikkovaa vaihetta riippuen siitä ovatko neutriinot Dirac- tai Majorana-hiukkasia. Tässä työssä tarkasteltiin edellä mainittujen Dirac- ja Majorana-vaiheiden merkitystä neutriino-oskillaatioissa, neutriinonottomassa kaksoisbeetahajoamisessa, Higgsin triplettimallissa ja baryoniepäsymmetrian synnyttäneessä leptonigeneesissä. Neutriino-oskillaation tarkastelua varten johdettiin ne…
Asymmetries in reproductive anatomy : insights from promiscuous songbirds
2019
Directional asymmetry in gonad size is commonly observed in vertebrates and is particularly pronounced in birds, where the left testis is frequently larger than the right. The adaptive significance of directional asymmetry in testis size is poorly understood, and whether it extends beyond the testes (i.e. side-correspondent asymmetry along the reproductive tract) has rarely been considered. Using the Maluridae, a songbird family exhibiting variation in levels of sperm competition and directional testis asymmetry, yet similar in ecology and life history, we investigated the relative roles of side-correspondence and sperm competition on male reproductive tract asymmetry at both inter- and int…
Transversus abdominis and multifidus asymmetry in runners measured by MRI: a cross-sectional study
2019
ObjectiveThe transversus abdominis muscle (TrA) is active during running as a secondary respiratory muscle and acts, together with the multifidus, as trunk stabiliser. The purpose of this study was to determine size and symmetry of TrA and multifidus muscles at rest and with contraction in endurance runners without low back pain.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingA medical imaging centre in Melbourne, Australia.ParticipantsThirty middle-aged (43years±7) endurance-trained male (n=18) and female (n=12) runners without current or history of low back pain.Outcome measuresMRI at rest and with the core engaged. The TrA and multifidus muscles were measured for thickness and length (TrA) and antero…
Synthesis of C2-Symmetrical Bis-(β-Enamino-Pyran-2,4-dione) Derivative Linked via 1,6-Hexylene Spacer: X-ray Crystal Structures, Hishfeld Studies and…
2021
The synthesis of C2-symmetrical bis(β-enamino-pyran-2,4-dione) derivative 3 connected via 1,6-hexylene linker was reported for the first time. X-ray structures and Hirshfeld studies of the new bis- β-enamino-pyran-2,4-dione derivative 3 along with two structurally related pyran-2,4-dione derivatives 2a,b were discussed. A comparative analysis of the different intermolecular contacts affecting the crystal stability was presented. Generally, the H…H, O…H, and H…C interactions are common in all compounds and are considered the most abundant contacts. In addition, DFT calculations were used to compute the electronic properties as well as the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the studied systems. All co…
Wittgenstein’s “Inner and Outer”: Overcoming Epistemic Asymmetry
2013
In this article, I identify three ways in which Wittgenstein opposed an idea of epistemic asymmetry between the first person and the secondor-third person. Examining the questions of 1) absence of doubt about my own experience and uncertainty about the experiences of others, 2) ineffability of subjective experience and 3) immediacy of my knowledge of my own experience contrasted with my merely inferential knowledge about the experiences of others, I see Wittgenstein’s remarks about “inner and outer” as a many-faceted denial of the claim that people’s minds are in some deep way unknowable to others. These considerations also serve to clarify Wittgenstein’s relation to behaviorism. 1. Wittgen…
