"Tulin kuntoutumaan, en olemaan..." : nuori mielenterveyskuntoutuja tehostetussa palveluasumisessa - kokemuksia marginaalisuudesta ja köyhyydestä
2015
Tutkimus tuottaa tietoa marginaalisuudesta ja köyhyydestä tehostetussa palveluasumisessa nuorten mielenterveyskuntoutujien kokemana. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen viitekehys käsittelee asumispalveluja, marginaalisuutta, köyhyyttä ja stigmaa. Tutkimuksen aineisto koos- tuu kymmenen, iältään 19–32-vuotiaan, nuoren haastatteluista. Haastattelut suoritettiin toistettuna teemahaastatteluna, jolloin jokainen nuori tavattiin kaksi kertaa. Haastateltaviksi valikoituivat vaikeaa mielenterveydenhäiriötä sairastavat nuoret. Laadullisen tutkimuksen aineiston analysointimenetelmä on aineistolähtöinen sisällönanalyysi. Tulokset on käsitelty kolmen pääluokan kautta: palvelukoti nuorten elämän turvaajana, palve…
Is There a Need for New Marketing Communications Performance Metrics for Social Media?
2011
The objective of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework for measuring the effectiveness of social media marketing communications. With recent advances in information and communications technology, especially in social collaboration technologies, both academics and practitioners rethink whether the existing marketing communications performance metrics are still valid in the changing communications landscape, or is it time to devise entirely new metrics for measuring marketing communications performance. The study emphasizes that marketing communications performance measurement metrics have developed towards a customer orientation. The findings further indicate that a) there is no br…
Relationship between physical activity and predicted home presenteeism among participants with depressive symptoms with and without clinical depressi…
2021
Background and objectives Depression can pose a major threat to an individual’s ability to cope with daily activities. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between physical activity (PA) and predicted home presenteeism (PHP) among depressive participants. The relationship between PHP and the severity of depressive symptoms was also investigated. Methods A total of 760 participants with depressive symptoms (DS) aged ≥35 years participated in this study. The study was conducted between 2008 and 2016 in municipalities within the Central Finland Hospital District. DS were determined with the 21-item Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-21) with a cutoff score ≥10, and psychiatric dia…
An off-line ion guide quadrupole mass spectrometer system
2017
Off-line ioniohjain kvadrupolimassaspektrometri systeemi. Uuden erillisen ioniohjain-kvadrupolimassaspektrometri (IGQMS) -systeemin käyttöönotto on esitetty tässä työssä. Laitteisto on kehitetty uusien tekniikoiden testaamiseen ja kehittämiseen IGISOL–laitoksella. Työssä on tutkittu laitteiston differentiaalista pumpaussysteemiä ja laitteiston etuosan kuljetustehokkuutta käyttäen 223Ra alfa-rekyylilähdettä. Painemittausten tulokset eri parametreilla ovat esitetty. Kaasuohjaimen käyttöpainealue on mitattu olevan 1 ja 700 mbar:n välillä pitäen käyttöpaineen QMS kammiossa, ja skimmer-systeemin läpäisytehokkuus olevan lähellä 100 %. The commissioning of a new off-line ion guide quadrupole mass …
State Sovereignty: Balancing Effectiveness and Legality/Legitimacy
2018
This chapter aims to examine one of the most interesting topics in the contemporary internationalist debate, namely the crisis of effectiveness as the ultimate or sufficient criterion for achieving statehood and territorial sovereignty. Since the 1970s the perception that international law can no longer accept social reality as it is but promotes and imposes standards of justice and common values has become increasingly widespread. More recently, the ensuing discussion between realists and legalists emerged as one of the central topics addressed within the framework of the advisory procedure concerning Kosovo’s declaration of independence. By discussing and critically appraising the normati…
Do key audit matters (KAMs) matter? : Auditors’ perceptions of KAMs and audit quality in Finland
2021
Purpose Key audit matters (KAMs) in International Standard for Auditing, 701 seek to enhance the value of the auditor’s report by increasing the transparency of how the audit was performed. The purpose of this study is to investigate how professional auditors themselves perceive the impact of KAMs on audit quality and audit effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach Statistical analyses of an electronic survey of certified public auditors (CPAs) in Finland. Findings Regarding the perceptions of KAMs, the authors found two dominant views on auditing: quality and efficiency. In general, the respondents did not consider that KAMs improve audit quality. However, auditors focusing on efficiency…
Leg extension power asymmetry and mobility limitation in healthy older women
2005
Objective To investigate the association of asymmetry in leg extension power (LEP) with walking and standing balance. Design Cross-sectional analysis. Setting Research laboratory. Participants Healthy female twins (N=419), ages 63 to 75 years. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures The LEP difference between the stronger and the weaker leg, measured with the Nottingham power rig, was calculated. Ten-meter maximal walking velocity was assessed in a laboratory corridor on a wide (170cm) and narrow (35cm) track, and the ability to maintain tandem stance for 20 seconds was recorded. Results The mean LEP difference ± standard deviation between the legs was 15%±9% (P<.001). Those wit…
Effects of Home-Based Physical Exercise on Days at Home and Cost-Effectiveness in Pre-Frail and Frail Persons: Randomized Controlled Trial.
2021
Objectives: Frailty increases the risks of hospitalization, institutionalization, and death. Our objective was to study the effects of home-based physical exercise on the number of days spent at home among pre frail and frail persons, versus usual care. In addition, utilization and costs of health care and social services, cost-effectiveness, and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) were explored. Design: Randomized controlled trial, with year-long supervised exercise for 60 minutes twice a week versus usual care. Follow-up for 24 months after randomization. Setting and Participants: A sample of 299 home-dwelling persons in South Karelia, Finland. Main inclusion criteria: >65 years, meeti…
Painonnostovyön vaikutus mekaanisen tehon tuottoon ja emg-aktiivisuuteen jalkakyykyssä
2015
Nopeusvoimaharjoittelulla pyritään kehittämään urheilijan kykyä tuottaa maksimaalisen paljon voimaa mahdollisimman lyhyessä ajassa. Tätä voiman ja voimantuottonopeuden yhteyttä ilmaistaan mekaanisella teholla. Harjoittelun kannalta olisi olennaista pyrkiä kehittämään mekaanista tehoa ja kyetä siirtämään tämä varsinaiseen lajisuoritukseen. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia painonnostovyön vaikutuksia mekaanisen tehon tuottoon sekä päävaikuttaja- että tukilihasten EMG -aktiivisuuden muutoksiin nopeusvoima periaatteella suoritetussa jalkakyykkykuormituksessa. Tutkimukseen osallistui 12, 21–25-vuotiasta miestä, lajitaustoiltaan pääasiassa palloilijoita tai voimaharjoittelijoita. Tutkit…
Trade-offs among intensive forestry, ecosystem services and biodiversity in boreal forests
2018
Finnish forests are used extensively for timber production but are also providers of other ecosystem services and harbor unique biodiversity. The ecosystem services approach has so far been used marginally in the context of Finnish forestry; however, due to the multiple values associated with Finnish forests and the impacts forestry operations have on forest ecosystems, it is clearly applicable in this context. In this thesis, I studied the occurrence and severity of trade-offs among ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation in Finnish forests. I used forest inventory data, forest growth simulations, and multi-objective optimization to reveal how the severity of the trade-offs varies…
