"What is the color of English?" : representation of English in the language portraits of Sámi children
2010
Tutkimus on osa Jyväskylän yliopiston kielten laitoksen Pohjoinen monikielisyys - hanketta, jonka tavoitteena on tutkia monikielisyyttä Pohjoiskalotin alueella. Projektissa hyödynnetään sosiolingvistiikkaa, kriittistä diskurs-sintutkimusta ja etnografiaa. Tässä tutkimuksessa esiin nousevat mm. kielentäminen, heteroglossia ja kieli-politiikka. Lähtökohtana ovat henkilökohtaiset kielikokemukset, resurssit ja repertuaarit, ja niiden tutkiminen multimodaalisen aineiston avulla. Erityisen kiinnostuksen kohteena on yksittäisen kielen, englannin, esiin-tyminen aineistossa. Vastaavaa näkökulmaa samantyyppiseen aineistoon ei ole aiemmin hyödynnetty. Tutkimuksen aineisto koostuu neljäntoista 6-12 vuo…
Who enjoys listening to sad music and why?
2011
although people generally avoid negative emotional experiences in general, they often enjoy sadness portrayed in music and other arts. The present study investigated what kinds of subjective emotional experiences are induced in listeners by sad music, and whether the tendency to enjoy sad music is associated with particular personality traits. One hundred forty-eight participants listened to 16 music excerpts and rated their emotional responses. As expected, sadness was the most salient emotion experienced in response to sad excerpts. However, other more positive and complex emotions such as nostalgia, peacefulness, and wonder were also evident. Furthermore, two personality traits – Opennes…
Data from: The interplay of nested biotic interactions and the abiotic environment regulates populations of a hypersymbiont
2019
1. The role of biotic interactions in shaping distribution and abundance of species should be particularly pronounced in symbionts. Indeed, symbionts have a dual niche composed of traits of their individual hosts and the abiotic environment external to the host, and often combine active dispersal at finer scales with host-mediated dispersal at broader scales. The biotic complexity in the determinants of species distribution and abundance should be even more pronounced for hypersymbionts (symbionts of other symbionts). 2. We use a chain of symbiosis to explore the relative influence of nested biotic interactions and the abiotic environment on occupancy and abundance of a hypersymbiont. 3. Ou…
"The rules of the game": how to favor entrepreneurship and creativity in a non-capitalistic economy
2016
The economy, nowadays, is leading us toward a huge crisis. An environmental crisis, a new financial crisis and finally a war crisis. The aim of this paper is to propose a way to change our economy to favor a better perspective of the future. In order to promote this new economy, two suggestions are proposed: promote entrepreneurship and promote creativity within an economy that would aim at getting full employment and at avoiding any unethical action towards the environment. Several propositions are made about education, culture and economy to obtain sustainable changes in the economic landscape and in order to promote entrepreneurship in this fictive economy.

Individual mindfulness and objective performance. An experimental approach
2023
El interés por el mindfulness se debe a que parece tener un impacto positivo en el funcionamiento del ser humano (Brown et al., 2007). Así, diferentes estudios sugieren que el mindfulness es una herramienta para tratar diferentes trastornos psicológicos y físicos (Baer, 2003; Chiesa y Malinowski, 2011). En esta dirección, un creciente número de trabajos también sugieren que estos efectos positivos mencionados pueden extenderse al entorno organizacional (Hyland et al., 2015; Reb & Choi, 2014; Sutcliffe et al., 2016). Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios que se han centrado en analizar la relación entre mindfulness y el rendimiento individual (Dane, 2011). Esto puede explicarse por el hecho …
Teachers' self-efficacy and the sources of efficacy: A cross-cultural investigation in Japan and Finland
2019
The study explores the extent and sources of Teachers’ Self-Efficacy (TSE) for inclusive practices among 261 Japanese and 1123 Finnish teachers. Measurement invariance was tested to ensure the chosen scales’ cross-cultural validity. In both countries, mastery experience was identified as the strongest of the four sources contributing uniquely to TSE. However, the two groups differed in how verbal persuasion predicted TSE. The findings indicate that the effects of the four sources on TSE depend strongly on sociocultural context, and that, in Japan, other sources may exert a powerful influence. Practical implications are discussed, with particular regard to teacher training programs. peerRevi…
The Associations Between Leisure-Time Physical Activity and Academic Performance: A Twin Study
2021
Background: Both genetic and environmental influences have been shown to contribute to the association between physical activity and overall academic performance. The authors examined whether leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) shares genetic and environmental variances between spelling, essay writing, reading aloud, reading comprehension, and mathematics in early adolescence. Moreover, they investigated whether genetic polymorphisms associated with physical activity behavior affect these academic skills. Methods: Participants were 12-year-old Finnish twins (n = 4356–4370 twins/academic skill, 49% girls). Academic skills were assessed by teachers, and LTPA was self-reported. Polygenic sco…
The Role of Adolescents’ and Their Parents’ Temperament Types in Adolescents’ Academic Emotions: A Goodness-of-Fit Approach
2020
Abstract Background Academic emotions (e.g., enjoyment of learning or anxiety) play a significant role in academic performance and educational choices. An important factor explaining academic emotions can be students’ temperament and the goodness-of-fit between their temperament and their social environment, including parents. Objective This study investigated the unique and interactive effects of early adolescents’ and their parents’ temperament types on adolescents’ academic emotions in literacy and mathematics. Method The participants in the study consisted of 690 adolescent–parent dyads. Parents rated their own and their adolescents’ temperaments, and adolescents reported their positive…
Investigation of Coating Impact on OFDR Optical Remote Fiber-Based Sensors Performances for Their Integration in High Temperature and Radiation Envir…
2016
The response of optical frequency-domain reflectometry-based temperature sensors is here investigated in harsh environments (high temperature, high radiation dose) focusing the attention on the impact of the fiber coating on the sensor performances in such conditions. Our results demonstrate that the various coating types evolve differently under thermal treatment and/or radiations, resulting in a small (<5%) change in the temperature coefficient of the sensor. The identified procedure, consisting of a prethermal treatment of the fiber at its maximum coating operating temperature, is here verified up to 150 °C for higherature acrylate and up to 300 °C for polyamide coating. This method allo…
