Orienteering : a journey from the deep forest to the Finns' living rooms, an overview of the orienteering as a sport from 2000 to 2015 in Finland
2017
Orienteering is a sport which has its roots in the early 20th century. Academic research of the development of orienteering has mostly concentrated on the decades of the 20th century. Recently there has not been conducted a thorough research of the evolvement of the Finnish orienteering, even though the both orienteering and the Finnish sport and physical culture, have faced new challenges and changes in the form of technological developments and transformation of the society. The purpose of this research was to determine and describe the possible changes in the Finnish orienteering during 2000-2015. Furthermore, the factors behind these possible changes were illustrated. The data was colle…
Kindergarten teachers’ accounts of their developing mathematical practice
2012
Published version of an article in the journal: ZDM. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11858-012-0422-1 This study explores kindergarten teachers’ accounts of their developing mathematical practice in the context of their participation in a developmental research project. Observations and interviews were analysed to elaborate the accounts as regards orchestrating mathematical activities in the kindergarten. A co-learning agreement was established as collaboration between the kindergarten teachers and researchers. The study reveals that the kindergarten teachers argue that they have been empowered in developing an inquiry stance towards mathematics and mathemat…
Revisiting the didactic triangle: from the particular to the general
2012
Published version of an article in the journal: ZDM. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.springerlink.com/content/61p78l089tnx8rn5/ The basic notion of a didactic triangle is explained with historical annotations on its origins and subsequent theorization in the literature. Instances of its application to classroom environments to demonstrate its representational capabilities are presented. Generalizations of the triangle are proposed that integrate the role of technology, the researcher in mathematics teaching developmental research, and mediating complexes in the student–teacher–content interfaces. Further, the use of the didactic triangle as a heuristic device is also discus…
Mobilization of short-term memory capacity for odors in discriminative tests: implication for assessors' selection
2004
Abstract The objective was to determine whether individual short-term memory capacities for odor are related to performance at discriminative tests. Two groups of 11 subjects were formed with different short-term memory for odor but equivalent sensitivity toward benzaldehyde, the aromatic compound to be detected in discriminative tests. The subject sensitivity was determined by d ′ values, derived from a detection task. Memory span for odors was the largest number of odors memorized at once. It ranged from 1 to 3 for the low memory span group and from 5 to 7 for the high memory span group. Then, subjects performed 20 triangle tests and 12 2-out-of-5 tests with two strawberry flavored soft d…
Dynamical Hadrons: Case Studies of Meson-Meson and Meson-Baryon Molecules and Triangle Singularities
2020
In this thesis we use various methods to study the interaction of hadrons. We focus on topics related to exotic hadrons, such as tetraquarks from meson-meson interaction, pentaquarks from meson-baryon, and also triangular singularities. We show how experimental data can be explained with our theoretical models, and make predictions that can be compared with future experiments. In chapter 1 we show our method to describe meson-meson interactions, known as chiral unitary approach, showing how the interaction of pseudoscalars generates the f0(500), f0(980) and a0(980), which appear in the two articles discussed in this chapter: that of the eta_c -> eta pi+ pi- decay, and that of the a0(980)-f0…
Knowledge Management in the Project Life Cycle - Initial Research on Polish Smes
2014
Abstract Contemporary organizations run their activities in an environment, which might be defined as fully uncertain and turbulent. Due to variations that occur in the surrounding environment, an increased attention of management practitioners and theoreticians is paid to new management concepts frequently in an integrated version. The authors express a deep belief that consolidation of approaches to project management and knowledge management constitutes a response to challenge for modern organizations. Research into the issue was based on an attempt to determine significance of the knowledge management issue in a life of projects performed by Polish small and medium-sized enterprises (SM…
Les modalités linguistiques du commentaire sur internet comme prise de position ("stance-taking"): l'exemple des commentaires sur YouTube
2015
International audience; Sur Internet, le commentaire est par essence un lieu argumentatif. Réagir à un article, une vidéo, une image ou à n’importe quelle prise de parole, est l’occasion pour l’utilisateur du Web 2.0 de donner son opinion, de contredire, confirmer, infirmer, interpeller, dénoncer, c’est-à-dire dans tous les cas prendre position. En effet, comme l’écrivent David Barton et Carmen Lee dans Language Online : Investigating Digital Texts and Practices, commenter est un acte qui consiste à se positionner et positionner les autres, c’est-à-dire une véritable prise de position (« Commenting is an important act of positioning oneself and others, that is stance-taking », Barton et Lee…
Hypovitaminosis D, oral potentially malignant disorders, and oral squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review
2021
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and potentially malignant oral disorders (OPMDs) could be associated with low levels of vitamin D. This systematic review aimed to determine the relationship between serum levels of vitamin D with OPMDs and OSCC. This review was conducted according to Cochrane guidelines (PROSPERO CRD42020207382) on literature retrieved from the PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases. The antecedents extracted were study design, methodology, sample (country, number of patients, age, and sex), oral manifestations (type of lesion, location, prevalence, and follow-up), serum vitamin D levels or use of vitamin D supplements, results, and conclusions. Twelve articles w…
Autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia – similarities between the two disorders with a case report of a patient with dual diagnosis
2023
This paper presents the genetic, molecular and neuroanatomical similarities between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia using the case report of a 34-year-old female patient with a previous diagnosis of schizophrenia as an example. As a result of repeat hospitalization, expanded history, psychological testing and verification of persistent symptoms of psychopathology, a cooccurring diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder was made.
