Kitkan vesiltä Pohjanlahden sahoille : Akanlahden tukinsiirtolaitokset 1893–1929
2011
1800-luvun jälkipuoliskolla puun kysyntä kasvoi ja kilpailu kiristyi, joten sahojen hankinta-alueet ulotettiin niin kauas kuin se vesistöjä myöten oli mahdollista. Yleensä rajat tulivat vastaan viimeistään vedenjakajan luona, mutta joissain tapauksissa ongelma ratkaistiin tukinsiirtolaitoksen avulla. Näin tehtiin myös Vienanmereen virtaavilla Kitkajärvillä, joista vuonna 1893 alettiin siirtää konevoimin tukkeja kapean kannaksen yli Iijoen vesistöön ja edelleen Pohjanlahdelle. Myöhemmin Akanlahdelle rakennettiin vielä kaksi muuta siirtolaitosta. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää Akanlahden kahden ensimmäisen tukinsiirtolaitoksen toiminta vuosina 1893–1929. Näkökulma on ensisijaisesti mi…
Katekeettakoulusta täydelliseen kansakouluun : Kuusamon kansakouluverkon laajeneminen Lapin sodan jälkeen vuosina 1945 - 1955
2012
Pro gradu -tutkielmani käsittelee Kuusamon kansakouluverkon rakentamista Lapin sodan jälkeisinä vuosina 1945–1955. Kuusamo koki viime sodissa suuret sotatuhot, joten sotien päätyttyä kunnassa alkoi mittava jälleenrakentaminen. Sotien jälkeen Kuusamossa ei ollut yhtään koulutaloa, joka ei olisi kokenut jonkin asteisia sotavaurioita, joten kunnan kansakouluverkkoa jouduttiin rakentamaan lähes tyhjältä pohjalta. Tarkastelen pro gradussani, miten kansakouluverkko jälleenrakennettiin ja miten sitä laajennettiin jokaisen lapsen ulottuville Kuusamossa. Kuusamo kuului Suomen harvaan asutuimpiin ja köyhimpiin kuntiin, joten ennen sotia kaikki kuusamolaiset lapset kattavaa kansakouluverkko ei toiminu…
The Clip Approach : A Visual Methodology to Support the (Re)Construction of Life Narratives
2021
Major life changes may cause an autobiographical rupture and a need to work on one’s narrative identity. This article introduces a new qualitative interview methodology originally developed to facilitate 10 prostate cancer patients and five spouses in the (re)creation of their life narratives in the context of a series of interventive interviews conducted over a timespan of several months. In “The Clip Approach” the interviewees’ words, phrases, and metaphors are reflected back in a physical form (“the Clips”) as visual artifacts that allow the interviewees to re-enter and re-consider their experience and life and re-construct their narratives concerning them. Honoring the interviewees as …
Naturalistic music and dance: Cortical phase synchrony in musicians and dancers
2018
Expertise in music has been investigated for decades and the results have been applied not only in composition, performance and music education, but also in understanding brain plasticity in a larger context. Several studies have revealed a strong connection between auditory and motor processes and listening to and performing music, and music imagination. Recently, as a logical next step in music and movement, the cognitive and affective neuro-sciences have been directed towards expertise in dance. To understand the versatile and overlapping processes during artistic stimuli, such as music and dance, it is necessary to study them with continuous naturalistic stimuli. Thus, we used long exce…
Minimal clinically important difference and minimal detectable change of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0…
2020
Objectives: The aim of this study is to estimate a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and a minimal detectable change (MDC) of the 12-item WHODAS 2.0 amongst patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Design: Cross-sectional cohort study. Setting: Outpatient Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine clinic. Subjects: A total of 1988 consecutive patients with musculoskeletal pain. Interventions: A distribution-based approach was employed to estimate a minimal clinically important difference, a minimal detectable change, and a minimal detectable percent change (MDC%). Results: The mean age of the patients was 48 years, and 65% were women. The average intensity of pain was 6,3 (2.0) po…
Social support as a mediator between problem behaviour and gambling: a cross-sectional study among 14–16-year-old Finnish adolescents
2016
Background: During the adolescent period, risktaking behaviour increases. These behaviours can compromise the successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. The purpose of this study was to examine social support as a mediator of the relation between problem behaviour and gambling frequency among Finnish adolescents. Methods: Data were obtained from the national School Health Promotion Study (SHPS) from the years 2010 and 2011 (N=102 545). Adolescents were classified in the most homogeneous groups based on their problem behaviour via latent class analysis.Results: Path analysis indicated that social support was negatively associated with problem behaviour, and problem behaviour and so…
Living alone vs. living with someone as a predictor of mortality after a bone fracture in older age
2020
Abstract Background Living alone is a risk factor for health decline in old age, especially when facing adverse events increasing vulnerability. Aim We examined whether living alone is associated with higher post-fracture mortality risk. Methods Participants were 190 men and 409 women aged 75 or 80 years at baseline. Subsequent fracture incidence and mortality were followed up for 15 years. Extended Cox regression analysis was used to compare the associations between living arrangements and mortality risk during the first post-fracture year and during the non-fracture time. All participants contributed to the non-fracture state until a fracture occurred or until death/end of follow-up if th…
Immediate effects of wearing knee length socks differing in compression level on postural regulation in community-dwelling, healthy, elderly men and …
2018
Background Stimulation of lower limbs’ cutaneous receptors and mechanoreceptors through compression garments could potentially increase somatosensory system efficiency and aid postural regulation in elderly individuals. Research question This study examined immediate effects of wearing knee length socks (KLS) of various compression levels on somatosensory function in community-dwelling healthy elderly men and women during a double-limb standing, balancing task. Methods A total of forty-six elderly participants (Male = 23), aged between 65 and 84 years old, randomly selected from the Singapore community-dwelling, healthy population. Three treatment interventions (wearing clinical compression…
NAUTILUS Navigator : free search interactive multiobjective optimization without trading-off
2019
We propose a novel combination of an interactive multiobjective navigation method and a trade-off free way of asking and presenting preference information. The NAUTILUS Navigator is a method that enables the decision maker (DM) to navigate in real time from an inferior solution to the most preferred solution by gaining in all objectives simultaneously as (s)he approaches the Pareto optimal front. This means that, while the DM reaches her/his most preferred solution, (s)he avoids anchoring around the starting solution and, at the same time, sees how the ranges of the reachable objective function values shrink without trading-off. The progress of the motion towards the Pareto optimal front is…
The price of multiobjective robustness : Analyzing solution sets to uncertain multiobjective problems
2021
Defining and finding robust efficient solutions to uncertain multiobjective optimization problems has been an issue of growing interest recently. Different concepts have been published defining what a “robust efficient” solution is. Each of these concepts leads to a different set of solutions, but it is difficult to visualize and understand the differences between these sets. In this paper we develop an approach for comparing such sets of robust efficient solutions, namely we analyze their outcomes under the nominal scenario and in the worst case using the upper set-less order from set-valued optimization. Analyzing the set of nominal efficient solutions, the set of minmax robust efficient …
