Nopean painonpudotuksen vaikutukset kehon koostumukseen sekä neste- ja hormonitasapainoon kansallisen huipputason painijoilla
2007
Sarkkinen, Pasi 2007. Nopean painonpudotuksen vaikutukset kehon koostumukseen sekä neste- ja hormonitasapainoon kansallisen huipputason painijoilla. Liikuntabiologian laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto. Pro Gradu –tutkielma. Nopean ja suuren painonpudotuksen vaikutuksia urheilijan elimistöön on tutkittu verrattain vähän ja mahdollisia terveydellisiä riskejä ei ole juurikaan tiedostettu. Nopea painonpudotus on hyvin yleisesti käytetty menetelmä painoluokkalajeissa, kun normaalipaino ylittää kilpailusarjan. Painijoiden painon pudotus ala- ja keskisarjoissa on useimmiten 5-8 kg eli 8-12 % kehonpainosta. 18 tervettä suomalaista painijaa osallistui kreikkalais-roomalaisen tyylin SM-kilpailuihin (2004)…
Associations of nutrition and body composition with cardiovascular disease risk factors in soldiers during a 6-month deployment
2020
Objectives This observational follow-up study investigated the associations of nutrition and body composition with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, including pro-inflammatory biomarkers, in soldiers during a 6-month deployment. Material and Methods Thirty-five male soldiers were assessed at months 0, 3 and 6, and their parameters, i.e., M±SD, were as follows: age 30.0±8.7 years, height 179±6 cm, and BMI 24.2±2.5 kg/m 2 . Three-day food diaries were used for monitoring macronutrient intake. Body composition was estimated using bioimpedance. Fasting blood samples for lipids and pro-inflammatory biomarkers were collected, and blood pressure measurements were performed. Results Carboh…
Drivers, barriers and impacts of digitalisation in rural areas from the viewpoint of experts
2022
Abstract Context: The domain of rural areas, including rural communities, agriculture, and forestry, is going through a process of deep digital transformation. Digitalisation can have positive impacts on sustainability in terms of greater environmental control, and community prosperity. At the same time, it can also have disruptive effects, with the marginalisation of actors that cannot cope with the change. When developing a novel system for rural areas, requirements engineers should carefully consider the specific socio-economic characteristics of the domain, so that potential positive effects can be maximised, while mitigating negative impacts. Objective: The goal of this paper is to sup…
Measuring psychosocial stress with heart rate variability-based methods in different health and age groups
2022
Abstract Objective. Autonomic nervous system function and thereby bodily stress and recovery reactions may be assessed by wearable devices measuring heart rate (HR) and its variability (HRV). So far, the validity of HRV-based stress assessments has been mainly studied in healthy populations. In this study, we determined how psychosocial stress affects physiological and psychological stress responses in both young (18–30 years) and middle-aged (45–64 years) healthy individuals as well as in patients with arterial hypertension and/or either prior evidence of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. We also studied how an HRV-based stress index (Relax-Stress Intensity, RSI) relates to perceived stress …
Chronic Background Radiation Correlates With Sperm Swimming Endurance in Bank Voles From Chernobyl
2022
Sperm quantity and quality are key features explaining intra- and interspecific variation in male reproductive success. Spermatogenesis is sensitive to ionizing radiation and laboratory studies investigating acute effects of ionizing radiation have indeed found negative effects of radiation on sperm quantity and quality. In nature, levels of natural background radiation vary dramatically, and chronic effects of low-level background radiation exposure on spermatogenesis are poorly understood. The Chernobyl region offers a unique research opportunity for investigating effects of chronic low-level ionizing radiation on reproductive properties of wild organisms. We captured male bank voles (Myo…
Whether and How Social Work Could Address the Long-Term Socio-environmental Risks Caused by the Mining Industry in Northern Finland
2018
Despite underlining the importance of the commitment of states and international organizations, the discourse on human security is seldom explicit about who the actors or frontline workers are that operationalize the framework. One such group of practitioners that is possibly involved, but largely unacknowledged, is social workers, especially as social work as a discipline, profession and social movement has a value base and overall goals that are very similar to the human security approach. In social work, the categories of economic, food, environmental and community security fall within the discourse of human security, particularly with the currently evolving ecosocial (ecological/environ…
Effects of the European Monetary Union on High-Technology Exports
2021
AbstractOur study estimates the effects of the European Monetary Union (EMU) on high-technology (HT) export and assesses the potential knowledge spillovers of such trade. Irrespective of the importance of the HT trade channel, none of the previous studies in the literature focus on the effects of a common currency on HT trade. Increasing trade in the HT sector may lead to more efficient use of resources and help countries to move towards a knowledge-based economy. Moreover, it may lead to higher overall growth. After considering multilateral resistances, pair fixed effects and bias correction in the preferred (three-way bias-corrected) model, EMU membership becomes negative and statisticall…

Kielitutkinto ohjaa opetusta ja kannustaa puhumaan
2017
Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään vuosina 2003–2016 käytössä olleen kielitutkinnon vaikutuksia inkeriläisten paluumuuttajien paluumuuttovalmennukseen. Inkeriläisillä tarkoitan etnisiä suomalaisia, jotka ovat asuneet Venäjällä jo sukupolvien ajan. Voidakseen muuttaa Suomeen paluumuuttajastatuksen perusteella heidän piti suorittaa A2-tason kielitutkinto. Tutkimuksessa analysoin, kuinka opettajat kuvaavat tutkinnon vaikutusta opetukseensa. Opettajat työskentelivät Venäjällä ja opettivat suomea inkeriläisille, jotka aikoivat muuttaa Suomeen. Kurssin päätarkoituksena oli saavuttaa kielitutkinnossa vaadittu kielitaidon taso.Aineisto koostuu opettajien ja kielitutkintotyöryhmän asiantuntijoiden haas…
