The role of age and life course stage in digital consumption
2018
Digital technologies are an inherent part of consumer environments today. This dissertation investigates older adults’ usage of digital technologies by focusing on the role of age and life course stage in digital consumption in Finland. The dissertation applies theories of technology adoption and use, generations, and life course to examine older adults as digital consumers, the interrelationship between consumption and digital technologies and the effects of age and life course stage on digital consumption. The study utilises both quantitative and qualitative data from five (5) data sets. The results reveal that between the years 1999 and 2014, older adults reported more ecological and les…
Digitalisaation vaikutukset yksilön kuluttajakäyttäytymiseen
2018
Digitalisaatio on integroitunut osaksi kaikkea nyky-yhteiskunnissa, ainakin län-simaissa, eikä kulutusympäristö ole poikkeus. Muuttuva kulutusympäristö asettaa uusia haasteita niin yksilöille, kuin organisaatioillekin käynnissä olevan digitaalisen muutoksen aikana. Muutokset ovat nopeita ja laajoja. Teknologia sekä niiden sovellukset kehittyvät ennennäkemättömällä vauhdilla, joka johtaa myös tuotteiden ja palveluiden nopeaan kehittymiseen sekä uusien ideoiden ja konseptien syntymiseen. Tämä tutkimus pyrkii selvittämään, mitkä ovat digi-talisaation merkittävämpiä muutoksia yksilön kuluttajakäyttäytymiselle ja tar-kastelemaan niiden merkittävyyttä. Tutkimus toteutettiin kirjallisuuskatsauk-se…
Tehtaan varjosta uusiokäytön valoon : Mikkelin Graani - entisestä teollisuusalueesta palveluiden ja asumisen kaupunkiympäristöksi
2017
Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan Mikkelin Tuppuralan kaupunginosan Graanin alueen muutosta entisestä teollisuusalueesta asumisen ja palveluiden kaupunkiympäristöksi. Tutkielman aikajänne alkaa vuodesta 1986, jolloin alueella toiminut mekaanisen metsäteollisuuden yritys, Oy Grahn Ltd, ajautui konkurssiin ja alue vapautui uusiokäytölle. Käsittelyssä huomioidaan deindustrialisaation ja jälkiteollisen yhteiskunnan aiheuttamat monisäikeiset vaikutukset sekä viime vuosikymmenten lähihistoriallisia tapahtumia, jotka ovat vaikuttaneet ratkaisevasti alueen kehitykseen. Tutkimuksen analyysi perustuu tutkimuskirjallisuuden kautta luotuun katsaukseen teollisuusalueiden uusiokäyttömuodoista, sekä entist…
Visual Distraction Effects between In-Vehicle Tasks with a Smartphone and a Motorcycle Helmet-Mounted Head-Up Display
2018
Besides motorists, also motorcyclists need safer user interfaces to interact with useful applications on the road. In this paper, distraction effects of in-vehicle tasks conducted with a head-up display (HUD) for motorcyclists were compared to smartphone tasks with 24 participants in a driving simulator. Compared to the smartphone tasks, the head-up display tasks decreased the percentage of inappropriately long glances by 45 percent. The head-up display tasks were also experienced as less demanding than the smartphone tasks. Additionally, the use of head-up display for navigation did not lead to gaze concentration effects compared to baseline driving. The head-up display is concluded to be …
Museum Studies – Bridging Theory and Practice
2021
This book is a handbook for everyone who is interested in museums and the wider cultural and cultural heritage debates. In the spirit of lifelong learning, it aims to connect the humanistic discipline of museum studies with the wider context of society. Museums possess power as safekeepers of our memories. This book will, in its own small way, take part in the discussion of making our past and future memories matter, to show how important it is for us to understand our past. In our contemporary culture it often seems that no time is allowed for this kind of understanding; the constant flow of issues and “must dos” often hinders us from seeing the connections between our past and present. In…

Co‐occurrence patterns in a steppe bird community: insights into the role of dominance and competition
2023
Spatial co-occurrence patterns are determined by environmental factors, such as food availability or habitat characteristics and by biotic associations. When resources are limited, competition which implies a dominant hierarchy can shape species assemblage. Here, we study space and time co-occurrence of steppe passerines during the breeding season in a natural steppe habitat, its modulation by environmental filtering, potential biotic interactions and random processes. We applied the joint species distribution model of hierarchical modelling of species community (HMSC) to data on species presence–absence and environmental, temporal and spatial covariates acquired from seven plots in a natur…

Parental Teaching of Reading and Spelling Across the Transition From Kindergarten to Grade 1
2021
We investigated the longitudinal links between parental teaching of reading and spelling and children’s word reading and spelling skills. Data of 244 Lithuanian parent–child dyads were analyzed, who were followed across three time points: end of kindergarten (T1; Mage = 6.88; 116 girls), beginning of Grade 1 (T2), and end of Grade 1 (T3). The children’s word reading and spelling skills were tested, and the parents answered questionnaires on the frequency with which they taught their children reading and spelling. Overall, the results showed that the parents were responsive to their children’s skill levels across the domains of reading and spelling and across time (i.e., the transition from …
Development of Numeracy and Literacy Skills in Early Childhood—A Longitudinal Study on the Roles of Home Environment and Familial Risk for Reading an…
2021
This study examines the direct and indirect effects of home numeracy and literacy environment, and parental factors (parental reading and math difficulties, and parental education) on the development of several early numeracy and literacy skills. The 265 participating Finnish children were assessed four times between ages 2.5 and 6.5. Children’s skills in counting objects, number production, number sequence knowledge, number symbol knowledge, number naming, vocabulary, print knowledge, and letter knowledge were assessed individually. Parents (N = 202) reported on their education level, learning difficulties in math and reading (familial risk, FR), and home learning environment separately fo…
