Kulkumuotovalinnan ja koetun terveyden välinen yhteys Espoossa
No full textThis thesis tries to find connections between modal choice and perceived health in Espoo, Finland. Characteristics that are being observed in this thesis are sociodemographics, modal choice and destination trips in month, respondents’ valuation about how they perceive their own health, and reasons behind modal choice. The purpose of the thesis is to study with these characteristics does people who private drive more perceive their health worse than people who use more active transport modes. Connections between perceived health and modal choice are studied with statistical analysis tools and as a material-oriented qualitative content analysis in this thesis.
The findings of this thesis show that higher income level refers to better perceived health. Modal choice did not seem to have connection to perceived health, which means that driving wasn’t associated with compromised perceived health, and neither was walking or cycling associated with better perceived health. People who perceive their health as compromised made even more trips by walking than people who perceived to have better health.
From qualitative content analysis, the findings show that people who perceived their health worse chose their mode more often due to its’ speed than people who perceived their health better, when people who perceived their health better chose the mode more often due to its’ necessity. The lack of public transportation emerged from the justifications. No significant differences were found in modal choice and their justifications between the two studied groups, from which could have been drawn the connections between modal choice and perceived health.Tässä diplomityössä selvitetään kulkumuotovalinnan ja koetun terveyden välisiä yhteyksiä Espoossa, Suomessa. Ominaisuudet, joita työssä tarkastellaan ovat sosiodemografiset tekijät, kulkumuotovalinta ja eri määränpäihin tehtyjen matkojen määrät kuukaudessa, vastaajien omat arviot koetusta terveydestään, sekä kulkumuodon valinnan syyt ja perustelut. Tarkoituksena on näiden ominaisuuksien kautta tarkastella kokevatko esimerkiksi enemmän autoilevat ihmiset terveytensä huonommaksi kuin aktiivisilla kulkutavoilla liikkuvat. Koetun terveyden ja kulkumuotovalinnan välisiä yhteyksiä tutkitaan diplomityössä tilastoanalyysityökaluilla sekä aineistolähtöisenä laadullisena sisällönanalyysinä.
Diplomityön tulokset osoittavat, että korkeampi tulotaso viittaa parempaan koettuun terveyteen. Kulkumuotovalinnalla ei löydetty olevan yhteyttä koettuun terveyteen, eli autoilua ei yhdistetty huonompaan koettuun terveyteen, eikä kävelyä ja pyöräilyä parempaan koettuun terveyteen. Huonommin terveytensä kokevat tekivät matkoja kävellen jopa enemmän kuin paremmin terveytensä kokevat.
Laadullisesta sisällönanalyysistä selvisi, että huonommin terveytensä kokevat valitsivat kulkutavan sen nopeuden vuoksi useammin kuin paremmin terveytensä kokevat, kun taas paremmin terveytensä kokevat valitsivat kulkutavan sen välttämättömyyden vuoksi enemmän kuin huonommin terveytensä kokevat. Perusteluista nousi esiin Espoon joukkoliikenteen puutteellisuus. Terveysryhmien välillä ei löytynyt merkittäviä eroja kulkumuotovalinnasta ja perusteluista, joista olisi voinut päätellä kulkumuotovalinnan ja koetun terveyden välillä olevan yhteyttä

No full textLapsen syövän uusiutuminen vanhempien näkökulmasta : narratiivinen kirjallisuuskatsaus
Get PDFTämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa syöpää sairastavan lapsen vanhempien kokemuksia lapsen syövän uusiutumisesta kirjallisuuskatsauksena. Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena on lisätä henkilökunnan tietämystä, jotta he voivat auttaa syöpää sairastavan lapsen vanhempia raskaassa tilanteessa. Näin vanhemmat saavat myös enemmän tietoa lapsen syövästä yleisesti sekä voivat samaistua muiden vanhempien kokemuksiin. Opinnäytetyö on tehty toimeksiantosopimuksena Turun ammattikorkeakoulun kanssa. Aineistoa opinnäytetyöhön etsittiin tieteellisistä ja hoitotieteellisistä tietokannoista, kuten Medic, Terveysportti, Cinhal Complete ja Google Scholar. Analysoitavia tutkimuksia löytyi yhteensä seitsemän. Tutkimukset analysoitiin induktiivisella sisällön analyysillä.
Tuloksissa ilmeni, että vanhemmilla esiintyy paljon erilaisia tunnekokemuksia. Fyysisistä oireista ei varsinaisesti puhuttu paljoakaan. Kokemuksia oli liittyen tunnekokemuksiin, hengellisiin kokemuksiin, arkeen ja perheeseen liittyviin kokemuksiin, vanhempien parisuhteeseen liittyviin kokemuksiin sekä sairaalamaailmaan liittyviin kokemuksiin. Tunnekokemuksia olivat esimerkiksi epävarmuus, ahdistus, pelko, suru, viha, itsensä syyttäminen ja epätoivo. Hengelliset kokemukset liittyivät esimerkiksi Jumalaan sekä ihmeeseen uskomiseen, tässä hetkessä elämiseen ja henkisen voiman saamiseen. Monesti vanhemmat uskoivat Jumalaan ja rukoilivat apua. Lapsen syövän uusiutumiseen liittyi hyvinkin vahvasti perhe-elämän suuret muutokset, perheen hoitaminen kokonaisuutena ja arjen uudelleenjärjestely. Vanhemmat kokivat myös parisuhteen muuttuneen ja sukupuoliyhteyden vähentyneen. Sairaalassa vanhempia mietityttivät hoidot ja tutkimukset sekä kommunikaatio ja ristiriidat hoitohenkilökunnan kanssa.The purpose of this thesis was to survey experiences of the parents of the child who has cancer of the recurring of the child's cancer as a literature look. The objective of the thesis is to increase the knowledge of the staff so that they can help in a heavy situation the parents of the child who has cancer. This way the parents also get more information generally about the child's cancer and can identify to the experiences of other parents. The thesis has been done as an assignment agreement with Turku Polytechnic. Scientific and care scientific databases to the thesis were searched for the material as Medic, Terveysportti, Cinhal Complete and Google Scholar. Altogether seven studies to be analysed were found. The studies were analysed with the inductive analysis of the contents.
In the results was manifested that on the parents many different feeling experiences appear. It was not in fact talked from physical symptoms much. There were experiences in connection with the feeling experiences, with the spiritual experiences, experiences which are related to the experiences which are related to the experiences which are related to a workday and family, to the relationship of parents and to the hospital world. Some of the feeling experiences were for example the uncertainty, the anguish, the fear, the sorrow, the hatred, the blaming of himself and the despair. The spiritual experiences were connected for example to God and wonder to believing, living in this moment and for the getting of the mental power. Often the parents believed in God and prayed for the help. The big changes in the family life, the management of the family were very strongly indeed connected to the recurring of the child's cancer, as a wholeness and rearrangement of the workday. The parents also experienced that the relationship had changed and the sex connection diminished. In the hospital the parents were made think by cares and studies and communication and conflicts with the nursing staff
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
