Tieto liikunnan terveysvaikutuksista on tarkentunut – Yhdysvaltalainen liikuntasuositus on päivitetty

13.06.2019 Research

Jyrki Kettunen, terveystieteiden dosentti, TtT, Arcada; jyrki.kettunen@arcada.fi Yhdysvaltojen terveysministeriön vuosikymmenen takainen liikuntasuositus on päivitetty. Päivitetty suositus [1] on aiempaa versiota kattavampi; se huomioi ihmisen elinkaaren lapsista ikääntyneisiin ja kroonisesti sairaisiin henkilöihin. Suositus myös korostaa, että vähäinenkin liikunta on terveyden kannalta parempi kuin liikkumattomuus. Aikuisten liikuntasuosituksen pääviesti on päivitetyssä suosituksessa säilynyt ennallaan ja se vastaa myös nykyistä kansallista liikuntasuositusta (Liikunta Käypä hoito –suositus, 2016): Aikuisen henkilön tulisi harrastaa kohtuukuormitteista kestävyysliikuntaa ainakin…

Free bodily movement in a creative process: an autoethnographic inquiry

31.05.2019 Education, Research

Katia Shklyar, Media Management MA student, Department of Culture and Media, Arcada UAS Supervisor: Elisabeth Öhman Examiner: Dr. Jan Nåls Most people underestimate the value of bodily movement in their personal creative process. It is not a surprise since the concept of Cartesian split has been dominating in philosophical and scientific thought throughout the centuries: “I think therefore I am”. Body has been objectified and disfavoured…

#Feedbackmatters – Twittrar vi för döva öron?

24.05.2019 Projects, Research, Student Life

Vi tog oss utanför biblioteket för att ta reda på vad studenterna tycker om vår kommunikation. Några dagar på språng i studentkorridorerna gav oss ledtrådar, men också en chans att synliggöra våra informationskanaler. Vad vi ville veta Eftersom vi upplevt att det är svårt att nå ut till studenterna med biblioteksinfo beslöt vi göra en minienkät. Målet var att få en snabb idé om vad studenterna tycker. Som verktyg använde…

Equation Based Modelling on Comsol for Diffusion Heat Transfer

15.05.2019 Education, Research, Student Life

Many engineering problems are solved by finding the solution of partial differential equations that govern the phenomena. For example, in solid mechanics, the stress distribution can be solved by finding the solution of equilibrium equations in x, y and z coordinates (cartesian coordinate system). Similarly, in heat transfer, the temperature distribution in time and space can be determined by solving the heat diffusion equation. The three-dimensional heat diffusion equation in…

Birute Birgelyte, Media Management MA student, Department of Culture and Media, Arcada UAS Supervisor: Tomas Träskman Examiner: Dr. Mats Nylund In a dynamic business environment, all relevant knowledge can rarely be found in-house. As Felin et al. (2017: 123–124) observe, “[…] the locus of knowledge and innovation increasingly is the network rather than the firm.” Consequently, firms need to think how to utilize knowledge that resides…

Influencing millennials: Key components for an effective influencer marketing campaign

06.05.2019 Education, Research

Catharina Cadwallader, Media Management MA student, Department of Culture and Media, Arcada UAS Supervisor: Dr. Nathalie Hyde-Clarke Examiner: Dr. Jan Nåls My MA thesis examines the reasons why millennials (people born between 1981 and 1996) choose to follow influencers, such as video bloggers, and to what extent those influencers impact their followers’ consumption choices. By doing this we can identify key components…

#Feedbackmatters: Finna-användarenkät 2019 – case Arcada

26.04.2019 Education, Research, Student Life

Den årliga Finna-användarenkäten genomfördes i februari. För Arcadas del besvarades enkäten av 129 respondenter. Det var fler än ifjol (100). Vi tackar alla som gav värdefull respons på Arcada Finna! De flesta var nöjda med Arcada Finna och gav söktjänsten ett gott vitsord, men vi fick också utvecklingsförslag. Vi går igenom all respons noggrannt och gör vad vi kan för att tillmötesgå låntagarnas önskemål. Det vi inte själva kan åtgärda…
