    Carbon sequestration in different urban vegetation types in Southern Finland by L. Thölix, L. Backman, M. Havu, M. Havu, E. Karvinen, J. Soininen, J. Trémeau, O. Nevalainen, J. Ahongshangbam, L. Järvi, L. Järvi, L. Kulmala

    Published 2025-02-01
    “…In this study, we examined the performance of three models – the Jena Scheme for Biosphere–Atmosphere Coupling in Hamburg (JSBACH), the Lund–Potsdam–Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS), and the Surface Urban Energy and Water Balance Scheme (SUEWS) – in estimating carbon sequestration rates in both irrigated and non-irrigated lawns, park trees (<i>Tilia cordata</i>), and urban forests (<i>Betula pendula</i>) in Helsinki, Finland. The test data included observations of various environmental parameters and component fluxes such as soil moisture and temperature, sap flow, leaf area index, photosynthesis, soil respiration, and net ecosystem exchange. …”

    Identifying multilevel factors on student mathematics performance for Singapore, Korea, Finland, and Denmark in PISA 2022: considering individualistic versus collectivistic cultures by Jinpeng Niu, Hui Xu, Jiangtao Yu

    Published 2025-02-01
    “…The results showed that (a) economic, social and cultural status (ESCS), school average ESCS, mathematics self-efficacy, and mathematics anxiety are significantly associated with mathematics performance for Singapore, Korea, Finland, and Denmark; (b) mathematics teacher support has a significantly positive effect on mathematics performance for Finland and Denmark, while ability grouping for mathematics classes and student disruptive behaviours have a significantly negative impact on mathematics performance for Singapore and Korea; (c) the relationship between time in mathematics homework and mathematics performance is positive in Singapore and Korea but negative in Finland and Denmark; as well, (d) curiosity is positively related to mathematics performance for Korea, Finland, and Denmark, while the influence of mathematics motivation on mathematics performance is only significant for Finland and the influence of mathematics extra-curricular activities on mathematics performance is merely significant for Korea. …”

    Barriers and facilitators to medication adherence: a qualitative study with general practitioners by Marja Airaksinen, Kirsi Kvarnström, Helena Liira

    Published 2018-01-01
    “…Background General practitioners (GPs) manage the drug therapies of people with chronic diseases, and poor adherence to medication remains a major challenge.Objective This qualitative study examined GPs’ insights into non-adherence and ways of overcoming this problem.Methods We ran four focus groups comprising 16 GPs at the Kirkkonummi Health Centre (Southern Finland). Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim and analysed by inductive content analysis.Main results The two main themes in the discussions with the GPs were non-adherence in the care of chronic disease and increased need for medicine information. …”
