The influence of serotonin- and other genes on impulsive behavioral aggression and cognitive impulsivity in children with attention-deficit/hyperacti…
2008
Contains fulltext : 70708.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Low serotonergic (5-HT) activity correlates with increased impulsive-aggressive behavior, while the opposite association may apply to cognitive impulsiveness. Both types of impulsivity are associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and genes of functional significance for the 5-HT system are implicated in this disorder. Here we demonstrate the separation of aggressive and cognitive components of impulsivity from symptom ratings and test their association with 5-HT and functionally related genes using a family-based association test (FBAT-PC). METHODS: Our sample consisted of 1180 o…
3-4 gadīgu bērnu pirmreizēja agrīna diagnosticēšana vispārējā pirmsskolas izglītības iestādē
2017
Autore diplomdarba tēmu „3 - 4 gadīgu bērnu pirmreizēja agrīna diagnosticēšana vispārējā pirmsskolas izglītības iestādē” izvēlējusies, jo strādā Rīgas pirmsskolas izglītības iestādē par skolotāju logopēdi un gan viņa, gan viņas kolēģi darbā sastopas ar gadījumiem, kad bērnam nepieciešamāka agrīnāka diagnosticēšana nekā tas paredzēts pašreiz. Pirmsskolas izglītības iestādē ir viens dokuments – valodas karte, pēc kuras tiek veikta pirmreizēja diagnostika 5 – 7 gadīgiem bērniem no vecākās un sagatavošanas grupas, tādēļ autorei šķita svarīgi izveidot materiālu – darba lapu, pēc kuras varētu veikt pirmreizējo agrīno diagnostiku 3 – 4 gadus veciem bērniem. Darbā no teorētiskā viedokļa ir aplūkota…
Darba nosaukums- 3-5 gadus vecu bērnu pašapkalpošanās prasmju pilnveide lomu rotaļās
2020
Kvalifikācijas darba temats: 3-5 gadus vecu bērnu pašapkalpošanās prasmju pilnveide lomu rotaļās. Darba autors: Madara Umbraško Kvalifikācijas darba mērķis: analizēt autoru atziņas par pašapkalpošanās prasmēm un pētīt to pilnveides iespējas 3 – 5 gadus veciem bērniem lomu rotaļās. Lai īstenotu mērķi un uzdevumus teorētiskajā daļā tika pētīta un analizēta psiholoģiskā un pedagoģiskā literatūra par pašapkalpošanās prasmēm un to nozīmi attīstībā, 3 – 5 gadus vecu bērnu attīstības raksturojums un lomu rotaļu nozīme pašapkalpošanās prasmju apguves veicināšanā. Empīriskajā daļā tika pētīta lomu rotaļu ietekme uz pašapkalpošanās prasmju apguvi. Veikta novērošana “X” izglītības iestādes jaukta vecu…
Cognitive mechanisms underlying reading and spelling development in five European orthographies
2014
This paper addresses the question whether the cognitive underpinnings of reading and spelling are universal or language/orthography-specific. We analyzed concurrent predictions of phonological processing (awareness and memory) and rapid automatized naming (RAN) for literacy development in a
Executive functions in kindergarten children at risk for developmental coordination disorder
2018
Executive functioning (EF) is a key cognitive process for development. Little is known about EF in Kindergarten children at risk for developmental coordination disorder (DCD), despite this age being one of the most critical and intensive period of motor and cognitive development. In our investigation we compared EF in kindergarten children at risk for DCD with Typically Developing (TD) children. Participants were 36 Italian children, 18 at risk for DCD (9 boys and 9 girls) who had a mean age of 4.6 years and 18 TD (9 boys and 9 girls) who had a mean age of 4.6. Executive functions were measured by tasks targeting cold executive functioning (working memory, fluency, inhibitory control) and t…
Integrated CGH/WES Analyses Advance Understanding of Aggressive Neuroblastoma Evolution: A Case Study
2021
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extra-cranial malignancy in preschool children. To portray the genetic landscape of an overly aggressive NB leading to a rapid clinical progression of the disease, tumor DNA collected pre- and post-treatment has been analyzed. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), whole-exome sequencing (WES), and pharmacogenetics approaches, respectively, have identified relevant copy number alterations (CNAs), single nucleotide variants (SNVs), and polymorphisms (SNPs) that were then combined into an integrated analysis. Spontaneously formed 3D tumoroids obtained from the recurrent mass have also been characterized. The results prove the power of combining C…
Mothers’ and fathers’ well-being, parenting styles, and their children’s cognitive and behavioural strategies at primary school
1998
One-hundred and five 6- to 7-year-old children were given a test measuring their helplessness, failure expectations, task-irrelevant behaviour, lack of persistence and search for social support in a classroom setting in order to examine the impact of parental well-being and parenting styles on the children’s cognitive and behavioural strategies at school. Both parents were also asked to fill in scales measuring their depression, parenting stress and parenting styles. The results revealed that maternal depressive symptomatology was associated with their children’s use of maladaptive strategies, whereas paternal depression was not. Moreover, maternal authoritative parenting styles and authori…
Frequency of co‐teaching in different teacher categories
2010
Co‐teaching – or the use of more than one teacher in a classroom – has been commonly recommended as a means to promote inclusive education. The aim of the present study was to survey the actual frequency of co‐teaching among different teacher categories in the comprehensive school level in one Finnish city. The data were collected through a questionnaire answered by two representative samples of teachers including 117 resource room teachers in the first survey, and 317 teachers of various teacher categories in the second. The results showed that co‐teaching was a widespread phenomenon among resource room teachers and special class teachers but less frequent among other teacher groups. Overa…
Early numeracy in low‐performing young children
2009
The aim of this study was to explore the early numeracy of low‐performing young children. The mean age of the children was six years and four months. The 511 participants belonged to three groups: multi‐language children, children with special educational needs and children with average performance. The results showed that there were significant group differences in early numeracy: the children in the reference group had better relational and counting skills than those with a multi‐language background and those with special educational needs. Some differences were found in counting skills between the children with multi‐language background and those with special educational needs. Finally, …
Case study on teachers’ contribution to children’s participation in Finnish preschool classrooms during structured learning sessions
2013
The main aim of this study was to identify different teaching practices and explore the types of opportunities that they provide for children’s participation in four different Finnish preschool classrooms for 6-year olds during structured learning sessions. Observational data of four preschool teachers were analyzed according to the principles of qualitative content analysis. Three themes of teachers’ practices were identified, which described the key practices through which teachers influence children’s participation, namely, through discussion and conversations; by referring to shared rules and managing the classroom; and through demonstrating pedagogical sensitivity and understanding tow…
