Interpretation, Negotiation, Play
2022
Augmented reality (AR) picturebooks combine printed children's literature with augmented reality. This study examines the shared reading of the Finnish AR picturebook Mur, eli karhu (2016) by Kaisa Happonen and Anne Vasko. The main aim of the study is to explore the playful reading experience of three Finnish families with children between the ages of 4 and 6. Three main categories of engagement with the book are discussed in the article: interpretation, negotiation, and play. The findings of the study suggest that children are skilled users of mobile digital media but may not understand the content of AR without parental mediation. In addition, parents and educators are required to have su…
A life time in exile : Finnish war children in Sweden after the war : an interview study with a psychological and psychodynamic approach
2018
This study is based upon in-depth interviews with ten Finnish war children who were evacuated to Sweden during the Second World War (1939 -1944) and who did not return permanently to Finland after the war. This interpretative and qualitative interview study of war children seems to be the only one of its kind. The interviews were carried out in 2007 in Stockholm. At the time of the evacuation nine of the children were between two and five years of age and one was seven years old. At the time of the interviews they were approaching their seventieth birthday. The interviewees were asked to tell about their life. The method for this study was an application of Grounded Theory and Adult Attachm…
"Jeden wiatr w polu wiał, drugi wiatr w sadzie grał..." Obrazy wiatru w wybranych wierszach dla dzieci
2020
The way wind is presented in poems for children can be seen already in their titles. Most of them treat wind as the protagonist, the prime mover of natural phenomena (‘W ind’, ‘On Wind’, ‘Windy Mischief’, ‘What the W ind Looks Like’) or the parallel hero (‘W ind and Sea’, ‘Book and Wind’), others strongly emphasise the educational, concept-defining role of the presentation (‘Wind’, ‘With the Wind’, ‘On Wind’), and still others additionally use personification to present the theme in a playful manner (‘Rascal Wind’, ‘Windy Mischief’, ‘Mr Wind’). The authors depict wind as a particular character: a boy, guitarist, tramp, etc. to educate children about the air element in a simple and attractiv…

Individuality in the Early Number Skill Components Underlying Basic Arithmetic Skills
2018
Early number skills underlie success in basic arithmetic. However, very little is known about the skill profiles among children in preprimary education and how the potential profiles are related to arithmetic development. This longitudinal study of 440 Finnish children in preprimary education (mean age: 75 months) modeled latent performancelevel profile groups for the early number skill components that are proposed to be key predictors of arithmetic (symbolic number comparison, mapping, and verbal counting skills). Based on three assessment time points (September, January, and May), four profile groups were found: the poorest-performing (6%), low-performing (16%), nearaverage-performing (33…
Endotyping allergic rhinitis in children: A machine learning approach.
2021
Introduction: The diversity of allergic rhinitis (AR) phenotypes is particularly evident in childhood, suggesting the need to analyze and identify new approaches to capture such clinical heterogeneity. Nasal cytology (NC) is a very useful diagnostic tool for identifying and quantifying nasal inflammation. Data-driven approaches such as latent class analysis (LCA) assign subjects to classes based on their characteristics. We hypothesized that LCA based on NC, including the assessment of neutrophils, eosinophils, and mast cells, may be helpful for identifying AR endotypes in children. Methods: A total of 168 children were enrolled. Sociodemographic characteristics and detailed medical history…
Educación compensatoria : efectos recientes de un estudio clásico (High-Scope)
2014
Este artículo analiza dos estudios que prueban la tesis de que la educación de los desfavorecidos sociales en la edad temprana -3 y 4 años- merece la pena a corto y largo plazo. Para ello se analizan dos estudios preescolares complementarios –Perry y Curriculum -, de la Fundación High/Scope en los 60, evaluados en diversos momentos intermedios, el primero hasta alcanzar los 40 años y el segundo 23. Se describen los estudios y programas educativos, se analizan cuestiones metodológicas ligadas al seguimiento (muestra, validez, variables), se muestran los hallazgos, los tempranos específicamente escolares y otros de naturaleza distinta en la edad adulta. Finalmente se discute la modificabilida…
Fonētisko traucējumu mazināšana vidējā pirmsskolas vecuma bērniem artikulācijas vingrinājumos
2022
Ar literatūras izpēti sākas jebkurš pētnieciskais darbs. (Albrehta, 1998, 9). Darba autore izvēlētajam darba tematam piemeklēja un aplūkoja daudzus literatūras avotus, lai sekmīgi veiktu pētījumu, kuri vienmēr balstās uz teorētiskiem uzskatiem, un kā tiks veikts arī šajā diplomdarbā. Darba autore 1. nodaļā veic teorētiskās literatūras analīzi, lai izzinātu noteiktā vecumposma (4-5 gadu jauna) bērna attīstības raksturojumu veselumā. 2.nodaļā autore pēta un analizē literatūru par runas traucējumu rašanās cēloņiem, izpausmēm un fonētisko traucējumu raksturojumu. Balstoties uz vairāku autoru darbiem, 3.nodaļā tika veikta izpēte par artikulācijas aparātu un tā vingrinājumiem, un artikulācijas ap…
Association between Asthma Control and Exposure to Greenness and Other Outdoor and Indoor Environmental Factors: A Longitudinal Study on a Cohort of …
2022
Achieving and maintaining asthma control (AC) is the main goal of asthma management. Indoor and outdoor environmental factors may play an important role on AC. The aim of this longitudinal study was to evaluate the association between AC and exposure to greenness and other outdoor or indoor environmental factors in a cohort of asthmatic children. This study involved 179 asthmatic children (5–16 years). Parents were interviewed through a modified version of the SIDRIA questionnaire. AC was assessed at each visit. Exposure to greenness was measured using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). A logistic regression model was applied for assessing risk factors for uncontrolled…
