Oppnår vi formålet med kroppsøvingsfaget? : En retrospektiv undersøkelse om kroppsøvingsfagets betydning for fysisk aktivitet i voksen alder
2017
Master grunnskolelærerutdanning for trinn 5-10, 5-årig masterprogram IDR507 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Bakgrunn: Forskning viser en nedgang i fysisk aktivitetsnivå fra skole- til voksenalder (Folkehelseinstituttet, 2015; Larouce, Laurencelle, Shephard og Trudeau, 2008). Dette står noe i konkrast til hovedformålet til kroppsøvingsfaget som er å oppnå en fysisk aktiv livsstil og livslang bevegelsesglede (Utdanningsdirektoratet, 2015a). Hensikt og problemstilling: Med bakgrunn i den negative utviklingen i voksne personers aktivitetsnivå, har jeg valgt å stille spørsmålet: Oppnår vi formålet med kroppsøvingsfaget? Hensikten med undersøkelsen er å se nærmere på voksne personers forhold til fys…
TRATTAMENTO DELLE FRATTURE MALLEOLARI
2010
La caviglia è un’articolazione complessa, nella quale sia le strutture ossee che quellelegamentose svolgono un ruolo importante per la funzione e la stabilità, che sono strettamente dipendenti dall’integrità strutturale dell’articolazione. Le fratture malleolarirappresentano oggi circa il 38% di tutti i traumi dell’arto inferiore e, nella maggior partedei casi, sono la conseguenza di forze di tipo rotazionale ed a bassa energia. Lo scopodel trattamento ortopedico è quello di garantire la stabilità dell’articolazione tibiotarsica ristabilendo i normali rapporti anatomici; così si ripristina la biomeccanica e,quindi, la funzionalità della caviglia. Nell’approccio al paziente è essenziale un m…
Market Potential and Regional Economic Growth in Spain, 1860-1930
2015
espanolEn este articulo se utilizan tecnicas parametricas y no parametricas para el analisis del impacto de los cambios registrados en el potencial de mercado de las regiones espanolas sobre su dinamica de crecimiento en el periodo 1860‐1930. El estudio del caso espanol permite analizar si la construccion de nuevas infraestructuras de transporte, asi como los cambios en la politica comercial, al afectar al potencial de mercado relativo de las regiones espanolas, acabaron por moldear sus trayectorias de crecimiento. Para la realizacion del analisis se utilizan nuevas estimaciones retrospectivas de PIB per capita de las NUTS III espanolas (provincias) y una estimacion a la Harris del potencia…
Dynamics in stochastic evolutionary models
2014
First published: 01 February 2016 We characterize transitions between stochastically stable states and relative ergodic probabilities in the theory of the evolution of conventions. We give an application to the fall of hegemonies in the evolutionary theory of institutions and conflict, and illustrate the theory with the fall of the Qing dynasty and the rise of communism in China. We are especially indebted to Juan Block for his many comments and suggestions. We would also like to thank Drew Fudenberg, Kevin Hasker, Matt Jackson, Peyton Young, and five anonymous referees. We are grateful to NSF Grant SES-08-51315 and to the MIUR PRIN 20103S5RN3 for financial support.
School burnout, depressive symptoms and engagement : Their combined effect on student achievement
2017
Abstract Prior studies have shown that student burnout becomes more prevalent during adolescence and is associated with both depressive symptoms and school engagement. Little is known about how burnout, engagement, and depressive symptoms jointly affect students’ school achievement in terms of grades and skipping class. The main purpose of the current study was to analyse these variables within a full model in order to examine the direct and indirect effects of burnout, engagement and depression on student achievement, while controlling for gender and age. Participants were 210 Italian high school students aged 14 to 16. Student burnout was found to exert the strongest effect on school achi…
School Tracking and Mental Health
2019
We examine the effects of a comprehensive school reform on mental health. The reform postponed the tracking of students into vocational and academic schools from age 11 to age 16. The reform was implemented gradually across Finnish municipalities between 1972 and 1977. We use difference-in-differences variation and administrative data. Our results show that there is no discernible effect on mental health related hospitalizations on average even though the effect is precisely estimated. Heterogeneity analysis shows that, after the reform, females from highly-educated families were more likely to be hospitalized for depression. nonPeerReviewed
The temporal relations of adolescents' basic need satisfaction in physical education and global self-worth
2020
This study investigated the temporal relations of adolescents’ basic need satisfaction in physical education (PE) and global self-worth in a sample of 3,398 lower and upper secondary school students (49% boys, 51% girls, average age T1 = 15.00, SD = 1.79). Four models and competing hypotheses were tested, and the model with bidirectional paths specified showed the best fit to the data. The bidirectional effect estimates suggest not only that basic need satisfaction in PE predicts global self-worth development but also that adolescents’ perceptions of global self-worth predict the degree to which they experience basic need satisfaction in PE. Findings could suggest that students with low glo…
Global Self-Worth among Adolescents: The Role of Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction in Physical Education
2019
Global self-worth is important for healthy development and learning, and is therefore highlighted as a major aim in the Norwegian physical education (PE) curriculum. Based on prior research this study aimed to assess potential differences in global self-worth and contextual basic need satisfaction among 2854 adolescents (47.5% boys, 52.5% girls, ages 13 and 16) participating in different movement contexts, and to determine whether basic need satisfaction in PE relates to global self-worth. Structural equation modeling analyses indicate that basic need satisfaction in PE relates significantly to global self-worth. However, adolescents who do not participate in movement contexts outside schoo…
Relative age and perceptions of soccer specific skills among elite youth players in Norway
2019
One common feature among the selected players in talent development programs are the well-known relative age effect (RAE), characterized by a skewed birth distribution among selected players with an over-representation of players born early in the selection year. The aim of the present study was to examine potential differences in soccer-specific skills between players selected for national talent program born in the first half of the year compared to the players born in the second half of the year. A total of 753 elite male U 14 (N = 363) and U 13 players (N = 390) from 16 of 18 soccer regions in Norway participated. The results showed players born early in the selection year considered th…
How populist crisis rhetoric affects voters in Switzerland
2019
Right-wing populism has a long tradition in Switzerland. Nevertheless, only little is known about how populist messages in the media contribute to the success of the Swiss People’s Party (SVP) and to the acceptance of the party’s anti-immigration policies. In this study, we combine data from a large media content analysis (including newspapers and TV news shows) with data from a panel-survey in order to address this research gap. Thereby we differentiate between effects driven by the content and the form of right-wing populist communication. While right-wing populist content depicts immigrants and the political elite as a threat to the Swiss people, populist style evokes the sense of a cris…
