La emancipación compleja. Cambios en los procesos de independencia juvenil en España entre 1990 y 2020 en perspectiva comparada
2023
En esta obra se analizan los cambios en los modelos de emancipación juvenil en España en el período 1990-2020, centrándonos en la desestandarización del proceso, y la difusión de formas intermedias del mismo. La emancipación se concibe como la consecución de independencia respecto a la familia de origen, mediante un proceso complejo y multidimensional, determinado tanto por la agencia subjetiva como por la estructura social. Para el análisis empírico, se utiliza una aproximación multiestratégica: se combina un análisis comparativo de discursos de jóvenes noruegos y españoles, con un conjunto triangulado de análisis estadísticos sobre datos de encuesta transversales y longitudinales retrospe…
All-Polish Andragogical Journals in the Interwar Period (1918–1939)
2020
In the article, the author attempts to show the role of andragogical journals in popularizing adult education in the Interwar period. Six Polish journals of nationwide circulation are characterized, as they reflected the socio-ideological profile of the state and the organizations which published them. In their columns, theoretical and methodological studies which facilitated work with adults were presented. Their major task was to support teachers and educators in their school and outside-school work with adult learners. The basis for preparing the present text was an analysis of the content of the periodicals. W tekście podjęto próbę ukazania roli czasopism andragogicznych w upowszechnian…
A dance movement therapy group for depressed adult patients in a psychiatric outpatient clinic: effects of the treatment
2015
We were interested in investigating the effects of dance movement therapy (DMT) in a psychiatric outpatient clinic with patients diagnosed with depression. DMT aims to engage the patients in physical and verbal exploration of their experiences generated in movement based interaction. The assumption was that DMT, which includes both physical engagement as well as emotional and social exploration, would alleviate the mood and psychiatric symptoms. All adult patients (n = 33) included in the study received treatment as usual (TAU). Twenty-one patients participated in a 12-session DMT group intervention, and the remaining 12 patients chose to take TAU only. The majority of the patients suffered…
Surgical treatment of early breast cancer in day surgery.
2007
Quadrantectomy and associated sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is currently employed in most breast surgery centres as the gold standard in the treatment of early breast cancer. This approach has a modest morbidity and can usually be performed in a day-surgery regimen, leading to best acceptance by the patients. This reports outlines the experience of our Breast Unit with quadrantectomy and SLNB in day surgery for early breast cancer. One hundred patients presenting to our institution with primary invasive breast cancer measuring less than 3 cm and clinically negative axillary nodes underwent quadrantectomy and SLNB in day surgery. For 60 women with breast cancer the sentinel node was nega…
Working Adults' Intentions to Participate in Microlearning: Assessing for Measurement Invariance and Structural Invariance.
2021
The current study set out to understand the factors that explain working adults' microlearning usage intentions using the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (DTPB). Specifically, the authors were interested in differences, if any, in the factors that explained microlearning acceptance across gender, age and proficiency in technology. 628 working adults gave their responses to a 46-item, self-rated, 5-point Likert scale developed to measure 12 constructs of the DTPB model. Results of this study revealed that a 12-factor model was valid in explaining microlearning usage intentions of all working adults, regardless of demographic differences. Tests for measurement invariance showed support…

The first step of the project was the conduction of separated systematic reviews of the characteristics and applicability to critically ill, adult patients outside classical populations at ri…
Tensions and striving for coherence in an academic’s professional identity work
2017
The emergence of ‘new managerialism’ in academic institutions and professions has given rise to tensions between one’s professional self and work context. Such tensions often originate from a misalignment between institutional and personal values. This study builds on a dialogical approach to identity and discusses the role of inner tensions and conflicts in terms of making sense of one’s professional identity. These aspects are explored and exemplified by introducing a sample case of one individual student and university researcher/teacher, Anna, who participated in one-year Pedagogical Studies for Adult Educators. Leaning on the narratives of Anna’s learning diaries and a later interview,…

"Ois hienoa jos kaikki ois sähköisessä muodossa" : digital self-revising material for adult language learners
2015
Tämän kandidaatintutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää onko aikuisille kohdistetulle digitaaliselle itseopiskelumateriaalille tarvetta. Tällä hetkellä edistyneemmille aikuisopiskelijoille ei ole olemassa itsekertausmateriaalia. Aikuiskoulutusta on vasta viime vuosina alettu tutkia tarkemmin ja olemassa oleva kirjallisuus aiheesta on hyvin yleisellä tasolla ja keskittyy lähinnä iän tuomiin haasteisiin opiskelussa sekä nuorten ja aikuisten eroavaisuuksien tarkasteluun oppimisen näkökulmasta. Aikuisten itsenäistä kielten opiskelua ei ole aikaisemmin juurikaan tutkittu. Jo olemassa olevat tutukimukset aiheesta ovat hyvin yleispiirteisiä sekä pysyttelevät usein teoreettisella tasolla. Tämän vuo…
