Accelerometer-based osteogenic indices, moderate-to-vigorous and vigorous physical activity, and bone traits in adolescents
2022
Objectives: We investigated the associations of accelerometry-derived osteogenic indices (OIs), moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA), and vigorous intensity physical activity (VPA) with peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pCQT) parameters in 99 adolescents aged 10–13 years. Methods: Bone parameters were assessed at the distal (4%) and shaft (66%) of the tibia using pQCT. Accelerometers were worn on the right hip for 7 consecutive days. OIs were calculated based on acceleration peak histograms either using all of the peaks (OI) or peaks with acceleration ≥5.2 g (HOI). MVPA and VPA were defined using previously published cut-points. Results: HOI was positively associated with total area (Part…

Effects of an Online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Intervention on Children’s Quality of Life
2022
AbstractThe present study examined if an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)–based online intervention for parents had indirect effects on their children’s quality of life mediated by changes in parental well-being, psychological flexibility and mindfulness skills. Participants were 74 adults, who either received an ACT-based guided online intervention or were allocated to the wait list control group, and their children (n = 66) who had type 1 diabetes or functional disabilities. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and a bias-corrected bootstrap approach were applied to examine the indirect effects of the treatment on children’s quality of life through changes in parents’ well-being and …

School climate as predictor of teachers’ capacity to meet the educational needs of adopted children in Italy
2020
The current study examines the association between different components of school climate (teacher–principal and teacher–parent relationships, parents’ involvement in school activities, connection between school and the local services) and teachers’ competences and knowledge regarding the adoption experience. Participants were 573 teachers (95.7% women; mean age = 47.06, SD = 8.66, ranging between 25 and 65) residing in three Italian regions characterised by rates of international adoptions that are higher than the national average. The association between school climate and teachers’ knowledge and competences on adoption was evaluated via independent multiple logistic regression analyses. …

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…
