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…
Mapping routine measles vaccination in low- and middle-income countries
2021
The safe, highly effective measles vaccine has been recommended globally since 1974, yet in 2017 there were more than 17 million cases of measles and 83,400 deaths in children under 5 years old, and more than 99% of both occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)1–4. Globally comparable, annual, local estimates of routine first-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV1) coverage are critical for understanding geographically precise immunity patterns, progress towards the targets of the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP), and high-risk areas amid disruptions to vaccination programmes caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)5–8. Here we generated annual estimates of routine childhoo…
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…
The Modified Heidelberg and the AI Appendicitis Score Are Superior to Current Scores in Predicting Appendicitis in Children: A Two-Center Cohort Study
2020
Background: Acute appendicitis represents the most frequent reason for abdominal surgery in children. Since diagnosis can be challenging various scoring systems have been published. The aim of this study was to evaluate and validate (and improve) different appendicitis scores in a very large cohort of children with abdominal pain. Methods: Retrospective analysis of all children that have been hospitalized due to suspected appendicitis at the Pediatric Surgery Department of the Altonaer Children's Hospital and University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf from 01/2018 until 11/2019. Four different appendicitis scores (Heidelberg Appendicitis Score, Alvarado Score, Pediatric Appendicitis Score …
Kompetenču pieejas īstenošanas iespējas apvienotajās klasēs darbā ar bērniem ar garīgās attīstības traucējumiem
2022
Skolotāja maģistra pieredzes darba “Kompetenču pieejas īstenošanas iespējas apvienotajās klasēs darbā ar bērniem ar garīgās attīstības traucējumiem” aktualitāte izriet no Valsts izglītības satura centra īstenotā projekta “Kompetenču pieeja mācību saturā” (Skola2030) izglītības politikas plānošanas dokumentiem un izvirzītajām prioritātēm, ar mērķi – izstrādāt, aprobēt, pēctecīgi ieviest Latvijā tādu vispārējās izglītības saturu un pieeju mācīšanai, kā rezultātā skolēni gūtu dzīvei mūsdienās nepieciešamās zināšanas, prasmes un attieksmes, kā arī, lai apkopotu speciālo skolotāju pieredzi satura ieviešanai apvienotajās klasēs bērniem ar garīgās attīstības traucējumiem. Maģistra darba mērķis ir …
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…
