Study engagement and burnout profiles among Finnish higher education students
2017
A person-oriented approach was applied to identify profiles of study engagement and burnout (i.e., exhaustion, cynicism, inadequacy) in higher education in a large and representative sample of 12,394 higher education students at different phases of their studies in universities and polytechnics in Finland. Four profiles were identified: Engaged (44%), engaged-exhausted (30%) inefficacious (19%) and burned-out (7%). The engaged students had the most positive engagement accompanied with the least burnout symptoms compared to other groups. The engaged-exhausted students experienced emotional exhaustion simultaneously with academic engagement. The inefficacious group had heightened experience o…
School burnout and engagement profiles among digital natives in Finland: a person-oriented approach
2016
AbstractApplying a person-oriented approach, this study set out to examine what profiles of school engagement and school burnout (i.e., exhaustion, cynicism, inadequacy) can be identified among elementary school children at age 12, a generation also often referred to as the generation of digital natives. We compared the group memberships in their use of socio-digital technologies and related functioning as we expected to find a gap between some digital natives and current educational practices which do not include socio-digital technology in feelings of cynicism towards school. Latent profile analysis identified five groups: Engaged (50%) students, who formed the majority; Stressed (4%) stu…
Individual Differences Facing the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Age, Gender, Personality, and Positive Psychology
2021
Research on individual differences in facing the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be crucial in order to design diverse and highly effective intervention strategies. This study uses a sample of 302 North American participants who were recruited through the crowdsourcing platform ProA; different profiles were established, profiling variables of interest in facing the COVID-19 outbreak. Socio-demographic and psychological (personality traits, gratitude, life purpose, and religiosity) variables were explored. These results are of interest if we want to deepen the study of individual differences at both a theoretical and applied level.
On the Flexibility of the IEEE 802.11 Technology: Challenges and Directions
2011
The original 802.11 standard, which is the de-facto standard for contention-based wireless data networks, has shown to give poor performance or to be scarcely suitable for dealing with new PHY-layer technologies, networking scenarios, or service contexts, thus boosting the proliferation of projects, technical solutions and dedicated task groups for extending the basic protocol operations. In this paper, starting from the evolution analysis of current 802.11 standard and de- vices, we propose an architectural solution for making the medium access protocol programmable. Our basic idea, pursued within the FP7 EU Project FLAVIA [1], started in July 2010, is changing the role of the wireless net…
Wireless card virtualization: from virtual NICs to virtual MAC machines
2012
Virtualization has been a hot topic in computer science this last 10 years, and a key enabler to the recent advances. By technically enabling the Cloud paradigm, virtualization is becoming an inspiring source for the whole IT industry. At the same moment the virtualization of commodity PC was envisioned, Software Defined Radio started as a huge promise of efficient wireless transmission hardware. Unfortunately, the pace of innovation has still to reach the one of the PC virtualization. Yet, there is a another option. The current state of the art of hardware and software of wireless adapter in standard PC reveals interesting capabilities in terms of unused wireless capacity, processing power…
Does predictability matter? Effects of cue predictability on neurocognitive mechanisms underlying prospective memory
2015
Prospective memory (PM) represents the ability to successfully realize intentions when the appropriate moment or cue occurs. In this study, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to explore the impact of cue predictability on the cognitive and neural mechanisms supporting PM. Participants performed an ongoing task and, simultaneously, had to remember to execute a pre-specified action when they encountered the PM cues. The occurrence of the PM cues was predictable (being signalled by a warning cue) for some participants and was completely unpredictable for others. In the predictable cue condition, the behavioural and ERP correlates of strategic monitoring were observed mainly in the ongoing…
Proton shape fluctuation and its relation to DIS
2018
We review the recent progress in extracting the proton fluctuating substructure by studying exclusive processes at HERA, and the applications of these developments in the interpretation of the LHC heavy ion data. The possibilities to extract the proton geometry directly from the LHC high-multiplicity proton-nucleus and proton-proton collision data is also discussed. peerReviewed
Przekonania skazanych za zabójstwo o sobie, innych i przyszłości - możliwości restrukturyzacji poznawczej jako kierunku oddziaływań resocjalizacyjnych
2014
Podstawą teoretyczną przeprowadzonych badań jest koncepcja poznawcza, która zakłada, że dla efektywnego funkcjonowania człowieka kluczowe są jego procesy poznawcze determinujące schematy przekonań na temat siebie, innych i przyszłości. Badania prezentowane w artykule przeprowadzono w grupie 232 skazanych na karę dożywotniego pozbawienia wolności lub karę 25 lat za zabójstwo. Otrzymane wyniki poddano analizie czynnikowej, która ujawniła cztery czynniki: poczucie zagubienia, przekonania o własnej zaradności, przekonania o funkcjonariuszach i przekonania o innych. W artykule zaprezentowano powiązania pomiędzy ujawnionymi zmiennymi a zmiennymi demograficzno-społecznymi w kontekście możliwości p…
Relations between Parenting Stress, Attachment, and Life Satisfaction in Mothers of Adolescent Children
2016
Relacje przyczynowe pomiędzy stresem rodzicielskim, przywiązaniem i zadowoleniem z życia dotychczas poddawane analizie są traktowane wielokierunkowo w zależności od ich osadzenia w odmiennych ramach teoretycznych. Ponadto, relacje pomiędzy nimi zależą od wielu zmiennych, które mogą oddziaływać na analizowane relacje jako potencjalne czynniki zakłócające. W naszym badaniu podjęliśmy się analizy związku pomiędzy stresem rodzicielskim matek i ich zadowoleniem z życia zapośredniczonego poprzez jakość przywiązania, rozumianego, jako ogólna orientacja matki w bliskich związkach. Przywiązanie było przez nas traktowane jako rodzaj zasobów osobistych matek, który zgodnie z naszymi założeniami działa…
Intégrer des informations en escamots dans les textes techniques : quels effets sur les processus cognitifs ?
1998
Though computerized sytems now offer a wide range of options for accessing and displaying text or text-picture information, little is known about their effects on the user's cognitive processes. In this paper, we investigate the effect of a computer-specific display (pop-up window) which consists in displaying some pieces of information in windows that appear only under user's action. Experiments were carried out to compare the pop-up window device with other devices used on paper. The experiments dealt with text only as well as text-picture documents and involved various tasks. Results are discussed from a theoretical and a practical point of view.
