Goals and guesses as reference points: a field experiment on student performance
2022
In this paper, we study overconfidence and goal-setting in academic performance, with and without monetary incentives. Students enrolled in a microeconomics course were offered the possibility of setting their own target grade before taking part in the final exam. They were also asked to guess their grade immediately after they had taken the exam (“post-diction”). In general, students overestimated their performance, both at the goal-setting and at the post-diction stages. Controlling for several sources of this bias (cognitive abilities, academic record and self-reported academic confidence), we find that the use of monetary rewards mitigates the overestimation of potential achievements an…
Physical literacy in Europe : The current state of implementation in research, practice, and policy
2023
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: The holistic concept of physical literacy (PL) embraces different person-centered qualities (physical, cognitive, affective/psychological) necessary to lead physically active lifestyles. PL has recently gained increasing attention globally and Europe is no exception. However, scientific endeavors summarizing the current state of PL in Europe are lacking. Therefore, the goal of this study was to comprehensively assess and compare the implementation of PL in research, policy, and practice across the continent.METHODS: We assembled a panel of experts representing 25 European countries. Employing a complementary mixed-methods design, the experts first prepared reviews abou…
Endring av kroppsøvingsfagets motivasjonsklima og elevenes målorientering : en fireukers intervensjonsstudie i ungdoms- og videregående skole
2019
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap ME517 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 The purpose of this project was to investigate if the Physical Education-teacher could have animmediateeffecton the pupils’perceived motivational climate. Also,if this could impact thepupils’goal orientations.Achievement Goal Theory was used as a theoretical background for the project.The project is an intervention study, witha cross-over design. The sample consisted of202Norwegian pupils in schools located insouth of Norway. Of these,55% were boys and 45% were girls. The TARGET-model was used as a didacticaltool for structuringthe activity lessons. The intervention comprisedtwo lessonswith highego-involving climate,and two l…
Education for optimized Life Cycle Management : The Project e-CIRP and its insights into embedding circular economy aspects to product design via tea…
2022
Publisher Copyright: © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences. The integration of circular economy-based life cycle management (LCM) into product design and optimisation is essential for the transformation towards a circular economy (CE). However, companies often lack the expertise to adapt life-cycle design (LCD) thinking in their business operations and are in need of respective capacity building. To close this apparent gap is the aim of the project e-CirP (Embedding Circular Economy into Product Design and Optimization) where LUT University, Fraunhofer, Technical University of Denmark, University of Padova, Delft University of Technology, University of Helsinki and Metso Outotec have wor…
Mapping a-priori defined plant associations using remotely sensed vegetation characteristics
2014
Abstract Incorporation of a priori defined plant associations into remote sensing products is a major challenge that has only recently been confronted by the remote sensing community. We present an approach to map the spatial distribution of such associations by using plant indicator values (IVs) for salinity, moisture and nutrients as an intermediate between spectral reflectance and association occurrences. For a 12 km 2 study site in the Netherlands, the relations between observed IVs at local vegetation plots and visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) airborne reflectance data were modelled using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) (R 2 0.73, 0.64 and 0.76 for sali…
How to Ensure the Development of SMEs in Post-Pandemic Economy? A Start-ups Case Study
2023
Abstract After the humanitarian crisis, caused by COVID-19, enterprises have to face a post-pandemic economic crisis. As small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute 99% of EU enterprises and create every third workplace (European Parliament, 2021), it is important to monitor their situation not only to survive but also to develop and build strong economies in the future. The aim of this research is to investigate development trends and opportunities in (SMEs’) development, with a special focus on start-ups (STPS) as representative of these. Also, special attention is paid to the concept of sustainable development (SD), which fulfils the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Go…
L’INFLUSSO DEL RAPPORTO FAMIGLIA-SCUOLA NELL’EDUCAZIONE DEI FIGLI-ALUNNI. PROFILO PEDAGOGICO
2020
L’idea di educazione influisce sul rapporto tra genitori e insegnanti. La collaborazione scuola- famiglia, che è indispensabile per l’efficacia dell’educazione del figlio-alunno, è molto difficile quando non sono ben definite le funzioni educative dei due enti. La considerazione delle esigenze dell’educando favorisce il superamento delle contrapposizioni, che a volte sorgono tra gli educatori. A questa condizione è possibile trasformare un istituto scolastico in un’autentica comunità educativa. The concept of education affects the relationship between parents and teachers. School-family collaboration, which is essential for the effective education of the child-pupil, turns to be too difficu…
Development and validation of an intrinsic capacity composite score in the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam: a formative approach
2023
Abstract Background Intrinsic capacity (IC) defined by the WHO refers to the composite of five domains of capacities. So far, developing and validating a standardized overall score of the concept have been challenging partly because its conceptual framework has been unclear. We consider that a person’s IC is determined by its domain-specific indicators suggesting a formative measurement model. Aims To develop an IC score applying a formative approach and assess its validity. Methods The study sample (n = 1908) consisted of 57–88-year-old participants from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA). We used logistic regression models to select the indicators to the IC score with 6-year fu…

The Othris Ophiolite, Greece: A snapshot of subduction initiation at a mid-ocean ridge
2008
The mantle section of the Tethyan-type Othris Ophiolite, Greece, records tectono-magmatic processes characteristic of both mid-ocean ridges and supra-subduction zones. The Othris Ophiolite is a remnant of the Jurassic Neotethys Ocean, which existed between Eurasia and Gondwanaland. Othris peridotites range from fertile plagioclase lherzolites to depleted harzburgites. Abundances of Al2O3 and CaO show well-defined inverse linear correlations with MgO, suggesting that the Othris peridotites formed as residua from variable degrees of partial melting. Peridotites from the Fournos Kaitsa and western Katachloron sub-massifs are similar to abyssal peridotites and can be explained by a multistage m…
