Funzionalità di uno strumento di osservazione per progettare interventi educativi
2023
Il contributo presenta una guida di osservazione costruita secondo l’International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF, 2001; 2007), per la conferma o modifica del Profilo di Funzionamento degli alunni di scuola primaria in situazione di disabilità e per la formulazione del relativo Piano Educativo Individualizzato (PEI) da parte degli insegnanti. La guida per l’insegnante è stata preparata partendo da alcuni recenti strumenti di osservazione. È stata effettuata una prima validazione dello strumento su un campione di insegnanti di scuola primaria (n=611); i risultati delle analisi mostrano una buona validità di costrutto rispetto ai domini di contenuto dell’ICF e ai re…
Linguistic, Contextual, and Experiential Equivalence Issues in the Adaptation of a Performance-Based Assessment of Generic Skills in Higher Education
2022
This qualitative study investigated the various linguistic, contextual, and experiential equivalence issues embedded in a performance-based instrument aimed at assessing generic skills in higher education. A rigorous translation and adaptation process (American English to Finnish) was conducted on one instrument, namely Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA+) International. The data were obtained from cognitive laboratories (n = 13), with think-alouds and follow-up interviews conducted among Finnish undergraduate students. Content logs were created, and the data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that linguistic and contextual equivalence issues were more prominent than experie…
Lipīdu profila raksturojums un to atbilstība vadlīniju mērķiem koronārās sirds slimības pacientiem, kas stacionēti Latvijas Kardioloģijas centrā
2018
Ievads: Kardiovaskulārās slimības (KVS) mirstības ziņā joprojām ieņem pirmo vietu pasaulē. Latvijā 2014. gadā tās veidoja 64% no visiem nāves cēloņiem sievietēm un 49% no visiem nāves cēloņiem vīriešiem (OECD, 2017). Jo īpaši, zema blīvuma lipoproteīnu holesterīns (ZBLH) ir galvenais terapeitiskais mērķis, aizkavējot saslimšanu ar KVS. Nesen papildinātās dislipidēmijas ārstēšanas vadlīnijas nosaka ļoti augsta riska pacientiem ZBLH mērķa līmeni <1,8 mmol/L un sākotnējā ZBLH līmeņa pazemināšanu vismaz par 50%. Mērķis: Analizēt lipīdu mērķa līmeņu sasniegšanas biežumu – ZBLH <1,8 mmol/L un ne - ABLH <2,6 mmol/L, un analizēt lipīdus pazeminošo līdzekļu (LPL) lietošanu starp pacientiem ar ļoti a…
Effects of progressive aquatic resistance training on symptoms and quality of life in women with knee osteoarthritis: A secondary analysis.
2020
Abstract Objective: To conduct a secondary analysis to study the effects, those 4 months of aquatic resistance training have on self‐assessed symptoms and quality of life in post‐menopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis (OA), after the intervention and after a 12‐month follow‐up period. Methods: A total of 87 post‐menopausal volunteer women, aged 60‐68 years, with mild knee OA were recruited in a randomized, controlled, 4‐month aquatic training trial (RCT) and randomly assigned to an intervention (n = 43) and a control (n = 44) group. The intervention group participated in 48 supervised aquatic resistance training sessions over 4 months while the control group maintained their usual l…
Analytical results for 2-D non-rectilinear waveguides based on a Green's function
2008
We consider the problem of wave propagation for a 2-D rectilinear optical waveguide which presents some perturbation. We construct a mathematical framework to study such a problem and prove the existence of a solution for the case of small imperfections. Our results are based on the knowledge of a Green's function for the rectilinear case.
Non-Hermiticity in Quantum Physics
2022
The field of non-Hermitian Physics has attracted great attention over the last 23years, both from the in the physical and mathematical communities. From the physical point of view, non-Hermiticity was regarded as a phenomenological tool to describe open quantum systems. Besides this, the rising interest in this field comes especially from the possible exploitation of exceptional points for quantum technologies, and from the exotic topology arising in periodic non-Hermitian systems, connected to the so called non-Hermitian skin effect. From the mathematical point of view, the range of possible topics to investigate has been wide open, as dropping an hypothesis of a theory makes the mathemati…
Flexible and Efficient Computer-Aided Design Tool for Advanced Comb-Line Rectangular Waveguide Filters
2015
A very flexible and efficient computer-aided design (CAD) tool, specifically suited for advanced comb-line rectangular waveguide filters, is presented in this work. The developed software tool, which makes use of a full-wave analysis technique based on the Boundary Integral - Resonant Mode Expansion method, permits to load the considered comb-line resonators with any number of radially symmetrical partial-height metallic posts. The implemented CAD tool also allows for dealing with coupling windows of arbitrary cross-section, thus drastically enhancing the flexibility of the computer-aided design process. The excitation of the analyzed components, which is performed by using generalized coax…
Meeting the WHO 24-h guidelines among 2–6-year-old children by family socioeconomic status before and during the COVID-19 pandemic : a repeated cross…
2023
Background The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed guidelines for 24-h physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour and sleep for young children. Lower socioeconomic status (SES) has been linked to a lower likelihood of meeting these guidelines. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) raised concerns about young children’s opportunities to meet the guidelines. The study focused on the prevalence of meeting the WHO’s 24-h guidelines on screen time (ST), PA and sleep among 2–6-year-old children, in association with family SES, before COVID-19 outbreak in 2019, and during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021 in Finland. Methods Data were collected at three timepoints by an o…
