Factores familiares y neuropsicológicos: implicaciones en los problemas de conducta y sociales de niños con TDAH
2013
El trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) persiste hasta la adolescencia y la vida adulta, y se encuentra frecuentemente asociado a otros problemas y trastornos comórbidos que conjuntamente presentan repercusiones negativas a lo largo del ciclo vital. Dentro de este marco, se comprende la necesidad de realizar estudios longitudinales para conocer de forma precisa el curso del TDAH así como los diferentes factores que pueden afectar al mismo. El objetivo principal de este este estudio de seguimiento consistió en analizar las implicaciones de factores neuropsicológicos y factores del clima familiar en el curso de los problemas de conducta y sociales de niños con TDAH y en…
Depressive symptoms and long-term income: The Young Finns Study
2016
Abstract Background Higher depressive symptoms have been associated with lower future income. However, studies examining this issue have had limited follow-up times and have used self-reported measures of income. Also, possible confounders or mediators have not been accounted. Methods 971 women and 738 men were selected from the ongoing prospective Young Finns Study (YFS) that began in 1980. Depressive symptoms were measured in 1992 when participants were from 15 to 30 years old. Information on annual income and earnings from 1993 to 2010 were obtained from the Finnish Longitudinal Employer-Employee Data (FLEED) of Statistics Finland and linked to the YFS. Results Higher depressive symptoms…
Income and Physical Activity among Adults: Evidence from Self-Reported and Pedometer-Based Physical Activity Measurements
2015
This study examined the relationship between income and physical activity by using three measures to illustrate daily physical activity: the self-reported physical activity index for leisure-time physical activity, pedometer-based total steps for overall daily physical activity, and pedometer-based aerobic steps that reflect continuous steps for more than 10 min at a time. The study population consisted of 753 adults from Finland (mean age 41.7 years; 64% women) who participated in 2011 in the follow-up of the ongoing Young Finns study. Ordinary least squares models were used to evaluate the associations between income and physical activity. The consistency of the results was explored by us…
Alternative measures of body composition and wage premium: New evidence from Indonesia
2019
This paper examines the relationship between body composition and earnings in a developing country setting. We use body mass index, waist circumference and hip circumference. Exploiting the panel structure of our longitudinal survey, we find that along with BMI, waist circumference is related to higher earnings in Indonesia. peerReviewed
Two-particle transverse momentum correlations in pp and p-Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
2023
Two-particle transverse momentum differential correlators, recently measured in Pb--Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), provide an additional tool to gain insights into particle production mechanisms and infer transport properties, such as the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density, of the medium created in Pb-Pb collisions. The longitudinal long-range correlations and the large azimuthal anisotropy measured at low transverse momenta in small collision systems, namely pp and p-Pb, at LHC energies resemble manifestations of collective behaviour. This suggests that locally equilibrated matter may be produced in these small collision systems, simil…
Maslachin yleisen työuupumuksen arviointimenetelmän (MBI-GS) rakenne ja pysyvyys: pitkittäistutkimus kuntoutusasiakkaiden keskuudessa
2012
Tämän pitkittäistutkimuksen tavoitteena on tarkastella Maslachin yleisen työuupumuksen arviointimenetelmän (MBI-GS) rakennetta ja sen ajallista pysyvyyttä. MBI-GS on kansainvälisesti tunnetuin ja käytetyin työuupumuskysely, mutta sen aikaisempi tutkimus on rajoittunut poikkileikkausasetelmiin sekä työtekijäaineistoihin, joissa työuupumusoireilu on ollut vähäistä. Tämän tutkimuksen aineisto koostuu työntekijöistä, jotka ovat hakeutuneet kuntoutukseen erilaisten työhön liittyvien terveys- ja hyvinvointiongelmien vuoksi. Kuntoutujat täyttivät MBI-GS-työuupumuskyselyn kuntoutukseen tullessa (T1 n = 155) sekä 4 kuukautta tämän jälkeen (T2 n = 140). Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittivat, että MBI-GS- m…
Search for photons with energies above 1018 eV using the hybrid detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
2017
A search for ultra-high energy photons with energies above 1 EeV is performed using nine years of data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory in hybrid operation mode. An unprecedented separation power between photon and hadron primaries is achieved by combining measurements of the longitudinal air-shower development with the particle content at ground measured by the fluorescence and surface detectors, respectively. Only three photon candidates at energies 1-2 EeV are found, which is compatible with the expected hadron-induced background. Upper limits on the integral flux of ultra-high energy photons of 0.027, 0.009, 0.008, 0.008 and 0.007 km-2 sr-1 yr-1 are derived at 95% C.L. for ener…
Measuring territory student-attractiveness in Italy. Longitudinal evidence
2016
The aim of this paper is to investigate the factors affecting university student mobility in Italy in a longitudinal perspective, by considering the flows across competing territorial areas supplying tertiary education programs. The Bradley-Terry modelling approach based on pair comparisons has been adopted to define the attractiveness of competing territories and a range of determinants related to the socio-economic characteristics of the areas as well as universities’ resources. Data released by the Italian Ministry of Education (MiUR) are analysed for the academic years 2010/2011-2014/2015. The modelling approach considers score values for each territory and year, allowing to evaluate wh…
Does goal orientation relate to changes in sports club participation from adolescence to early adulthood?
2022
Background Sports club participation begins to decrease in adolescence. There is a lack of knowledge, how sports club participation changes from adolescence to early adulthood in Finland, and how goal orientation influences on it. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine if goal orientation is associated to changes in sports club participation during afore mentioned critical years. Methods The study design is longitudinal. A sample of 366 (140 boys, 226 girls) adolescents were followed from age 15 (year 2014) to age 19 (year 2018). Sports club participation (yes/no) and goal orientation (no competitive goal, sports for hobby or physical development/regional, national or international …
Contrasts in fitness, motor competence and physical activity among children involved in single or multiple sports
2021
Abstract Study aim: While there is wide debate around specialization in one sport, there is a lack of information about fitness levels and motor competence of children participating in single or multiple sports. Material and methods: The study involved 358 fifth-grade children who participated in a set of health-related fitness and motor competence tests over two consecutive years. A subsample of children (n = 109) wore an accelerometer for seven consecutive days. The independent samples t-test and ANCOVA were used to compare differences between single and multi-sport participants in study variables and changes between baseline and follow-up. Results: Multi-sport participants performed bett…
