Convenience Behavior and Being Overweight in Adults: Development and Validation of the Convenience Behavior Questionnaire
2019
The etiology of overweight and obesity is a mixture of genetic determinants, environmental factors, and health behaviors. Especially intra- and interpersonal inactive behaviors, here termed convenience, seems to play an important role. The objective was to develop and validate the Convenience Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ) to assess convenience-related items and their association with overweight and obesity in a large population. A sample of 1233 subjects aged 18–82 years from six population groups took part in a self-administered questionnaire. Test-retest reliability was estimated and the independent association between convenience-related items and overweight and obesity was investigated. …
Immediacy and distance in teacher talk—A comparative case study in German elementary- and outdoor school-teaching
2017
This case study examines authentic speech acts by a German primary school teacher in the classroom context and the outdoor learning location of a forest. The study will compare the degree of linguistic immediacy or distance in these two contexts, respectively. Once a week, the class is doing “outdoor school” [Draußenschule] in places of natural or cultural interest near to their school. The structural change in the teaching environment means a change in the communication setting. The question arises if the teacher speaks to the students differently indoors than outdoors. The theoretical reference framework for the study is provided by the linguistic model “language of immediacy and language…

Le non-public et la culture. Une étude de cas en banlieue
2012
Photographic exhibitions are organized since 2004 on the banks of the river Marne at Fleury-la-Rivière within the context of an annual event --the Festival de l'Oh!, initiated by the conseil général of the Val-de-Marne. This type of exhibition does not succeed in attracting the "non-public". The representations held by the people concerned can block their interaction with the works presented on such a public space. This study is part of an on-going general study of the non-public and its relation to culture. This is a qualitative study carried out in various "stops" of the Festival de l'Oh! The paper is only concerned with immigrants met in housing estates in the upper districts of Fleury.
Utebarnehager – et sted for demokratisk praksis?
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Nordisk barnehageforskning. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.nordiskbarnehageforskning.no/ Open access The questions in the title is posed to discuss how an outdoor kindergarten space is contextualized and understood by those who are staying there. Nature is often seen as an especially open space, free from strong guidelines and structures. Being part of an educational practice gives the place new structures. The activities the children participate in and the employees expressed attitudes and practices are part of different discourses, which give certain limits or possibilities for what is going on at the Hut, and thus influenc…
Enhancing Children’s Outdoor Learning Experiences with a Mobile Application
2015
This paper examines how a mobile learning application can enhance children’s outdoor learning experiences. The study draws upon empirical evidence gathered in one case study conducted in a Finnish primary school setting in the fall of 2012. The data were collected with student and teacher surveys. The case study indicated that the mobile application provided children with tangible, motivating, and educative experiences. The mobile application also clearly encouraged social interaction. In addition, the case study highlighted the significance of pedagogy. Thus the appropriate way to utilize mobile applications in an educational context requires a balance in which the technology use is comple…
Unpacking Relational Dignity: In Pursuit of an Ethic of Care for Outdoor Therapies
2022
Dignity is a universal principle that requires us to treat every person as having worth beyond who a particular person is or what they do. Dignity is a complex and sometimes contested idea, that at times can be compromised in health care and allegedly also within the practice of outdoor therapy. Outdoor therapies comprise a range of therapeutic approaches including nature-based therapy, adventure therapy, animal-assisted therapy, forest therapy, wilderness therapy, surf therapy, and more. Within the literature of outdoor therapies there has been limited research on ethics related to common understandings of care concepts such as relational dignity and human rights. The aim of this paper is …
Neighborhood Mobility and Unmet Physical Activity Need in Old Age: A 2-Year Follow-Up
2020
Background: Many older people report a willingness to increase outdoor physical activity (PA), but no opportunities for it, a situation termed as unmet PA need. The authors studied whether lower neighborhood mobility and PA precede the development of unmet PA need. Methods: Community-dwelling 75- to 90-year-old people (n = 700) were interviewed annually for 2 years. Unmet PA need, neighborhood mobility, and PA were self-reported. In addition, accelerometer-based step counts were assessed among a subgroup (n = 156). Results: Logistic regression analyses revealed that lower baseline neighborhood mobility (odds ratio 3.02, 95% confidence interval [1.86, 4.90] vs. daily) and PA (odds ratio 4.37…
