Effects of medication, treatment, and behavioral beliefs on intentions to take medication in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia
2018
Background and aims Although familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) can be effectively managed using cholesterol-lowering medication, patients often fall short of complete treatment adherence. Identifying the psychological factors associated with self-regulation of FH medication is important to inform interventions to maximize adherence. The aim of the present study was to test an integrated psychological model in predicting FH patients' intentions to take medication. Methods FH patients attending clinics in seven countries were invited to participate in a cross-sectional survey study. Consenting patients (N = 551) completed self-report measures of generalized beliefs about medication overuse a…
The common sense model of illness self-regulation : a conceptual review and proposed extended model
2021
The common sense model of illness self-regulation outlines the dynamic processes by which individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to health threats and illness-related information. An extended version of the model is proposed, which specifies additional constructs and processes to explain how lay perceptions of health threats impact coping responses and health-related outcomes. The extended model provides detail on: (a) the mediating process by which individuals’ illness representations relate to illness outcomes through adoption of coping procedures; (b) how illness representations are activated by presentation of health-threatening stimuli; (c) behavioral and treatment beliefs as det…
Structural factors in preschool children's emotional expression in music
2011
Recent studies have substantiated that preschool children are able to perceive the emotional meaning in music. However, to date, research has not paid enough attention to children’s emotional expression in music. The current study investigated 3- (N=18) and 5- (N=19) year-old children’s ability to express emotion with music by manipulating musical factors (pitch, loudness and tempo) to indicate one of three basic emotions (happiness, sadness or angriness). In order to facilitate the recognition of emotions three images of faces were presented representing target emotions. Three musical pieces differing in terms of emotional quality were presented in random order and participants were asked …
Salt release and perception in model cheeses are influenced by salt/fat contents, microstructure and salt mobility
2013
Introduction and objectivesThe health authorities recommend a reduction in salt (NaCl) and fat contents of foodstuff. Reducing such components without affecting acceptability is a major challenge, particularly because of the interactions with other ingredients such as aroma compounds. This study consisted in a multimodal approach to understand the effect of changes in composition of model cheeses on the mobility and release of sodium chloride, masticatory behaviour and saltiness perception.MethodologySix model cheeses have been formulated (three fat/protein contents, two NaCl contents). The rheological properties were analysed using uniaxial compression tests. Microstructure and homogeneity…

Being Carried Away : Fink and Winnicott on the Locus of Playing
2021
Abstract The article investigates the question of the experiential location of the area of play, comparing the accounts of Eugen Fink and Donald Winnicott. It argues that while Fink builds on the phenomenological distinction between subjective phantasy and external perception, and accordingly introduces the area of play as a hybrid realm, a peculiar combination of the two, Winnicott considers the area of play as something that underlies and developmentally precedes the experiential differentiation between phantasy and external reality. While from Fink’s viewpoint Winnicott’s model neglects a central phenomenological distinction, from Winnicott’s viewpoint Fink’s account, in turn, appears ad…
Prospective elementary teachers’ perceptions of the processes of modeling: A case study
2012
In this paper we discuss a study on the approaches to modeling of students of the 4-year elementary school teacher program at the University of Palermo, Italy. The answers to a specially designed questionnaire are analyzed on the basis of an a priori analysis made using a general scheme of reference on the epistemology of mathematics and physics. The study is performed by using quantitative data analysis methods, i.e. factorial analysis of the correspondences and implicative analysis. A qualitative analysis of key words and terms used by students during interviews is also used to examine some aspects that emerged from the quantitative analysis. The students have been classified on the basis…
Effects of menu structure and touch screen scrolling style on the variability of glance durations during in-vehicle visual search tasks.
2011
The effects of alternative navigation device display features on drivers' visual sampling efficiency while searching forpoints of interest were studied in two driving simulation experiments with 40 participants. Given that the number of display items was sufficient, display features that facilitate resumption of visual search following interruptions were expected to lead to more consistent in-vehicle glance durations. As predicted, compared with a grid-style menu, searching information in a list-style menu while driving led to smaller variance in durations of in-vehicle glances, in particular with nine item displays. Kinetic touch screen scrolling induced a greater number of very short in-v…
Du gommage de l’infinitif dans la traduction polonaise de l’infinitive de Compte rendu de Perception (ICP): entre grammaire style et representation d…
2021
The study subject are Polish translations of the French structure NP1 + voir + NP2 + infinitive; we reject cases where the NP1 is represented by the pronoun on, and concentrate on translations in which the infinitive is not rendered. The analysis is based on the corpus of texts embracing 58 pairs of examples, each of which contains a French sentence with the investigated construction and a Polish sentence with its equivalent. Our aim is to identify factors which make translators erase the French infinitive. The conducted analysis reveals that the avoided infinitives belong to two groups: appearance verbs and dynamic position verbs; the most frequent are surgir (‘appear suddenly’), arriver (…
"#Dontstayinschool" : learner perceptions on the connection between listening to extramural music in English and different areas of English skills
2015
Vapaa-aikana tapahtuva kielenoppiminen on yhä suuremmassa roolissa nykyaikana. Sitä on jo jonkin verran tutkittu, mutta tutkimus on pääasiallisesti ollut kaikki vapaa-ajan aktiviteetit huomioon ottavaa, eikä siinä täten ole keskitytty tarkemmin tiettyyn aktiviteettiin kuten musiikkiin. Englanninkielinen musiikki on yleisesti ottaen dominoivassa asemassa markkinoilla Suomessa, ja musiikin kuuntelu tarjoaa oppimiseen paljon myös muita kuin auditiivisia mahdollisuuksia, sillä on normaalia että sitä kuunneltaessa nähdään myös lyriikoita videolta tai lauletaan mukana. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoite oli selvittää suomalaisten nuorten englanninkielisen musiikin päivittäisiä kuuntelutottumuksia sekä akt…
