Bullying in Students Who Stutter: The Role of the Quality of the Student–Teacher Relationship and Student’s Social Status in the Peer Group
2020
Children who stutter are at risk of being excluded, rejected, or bullied at school because of their impairment. The aim of the current research is to assess the relationship between students and te...
Predictor variables for half marathon race time in recreational female runners
2011
Import JabRef | WosArea General and Internal Medicine; International audience; INTRODUCTION: The relationship between skin-fold thickness and running performance has been investigated from 100 m to the marathon distance, except the half marathon distance. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether anthropometry characteristics or training practices were related to race time in 42 recreational female half marathoners to determine the predictor variables of half-marathon race time and to inform future novice female half marathoners. METHODS: Observational field study at the 'Half Marathon Basel' in Switzerland. RESULTS: In the bivariate analysis, body mass (r = 0.60), body mass index (r = 0.48), body …
VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION AND NUMBER OF NON COMPACTED SEGMENTS IN NON COMPACTION: NON-INDEPENDENT PREDICTORS
2009
VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION AND NUMBER OF NON COMPACTED SEGMENTS IN NON COMPACTION: NON-INDEPENDENT PREDICTORS BACKGROUND: Isolated ventricular noncompaction (IVNC) is characterized by multiple prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. Some reports prove that the chronic heart failure may occur in approximately half of the patients. In this report we investigate the correlation between the number of non compacted segments and entity of systolic dysfunction from the registry and subregistries of the SIEC. METHOD: To identify the correlation between ventricular dysfunction and number of segments involved in non compaction we evaluated a consecutive series of 238 patients affecte…
The Perception and Attitudes Towards City Garbage Management: A First Analysis
2017
The main aim of this paper is to to explore the perception and attitude of people toward an important issue like the City Garbage Management. A new Survey Questionnaire to measure the perception and attitudes towards city garbage management has been developed by the Authors, in order to realize a very first analysis of compatibility of the Comprehensive Action Determination Model - CADM (Klöckner, 2013) with City Garbage Management issues. To test the application of the CADM model to City Garbage Management, a simple linear regression was calculated to predict the dependent variables based on predictor variables according the CADM model. The linear regression analysis shows a first confirma…
The association between mathematical word problems and reading comprehension
2008
This study aimed to investigate the interplay between mathematical word problem skills and reading comprehension. The participants were 225 children aged 9–10 (Grade 4). The children’s text comprehension and mathematical word problem‐solving performance was tested. Technical reading skills were investigated in order to categorise participants as good or poor readers. The results showed that performance on maths word problems was strongly related to performance in reading comprehension. Fluent technical reading abilities increased the aforementioned skills. However, even after controlling for the level of technical reading involved, performance in maths word problems was still related to rea…

Predictors for Therapy Response to Intrathecal Corticosteroid Therapy in Multiple Sclerosis
2019
\(\bf Objective:\) The autoimmune disease Multiple Sclerosis (MS) represents a heterogeneous disease pattern with an individual course that may lead to permanent disability. In addition to immuno-modulating therapies patients benefit from symptomatic approaches like intrathecal corticosteroid therapy (ICT), which is frequently applied in a growing number of centers in Germany. ICT reduces spasticity, which elongates patient's walking distance and speed, thus improves quality of life. \(\bf Methods:\) In our study we set out to investigate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) parameters and clinical predictors for response to ICT. Therefore, we analyzed 811 CSF samples collected from 354 patients over …
High‐resolution 3D forest structure explains ecomorphological trait variation in assemblages of saproxylic beetles
2022
1. Climate, topography and the 3D structure of forests are major drivers affecting local species communities. However, little is known about how the specific functional traits of saproxylic (wood-living) beetles, involved in the recycling of wood, might be affected by those environmental characteristics. 2. Here, we combine ecological and morphological traits available for saproxylic beetles and airborne laser scanning (ALS) data in Bayesian trait-based joint species distribution models to study how traits drive the distributions of more than 230 species in temperate forests of Europe. 3. We found that elevation (as a proxy for temperature and precipitation) and the proportion of conifers p…
Neurorehabilitación en pacientes mayores con ictus subagudo : factores predictores, niveles de recuperación y relación entre distintas escalas de val…
2014
INTRODUCCIÓN Se han detectado ciertas regularidades en el patrón de recuperación de los pacientes con secuelas de ictus. Se han identificado también múltiples factores predictores de su recuperación. Además del uso de las escalas de valoración como herramientas predictivas, la literatura insiste en la definición de niveles de recuperación a través de dichas escalas. OBJETIVOS -Comprobar la evolución temporal de la mejora en pacientes mayores con ictus sometidos a un programa interdisciplinar de neurorehabilitación. -Identificar factores relacionados con el estado de salud al ingreso así como aquellos influyentes sobre el grado y ritmo de la recuperación. -Determinar puntos de corte de inter…
Evolución de los factores implicados en la adquisición y desarrollo de la lectoescritura en niños de 4 a 7 años y su relación con dos métodos de ense…
2016
En el presente trabajo se ha llevado a cabo un análisis de la evolución de los factores implicados en la adquisición y desarrollo de la lectoescritura y su relación con dos métodos de enseñanza de la lectura (fonológico- sintético y global). En él se trata de dar respuesta a cuestiones tales como si las diferentes funciones ejecutivas responsables de la lectura tienen el mismo grado de implicación tanto en las primeras fases del aprendizaje lector como en las de madurez lectora, o si por el contrario algunas funciones tienen más peso en las primeras fases y van perdiendo su importancia a medida que avanza el aprendizaje lector. Por otro lado, también se pretende identificar qué funciones se…
