School burnout and engagement profiles among digital natives in Finland: a person-oriented approach
2016
AbstractApplying a person-oriented approach, this study set out to examine what profiles of school engagement and school burnout (i.e., exhaustion, cynicism, inadequacy) can be identified among elementary school children at age 12, a generation also often referred to as the generation of digital natives. We compared the group memberships in their use of socio-digital technologies and related functioning as we expected to find a gap between some digital natives and current educational practices which do not include socio-digital technology in feelings of cynicism towards school. Latent profile analysis identified five groups: Engaged (50%) students, who formed the majority; Stressed (4%) stu…
Effect of an insect growth regulator (halofenozide) on the cuticular hydrocarbons of Culex pipiens larvae
2013
The cuticular hydrocarbons of the fourth-instar larvae of Culex pipiens aged one and six days were analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The effect of an insect growth regulator (halofenozide = RH-0345) on the cuticular hydrocarbons was evaluated using newly moulted fourth-instar larvae of C. pipiens, at the lethal concentrations (LC50 = 12.58 and LC90 = 28.58 mu g/l). A previous study revealed that RH-0345 is toxic to larvae of C. pipiens by induction of precocious larval moulting. Several cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) were identified and many of the other compounds remained unknown. Our data show that the CHC classes consisted of n-alkanes (C23-C29) and …
Perceived motor competence in early childhood predicts perceived and actual motor competence in middle childhood
2023
The study aims were to (1) identify perceived motor competence (PMC) and actual motor competence (AMC) profiles in children at two time points (early and middle childhood) 3 years apart, (2) explore transitions between the profiles from T1 to T2, and (3) investigate how PMC-AMC profiles at T1 differ in their mean values for AMC and PMC variables at T2. PMC was assessed by the pictorial scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence for young children (PMSC). At T1, AMC was measured with Test of Gross Motor Development–third version (TGMD-3), and at T2, a shortened TGMD-3 was used. To identify the PMC-AMC profiles using latent profile analysis, the Mplus statistical package (version 8.7) was u…
Adolescents’ Stress and Depressive symptoms and Their Associations with Psychological Flexibility before Educational Transition
2023
Introduction: Relatively little is known about individual differences in adolescent psychological flexibility and its associations with symptoms of stress and depression. This study examined different profiles of adolescent stress and depressive symptoms and their associations with developing psychological flexibility before the critical educational transition. Methods: The data were derived from a general sample of 740 Finnish ninth-grade adolescents (Mage = 15.7 years, 57% female) who were assessed twice during the final grade of their basic education. The data were analyzed using growth mixture modeling. Results: Four profiles of stress and depressive symptoms were identified during a sc…
Individual Differences Facing the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Age, Gender, Personality, and Positive Psychology
2021
Research on individual differences in facing the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be crucial in order to design diverse and highly effective intervention strategies. This study uses a sample of 302 North American participants who were recruited through the crowdsourcing platform ProA; different profiles were established, profiling variables of interest in facing the COVID-19 outbreak. Socio-demographic and psychological (personality traits, gratitude, life purpose, and religiosity) variables were explored. These results are of interest if we want to deepen the study of individual differences at both a theoretical and applied level.
Institutional perspectives in transition : research groups’ profiles and embeddedness in organisational and national context
2019
Research into differentiation and profiling of knowledge producing institutions through the lenses of institutional logics and field embeddedness have proliferated in recent years. By discussing this process in the context of research groups, as those basic units in which knowledge production epistemically and practically takes place, this article offers a contribution to the theoretical discussion on organisational differentiation. Based on a small-N comparative case study of research groups operating in different national and organisational contexts on a single, highly competitive and interdisciplinary applied sciences field, nanosciences, the article proposes research group profiles as h…

STIMA DEI PROFILI DI VELOCITA’ DEI FLUSSI IPERCONCENTRATI: analisi di sensitività sui parametri dell’equazione di Bagnold.
2017
Nel presente lavoro l'attenzione è focalizzata sulla dinamica di propagazione delle colate detritiche, fenomeni naturali di elevata pericolosità e forza distruttiva. Com’è noto, una colata detritica si verifica quando il materiale solido (sedimenti e materiale sciolto) di versanti caratterizzati da elevate pendenze viene destabilizzato dal deflusso di ingente volume d’acqua. Durante la propagazione della miscela acqua-sedimento, elementi anche di elevata dimensione (massi, alberi,..) possono essere mobilitati aumentando la forza distruttiva della colata con conseguenti possibili ingenti danni a edifici e infrastrutture, perdita di vite umane e ostruzioni (parziali o totali) dei corsi d’acqu…
I provvedimenti temporanei ed urgenti nei confronti dei coniugi e dei figli
2022
Il contributo analizza i profili di diritto sostanziale dei provvedimenti temporanei ed urgenti assunti dal Presidente del tribunale nella separazione personale dei coniugi nei confronti degli sposi e della prole in vista del loro interesse, distinguendo, ove possibile, gli aspetti di natura personale da quelli di natura squisitamente patrimoniale. The essay analyzes the substantive law profiles of the temporary and urgent measures taken by the President of the court in the personal separation of the spouses against the spouses and their children in view of their interests, distinguishing, where possible, the personal aspects from those of exquisitely patrimonial nature.
