Clinical reasoning and critical reflection in physiotherapists’ examinations of patients with low back pain in its early phase : a qualitative study …
2017
Aim: The aim of this study was to deepen the current understanding of physiotherapists’ decision-making process and more specifically, to investigate their reflections on their clinical reasoning when examining low back pain patients. Method: Data were collected in interviews with six physiotherapists, were the stimulated recall method was used. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed and then analysed by content analysis. Results: Physiotherapists critically analysed and reflected their choices and decisions in clinical reasoning with patient’s symptoms, onset of pain, clinical test choices and results. They stopped to consider the adequacy of tests for drawing conclusions and their…
The challenge of using the rheumatoid arthritis diagnostic criteria in clinical practice.
2015
The new 2010 ACR/EULAR (American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism) criteria of Rheumatoid Arthritis recently published, have been released to classify and identify patients with early RA who could benefit from early therapy. They recommend anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) testing as an alternative criterion to Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and ACPA that were introduced together with the other classic criteria in a scoring system. We previously criticized these new criteria because of unavailable specificity and sensibility in the first paper, and the use of ACPA as dichotomous criterion (presence/absent) and alternatives to rheumatoid factor. Our previous work p…

Normativity, moral realism, and unmasking explanations
2004
Moral Projectivism must be able to specify under what conditions a certain inner response counts as a moral response. I argue, however, that moral projectivists cannot coherently do so because they must assume that there are moral properties in the world in order to fix the content of our moral judgements. To show this, I develop a number of arguments against moral dispositionalism, which is, nowadays, the most prom- ising version of moral projectivism. In this context, I call into question both David Lewis' dispositionalist account of colour and Chistine Korsgaard's procedural realism.
Teaching Early Mathematical Skills to 3- to 7-Year-Old Children — Differences Related to Mathematical Skill Category, Children’s Age Group and Teache…
2022
Abstract This study explored teaching early mathematical skills to 3- to 7-year-old children in early childhood education and care (ECEC) and pre-primary education. Teachers in ECEC (N = 206) answered a web survey. The first aim was to determine whether teaching frequency or pedagogical awareness of teaching early mathematical skills varied according to the category of skills (numerical skills, spatial thinking skills and mathematical thinking and reasoning skills) and whether children’s age group moderated these differences. The second aim was to explore to what extent teacher-related characteristics and children’s age group explained variations in teaching frequency concerning early mathe…
Reasons for Exercise Inventory koulukyselyssä : mittarin reliabiliteetti- ja rakennevaliditeettitarkastelua
2005
Tässä artikkelissa raportoidaan aikuisille kehitetyn Reasons for exercise inventory:n (REI) käyttökokeilua yläkoululaisilla. Mittaria esitestattiin WHO-Koululaistutkimuksen vuoden 2006 kyselyä varten osana esi- ja luotettavuustutkimusta, joka toteutettiin Itä- ja Länsi-Suomen lääneissä helmikuussa 2005. Oppilaat täyttivät kaksi samansisältöistä kyselyä kahden viikon välein. REI-mittarin väittämiin vastasi 194 seitsemäs- ja yhdeksäsluokkalaista peruskoululaista. REI-mittarin pysyvyyttä arvioitiin testi-uusintatesti-korrelaatioiden (Intraclass-korrelaatiokerroin, Spearmanin järjestyskorrelaatio, Pearsonin tulomomenttikorrelaatio) avulla. Pääkomponenttianalyysin avulla saaduista liikuntasyiden…
Visual cues improve students’ understanding of divergence and curl: Evidence from eye movements during reading and problem solving
2019
The coordination of multiple external representations is important for learning, but yet a difficult task for students, requiring instructional support. The subject in this study covers a typical relation in physics between abstract mathematical equations (definitions of divergence and curl) and a visual representation (vector field plot). To support the connection across both representations, two instructions with written explanations, equations, and visual representations (differing only in the presence of visual cues) were designed and their impact on students’ performance was tested. We captured students’ eye movements while they processed the written instruction and solved subsequent c…
El principio de proporcionalidad como criterio hermenéutico en la justicia constitucional
2011
RESUMEN. La presente contribución realiza un análisis crítico sobre la aplicación judicial del principio de proporcionalidad para la concretización del contenido material de los derechos fundamentales, en contraposición a las posturas divergentes, que señalan que este instrumento ha traído inseguridad al plano de la interpretación constitucional, dada la visión de los derechos fundamentales como principios y de establecer una jerarquía axiológica movediza, además de inestabilidad e imprevisibilidad a la solución del mismo conflicto en casos futuros. La visión que ofrecemos sitúa al principio de proporcionalidad como un instrumento de la hermenéutica constitucional, capaz de brindar una fund…
Diskriminierung von Senioren – Fakten über und Wege für das würdige altern
2018
Obecne stulecie przedstawiane jest często jako wiek starzenia się. Nieproporcjonalne zwiększanie się grupy ludzi starych, do prawie jednej czwartej społeczeństwa niesie ze sobą nie tylko dumę z osiągnięć medycyny przedłużającej życie, lecz także negatywne trendy społeczne. Postępujące procesy, które zostały już określone jako „desolidaryzacja międzygeneracyjna”, znajdują swój wyraz także w bardzo negatywnych zjawiskach, wśród których na znaczenia nabiera dyskryminacja osób starszych. Bazujące na stereotypach i uprzedzeniach negatywne nastawienie do najstarszej części społeczeństwa budzi niepokój i domaga się poszukiwania dróg wyjścia. W niniejszym opracowaniu na podstawie analizy polskojęzy…
Automated Checking of Flexible Mathematical Reasoning in the Case of Systems of (In)Equations and the Absolute Value Operator
2021
We present an approach and a tool for automatically providing feedback on solutions that involve complicated reasoning patterns. Currently the tool supports linear systems of equations and inequations that may also contain the absolute value operator and a restricted form of rational functions. This suffices for designing problems that are laborious to solve with standard mechanical procedures, but much easier using short-cuts that students may find by creative thinking. Earlier research has found that struggling with important mathematics promotes conceptual development. Our goal is to encourage students to such struggling. A crucial feature is to give them great freedom to choose the path…
