Stable same-sex friendships with higher achieving partners promote mathematical reasoning in lower achieving primary school children
2015
This study is designed to investigate friend influence over mathematical reasoning in a sample of 374 children in 187 same-sex friend dyads (184 girls in 92 friendships; 190 boys in 95 friendships). Participants completed surveys that measured mathematical reasoning in the 3rd grade (approximately 9 years old) and one year later in the 4th grade (approximately 10 years old). Analyses designed for dyadic data (i.e., longitudinal Actor-Partner Interdependence Models) indicated that higher achieving friends influenced the mathematical reasoning of lower achieving friends, but not the reverse. Specifically, greater initial levels of mathematical reasoning among higher achieving partners in the …
Second-hand smoke exposure in 4-year-old children in Spain: Sources, associated factors and urinary cotinine

A comparison of physical activity levels in childcare contexts among Finnish and Dutch three-year-olds
2016
The aim of the current study was to determine Finnish and Dutch three-year-old preschool children's physical activity (PA) levels and how levels vary across gender, location, time of day and social contexts in both countries. A modified version of the Observational System for Recording Physical Activity in Children-Preschool (OSRAC-P) was used to measure children's PA levels and contextual variables (e.g. group composition, prompts) of children attending childcare centres in Finland and the Netherlands. In total, 90 Finnish children (46 boys and 44 girls) and 97 Dutch children (46 boys and 51 girls) were observed. Three-level linear regression analyses with cross level interactions were use…

Sakodiena un oromiofunkcionālo traucējumu saistība pirmsskolas vecuma bērniem Latvijā
2019
Priekšvēsture: Orofaciālā mioloģija ir zinātne par sejas un orofaciālā kompleksa muskuļu normālu un patoloģisku darbību un to saistību ar sakodienu un runu. “Orofaciālā kompleksa miofunkcionālie traucējumi” (OMT) ietekmē mutes dobuma stāvokli un to saistību ar dažādiem fizioloģiskiem un psiholoģiskiem faktoriem. Infantila rīšana, mutes elpošana, pirkstu vai knupja ilgstoša sūkāšana, nagu graušana un zobu griešana ir daži no galvenajiem pētītajiem sliktajiem ieradumiem (Hanson & Mason, 2003). Ir izpētīts, ka tādi ieradumi kā ilgstošas elpceļu saslimšanas, infantila rīšana, mēles parafunkcija ir saistīti ar orofaciālā kompleksa disfunkcijām (Bahreman, 2013). Mērķis: Pētījums par okluzālo atra…
Asthma diagnosis in infants and preschool children: a systematic review of clinical guidelines.
2019
Background and aim: The definition and diagnosis of asthma are the subject of controversy that is particularly intense in the case of individuals in the first years of life, due to reasons such as the difficulty of performing objective pulmonary function tests or the high frequency with which the symptoms subside in the course of childhood. Since there is no consensus regarding the diagnosis of asthma in preschool children, a systematic review has been carried out. Materials and methods: A systematic search was made of the clinical guidelines published in the last 10 years and containing information referred to the concept or diagnosis of asthma in childhood - including the first years of l…
