Behavioural and emotional strengths of sociometrically popular, rejected, controversial, neglected, and average children
2019
Many behavioural and emotional characteristics are associated with children’s peer relationships. The purpose of this study is to examine behavioural and emotional strengths of sociometrically popular, rejected, controversial, neglected, and average children. 773 third-grade children (51% girls) are assessed with a sociometric questionnaire and self-evaluations of their behavioural and emotional strengths and difficulties. Teacher evaluations are also used to assess the children’s academic competencies and behaviour. Univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to analyse the data. Results indicate that children in the popular status group assess their behavioural and emotional strengths…
Selective breeding for endurance running capacity affects cognitive but not motor learning in rats
2012
The ability to utilize oxygen has been shown to affect a wide variety of physiological factors often considered beneficial for survival. As the ability to learn can be seen as one of the core factors of survival in mammals, we studied whether selective breeding for endurance running, an indication of aerobic capacity, also has an effect on learning. Rats selectively bred over 23 generations for their ability to perform forced treadmill running were trained in an appetitively motivated discrimination-reversal classical conditioning task, an alternating T-maze task followed by a rule change (from a shift-win to stay-win rule) and motor learning task. In the discrimination-reversal and T-maze …
(Dis)empowering assessment? : assessment as experienced by students in their upper secondary school EFL studies
2017
Assessment has a great deal of power over students. However, there is little research on how students experience assessment and its power in the school context. The purpose of this mixed-methods study is therefore to examine how students in one Finnish upper secondary school experienced assessment and (dis)empowerment in their EFL studies. The present study, which situates itself within the realm of teacher research, also aims to experiment with alternative assessment methods in order to investigate whether they could foster empowerment in upper secondary EFL studies. The study comprises five articles and a monograph, and is divided into two parts, each with its own research aims. Part 1 an…

ORAL MICROBIOTA: CHARACTERISTICS, RELATED PATHOLOGIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
2020
The oral microbiota is represented by the set of bacteria and microrganisms that reside in the oral cavity. It is formed from bird and stabilizes during the period of permanent dentition. The oral microbiota poresents from 500 to 700 bacterial species, belonging to six main phyla, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Spirochaetes and Fusobacteria. These bacteria partecipate in the formation of dental plaque, a sort of biofilm that deposits on the rigid surfaces of the oral cavity, and contributes to the healthy maintenance of the oral cavity. An alteration of the oral microbiota contributes to the pathogenesis of periodontitis, caries, gingivitis and also of systemic d…

Publiskā sektora organizāciju kultūra: izglītības nozares gadījuma analīze
2020
Bakalaura darba tēma ir „Publiskā sektora organizāciju kultūra: izglītības nozares gadījuma analīze”. Darba autore bakalaura darba ietvaros veidoja aptaujas anketu, lai noskaidrotu, kā organizāciju kultūra ietekmē vai tieši otrādi neietekmē iestāžu sadarbību. Tika izvēlētas šādas iestādes: Izglītības un zinātnes ministrija, Valsts izglītības un satura centrs un Izglītības kvalitātes valsts dienests. Kopā tika aptaujāti 99 darbinieki. Un papildus kvalitatīvo faktoru ietekmes noskaidrošanai, tika intervēti iepriekš minēto iestāžu vadītāji. Iegūtās atbildes tika apstrādātas pēc autores izstrādātās metodoloģijas (skat. šī darba 3. nodaļa). Darba sākumā tika izvirzīta šāda hipotēze – jo atšķirīg…

Histoires de vie et mémoire de l'Italie en Erytrée. L'expérience et la narration
2010
A partire dall''analisi di storie di vita raccolte in Eritrea, nel corso di una ricerca sulla memoria coloniale (condotta nel 2003-2004), l''Autrice si interroga sui meccanismi della memoria e le modalità di restituzione di un passato all''incrocio tra storia individuale e storia collettiva. Ricostruendo il contesto della ricerca, il saggio discute sulle forme di oggettivazione e rappresentazione del processo di "raccolta dei dati", sulle figurazioni della voce del narratore e dei soggetti agenti, sul metalinguaggio e la sua efficacia nella costruzione della conoscenza e sul tipo di sapere che ne deriva.
