Observer-Based Stabilization of Stochastic Systems with Limited Communication
2012
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from Hindawi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/781542 Open Access This paper studies the problem of observer-based stabilization of stochastic nonlinear systems with limited communication. A communication channel exists between the output of the plant and the input of the dynamic controller, which is considered network-induced delays, data packet dropouts, and measurement quantization. A new stability criterion is derived for the stochastic nonlinear system by using the Lyapunov functional approach. Based on this, the design procedure of observer-based controller is presented,which ensures asy…
Dropout intentions in secondary education : Student temperament and achievement motivation as antecedents
2023
Introduction As early school leaving and dropping out from education pose a challenge for later life adjustment, it is important to identify antecedent factors for the risk of school dropout to tailor individual support for adolescents. Consequently, this study examines the role of adolescents' motivational beliefs and behaviors (i.e., success expectations, planning, and task-avoidance) as well as their temperament (i.e., extraversion/surgency, negative affectivity, effortful control, and affiliativeness) in their dropout intentions in the first year of upper secondary education. Methods Participants were Finnish adolescents' (n = 536; 57% girls, mean age 12.39 at outset, standard deviation…
Sport commitment and adherence: A social-cognitive analysis. (Compromiso deportivo y adherencia: Un análisis cognitivo social).
2011
Abstract Statement of problem: This study aimed to analyse the ability of a model based on achievement motivation and self-determination theories to predict adherence to competitive sport. This model incorporated commitment as predictor of adherence. A prospective study was performed with a sample of 302 handball players aged between 14 and 18 years. Structural equation modelling gave support to the model proposed. It was verified the sequence of relationships between perceptions of coach-created mastery climate, psychological needs, self-determined motivation, commitment, and adherence. The major contribution of the study was to confirm a motivational model of adherence based on social-cog…
Alcohol Abuse in Latin American Immigrants Participating in Intervention Programs for Abusers: the Import ance of Adherence to Treatment
2016
En este estudio, se analizan las tasas de abandono del tratamiento en hombres inmigrantes latinoamericanos con problemas de consumo de alcohol (PCA) derivados a programas de intervención con maltratadores, y se explora si aquellos que consiguen finalizar la intervención se diferencian de los que no tienen PCA en variables resultado de la intervención. La muestra la componen 107 hombres latinoamericanos condenados por violencia contra la mujer. Al contrario de lo esperado, no se confirman mayores tasas de abandono entre los participantes con PCA. Independientemente de tener o no PCA, los participantes que finalizaron el programa mostraron mejoría en todas las variables objetivo de la interve…

Prevenire l’insuccesso scolastico nella scuola secondaria di primo grado: scuola e territorio dialogano
2017
Con il lavoro di co-progettazione per la promozione di una rete integrata tra soggetti pubblici e privati attraverso lo sviluppo di una metodologia di sistema, l’ideazione e realizzazione di strumenti di supporto, è stato offerto un contributo per il contrasto del fenomeno della dispersione scolastica e per la prevenzione del rischio di marginalità sociale negli adolescenti di Palermo. Il progetto ha coinvolto 172 studenti, 171 genitori e 29 docenti di tre scuole secondarie di primo grado, 10 operatori del terzo settore del territorio del Comune di Palermo. Si è partiti dal presupposto che per favorire la dimensione orientativa della scuola media fosse necessario incentivare il dialogo tra …

Hvilke områder er sentrale for forebyggende innsats i ungdomsskolen for å øke gjennomføring av videregående opplæring? : En kvalitativ undersøkelse b…
2017
Masteroppgave ledelse ORG917 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Dropout is considered a major social problem in Norway, and approximately 3 out of 10 students do not finish upper secondary school within 5 years. The consequences of dropout are negative for both individuals and society. One of the consequences is that young adults without secondary education may be experiencing difficulties getting in to a labour market that increasingly requires highly-skilled labor. There are many reasons why students drop out of school, and there are no easy solutions. Therefore, a number of studies have been exploring possible causes for drop out in the recent years. Existing research has primarily been aimed …
Early involvement and pathway specialization : a dropout track in cross-country skiing?
2013
Early sport specialization is often criticized for its potential to impair long-term athletic development. One of the most frequently cited consequences is dropout from further sport participation. Early diversification, within the Developmental Model of Sport Participation (DMSP), postulates that early sampling of various sports and late specialization should result in fewer dropouts. Still, empirical evidence supporting this claim remains scarce. The purpose of this study was to examine dropout rates among Finnish elite youth skiers in relationship to: (a) their developmental pathways, (b) age of first involvement with organized cross-country skiing, and (c) first encounter with organized…
Symptoms of psychological ill-being and school dropout intentions among upper secondary education students : a person-centered approach
2020
A person-centered approach was used to identify the profiles of symptoms of psychological ill-being among Finnish upper secondary education students (N = 2889); to examine whether gender and educational track (i.e., academic or vocational) are associated with these profiles; and to investigate the role of profiles in school dropout intentions. Using latent profile analysis, one asymptomatic profile (normative, 79.2%) and three symptomatic profiles (internalizing symptoms, 9.1%; externalizing symptoms, 9.1%; and comorbid symptoms, 2.6%) were identified. Boys in the vocational track were overrepresented in the externalizing-symptoms profile, whereas girls in both tracks were overrepresented i…
