How do self-regulation and effort in test-taking contribute to undergraduate students’ critical thinking performance?
2023
Critical thinking is a multifaceted construct involving a set of skills and affective dispositions together with self-regulation. The aim of this study was to explore how self-regulation and effort in test-taking contribute to undergraduate students’ performance in critical thinking assessment. The data were collected in 18 higher education institutions in Finland. A total of 2402 undergraduate students at the initial and final stages of their bachelor degree programmes participated in the study. An open-ended performance task, namely the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA+) International, was assigned to assess students’ critical thinking, and a self-report questionnaire was used to measu…
Problematising the equivalence of the test results of performance-based critical thinking tests for undergraduate students
2015
Abstract This article compares the test results of two different performance-based assessments of critical thinking: a constructed-response task from the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) and a multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ). These tests ostensibly measure the same critical thinking skills, such as analysing, interpreting and evaluating information and problem solving. The study utilised a mixed-method approach to explore the differences in students’ ( n = 330) test scores. The results showed that the correspondence between the CLA and the MCQ was fully comparable in 45.5% of the students’ test performances. Ten percent of the students had completely opposite test results. Explanat…
Pašregulējoša aizsardzība pret sistēmas pārslodzi
2018
Maģistra darba mērķis ir izveidot no sistēmas veiktspējas atkarīgu sistēmas pārslodzes vadības mehānismu, kas, darbojoties fonā, mēra kopējo sistēmas slodzi un balstoties uz iegūtajiem rezultātiem regulē sniedzamo servisu apjomu. Nepietiekamas veiktspējas gadījumā tiek veidotas gaidītāju rindas jaunajiem lietotājiem, tā ļaujot efektīvi pabeigt iesāktās darbības sistēmā esošajiem lietotājiem. Lietotāji, kas atrodas gaidītāju rindā, tiek informēti par aptuveno gaidīšanas laiku, pēc kura varēs piekļūt pieprasītajai funkcionalitātei. Darbā ir aprakstīts risinājums, kas veicina augstāku servisu saņemšanas kvalitāti, izvairoties no sistēmas pārslodzes radītām atteicēm un samazinot ar sistēmas lēn…
Study of scintillation light collection, production and propagation in a 4 tonne dual-phase LArTPC
2020
The $3 \times 1 \times 1$ m$^3$ demonstrator is a dual phase liquid argon time projection chamber that has recorded cosmic rays events in 2017 at CERN. The light signal in these detectors is crucial to provide precise timing capabilities. The performances of the photon detection system, composed of five PMTs, are discussed. The collected scintillation and electroluminescence light created by passing particles has been studied in various detector conditions. In particular, the scintillation light production and propagation processes have been analyzed and compared to simulations, improving the understanding of some liquid argon properties.
The acute effects of different high-intensity conditioning activities on sprint performance differ between sprinters of different strength and power …
2021
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of different conditioning activities (CAs) on short-term increase in sprint performance. In twelve male sprinters (21.1+2.6 years, 100 m performance: 11.5+0.6 s) their body composition, half squat maximum strength, 100 m sprinting and countermovement jump performances were evaluated. The performance of a 50 m sprint (splits at 10 m, 30 m and 50 m) was evaluated before and 5, 10 and 15 min after four postactivation performance enhancement CAs on different occasions: [1] 3 sets x 4 s maximum isometric half squat (IHF), [2] 3 sets x 3 consecutive countermovement jumps (cCMJs), [3] 3 repetitions x 30 m overspeed sprinting (OVSP) and [4]…
Proton Direct Ionization in Sub-Micron Technologies : Test Methodologies and Modelling
2023
Two different low energy proton (LEP) test methods, one with quasi-monoenergetic and the other with very wide proton beam energy spectra, have been studied. The two test methodologies have been applied to devices that were suggested from prior heavy-ion tests to be sensitive to proton direct ionization (PDI). The advantages and disadvantages of the two test methods are discussed. The test method using quasi-monoenergetic beams requires device preparation and high energy resolution beams, but delivers results that can be interpreted directly and can be used in various soft error rate (SER) calculation methods. The other method, using a heavily degraded high energy proton beam, requires littl…
Relationship between management Control and Organizational learning: An exploratory Study
2019
International audience; Cet article traite la question de la relation du contrôle de gestion et de l’apprentissage organisationnel. La méthodologie de recherche mobilisée, basée sur une approche qualitative, est fondée sur une étude de cas de la filiale d’une multinationale industrielle. Les résultats obtenus ont d’abord montré l’exisitance d’une relation en double sens entre le contrôle de gestion et l’apprentissage organisationnel. En plus de sa mission traditionnelle de régulation, l’usage interactif du système de contrôle de gestion favorise le développement des configurations de l’apprentissage en double boucle qui permet de questionner la pertinence et la validité de la stratégie ains…
Talentutvikling i fotball : kan et opplevd motivasjonsklima predikere behovstilfredsstillelse og selvregulert læring hos unge talentfulle fotballspil…

Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Studies that have looked at the relationship between training and performance have sown that athletes must practice at lot in order to reach a high level (Côté et al., 2007; Ericsson et al., 1993; Simon & Chase, 1973), and motivation is viewed as an important factor in order to implement the required training. Through satisfaction of the basic needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness, athletes will feel self-determination and intrinsic motivation (Deci & Ryan, 1985). Furthermore, football players who spend more time promoting their own learning is often preferred over players taking less responsibility (Toering et al., 2012)…
Development of high-performance thin layer chromatography method for identification of phenolic compounds and quantification of rosmarinic acid conte…
2020
ABSTRACT Aim: Representatives of Nepetoideae Burnett subfamily are promising species of the Lamiaceae Martinov family because of accumulating such valuable groups of secondary metabolites as terpenoids and polyphenols. A high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprint method for the qualitative determination of phenolic compounds and for the quantification of rosmarinic acid (RA) content in methanol extracts of five species of this subfamily was developed for the first time. Materials and Methods: Dried aerial parts of Dracocephalum moldavica L., Ocimum americanum L., Lophanthus anisatus (Nutt.) Benth., Monarda fistulosa L., and Satureja hortensis L. collected in flowering pe…
Medical Software Needs Calm Compliance
2022
The promise of calm computing, a concept introduced by Mark Weiser more than 20 years ago, has been mostly realized today. For instance, as an end user, you expect to interact during your daily routine with a multitude of sophisticated services and applications without being aware of their technical implementation. All you need is a smartphone and an always-on Internet connection. peerReviewed
