Reliability and Validity of The Finnish Version of The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire among Surgically Treated Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Patients
2019
Background and Aims: The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire is the most commonly used outcome measure in the assessment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to translate the original Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire into Finnish and validate its psychometric properties. Materials and Methods: We translated and culturally adapted the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire into Finnish. Subsequently, 193 patients completed the Finnish version of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire, 6-Item CTS Symptoms Scale, and EuroQol 5 Dimensions 12 months after carpal tunnel release. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire was re-administered after a 2-week interval. We calculated cons…
Korpusu lietojums klasifikācijas un salīdzinājuma rindkopu rakstītmācīšanā
2018
Nesenie panākumi korpusa lingvistikā liecina par to, ka korpusa lietojums rakstītmācīšanā var nodrošināt svešvalodas ar īpašu datubāzi, sastāvošu no autentiskiem valodas datiem, kas savukārt var uzlabot mācību procesu. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai korpusos balstītu aktivitāšu lietojums var uzlabot saistošo vārdu izmantošanu klasifikācijas un salīdzinājuma/kontrasta rindkopu rakstītmācīšanā. Pētniecības metode, kas tika izmantota šī maģistra darba tapšanā bija gadījuma izpēte, kas ietvēra pirmstestu, pēctestu un aptaujas anketu. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka korpusos balstītu aktivitāšu izmantošana ievērojami uzlabo saistošo vārdu kopskaitu, palielina pareizi izmantoto saistošo v…
Runāšanas prasmju pilnveide, izmantojot stāstus
2016
Runāšanas prasmes tiek izmantotas katru dienu. Runa ir valodas prasme, kas palīdz komunicēt. Tas ir sarežģīts process, kas iekļauj citas valodu prasmes un runas orgānus. Tāpēc ir svarīgi attīstīt runāšanas prasmes. Bakalaura darba tēma ir "Runāšanas prasmju pilnveide, izmantojot stāstus". Darba mērķis ir pierādīt, ka, izmantojot stāstu metodi mācīšanā, var uzlabot runāšanas prasmes. Darbā izmantotās pētniecības metodes ir literatūras apskats, gadījumu izpēte un triangulācijas metode. Izvirzītā hipotēze tika pierādīta ar gadījuma izpētes metodi, balstoties uz iegūtajiem datiem no studentu aptaujām un iegūtajiem rezultātiem mācību stundas novērošanas laikā, un apstrādāti sekojošos izpētes dar…
Pathways between Social Capital and Oral Health from Childhood to Adolescence
2022
Author's accepted manuscript This study aimed to evaluate the theoretical pathways by which social capital can influence dental caries and oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children over time. This 10-y prospective cohort started in 2010 with a sample of 639 preschoolers aged 1 to 5 y from the southern Brazil. Community and individual social capital were assessed at baseline through the presence of formal institutions in the neighborhood and social networks, respectively. In the 10-y follow-up, the individual social capital was evaluated by social trust and social networks. Dental caries was measured by the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS), and the …
Sensory Processing Disorders in Children and Adolescents: Taking Stock of Assessment and Novel Therapeutic Tools
2022
Sensory processing disorders (SPDs) can be described as difficulty detecting, modulating, interpreting, and/or responding to sensory experiences. Because SPDs occur in many individuals with autism spectrum disorder and in other populations with neurodevelopmental disorders, it is important to distinguish between typical and atypical functioning in sensory processes and to identify early phenotypic markers for developing SPDs. This review considers different methods for diagnosing SPDs to outline a multidisciplinary approach useful for developing valid diagnostic measures. In particular, the advantages and limitations of the most commonly used tools in assessment of SPDs, such as caregiver r…
Power of Cognition: How Dysfunctional Cognitions and Schemas Influence Eating Behavior in Daily Life Among Individuals With Eating Disorders
2018
Eating disorders (EDs) are characterized by marked cognitive distortions and maladaptive schemas. Cognitive models of EDs highlight the direct impact of cognitive dysfunctions on eating-related disturbances, insofar as specific cognitive contents such as thoughts about diet rules and food or loss of control may trigger disturbed eating behavior. Moreover, early maladaptive schemas that reflect perfectionist standards and relate to achievement and performance seem to be associated with disturbed eating, e.g., via their impact on situation-specific appraisals. However, so far, no study has investigated these assumptions. Hence, the present study sought to demonstrate whether and how cognitive…
Effects of Prior Knowledge on Comprehending Text About Learning Strategies
2021
Good knowledge and skills in using different learning strategies is important for learning with understanding and even more critical during distance learning. Findings indicate that students tend to use and value ineffective learning strategies, thus there is need to educate students. This study aimed to analyze the possibility of using refutation text on learning strategies that students can study independently. The study examined how reported use of learning strategies and preexisting beliefs about the effectiveness of rehearsal and comprehension-oriented strategies relate to the comprehension of text about learning strategies, and how text comprehension is related to later use of strateg…
Validation and Measurement Invariance of the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) in a Spanish General Sample
2020
Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8359 Este artículo pertenece a la sección "Health behavior, chronic disease and health promotion". Well-being has been measured based on di erent perspectives in positive psychology. However, it is necessary to measure a ects and emotions correctly and to explore the independence of positive and negative a ect. This cross-sectional study adapts and validates the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) with a non-probabilistic sample of 821 Spanish adults. A confirmatory factor analysis confirmed two related factors with two correlated errors. The average variance extracted was 0.502 for…
Adaptation and Measurement Invariance by Gender of the Flourishing Scale in a Colombian Sample
2021
There is increasing interest in the study of flourishing as an indicator of subjective wellbeing. The objective herein was to adapt and study the psychometric properties of Diener’s Flourishing Scale (FS) among the Colombian population. Accordingly, a cross-sectional study was conducted with a non-probability sample of 1255 Colombian adults. The scale’s structure, invariance by gender, and convergent and concurrent validity were studied from a confirmatory perspective using structural equation models. The confirmatory factor analysis showed excellent fit indicators for the one-dimensional structure (CFI = 0.985, RMSEA = 0.039, SRMR = 0.020) as well as for the convergent (CFI = 0.909, RMSEA …
”Siksi, että se tuntuu helposti opettajastakin tylsältä” : communicative methods in English grammar teaching in Finland
2015
Sekä kieliopin opetusta että kommunikatiivista opetusta on tutkittu Suomessakin melko laajalti, mutta näiden kahden kohtaaminen ei toistaiseksi ole päässyt tutkimusten kohteeksi. Kielioppia pidetään usein vaikeana ja jopa tylsänä opetettavana, eikä kommunikatiivisuuden toteuttaminen kielioppitunneilla tunnu välttämättä kovin helpolta. Globalisoituvassa maailmassa kommunikointi vieraalla kielellä on yhä yleisempi ilmiö, minkä vuoksi sen opettaminen lukeutuu kieltenopettajien tärkeimpiin tehtäviin. Tällaisessa asetelmassa kieliopin asema herättää herkästi kysymyksiä. Tutkielman tarkoitus on selvittää, miten englannin kielen kieliopin opetus on kehittynyt Suomessa viimeisten vuosikymmenten aik…
