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…
Off on the wrong foot : Task avoidance at the outset of primary school anticipates academic difficulties and declining peer acceptance
2021
The present study examined the academic antecedents of declining peer social status. Participants included 545 (311 boys, 234 girls) Finnish students followed from the 1st through the 4th grade (ages 6–8 at outset). Each year, teachers completed assessments of academic task avoidance and students completed standardized measures of reading and math achievement. Acceptance was assayed through peer nominations. Supporting the hypothesized model, the results indicated that a lack of interest and motivation at the outset of primary school leads to a downward spiral of academic difficulties and diminished peer acceptance. Specifically, academic task avoidance in 1st and 2nd grade anticipated decl…
The correspondence between PISA performance and school achievement in Finland.
2022
In the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the key knowledge and skills needed in modern society are assessed. So far, however, little is known on the relationship between PISA performance and school achievement. Using Finnish PISA 2015 and 2018 data combined with the national register of education records, we studied whether there is correspondence between PISA performance and school achievement. The results showed that the correspondence between PISA performance and school achievement is moderate. The PISA proficiency scores correlated not only with the corresponding grades but also with the grades of other theoretical subjects, indicating that the PISA test assesses a …
The interplay between maternal homework involvement, task-avoidance, and achievement among adolescents.
2021
This study examined three aspects of maternal homework involvement (i.e., the quantity, quality, and source of initiative) and their direct and indirect associations with adolescents’ task-avoidant behavior in homework situations and academic achievement. The sample consisted of Finnish mothers and their adolescents who were transitioning from primary to lower secondary school. Mothers rated the quantity of their homework involvement (i.e., monitoring and help), quality of their homework involvement (i.e., autonomy support and psychological control), and source of initiative (i.e., mother- vs. adolescent-initiated monitoring and help) at the beginning of Grade 6. They also reported on adole…
Cross-lagged relationships between home learning environment and academic achievement in Chinese
2015
Abstract We examined (a) the cross-lagged relationships between the home learning environment and academic achievement in Chinese, and (b) whether parents’ socioeconomic status (SES) and child's gender moderate the relations. One hundred seventy-seven Chinese children were followed from Grade 1 to Grade 2 and were assessed on reading and mathematics. Their parents also responded to a questionnaire assessing the frequency of engaging in different home literacy and numeracy activities. Results showed that reading ability in Grade 1 negatively predicted informal home literacy activities in Grade 2. In turn, mathematics ability in Grade 1 negatively predicted formal home numeracy activities in …

Identitātes dimensiju un orientācijas uz nākotni saistība 18 – 25 gadus veciem jauniešiem.
2017
Bakalaura pētījumā tika izvirzīts jautājums: Vai pastāv sakarība starp identitātes dimensijām un orientāciju uz nākotni un tās komponentēm? Pētījumā piedalījās 53 respondenti jaunieši vecumā no 18 – 25 gadiem, respondentu vidējais vecums M = 22,49 (SD = 2,22). 73% no respondentiem bija sievietes un 27% vīriešu. No aptaujātajiem respondentiem 42% ir ieguvuši augstāko izglītību, 4% ir precējušies un 9% no respondentu ir bērni. Lai izpētītu identitātes dimensijas bakalaura darba ietvaros tika adaptēta Piecu dimensiju identitātes modeļa aptauja (Dimension of Identity Development Scale, Luyckx et al. 2008a). Orientācijas uz nākotni un tās komponenšu noskaidrošanai tika izmantota Aleksandra Koļes…
Hepatocellular cancer cell lines, Hep-3B and Hep-G2 display the pleiotropic response to resveratrol and berberine
2022
Purpose Human carcinoma cells with different p53 status exposed to a combination of bioactive substances, resveratrol and berberine, revealed different responses in cell viability via p53-dependant apoptosis pathway activation. Materials and methods Using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay, we investigated various and opposing effects in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, Hep-G2 and Hep-3B with different p53-status. Results Cells decreased in viability after treatment with dose-dependent concentrations of resveratrol and berberine. Hep-3B p53 mutants were more sensitive in comparison to the p53 wild type Hep-G2 cell line. A syne…
More Time Children Spend in Nature During Preschool Is Associated with a Greater Sense of Responsibility for Nature : A Study in Finland
2021
Nature connectedness is an important factor underlying proenvironmental behavior. Only little is known on the aspects that influence nature connectedness in younger children. The study participants included 150 children at mean age of 6.5 years. Eighty-five of them attended nature-preschool that offers on average 13.1 h/week, and 65 of them typical preschool that offers on average 1.7 h/week, of their education in nature. Nature connectedness was measured with the connection to nature index. The regular visits to nature during preschool were associated with a higher sense of responsibility for nature (p = 0.013). The regular visits to nature during preschool, sex, parent's nature connectedn…
Patvēruma meklētāja tiesību realizācija Latvijā
2019
Bakalaura darbā ‘’Patvēruma meklētāju tiesību realizācija Latvijā’’ tiek pētīts Eiropas Savienības un Latvijas regulējums patvēruma tiesību jautājumos un patvēruma meklētāju tiesību efektīvas piemērošanas problēmas. Darbā pētīta Starptautiskā tiesu prakse, Latvijas tiesu prakse, intervēta biedrības ‘’Gribu palīdzēt bēgļiem’’ aktīviste, kas norāda uz galvenajām problēmām un grūtībām tiesību sistēmā. Patvēruma meklētāju tiesību realizāciju Latvijā negatīvi ietekmē gan vispārēja politiskā attieksme pret patvēruma meklētājiem, gan resursu trūkums, izpratnes un informācijas trūkums patvēruma jautājumos. Novērots arī izpratnes trūkums un salīdzinoši zemi cilvēktiesību standarti salīdzinājumā ar c…
