Roles of participation and feedback in group potency.
2009
The roles of group participation and group performance feedback were examined as antecedents of group potency, i.e., beliefs shared among a work group's members about the general effectiveness of the work group. Also examined were how group participation and the congruence of the feedback received from different sources about performance predicted convergence in members' beliefs about group effectiveness. The sample comprised 61 work groups of professionals involved in Master in Business Administration (MBA) programs (284 participants). Mean group size was 4.6 members ( SD = .58). 65% of participants were male, and 51% were between 30 and 40 years of age. Data were gathered at two measurem…
Night-rest urinary catecholamine excretion in relation to aspects of free time, work and background data in a teacher group
1991
Free time, work and background data were related to night-rest catecholamine excretion rates in a teacher group (n = 137) during an autumn term. The explained interindividual variance increased slightly towards the end of the term. Adrenaline excretion was predicted better than noradrenaline, notedly by coffee consumption, amount of physical activity, and subjective stress feelings which explained 16% of the variance in adrenaline excretion during night rest. However, the results indicated that the differences in catecholamine excretion during night rest remained mostly unpredictable.
Implementation of augmented reality in operative dentistry learning.
2017
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of augmented reality (AR) in the gaining of knowledge and skills amongst dental students in the design of cavity preparations and analyse their degree of satisfaction. Material and methods AR cavity models were prepared for use with computers and mobile devices. Forty-one students were divided into two groups (traditional teaching methods vs AR). Questionnaires were designed to evaluate knowledge and skills, with the administration of a satisfaction questionnaire for those using AR. The degree of compliance with the standards in cavity design was assessed. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare knowledge and skills between the two groups, and the Wilc…
Odontogenic tumors: A study of 120 cases in an Indian teaching hospital
2010
Objective: Studies on odontogenic tumors published from many parts of the world show a distinct geographic variation; however, there is little information available in the English-language literature on the relative frequency of odontogenic tumors in India. This retrospective study was designed to determine the relative frequency of odontogenic tumors in an Indian population and compare them with various reports from other parts of the world. Study design: The histopathology records of the Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology of Government Dental College and Hospital, Mumbai were retrieved retrospectively within the period of January 2001 to July 2010. A total of 120 lesions classi…

How is oral health education conducted in Finnish health centers?
1995
The oral health education (OHE) given in Finnish health centers is mostly implemented by dental assistants and hygienists. However, there is no exact information concerning the distribution of OHE work and the working methods among individual health educators. The aims of this study were to assess 1) the time used for OHE by the dental professionals who bear most of the responsibility for OHE in health centers, and to evaluate 2) the collaboration between OH-educators and the parents of schoolchildren, school personnel and the other health care personnel and 3) the sources of the OHE knowledge and skills of these OH-educators and their methods according to their work load. The data for this…
Risk of infection and adverse outcomes among pregnant working women in selected occupational groups: A study in the Danish National Birth Cohort
2010
Abstract Background Exposure to infectious pathogens is a frequent occupational hazard for women who work with patients, children, animals or animal products. The purpose of the present study is to investigate if women working in occupations where exposure to infections agents is common have a high risk of infections and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Methods We used data from the Danish National Birth Cohort, a population-based cohort study and studied the risk of Infection and adverse outcomes in pregnant women working with patients, with children, with food products or with animals. The regression analysis were adjusted for the following covariates: maternal age, parity, history of miscarri…
The effective group size for teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills – A randomized controlled simulation trial
2021
Abstract Aim of the study The ideal group size for effective teaching of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is currently under debate. The upper limit is reached when instructors are unable to correct participants’ errors during skills practice. This simulation study aimed to define this limit during cardiopulmonary resuscitation teaching. Methods Medical students acting as simulated Basic Life Support course participants were instructed to make three different pre-defined Basic Life Support quality errors (e.g., chest compression too fast) in 7 min. Basic Life Support instructors were randomized to groups of 3–10 participants. Instructors were asked to observe the Basic Life Support skills and …
Teaching swimming at primary school level : a significant difficulty for the subject
2020
This thesis seeks to identify and understand, from the epistemological and methodological field of psychoanalysis, the nature of the difficulty in teaching swimming encountered by four P.E. primary school teachers. It is based on a trainer’s observation witnessing the embarrassment of P.E. teachers confronted with this discipline and with a lack of ‘solutions’ to deal successfully with this professional difficulty. The clinical methodological device consists in the construction of four cases based on the interpretative analysis of the subject’s speech, collected through individual clinical interviews. This collection is completed by a clinical observation time during teaching sessions for t…
"Piosenka jest dobra na wszystko" : propozycja bloku zajęć zapoznających studentów obcojęzycznych z wybranymi utworami twórców polskiej piosenki
2022
Artykuł stanowi omówienie propozycji bloku zajęć adresowanych do studentów obcojęzycznych, którego celem jest wzmocnienie kompetencji językowych, ale także przybliżenie sylwetek kilku znaczących reprezentantów polskiej sceny muzycznej: Czesława Niemena, Agnieszki Osieckiej, Wojciecha Młynarskiego, Kabaretu Starszych Panów. W założeniu ma to służyć podniesieniu motywacji cudzoziemców do nauki języka polskiego. Zaproponowane zajęcia są adresowane do studentów posługujących się językiem polskim co najmniej na poziomie B1+/B2, jednak - biorąc pod uwagę - holistyczne podejście do nauczania języka obcego, można na ich podstawie skonstruować serię zadań doskonalących różnorakie kompetencje językow…
