Attitudes and Interest of Greek Students Towards Science
Understanding students’ attitudes toward science is vital for fostering engagement in scientific fields. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Test of Science-Related Attitudes (TOSRA) for Greek upper-secondary Physics classrooms and explore how attitudes vary by gender, grade, and school location. A translated and culturally adapted version of TOSRA was administered to 662 students (grades 10–11) from urban and rural schools. Five of the or…
Bridging STEAM and Cultural Heritage Through Inclusive Inquiry
This study presents a professional development (PD) program designed within the “SciArt—Promoting 21st-century skills through an inclusive STEAM approach to Cultural Heritage” project, which aims to prepare teachers to implement an inclusive, inquiry-based STEAM approach in their classrooms. The approach, developed collaboratively by academics from the arts, sciences, and cultural sectors across Cyprus, Greece, and Portugal, integrates archaeomet…
Assessing Students’ Ability to Apply the Control of Variables Strategy When Engaged with Inquiry-Based Worksheets during the Covid Era
In this study, an inquiry-based sequence was designed, developed and implemented using facets of flipped classroom and aspects of inquiry learning using the ADDIE model. The sequence intends to promote the students’ scientific literacy. The aim of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of specially designed inquiry-based online worksheets (e-WS) to actively engage students in the design of unconfounded experiments by applying the Control of V…
Clustering of excess health concerns for electromagnetic fields among health personnel
Clustering patterns, among health-care personnel, of excessive concerns pertaining to perceived electromagnetic field-related health impacts, as contrasted to those from other environmental factors, were explored. Knowledge/excessive concerns of 722 health-care personnel were assessed using a 22-item structured questionnaire along with a double-phase qualitative study comprising semistructured interviews and focus groups. Over 75 percent of the p…

Serum Folate and B12 Levels in Association With Cognitive Impairment Among Seniors
Objective: To summarize existing evidence on the effect of serum folate and vitamin B12 levels on cognitive impairment among elders via a meta-analysis, also including unpublished data from a cross-sectional study of seniors ( > 65 years) residing in Velestino, Greece. Method: Serum measurements and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) assessments were available for 593 Velestinians. In addition, 12 studies availing data on folate blood levels ( …
What Works Better for Community-Dwelling Older People at Risk to Fall
Objective: To compare and quantify the effectiveness of multifactorial versus exercise-alone interventions in reducing recurrent falls among community-dwelling older people. Method : A meta-analysis of recently published studies on fall prevention interventions was conducted. Measure of the overall effectiveness was the combined risk ratio for recurrent falls, whereas heterogeneity was explored via metaregression analyses. Results: Ten of the 52 …
Key elements in childhood injury prevention
In an interesting original paper in this issue of the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health , the question is asked: how radical extinction of poverty would be expected to affect injury incidence and distribution per type and age ( see page 899 ).1 In the authors’ retrospective cohort, there is a statistically significant association between lower mean household income and increased risk of injury in children’s history (especially a clear …
The Evolution of Unintentional Injury Mortality Among Elderly in Europe
A large proportion of EU countries enjoys steady declining trends by major unintentional injury mortality category. Success factors and barriers underlying these benchmarking patterns should be further explored to accelerate the process of injury reduction
Bunk versus conventional beds
Objective: To depict the magnitude and spectrum of childhood injuries attributable to falls from bunk beds in comparison with conventional beds and to outline sociodemographic risk factors and injury characteristics. Study design: Case-control investigation. Setting: Accident and emergency departments of four hospitals in Greece, namely a teaching children's hospital and a trauma hospital in Greater Athens and the two district hospitals in the Ma…
Effectiveness of a comprehensive multisector campaign to increase seat belt use in the greater Athens area, Greece. Hellenic Road Traffic Police Department
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the effectiveness of a comprehensive campaign to increase seat belt use in Athens. METHODS: In 1996 a survey focusing on seat belt use was undertaken among occupants of 1400 passenger cars. From October 1997 to June 1998 the campaign was implemented; during the campaign, seat belt law enforcement was not intensified. In 1998 another inspection survey of 2250 cars was undertaken. RESULTS: The program brought only a …
