Although temporal conceptualizations of motivational processes have not held center stage in motivation science, the situation is currently changing. Drawing on work in the subfield of language learning motivation, where the motivational endurance needed to master a second language has been a major concern, the aim of this article is to contribute to the body of work currently exploring motivation
Background: Risk of fragility fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is increased. Disease-related inflammation in RA is associated with low Bone Mineral Density (BMD). However, effects of specific disease factors on fracture occurrence and whether or not such disease effects are independent of BMD are unknown. Methods: Analysis of fracture outcome in the prospective cohort of 2557 p
Background: Traumatic brain injury causes morbidity, mortality, and at least 2,500,000 yearly emergency department visits in the USA. Computerized tomography of the head is the gold standard to detect traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Some are not diagnosed at the first scan, and they are denoted “delayed intracranial hemorrhages. ” To detect these delayed hemorrhages, current guidelines for head
An increasing number of extremely premature infants survive the neonatal period and beyond. Little is known about the maturation of the preterm infant’s metabolome and its relation to the development of morbidities. Using 1H-NMR, we investigated the serum metabolic profile of 87 infants born at a gestational age (GA) <28 weeks [mean GA (SD) 25.4 (1.4) weeks] in samples longitudinally collected fro
If bioethical questions cannot be resolved in a widely acceptable manner by rational argument, and if they can be regulated only on the basis of political decision-making, then bioethics belongs to the political sphere. The particular kind of politics practiced in any given society matters greatly: it will determine the kind of bioethical regulation, legislation, and public policy generated there.
The aim of this chapter is to analyse how the governing capacity of current policy instruments might be affected in futures of smart mobility. In order to explore this issue, the authors make use of the so-called NATO (nodality, authority, treasure, organisation) framework for analysing two contrasting scenarios. The analyses show that the overall governing capacity of many of the policy instrumen
The practice of code review is widely adopted in industry and hasbeen studied to an increasing degree in the research community.However, the developer experience of code review has receivedlimited attention. Here, we report on initial results from a mixed-method exploratory study of the developer experience.
Adolescent mental health is difficult to capture in categories such as depression or specific anxiety disorders. An alternative is to approach psychiatric symptoms as causal networks, potentially revealing feedback loops that maintain a pathological state. One approach to creating such networks, implemented in the PECAN methodology, is to ask adolescents about their perceptions of the causes to th
This chapter addresses the question of the outer limits of the European Union’s (EU) internal market and its significance in the Union's foreign policy, especially in relations with the EU’s neighbouring countries. The internal market forms the core of European integration and has gained increased importance in the external context. Through an analysis of the relevance of the internal market withi
This article discusses an important panel held at ICIS 2011 in Shanghai to mark over thirty years of an ICIS institution, the ICIS Women's Breakfast. The panel addressed the controversial question-is there still a need for the ICIS Women's Breakfast? Panelists were asked if the ICIS Women's Breakfast could be seen as divisive, and if women's issues are different from issues of diversity such as ra
BackgroundMisophonia is a complex condition characterized by extreme emotional distress in response to specific sounds or specific visual stimuli. Despite a growing body of clinical and neuroscientific literature, the etiology of this condition remains unclear. Hyperarousal, that is, a state of heightened alertness and disinhibition, as a core feature of misophonia is supported by behavioral and n
Despite the successes in the use of artificial intelligence systems for image analysis, in certain critical applications, the final decision-making should remain with the human operator. To facilitate the working conditions of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) pilot during prolonged missions, an auxiliary narrow-angle video camera is installed on board the UAV. This camera can be positioned indepen
Recent years have seen the dominance of neoclassical, marginalist and welfarist schools of Competition Law and Economics being challenged more vigorously than ever [See two major collecting works on fairness in economics in: Fennell and McAdams (2013) and Cappelen and Tungodden (2019)]. Although the core assumptions of the neoclassical school regarding overt reliance on rationality and efficiency
hand in the fight against resistant microbes. This thesis discusses the feasibility and potential of specific immunotherapy in treating acute bacterial infections and chronic sequels. The infection model is acute cystitis; the most common form of urinary tract infection, affecting millions of patients annually. Susceptible patients develop the characteristic clinical manifestation of dysuria, urge
