A longitudinal study examined the association between interpersonal goals (selfimage and compassionate goals) and depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. We propose that having self-image goals (trying to create and manage a positive image) may lead to psychological distress, while genuinely taking others' needs into account and caring for their welfare (compassionate goals) may promote psycholo

Research has robustly shown that early negative parenting experiences are associated with psychopathology and self-criticism in adulthood. This study investigates recall of personal feelings of perceived threat and subordination in childhood and its relation to psychopathology. In addition, we explore the mediator role of self-criticism in this association. A sample of 193 subjects from the genera

Urbanization is gaining force globally, which challenges biodiversity, and it has recently also emerged as an agent of evolutionary change. Seasonal phenology and life cycle regulation are essential processes that urbanization is likely to alter through both the urban heat island effect (UHI) and artificial light at night (ALAN). However, how UHI and ALAN affect the evolution of seasonal adaptatio

The infrared spectra of HI and DI in argon matrices have been studied in the 11-25 K interval. The effects of concentration changes and of impurities have been investigated. Dimer and trimer bands have been assigned, as well as bands due to binary complexes with water, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride, and atomic and molecular iodine.

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether CA 125 measurement is superior to ultrasound imaging performed by an experienced examiner for discriminating between benign and malignant adnexal lesions, and to determine whether adding CA 125 to ultrasound examination improves diagnostic performance. METHODS: This is a prospective multicenter study (International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) study) conducted in

In the course of his life’s work, Claudio Ciborra addressed many interesting and complex problem areas of information systems, from management of corporate information infrastructures to organizational learning. However, a unifying theme which permeated his work was an emphasis on recognizing ‘users’ as real human beings, not idealised types. He considered people, leading real, every-day lives; no

An interpretation is given of the threshold photoelectron spectrum of Ar between the P-3 and D-1 double-ionization thresholds. In this region the observed spectrum is less cluttered than below the P-3 thresholds and the interpretation is more straightforward. One of the characteristic features of the spectrum is the excitation to Rydberg orbitals with high angular momentum l in agreement with the

The far-field spatial distributions of high-order harmonics in an ionized medium have been investigated using a computer model that includes both the single atom effects and the collective effects of the medium. The results show that depletion of the non-linear medium due to ionization and radial phase variations across the gas jet cause broadening and complicated structures in the far-field spati

We report a case of neuropathy induced by vibration and compression in the hand of a dental hygienist. Her hand function was improved considerably by repeated treatment during which EMLA(R) cream (EMLA(R) cream is a local anaesthetic agent containing lidocain 2.5% and priolocain 2.5%) was applied to the forearm to induce cutaneous anaesthesia.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate long-run cost-effectiveness in a Swedish setting for liraglutide compared with sulphonylureas (glimepiride) or sitagliptin, all as add-on to metformin for patients with type 2 diabetes insufficiently controlled with metformin in monotherapy. Methods: The IHE Cohort Model of Type 2 Diabetes was used to evaluate clinical and economic outcomes from a societal perspecti

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is genetically characterized by the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, formed through a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 and giving rise to the constitutively active tyrosine kinase P210 BCR/ABL1. Therapeutic strategies aiming for a cure of CML will require full eradication of Ph chromosome-positive (Ph(+)) CML stem cells. Here we used gene-expression

The effects of 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) were studied in smooth muscle fibres from guinea pig taenia coli. In intact muscle, active force during contractions induced by high-K+ was inhibited by about 10% in 1 mM BDM and by approximately 70% in 10 mM BDM. Intracellular [Ca2+] during contraction, measured with the fura-2 technique, was reduced in the presence of BDM. The reduction in force and

Adipocyte dysfunction is a hallmark of systemic insulin resistance. Insulin-responsive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) is downregulated in the insulin resistant state, and cellular insulin responsiveness varies depending on fat-depot origin and degree of adipose expansion. Here, we have resolved factors limiting cellular insulin responsiveness, by examining adipocyte function and traits related to g

From a combination of radiative lifetime measurements, performed with a time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique, for nine odd-parity levels of Ir I and four odd-parity levels of Ir II and branching fraction calculations, extended sets of transition probabilities have been derived for transitions of astrophysical interest. The new results are compared with the few experimental data avail

Southeast Asia is the hardest-hit region worldwide regarding the frequency and severity of natural hazards, which are deemed to increase significantly in the incoming years.

Laglotten utgör hälften av arvslotten och berättigar endast arvlåtarens bröstarvingar enligt 7 kap. 1 § ÄB. Den andelen gå inte att testamentera bort. Laglottens ena syfte är att bevara den ekonomiska och sociala samhörighet som normalt föreligger mellan arvlåtaren och bröstarvingar. Dess andra syfte är att skapa rättvisa mellan bröstarvingarna. Det förstärkta laglottsskyddet är ett ytterligare hiThe statutory share of inheritance is half of the share of inheritance and entitles only the deceased's heirs under the Inheritance Code Chapter 7 Section 1. The share cannot be bequeathed away. The main purpose of the statutory share of inheritance is to preserve the economic and social cohesion that normally exists between the deceased and the heirs. Its second purpose is to promote fairness
