Safety Related Behaviors and Law Adherence of Shared E-Scooter Riders in Germany
2021
Shared e-scooters, whose supply and coverage keeps increasing in many cities around the globe, are rapidly changing mobility in urban road environments. As rising injury rates have been observed alongside this new form of mobility, researchers are investigating potential factors that relate to safe/unsafe e-scooter use. In Germany, e-scooter sharing platforms were only recently permitted in the middle of 2019, and their number has increased steadily since then. The aim of this study was to assess key factors that relate to their safe use, through a direct observation of e-scooters conducted at three observation sites around Berlin. Helmet use, dual use, type of infrastructure use, and trave…
Wie wirksam sind analytische und tiefenpsychologisch fundierte Langzeitpsychotherapien bei Jugendlichen?
2011
Fragestellung: In der Qualitätssicherung der analytischen Psychotherapie bei Kindern und Jugendlichen fehlen bislang Studien, die die Effizienz aus der Sicht unterschiedlicher, an der Behandlung beteiligter Personen erheben. Methodik: In 28 Langzeitpsychotherapien bei Jugendlichen wurde die Effizienz der Behandlung aus der Sicht von Jugendlichen, ihren Eltern sowie ihren Therapeuten über drei Messzeitpunkte in einem Zeitraum von durchschnittlich 113 Stunden untersucht. Ergebnisse: Die Therapiegruppe (n = 28) unterschied sich von einer unbehandelten Wartekontrollgruppe (n = 32) nicht in wesentliche Stichprobenmerkmalen; auch das Diagnosespektrum war gleich. Die Therapeuten berichteten eine …
Topical Fluoride for Preventing Dental Caries in Children and Adolescents
2012
The use of topically applied fluoride has been widely researched as a means to reduce the risk of dental caries in conjunction with other treatment modalities (mechanical oral hygiene, dietary control, antimicrobial intervention, pit and fissure sealants). There is overwhelming evidence that reports not only the significance and importance of the use of fluoride as a caries-preventive agent, but also how safe fluoride application is when used appropriately, particularly in higher risk individuals and populations. This paper reviews the caries-protective benefits of topical fluoride application in children and adolescents, with an emphasis on the clinical efficacy and safety of the vehicles …
Organisational and individual resources as antecedents of older nursing professionals’ organisational commitment : Investigating the mediating effect…
2021
Aim and objectives To investigate how organisational and individual resources are linked to older (50+) nursing professionals’ organisational commitment, and to examine the possible mediating role of the active use of selection, optimisation and compensation (SOC) strategies. Background Many healthcare organisations need to find ways to retain their older nursing professionals due to nursing shortage. Design To test a set of hypotheses, cross-sectional survey data (n = 396) were used. Data were analysed using correlation analysis and partial least-squares structural equation modelling. STROBE Statement for cross-sectional studies has been followed in this study. Results The results exhibite…
Pyridine-Incorporated Dihexylquaterthiophene: A Novel Blue Emitter for Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)
2012
The synthesis and characterisation of 2,5-bis(5′-hexyl-[2,2′-bithiophen]-5-yl)pyridine (Th4PY) and its use as a blue emitter in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is reported. Th4PY was synthesised in high yield using a straightforward Suzuki coupling route with commercially available starting materials. As Th4PY is both soluble and has low molecular weight, blue OLEDs were fabricated using both spin-coating and vacuum deposition thin film processing techniques to study the effect of processing on device performance. OLED devices using a spin-coated layer consisting of 4′,4′′-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine (TCTA) and 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) as a …

Long-Term Efficacy of Psychosocial Treatments for Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Meta-Analytic Review
2018
Background: Recent evidence suggests that psychosocial treatments, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), are effective interventions for adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The objective of this review was to determine the long-term efficacy of psychosocial interventions in improving clinically relevant variables, including ADHD core symptoms, clinical global impression (CGI), and global functioning. Methods: In total, nine randomized controlled trials and three uncontrolled single-group pretest-posttest studies were included. The data from these studies were combined using the inverse variance method. Heterogeneity and risk of bias were assessed. Subgroup anal…
Autoeficacia percibida y rendimiento técnico-táctico en taekwondistas universitarios
2016
Este trabajo analiza el rendimiento deportivo y la autopercepción por medio de metodología observacional y el análisis de autoeficacia, respectivamente, según el género y el éxito de los deportistas en taekwondo. Se presentan dos estudios: el estudio 1, con dos objetivos, pretendió analizar (i) las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Autoeficacia Percibida en Acciones de Taekwondo (CAPAT) y (ii) la autoeficacia de los taekwondistas según el género y el éxito en combate. El estudio 2 buscó analizar el rendimiento técnico-táctico de los taekwondistas según el género y el éxito en combate. Los participantes fueron deportistas universitarios (estudio 1, N = 86; estudio 2, N = 85) con …
"Nice, refreshing, excellent that [it] is our corporate language" : a case study on self-efficacy and EFL in a Nordic online trading bank
2017
Englannin kielen merkitys suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa on kasvanut viime vuosikymmenten aikana nopealla tahdilla. Se näkyy monella eri osa-alueella: niin kulttuurissa, politiikassa kuin työmarkkinoilla. Nykyään englannin kielen osaaminen on edellytys työntekijälle. Moni suomalainen yritys toimii kansainvälisellä tasolla, mikä tarkoittaa, että englannin kielen käyttö on monelle jokapäiväistä. Kielen rooli voi jopa olla suurempi kuin suomen kielen. Kommunikointi ulkomailla sijaitsevien työntekijöiden ja toimistojen välillä, samoin kuin asiakaspalvelu, käydään usein englanniksi. Tämän vuoksi on syytä tutkia, millä tavoin englannin kielen rooli ilmenee yritystasolla ja kuinka työntekijät kokeva…
Assessment of Counseling Self-Efficacy: Validation of the German Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scales-Revised.
2021
Background: Many authors regard counseling self-efficacy (CSE) as important in therapist development and training. The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the German version of the Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scales-Revised (CASES-R). Method: The sample consisted of 670 German psychotherapy trainees, who completed an online survey. We examined the factor structure by applying exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to the instrument as a whole. Results: A bifactor-exploratory structural equation modeling model with one general and five specific factors provided the best fit to the data. Omega hierarchical coefficients indicated o…
