Retrospektīvs pētījums par dzīvildzi resnās zarnas vēža II stadijā, atkarībā no ārstēšanas stratēģijas

2017

Ievads: Adjuvanta ķīmijterapija pacientiem ar diagnosticētu II (UICC) stadijas resnās zarnas vēzi ir apsverama. Pacientu dalījums augsta un zema riska grupās, palīdz izlemt, vai pēc ķirurģiskas ārstēšanas ir indicēta ķīmijterapija, lai gan dzīvildzes ieguvumi nav ne plaši pētīti, nedz arī pierādīti. Tāpēc, autora mērķis šajā pētījumā bija salīdzināt piecu gadu dzīvildzi UICC II stadijas resnās zarnas vēža pacientiem, kuri saņēma adjuvantu ķīmijterapiju, un pacientiem, kuri ķīmijterapiju nesaņēma. Metodes: Dati par pacientiem ar II stadijas resnās zarnas vēzi, tika iegūti Paula Stradiņa Klīniskās universitātes slimnīcā Rīgā, Latvijā, Onkoloģijas klīnikā. Diagnozes apstiprināšanas laiks no 20…

Temperamentally inhibited children are at risk for poorer maths performance : self-concept as mediator

2020

AbstractIt has repeatedly been found that temperamental inhibition and low academic achievement are associated with each other: children with cautious and wary or shy behaviour are at risk for low academic achievement. Several suggestions about the mechanism behind this association have been made, these highlighting for example, the fewer learning opportunities of cautious and wary children and more negative interaction between teachers and inhibited children. However, the empirical studies about these mechanisms are rare and, thus, they have remained unclear. This study examined whether children’s maths-related self-concept of ability acts as a mediator between their temperamental inhibiti…

Relationships between personality traits and values in middle aged men and women

2018

The present study analyzed the relations between the Big Five personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience) and 14 values (societal concern, tolerance, protecting nature, caring, dependability, autonomy of thought, autonomy of action, stimulation, hedonism, achievement, tradition, security, conformity, and power) in middle-aged women and men. The 50-year-old participants (women n = 107 and men n = 105) were drawn from the ongoing Finnish Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development. The personality traits were assessed using the 60-item NEO Five Factor Inventory. Values were measured using the 46-item versi…

Are personality traits a good predictors of the type of watched pornography? Analysis of the relationship between personality traits and the preferen…

2017

The aim of this work was the further exploration of the relationship between selected personality factors and the preference of a given type of pornography. Data from 136 respondents aged between 19 and 56 years was used for the analysis. Selected personality traits were examined using the TIPI-PL questionnaire. Subjects were presented with 25 categories of pornographic films and were asked to select the keywords they use to search for pornography on the Internet. Data exploration has shown that the viewers of pornographic films are characterized by a significantly higher level of extraversion and emotional stability in relation to people who do not use pornography. In addition, it was show…

Personality and body condition have additive effects on motivation to feed in Zebra Finches Taeniopygia guttata

2012

Several hypotheses have been proposed to account for the adaptive evolution of person-ality, defined as inter-individual differences in behaviour that are consistent over timeand across situations. For instance, the ‘pace-of-life syndrome’ hypothesis suggests thatpersonality evolved as a behavioural correlate of life-history trajectories that vary withinpopulations. Thus, proactivity, corresponding to higher exploratory tendencies or higherboldness levels, has been linked to higher productivity or mortality rates. However, theextent to which proactivity is associated with a higher motivation to forage remainspoorly understood. Moreover, although personality and its effects on foraging behavi…

Determining Behavioural Syndromes in Voles - The Effects of Social Environment

2010

Animal personality and behavioural syndromes have experienced rapid increase in interest in the last few years because of their possible role in the evolution of life histories. However, there is still a scarcity of studies concerning the mechanisms maintaining variation in behaviour as well as addressing their relationships to each other. In this paper, we tested the main assumptions of personality, focusing on the individual variability and repeatability of behaviour, and the identification of behavioural syndromes using the common vole (Microtus arvalis) as the species being studied. We also studied the effects of family group characters (group size, sex ratio and affinity to family) on …

<p>Memory performances and personality traits in mothers of children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome</p>

2019

Background Chronic diseases in pediatric age have been identified as stressful risk factors for parents. Studies on caregivers have documented the impact of chronic parenting stress on emotion and cognition. Aim To investigate the differences between a group of mothers of children affected by obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) for at least 4 years and a group of mothers of typically developing children (TDC) in relation to parental stress, self-esteem, locus of control, and memory performances. Methods A group of 86 mothers (mean age 35.6±4.9, ranged between 32 and 41 years) of children with OSAS diagnosis, and a group of 52 mothers of TDC (mean age 35.9±4.2, ranged between 32 and 41 y…
