Video game addiction in gambling disorder: clinical, psychopathological, and personality correlates

2014

Objective. We studied the prevalences of video game use (VGU) and addiction (VGA) in gambling disorder (GD) patients and compared them with subjects with non-video game use (non-VGU) in relation to their gambling behavior, psychopathology, and personality characteristics.Method. A sample of 193 GD patients (121 non-VGU, 43 VGU, and 29 VGA) consecutively admitted to our pathological gambling unit participated in the study.Assessment. Measures included the video game dependency test (VDT), symptom checklist-90-revised, and the temperament and character inventory-revised, as well as a number of other GD indices.Results. In GD, the observed prevalence of VG (use or addiction) was 37.3% (95% CI:…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) vs. non-HCC: accuracy and reliability of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System v2018

2019

PURPOSE: The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) was created to standardize the diagnostic criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and has undergone multiple revisions including a recent update in 2018 (v2018). The primary aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance and interrater reliability (IRR) of LI-RADS v2018 for distinguishing HCC from non-HCC primary hepatic malignancy in patients ‘at-risk’ for HCC. A secondary aim was to assess the impact of changes introduced in the v2018 diagnostic algorithm. METHODS: This retrospective study combined a 10-year experience of pathologically-proven primary liver malignancies from two large liver transplant cente…

“Now I Feel That I Can Achieve Something”: Young Tanzanian Women’s Experiences of Empowerment by Participating in Health Promotion Campaigns

2021

The United Nations (UN) emphasizes that health promotion, education, and empowerment of women are all goals that will help to end poverty. In eastern rural Tanzania, young women who dropped out of school now take an active part in health promotion campaigns in schools and villages through the youth program “Innovative and Productive Youth”, which is administered by the nongovernmental organization Hatua na Maendeleo (HAMA). The aim of this qualitative study was to explore how some of these young Tanzanian women experience participating in health promotion campaigns. A hermeneutic phenomenology design with focus group interviews was used. The study’s participants were nine young women betwee…

Alfonso el Magnánimo, Valencia y la 'compra' de la jurisdicción de Morvedre (1416-1420)

2022

Estudio de base documental que examina a través de fuentes regias y municipales la con- fluencia de intereses entre la monarquía y las elites de la ciudad de Valencia, que determi- naron la resolución del conflicto jurisdiccional con la villa de Morvedre (actual Sagunt), en 1420. Pues dirimir entre la independencia de una villa real histórica que se mostró afín al bando liderado por el linaje nobiliario de los Centelles, partidarios del ascenso al trono de Fernando de Antequera durante el Interregno, o hacer prevalecer las relaciones de sinergia con el patriciado de la capital fue una de las primeras decisiones a las que se enfrentaron los Trastámara en el reino de Valencia. Documentary bas…

Pseudodifferential Analysis on Manifolds with Boundary — a Comparison of b-Calculus and Cone Algebra

2001

We establish a relation between two different approaches to a complete pseudodifferential analysis of totally characteristic or Fuchs type operators on compact manifolds with boundary respectively conical singularities: Melrose’s (overblown) b-calculus and Schulze’s cone algebra. Though quite different in their definition, we show that these two pseudodifferential calculi basically contain the same operators.

The role of virtual work in Levi-Civita's parallel transport

2015

The current literature on history of science reports that Levi-Civita’s parallel transport was motivated by his attempt to provide the covariant derivative of the absolute differential calculus with a geometrical interpretation (For instance, see Scholz in The intersection of history and mathematics, Birkhauser, Basel, pp 203–230, 1994, Sect. 4). Levi-Civita’s memoir on the subject was explicitly aimed at simplifying the geometrical computation of the curvature of a Riemannian manifold. In the present paper, we wish to point out the possible role implicitly played by the principle of virtual work in Levi-Civita’s conceptual reasoning to formulate parallel transport.

More indefinite integrals from Riccati equations

2019

ABSTRACTTwo new methods for obtaining indefinite integrals of a special function using Riccati equations are presented. One method uses quadratic fragments of the Riccati equation, the solutions of...
