Factors associated with the subjective health complaints among adolescents: Results from the ASSO Project

2019

Objectives. Subjective health complaints (e.g. headache and feeling low) are common among adolescents. The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with the subjective health of adolescents from a population-based point of view. Material and methods. A sample of 712 students was recruited within the web-based Project ASSO (Adolescents and Surveillance System for the Obesity prevention), funded by the Italian Ministry of Health and piloted in Palermo. A 0-100 quantitative score (arbitrarily named "psychosomatic malaise index") based on the frequency of occurrence of seven subjective health complaints was created and used as outcome; socio-demographic characteristics, me…

Are Treatment Gains Maintained? Long-term Psychological Interventions for Bordeline Personality Disorder

2017

IntroductionMany new approaches have been developed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD) by means of psychotherapy. Though there is a clear research trend towards short-interventions, the evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCT) on longer-term programmes still accumulates. On the one hand, well-established treatments like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) or Mentalisation-Based Treatment (MBT) are now subject to real-world effectiveness studies; on the other hand, new dynamic approaches have been studied, lasting longer than 6 months.ObjectivesWe are currently updating the cochrane Collaboration review on psychological interventions for BPD. First findings on the effects …

Comparison of adjuvant and adjuvant-free murine experimental asthma models

2009

Introduction The most widely used protocol for the induction of experimental allergic airway inflammation in mice involves sensitization by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of the antigen ovalbumin (OVA) used in conjunction with the adjuvant aluminium hydroxide (alum). Although adjuvants are frequently used, there are questions regarding the necessity of alum for murine asthma studies due to the non-physiological nature of this chemical. Objective The objective of this study was to compare experimental asthma phenotypes between adjuvant and adjuvant-free protocols of murine allergic airway inflammation in an attempt to develop a standardized alternative to adjuvant use. Method An adjuvant-…

Feasibility of a personal health technology-based psychological intervention for men with stress and mood problems: Randomized controlled pilot trial

2013

BackgroundWork-related stress is a significant problem for both people and organizations. It may lead to mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression, resulting in increased work absences and disabilities. Scalable interventions to prevent and manage harmful stress can be delivered with the help of technology tools to support self-observations and skills training. ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of the P4Well intervention in treatment of stress-related psychological problems. P4Well is a novel intervention which combines modern psychotherapy (the cognitive behavioral therapy and the acceptance and commitment therapy) with personal health technologies to deliv…

Responses to ultraviolet radiation in larval pike, Esox lucius, of two origins and ages

2007

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced mortality and behavioural disorder were studied in larval northern pike of two origins and ages. Newly hatched larvae of two differently coloured populations and six-day-old larvae of one population were exposed to four fluence rates of UVR, resulting in total doses from 11.5 to 63 kJ m–2, and monitored for mortality and behaviour. The rate of mortality and the severity of behavioural disorder differed by origin and age of the animals, but the effect was fluence-rate dependent. Total melanin concentration of newly hatched larvae was measured to assess if sensitivity to UVR correlated with pigmentation, but no differences in melanin concentration between l…

Zn2+ and Cu2+ complexes of a fluorescent scorpiand-type oxadiazole azamacrocyclic ligand: crystal structures, solution studies and optical properties

2020

A ligand comprised of a macrocyclic pyridinophane core having a pendant arm containing a secondary amine group linked through a methylene spacer to a pyridyl–oxadiazole–phenyl (PyPD) fluorescent system has been prepared (L). The crystal structures of [ZnL](ClO4)2 and [CuL](ClO4)2 show that M2+ is coordinated to all the nitrogen atoms of the macrocyclic core, the secondary amine of the pendant arm and the nitrogen atom of the pyridine group of the fluorescent moiety, the latter bond being clearly weaker than the one with the pyridine of the macrocycle. Solution studies showed the formation of a highly stable Cu2+ complex with 1 : 1 stoichiometry, whereas with Zn2+ least stable complexes were…

Miega problēmu saistība ar autovadīšanas kvalitāti

2021

Konkrētā pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot vai starp miega problēmām un autovadīšanas kvalitāti pastāv nozīmīgas saistības, kā arī kādi varētu būt autovadīšanas uzvedības un attieksmes prognozētāji. Datu analīzē tika izmantoti 94 respondentu dati vecumā no 19 līdz 75 (M=36, SD=13). Respondenti aizpildīja Aiovas miega traucējumu, Autovadītāju uzvedības un Attieksmes pret pārgalvīgu braukšanu aptaujas. Tika secināts, ka gurdums ir pozitīvi nozīmīgi saistīts ar pārkāpumiem, bīstamām kļūdām un nejaušības kļūdām, kā arī attieksmi pret pārkāpumiem. Gurdums nozīmīgi prognozēja attieksmi pret pārkāpumiem. Attieksme pret pārkāpumiem un izdevību izmantošanu, kā arī vecums nozīmīgi prognozēja pārkāpumus…

Modélisation des choix d'itinéraires pédestres en milieu urbain. Approche géographique et paysagère

2006

Nowadays, on foot journeys create renewed interest as a complementary mode of transport. Indeed, local decision makers appear as willing to reduce the imbalance between different ways of transport within the cities. In the field of Geography the term ‘mobility' refers to the practice of exchanges and movements done by individuals or groups of individuals; this mobility is likely to reveal the characteristics of places and to contribute to their alteration. Among all the modes of transport, walking implies a privileged relation between persons and area they live in. As an element of the living environment used on a daily basis and eventually integrated by the prism of perception the visible …
