Trends in multiple recurrent health complaints in 15-year-olds in 35 countries in Europe, North America and Israel from 1994 to 2010

2015

Background: Health complaints are a good indicator of an individual’s psychosocial health and well-being. Studies have shown that children and adolescents report health complaints which can cause significant individual burden. Methods: Using data from the international Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study, this article describes trends in multiple recurrent health complaints (MHC) in 35 countries among N = 237 136 fifteen-year-olds from 1994 to 2010. MHC was defined as the presence of two or more health complaints at least once a week. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate trends across the five survey cycles for each country. Results: Lowest prevalence thro…

Trends in health complaints from 2002 to 2010 in 34 countries and their association with health behaviours and social context factors at individual a…

BACKGROUND: This article describes trends and stability over time in health complaints in adolescents from 2002 to 2010 and investigates associations between health complaints, behavioural and social contextual factors at individual level and economic factors at macro-level.METHODS: Comprising N = 510 876 11-, 13- and 15-year-old children and adolescents in Europe, North America and Israel, data came from three survey cycles of the international Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study. Age- and gender-adjusted trends in health complaints were examined in each country by means of linear regression. By using the country as the random effects variable, we tested to what extent in…

Candidate genetic pathways for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show association to hyperactive/impulsive symptoms in children with AD…

2013

Item does not contain fulltext OBJECTIVE: Because multiple genes with small effect sizes are assumed to play a role in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) etiology, considering multiple variants within the same analysis likely increases the total explained phenotypic variance, thereby boosting the power of genetic studies. This study investigated whether pathway-based analysis could bring scientists closer to unraveling the biology of ADHD. METHOD: The pathway was described as a predefined gene selection based on a well-established database or literature data. Common genetic variants in pathways involved in dopamine/norepinephrine and serotonin neurotransmission and genes involv…

Saproxylic beetle assemblages of three managed oak woodlands in the Eastern Mediterranean

2008

Oak woodlands belong to the natural vegetation in most Mediterranean regions but have suffered from a long history of woodland devastation and overgrazing. The remaining woodlands have been managed in different ways, and we expected this to have effects on the fauna associated with trees. We investigated three different sites in the Eastern Mediterranean with flight-interception traps to analyse the impact of woodland management on dead wood and tree structures and the relevance for saproxylic beetle assemblages. Our results show significant differences in trunk diameter, stein density and dead wood diversity between the three sites. Old oaks in semi-open woodland are characterised by diver…

State of Training, Clinical Services, and Research on Dual Disorders Across France, India, Israel, and Spain.

2016

This article overviews training, clinical services, and research on dual disorders across four countries: France, India, Israel, and Spain.The current dual disorders systems in each of the four countries were reviewed, with a focus on strengths and limitations of each.In France, psychiatric care occurs within the public health care system and involves little training of medical graduates for managing dual disorders. Special courses and forums for specialists have recently started to meet the growing interest of physicians in learning how to manage dual disorders. The Indian health care system grapples with a large treatment gap for mental disorders, and while some treatment services for dua…

‘Stars’ or ‘professionals’: the imagined vocation and exclusive knowledge of translators in Israel

2010

Amb l’examen de la professionalització suspesa de l’ocupació traductora a Israel, aquest article estudia dos tipus de discursos d’autopresentació i estratègies d’estatus: d’una banda, els dels traductors literaris, i de l’altra, els dels traductors tècnics, subtituladors i traductors literaris que no pertanyen a l’elit. L’anàlisi del primer grup es fonamenta en diversos centenars d’articles retrat i altres reportatges en els mitjans de comunicació, que situen en primer pla 23 traductors reconeguts, mentre que la del segon grup es basa en resultats provisionals d’entrevistes obertes amb 22 treballadors de la traducció no pertanyents a l’elit (seleccionats a partir d’una mostra més àmplia reu…
