A new synthesis of soluble poly(1,4-phenylenevinylene)s and poly(2,5-pyrimidinylenevinylene)s

1991

Abstract Alkoxy-substituted 4-methylbenzylideneanilines 2a-f and their pyrimidine analogues 2g,h show an efficient selfcondensation in the alkaline medium KOC(CH 3 ) 3 /DMF. The totally stereoselective reaction yields 3a-h which are transformed by acidic work-up to 4a-h . A narrow distribution of the molecular weight can be achieved.

Fine-Tuning of the film thickness of ultrathin multilayer films composed of consecutively alternating layers of anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes

2007

We have recently introduced a new method of creating ultrathin films [1–3] based on the electrostatic attraction between opposite charges. Consecutively, alternating adsorption of anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes leads to the formation of multilayer assemblies. Multilayer buildup is easily monitored by small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). The total thickness of the multilayer assemblies increases linearly with the number of adsorbed layers, indicating a stepwise and regular deposition process. — Here, we report on the fine-tuning of the total film thickness by changing the ionic strength of the solvent from which the polyelectrolytes are adsorbed. When the anionic polyelectrolyte is ad…

Edad de inicio en el consumo, motivos y cantidad de alcohol en la determinación de consecuencias en consumidores intensivos universitarios.

2016

Drinking onset, motives and alcohol use in the prediction of alcohol-related problems in undergraduate binge drinkers. The clinical and social implications derived from binge drinking (BD) in university students cause the need to analyze the factors which contribute to its appearance. This research assesses the influence of the amount of alcohol consumed, drinking onset and the motives associated with this behaviour in the presence of a greater or least number of psychological consequences. 312 first year university students at Valencia University performing BD completed the IECI instrument (Cortes et al., 2012): self report about consumption, associated motives to their consumption and the…

The influence of the physical education teacher on intrinsic motivation, self-confidence, anxiety, and pre-and post-competition mood states

2001

One of the fundamental problems facing teachers of physical education (PE) is how to increase pupils' motivation. From the point of view of goal achievement, guidelines need to be established so that information may be used to greater effect in classes. This study examined the relationship between the motivational climate created by the PE teacher and the intrinsic motivation of the preparatory sessions together with self-confidence and anxiety prior to competition and pre- and post-competition mood states. The sample was made up of school children (M age = 11.7) from a state school (N = 115), who, after an introduction to an athletics course of 12 sessions, took part in a sports competitio…

Development of basic psychological need satisfaction in physical education

2019

Research shows that sports-active students experience more basic need satisfaction (autonomy, competence, relatedness) in physical education (PE) than their non-sports-active peers, and thus, reap most of the benefits of PE. This study aimed to investigate the role of a two-year PE programme, referred to as Interest-based PE, in contributing to students’ basic need satisfaction in PE, and in particular, to assess potential basic needs-benefits among students who were not involved in leisure-time sport. Among 693 students, 348 were offered a choice of two different PE approaches (“explorative” vs. “sports” approach) for the next two years, while the remaining students continued to receive tr…

Evaluation of Support in Singing

2005

Summary This study searched for perceptual, acoustic, and physiological correlates of support in singing. Seven trained professional singers (four women and three men) sang repetitions of the syllable [pa:] at varying pitch and sound levels (1) habitually (with support) and (2) simulating singing without support. Estimate of subglottic pressure was obtained from oral pressure during [p]. Vocal fold vibration was registered with dual-channel electroglottography. Acoustic analyses were made on the recorded samples. All samples were also evaluated by the singers and other listeners, who were trained singers, singing students, and voice specialists without singing education (a total of 63 liste…

Self‐concept of relational skills in psychotherapy trainees: A pilot study

2019

Background: Personal characteristics and relational skills represent central aspects of the psychotherapist's work, and yet, little is still known about them in the context of psychotherapy training. Objective: This paper presents a preliminary exploration of the self-concepts of relational skills in psychotherapy trainees. Changes in the self-concept in N = 131 psychotherapy trainees were explored through analysis of self-image ideal-self and self/ ideal-self discrepancy in two stages (beginning vs. advanced). Method: Data were collected with a modified version of the self-rated instruments Trainee Background Information Form and Trainee Current Practice Report (Orlinsky et al., 2015), and…
