The present study investigated disclosure patterns among mental health consumers (N = 500) and examined the relationships disclosure, perceived stigmatization, social support, self-esteem. Results suggest that selective optimizes support limits stigmatization. Perceived stigmatization has a detrimental impact on self-esteem, especially for those who are relatively open about their disorder.
Epidemiological studies suggest that foods rich in flavonoids might reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The objective present study was to investigate effect green tea extract (GTE) used as a food antioxidant on markers oxidative status after dietary depletion catechins. designed 2×3 weeks blinded human cross-over intervention (eight smokers, eight non-smokers) with GTE corresponding daily intake 18·6 mg catechins/d. incorporated into meat patties consumed strictly...
Objective. The revised version of the Screen for Childhood Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED‐R) is a recently developed self‐report questionnaire measuring DSM‐IV defined anxiety disorder symptoms in children. current study examined treatment sensitivity SCARED‐R. Methods. Thirty‐six children (aged 8‐13 years) who fulfilled criteria generalized disorder, separation and/or social phobia received either group or individual cognitive‐behavioural treatment. Children completed SCARED‐R...
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate negative automatic thoughts and anxiety control as predictors change produced by cognitive-behavioral treatment youths with disorders. Forty-five high-anxious children aged between 9 12 years who were selected from primary school population, received a standardized CBT intervention that provided in group format. Before after intervention, completed scales perceived over anxiety-related events well questionnaire for measuring DSM-defined...
Background Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) is a relatively new therapeutic technique that has been proposed as treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder other anxiety complaints. Method We compared the efficacy of EMDR with exposure in viv . specific phobia. Twenty-two spider-phobic children who met DSM – III R criteria phobia participated study. Children were treated one session crossover design. Treatment outcome was evaluated by self-report measures, behavioural...
Antioxidant effects may constitute part of the possible antiatherogenic amino acid l ‐arginine. These antioxidant properties were further characterized in a model lipoprotein oxidation. Oxidation lipoproteins unfractionated human serum was continuously monitored by fluorescent probe. The ‐arginine, N ‐α‐acetyl‐arginine and vitamin E combination with ‐arginine measured after initiation free radical generation either copper or 2,2′‐azobis(2‐amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH). half‐time fast...
Abstract Introduction This study examined what methods people use to determine and interpret their body weight, factors are associated with either an underestimation of overweight or overestimation a healthy weight. Method The used self‐reported data on weight height. Data were collected by means questionnaires ( n = 722). Results In comparison unaware individuals, aware respondents had significantly lower score comparing that others listening remarks from as same was true for correct...
We used fluorogenic substrates, namely, alkyldiacyl glycerols labeled with a fluorophore and fluorescence quencher, to measure lipase activities. For this optical assay it is necessary that the water-insoluble substrates are dispersed in an aqueous medium presence of appropriate detergents order obtain well-defined reproducible systems high transparency. The activity lipases critically depends on supramolecular organization substrate. Therefore, we tested different solutions containing...
This paper suggests the combination of cognitive and structural modelling as a formal framework for intelligent learning systems. It takes up distinction between declarative (conceptual) procedural (action) knowledge in sense ACT-R. Additionally, prerequisite relations skills domain are captured according to Competence-based Knowledge Space Theory. Benefits, drawbacks, TEL applications outlined approaches discussed.

The ELeGI project focuses on integrating technology-enhanced learning methodologies into a pedagogy-driven and service-oriented architecture based Grid technology. It aims at system that is capable of realising personalised, adaptive, experiential learning. This requires to have available framework that, the one hand, allows for representing existing domain knowledge, and, other provides representation learner’s current state knowledge. shown competence-based extension Knowledge Space Theory...
Ziel dieses systematischen Reviews ist die Erfassung des internationalen Forschungsstands zu Diagnostik und Therapie Posttraumatischer Belastungsstörungen bei erwachsenen Menschen mit intellektueller Beeinträchtigung. Durchgeführt wurde eine Internetrecherche nach PRISMA-Standard für 1990 bis 2020. Nach Anwendung der Ausschlusskriterien konnten sechs Studien zur neun eingeschlossen werden. Die qualitative Auswertung zeigt erste, ermutigende Evidenzbelege zwei diagnostische Instrumente...
