Abstract Objective: To identify the prevalence of and to determine risk factors for developing a fear childbirth (tokophobia). Methods: We evaluated 191 pregnant women during Parenting Childbirth Classes. Participants were approached when attending Classes between June 2014 September asked complete several questionnaires related depression (CES-D), anxiety (STAI X1 X2), satisfaction with life (SWLS), delivery expectation/experience (W-DEQ), specific fears. Results: Most (90%) responders...

A design that included both microgenetic and cross‐sectional components was used to examine 135 Slovenian children's acquisition of matrix completion proficiency compare age‐related changes on the task. The analyses indicated errors became increasingly variable shortly before they discovered correct strategy, strategy dominant quite quickly following its initial use, improvements in performance generalized conservation, amount learning correlated positively with IQ....

Learning of class inclusion by 5‐year‐olds in response to empirical and logical explanations an adult's answers was examined. Contrary the view that young children possess bias, learned more, continued learning for longer, when given correct than explanations. Once discovered how solve problems, they showed few regressions. Many microgenetic experiment followed path change anticipated from previous cross‐sectional studies, but part study seemed follow a different path. Reasons superior...

The main objective of the present study was to investigate factors related seafarers’ mental health. A sample seafarers from 12 countries participated in study. list stressors used assess both perception exposure these and their subjective significance. Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) health on 5 9 subscales: Depression, Anxiety, Hostility, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Somatisation. Three significant findings emerged analyses. first that 3 types contribute significantly problems: (1) environmental...

ABSTRACT This study provides an interdisciplinary account determining how children and adolescents understand urban architectural aspects of sustainable development. The concept sustainability implies complex relations between ethical, economical, social, technical other qualities our environment. is difficult to for who lack the abilities abstract reasoning multi‐dimensional thinking. A new measure understanding was formed based on pictorial rather than textual format applied a large sample...

This paper is intended to give an overview of the experiments evaluate cognitive load officer on watch (OOW) during a collision avoidance maneuver in full-mission simulator. The main goal investigate possibilities recording biometric parameters OOW simulated maneuver. Potentially dangerous navigation errors known as human erroneous action (HEA) are induced by excessive load. Despite modern navigational aids ship’s bridge, investigators maritime incidents typically link reason for at sea with...

Travel time data and variability of travel times can be used to quantify the network performance as an important aspect sustainable development in modern cities. We introduce a collection analysis framework employed integral part neighbourhood sustainability assessment (NSA). The proposed performs targeted selection evaluation indicators based on publicly available traffic data, specifically addressing short-term observations counts. Entailing hybrid modular approach, we demonstrate...

The purpose of this study is to analyse data from the marine pilots' bio-sensor readings determine how experience affects their biometrical response during port approach. experiences play a significant role in participant's decision-making process and correlate with repetitions. Through repetitions experimental task, participants gain experience, which correlates response, e.g., heart rate, electrodermal activity, etc. After exposing two experience-distinct groups same simulated...

The study examined the use of maladaptive coping strategies such as conflict, avoidance and self-blame in predicting anxiety depression couples undergoing IVF procedure. target group consisted 80 who started treatment at Division Obstetrics Gynaecology, Ljubljana's University Medical Centre Slovenia. participants completed three scales: S/T Anxiety Inventory, CES Depression Scale, Marital Coping Inventory. results showed increased rates compared to normative population; 18% women 14% men...

The rapid evolution of information and communications technologies has brought the potential held by urban analytics up to a higher level thus promises more well-informed decisions, including advances in assessment methodologies monitoring based on existing data its reuse. paper provides an insight into ongoing national research project examining integration for purpose progress as regards sustainability quality environments. Specifically, we focus neighbourhoods; measuring extent which...

Maritime studies, encompassing a range of disciplines, increasingly rely on advanced data analytics, particularly in the context navigation. As technology advances, statistical averaging large datasets has become critical component these analyses. However, recent studies have highlighted discrepancies between predictions and observable realities, especially high-stress environments like port approach procedures conducted by marine pilots. This study analyzed physiological responses recorded...

Our behaviour towards the environment depends on our beliefs about environment. Beliefs, however, are a subject of change, particularly during important life transitions such as transition to adolescence, because this is period when an individual develops ability complex and abstract reasoning. Understanding therefore crucial for understanding predicting attitudes courses action in terms sustainable development later life. Due many methodological constraints, number empirical studies...

Abstract Data from previous studies show that YouTube and YouTubers have become an integral part of adolescents' lives a significant impact on how adolescents view themselves the world around them. Previous suggest parasocial relationships with are likely to some characteristics differ those traditional celebrities, such as reciprocity or illusion intimacy. The question this study was why so attractive what main components attractiveness. A sample 39 aged 11 20 who were fans at least one...
