School teaching seems to be particularly stressful. The stress model of Lazarus and colleagues its adaptation educational settings by Kyriacou Sutcliffe is the basis for an analysis antecedents consequences teacher stress.The first aim was test theoretical on a large sample using structural equation statistics (study I). results should then cross-validated enlarged additional operationalisations II).Heterogeneous samples German school teachers I: N = 356, study II: 201).In I, standardised...
We report measurements of ultrahigh magnetic fields produced during intense ( approximately 10(20) Wcm(-2) micro m(2) ) laser interaction experiments with solids. show that polarization high-order vuv harmonics generated the (up to 15th order) suggest existence field strengths 0.7+/-0.1 GG in overdense plasma. Measurements using higher order indicate denser regions plasma can be probed. This technique may useful for multi- level which are predicted occur at even intensities.
Rituximab (RTX) has been used successfully for the treatment of severe Jo1 antibody-associated antisynthetase syndrome. The aim this retrospective study was to evaluate effect RTX in syndrome and determine predictive factors response.There were 61 patients with identified; 18 these received RTX. One patient lost followup. remaining 17 30 out 43 who treated conventional immunosuppressive (IS) drugs followed a mean 35 months 84 months, respectively.Polymyositis/dermatomyositis (95%)...
Recent data revealed the existence of specific receptors for glucagon-like peptide-1(7–36)amide (GLP-1) on rat lung membranes. Utilizing slide-mount autoradiography fresh frozen tissue sections, we have localized binding sites GLP-1 mucous glands in trachea and vascular smooth muscle pulmonary artery. When tracheas were incubated a modified Ussing chamber, addition to submucosal side increased 35S-sulfate-labeled macromolecule secretion (191 +/- 12% above basal, P < 0.005). The optimal...
Research suggests that social fear of crime and prejudice towards minority groups may be linked. We investigated (Ntotal = 7712) whether a group is stereotyped as more criminal (refugees) strongly associated with than less (homosexual individuals); predicts or vice versa. used mixed-method approach to show refugees are homosexual individuals (pre-test). Subgroup characteristics the criminally group, such country origin (Study 1a) flight motive 1b) refugees, qualified prejudice-fear link....
The epidemiology of hepatitis B in hospital personnel was studied by testing sera from 3,770 employees the Medical School Hannover (Hannover, West Germany) for surface antigen (HBsAg) and its corresponding antibody (anti-HBs) solid-phase radioimmunoassay. An average prevalence 2.2% HBsAg 11.7% anti-HBs found. Physicians (18.2%), nurses (20.1%), members cleaning service (26.3%) showed highest frequencies or carriage. In a study age- sex-matched personnel, significantly (P less than 0.01)...
Abstract Air pollution remains a leading cause of many respiratory diseases including chronic cough. Although episodes incidental, dramatic air are relatively rare, current levels exposure pollutants in industrialized and developing countries such as total articles, diesel exhaust particles common cigarette smoke may be responsible for the development cough both children adults. The present study analyses effects environmental factors potential causes Different PubMed-based researches were...
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), the oxidation product of nitric oxide (NO), is a reactive free radical forming gas, inhalation which has been reported to induce severe damage distal airways. In order quantify dose and time course parenchymal vascular damage, rats were exposed 5, 10 20 ppm NO2 for 3 25 days, followed by quantitative histology morphometry lung. Histological investigations short-term animals showed structural alterations extending from slight interstitial oedema after exposure 5 ppm,...
Hypersecretion and chronic phlegm are major symptoms of obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but animal models COPD with a defined functional hypersecretion have not been established so far. To identify an model combined morphological signs airway inflammation hypersecretion, rats were continuously exposed to different levels sulfur dioxide (SO2, 5 ppm, 10 20 40 80 ppm) for 3 (short-term) or 20-25 (long-term) days. Histology revealed dose-dependent increase in edema formation inflammatory...
The compelling physical properties of the recently discovered ferroelectric phase in thin film Hf x Zr1-x O2 have opened a window for applications such as non-volatile resistive switching memory devices with high retention known tunnel junctions. In this article, we investigate stability these two-terminal, polarization induced resistance-switching respect to statistical reproducibility constitutive electrical parameters based on surface thickness inhomogeneities. We provide straightforward,...
