Addressing the under-researched issue of weapon tolerance, paper examines factors behind male knife and gun tolerance across four different cultures, seeking to rank them in terms predictive power shed light on relations between them. To this end, regression structural equation modelling analyses were conducted using samples from US ( n = 189), India 196), England 107) Poland 375). Each sample participants indicated their standing several dimensions (i.e., predictors) derived theory related...
The present research explores working memory (WM) development in monolingual as well emergent bilingual children immersed an L2 at school. Evidence from recent years suggests that bilingualism may boost domain‐general executive control, but impair nonexecutive linguistic processing. Both are relevant for verbal WM, different paradigms currently use vary the degree to which they reflect these subprocesses. We found only younger immersion students outperformed monolinguals on n‐back task, a...
Text comprehension relies on high-level cognitive processes as it is the ability to revise an erroneous inference. Recent models of language processing hold that native proactive in nature (highly predictive), whereas seems be weaker second language. However, if a prediction fails because unexpected information encountered, reactive needed previous information. Twenty-four highly proficient late bilinguals were presented with narratives L1-English and L2-Spanish. Each text demanded revision...
Current approaches to the prevention, detection, treatment, and monitoring of postmenopausal osteoporosis are discussed. In United States, 44 million men women ages 50 years or older have low bone mass osteoporosis. The most devastating consequence this disease is fractures. assessment risk includes determining factors, conducting laboratory physical examinations, measuring density bone-turnover markers. Once has been established, nonpharmacologic strategies, such as exercise, appropriate...
