Nepal underwent two major earthquakes during 2015 which claimed 9,000 deaths, left more than 23,000 injured, displaced about 2 million people and destroyed about 1,000 health facilities. Emerging health issues and disease outbreaks soon after the earthquakes were major priorities. However, preventive measures such as health education, health promotion and trainings embedded in community engagem...

This study examined how training, dosage, and implementation quality of a social and emotional learning program, The RULER Approach, were related to students’ social and emotional competencies. There were no main effects for any of the variables on student outcomes, but students had more positive outcomes when their teachers (a) attended more trainings and taught more lessons, and (b) were clas...

Although numerous studies provide evidence that active patient engagement with health care providers improves critical outcomes such as medication adherence, very few of these have been done in low resource settings. In Namibia, patient education and empowerment trainings were conducted in four antiretroviral (ART) clinics to increase patient engagement during patient-provider interactions. Thi...

[Purpose] To investigate the effects of Pilates breathing on trunk muscle activation. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-eight healthy female adults were selected for this study. Participants' trunk muscle activations were measured while they performed curl-ups, chest-head lifts, and lifting tasks. Pilates breathing trainings were performed for 60 minutes per each session, 3 times per week for 2 wee...

This study assesses the influence of managerial responses to online customer reviews on product sales. We leverage a natural experiment provided by two online travel agencies. Both agents allow customers to post reviews on hotels, but only one of the travel agents allows hotel management to post managerial responses. Using a difference-in-difference approach, we find that managerial responses h...

Previous research suggests that three-year-olds fail to learn from statistical data when their prior beliefs conflict with evidence. Are children’s beliefs entrenched in their folk theories, or can preschoolers rationally update their beliefs? Motivated by a Bayesian account, we conducted a training study to investigate this question. Children (45 months) who failed to endorse a statistically m...

Materials and Methods: The research method was experimental with a pretest-posttest design, a control group, and a follow-up phase. Using the stratifi...

Blutgefäße werden in interaktiven Medizinsimulationen bisher nur beschränkt dynamisch simuliert. Durch die komplexe Geometrie ist eine umfangreiche Echtzeitsimulation, insbesondere in komplexen Umgebungen, nicht möglich. In dieser Arbeit wird ein effizientes Verfahren zur Gefäßsimulation auf Basis der Gefäßmittellinie und Feder-Masse Systemen beschrieben. Durch dieses Verfahren können Querschni...
