In this comparative intervention study, 107 working individuals with above average levels of distress were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; n = 37); stress inoculation training (SIT; n = 37); or a waitlist control group (n = 33). The interventions were delivered to small groups in the workplace via two half-day training sessions. ACT and SIT ...

ONSIDERABLE effort, in recent years, has been devoted to improving individual, unit, and organisational effectiveness, primarily through the implementation of various types of human resources management policies and practices. Such efforts have yielded mixed results, and we believe this is because the focus of attention has been on the interface of the individual employee with the organisation ...

This paper sets out to adduce visual evidence for Kroneckerian finitism by making perspicuous some of the insights that buttress Kronecker’s conception of arithmetization as a process aiming at disclosing the arithmetical essence enshrined in analytical formulas, by spotting discrete patterns through algorithmic fine-tuning. In the light of a fairly tractable case study, it is argued that Krone...

Uterine fibroids ranked as the major reason for hysterectomy. leiomyomata (also called and myomas) represent localized proliferation of smooth muscle cells surrounded by a pseudocapsule compressed fibers. Fibroids are dependent on estrogen progesterone to grow therefore relevant only during reproductive years, they expected shrink after menopause. In India prevalence uterine (fibromyoma/leiomyo...

PURPOSE We present a consensus view of members of the International Children's Continence Society on the management of dysfunctional voiding in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS Discussions were held by the board of the International Children's Continence Society and a multi-disciplinary core group of authors was appointed. The draft document review process was open to all International Childre...

Spoken utterances contain few reliable cues to word boundaries, but listeners nonetheless experience little difficulty identifying words in continuous speech. The authors present data and simulations that suggest that this ability is best accounted for by a model of spoken-word recognition combining competition between alternative lexical candidates, and sensitivity to prosodic structure. In a ...

Speaking is a complex natural behavior that most people master very well. Nevertheless, systematic investigation of the factors that affect adaptive control over speech production is relatively scarce. The present experiments quantified and compared inhibitory control over manual and verbal responses using the stop-signal paradigm. In tasks with only two response alternatives, verbal expression...

Historically, quantitation of virus-specific CD8+ T cells has been accomplished by limiting dilution analysis of cytotoxic precursor cells. Recent studies have shown that this technique greatly underestimates the actual number of antigen-specific cells and have provided new insight into anti-viral immune responses.
