We predicted that adopting a performance-approach vs. performance-avoidance goal would lead to physiological responses characteristic of psychological states of challenge vs. threat appraisals, respectively. Furthermore, we predicted that these states would mediate the effects of goals on performance. Twenty-seven undergraduate females performed a task described as identifying either exceptiona...

Vaccination has been the most effective approach in fight against COVID-19 pandemic. More than half of world’s population vaccinated and sufficient data is available to analyze impact vaccines around globe. In this paper, we present a correlation analysis between administered vaccine doses cases/deaths Europe. The performed considering different types vaccinations, age groups variants (includin...

Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) systems across Europe are very heterogeneous, in particular because of different classification variables and algorithms as well as costing methodologies. But, given the challenge of increasing patient mobility within Europe, health systems are forced to incorporate a common patient classification language in order to compare and identify similar patients e.g. for ...

BACKGROUND/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The phenomenon of Neolithisation refers to the transition of prehistoric populations from a hunter-gatherer to an agro-pastoralist lifestyle. Traditionally, the spread of an agro-pastoralist economy into Europe has been framed within a dichotomy based either on an acculturation phenomenon or on a demic diffusion. However, the nature and speed of this transition is ...

This study aimed to evaluate venous hemodynamic and morphological changes and associated factors in patients with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs), to provide evidence for rational clinical use of PICCs. Venography was performed at different time points in 87 patients with PICCs to observe hemodynamic, morphological, and structural changes. Related laboratory blood tests were als...

CODYRUN is a software for computational aeraulic and thermal simulation in buildings developed by the Laboratory of Building Physics and Systems (L.P.B.S). Numerical simulation codes of artificial lighting have been introduced to extend the tool capacity. These calculation codes are able to predict the amount of light received by any point of a given working plane and from one or more sources i...

Six of the seven Technical Committees of CIE Division 8 met in Scottsdale, AZ in conjunction with the recent IS&T 10th Color Imaging Conference. In addition, Todd Newman, Director of CIE Division 8, presented a Division 8 update as part of the conference. Therefore, it seems appropriate to make CIE Division 8, Image Technology, the focus of this Standards Update. My appreciation to Todd for all...
