The vital role individual differences, such as personality variation, play has long been discussed as the origin of different learning abilities. Accordingly, a cross-sectional survey and a descriptive study was conducted. Data was gathered from a sample of 150 students of both genders (107 females and 43 males) with an age range of 19-22. The translated and validated versions of the Big Five p...

heart failure (hf) is a common disease with high health care costs and high mortality rate knowledge of the health-related quality of life (qol) outcomes of hf may guide decision making and be useful in assessing new therapies for population. yet little is known about qol of hf patients in iran. objectives: to assess health related qol of patients with hf with two different instrument and to co...

Although there is suggestive evidence that a link exists between independent walking and the ability to establish anticipatory strategy to stabilize posture, the extent to which this skill facilitates the development of anticipatory postural control remains largely unknown. Here, we examined the role of independent walking on the infants' ability to anticipate predictable external perturbations...

BACKGROUND Given the unfavourable health outcomes associated with sedentary behaviours, there is a need to better understand the context in which these behaviours take place to better address this public health concern. We explored self-reported sedentary behaviours by type of day (work/non-work), occupation, and perceptions towards physical activity, in a large sample of adults. METHODS We a...

OBJECTIVES To identify women's complaints about pain in the immediate postpartum of vaginal delivery and cesarean section; to measure the intensity of pain in postpartum women at rest and with selected movements and to compare the activity limitations in relation to the mode of delivery and parity. METHOD Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Eighty-six women, in the immediate po...

PURPOSE This study investigated the variance in sitting, walking, and moderate and vigorous physical activity explained by neighborhood design and recreational environmental variables above and beyond the variance accounted for by individual demographic variables. DESIGN Cross-sectional analyses of self-reported survey data. SETTING A random sample of inhabitants of Ghent, Belgium, aged 18-...

The connection between analytic and Monte Carlo calculations of soft gluon emission is reanalyzed in light of recent, theoretical developments in resummation. An alternative Monte Carlo algorithm is suggested which incorporates (1) corrections beyond leading order to the showering and (2) smoothly merges with the higher order calculation of single, hard parton emission. In particular, it is pos...

Dot arrays are often used to study basic numerical skills across cultures, species and development. Researchers investigate the ability of subjects to discriminate between dot arrays, as a function of the ratio or distance between their numerosities. Such studies have contributed significantly to the number sense theory (i.e., that humans are born with the ability to process numerosities, and s...
