We have previously concluded that the use of the Antonovsky Sense of Coherence (SOC) scale was unable to document a predicted strong association between SOC and physical health. By way of statistical methods numerous studies have investigated the validity, reliability, and applicability of the SOC scale with positive results. However, this paper analyses whether the questions in the SOC scale a...

We report T2 spin coherence times for electronic states localized in Si vacancies in 4H -SiC. Our spin coherence study included two SiC samples that were irradiated with 2 MeV protons at different fluences (1013 and 1014 cm−2) in order to create samples with unique defect concentrations. Using optically detected magnetic resonance and spin echo, the coherence times for each sample were measured...

This paper presents a text summarization system for the Spanish language that combines classic techniques in automatic summarization with less frequent ones, like anaphora resolution and cohesive markers detection in order to fight the lack of coherence intrinsic to automatic text excerpts.

concerns regarding the trans-pacific partnership (tpp) have raised awareness about the negative public health impacts of trade and investment agreements. in the past decade, we have learned much about the implications of trade agreements for public health: reduced equity in access to health services; increased flows of unhealthy commodities; limits on access to medicines; and constrained policy...

Abstract Background People suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) seem to have incoherent autobiographical narratives. Tentative evidence suggests that reduced narrative coherence of memories is associated with insecure attachment. However, it remains unknown whether narratives in people BPD are coupled experiences childhood trauma, which highly prevalent BPD. Method We examined i...

Becoming aware of errors that one has committed might be crucial for strategic behavioral and neuronal adjustments to avoid similar errors in the future. This review addresses conscious error perception ("error awareness") in healthy subjects as well as the relationship between error awareness and neurological and psychiatric diseases. We first discuss the main findings on error awareness in he...

In the Colored Bin Packing problem a sequence of items of sizes up to 1 arrives to be packed into bins of unit capacity. Each item has one of c ≥ 2 colors and an additional constraint is that we cannot pack two items of the same color next to each other in the same bin. The objective is to minimize the number of bins. In the important special case when all items have size zero, we characterize ...

Background: Job performance is one of the most fundamental concepts in organizations, based on which, the responsibilities and success of each individual in the organization are formed.  The main objective of the current study was to investigate the mediating role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) and professional ethics, and the job perfor...
