background suicidal attempt and non-suicidal self-injury are very common in adolescents with a history of childhood maltreatment. by identifying correlates of these kinds of high-risk behaviors, it is possible to prevent and decrease completed suicide. objectives the aims of this study were: 1) to compare adolescents with a history of childhood maltreatment with non-suicidal self injury (nssi) ...

Earthquakes are known to generate disturbances in the ionosphere. Such disturbances, referred as co-seismic ionospheric or ionoquakes, were previously reported for large earthquakes with magnitudes Mw≥ 6.6. This paper reports ionoquakes associated Ridgecrest of magnitude (Mw=6.4), that occurred on 4 July 2019 California, USA. The manifested total electron content (TEC) form traveling (TIDs) wit...

Standard microeconomic theory proves that, when a externality occurs, the solution of the social cost problem requires that the producers face an additional cost identical to the marginal damage caused by them at the efficient level of the externality. Pigouvian taxes, and adequately designed property rights markets, are both political instruments to put this theory into practice. Nevertheless,...

Ecosystem recovery from anthropogenic disturbances, either without human intervention or assisted by ecological restoration, is increasingly occurring worldwide. As ecosystems progress through recovery, it is important to estimate any resulting deficit in biodiversity and functions. Here we use data from 3,035 sampling plots worldwide, to quantify the interim reduction of biodiversity and funct...

fatigue is one of the most frequent symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (ms) and it is difficult to clarify the nature of this symptom and manage it. this study was aimed to evaluate the frequency of fatigue, depression and sleep disturbances in iranian patients with ms. 100 patients from the outpatient ms clinic of sina hospital were asked to complete beck depression inventory (bdi), ...

This paper is aimed at studying disturbances in the earth’s geomagnetic field (GMF), water level (WL) and sea-level atmospheric pressure (AP) associated with Mw≥ 6.6 seismic events Scotia arch, South Atlantic. GMF records from observatories of International Magnetic Observatory Network (INTERMAGNET), WL tide stations Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, hourly AP databases Global Modelin...

the present research article highlights the metal (cd, cu, pb, zn and fe)distribution pattern in the rspm generated in different hot spot sites located at kochi, thequeen of arabian sea. these sampling sites are categorized under three different zonesas estuarine, riverine, and coastal. two sampling phases are selected in order to check theconsistency in pollution trend after a two year gap and...
