This study explored the associations between adolescents’ assertive behaviour, psychological well-being and self-esteem. The sample consisted of 1023 students (14.9±0.51; 47.6% boys). Two dimensions of the Scale for Interpersonal Behaviour (distress and performance), two factors of the General Health Questionnaire-12 (depression/anxiety and social dysfunction) and two factors of the Rosenberg S...

We show that the Hochschild–Kostant–Rosenberg map from the space of multivector fields on a graded manifold N (endowed with a Berezinian volume) to the cohomology of the algebra of multidifferential operators on N (as a subalgebra of the Hochschild complex of C∞(N)) is an isomorphism of Batalin–Vilkovisky algebras. These results generalize to differential graded manifolds.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between self-esteem, locus of control and multidimensional perfectionism, and the extent to which the variables of self-esteem, locus of control and multidimensional perfectionism contribute to the prediction of subjective well-being. The study was carried out with 318 final year (fourth grade) university students. Subjec...

Interpersonal theories of self-esteem assume that the importance that others place on oneself contributes to individual levels of self-esteem. Recent studies further suggest a possible link between self-esteem and the endocrine stress response, mediated through individual levels of locus of control, without taking levels of social approval into account. The present set of studies aimed to explo...

abstract background: self-esteem is a determinant factor of mental health. individuals with low self-esteem have depression, and low self-esteem is one of main symptoms of depression. aim of this study is to compare the effects of problem-solving skills and relaxation on the score of self-esteem in women with postpartum depression. materials and methods: this clinical trial was performed on 80 ...

Postspike effects (PSEs) in averages of spike-triggered EMG snippets provide physiological evidence of connectivity between CMN cells and spinal motoneurons innervating skeletal muscles. They are typically detected by visual inspection of spike-triggered averages (SpTAs) or by multiple-fragment/single-snippet analyses [MFA (Poliakov AV, Schieber MH. J Neurosci Methods 79: 143-150, 1998) and SSA...

This paper presents the status of an ongoing project in constructing a framework to create problem solving environments (PSEs). The framework is independent of any particular architecture, programming model, or problem domain. The framework makes use of compiler technology, but identi es and addresses several key di erences between compilers and PSE. The validity of this model is being tested t...

A PSE toolkit can be deemed as a group of technologies within a software architecture through which multiple PSEs can be built for different application domains. This paper presents a metadata model for Grid-based PSE toolkits and the architecture of an information system based on the metadata management model. These two components contributed to the definition of a general model of metadata ma...

BACKGROUND Low levels of self-esteem have been implicated as both a cause and a consequence of severe mental disorders. The main aims of the study were to examine whether premorbid adjustment has an impact on the subject's self-esteem, and whether lowered self-esteem contributes to the development of delusions and hallucinations. METHOD A total of 113 patients from the Thematically Organized ...

Lithium-selenium (Li-Se) batteries have attracted ever-increasing attention owing to high volumetric capacity comparable lithium-sulfur and excellent electronic conductivity of Se. However, unsatisfactory energy density cycling life Li-Se mainly caused by low utilization Se shuttle effect polyselenides (PSes) seriously prevent their commercial applications. Herein, this work systematically revi...
