Abstract Background Mobility of workers living in one country and working a different has increased the European Union. Exposed to commuting factors, cross-border (CBWs) constitute potential high-risk population. But relationships between health abroad are under-documented. Our aims were to: (1) measure prevalence perceived status physical outcomes (activity limitation, chronic diseases, disabi...

Background and Objectives: Negative cognitive biases have been linked to anxiety and mood problems. Accumulated data from laboratory studies show that positive and negative interpretation styles with accompanying changes in mood can be induced through cognitive bias modification (CBM) paradigms. Despite the therapeutic potential of positive training effects, few studies have explored training p...

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is a maintenance strategy that collects and assesses real-time information, and recommends maintenance decisions based on the current condition of the system. In recent decades, research on CBM has been rapidly growing due to the rapid development of computerbased monitoring technologies. Research studies have proven that CBM, if planned properly, can be effect...

The purpose of this article is to provide a commentary on the current state of several measurement issues pertaining to curriculum-based measures of reading (R-CBM). We begin by providing an overview of the utility of R-CBM, followed by a presentation of five specific measurements considerations: 1) the reliability of R-CBM oral reading fluency, 2) issues pertaining to form effects, 3) the gene...

The Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) paradigm was devised to test predictions that cognitive biases have a causal influence on emotional status. Increasingly, however, researchers are testing the potential clinical applications of CBM. Although generally successful in reducing emotional vulnerability in clinical populations, the impact of CBM interventions has been somewhat variable. The aim o...

The principal subunits of neurofilaments (NFs) of immature cultured sympathetic neurons have apparent Mr of 68,000 and 145,000; a 200,000 Mr subunit is also present, but at comparatively low levels. These subunits are referred to as the low (NFL), middle (NFM), and high (NFH) Mr subunits, respectively. We studied the phosphorylation of NFL and NFM in these neurons in order to characterize the N...
