The paper investigates different approaches of transcendence in the sense of spiritual experience as predictors for general psychological resilience. This issue is based on the theoretical assumption that resilience does play a role for physical health. Furthermore, there is a lack of empirical evidence about the extent to which spirituality does play a role for resilience. As potential predict...

Aims. This study's aim was to test the effects of self-transcendence on depression among cognitively intact nursing home patients. Background. Depression is considered the most frequent mental disorder among the elderly population. Specifically, the depression rate among nursing home patients is three to four times higher than that among community-dwelling elderly. Therefore, finding new and al...

Background: People living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) are prone to psychological illnesses. HIV/AIDS, not only affects physical health but also emotional and mental health, which quality of life (QoL). The aim present study was assess the psychosocial variables affecting QoL PLHIV.Methods: A cross sectional done at ART plus centre a tertiary care hospital Lucknow, among PLHIV. questionnaire contained...

In this paper we examine Ehrenfeucht-Fräıssé (EF) games on fields and vector spaces. We find the exact length of the EF game on two algebraically closed fields of finite transcendence degree over Q or Z/pZ. We also determine an upper bound on the length of any EF game on models (F1 ,F1) and (F m 2 ,F2 of vector spaces where m = n and a lower bound for the special case F1 = F2.

Recall that a complete first-order theory with infinite models is strongly minimal if in any of its models, every parameter-definable subset of the model is finite or cofinite. Classical examples are theories of vector spaces and algebraically closed fields; also the degenerate example of the theory of infinite ‘pure’ sets where the only structure comes from equality. Algebraic closure in a str...

All rings and algebras considered in this paper are commutative with identity elements and, unless otherwise specified, are to be assumed to be non-trivial. All ringhomomorphisms are unital. Let k be a field. We denote the class of commutative k−algebras with finite transcendence degree over k by C. Also, we shall use t.d.(A) to denote the transcendence degree of a k−algebra A over k, A[n] to d...

We classify the algebraic combinatorial geometries of arbitrary field extensions of transcendence degree greater than 4 and describe their groups of automorphisms. Our results and proofs extend similar results and proofs by Evans and Hrushovski in the case of algebraically closed fields. The classification of projective planes in algebraic combinatorial geometries in arbitrary fields of charact...
