We examined affective forecasting errors as a possible explanation of the perennial appeal of extrinsic values and goals. Study 1 found that although people relatively higher in extrinsic (money, fame, image) compared to intrinsic (growth, intimacy, community) value orientation (REVO) are less happy, they nevertheless believe that attaining extrinsic goals offers a strong potential route to hap...

Age-associated skin lesions linked to UV radiation (UVR) include actinic keratosis, non-melanoma skin cancer-such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma-lentigo senilis and lentigo maligna. Their incidence is increasing worldwide, mainly due to exaggerated UV exposure and to an aging population. Early diagnosis and therapy of pre-malignant cutaneous lesions is crucial for the secon...

AIM To investigate the impact of extrinsic visual feedback and additional cognitive/physical demands on single-limb balance in individuals with ankle instability. METHODS Sixteen subjects with ankle instability participated in the study. Ankle instability was identified using the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT). The subject's unstable ankle was examined using the Athletic Single Leg ...

In this talk K be a global field and GK := Gal(K/K) the absolute Galois group over K. We let V be a p-adic representation of GK (finite-dimensional over Qp), and Σ a finite set of places of K containing p and ∞, outside which V is unramified. So we can and will view V as a representation of GK,Σ for technical reasons, it is at times important to work with that rather than the full GK ! We are g...

We investigate weighted composition operators that attain their norm on weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disc of type H∞. Applications for composition operators on weighted Bloch spaces are given.
