indications for linezolid use are nosocomial or community-acquired pneumonia and skin infections or soft tissue infection caused by gram-positive microorganisms, but new recommendations may emerge. it is important to balance benefits with risks because severe adverse events have been described in patients taking linezolid treatment. accordingly, we evaluated the suitability of linezolid prescri...

Blast is an automatic verification tool for checking temporal safety properties of C programs. Given a C program and a temporal safety property, Blast statically proves that either the program satisfies the safety property or the program has an execution trace that exhibits a violation of the property. Blast constructs, explores, and refines abstractions of the program state space based on lazy...

INTRODUCTION This study develops an integrative model of safety management based on social cognitive theory and the total safety culture triadic framework. The purpose of the model is to reveal the causal linkages between a hazardous environment, safety climate, and individual safety behaviors. METHOD Based on primary survey data from 209 front-line workers in one of the largest state-owned c...

Teamwork can be understood a process where the members are recognised as unit, that shows interdependence but works together for common objective; this practice is relevant to achieve progress and develop, especially in vulnerable groups. The aim of study was evaluate validity reliability from scores obtained an instrument with three components internal dynamics (Task Interdependence, Group Pot...

The type of praise children receive influences whether children choose to persist after failure. One mechanism through which praise affects motivation is through the causal attributions inferred from language. For example, telling a child "You got an A on the test because you're smart," provides an explicit link between possessing a trait and an outcome, specifically that intelligence causes su...

OBJECTIVES Depression in elderly people is a major public health concern. As response to antidepressants is often unsatisfactory in this age group, there is a need for evidence-based non-pharmacological treatment options. Our objectives were twofold: firstly, to synthesize published trials evaluating efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of psychological treatment of depression in the elderly...

Pedestrian road casualties are a major concern in many countries. Vehicle safety systems attempt to reduce casualties and the accurate assessment of such systems is therefore essential. Passive safety assessment is well established, and additional active safety assessment has recently emerged. However, assessment methods accounting for the interaction between active and passive safety do not ex...

In this contribution we present an overview of our research results on psychological concepts and methodology for the intuitive use of technology. We focus on the special relevance of concepts of intuitive use for mobile systems and safety systems. Comfort aspects are also considered. As central and initial theoretical research result the concept ‘intuitive use’ will be defined and characterize...
