Vicarious trauma, traumatic stress, and burnout were investigated among three separate groups of mental health professionals working primarily with three different client populations (sexual violence, cancer, and general practice). Participants (N = 221) completed the Traumatic Stress Institute Belief Scale Revision M (TSI), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Impact of Events Scale (I...

Adolescents are prone to show symptoms of anxiety when dealing with school-related matters, such as exams, assignments, choosing university major, and friendships. The transition from online offline learning COVID-19 pandemic situation eased off appeared trigger in adolescents. This research used repeated-measure design that aimed examine the effectiveness a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI)...

In this paper, we examine command-and-control (CAC) policies and market-based instruments (MBI) in the context of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). The CRP, an MBI in the form of subsidies, is by far the largest agro-environmental policy implemented to date. We compare the environmental performance of the CRP as implemented to a few counterfactual CAC polices using EPIC (Environmental Pol...

Background Mild behavioural impairment (MBI) is proposed as a diagnostic construct to identify dementia-free individuals with sustained neuropsychiatric symptoms an early manifestation of dementia. Our previous study has demonstrated that MBI predicts faster cognitive decline and progression Other studies have shown was associated Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers for Aβ tau. However, cerebrovascu...

Sediment extracts of stream sediments, collected from inland areas of Lake Shihwa (LSI) and Masan Bay (MBI), were screened for their abilities to induce aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ah-R) mediated gene expression in vitro. Cell viability assay was also performed to examine cytotoxic effects on the Ah-R-mediated activities of sediment samples. Over 80% (30 out of 36) of sediment raw extracts (REs)...

OBJECTIVE Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is often much reduced among individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), and incidences of depression, fatigue, and anxiety are high. We examined effects of a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) compared to usual care (UC) upon HRQOL, depression, and fatigue among adults with relapsing-remitting or secondary progressive MS. METHODS A total of 150...

Betweenness is a well-known centrality measure that ranks the nodes according to their participation in the shortest paths of a network. In several scenarios, having a high betweenness can have a positive impact on the node itself. Hence, in this paper we consider the problem of determining how much a vertex can increase its centrality by creating a limited amount of new edges incident to it. I...
