Introduction: Resilience is an integrating concept. Many authors have explored the resilience concept, but in nursing there isn’t a real convergence, in the context of cultures and “theoretical models” adopted. The first aim was to explore if young nurses understand the concept of resilience and social capital. The second was to verify if there is a link between resilience and social capital in...

China has experienced rapid urbanization over the past several decades. Social capital is considered a vital human resource, and quality of life (QoL) is an important measure of human health embedded in a physical, mental, and social context. No studies have reported on the association between social capital and QoL in Chinese urban residents. We performed a cross-sectional study to investigate...

In this paper, we reexamine the question “Why doesn’t capital ßow from rich to poor countries?” posed by Lucas (1990). Our Þndings suggest that even if capital ßows freely it will ßow to middle income countries rather than to poor countries. We start with the stylized fact that poorer countries have high intermediation costs, and develop a simple disaggregation of the neoclassical production fu...

The objective of this study was to investigate employment status amongst individuals who report having both back problems and arthritis, compared to having either condition alone. METHODS We analyzed data from the 2007/2008 Canadian Community Health Survey ...

In recent years the Open Data philosophy has gained a considerable momentum. In the public realm the free release of PSI datasets, besides enabling novel and promising forms of governmental accountability, paves the way to third-party developed products and services. Nevertheless, PSI re-use performed by private sector entrepreneurs is struggling to take-off due to the presence of numerous inhe...

Metabolomics approaches enable the parallel assessment of the levels of a broad range of metabolites and have been documented to have great value in both phenotyping and diagnostic analyses in plants. These tools have recently been turned to evaluation of the natural variance apparent in metabolite composition. Here, we describe exciting progress made in the identification of the genetic determ...

Many of the statistical methods currently employed to analyze fMRI data depend on a response template. However, the true form of the hemodynamic response, and thereby the response template, is often unknown. Consequently, cluster analysis provides a complementary, template-free method for exploratory analysis of multidimensional fMRI data sets. Clustering algorithms currently being applied to f...

While traditional forms of bullying have been steadily decreasing over the course of the last two decades, cyberbullying has emerged as a major concern among parents, teachers, and other professionals working with young people. Because cyberbullying is a relatively new phenomenon, its research base is not as well developed as research on traditional bullying. In this literature review, the auth...
