We studied the developmental trends of temperament and character in a longitudinal population-based sample of Finnish men and women aged 20-45 years using the Temperament and Character Inventory model of personality. Personality was assessed in 1997, 2001, and 2007 (n = 2,104, 2,095, and 2,056, respectively). Mean-level changes demonstrated qualitatively distinct developmental patterns for char...

Gerotranscendence defines a shift in meta-perspective from earlier materialistic and pragmatic concerns, toward more cosmic and transcendent ones in later life. Population-based studies that have empirically examined this concept using Tornstam's gerotranscendence scale, highlight cosmic transcendence as a core component, which includes a sense of belongingness with past and future generations....

While successful aging is often defined as the absence of disease and disability or as life satisfaction, self-transcendence may also play an important role. The objective of this research was to test a nursing theory of successful aging proposing that transcendence and adaptation predict successful aging. In this cross-sectional exploratory study, a convenience sample of older adults (N = 152)...

The important aspect that is studied from this article at the level of freedom which pressure point for existensialists in effort to enlighten existence, only can be achieved relation with transcendence. So, Karl Theodor Jaspers sees there are two focus issues existence and transcendence, means dealing Transcendence hides itself, therefore transcendence basis human freedom. purpose attempting d...

INTRODUCTION This study explores the effect of age on mean-levels of the personality traits defined in Cloninger's personality taxonomy, and investigates the relevance of personality traits for predicting depression levels in adults aged 18 to 94 years. METHOD We divided our sample (466 participants) into four age groups (young adult, adult, mature adult and elderly). Personality was measured...

B7t nC + Bv(n) where v(n) is one of the integers 1, 2, • • • , m (Theorem 8.1; Theorem 10.1; Theorem 11.4). Thus, under the assumption that dim I hD I > 0 for some h, B„ is bounded (from above) if and only if D is arithmetically effective.' (7) If the quadratic form (pi, is of type (0, t), the function v(n) which occurs in (6) is periodic (Theorem 11.4). (8) The ring KID] (introduced in § 2) is...

We prove a Hom-form of the pro-p birational anabelian conjecture for function fields over sub-p-adic fields. Our starting point is the corresponding Theorem of Mochizuki in the case of transcendence degree 1.

We show that the pythagoras number of a real function field is strictly larger than its transcendence degree. In the purely transcendental case, this is a well known consequence of the Cassels-Pfister Theorem.

Let k be an algebraically closed field, let K/k be a finitely generated field extension of transcendence degree 2 with automorphism σ ∈ Autk(K), and let A ⊆ Q = K[t;σ] be an N-graded subalgebra with dimk An < ∞ for all n ≥ 0. Then if A is big enough in Q in an appropriate sense, we prove that GKA = 3, 4, 5, or ∞, with the exact value depending only on the geometric properties of σ. The proof us...

We address Bass’ question, on whether Kn(R) = Kn(R[t]) implies Kn(R) = Kn(R[t1, t2]). In a companion paper, we establish a positive answer to this question when R is of finite type over a field of infinite transcendence degree over the rationals. Here we provide an example of an isolated surface singularity over a number field for which the answer the Bass’ question is “no” when n = 0.
