Past studies document that Latino familial cultural values (i.e. familism, affiliative obedience and filial obligation) protect against depressive symptoms and promote academic resilience in adolescence. However, some studies suggest that familial cultural values differ across gender, with females reporting greater obligations and fewer freedoms compared to their male counterparts. We examined ...

Abstract In this paper I review the Neo-Davidsonian semantics of prepositional phrases and secondary predication. argue that certain types examples pose challenge to semantics. present an alternative analysis which successfully deals with problematic examples. The core idea lies in representing theta-roles not as functions from events their participants, but rather argument-labels encoding role...

The basal forebrain plays important roles in arousal, learning, and memory by stimulating cortical activation characterized by rhythmic slow theta and high-frequency beta-gamma activities. Although cholinergic neurons play a significant part in these roles, other, including GABAergic, neurons appear to contribute. Using juxtacellular labeling with neurobiotin of neurons recorded within the magn...

Visual evoked potentials were measured in a group of 16 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and in a control group of 20 subjects. With respect to vertex and occipital recordings, latencies of main peaks were prolonged and response amplitudes were reduced in the MS group. As a result of frequency domain analysis we found that the amplitude reduction was not uniform in all frequency ranges: alpha (...

introduction: the basic objective of this study is to investigate the effects of alpha and theta brain waves amplitude increase in occipital area on reducing the severity of symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and to increase the global functioning level in patients with gad. methods: this study is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test with two groups. for this purpose, 28...

For a finite field $mathbb{F}_q$, the bivariate skew polynomial ring $mathbb{F}_q[x,y;rho,theta]$ has been used to study codes cite{XH}. In this paper, we give some characterizations of the ring $R[x,y;rho,theta]$, where $R$ is a commutative ring. We investigate 2-D skew $(lambda_1,lambda_2)$-constacyclic codes in the ring $R[x,y;rho,theta]/langle x^l-lambda_1,y^s-lambda_2rangle_{mathit{l}}.$ A...

In this article, we further consider the above system. In particular, we give a sufficient condition under which the above system is Kato chaotic for $eta=0$ and a necessary condition for the above system to be Kato chaotic for $eta=0$. Moreover, it is deduced that for $eta=0$, if $Theta$ is P-chaotic then so is this system, where a continuous map $Theta$ from a compact metric space $Z$ to itse...
