Measuring Health Literacy Regarding Infectious Respiratory Diseases: A New Skills-Based Instrument

BACKGROUND There is no special instrument to measure skills-based health literacy where it concerns infectious respiratory diseases. This study aimed to explore and evaluate a new skills-based instrument on health literacy regarding respiratory infectious diseases. METHODS This instrument was designed to measure not only an individual's reading and numeracy ability, but also their oral commun...

To jump or not to jump: The Bereitschaftspotential required to jump into 192-meter abyss

Self-initiated voluntary acts, such as pressing a button, are preceded by a negative electrical brain potential, the Bereitschaftspotential (BP), that can be recorded over the human scalp using electroencephalography (EEG). Up to now, the BP required to initiate voluntary acts has only been recorded under well-controlled laboratory conditions. It is thus not known if this form of brain activity...

Jump processes

Although historically models in mathematical finance were based on Brownian motion and thus are models with continuous price paths, jump processes play now a key role across all areas of finance (see e.g. [5]). One reason for this move into a new class of processes is that because of their distributional properties diffusions in many cases cannot provide a realistic picture of empirically obser...

Comparsion of Multimedia Computer Assisted Instruction, Traditional Instruction and Combined Instruction on Learning the Skills of Long Jump

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of multimedia computer assisted instruction (MCAI), traditional instruction (TI), and combined instruction (CI) methods on learning the long jump event. Forty-eight middle school students of seventh and eighth grade were randomly assigned into three teaching method groups: MCAI, TI and CI. Each group received ten 45-min periods of instructio...
