Introduction: On account of the high student workload, expansive cognitive assignments, and being in a competitive space regarding their assignments and the university entrance exam, high school students might undergo stress, worry, anxiety, educational problems, and psychological damages. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and ...

We consider the supersymmetric seesaw mechanism induced by the exchange of heavy SU(2)W triplet states, rather than ‘right-handed’ neutrino singlets, to generate neutrino masses. We show that in this scenario the neutrino flavour structure tested at low-energy in the atmospheric and solar neutrino experiments is directly inherited from the neutrino Yukawa couplings to the triplets. This allows ...

Objective This study evaluated the productivity of computed tomography (CT) models and characterized their simplest (entry-level) models' supply in the world market. Methods CT exam times were measured in eight health facilities in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Exams were divided into six stages: (1) arrival of patient records to the examination room; (2) patient arrival; (3) patient p...

Auricular acupuncture (AA) is effective in the treatment of preoperative anxiety. The aim was to investigate whether AA can reduce exam anxiety as compared to placebo and no intervention. Forty-four medical students were randomized to receive AA, placebo, or no intervention in a crossover manner and subsequently completed three comparable oral anatomy exams with an interval of 1 month between t...

Statecharts have evolved into a widely used instrument for specifying system behavior and interaction. Several variants of statecharts have been developed, for example, Harel's original statecharts, UML state machines or derived concepts such as the state machines in RSML. In this paper I investigate how a statechart variant for requirements models should look if we want it to be as simple as p...

This paper proposes a prediction error expansionbased reversible data hiding method using no location map. Though a reversible data hiding method once distorts an image to hide data into the image, the distorted image is completely separated to the original image and the hidden data. The proposed method uses only one parameter to extract data; this method extracts data without any location map,...
