anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve is widely implemented for treatment of cubital tunnel ‎syndrome. however, preservation of the extrinsic blood supply of the ‎ulnar nerve may result in better clinical outcomes. fourteen patients with cubital tunnel ‎syndrome, 11 ‎men and 3 women, were treated by anterior subcutaneous transposition of the ulnar nerve. the extrinsic blood supply of the ul...

the present study was an attempt to assess religious orientation and life satisfaction as well as to find out relationship of religious orientation with life satisfaction among university students. university students were also compared on religious orientation and life satisfaction with respect to their gender. the data for the present study was obtained from university students [n=200 (males ...

today gender segregation in the workplace is increasingly sensitive. thus analysis of the reasons behind such phenomenon is of fundamental importance. the aim of this study is to investigate the occupational gender segregation among of ahwaz public libraries foundation employees with emphasis on the role of work values . the method of this research is survey and data were collected by questionn...

Fingertip forces result from the activation of muscles that cross the wrist and muscles whose origins and insertions reside within the hand (extrinsic and intrinsic hand muscles, respectively). Thus, tasks that involve changes in wrist angle affect the moment arm and length, hence the force-producing capabilities, of extrinsic muscles only. If a grasping task requires the exertion of constant f...

The present study explored whether participants can be classified into groups according to their intrinsic and extrinsic life goals and how these groups differ in satisfaction of basic psychological needs and well-being. Four questionnaires were administered to 835 college students: Aspiration Index (Kasser and Ryan, 1996), The Basic Psychological Needs Scale (Gagnè, 2003), Subjective Vitality ...

This study investigates the role and interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic cues when evaluating fish quality and in shaping consumers’ attitudes toward fish and fish consumption. A sensory analysis of nine different fish including five variants of Barramundi was conducted to determine how consumers evaluated the fish on intrinsic cues. Focus groups were then conducted to explore the impact of ex...

Four experiments provide evidence for a distinction between 2 different kinds of motion representations. Extrinsic motions involve the path of an object with respect to an external frame of reference. Intrinsic motions involve the relative motions of the parts of an object. This research suggests that intrinsic motions are represented conjointly with information about the identities of the acto...

Motivation has long been associated with sports engagement. However, to date no research has been performed to understand the domain of motivation among ten-pin bowlers. The purpose of this study was to investigate different types of motivation (i.e., intrinsic vs. extrinsic) based on self-determination theory from the perspective of gender and the bowler type (competitive vs. casual). A total ...

The role of extrinsic mortality in shaping life histories is poorly understood. However, substantial evidence suggests that extrinsic mortality interacts with density-dependence in crucial ways. We develop a model combining Evolutionarily Stable Strategies with a projection matrix that allows resource allocation to growth, tissue repairs, and reproduction. Our model examines three cases, with d...
