Let k be a field of characteristic different from 2. Let E/k be a finite separable extension with a k-linear involution σ. For every σ-symmetric element μ ∈ E∗, we define a hermitian scaled trace form by x ∈ E 7→ TrE/k(μxx). If μ = 1, it is called a hermitian trace form. In the following, we show that every even-dimensional quadratic form over a hilbertian field, which is not isomorphic to the ...

According to many authors in the field of management, today’s globalization, rapid-fire technological innovations, and constantly mounting pressure from a few elitist, unimaginably rich, banking corporations have pushed the world markets into a state of ceaseless turmoil. “Success amidst such a maelstrom of change”—writes Conner [1] in his book Leading at the Edge of Chaos—“calls for much more ...

The Internet and all services on it have changed and are continuously changing mankind and human society, due to the effects they have on information management and communication; otherwise stated, they are influencing individuals’ learning, knowledge development and, more generally, interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. The phenomenon has been widely analyzed since its origins, and ma...

We prove that groups acting geometrically on δ-quasiconvex spaces contain no essential Baumslag-Solitar quotients as subgroups. This implies that they are translation discrete, meaning that the translation numbers of their nontorsion elements are bounded away from zero. The notion of translation numbers is used by many authors, such as J. Alonso and M. Bridson [1], G. Conner [2], S.M. Gersten a...

Background: Mindfulness training is increasingly being adopted to address mental health concerns among university students (Kuyken et al., 2017). Previous research has supported mindfulness with empirical evidence as an autonomous, accessible, and cost-effective intervention for stress anxiety (Flett, Conner, Rordan, Patterson, & Hayne, 2020).Aim: The purpose of this study was (1) examine t...

Comprehensive reviews of current epidemiologic research have found that researchers fail to differentiate between concepts of race and ethnicity and they are not transparent with their methods to assess these concepts. In issue 3 volume 25 of the Journal of Women’s Health, Conner et al. examines the effect of modification of menopausal status and alcohol consumption in regard to the relationshi...
