Few empirical studies have used a randomized controlled design to evaluate the impact of coaching, and there are even fewer that have compared coaching with other interventions. In the current field study, we investigated the relative effectiveness of coaching as an intervention to reduce procrastination. In a randomized controlled study, participants (N = 84) were assigned to an individual coa...

The objective of this study is to investigate intrinsic motivation and psychological factors on use of a helmet among motorcyclists in Gorgan City, Iran, in 2016. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted a...

Heart contains a variety of neurons known to influence cardiac functions. Little is known about the neurochemistry of these neurons. In this study, neurochemistry of intra cardiac neurons of the intrinsic cardiac ganglia was investigated. The technique used allows studying the morphology of the ganglionated nerve plexus found within the atria and great cardiac vessels as well as of individual n...

Many factors have been identified as risk factors for colic in horses in several epidemiological studies. The aim of our paper was to review the results of 12 epidemiological studies, in order to assess the impact of each risk factor for colic. According to the literature, the factors that increase the risk of colic are feeding practices (type and quality of food, type and changes of feeding), ...

Metadata provided by annotations are an essential prerequisite for the realization of the semantic web. The manifold of metadata uses on the other hand also implies an abundance of different annotation types and formats, each requiring a different semantic treatment of the data. For semantically rich documents this results in a hybrid mixture of metadata about one and the same document. Further...

Learning during skills-based psychosocial treatments for schizophrenia is influenced by the motivating properties of the treatment context and the motivational orientation of the client. Given that motivational impairment is a core feature of schizophrenia with significant functional implications, intervention strategies emphasizing extrinsic and/or intrinsic goals may be prescribed to enhance ...

Embedding diagrams have been used extensively to visualize the properties of curved space in Relativity. We introduce a new kind of embedding diagram based on the extrinsic curvature (instead of the intrinsic curvature). Such an extrinsic curvature embedding diagram, when used together with the usual kind of intrinsic curvature embedding diagram, carries the information of how a surface is embe...
