Over 2,000 adults in their sixties completed the Centrality of Event Scale (CES) for the traumatic or negative event that now troubled them the most and for their most positive life event, as well as measures of current PTSD symptoms, depression, well-being, and personality. Consistent with the notion of a positivity bias in old age, the positive events were judged to be markedly more central t...

Aim: We conducted the present study to compare Object relations, personality organization, personal meaning of life, and Relational meaning in life among Islamic Azad University, Lahijans branch's students.  Method: The research design was post-event (causal-comparative). The sample included 200 (100 psychology students and 100 students from other majors) selected based on convenience sampling...

diograms were normal. There have been 2 reported cases of infants who experienced an apparent life-threatening event attributed to long QT syndrome, and there is 1 reported case of an infant with Brugada syndrome who experienced an apparent life-threatening event associated with ventricular fibrillation, but his QT interval was normal. Hence, considering the rarity of apparent life-threatening ...

this paper measures event risk which is introducing by the ball committee to measure the effect of sudden news. this study calculates event risk by using the data of registered firms in tehran stock market between 1993 and 1994. for computing event risk, we use daily market capitalization for 80 firms during 1993-2009, then dividing these firms to three baskets; big, medium and small. the model...

BACKGROUND Life events play an important role in the onset and course of bipolar disorder. We will test the influence of life events on first and recurrent admissions in bipolar disorder and their interaction to test the kindling hypothesis. METHODS We collected information about life events and admissions across the life span in 51 bipolar patients. We constructed four models to explore the ...

Background: Venous thromboembolism, which comprises deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with cancer.

Event knowledge is organized on the basis of goals that enable the selection of specific event sequences to organize everyday life activities. Although the medial prefrontal cortex represents event knowledge, little is known about its role in mediating event knowledge complexity. We used functional MRI to investigate the patterns of brain activation while healthy volunteers were engaged in the ...

Negative life events, such as death of a family member, argument with a spouse and loss of a job, play an important role in triggering depressive episodes. Therefore, it is worth to develop psychiatric services that can automatically identify such events. In this paper, we propose the use of association language patterns, i.e., meaningful combinations of words (e.g., ), as features t...

This paper reveals the experiences of the application of a software tool that combines discrete event simulation (DES), material flow analysis (MFA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) in a single simulation model. This view focuses not only on economic optimization but also on material flow analysis opening the door to sustainable production in the future. Thus, the software unifies the economic a...
