Negative self-views have proved to be a consistent marker of vulnerability for depression. However, recent research has shown that a particular kind of cognitive conflict, implicative dilemma, is highly prevalent in depression. In this study, the relevance of these conflicts is assessed as compared to the cognitive model of depression of a negative view of the self. In so doing, 161 patients wi...

Fps/Fes proteins were among the first members of the protein tyrosine kinase family to be characterized as dominant-acting oncoproteins. Addition of retroviral GAG sequences or other experimentally induced mutations activated the latent transforming potential of Fps/Fes. However, activating mutations in fps/fes had not been found in human tumors until recently, when mutational analysis of a pan...

This paper analyses the computational behaviour of λterm applications. The properties we are interested in are weak normalisation (i.e. there is a terminating reduction) and strong normalisation (i.e. all reductions are terminating). One can prove that the application of a λ-term M to a fixed number n of copies of the same arbitrary strongly normalising λ-term is strongly normalising if and onl...

This essay identifies and categorizes terms used to designate the Hispanic/Latino population in the United States. It provides an analysis framing the process of ethnic self-designation within an ethnopolitical and psychosocial context. The analysis concludes by presenting mestizaje and transculturation as processes involved in the evolution of Latino identity.

BACKGROUND Self-management is considered important in chronic illness, and contemporary health policy recommends participation in support groups for individuals with chronic conditions. Although withdrawal from or non-participation in support groups is an important problem, there is limited knowledge about individuals' own motivation for participation in or withdrawal from self-management suppo...

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate whether the neural systems for nonspatial visual and auditory working memory exhibits a functional dissociation. The subjects performed a delayed recognition task for previously unfamiliar faces and voices and an audiovisual sensorimotor control task. During the initial sample and subsequent test stimulus presentations, activat...
