According to the research on time perspective, the present time perspective is positively correlated with risky behaviors. Thus, when educating students, teachers tend to encourage them to have the future time perspective instead of the present time perspective. The risky behavior is also related to addiction problem. Recently, technology addiction such as smart phone addiction is one of the an...

This article analyses the school performance of migrants dependent on peer groups in different international schooling environments. Using data from the international OECD PISA test, we consider social interaction within and between groups of natives and migrants. Results based on social multipliers (Glaeser et al. 2000, 2003) suggest that both native-tonative and migrant-to-migrant peer effect...

In this paper, we analyse two approaches that attempt to address how a human factors and ergonomics (HFE) perspective can contribute to the sustainability of the human race. We outline the principles, purposes and fields of application of ergoecology and green ergonomics, and thereafter deal with their context of emergence, and the overlaps in purpose, and principles. Shared values are deduced ...

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) has been an important diagnostic and therapeutic problem, often diagnosed too late. The aim of this study was to analyze the symptoms, etiologic factors and treatment of IE, and to compare them among patients treated conservatively, qualified for surgical treatment, and those who died of IE. Material and methods: 75 patients, aged 18–81 (median 52), hospi...

The second and third generation of immigrants have been the centre of a lively debate about the economic integration of immigrants into their host societies, but there is little empirical evidence on the German case. In this study I comprehensively portray the labour market outcomes of second generation immigrants in Germany. Special attention is attributed to observable heterogeneity in terms ...

Rotational bands have been found in Co using the Si(S,3p) reaction at 130 MeV. The bands, extending the mass 60 region of large deformation down to Z527, are signature-partner sequences. Their quadrupole moments are similar to those of bands in the neighboring nuclei. The features of the new bands are described by Skyrme Hartree-Fock calculations favoring a configuration assignment with one neu...

The production of hyperons in Pb-Pb and p-Be interaction at 40 A GeV/c beam momentum has been measured by the NA57 experiment. Strange particle enhancements at 40 A GeV/c are presented for the first time and compared to those measured at 158 A GeV/c. The transverse mass spectra of high statistics, high purity samples of K 0 S , Λ, Ξ and Ω particles produced in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c ha...
