background:learning the key issues in providing nursing care requires new instructional strategies that prevent superficial learning of students and improve meaningful and high level learning in them. the aim of this study was to determine effect of teaching the nursing process in composing method on nursing students and their clinical learning. methods: in a quasi-experimental study with two g...

OBJECTIVES To investigate whether Holotropic Breathwork™ (HB; Grof Transpersonal Training, Mill Valley, CA) has any significance in the development of self-awareness. DESIGN A quasi-experiment design and multiple case studies. A single case design was replicated. The statistical design was a related within-subject and repeated-measures design (pre-during-post design). SETTING/LOCATION The s...

these experiments examined the effects of pre-test intra dorsal hippocampus (intra-ca1) administration of gabaa receptor agonist and antagonist, muscimol and bicuculline respectively, on state-dependent learning induced by lithium. male nmri mice were trained in a one-trial step-down inhibitory avoidance task, and immediately after training they received ip injections of either saline (10 ml/kg...

The effectiveness of pre-play communication in achieving efficient outcomes has long been a subject of controversy. In some environments, cheap talk may help to achieve coordination. However, Aumann conjectures that, in a variant of the Stag Hunt game, a signal for efficient play is not self-enforcing and concludes that an “agreement to play [the efficient outcome] conveys no information about ...

Despite the extensive study of lithium depletion during pre-main-sequence (PMS) contraction, studies of individual stars show discrepancies between ages determined from the Hertzsprung–Russell (H–R) diagram and ages determined from lithium depletion, indicating open questions in the PMS evolutionary models. To further test these models, we present high-resolution spectra for members of the β Pi...

The European Respiratory Society/European Society of Thoracic Surgeons joint clinical guidelines on fitness for radical therapy in lung cancer patients (surgery and chemoradiotherapy) were published in the July 2009 issue of the European Respiratory Journal [1]. This comprehensive and very important document provides guidelines for the risk evaluation of candidates for lung cancer surgery. We f...
