introduction: in the past 2 decades, research findings established achievement goal theory as a powerful framework for conceptualizing difference in the quality of student’s engagement, persistence on task, and academic resilience. so the present study examined the relationship between achievement goal orientations and academic resilience. method: participants were 606 students (307 girls and 2...

UNLABELLED Previous studies of scientific communication used citation mapping, establishing psychology as a 'hub science' from which many other fields draw information. Within psychology, the clinical and counselling discipline is a major 'knowledge broker'. This study analyzed scientific communication among three major subdisciplines of clinical psychology-the cognitive-behavioural, psychodyna...

This paper aims to comprehensively examine the effects of societal and individual characteristics on work-related attitudes, specifically work commitment orientations, using a single dataset comparable models. It also seeks relate these attitudes classic theories understand how factors shape attitudes. The analysis is based data collected by International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) in its o...

Estimation of local orientations in multivariate signals (including optical flow estimation as special case of orientation in spacetime-volumes) is an important problem in image processing and computer vision. Modelling a signal using only a single orientation is often too restrictive, since occlusions and transparency happen frequently, thus necessitating the modelling and analysis of multiple...

Background and Purpose: Childbirth is a normal physiological process and a family event. Women in various societies with different cultural backgrounds have diverse reasons for childbearing.

I have worked on the problems presented in this section with Stefan Felsner. A paper [8] is a available on the arXiv and a conference version [9] has been submitted. I will now outline what type of questions we consider and our main results. The concept of orientations with fixed out-degrees or α-orientations is a quite general one as we will see below. Let a graph G with vertex set V and a fun...

The results of a literature review of social work intervention research with adult cancer patients found only a small number of studies conducted by social work researchers. The findings of the review are presented followed by a reflective discussion on the nature of knowledge-building and research knowledge for practice. Knowledge building is considered as a continuous, negotiated process with...
