We aimed to examine internalized stigma of patients with mental illness in Korea and identify the contributing factors to internalized stigma among socio-demographic, clinical, and psychosocial variables using a cross-sectional study design. A total of 160 patients were recruited from a university mental hospital. We collected socio-demographic data, clinical variables and administered self-rep...

Title of Thesis: INTERSECTIONS OF GAY & BISEXUAL IDENTITY WITH FATNESS: BODY ESTEEM, INTERNALIZED HOMONEGATIVITY, AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS IN GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN. James Christopher Welch, Master of Education, 2016 Thesis Directed By: Professor Richard Shin, PhD, Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education This thesis examines the intersections of gay and bisexual identity with body size,...

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) bind to receptors on the surface of human fibroblasts and are internalized in coated vesicles. Each of the ligands has been studied separately by electron microscopy in human fibroblasts using ferritin-LDL as one visual probe and 125I-EGF as a second visual probe. A mutant strain of human fibroblasts (J.D.) has been described in wh...

While Ising-type interactions are ideal for implementing controlled phase flip gates in one-way quantum computing, natural interactions between solid-state qubits are most often described by either the XY or the Heisenberg models. We show an efficient way of generating cluster states directly using either the imaginary SWAP (iSWAP) gate for the XY model, or the sqrt[SWAP] gate for the Heisenber...

This study aimed to: (i) determine the prevalence, socio-demographic and clinical correlates of internalized stigma and (ii) explore the association between internalized stigma and quality of life, general functioning, hope and self-esteem, among a multi-ethnic Asian population of patients with mental disorders. This cross-sectional, survey recruited adult patients (n=280) who were seeking trea...

A common critique of home-sharing platforms is that they enable hosts to impose costs on their neighbors. We consider four potential public policy responses that differ in whether the decision right to host is allocated to: (1) individual tenants, (2) building owners, (3) cities, and (4) a social planner. We find that (2) and (4) are equivalent, with (3) leading to too little hosting, and (1) t...

PURPOSE: There is evidence that internalized stigma significantly impacts the lives of people with severe mental illness. Nevertheless, there is little data on the prevalence of clinically significant internalized stigma. This study investigated the current prevalence and demographic correlates of significantly elevated levels of internalized stigma in two samples of people with severe mental i...

Background This study tried to reflect evidences regarding internalized stigma and assessed risk factors of internalized stigma. Objective It aims to assess the magnitude, domains, and covariates of internalized stigma among patients with mental illness in southern Ethiopia. Methods The study was carried out by using a cross-sectional study design at Dilla University Referral Hospital (DURH...

Internalization of the NK1 receptor (NK1R) and substance P was observed in cells transfected with cDNA encoding the rat NK1R by using anti-receptor antibodies and cyanine 3-labelled substance P (cy3-substance P). After incubation at 4 degrees C, NK1R immunoreactivity and cy3-substance P were confined to the plasma membrane. Within 3 min of incubation at 37 degrees C, NK1R immunoreactivity and c...
