Humans' ability to represent their body state from within through interoception has been proposed to predict different aspects of human cognition and behaviour. We focused on the possible contribution of interoceptive sensitivity to social behaviour as mediated by adaptive modulation of autonomic response. We, thus, investigated whether interoceptive sensitivity to one's heartbeat predicts part...

Different reducing agents (B, Al, Si and Ti) were individually added to two gypsum-bonded investments to prepare investments preventing surface blackening of some noble cast alloys. The effect of different additive contents on green-body and burnout compressive strength, setting and thermal expansion of the investments were evaluated. The strength and expansion of the investments were changed b...

background priority setting in healthcare is a key determinant of health system performance. however, there is no widely accepted priority setting evaluation framework. we reviewed literature with the aim of developing and proposing a framework for the evaluation of macro and meso level healthcare priority setting practices.   methods we systematically searched econlit, pubmed, cinahl, and ebsc...

The purpose of this study was to characterize three base/liner materials in the initial stage of setting, i.e., dual-cured (light-activated glass ionomer), light-cured (light-activated glass ionomer analogue), and chemically-cured (conventional glass ionomer) materials. Changes in dimension, weight and flexural strength were examined from immediately after setting to the end of one week followi...

tourism development in to geographical areas especially ecotourism, in addition to their economic, social and cultural consequences, will also leave great environmental impacts on geographical locations. if careful preventive and proactive measures in the form of strategy formulation, setting standards and ongoing specific assessments are not taken, destructive effects of ecotourism in an exten...
