ïndividuals with factitious disorder fake illnesses to assume a sick role. they simulate, induce, or aggravate illness, often inflicting painful, deforming, or even life-threatening injury on themselves or those under their care. factitious disorders are diagnosed in about one percent of patients who are seen in psychiatric consultation in general hospitals. ône of the features, that are overre...

background: the aim of this research was to determine and compare emotional quotient and clinical performance in type d and non-d personality anesthesiology residents. methods: this was a causative–comparative research consenting anesthesiology residents (n=48). all the participants completed bar-on emotional quotient and ds-14 (type d personality) questionnaires. clinical performance of partic...

We define the ε∞-product of a Banach space G by a quotient bornological space E | F that we denote by Gε∞(E | F ), and we prove that G is an L∞-space if and only if the quotient bornological spaces Gε∞(E | F ) and (GεE) | (GεF ) are isomorphic. Also, we show that the functor .ε∞. : Ban× qBan −→ qBan is left exact. Finally, we define the ε∞-product of a b-space by a quotient bornological space a...

We comment on the conformal boundary states of the c = 1 free boson theory on a circle which do not preserve the U(1) symmetry. We construct these Virasoro boundary states at a generic radius by a simple asymmetric shift orbifold acting on the fundamental boundary states at the self-dual radius. We further calculate the boundary entropy and find that the Virasoro boundary states at irrational r...

In this note, we define the concepts of admissible relation and admissible partition for an arbitrary BL-general fuzzy automaton.In particular, a connection between the admissible partition and the quotient BL-general fuzzy automaton is presented.It is shown that if we use the maximal admissible partition, then we obtain a quotient BL-general fuzzy automaton and this quotient is minimal. Finall...

BACKGROUND Empathizing is a specific component of social cognition. Empathizing is also specifically impaired in autism spectrum condition (ASC). These are two dimensions, measurable using the Empathy Quotient (EQ) and the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ). ASC also involves strong systemizing, a dimension measured using the Systemizing Quotient (SQ). The present study examined the relationship bet...
