An increased number of visits and time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus-maze by malnourished rats has been used as indicative of lower anxiety or impulsiveness. In order to study how this behavior profile responds to an anxiogenic procedure (short-term social isolation), control (16% protein) and malnourished (6% protein) rats were socially isolated prior to the test in the maze. Lit...

Supportive social interactions may be protective against stressors and certain mental and physical illness, while social isolation may be a powerful stressor. Prairie voles are socially monogamous rodents that model some of the behavioral and physiological traits displayed by humans, including sensitivity to social isolation. Neuroendocrine and behavioral parameters, selected for their relevanc...

Our transportation field has recently witnessed an arms race of neural network-based trajectory predictors. While these predictors are at the core many applications such as autonomous navigation or pedestrian flow simulations, their adversarial robustness not been carefully studied. In this paper, we introduce a socially-attended attack to assess social understanding prediction models in terms ...

The COVID-19 pandemic, its duration, and intensity are harbingers of demographic change. In the context social demography, it is crucial to explore challenge emerging from coronavirus disease. main purpose this study (i) determinants that affected population in Greece terms isolation during lockdown period (ii) examine possible differences assessment factors depending on whether individuals liv...

1. Correlated individual differences in behaviour across ecological contexts, or behavioural syndromes, can theoretically constrain individuals’ ability to optimally adjust their behaviour for specific contexts. 2. Female Anelosimus studiosus exhibit a unique behavioural polymorphism: ‘social’ females are tolerant of conspecifics and aggregate in multi-female colonies, while ‘solitary’ females ...

abstract in this study the relationship among perfectionism, defense styles and depression symptoms was studied. participants were 426 undergraduate students from the university of guilan (264 females, 162 males), who were selected through randomized clustering multistage method. all participants were asked to complete the multidimensional perfectionism scale (hewitt & flett, 1991), the defense...

The papers by Schwartzberg and Schulz in this issue of AjOT were accepted for the March 1994 Special Issue on Brain InjUry Rehabilitation but could not be included because of space limitations. They are published here as a follow-up to that issue. Although it is recognized that persons with brain injury need continued services after discharge from the hospital, remarkably little empirical work ...

literature plays various roles, the major function being expressing reality through the forms of the novel and the short story. naguib mahfuz, one of the outstanding arab novelists, has special talents in this respect. he expresses social problems critically. the sexual crisis is one of the plights which is both discussed and challenged in his novels and short stories. he investigated sexual cr...

BACKGROUND Research on frequent or avoidable hospital admission has not focussed on the perspectives of service providers or rural settings. The link between social isolation and admission is not well explored, although social isolation is known to have negative health effects. OBJECTIVE This paper reports further analysis from a study investigating service providers' perspectives on factors ...
