Abstract:

Background: Action Identification Theory holds that every action has different 'levels' of meaning. High levels confer greater meaning and are preferentially sought but when the action is interrupted lower level identities with reduced meaning are elicited. The primary aim of this research was to develop a measure of action identification to investigate the hypothesis that interference to activity caused by chronic pain 'down regulates' levels of action identification thus effectively draining meaning from life. An additional aim was to investigate other factors which influence action identifi

Abstract:

Human gait identification has become an active area of research due to increased security requirements. Human gait identification is a potential new tool for identifying individuals beyond traditional methods. The emergence of motion capture techniques provided a chance of high accuracy in identification because completely recorded gait information can be recorded compared with security cameras. The aim of this research was to build a practical method of gait identification and investigate the individual characteristics of gait. For this purpose, a gait identification approach was proposed, id

Abstract:

My research work has been focused on the design, synthesis, and evaluation of new antitumor agents with particular attention to their potential multi-target activity. Tumor is a multifactorial disease characterised by inflammation and hypoxic environment and both these conditions lead to an altered extracellular pH that favour cancer invasion of adjacent tissues. Tumor cells modify their energy metabolic activity to have advantages for the tumorigenesis. A promising approach to obtain anticancer agents could be represented by the identification of new small molecules capable to inhibit more th

Abstract:

The glycerophosphoinositols (GPIs) are ubiquitous, bioactive metabolites that are produced by the phospholipase A2 IVa activity on the membrane phosphoinositides. Glycerophosphoinositol (GroPIns) and glycerophosphoinositol 4-phosphate (GroPIns4P) are the most active and well studied of the GPIs. When added exogenously, the GPls can enter cells and have multiple effects, such as modulation of actin cytoskeleton organisation in fibroblasts and reduction of the invasive potential of metastatic cells. To gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of the effects of the GPIs, I set out to identify

Abstract:

Poverty stricken areas of the world are affected by Neglected Tropical Diseases, with an estimated 1 billion sufferers. As well as inadequate living conditions and healthcare, there has been very little pharmaceutical incentive to tackle these diseases. As a result, the diseases are still spreading. Drugs available on the market suffer from poor efficacy, high toxicity, increasing resistance and inappropriate dosing for rural treatment. The nature of many NTDs prevents the use of vaccinations. Therefore, more efficacious and safe treatments are sought after. The folate pathway has been extensi

Abstract:

Ukraine has entered a critical stage of its democratic transition in 2013/14 when the state’s authority was challenged by protests, which led to profound transformations of the political system in a span of four months. The Euromaidan revolution started as a protest against the decision of Ukraine's then government to seek closer ties to Russia rather than sign a negotiated free-trade deal with the European Union. This presented a unique opportunity for social psychological researchers to examine the factors determining both individual-level behavioural intentions to engage in collective actio

Objective: The concept of recovery has become an integral part of modern mental health care. Understanding the outcomes and underlying mechanisms of key recovery interventions, such as Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP), is essential in order to expand the theoretical understanding of recovery and inform how to target recovery in treatment. Therefore a systematic review of the literature was conducted to evaluate the mental health outcomes of WRAP for adults. The empirical study then explored three constructs in relation to WRAP and recovery. These were social problem solving, cognitive

Abstract:

<p>To ensure the sustainability of bioethanol production, major attention has been directed to develop feedstocks which provide an alternative to food-crop biomass. Lignocellulosic (LC) biomass, which is chiefly composed of industrial plant residues, is a carbon-rich reservoir that is presently attracting much attention. However LC material is highly recalcitrant to bioprocessing and requires a mixture of physical and enzymatic pretreatment in order to liberate fermentable sugars. Thermostable enzymes are extremely desirable for use in thermophilic fermentations due to their inherent stability

Results showed that exposure to hostile sexism had a positive indirect effect on social competition intentions through increased anger-frustration, and a negative indirect effect

Abstract:

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the fasting growing chronic diseases, caused by insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. While over thirty medications were approved to treat T2D in the United States, less than one in four patients treated with anti-diabetic drugs achieved the glycemic target. Thus, identifying more effective anti-diabetic drugs is still needed for improving glycemic control in T2D patients. Incretins are gut hormones that possess potent insulinotropic action, which have drawn considerable attention in research and developing treatment strategy for T2D. Specificall

<p>Obesity is a globally increasing disease particularly in developing countries and among children. It is mainly caused by intake of diets high in fat and the lack of physical activity. Obesity is a risk factor for diseases such as type II diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and certain cancers. Prediabetes is a condition where blood glucose levels are above normal but have not&nbsp<br>reached those of diabetes. It is difficult to diagnose, as there are no signs or symptoms.

Abstract:

Brazil’s vision of race has been changing. In contrast with its former tendency to avoid static racial identifications and discussions of race, the country is pushing toward clearer racial definitions in order to institute racially targeted programs, such as racial quotas for Non-Whites in public universities. Using in-depth interviews from 19 students who entered university through racial quotas, this paper explores how these students envision fixed categories for themselves, how they deal with these categories in different situations, and what they think the implications of these shifts in r

Abstract:

Régulièrement, les associations caritatives sollicitent financièrement des millions d’individus pour mener leurs actions sur le terrain. Représentant un enjeu majeur, ces campagnes de communication médiatique ont pour objectif d’appeler aux dons afin de collecter des fonds leur permettant de pérenniser leurs actions et de maintenir une indépendance à la fois financière et politique. Articulant une double méthodologie qualitative et expérimentale et l’aide d’un contexte théorique pluridisciplinaire mobilisant des ressources théoriques issues notamment des modèles psychosociaux de la réception,
