Abstract:

Research shows that relative deprivation, mental illness, culture, ideology, and various forms of social learning are often identified as factors that can lead an individual to terrorism. However, understanding the value of influences in the form of positive social sanctions through social contact has not been fully explored throughout terrorist studies. In regards to influencing behavior, positive social sanctions elicit a desired behavior which is reinforced through praise or rewards. By utilizing a case study approach, this thesis looks to determine the significance of positive social sanct

Abstract:

Positive memories play an important role in the etiology and maintenance of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additionally, there are potential clinical benefits of recalling positive memories on affect, cognitions, and behaviors. However, most research/clinical work has focused on the role of traumatic memories in PTSD's symptomatology and treatment. The current study examined positive memory recall difficulties and positive memory phenomenology among 185 trauma-exposed individuals with varying PTSD severity. Participants completed the Life Events Checklist for DSM-5, PTSD Checklist for D

Abstract:

Three experiments used an appetitive Pavlovian conditioning procedure to investigate the ability of the context to generate excitation. Discrete stimuli (CSs) signalling food unconditioned stimuli (USs) were used to decrease contextual conditioning. Detailed observations of the behaviours of rats during and immediately preceding the presentation of CSs, and in an event-free period were analysed. Experiment 1 showed that a discrete visual CS was able to interfere with contextual conditioning because it was a more efficient cue for food than the context. Experiment 2 found that an auditory CS co

Abstract:

The thesis is a theoretical study of different mechanisms by which an increase in the number of rival firms leads to an increase in profits of an incumbent. Consequently, an incumbent may find it profitable to invite rivals, as is sometimes observed, for example in the semiconductor industry. Chapter 2: We expand the work by Farrell and Gallini (1988), in which a monopoly invites rivals to commit in period1 to low prices in period 2. Instead of assuming Bertrand competition as Farrell and Gallini do, we assume Cournot competition, and find the optimal number of rivals from an incumbent's point

Abstract:

Although several studies have alluded to the importance of reinforcement as a component of interventions involving Alzheimer's Disease patients, no studies have looked specifically at the effect of reinforcement on effort within this population. Bandura's social learning model posits that any effect of reinforcement is mediated through a change in self-efficacy. Alternatively, the behavioral perspective states that reinforcement would increase effort, regardless of self-efficacy change. Support for behavior change without a corresponding change in self-efficacy is found in the implicit learnin

Abstract:

Due to the emergence and dissemination of multidrug resistance, bacterial pathogens have been causing a serious public health problem in recent years. To address the existing drug resistant problem, there is an urgent need to find new antimicrobials, especially those against drug-resistant bacteria. SecA is the central component of Sec-dependent secretion pathway, which is responsible for the secretion of many essential proteins as well as many toxins and virulence factors. Two SecA homologues are indentified in some important Gram-positive pathogens. SecA1 is involved in general secretion pat

Abstract:

Anxiety disorders are some of the most prevalent mental illnesses in the United States, and young adults have developed a variety of coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms. One of the most common is escapism, or the act of escaping reality by delving into alternate stimuli, fantasies, or media content, but this often leads to social or emotional isolation. Cooperative roleplaying games, such as Dungeons and Dragons, can alleviate symptoms of anxiety disorders while facilitating social interaction through escapism, creative thinking, play, and community building.

In this paper, I study the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on a group of host country economic growth for the period 1994-2011. Using aggregate level FDI data for a group of five emerging countries, the paper reveals that FDI has a positive effect on economic growth. Then I use sectoral data and test whether all the sectors have positive effects on growth. The results vary across the sectors. The results seem to be positive for mining and quarrying as well as manufacturing sector, while trade and financial intermediation sectors to have a negative effect on economic growth.

In this paper I will argue that Charles Taylor’s conception of strong evaluation is, in Michel Foucault’ s terms, a technique of the self. I will then show that this argument has at least two consequences for Taylor’s conception of positive freedom. First, when we evaluate the freedom of a society’s members we should analyze the techniques of the self practiced by those members. Second, strong evaluation is a technique of the self that agents can use to overcome obstacles to their freedom. I will also show that while Foucault is wary of making normative judgments about conceptions of freedom,

In recent decades, the incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV) associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has increased world-wide.

Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease that is characterised by excessive sputum production due to chronic airway inflammation. Physiotherapists use airway clearance techniques (ACTs) to assist with sputum clearance in people with bronchiectasis. Some of these techniques may involve positive expiratory pressure (PEP) devices. PEP devices provide a resistance to expiration which creates a back pressure in the airways which has been shown to enhance sputum clearance through stabilising the airways during expiration and improving alveoli filling via collateral channels.
