verbal/nonverbal memory and motor abilities in BDD, schizophrenia and OCD patients as well as in nonclinical controls. Findings have shown that OCD and BDD achieve poor scores in executive function impairments specially planning and response inhibition in the Stroop and the TOL tasks but their function in other functions such as verbal/nonverbal memory and motor skills was intact (Hanes, 1998). Although the results from studies are somewhat inconsistent, there is preliminary evidence

Ghettos were built in Germany and Poland to contain Jews in a small area so they could control the Jews.. The Jews were treated unfairly in the ghettos.” Warsaw had a prewar Jewish population of more than 350,000 constituted about 30 percent of the city had a total population (United States Holocaust Museum). The ghetto was enclosed by a wall that kept the Jews from the non-Jewish residents of the city. While many other Jewish members went to the Warsaw ghettos camps without fight some decided to

Nowadays the study of emotion is one of the most complex concepts in the field of psychology. Plutchik (2001) states that "emotions are an essential part of who we are and how we survive; emotional distress impels people to seek help, and indeed the primary concern of psychotherapy is the repair of emotional disorders". Darwin (1872) believed that emotions are evolutionarily adaptive, generating appropriate behaviour to aid survival, as well as universal, cross-cultural and cross- species. This was

The loss of a loved one is a painful experience followed by a period of grief and mourning. Bereavement is an experience most individuals will endure at least once in their lives. For most people symptoms such as persistent yearning for the deceased, intense emotional pain, preoccupation with the deceased, and overwhelming sense of sadness only last for a period of 12 months or less before the symptoms begin to subside. For approximately 2.4%-4.8% of the population grief symptoms persist for more

Survey of Recent Research In a 2013, a study entitled “The Relationship of Hypomania, Creativity, and Suicidal Ideation in Undergraduates” was done comparing creativity, suicidal thoughts, and hypomania which they define as “elevated moods that are absent of future depressive episodes” (Drapeau & DeBrule, 2013). The study involved ninety four undergraduate students from a lower level psychology class, aged eighteen to fifty two. Four of the participants were forced to drop out. Participants were

Imagine what Christopher Columbus first said when stepping on American soil. Perhaps he said: “This land holds great promise.” Whatever he said the more fascinating question to ponder centers around what language did he speak, for Christopher Columbus, a multi-linguist, knew Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. So what happened to the diversity of languages in this land of promise? Many foreigners contribute to the melting pot of America, bringing their culture and language, yet American schools continue

Factorial research designs are experiments that involve factorial combinations of independent variables. Factorial combinations involve pairing each level of one independent variable with each level of a second independent variable. Factorial combinations make it possible to determine the effect of each independent variable alone (main effect) and the effect of the independent variables in combination (interaction effect). The simplest possible experiment involves one independent variable manipulated

increase of working memory during the same period (Jha, 2010). The study also found that in addition to the gains in working memory capacity, the group that meditated had increased self-reported positive affect. Positive affect is how we experience feelings and emotions, in other words it is our moods. Because affect is a psycho-physiological construct that involves alertness and motivational intensity, the benefits of mindful meditation on positive affect is invaluable for a soldier’s effectiveness

The goal of this thesis is to identify the effect of soft tissue constituent materials in tissue classification for the application of breast cancer detection. Hyperelastic parameters may be essential in estimating large deformation in tissue for the purpose of surgical procedures such as breast brachytherapy. These properties of human soft tissue play a significant role in diagnosis, screening, and monitoring of cancer (O’Hagan & Samani, 2009). On the other hand, elastography is based mainly on
