Type D personality and sense of coherence as predictors of young people’s health behaviour
No full textThe aim of this study was to establish whether the dimensions of type D personality – negative affectivity and social inhibition, and sense of coherence determine adolescents’ health behaviours. The research was conducted on the group of 211 people – 96 boys and 115 girls aged 17–19 years (M = 18.01, SD = 0.49). The research tools were: Health Behaviours Inventory (IZZ), author: Z. Juczyński (2001); The scale to measure the type D personality DS-14, Author: J. Denollet, Polish adaptation of N. Ogińska-Bulik, Z. Juczyński, J. Denollet (Juczyński, Ogińska-Bulik, 2009); Life Orientation Questionnaire (SOC-29), author: A. Antonovsky, Polish adaptation of J. Koniarek, B. Dudek, Z. Makowska (1993). In order to indentify variables that determine young people’s health related behaviour regression analysis and structural modeling were used. The studies have shown that in the group of boys the direct indicator of health behaviour is the dimension of sense of coherence – a sense of meaningfullness, while in the group of girls – a type D personality dimension, which is negative affectivity.Udostępnienie publikacji Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego finansowane w ramach projektu „Doskonałość naukowa kluczem do doskonałości kształcenia”.

The level of development of hyponymy in the language of junior elementary-school students
No full textThe ability to establish lexical relations of hyponymy is one of the most relevant indicators of lexical-semantic development, i.e. language development in general. Bearing this in mind, the aim of our research was to examine to what extent hyponymy is developed in the language of junior elementary-school age students. The research was conducted in three elementary schools in Belgrade during 2013/14 academic year. The sample was adequate and comprised 431 second and third grade students. The subtest Hyponymy of the Lexical-Semantic Test was used in the research (author: Z. Kasić). The results showed that the mentioned relation of meaning was, to the greatest extent, established in the area of hyponymic polisemy, then in the use of conkrete nouns, and then in the use of abstract nouns. The findings indicate the relation between acquisition of hyponymy and academic attainment, while gender differences were not found. The results lead to the conclusion that various lexical excercises should be practiced at early school age continously and intensively, bearing in mind that lexical-semantic development, cognitive development and (un)succesful mastering of curricular contents are linked interdependently
Multi-dimensional, Paraunitary Principal Component Filter Banks
No full textz In this paper, the one-dimensional principal component filter banks (PCFB's) derived in [17] are generalized to higher dimensions. As presented in [17], PCFB's minimize the mean-squared error (MSE) when only Q out of P subbands are retained. Previously, 2D PCFB's were proposed in [16]. The work in [16] was limited to 2D signals and separable resampling operators. The formulation presented here is general in that it can easily accommodate signals of arbitrary (yet finite) dimension and non-separable sampling. A major result presented in this paper is that in addition to minimizing MSE when reconstructing from Q out of P subbands, the PCFB's result in maximizing theoretical coding gain (TCG) y This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grants NCR-9303868, MIP9116683, USE-9250721, and CDA-9121675.

Fast Sorting Algorithms on a Linear Array with a Reconfigurable Pipelined Bus System
No full textWe present two fast algorithms for sorting on a linear array with a recongurable pipelined bus system (LARPBS), one of the recently proposed parallel architectures based on optical buses. In our rst algorithm, we sort N numbers in O(log N log log N) worst-case time using N processors. In our second algorithm, we sort N numbers in O((log log N) 2 ) worst-case time using N 1+ processors, for any xed such that 0 < < 1. Our algorithms are based on a novel deterministic sampling scheme for merging two sorted arrays of length N each in O(log log N) time on an LARPBS with N processors. To our knowledge, the previous best sorting algorithm on this architecture has a running time of O((log N) 2 ) using N processors. Index Terms { recongurable bus, optical bus, pipelined communication, deterministic sampling, merging, sorting algorithm.

No full textIn the recently concluded series on the 1,000 articles most cited in the Science Citation Inde # (.SCP), 1961 to 1982, I drew attention to the many Nobel laureates who were authors of one or more of these highly cited papers. 1 It was no surprise that 14 percent of the 1,000 papers were written by Nobel Prize winners, since we knew that as a group they are heavily cited. In 1965 Irv Sher, ISP’s director of development and quality control, and I examined the 1961 citations to the work of the 1962 and 1963 Nobel laureates in chemistry, physics, and physiology or medicine. We determined that these authors were cited roughly 30 times as often as the average author. z In that study we were counting citations to any and all works by a particular author. We were not then attempting to determine whether an author’s citation count represented one or more Citation Classics or a prolific output in which average or slightly above average citations to many works added up to a high count. My purpose here is to pose the question, “Do all or most Nobel Prize winners in the sciences write at least one highly cited work, a Citation Classic?” To answer this question let us consider the 125 Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, physics, and physiology or medicin
Synthesis of Bis(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1,4-butanedialkoxy)-2-trans-6-bis(4-fluorobenzyl)spirocyclotetraphosphazene: Structural Characterization, Biological Activity and DFT Studies
No full textThe Cl replacement reaction of octachlorocyclotetraphosphazene, N4P4Cl8 (1), with two equimolar amounts of N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-N'-methylpropane-1,3-diamine led to the formation of 4,4,8,8-tetrachloro-2-trans-6-bis-N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-N'-methylpropane-1,3-diamino-cyclotetraphosphazene (2). The reaction of 2 with excess sodium 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1,4-butanedioxide afforded the bis(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1,4-butanedialkoxy)-2-trans-6-bis(4-fluorobenzyespirocyclotetraphosphazene (2a). The elemental analyses, mass spectrum (ESI-MS), FTIR, HSQC, HMBC, H-1, C-13 and P-31 NMR spectral data of 2a were consistent with the proposed structure. The crystal structure of 2a was elucidated by X-ray diffraction method. The spectroscopic data of the molecules (2 and 2a) in the ground state were investigated by the Density Functional Theory (DFT) from the crystal structures. On the other hand, compound 2a was found to be the most active against S. aureus G(+) (MIC value: 125 mu M). Whilst, any antifungal activity of 2a was not observed against C. albicans and C. tropicalis. This compound also exhibits cytotoxic activity against L929 fibroblast and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The interaction of 2a with pBR322 DNA was researched using gel electrophoresis. It is understood that the change in DNA conformation by interstrand of 2a with A/A and G/G nucleobases in DNA.
