Patterns of large-scale stresses are affected by the Earth’s curvature. Thus, the geometries of stress fields are strongly dependent on the chosen coordinate reference system (CRS) and projection. Each combination of a CRS and a projection yields different geometries. For that reason, spherical m...
The aim of this study is to analyze the existing research works and findings in relation to the prevalence of stress, anxiety and depression in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method In this systematic review and meta-analysis, articles that have focused on stress and ...
Israel has imposed a tight siege on Gaza since Hamas took control of it by force in 2007. In addition, Israel launched several large-scale military operations against the Strip, the last of which lasted 11 days last May, killing more than 250 Palestinians and 13 people in Israel. Because o...
2.2 Damage Characterization in Soft Biological Tissue In general, damage may be defined as “injury or harm that reduces value or usefulness” (Famaey et al., 2013). Thus, a quantification of damage can be performed by evaluating the reduction in “value” or “usefulness.” Modeling damage ...
It is therefore of high interest to understand the distribution of stress drop in space and time for different geological and tectonic settings. While there is a long debate about the general scale invariance of stress drop, i.e., whether or not the stress drop increases with seismic moment,...
According to psychobiological and perceived stress indices, the participants reacted similarly to a gay-specific and general social stressor. There were no significant differences in the outcomes, either when looking at pre–post-test differences or when comparing the overall stress responses. Given ...
The assessment of depression and anxiety is possible via a number of metrics that have been validated in general populations. TheDepression Anxiety Stress Scale21 is one patient-centered outcome that has been validated and is easy to administrate.36This metric is considered useful because it may id...
Understanding wild animal responses to stressors underpins effective wildlife management. In order for responses to stressors to be correctly interpreted,
In general, the Venezuelan professors surveyed gave an intermediate–high rating to their digital competence, with the smallest deviation among the three scales, the smallest coefficient of variation, and a slight asymmetry to the right (Table 6). Their assessment of the professional aspects linked ...
Interestingly, the dogs’ activity levels did not affect HCC, nor did the amount of training sessions per week, showing that the HCC levels were not related to general physical activity. Additionally, there was a seasonal effect in HCC. However, although dogs’ personalities had little effects ...
