The United Kingdom has the largest concentration of Cypriots outside Cyprus, equivalent to one-third of the island's population. The London Borough of Haringey has the largest concentration, 16% of its population being of Cypriot origin. Two cases are described of outreach work in an area lacking culturally appropriate services, where individuals suffer the stresses of being Cypriot in London, and the isolation and breakdown of communication within and between generations. 相似文献

Three experiments examined the role of visual feedback on the performance of a fine motor task, namely the rotary pursuit, in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and healthy older adults. After extensive practice tracking a fully visible target, participants in Experiments 1 and 2 were tested under restricted vision (RV) conditions. In both experiments, the two groups showed a drop in performance when vision was restricted, with AD patients showing a significantly larger decline. Tracking improved significantly in normal controls, but not AD patients across the RV trials after the initial drop. When difficulty of the rotary pursuit task was manipulated in Experiment 3 without restricting vision, AD patients and normal controls showed identical patterns of performance. Consequently, it could be concluded that AD patients in the first two experiments were relying more heavily on visual information for accurate performance of the tracking task than their healthy peers. 相似文献

The authors of the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and its extension, the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) recommend that
researchers who use these theories to investigate the determinants of a given behaviour should first conduct an elicitation
study to identify the modal salient beliefs in the target population. In spite of the importance accorded to salient beliefs
by the TRA/TPB, the elicitation stage has received little research attention. This paper reports a detailed analysis of beliefs
about “being more physically active in the next 12 months.” A general population sample of 213 adults completed a questionnaire
while attending a research centre for a series of tests. The findings showed that the beliefs that were elicited by questions
designed to prompt affective outcomes (like or enjoy, dislike or hate) differed systematically from those that were elicited
by the traditional questions designed to prompt instrumental out-comes (advantages and disadvantages). Whether this resulted
in different final sets of modal salient beliefs was found to depend on the particular decision rule that was employed. An
alternative decision rule is proposed, based on maximizing the degree of overlap between the modal set and the full set of
salient beliefs generated by the sample. The index of overlap can be used to gauge the adequacy of using a modal set of a
given size to represent the salient beliefs of the whole sample. In the current dataset, the optimal modal set for “advantages
and disadvantages” was associated with only 26 percent overlap with the salient beliefs of the whole sample, which was judged
to be insufficient. In such cases, a better strategy may be to ask participants to generate and rate their own beliefs. 相似文献

This paper follows the circuitous path of theories concerning the origins of viruses from the early years of the twentieth
century until the present, considering RNA viruses in particular. I focus on three periods during which new understandings
of the nature of viruses guided the construction and reconstruction of origin hypotheses. During the first part of the twentieth
century, viruses were mostly viewed from within the framework of bacteriology and the discussion of origin centered on the
“degenerative” or the “retrograde evolution theory.” However, concomitantly, in the context of origin-of-life theorizing,
the notion that viruses are vestiges of a prebiotic world was also being contemplated. In the 1960s the idea that viruses
were genetic elements that “escaped” from cells became prevalent. These traditional hypotheses are being revisited nowadays
by evolutionary virologists, who have placed them within a new conceptual framework that is supported by cutting-edge genomic
and proteomic data. Two current, opposing scenarios of virus origin are presented. The philosophical dimensions of “revisiting”
the original hypotheses are briefly discussed. 相似文献

The experiences of mothers of adult offspring with Angelman, Cornelia de Lange, or Cri du Chat syndrome have not been previously
explored in research. The current study focuses on experiences with social and medical services and the impact the rareness
of an adult offspring’s syndrome has on the experiences of mothers. Eight mothers of adults with Angelman, Cornelia de Lange,
or Cri du Chat syndrome were interviewed. Thematic Content Analysis was used to interpret the interviews. Four themes emerged
from the analysis: (i) The rarity of their offspring’s syndrome, (ii) Uneven medical and social care service provision, (iii)
The inertia of social care services, and (iv) Mothers as advocates. Mothers felt that the rareness of their offspring’s syndrome
did not affect experiences with social care services, but did affect access to medical services and some aspects of day-to-day
living. Accessing appropriate social care services was reported to be a lengthy and complex process. These data may help inform
care service providers about how best to support adults with rare genetic syndromes and their families. 相似文献

- This paper investigates the impact of US‐based franchising in the Middle Eastern context of Egypt. In a review of the franchise literature, micro‐ and macro‐level effects are identified and categorized across social, economic, cultural, political, and marketplace dimensions. A qualitative analysis using focus groups of Middle Eastern consumers was conducted. Clear evidence of “consumer agency” as a transformative force in the globalization process is revealed. In addition to confirming consumer agency findings from previous research, this study also indicates a sequential progression of product adoption over time along Eckhardt and Mahi's (2004) consumer agency categories. Managerial and theoretical implications are discussed.
