Optimizing the use of systemic corticosteroids in severe asthma (ROSA II projec...

Although the prevalence of severe asthma is not high (5–10% of patients), it is responsible for a large part of the overall disease burden and costs (50–60% of total costs), especially if the condition remains uncontrolled (which occurs in around 40% of cases). Currently, for patients without disease control or presenting frequent exacerbations despite optimal therapy, add-on treatments, traditionally long-acti...

How does mothering look like: a multidimensional approach to maternal cognitive...

From a cognitive information processing perspective, parents’ cognitive schemas strongly influence the way they perceive and act towards their children. In order to explore how maternal cognitive representations about parenting are organized in a multi-dimensional space, mothers referred to child protection services and mothers with no such reference completed a free description task of maternal attributes and ...

Disponibilidade de Cu, Pb e Zn nas áreas mineiras de Canal Caveira e São Doming...

Avaliou-se a disponibilidade do Cu, Pb e Zn nos solos das áreas mineiras de São Domingos e Canal Caveira (Faixa Piritosa Ibérica) com o objectivo de determinar a potencialidade de dispersão daqueles ele­mentos no meio. Em ambas as áreas as concentrações totais dos elementos foram elevadas e a dis­ponibilidade variou consoante as parcelas e, consequentemente, com as características dos solos. A fracção disponíve...

Construct validation of the portuguese version of the restraint scale

The main purpose of this study was to adapt the Restraint Scale (RS) to Portuguese and examine its psychometric properties, specifically its construct validity. Method: In this study, 238 normal-weight adults (82% women; Mean age = 36.6, SD = 15.0) participated in an online survey containing measures of Restraint Scale, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire, and Body Dissatisfa...

Effects of correspondence between encoding and retrieval organization in social...

Memory research has shown impaired recall performance when a subset of the studied stimuli is presented at recall (the part-list cueing effect, Slamecka, 1968) or when the recall is collaborative (collaborative-inhibition effect, Weldon & Bellinger, 1997). In two experiments we explore these effects in an impression-formation context and compare two prominent accounts (retrieval blocking versus strategy disrupt...

On the relation between spontaneous trait inferences and intentional inferences...

More than twenty five years after the beginning of research on spontaneous trait inferences (Winter & Uleman, 1984) an intriguing paradox in the impression formation literature remains: if traits are spontaneously inferred, why aren't they used to organize behavioral information and thereby facilitate recall under memory instructions (Hamilton, Katz, & Leirer, 1980)7 We hypothesized that organization by traits ...

Automatic and controlled components of judgment under uncertainty

The categorization of inductive reasoning into largely automatic processes (heuristic reasoning) and controlled analytical processes (rule-based reasoning) put forward by dual-process approaches of judgment under uncertainty (e.g., Stanovich & West, 2000) has been primarily a matter of assumption with a scarcity of direct empirical findings supporting it. We used the process dissociation procedure (Jacoby, 1991...
