Antonovsky Bütünlük Duygusu Ölçeği ve Hemşirelik Araştırmalarında Kullanımının Sistematik İncelemesi: Ruh Sağlığı ve Psikiyatri Hemşireliği Açısından Anlamlar
Text in English and TurkishObjectives: Antonovsky’s salugenetic model focuses on factors that
promote health and well-being. The objectives of this paper were to
review the existing research literature related to Antonovsky’s Sense
of Coherence Scale (SOC) and establish implications for psychiatric
and mental health nurses.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched with selected studies
compared for sample, sample size, study designs and basic results.
Cross-sectional studies were reviewed for correlations between personality
traits, stress, burnout, disease-scales, job satisfaction and
the SOC scale, with Intervention studies used to establish the impact
of training on the SOC.
Results: The review discovered serious methodological difficulties,
including interpretations of Antonovsky’s philosophical values and
the apparent use of the SOC scales as a measure of disease absence.
Conclusion: The review was able to draw important conclusions for
psychiatric and mental health nurses (PMHNs) related to stress, burnout,
dealing with psychiatric emergencies and the selection of new
recruits to the profession.peer-reviewe

Embodied choices bypass narratives under radical uncertainty.
Johnson et al. suggest that we rely on narratives to make choices under radical uncertainty. We argue that in its current version Conviction Narrative Theory (CNT) does not account for embodied, direct sensorimotor influences on choices under radical uncertainty that may bypass narratives, particularly in highly time-constrained situations. We therefore suggest to extend CNT by an embodied choice perspective
170 Nanometer Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging using Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy
We demonstrate one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of the
semiconductor GaAs with 170 nanometer slice separation and resolve two regions
of reduced nuclear spin polarization density separated by only 500 nanometers.
This is achieved by force detection of the magnetic resonance, Magnetic
Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM), in combination with optical pumping to
increase the nuclear spin polarization. Optical pumping of the GaAs creates
spin polarization up to 12 times larger than the thermal nuclear spin
polarization at 5 K and 4 T. The experiment is sensitive to sample volumes
containing Ga. These results
demonstrate the ability of force-detected magnetic resonance to apply magnetic
resonance imaging to semiconductor devices and other nanostructures.Comment: Submitted to J of Magnetic Resonanc
Let’s do the time warp again – embodied learning of the concept of time in an applied school setting
This article has been accepted for publication in Interactive Learning Environments, published by Taylor & Francis.
Embodied Cognition approaches suggest that movements influence the understanding of abstract concepts such as time. It follows that moving the arms as watch hands should boost children’s learning to read the clock. In a school setting, we compared three learning conditions: an embodied (movement) condition, an interactive App condition, and a text condition. Age, self-reported enjoyment, and group size were controlled. In a clock-time-test, the embodied condition resulted in better performances than the mean of the other conditions in small, but not in large groups. This innovative, theory-informed approach may advance learning of abstract concepts in children
Examination of precipitation chemistry and improvements in precision using the Mg(OH)2 preconcentration ICP-MS method for high-throughput analysis of open-ocean Fe and Mn in seawater
Author Posting. © Elsevier B.V., 2006. This is the author's version of the work. It is posted here by permission of Elsevier B.V. for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Analytica Chimica Acta 565 (2006): 222-233, doi:10.1016/j.aca.2006.02.028.The chemistry of magnesium precipitation preconcentration of Fe, Mn and Co from
seawater was investigated, and this analytical technique was adapted for use with the Element-2 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (E2 ICP-MS). Experiments
revealed that the scavenging efficiency of Mn using the precipitation protocol described
here was ~95% and similar to that previously observed with Fe. In contrast, the
scavenging efficiency of Co was three-fold lower than that of Fe and Mn, resulting in
poor recovery. An increase in sample size to 13mL led to several desired effects: 1) an
increase in the Fe and Mn signals allowing a final dilution of samples to 0.5mL and the
use of an autosampler, 2) an increase in precision to ~1-2.5% RSD, 3) an increase in
signal relative to the blank. Experiments suggest metal concentration from seawater
occurs during the formation of Mg(OH)2 precipitate, whereas P was scavenged by
adsorption onto the Mg(OH)2 particles. Example vertical profiles are shown for dissolved Fe and Mn from the Equatorial Pacific.This research was supported by NSF grants OCE-0327225, OCE-0452883,

Fe, Zn, Mn and N transfer between size classes in a coastal phytoplankton community: Trace metal and major nutrient recycling compared
Experiments were performed to investigate transfer of 59Fe, 65Zn, 54Mn, and 15N from labeled cyanobacteria to the large (\u3e8 μm or \u3e5 μm) phytoplankton size class from Monterey Bay, California. Transfer of metal isotope activity was measured from and into total (for all isotopes) and intracellular (59Fe only) pools. Results demonstrated rapid and efficient transfer of nitrogen to the large phytoplankton size class; intracellular 59Fe was transferred into the intracellular and total pools of the \u3e8 μm phytoplankton size class 70% and 130% as efficiently as nitrogen, respectively. 65Zn and 54Mn were transferred between size classes 48% and 23% as efficiently as N. Extracellular 59Fe and 65Zn from the added cyanobacteria also appeared quickly in the large size fraction, although most of the Fe transfer appeared to be the result of surface adsorption rather than biological uptake. These data are discussed in relation to the biological recycling efficiencies of the four elements and the resulting implications for biogeochemical cycling of trace and major nutrient elements
