Age‐ and Gender‐specific BMI in Terms of the Lowest Mortality in Japanese General Population
Obesity, 2008Objective: The primary purposes of our study were to establish age‐ and gender‐specific BMIs in terms of lowest mortality (risk nadir BMIs) for the Japanese population, and to then compare those to (i) BMIs for whites as determined by similar studies and to (ii) the official BMI guidelines.Methods and Procedures: A total of 32,060 men and 61,916 women ...

Is CLIL instruction beneficial in terms of general proficiency and specific areas of grammar?
Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education, 2015Recent studies have highlighted the benefits of CLIL instruction regarding general competence in the acquisition of second languages. However, it is not clear whether these benefits extend to specific areas of grammar. Here we compare the general proficiency and specific linguistic features of a group of learners of L3 English in a CLIL programme with ...

Neurophysiology, 1996
Neurophysiological mechanisms responsible for generalized and signal-specific long-term (longer than 24 h) nociceptive sensitizations were studied in theHelix command neurons of defensive behavior. After a one-day acquisition, the manifestations of the signal-specific sensitization were predominant. These included the site and modal specificities.

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 2013
The model developed in this paper draws on human capital theory to explain how newly founded business ventures achieve long–term growth and reduce their chances of failure. Using a sample of 201 business start–ups and assessing growth and venture failure over a period of 12 years, we found that general and specific human capital lead to growth and ...

Generic and disease‐specific quality of life as a predictor of long‐term mortality in heart failure
European Journal of Heart Failure, 2010AimsAlthough the vital prognosis of heart failure (HF) is generally poor, it varies substantially between patients. This study examined whether health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) predicts long‐term mortality in HF. It also evaluated the role of generic and disease‐specific HRQoL questionnaires.Methods and resultsWe studied 416 patients admitted for

We examined short-term changes in younger and older adults' control beliefs. Participants completed measures of general and memory-specific competence and locus of control on 10 bi-monthly occasions. At each occasion, participants rated their control beliefs prior to and following completion of a battery of cognitive tasks.
