Stress, time use and gender [PDF]

electronic International Journal of Time Use Research, 2007
This paper studies the gender aspect of stress within a Scandinavian welfare state regime with high employment rates for both women and men. By applying an economic model, an extended model and a stress-level model, we find that higher incomes lead to stress among women, somewhat confirming findings for Australia, Germany, Canada, Korea, and the US ...

Rhythm in the speech of a person with right hemisphere damage: Applying the pairwise variability index [PDF]

, 2007
Although several aspects of prosody have been studied in speakers with right hemisphere damage (RHD), rhythm remains largely uninvestigated. This study compares the rhythm of an Australian English speaker with right hemisphere damage (due to a stroke ...

Macropolycytes: Severe stress time for neutrophils

Morphologie, 2020
Macropolycytes are giant neutrophils found in a variety of benign and neoplastic conditions. Since megaloblastic anaemia is one of the recognised causes of macropolycytes, other blood film features of megaloblastic anaemia should be sought when they harbor hypersegmented nuclei.

How roots and shoots communicate through stressful times [PDF]

Trends in Plant Science, 2021
When plants face an environmental stress such as water deficit, soil salinity, high temperature, or shade, good communication between above- and belowground organs is necessary to coordinate growth and development. Various signals including hormones, peptides, proteins, hydraulic signals, and metabolites are transported mostly through the vasculature ...

Unstressed Vowels in German Learner English: An Instrumental Study [PDF]

, 2014
This study investigates the production of vowels in unstressed syllables by advanced German learners of English in comparison with native speakers of Standard Southern British English. Two acoustic properties were measured: duration and formant structure.

Learning During Stressful Times [PDF]

Learning & Memory, 2004
Stressful life events can have profound effects on our cognitive and motor abilities, from those that could be construed as adaptive to those not so. In this review, I discuss the general notion that acute stressful experience necessarily impairs our abilities to learn and remember.

Logopenic and nonfluent variants of primary progressive aphasia are differentiated by acoustic measures of speech production [PDF]

, 2014
Differentiation of logopenic (lvPPA) and nonfluent/agrammatic (nfvPPA) variants of Primary Progressive Aphasia is important yet remains challenging since it hinges on expert based evaluation of speech and language production.

Rhythm and Vowel Quality in Accents of English [PDF]

, 2010
In a sample of 27 speakers of Scottish Standard English two notoriously variable consonantal features are investigated: the contrast of /m/ and /w/ and non-prevocalic /r/, the latter both in terms of its presence or absence and the phonetic form it takes,

Speech rhythm: a metaphor? [PDF]

, 2014
Is speech rhythmic? In the absence of evidence for a traditional view that languages strive to coordinate either syllables or stress-feet with regular time intervals, we consider the alternative that languages exhibit contrastive rhythm subsisting merely
