Abstract This study, theoretically based on integrated threat and image theory, explored (1) the mental constructs produced by the Slovak majority in relation to cooperation with the Roma minority and (2) differences in thinking about different Roma demographic groups. In Slovakia, prejudice towards Roma people is a long-standing phenomenon. In this study there were 228 participants, mostly young adults, who produced 22 categories of associations, explored using content and network analyses. The frequency of category associations in the first and second research group was mostly the same, but the distribution differed for the demographic groups considered by the third research group, which was asked to produce associations separately for each Roma demographic group. The largest difference measured was between integrated and segregated Roma people – the associations were mostly positive for the first and negative for the second. These results provide the first empirical exploration of cooperation intentions with Roma people in the Slovak context and suggestions are made for future discourse on Roma.

The present work involves the reconceptualization of self-consciousness as a multifaceted process. In the first study, subjects were asked to freely describe the contents of their thoughts when thinking about themselves. Content analyses resulted in the definition of specific categories of self-consciousness which were found to overlap partly with basic dimensions of the self-concept. In the second study, a valid and reliable self-report questionnaire of self-consciousness was developed, comprising fourteen separate factors. In the third study, different patterns of self-consciousness were found to be associated with depression, anxiety, self-disclosure, and loneliness. The theoretical and empirical implications of conceptualizing self-consciousness as a multiple-content phenomenon are discussed.

An interesting calicioid lichen has been collected as a consequence of the study that our research group is developing in the Iberian meridional beech forests. One of these is the forest Natural Reserve “Chaparral de Montejo” (Madrid Province), which represents one of the southern biogeographic limits of Fagus sylvatica in the Iberian Peninsula. The geological substratum is Silurian clayey slate. It is located in the Supramediterranean belt of central Spain. Sclerophora peronella has been found for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula and for the third time in southern Europe. The previous records in S Europe are from Calabria (Italy) by Puntillo (1992) and from Corse (France) by Vězda (Lich. Sel. Exs. 828).

This paper examines and compares U.S. poverty rates on two levels, with data obtained from the decennial censuses of 1960 through 2000. First, rates of poverty for five demographic groups are contrasted within each of the three most populous metropolises of the nation—Chicago, Los Angeles/Long Beach, and New York. Second, rates for each demographic group are contrasted among the three metropolises. The statistical evidence reveals both large differences among the individual demographic groups and also in the trends among the three most populous American cities.

The second record number of sealed brood, which took place on May 15 showed that consumption of succinic acid pergi helped increase the number of brood grown by 11.2% (P <0.001) and in the experimental group. Feeding bees use citric acid positively affects the amount of brood in the second experimental group. Compared with controls, the number of brood is higher by 7.5% (P < 0.001). Use of feeding bees III experimental group of lactic acid bacteria has increased the brood at 10.0% (P < 0.001). May 27 The difference between the number of counted squares and the control and experimental group is 16.3% (P <0.001), the second experimental group 11.5% (P < 0.001), the third experimental group 13.4% (P < 0.001). In the period, which fell on June 8 development of bee colonies increased, so the difference between the number of counted squares and the control and development of 22.2% (P < 0.001), the second experimental group 17.8% (P < 0.001), the third research group 18.9% (P < 0.001). June 20, recorded the best performance of the experimental group, the difference between the number of counted squares and the control and experimental group is 23.1% (P < 0.001), the second experimental group 18.3% (P < 0.001), the third experimental group 19.3 % (P < 0.001). Compared with the rate on May 3 yaytsenosnosti intensity oviposition of the uterus and research group for 27 May increased by 62.5%.

Background. The role of magnesium in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal with delirium is indefinite, although it is well known about its participation in the pathogenesis of this severe condition. The study was aimed to reveal the benefits and disadvantages of the sedation with added magnesium sulfate in comparison with traditional sedative therapy. Materials and methods. In our study, we tested 40 treated patients, which were randomized in two groups. We controlled the level of sedation by the Richmond agitation-sedation scale. The target level of sedation was between 0 and –2 points. We maintained this level in all the patients. In all groups, we evaluated the following values: duration of delirium, mean arterial pressure, pulse, the level of serum magnesium, cortisol and serotonin, laboratory indicators of kidneys, and liver condition. In the control group, we carried out the sedation with 10–20 mg of diazepam every 4–6 hours with infusion of barbiturates as needed. The treatment in the research group was identical with addition of magnesium sulfate 50 mg/kg every 8 hours. Results. The results of the study demonstrated that the duration of delirium is significantly lower in the research group in comparison with the control (p < 0.05). We found hypomagnesemia in almost half of the patients. The indicators of haemodynamics such as mean arterial pressure and pulse were significantly lower in both groups on the third day (p < 0.05). We found 4 cases (20 %) of hypotension in the research group and 2 cases (10 %) in the control group. The study of the dynamics of serum cortisol and serotonin showed the significant difference on the third day in both groups (p < 0.05). We found no difference in these laboratory parameters on the third day between groups (p ≥ 0.05). There was no significant difference between the laboratory indicators of kidneys and liver condition in both groups (p ≥ 0.05). Conclusions. The use of magnesium sulfate allowed decreasing the duration of delirium but had an excessive effect on haemodynamics. Such biomarkers as serum cortisol and serotonin didn’t verify the effect of magnesium sulfate.

Sex And Age Differences

<p><em>Anomia is one of the important factors, which can influence the psychological well-being of individuals. It is especially valuable to determine those socio-demographic groups which can demonstrate the highest levels of anomia. The purpose of the research was to determine whether there are sex and age differences in levels of anomia of Latvian inhabitants. The secondary data from the third European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) were used. The sample consisted of Latvian inhabitants (n = 1009), aged from 18 to 92 years (male – 34.9%, female – 65.1%). 3 indices and 3 subscales of anomia (Social Distrust, Social Isolation and Meaninglessness) were constructed (</em><em>Ļevina, Mārtinsone &amp; </em><em>Kamerāde, 2015a, 2015b). </em><em>A multivariate analysis of variance was conducted. It was found that there was a significant difference in multidimensional anomia between Latvian inhabitants of different age groups.</em></p><p> </p>

This study serves two purposes. First, it demonstrates a method of estimating and projecting annual poverty at sub-national levels. Data are obtained from decennial censuses and form the benchmarks from which poverty is estimated and projected for separate demographic groups. Projections are based upon historical curvilinear trends for each group. The methodology demonstrated can be easily applied in a variety of jurisdictional settings and levels. The second objective is to provide a portrait of poverty by demographic group specifically within the State of New York. The evidence indicates that New York can anticipate a substantial poverty increase over the next decade. There will also be major shifts among demographic groups in their shares of overall State poverty.
