Research linking the "quiet eye" (QE) period to subsequent performance has not been systematically synthesized. In this paper we review the literature on the link between the two through nonintervention (Synthesis 1) and intervention (Synthesis 2) studies. In the first synthesis, 27 studies with 38 effect sizes resulted in a large mean effect (d = 1.04) reflecting differences between experts' and

The present study investigated sport expertise development and maintenance throng the framework of self-determination theory (SDT). In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten elite athletes who had represented their respective nations in major international events. Data were analyzed deductively according to the principles of SDT. Results indicated that sport expertise development

The authors studied gaze behaviors in high- and intermediate-skill tennis players while they performed tennis serve returns. Participants returned 40 serves in 4 serve locations while wearing a mobile eye tracker. The ball's flight path was deconstructed into 3 distinct locations (i.e., ball before bouncing on surface, the bounce area, and ball after bouncing on surface), and gaze behaviors along

INTRODUCTION: Few individuals have access to mental health services due in part to underdetection. As it is more likely to consult for medical conditions, primary care may be a useful gateway for early detection of mental health problems.OBJECTIVE: Detection of the frequency of mental health problems in four hospital services at the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá: Outpatient unit, hospitalization, e

A major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of aggregated amyloid peptide (Aβ) in the brain. Here we develop a solubility assay for proteins and measure the solubility of Aβ40. In brief, the method utilizes 96-well filter plates to separate monomeric Aβ from aggregated Aβ, and the small species are quantified with the amine reactive dye o-phthalaldehyde (OPA). This procedure ensure

Theories of energy justice are standardly used to evaluate decision-making and policy-design related to energy infrastructure. All too rarely attention is paid to the need for a method of justifying principles of justice as well as justice-based judgments that are appealed to in this context. This article responds to this need by offering an engaged ethics approach to normative justification usefu

Resulting from the general availability of first-row transition metals, compared to their second- and third-row counterparts, photosensitizers (PSs) based on metals like iron have gained interest as candidates to enable photochemistry from solar energy, a largely underutilized energy source. Iron complexes equivalent to other metal complexes, currently being used as PS, do lack some of the advanta

There are many definitions of resilience, but in general it refers to the ability of a system, which may be a community, society, or economic system that are exposed to extreme disturbances, persistent stress, or hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from effects of the situation in a timely and efficient manner (PreventionWeb n.d.;). Sustainability is focused on

The contrast between the North and the South was a recurrent toposin Romantic literature, and in Scandinavia it played a crucial role in theRomantic writers’ search for a national cultural identity. This articledeals with the meaning and function of this imagery in some of EsaiasTegnér’s most famous poems. Being present already in his patrioticand partly Classicist poem ‘Svea’ (1811), Tegnér devel

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) drops recorded by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) identify patients with susceptibility to reflex syncope and orthostatic intolerance. We tested the hypothesis that treatments aimed to increase BP (reassurance, education & life-style measures plus pharmacological strategies) can reduce SBP drops.METHODS: Multicentre, o
