(2016-09-22)Objectives and main purpose: The aim of this paper was to examine if the multiple environments of the adolescent including family, peers, school and neighbourhood might function as protective health assets against self-harming ... -
Self-injurious behaviour: reviewing evidence for best practice
(2000)This article brings together some of the research literature from the last 15 years concerning self-injurious behaviour (SIB) in people with learning disabilities. There is a focus on medical, biological and psychological ... -
Self-knowledge in Kierkegaard
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-01-05)Throughout his authorship, Kierkegaard shows an intense fascination with Socrates and Socratic self-knowledge. This chapter traces, in roughly chronological order: (1) the young Kierkegaard’s autobiographical reflections ... -
Self-Learning Hot Data Prediction: Where Echo State Network Meets NAND Flash Memories
(2020-01-03)Well understanding the access behavior of hot data is significant for NAND flash memory due to its crucial impact on the efficiency of garbage collection (GC) and wear leveling (WL), which respectively dominate the performance ... -
Self-management for people with long-term neurological conditions
(2012-05)Although English government policy has encouraged the implementation of self-management programmes in services for people with long-term conditions, the evidence for their efficacy has been limited. People with long-term ... -
Self-management interventions for epilepsy in people with intellectual disabilities: A Scoping Review
(2016-10-01)Purpose People with intellectual disabilities (ID) experience higher incidences of chronic health conditions, poorer health outcomes, and increased risk of premature death. Epilepsy is 20 times more common in people with ... -
Self-Management, Psychological Correlates, and Clinical Outcomes in People on Dialysis for End Stage Renal Disease
(2016-04-14)The thesis that this dissertation aims to defend is: Certain self-management behaviours in End Stage Renal Disease are predicted by self-efficacy, patient activation, and psychological distress, and in turn predict clinical ... -
Self-medication with Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS): A systematic review
(2023-11-28)Currently, novel psychoactive substance (NPS) use presents a challenging issue for authorities. To effectively tackle the use of NPS, a deeper understanding of the motivations of those who use NPS is required. Evidence ... -
Self-Motivated Composition of Strategic Action Policies
(2018-06-11)In the last 50 years computers have made dramatic progress in their capabilities, but at the same time their failings have demonstrated that we, as designers, do not yet understand the nature of intelligence. Chess playing, ... -
