Measurement of Quality of Life III. From the IQOL Theory to the Global, Generic SEQOL Questionnaire by Soren Ventegodt, Joav Merrick, Niels Jorgen Andersen

“…It consists of eight different quality-of-life concepts, ranging from the superficially subjective via the deeply existential to the superficially objective (well being, satisfaction with life, happiness, meaning in life, biological order, realizing life potential, fulfillment of needs, and objective factors [ability of functioning and fulfilling societal norms]).This paper presents the work underlying the formulation of the theories of a good life and how these theories came to be expressed in a comprehensive, multidimensional, generic questionnaire for the evaluation of the global quality of life � SEQOL (self-evaluation of quality of life) � presented in full length in this paper. …”

INTERNATIONAL RIVALRY IN THE ENERGY SECTOR: THE EASTERN EUROPEAN MARKET OF ATOMIC ENERGY IN FOCUS by Y. V. Borovsky

“…It is also noteworthy that the expansion of Rosatom (and its predecessors) to foreign markets, including Eastern Europe, is actively supported by the Russian state which in the second half of the 1990s – after a failed attempt of following in the footsteps of the West – joined in the rivalry, mostly imposed by the U.S. and their allies.As shown by the analysis,Russiaand the West, primarily theUnited States, are involved in the nuclear power sector to advance their economic interests, expressed in the success of their national corporations. …”

Frequency Modulation and Spatiotemporal Stability of the sCPG in Preterm Infants with RDS by Steven M. Barlow, Mimi Burch, Lalit Venkatesan, Meredith Harold, Emily Zimmerman

“…Moreover, the initial 5 cycles of the NNS burst manifest a frequency modulated (FM) segment which is a significant feature of the suck central pattern generator (sCPG), and differentially expressed in healthy and RDS infants. The NNS burst structure revealed significantly lower spatiotemporal index values for control versus RDS preterm infants during FM, and provides additional information on the microstructure of the sCPG which may be used to gauge the developmental status and progression of oromotor control systems among these fragile infants.…”
