Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

1.4K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Bonding in Metals02:32

Bonding in Metals

46.8K
Metallic bonds are formed between two metal atoms. A simplified model to describe metallic bonding has been developed by Paul Drüde called the “Electron Sea Model”.

Non-nuclear Inheritance01:29

Non-nuclear Inheritance

21.4K
Most DNA resides in the nucleus of a cell. However, some organelles in the cell cytoplasm⁠—such as chloroplasts and mitochondria⁠—also have their own DNA. These organelles replicate their DNA independently of the nuclear DNA of the cell in which they reside. Non-nuclear inheritance describes the inheritance of genes from structures other than the nucleus.

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood03:34

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

43.1K
Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.

Bonding and Strength of Aggregate01:12

Bonding and Strength of Aggregate

139
The bond between aggregate particles and the cement matrix is significantly influenced by the shape and surface texture of the aggregates. High-strength concretes benefit from a rougher texture, which leads to stronger bonding due to greater adhesion. Angular aggregates with larger surface areas also enhance this bond. The bonding quality, however, is complex to assess as no universally accepted test exists. Good bonding is indicated when a crushed concrete specimen shows some aggregate...

Covalent Bonds01:08

Covalent Bonds

7.1K
Overview
When two atoms share electrons to complete their valence shells, they create a covalent bond. An atom's electronegativity—the force with which shared electrons are pulled towards an atom—determines how the electrons are shared. Molecules formed with covalent bonds can be either polar or nonpolar. Atoms with similar electronegativities form nonpolar covalent bonds; the electrons are shared equally. Atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unequally,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Grief Studies

Background:

  • Bereaved individuals employ strategies to maintain a connection with the deceased.
  • Little research exists on the unique experiences of widows who were pregnant at the time of their partner's death.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the continuing bond strategies used by young widows who lost their partners while pregnant.
  • To understand how the posthumous child influences these bond-forming strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Interpretive phenomenological research.
  • Study involved 13 Israeli widows who lost partners while pregnant.

Main Results:

  • Continuing bond strategies were linked to the posthumous child's life trajectory (pregnancy, birth, naming, resemblance).
  • Newborn involvement created a relational sense of time, blending past, present, and future.
  • Widows experienced blurred temporal boundaries and moments of "stopped time".

Conclusions:

  • The posthumous child is central to widows' continuing bond strategies.
  • These strategies redefine time and the widow's relationship with the deceased.
  • Findings offer insights into the "replacement child" phenomenon and perinatal grief.
