Considering the continuously rising patient prevalence levels of MRSA and the repeatedly reported failures of isolation policies to control its spread, our findings support further evaluation of pharmacological (and other) strategies to actively achieve eradication of MRSA carriage in patients.
This questionnaire deals with the "ability to actively achieve well-being, inner equilibrium, appropriate stimulation, a feeling of competence, and a sense of being able to control stressful situations" [ 19].
Self-Regulation (SR) is thought to represent the "ability to actively achieve well-being, inner equilibrium, appropriate stimulation and feeling of competence to control and manage stressful situations"[ 20] and shows repeatedly low-moderate correlations with aR (0.30-0.38) [ 25, 20].
We defined PTI as the endeavour to utilize personal behavioural and cognitive resources actively to achieve good teaching performance.
Air moisturizing and heating can be achieved actively (through the use of heated humidifiers, HH) or passively (by means of heat and moisture exchangers, HME) [ 1].
Longer time to first cigarette after waking (a validated measure of nicotine dependence 17) was critical in determining whether actively recruited smokers achieved prolonged abstinence.
Other psychological factors may play a role in preferences for health and disease related interventions, like the responsibility of the patient for the illness [ 7], whether the outcome is achieved actively or passively [ 22, 23], or whether the diagnosis is benign vs. malign [ 23], but these factors are not consistently linked to the prevention-treatment dimension.
Further social commitment is achieved by actively supporting social and cultural activities in the region (starting point is corporate activity "infrastructure" and social dimension).
This can be achieved by actively engaging local stakeholders in planning as well as implementing the programmes.
High motion performance on multiple terrains can be simply achieved by actively adjusting the position of paddle shaft in the ePaddle mechanism.
