  • self improvement of weighted pointwise inequalities on open sets
    Journal of Functional Analysis, 2020
    Co-Authors: Sylvester Erikssonbique, Juha Lehrback, Antti V Vahakangas
    Abstract:

    Abstract We prove a general Self-Improvement property for a family of weighted pointwise inequalities on open sets, including pointwise Hardy inequalities with distance weights. For this purpose we introduce and study the classes of p-Poincare and p-Hardy weights for an open set Ω ⊂ X , where X is a metric measure space. We also apply the Self-Improvement of weighted pointwise Hardy inequalities in connection with usual integral versions of Hardy inequalities.

    Abstract:

    We prove a general Self-Improvement property for a family of weighted pointwise inequalities on open sets, including pointwise Hardy inequalities with distance weights. For this purpose we introduce and study the classes of $p$-Poincare and $p$-Hardy weights for an open set $\Omega\subset X$, where $X$ is a metric measure space. We also apply the Self-Improvement of weighted pointwise Hardy inequalities in connection with usual integral versions of Hardy inequalities.

  • self improvement of pointwise hardy inequality
    arXiv: Classical Analysis and ODEs, 2018
    Co-Authors: Sylvester Erikssonbique, Antti V Vahakangas
    Abstract:

    We prove the Self-Improvement of a pointwise $p$-Hardy inequality. The proof relies on maximal function techniques and a characterization of the inequality by curves.

  • randomized controlled trial of a family oriented self management program to improve self efficacy glycemic control and quality of life among thai individuals with type 2 diabetes
    Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2017
    Co-Authors: Nutchanath Wichit, George Mnatzaganian, Mary D Courtney, Paula Schulz, Maree Johnson
    Abstract:

    Abstract Aims We evaluated a theoretically-derived family-oriented intervention aimed to improve self-efficacy, self-management, glycemic control and quality of life in individuals living with Type 2 diabetes in Thailand. Methods In a single-blinded randomized controlled trial, 140 volunteer individuals with Type 2 diabetes, recruited from a diabetes clinic in rural Thailand, were randomly allocated to intervention and control arms. Those in the intervention arm received routine care plus a family-oriented program that included education classes, group discussions, a home visit, and a telephone follow-up while the control arm only received routine care. Improvement in outcomes over time (baseline, Week 3, and Week 13 following intervention) was evaluated using Generalized Estimating Equations multivariable analyses. Results Except for age, no between-group significant differences were observed in all other baseline characteristics. Diabetes self-efficacy, self-management, and quality of life improved in the intervention arm but no improvement was observed in the controls. In the risk-adjusted multivariable models, compared to the controls, the intervention arm had significantly better self-efficacy, self-management, outcome expectations, and diabetes knowledge ( p β =14.3, (95% CI 10.7–17.9), p p p Conclusions Our family-oriented program improved patients' self-efficacy and self-management, which in turn could decrease HbA1c levels.

  • cognitive predictors of treatment outcome for exposure therapy do changes in self efficacy self focused attention and estimated social costs predict symptom improvement in social anxiety disorder
    BMC Psychiatry, 2019
    Co-Authors: Isabel L Kampmann, Paul M G Emmelkamp, Nexhmedin Morina
    Abstract:

    Cognitions play an important role in the development and maintenance of social anxiety disorder (SAD). To investigate whether changes in cognitions during the first six sessions of exposure therapy are associated with treatment outcome, we assessed reported self-focused attention, self-efficacy in social situations, and estimated social costs in 60 participants (Mage = 36.9 years) diagnosed with SAD who received in vivo or virtual reality exposure therapy. Patients demonstrating a greater decrease in estimated social costs during treatment reported greater improvement of their social anxiety symptoms following both forms of exposure therapy. While changes in self-focused attention and social self-efficacy during treatment were significantly associated with treatment outcome when examined individually, these changes did not significantly predict symptom improvement beyond social costs. Changes in estimated social costs during treatment are associated with improvement of social anxiety symptoms after exposure therapy. Future research needs to further investigate estimated social costs as a predictor in relation to other cognitive variables.
