An exploration of a holistic approach to counselling psychology integrating mind, body and spirit
… little is known about IGTT in the context of the Idi Amin regime in Uganda. The present study explored the outcomes and mechanisms via which the trauma of one generation who lived through Idi Amin’s regime impacted the subsequent generation. Using an Interpretative Phenomenological Approach (IPA), …

A denoising algorithm for surface EMG decomposition
… used to calculate the inter-discharge interval (IDI) for the denoised MUPTs. In total, VR decreased 24.88% and the SNR increased 6.0% (p’s < 0.05). The standard error of estimate (3.2 versus 3.69%) in mean IDI before and after denoising using the relaxed criteria, was very similar (p>0.05). The …
