Function

I'm a bit odd ... But would that make me an odd Function? Sorry, couldn't resist

Hello everyone In SPSS, based on a questionary, I have multiple variables based on the same question, each time concerning another category. So I have 5 categoric variables with each time 5 identical options. Is there a way I can make a 3D bar chart in SPSS with on x-axis the possible options, and on the y-axis the name of the variables, and on the z-axis the frequency? Thanks! F SOLVED: made a new dataset with 2 variables, one displaying the original variable names, the other displaying the possible options.

I'm no professional in gastrointestinal motility, so I can't confirm, neither deny the times you give, but there's such thing as a gastrocolic reflex; when eating, not only your stomach 'starts' working (a rather complex mechanism mediated by cholinergic pathways), but also your small and large intestines, which may contribute to absorption of glucose and, downstream, a rise of glycemia.

Cholesterol of 3, 8, 5.8? What units do you use?

Careful with experimenting with (stopping treatment with) medicines and always consult your physician before making such decisions. Especially with drugs such as bupropion. I'm not going to say indisputably that weight is a factor that might contribute to a raise in diastolic RR, but it may very well be one. As always, consult your physician with personal health-related questions (though I'm not to lecture you here, since you indicate the nature of interest in the matter, rather than explicitly asking for medical advice)

Bodyweight? Hmm ... As far as I know, diastolic pressure is a consequence of the systolic pressure, and compliance of the blood vessels, more specifically arteries. The compliance, or the lack of it (when the pressure in your left heart reaches systolic pressure, the aortic valve opens and blood flushes through the aorta, diluting it, making the pressure drop substantially; however, your arteri(ol)es will 'rebounce'), contribute to the maintenance of blood pressure at the diastole, so that it doesn't fall back all the way to 0 mm Hg, but stereotypically stagnates at 80 mm Hg. This is the wind kessel phenomenon of arteri(ol)es, something you might want to look up. As we age, the compliance of our vessels diminish. Hence, the wind kessel phenomenon also diminishes in effect, and the diastolic pressure may rise a bit. Bodyweight? I don't know specifically. There are factors that indeed, might interfer with vessel compliance (compression by fat, tumours, atherosclerosis, ...), to which bodyweight (and NEFA's & (LDL-)cholesterol) may very well contribute.

Very febrile dream-like, aren't they ... I'm truly fascinated by the genesis of febrile dreams and am keen on learning much more about them. I once stumbled upon an article basically describing it perfectly, on ResearchGate ... Sadly enough, it was only available on request and I'm afraid its authors are no longer in the picture.

I don't see an image. Ergo, I don't see a point in your thread, truth be told. Signed, someone with probably less initials.

Update: made a 'mistake' (rather a formality error): since basically the study conducted is a retrospective cohort study, a preference is given to risk ratio (RR) instead of odds ratio (OR), so I've replaced all OR with RR.

If anyone knows something about why that first video could be interpreted as scary (as it is by everyone I showed it to; everyone agreed with it actually making you feel like you just went through a febrile dream)... Is it possible that, when it concerns the music, it is somewhat scary or at least strangening, because it does not comply with sounds we know, and tones/chords we kind of, expect and are familiar with?

Hello everyone I just saw these videos, and wanted to share it with you guys ... Caution: it is incredibly strangening, and to me, it feels like one of the weirdest febrile dreams ever (the crazy sh*t you get delivered at night when having a fever). https://www.facebook.com/brianbbrianbrian/videos/1758908054371540/ https://www.facebook.com/cool3dworld/videos/1800400513511177/ Not sure if I can share links here ... Sorry if I can't. Please, discuss the emotions provoked by this ... Thing. I wonder what has to go through someone's mind in order to be able to make such a demonic thing. Even watching it feels like tripping without drugs (not that I have any experience with drugs, but ah heck.) Happy Hunger Games! -Function

Here's the malicious malefactor. The lion was my buddy btw, because I knew he'd shred that bear apart. (Note that the bear sounds even more evil in Dutch and the lion sounds a bit .. stupid, a bit snobbish) Fun fact: I believe this is the first thing to have taught me how to turn off a telly. Another young terror: my parents were so responsible they found it okay to let me watch Poltergeist and The Ring at the age of 6-7 years old. Guess what. I hate clowns now.

I suffered from nightmares and subsequent anxiety attacks caused by that bear in the Teletubbies for quite some years. I'd explain it fully, but let it speak for itself that in several countries, the episode with the bear and lion was banned from national television because of its traumatizing character. Not really a misconception, but it screwed with my mind in that way that it still affects the way I sleep (I could explain this if some of you want me to, but I'm not going to hijack this post), and at a certain point, was so bad that I could not foresee, as a young child of 5-6 years old (yes, even then), if I would encounter that bear in real life or not. Especially when I was going upstairs all alone. In the dark. Pretty sure that if my parents knew how badly I suffered mentally and what it did to me (if even I dared to speak out for it), I could've got a serious financial compensation for moral damage.

It might also be interesting, OP, to look up Wallers' degeneration

You might want to consider sending in "ikentina" to Oxford's.

I cannot think of damage in a pathway, neurologically seen, that implies other damage than damage done to neurons, which cannot regenerate properly. And, of course, dead neurons cannot do anything. I think it depends on the amount of neurons damaged whether the part would render dysfunctional and remain so over time. So it may very well be that remaining neurons will make synaptic connections to other neurons after having lost their usual partner.

As far as I'm aware of, neurons are not capable of regenerating (note the difference: regeneration is not the same as repair: neurons can repair, but not regenerate) properly in order to form fully functional neural tissues again; you'll always have some sort of fibrous (scar, dysfunctional) tissue replacing the original. Most of the changes happening in the hippocampus, if I recall correctly, are due to changes in synaptic plasticity and changes in which synapses different neurons actually form with one another.

Oh so THAT's where the famous "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" ribbon comes from! I always wondered but it never came to me of looking it up ... Thank you for this fun fact!

Hmm ... Is it per se detrimental? Idk, if it isn't, I find "disorder" seemingly labeling, as in: we tell you what is normal and everything that is not conform these norms, is part of a disorder. WHich basically is the case, but ah well .. I find it difficult to explain my problem with the term "mental disorder" ... Anyone who can understand me in my reasoning? I'd rather describe it as "aberrations of common behaviour patterns", without having to label "common behaviour patterns" as "normal" or anything that deviates from that as "abnormal" or "disorder"
