Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is extensively exploited for more accurate pathological changes as well as diagnosis. Conversely, MRI suffers from various shortcomings such as ambient noise from the environment, acquisition noise from the equipment, the presence of background tissue, breathing motion, body fat, etc. Consequently, noise reduction is critical as diverse types of the generated noise limit the

College life requires more physical and emotional resources from students than high school. As a result of these higher demands, it is common for college students to experience greater levels of stress. If stress is not dealt with effectively, individuals suffer psychological symptoms such as low self esteem, reduced motivation, anxiety and depression. Effective coping strategies facilitate the return to a balanced state, reducing the negative effects of stress.The data collection was carried out by filling anonymously the Toulouse's scale of Coping, which consists of 54 statements expressing coping strategies. In total, 18 positive and negative coping strategies, classified in six strategy categories (focus, social support, withdrawal, change of attitude, control, denial) and three strategy fields (behavioural, information seeking, emotional) were tested. The use of the studied strategies was quantified in three levels (low, moderate, high). The study cohort (n=999) was recruited from the Greek educational system, among 5 cities of Greece. The data show that all coping strategies are used by the majority of the study participants (>95%), though the intensity may vary from person to person, leading to different mean values. Women, as expected were found to implement more coping strategies in general, with social support, change and withdrawal to be applied the most (p<0,0001). No statistically significant differences were found concerning age or place of origin. Surprisingly, even though all students employ a variety of coping strategies, geographical location of each college or university may favor a preference towards certain strategies. Consequently, there is evidence that physical surroundings and learning environment of smaller university cities influence coping strategies, such as social support, emotion, positive strategies and focus.

The aim of this study was to translate the Disagreement and Aggression in the Operating Theatre Scale (DAOTS) into Greek and investigate the frequency of perceived conflicts, the sources of disagreement and the suggested methods of coping with them within and among professional groups in operating theatres in Greece. The results of this study support the reliability and validity of the DAOTS. The majority of the respondents had witnessed episodes of aggressive behaviour and/or disagreement during the last six months. Physicians more frequently revealed an aggressive behaviour towards a colleague, while nurses were found to be witnesses of a conflict between different professional teams. Daily/weekly disagreements among respondents about availability of equipment, theatre time, changes in the list order and availability of surgical staff were reported. Additionally, hospital type and years of professional experience are considered to affect the prevalence of exposure to a disagreement.
