Sexual self-esteem and sexual needs of young adults with cerebral palsy
Authors: Czapla Klaudia , Otrębski Wojciech 
Published: November 2014

<b>Background</b><br />
Sexuality is an important part of human existence, irrespective of race, religion or level of physical fitness. It can, however, be treated and exhibited by individuals in very different ways. The place of sexuality in a person’s life, and in the way it is materialised, is determined by a number of biopsychosocial factors. For some, the presence of these factors and their influence is not a matter of choice. They may arise as a consequence of the psychophysical condition of their organism. People with motor disabilities undoubtedly belong to this group.<br />
<br />
<b>Participants and procedure</b><br />
The study was carried out in Poland on a group of 61 people with roughly equal proportions of men and women. Subject selection was non-random; every subject was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP) and was aged between <br />
15 and 25. All of the subjects had normal levels of intelligence. Two methods were used in the study: Sexual Self-esteem Scale and Sexual Needs Scale.<br />
<br />
<b>Results</b><br />
The results in terms of sexual self-esteem and sexual needs allowed two different subgroups of subjects to be distinguished (H – with high scores; L – with low scores). The analysis of significance levels of the differences in terms of sexual self-esteem and sexual needs between subgroups H and L confirmed the clear distinction between each of the subgroups’ clinical pictures (p < .001) in 20 out of 21 of the analysed aspects. Falling in love was the only matter that did not differentiate the subgroups.<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusions</b><br />
There is a clear polarization of the results. Only 1/3 of the respondents had high sexual self-esteem and sexual needs. The remaining 2/3 reported having a rather low sexual self-esteem and low levels of needs with regards to their own sexuality. It needs to be stressed that CP-affected youth, similarly to their peers, may need support in discovering their sexuality and satisfying their sexual needs (2/3 of the respondents). The specifics of the range of support should take into account the aspects highlighted by the literature as associated with the causes of disability and contexts of psychosocial functioning of individuals with CP.

Zespół Sjögrena jest przewlekłą chorobą autoimmunologiczną charakteryzującą się obecnością nacieków limfocytarnych w gruczołach egzokrynnych, głównie ślinowych i łzowych, co objawia się suchością jamy ustnej i oczu. U około połowy pacjentów z pierwotnym zespołem dochodzi do rozwoju powikłań narządowych, w tym chorób limfoproliferacyjnych.<br />
W pracy opisano przypadek 27-letniej pacjentki z rozpoznanym zespołem Sjögrena, u której podejrzewano zajęcie układu oddechowego w przebiegu ziarniniakowatości z zapaleniem naczyń. Na podstawie wycinka pobranego ze zmienionej skóry u chorej wysunięto podejrzenie chłoniaka strefy brzeżnej z komórek typu B. Po weryfikacji patomorfologicznej i immunohistochemicznej wszystkich dotychczasowych preparatów histopatologicznych oraz analizie dokumentacji medycznej u chorej rozpoznano pozawęzłowego chłoniaka strefy brzeżnej z komórek typu B w stopniu zaawansowania IV wg klasyfikacji Ann Arbor. Chorą skierowano do dalszego leczenia w Klinice Hematologii, gdzie zastosowano leczenie wg schematu R-CVP (cyklofosfamid, winkrystyna, prednizon, rytuksymab).

Published: November 2014

En el presente artículo se pone de relieve las inquietudes que, el alumnado del Instituto de Educación Secundaria “María Bellido” de Bailén y del Instituto de Educación Secundaria “Jabalcuz” de Jaén (España), tienen de la organización y planificación de la evaluación que realiza el profesorado que imparte docencia a todos los cursos de primero de Bachillerato. Para ello, se ha desarrollado un cuestionario ad hoc que nos ha permitido conocer la valoración que realizan de la evaluación que llevan a cabo el profesorado. El instrumento consta de treinta y tres preguntas, nueve abiertas y el resto cerradas, divididas en siete dimensiones: 1. Concepto de evaluación/Concepto de evaluación del docente, 2. Instrumentos de evaluación, 3. Sistemas metodológicos, 4. Relación con el aula, 5. Momento de evaluación, 6. Asesoramiento del docente y 7. Habilidades del docente. En general, la investigación realizada nos arroja que el alumnado sigue teniendo desasosiego a la evaluación. Es percibida, en la mayoría de los casos, como influencia negativa en su vida académica.
Alexander Volck’s Anti-Moravian Polemics as Enlightenment Anxieties
Authors: Miller Derrick R. 
Published: November 2014

ABSTRACT
Alexander Volck’s Das entdeckte Geheimnis der Bosheit der Herrnhutischen Secte (The Revealed Secret of the Malice of the Herrnhuter Sect, 1748-1751) associates the Moravians with developments in philosophy and religion, such as Spinozism and historical Bible criticism, that had been emerging in Europe since the seventeenth century. As a result, Volck’s attacks on the Moravians reveal his anxieties about the challenges to traditional sources of secular and religious authority that the Enlightenment presented.

Cotton responses to different light–temperature regimes
Authors: ROUSSOPOULOS D. , LIAKATAS A. , WHITTINGTON W. J. 
Published: July 2002

A series of experiments investigating the interactive effects of
light and temperature on vegetative
growth, earliness, fruiting, yield and fibre properties in three cultivars
of cotton, was undertaken in
growth rooms. Two constant day/night temperature regimes with a difference
of 4 °C (30/20 and
26/16·5 °C) were used throughout the growing season in combination
with two light intensities (75
and 52·5 W m−2).The results showed that significant interactions occurred for most of
the characters studied.
Although the development of leaf area was mainly temperature-dependent,
plants at harvest had a
larger leaf area when high temperature was combined with low rather than
with high light intensity.
Leaf area was least in the low temperature–low light regime. However,
the plants grown under the
high temperature–low light combination weighed the least.Variations in the number of nodes and internode length were largely
dependent on temperature
rather than light. Light did, however, affect the numbers of branches,
sympodia and monopodia. The
first two of these were highest in the high light–high temperature
regime and the third in the low
light–low temperature regime.All other characters, except time to certain developmental stages and
fibre length, were reduced at
the lower light intensity. Variation in temperature modified the light
effect and vice versa, in a
character-dependent manner. More specifically, square and boll dry weights,
as well as seed cotton
yield per plant, were highest in high light combined with low temperature,
where the most and
heaviest bolls were produced. But flower production was favoured by high
light and high
temperature, suggesting increased boll retention at low temperature, especially
when combined with
low light. Low temperature and high light also maximized lint percentage.Fibres were shortest in the high temperature–high light regime,
where fibre strength, micronaire
index and maturity ratio were at a maximum. However, the finest and the
most uniform fibres were
produced when high light was combined with low temperature.Cultivar differences were significant mainly in leaf area and dry matter
production at flowering.
On the spatial evolution of a wall-imposed
periodic disturbance in pipe Poiseuille flow at
Re = 3000. Part 1. Subcritical disturbance
Authors: MA B. , VAN DOORNE C. W. H. , ZHANG Z. , NIEUWSTADT F. T. M. 
Published: July 2002

We have performed a numerical study on the transition of a cylindrical pipe flow under
the influence of a localized disturbance in the form of periodic suction and blowing
(PSB) applied at the pipe wall. We focus here on the so-called receptivity problem
where the spatial evolution of this disturbance is studied as it travels downstream
through the pipe. The study is carried out by means of two techniques: an eigenmode
expansion solution (EES) and a full nonlinear direct numerical simulation (DNS).
The EES is based on an analytical expansion in terms of the eigenfunctions of the
linear operator which follows from the equations of motion expressed in a cylindrical
coordinate system. The DNS is formulated in terms of a spectral element method.We restrict ourselves to a so-called subcritical disturbance, i.e. the flow does not
undergo transition. For very small amplitudes of the PSB disturbance the results
of the EES and DNS techniques agree excellently. For larger amplitudes nonlinear
interactions come into play which are neglected in the EES method. Nevertheless, the
results of both methods are consistent with the following transition scenario. The PSB
excites a flow perturbation that has the same angular wavenumber and frequency as
the imposed disturbance itself. This perturbation is called the fundamental mode. By
nonlinear self-interaction of this fundamental mode higher-order harmonics, both in
the angular wavenumber and frequency, are generated. It is found that the harmonic
with angular wavenumber 2, i.e. twice the wavenumber of the fundamental mode, and
with zero frequency grows strongly by a linear process known as transient growth.
As a result the (perturbed) pipe flow downstream of the disturbance region develops
extended regions of low velocity, known as low-speed streaks. At large disturbance
amplitudes these low-speed streaks show the development of high wavenumber oscillations
and it is expected that at even higher disturbance amplitudes these oscillations
become unstable and turbulent flow will set in.Our result agrees (at least qualitatively) with the transition scenario in a plane
Poiseuille flow as discussed by Reddy et al. (1998) and Elofson & Alfredson (1998).
Some handy notes on phonology

J. A. Goldsmith (ed.),The handbook of phonological

theory. Cambridge, MA & Oxford: Blackwell, 1995. Pp. xiv + 986.To assess a book of nearly a thousand pages with thirty-two contributions
is

something of a tall order, if not an impossible task, if one wants to do
justice

to all of it. For this reason, I have chosen to approach it from my own

standpoint on phonology and see to what extent the issues I see as crucial
to

the current vigorous debate in this area have been addressed and to examine

how they have been dealt with. First, however, I will present a general

description and discussion of the book as a whole.
Kinship Politics in Post-War Philippines: The Lopez Family, 1945–1989
Authors: Roces Mina 
Published: July 2002

On being awarded the Legion of Honor by President Corazon Aquino, Joaquin ‘Chino.’ Roces, publisher of The Manila Times, pleaded with the president:Please allow me to remind you, first. That our people brought a new government to power because our people felt an urgent need for change. That change was nothing more and nothing less than that of moving quickly into a new moral order. The people believed, and many of them still do, that when we said we would be the exact opposite of Marcos, we would be just that. Because of that promise which the people believed, our triumph over Marcos was anchored on a principle of morality . . . . To our people, I dare propose that new moral order is best appreciated in terms of our response to graft and corruption in public service. We cannot afford a government of thieves unless we can tolerate a nation of highwaymen.
Sensitivity to linguistic anomalies in spoken
sentences: a case study approach to understanding
thought disorder in schizophrenia
Authors: KUPERBERG G. R. , McGUIRE P. K. , DAVID A. S. 
Published: July 2002

Background. As a group, positively thought-disordered (TD) schizophrenic patients are relatively
impaired in their ability to use linguistic context to process sentences online (Kuperberg et al. 1998).
This study investigates the heterogeneity in the use of linguistic context both between individual TD
patients and within the individual patients as severity of thought disorder changes over time.Methods. Seventeen TD schizophrenics performed an online word-monitoring task on four
separate occasions. In each patient, baseline reaction time (RTs) to target words in normal sentences
were subtracted from RTs to target words in pragmatically-, semantically- and syntactically-violated sentences to obtain a measure of online sensitivity to each type of linguistic violation, and
these were compared with normative data of a healthy volunteer and a non-TD schizophrenic
control group. In addition, the co-variation of severity of thought disorder and sensitivity to
linguistic context within all individual TD patients over the four testing sessions, was examined.Results. There was marked heterogeneity between individual TD patients in their sensitivity to
different types of linguistic violations: some were selectively insensitive to pragmatic violations,
while others were insensitive to semantic and syntactic (subcategorization) violations. There was
also an inverse relationship between severity of thought disorder and sensitivity to linguistic
violations within individual patients over the four sessions.Conclusions. It is likely that a single cognitive deficit does not account for all types of schizophrenic
thought disorder, but rather that there are multiple deficits affecting specific levels of linguistic
processing. In these schizophrenic patients, impairment in the use of linguistic context was related
to the state, rather than the trait, of thought disorder.
Early risk factors and adult person–environment
relationships in affective disorder
Authors: VAN OS JIM , JONES PETER B. 
Published: July 2002

Background. Lower cognitive ability, higher neuroticism and symptoms of anxiety and depression
in childhood predict non-psychotic disorder in adulthood. This study examined whether these early
risk factors act by modifying relationships with life events close to disease onset in adulthood.Methods. Childhood measures of neuroticism (N) (including maternal N), cognitive ability (CA)
and symptoms of anxiety and depression were measured in a national British birth cohort of 5362
individuals born in the week 3–9 March, 1946. At ages 36 and 43 years, mental state examinations
were carried out by trained interviewers, and subjects were asked about the occurrence of stressful
life events in the previous year (SLE).Results. The effect of aggregated SLEs on mental health was greater in women, in individuals with
higher childhood N and poorer childhood mental health. Higher maternal N was also associated
with greater sensitivity to SLEs, independent of subject's N, suggesting possible familial
transmission of vulnerability. In addition, higher childhood N predicted, independent of later
mental health, greater likelihood of reported exposure to SLEs. In general, individuals with higher
childhood CA also reported more SLEs.Conclusions. The results suggest that early risk factors for affective disorder exert effects by
modifying person–environment relationships close to onset of adult symptoms. Sensitivity to life
events may be transmitted from parents to offspring; psychopathological continuity over the life-span may be explained in part by continuity of altered stress sensitivity.
Trifluoroethanol and colleagues: cosolvents
come of age. Recent studies with peptides and proteins
Authors: BUCK MATTHIAS 
Published: July 2002

Alcohol based cosolvents, such as trifluoroethanol (TFE) have been used for
many decades to denature proteins and to stabilize structures in peptides.
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and site directed mutagenesis have
recently made it possible to characterize the effects of TFE and of other
alcohols on polypeptide structure and dynamics at high resolution. This review
examines such studies, particularly of hen lysozyme and β-lactoglobulin. It
presents an overview of what has been learnt about conformational preferences
of the polypeptide chain, the interactions that stabilize structures and the
nature of the denatured states. The effect of TFE on transition states and on
the pathways of protein folding and unfolding are also reviewed. Despite
considerable progress there is as yet no single mechanism that accounts for all
of the effects TFE and related cosolvents have on polypeptide conformation.
However, a number of critical questions are beginning to be answered. Studies
with alcohols such as TFE, and ‘cosolvent engineering’ in general, have
become valuable tools for probing biomolecular structure, function and
dynamics.1. COSOLVENTS: OLD HAT? 2982. HOW DOES TFE WORK? 2992.1 Effect on hydrogen bonding 3002.2 Effect on non-polar sidechains 3012.3 Effect on solvent structure 3023.

New multiplicities of dreaming and REMing
Authors: Hunt Harry T. 
Published: July 2002

The five authors vary in the degree to which the recent neuroscience of the REM state leads them towards multiple dimensions and forms of dreaming consciousness (Hobson et al.; Nielsen; Solms) or toward all-explanatory single factor models (Vertes & Eastman, Revonsuo). The view of the REM state as a prolongation of the orientation response to novelty fits best with the former pluralisms but not the latter monisms.[Hobson et al.; Nielsen; Revonsuo; Solms; Vertes & Eastman]
Describing quadratic Cremer point polynomials by parabolic perturbations
Authors: SØRENSEN DAN ERIK KRARUP 
Published: July 2002

We describe two infinite-order parabolic perturbation procedures yielding quadratic polynomials having a Cremer fixed point. The main idea is to obtain the polynomial as the limit of repeated parabolic perturbations. The basic tool at each step is to control the behaviour of certain external rays.Polynomials of the Cremer type correspond to parameters at the boundary of a hyperbolic component of the Mandelbrot set. In this paper we concentrate on the main cardioid component. We investigate the differences between two-sided (i.e. alternating) and one-sided parabolic perturbations.In the two-sided case, we prove the existence of polynomials having an explicitly given external ray accumulating both at the Cremer point and at its non-periodic preimage. We think of the Julia set as containing a ‘topologist's double comb’.In the one-sided case we prove a weaker result: the existence of polynomials having an explicitly given external ray accumulating at the Cremer point, but having in the impression of the ray both the Cremer point and its other preimage. We think of the Julia set as containing a ‘topologist's single comb’.By tuning, similar results hold on the boundary of any hyperbolic component of the Mandelbrot set.
Alternative land management approaches in the highlands of south-western Saudi Arabia
Authors: SALEH MOHAMMED ABDULLAH EBEN 
Published: July 2002

There is debate world-wide over urbanization, structured planning, deforestation and land management; these issues are no less important in Saudi Arabia.State tenure of traditionally protected lands in Saudi Arabia has created gaps in the protection of the ecosystem and control of urbanization that indigenous peoples can fill. The present situation has emerged since 1932 when local control of resources was lost in the drive to unify the Kingdom politically. An alternative to the practised system of land management and planning is proposed. The alternative is that which recognizes indigenous people as potential stewards of the vernacular landscape and it may play a leading role in the conservation and management of the highlands of the south-western region of Saudi Arabia.To strengthen the 1993 Law of Regions which aimed at improving the standard of administrative work and development in the Kingdom will require the establishment of a new relationship between indigenous people, scientists and national governmental organizations. In this, indigenous peoples should have juridical recognition and control over large areas of forests around their settlements in exchange for a commitment to conserve the ecosystem and protect biodiversity. In essence, such an outcome may offer the integration of two knowledge systems into an innovative resource-management strategy and land-conservation plans.
