SUMMARYAims– Assessment of the efficacy of the rehabilitation approach that is recommended by the manual VADO (AAOS in English: Abilities Assessment and Objectives Setting) in schizophrenic syndromes.Methods– Controlled trial, partly with individual randomisation. Centres were invited to recruit 10 patients who in most centres were randomly allocated either to the VADO approach or to usual rehabilitation practice. At least two professionals for each centre attended a brief intensive training course. Patients were assessed at baseline and six months later with a) the FPS scale, which is an improvement on the DSMIV SOFAS; b) the BPRS 4.0; c) AR, a clinical tool that is contained in VADO.Results– 55 patients received the experimental interventions and 40 the control one. Six months later greater significant improvements were observed in the experimental group, both in social functioning and in psychopathology.Conclusions– The dissemination of structured rehabilitation approaches that are based on personalized definition of objective, intensive progress monitoring, patient's therapeutic education and validated strategies and do not imply additional costs, may be warranted. A longer follow–up is under way.Declaration of Interest: this work was partly funded by the National Mental Health Project (PNSM) of the Istituto Superiore della Sanita.

RiassuntoScopo- Discutere i principali problemi teorico-pratici connessi alia classificazione in campo medico e psichiatrico, e presentare la struttura generale della decima revisione della Classificazione Internazionale delle Malattie (ICD-10), entrata ufficialmente in vigore dal gennaio del 1993.Risultati- Sono dapprima discussi i fondamenti epistemologici della classificazione, le varie strategic classificatorie adottate in campo medico e psichiatrico ed i principali modelli classificatori esistenti. Sono quindi analizzati i problemi relativi alia attendibilità ed alia validità delle diagnosi psichiatriche, e vengono descritte le strategic che possono essere impiegate per migliorarle. Infine sono discussi i principi che hanno informato ia stesura dell' ICD-10 ed ifield trialseffettuati al fine di preparare il testo finale delle direttive diagnostiche.Conclusioni- La classificazione in psichiatria rappresenta un passaggio obbligato e necessario per rendere possibile la sistematizzazione delle nuove conoscenze e la comunicazione tra operatori, ricercatori ed utenti. La decima revisione dell' ICD rappresenta lo sforzo più ampio sinora compiuto in campo psichiatrico al fine di predisporre un sistema classificatorio rigoroso che, nel contempo, sintetizzi approcci e culture psichiatriche differenziate.

RiassuntoScopo - Studiare la sensibilità e la validità di contenuto di due strumenti recentemente sviluppati dal nostro gruppo per la misurazione multidimensionale delle aspettative e della soddisfazione dei pazienti e dei loro familiari nei confronti dei servizi psichiatrici territoriali: la Verona Expectations for Care Scale (VECS) e la Verona Service Satisfaction Scale (VSSS). Strumenti - La VECS e la VSSS sono costituite da alcune domande a risposta libera e da un questionario di 82 items che indaga in maniera multidimensionale l'interazione degli utenti con i servizi psichiatrici. Setting - Il servizio psichiatrico di Verona-Sud. Soggetti - Sono stati selezionati per la somministrazione della VECS e della VSSS: a) tutti i pazienti che, secondo i dati del Registro Psichiatrico dei Casi, risultavano vivere con i familiari nell'area di Verona-Sud ed aver avuto almeno 18 contatti con il servizio nei tre anni precedenti l'intervista; b) il familiare che, in tale periodo, si è maggiormente occupato di ciascun paziente. Risultati - È stata dimostrata una maggiore sensibilita del questionario VECS e VSSS nell'individuare le aspettative e l'insoddisfazione degli utenti rispetto ad un'intervista libera ed una maggiore sensibilità di una misurazione multidimensionale e riguardante contenuti setting-specifici rispetto ad una monodimensionale sulla soddisfazione globale. Lo studio delle distribuzioni di frequenza e l'analisi della varianza hanno dimostrato che la VECS e la VSSS possiedono buona sensibilità nei misurare variability sia fra i soggetti che fra le dimensioni che costituiscono il questionario. L'analisi combinata delle risposte libere e delle risposte strutturate ha dimostrato che la VECS la VSSS possiedono una buona validità di contenuto, secondo le opinioni dei pazienti e dei loro familiari; la struttura multidimensionale del questionario è stata determinante nei garantire la validita della misurazione. Conclusion - I dati presentati in questo e nell'articolo precedente dimostrano che è possibile misurare parametri soggettivi dell'interazione degli utenti con i servizi psichiatrici, quali le aspettative e la soddisfazione, in manie- ra accettabile, riproducibile, sensibile, valida e che la VECS e la VSSS possiedono buone proprieta psicometriche.

AbstractLibon et al. (2010) provided evidence for three statistically determined clusters of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI): amnesic (aMCI), dysexecutive (dMCI), and mixed (mxMCI). The current study further examined dysexecutive impairment in MCI using the framework of Fuster's (1997) derailed temporal gradients, that is, declining performance on executive tests over time or test epoch. Temporal gradients were operationally defined by calculating the slope of aggregate letter fluency output across 15-s epochs and accuracy indices for initial, middle, and latter triads from the Wechsler Memory Scale-Mental Control subtest (Boston Revision). For letter fluency, slope was steeper for dMCI compared to aMCI and NC groups. Between-group Mental Control analyses for triad 1 revealed worse dMCI performance than NC participants. On triad 2, dMCI scored lower than aMCI and NCs; on triad 3, mxMCI performed worse versus NCs. Within-group Mental Control analyses yielded equal performance across all triads for aMCI and NC participants. mxMCI scored lower on triad 1 compared to triads 2 and 3. dMCI participants also performed worse on triad 1 compared to triads 2 and 3, but scored higher on triad 3 versus triad 2. These data suggest impaired temporal gradients may provide a useful heuristic for understanding dysexecutive impairment in MCI. (JINS, 2012, 18, 20–28)
Hydrology becomes water science
Authors: Ackermann William C. 
Published: October 2011

The traditional hydrologic cycle is usually depicted as beginning with precipitation, with this in turn being acted upon by the landscape to produce a partial return to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration, and by the infiltration process which divides the remainder into surface runoff which returns to the sea, and into recharge which replenishes both the soil moisture and the ground water. The hydrologist has been concerned primarily with the terrestrial phases of this cycle, and therefore did not much concern himself with ocean evaporation or global circulation of the atmosphere.In this traditional context hydrology is very much a part of geophysics, and has particularly close ties with meteorology and oceanography. Hydrology still maintains its principal residence in geophysics, witness the Section of Hydrology in AGU and the International Association of Scientific Hydrology in the IUGG. In this association with geophysics, we have our home. Here we draw our scientific strength; here we talk to each other.
Reply [on Review of “The Genesis Strategy: Climate and Global Survival”]

Published: October 2011

Because Schneider seems to have the potential of becoming a first‐class scientist, a bit of advice appeared not out of place. He has the right to disagree.His objections to my interpretations of what he wrote seem to be a result of the ambiguity of the statements. Take the proposed fourth branch of government. We read on page 47, ‘Although the objectives of their [Pirages and Ehrlich] Planning Branch and the Truth and Consequences Branch proposed here are indeed similar, I envisage … that the latter might also operate primarily as a source of public information … ,’ and again on page 310 he states, ‘The fourth branch proposed here, although similar in many important aspects to the Planning Branch [proposed by Tugwell], differs perhaps in emphasis it places on public education’ [my emphasis]. To me this reads like a planning organization with a lot of public relations fanfare.
Mississippi Valley Earthquake studies
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

Studies on the cause of earthquakes in the central Mississippi Valley region have been intensified in response to the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977.Robert L. Wesson, chief of the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Earthquake Studies at the Survey's National Center, Reston, Virginia, said the reason for the comprehensive study is that the great earthquakes that occurred in the region in 1811 and 1812 are still unexplained. Perhaps the most violent series of earthquakes in United States history was centered in southeast Missouri near the small town of New Madrid, about midway between St. Louis, Missouri, and Memphis, Tennessee. The first, on December 16, 1811, was followed by two other principal shocks, one on January 23, 1812, and the other on February 7, 1812.

The California Current System (CCS) is one of the best sampled ocean regions, yet it remains obscurely understood and inadequately sampled.Technological advances in ocean modeling and observational techniques can now change this situation.Enhanced understanding of the features and dynamics of the CCS can aid fisheries and wildlife management, prediction and abatement of pollution and toxic phytoplankton blooms, atmospheric and climate change forecasts, and shipping and military operations.
Normalization And Matching Of Chemical Compound Names

Published: October 2011

AbstractWe have developed ChemHits (http://sabio.h-its.org/chemHits/), an application which detects and matches synonymic names of chemical compounds. The tool is based on natural language processing (NLP) methods and applies rules to systematically normalize chemical compound names. Subsequently, matching of synonymous names is achieved by comparison of the normalized name forms. The tool is capable of normalizing a given name of a chemical compound and matching it against names in (bio-)chemical databases, like SABIO-RK, PubChem, ChEBI or KEGG, even when there is no exact name-to-name-match.
“I Can See What You’re Saying”: Clinical Utility of Spectral Moment Analysis
Authors: Mandulak Kerry Callahan 
Published: October 2011

Spectral moment analysis (SMA) is an acoustic analysis tool that shows promise for enhancing our understanding of normal and disordered speech production. It can augment auditory-perceptual analysis used to investigate differences across speakers and groups and can provide unique information regarding specific aspects of the speech signal.
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the utility of SMA as a clinical measure for both clinical speech production assessment and research applications documenting speech outcome measurements. Although acoustic analysis has become more readily available and accessible, clinicians need training with, and exposure to, acoustic analysis methods in order to integrate them into traditional methods used to assess speech production.
Norm Conflicts, International Humanitarian Law, and Human Rights Law
Authors: Milanović Marko 
Published: October 2011

Abstract
This chapter rejects this conclusion: the lex specialis maxim ‘must be abandoned as a sort of magical, two-word explanation of the relationship between international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL) as it confuses far more than it clarifies’. The discussion of the interaction of particular norms of IHL and IHRL that regulate specific situations advances the following argument: such interaction will frequently result in a norm conflict, for which there are numerous tools for either conflict resolution or avoidance; lex specialis is at best a fairly limited tool of norm conflict avoidance, which cannot be used to describe the relationship between human rights and humanitarian law as a whole; and there are situations in which all legitimate interpretive tools will fail us, where a norm conflict will be both unavoidable and irresolvable due to a fundamental incompatibility in the text, object and purpose, and values protected by the interacting norms, and where the only possible solution to the conflict will be a political one. The chapter identifies three such possible situations of irresolvable antinomy — targeted killings, preventive security detention, and positive obligations during occupation — and discusses them in the light of recent cases.
The Role of the European Court of Human Rights in Monitoring Compliance with Humanitarian Law in Armed Conflict
Authors: Gioia Andrea 
Published: October 2011

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the relationship between the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and international humanitarian law (IHL). The first part of the chapter analyzes the relationship between the ECHR and IHL from a general point of view. Having determined that the ECHR continues to apply in times of armed conflict — both international and non-international — the discussion proceeds to examine the Convention's extraterritorial application, the relationship between the ECHR and IHL, and the competence of the European Court of Human Rights to take IHL into account when applying the Convention in situations amounting to armed conflict. The second part discusses the Court's case-law relating to situations of armed conflict in order to ascertain what role IHL has so far played in the Court's decisions: special reference is made to cases relating to the right to life, to the right to liberty, and to the protection of property. The possible explanations for the Court's marked reluctance to refer to IHL are discussed in this context, while pointing out that generally the Court has not so far adopted decisions squarely contradicting the applicable rules of IHL. The chapter concludes with an implicit plea for the Court to depart from its ‘ivory tower’ attitude towards IHL, so as to contribute to a convergence of the two legal regimes towards a more coherent as well as a more realistic regulation of conduct in armed conflicts in general and in non-international armed conflicts in particular.
Sir James Crichton-Browne
Authors: Oppenheim Janet 
Published: October 2011

Abstract
No Victorian or Edwardian alienist assumed the scientific and moral responsibilities of his work with greater confidence than did James Crichton-Browne. During the course of his career, he sampled nearly all of the professional opportunities open to British psychiatry in these decades, serving as resident medical officer at several public asylums, lecturing on mental disease at provincial medical schools, editing journals, inspecting the treatment of lunatics as a government official, and advising private patients as a fashionable psychiatric consultant. Browne's approach to mental illness revealed the uneasy coexistence of physiological and psychological interpretations that characterized the work of British psychiatrists throughout the 19th century. On the one hand, he espoused the physical model, unequivocally affirming the conviction that somatic conditions gave rise to the symptoms of mental derangement. On the other hand, Browne conceded real potency to moral means, even if their impact could only be perceived somatically.
Manly Nerves
Authors: Oppenheim Janet 
Published: October 2011

Abstract
The great problem with nervous breakdown was that it made a mockery of the distinctions on male sexuality, reducing its male victims to passivity, removing them from business activities and public affairs, rendering them utterly indecisive. In short, nervous exhaustion brought men perilously close to the feminine condition. The medical profession in these decades never attempted to deny the widespread incidence of nervous breakdown among men. It is utterly erroneous to assume that Victorian doctors perceived the male half of the human race as paragons of health and vigor, while assigning all forms of weakness to women. They could not have done so, even had they wanted to, for the evidence exposing male nervous vulnerability was too familiar to the Victorian public for pretense. The solution they achieved helped to confine stereotypes of masculinity from which men crippled by severe depression could have only derived cold comfort.
Framing the Margins
Authors: Wilson Ivy G. 
Published: October 2011

AbstractThis chapter illuminates how the compositional logic of American genre painting strategically organized zones in terms of centers and margins in various settings as different as parlors, fields, and post offices as a means to illustrate the forms of national belonging. In works by William Sidney Mount, Richard Caton Woodville, Eastman Johnson, and Winslow Homer, it analyzes the depiction of written notices, furniture, and attire as political devices that materialize space as a social domain. It pays particular attention to the ways that African American subjects are literalized as shadows in many of these paintings, tucked away into corners of parlors or hovering on the outskirts of scenes of entertainment, through an analytic of what it theorizes as “the social logic of spatial forms”.
The Patriot Opposition to Walpole
Authors: Gerrard Christine 
Published: October 2011

Abstract
This book is a full-length study of the so-called Patriot opposition to Robert Walpole, which reached its height during the clamour for war against Spain at the turn of the 1730s. The book examines the inter-relationship between patriotism, politics, and poetry in the period 1724-1742. It investigates the growing Patriot opposition during the Walpolian oligarchy, and asks whether a broad credo united all of Walpole's political opponents, or whether there was a distinction between Whig and Tory Patriots. The role of Frederick Prince of Wales as the campaign's cultural and political figurehead is discussed, as are the poetry and drama of such authors as James Thomson, Alexander Pope, and the young Samuel Johnson, who were all drawn to the heady idealism of the young Boy Patriots. Thomson's Rule Britannia and Johnson's London exploit the appeal to British history so central to the emotive propaganda of the Patriot campaign. Drawing on the literature, prints, architecture, and statuary of the 1730s, the book also discusses two of the decade's most powerful romantic patriotic myths — Gothic liberty, and Elizabethan greatness — and reveals that in its nationalistic emphasis upon Nordic and Celtic traditions, the figure of the ancient British Druid, and native ‘bards’, Patriot literature anticipates the ‘Gothic’ strain emerging in the poetry of Gray, Collins, and the Wartons only a few years later.
Jacobites and Patriots: Johnson and Savage
Authors: Gerrard Christine 
Published: October 2011

Abstract
By 1742, Robert Walpole had gone, only to be replaced by ‘politics as usual’, a Whig party reshuffle which in time came to include previous Patriot Whigs who abandoned their commitment to broad-bottom principles in pursuit of government places. Some of the most scathing definitions of Patriots, patriotism, and Whigs are supplied by Samuel Johnson. Patriot Whiggery and Jacobitism deployed overlapping sets of images and metaphors, especially those of redemptive kingship. But Patriot Whigs were rarely Jacobites. Patriot Whigs were remarkably consistent with their support for the House of Hanover, even if that support focused on the heir to the throne rather than its present occupant. This is not to deny that a few figures involved in Patriot politics later dabbled with Jacobite intrigue. But the fundamental tenet cherished by most opposition Whigs — defence of the Protestant succession — was ultimately irreconcilable with Jacobitism. Johnson's unusual oscillation between Whig Patriot idealism and stubborn Jacobite resentment was also characteristic of Richard Savage, perhaps the dominant influence on the young Johnson during his first years in London.
Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf
Authors: Smith Angela 
Published: October 2011

Abstract
Long after the death of Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923), Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) described being haunted by her in dreams. Through detailed comparative readings of their fiction, letters, and diaries, this book explores the intense affinity between the two writers. Their particular inflection of modernism is interpreted through their shared experience as ‘threshold people’, familiar with the liminal, for each of them a zone of transition and habitation. Writing at a time when the First World War and changing attitudes to empire problematized boundaries and definitions of foreignness, this book shows how the fiction of both Mansfield and Woolf is characterised by moments of disorienting suspension in which the perceiving consciousness sees the familiar made strange, and the domestic made menacing.
From Subjectivity to Objectivity
Authors: Hundert Edward M. 
Published: October 2011

AbstractThis chapter shows how experiences of an (‘external’) world of objects are part and parcel of any experiences united in a single consciousness. In order to understand how Kant manages this crucial move, it becomes vital to understand how he conceptualizes the ‘self’ which unites its experiences according to the necessary unity of consciousness. Therefore, most of this chapter discusses two closely related parts of Kant's theory. The first associates the self with the activity which unites our experiences in consciousness. The second distinguishes the sensory and the intellectual features of the self. In this text, Kant defines philosophy in a strict way as dealing only with the ‘a priori’. This definition of philosophy is accepted by many great thinkers, such as Bennett who writes that the psychological question of how children de facto acquire concepts is ‘not the philosopher's business’.
