description: In response to worsening housing affordability resulting from rapid housing price appreciation, governments in some high housing price areas have introduced taxes or restrictions to reduce investment by non-residents in residential real estate. We study the effectiveness of these efforts using the restrictions imposed by local Chinese governments in November 2010 on apartment (condominium units) purchases. Our contribution comes from using data that exploits within city variation in restriction implementation to better control for unobserved city differences and the incorporation of land auction data to identify the supply effect of these policies. Our results suggest that restrictions on non-owner-occupant purchases significantly reduce activity levels by approximately 40% in the short run, compared to areas without restrictions. These effects diminish with time. However, housing price changes are not different between restricted and unrestricted areas. The results operate via end-user demand and not through the land market and the subsequent supply response by developers as neither the number of land auctions or prices paid for land have differential changes between districts with and without purchase restrictions.

description: Vibroacoustic stimulation by a Body Monochord can induce relaxation states of various emotional valence. The skin conductance level (SCL) of the tonic electrodermal activity is an indicator of sympathetic arousal of the autonomic nervous system and thus an indicator of the relaxation response. Salivary cortisol is considered to be a stress indicator of the HPA-axis. The effects of the treatment with a Body Monochord and listening to relaxation music (randomized chronological presentation) on SCL and salivary cortisol in relation to the emotional valence of the experience were examined in patients with psychosomatic disorders (N = 42). Salivary cortisol samples were collected immediately before and after the expositions. Subjective experience was measured via self-rating scales. Overall, both the exposure to the Body Monochord as well as the exposure to the relaxation music induced an improvement of patients’ mood and caused a highly significant reduction of SCL. A more emotionally positive experience of relaxation correlated with a slightly stronger reduction of the SCL. Both treatment conditions caused a slight increase in salivary cortisol, which was significant after exposure to the first treatment. The increase of salivary cortisol during a relaxation state is contrary to previous findings. It is possible that the relaxation state was experienced as an emotional challenge, due to inner images and uncommon sensations that might have occurred.

description: Background The pathophysiological origin of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is largely unknown. However, individuals with presumably pathogenic mutations in FAMIN have been reported, associating this gene with a rare subtype of this disorder. FAMIN, that is formerly also referred to as LACC1 or C13orf31, has recently been shown to play a crucial role in immune-metabolic functions and is involved in regulation of inflammasome activation and promotion of ROS production. Case presentation We describe two siblings with severe familial forms of juvenile arthritis in which whole-exome-sequencing revealed a novel homozygous frameshift mutation (NM_153218.2:c.827delC¸. p.(T276fs*2) in FAMIN. Conclusions The observation of a new deleterious mutation adds further evidence that pathogenic mutations in FAMIN are causal for a monogenic form of JIA. Furthermore the associated phenotype is not restricted to systemic JIA, but can also be found in other forms of familial juvenile arthritis.

description: Lors de la derniere glaciation du Wisconsin, la calotte glaciaire s'est arretee au flanc oriental des Monts Richardson qui separent les Territoires du Nord-Ouest du Territoire du Yukon. La majeure partie de la region septentrionale du Yukon fut alors epargnee de l'invasion par l'inlandsis laurentidien. Cet evenement a provoque la reorganisation du systeme hydrographique du nord du Yukon, la submersion de trois grands bassins de la region creant ainsi de vastes lacs alimentes par les eaux de fonte du glacier continental. Les evenements glaciaires sont bien documentes dans la litterature, mais la description et la chronologie relative des evenements qui ont eu lieu en marge de la limite glaciaire, et en particulier ceux convernant les paleolacs, font souvent defauts. Afin de pallier a ce manque d'information, la these presente l'etude des caracteristiques sedimentologiques du material des plages d'un des anciens lacs. Par cet etude nous tentons de verifier l'hypothese suivante: l'etude des caracteristiques des sediments des paleoplages permet de determiner la frequence des episodes glacio-lacustres dans la plaine d'Old Crow. De plus, nous voulons repondre aux deux objectifs principaux: connai tre l'environnement dans lequel les lacs se sont mis en place et les evenements qui ont conduit a leur drainage.

description: A product line is a family of related products. Feature models are a widely used formalism to specify the valid configurations of product lines. As those feature models are too complex and expensive to analyze manually, researchers rely on tool support to gather insight into the configuration spaces. Typically, numerous analyses are executed on the same feature model, which require multiple computations. Knowledge compilation is a technique in which we first invest time in an offline phase to transform the feature model into a corresponding target language, enabling us to compute more complex problems in polynomial time during the following online phase. Research shows that deterministic decomposable negation normal forms (d-DNNFs) are a suitable target language that scales better than comparable approaches while still being more efficient in the online phase. The product line development process leads to changes in the feature model, which requires us to recompile another d-DNNF. In this thesis, we present an incremental approach that reuses an initial d-DNNF and adapts it according to feature model edits. We evaluate our approach in an empirical evaluation that encompasses 33 industrial feature models and three different experiments. We conclude that our approach is beneficial for some combinations, but overall, recompiling from scratch shows to be at least equally as performant as our approach. Moreover, we explain the obstacles that our approach fails to overcome and give a recommendation based on our insights on the currently best way in practice to cope with feature-model evolution.

description: Marine ecosystems are exposed to increasing human pressures and climatic change worldwide. It has therefore become essential to describe ecosystem statuses with respect to multinational protection schemes, often necessitating long-term monitoring programmes. Changes in the food-web structure, which can be monitored via stable isotope measurements, represent an important descriptor of the status of marine ecosystems. We investigated long-term changes (29 years) in isotopic values (ð 13C and ð 15N) in four indicative organisms at different trophic levels in the southern North and Baltic Seas: bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus), blue mussel (Mytilus ssp.), eelpout (Zoarces viviparus), and herring gull (Larus argentatus). Time series analyses using generalised additive models revealed largely consistent declines in ð 13C and ð 15N throughout all trophic levels of the coastal food web at all study sites, indicating a clear change in these coastal regions from 1988 to 2016. There were no clear long-term patterns in egg biometrics for herring gulls, except for a consistent increase in eggshell thickness. The declines in stable isotope values were in line with the results of previous long-term studies of single higher-trophic-level species, which suggested that the noted changes were mainly caused by altered foraging patterns of the studied species. The current results demonstrate that declines in ð 13C and ð 15N have occurred throughout the whole food web, not just in particular species. We discuss the possible reasons for the decrease in stable isotope values, including decreasing eutrophication and an increase in terrestrial carbon sources. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018

description: Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP) and photoplethysmography (PPG) are both useful techniques to monitor cardiovascular status. Though ABP monitoring is more widely employed, this procedure of signal acquisition whether done invasively or non-invasively may cause inconvenience and discomfort to the patients. PPG, however, is simple, noninvasive, and can be used for continuous measurement. This paper focuses on analyzing the similarities in time and frequency domains between ABP and PPG signals for normotensive, prehypertensive and hypertensive subjects and the feasibility of the classification of subjects considering the results of the analysis performed. From a database with 120 records of ABP and PPG, each 120 s in length, the records where separated into epochs taking into account 10 heartbeats, and the following statistical measures were performed: Correlation (r), Coherence (COH), Partial Coherence (pCOH), Partial Directed Coherence (PDC), Directed Transfer Function (DTF), Full Frequency Directed Transfer Function (ffDTF) and Direct Directed Transfer Function (dDTF). The correlation coefficient was r > 0.9 on average for all groups, indicating a strong morphology similarity. For COH and pCOH, coherence (linear correlation in frequency domain) was found with significance (p < 0.01) in differentiating between normotensive and hypertensive subjects using PPG signals. For the dataset at hand, only two synchrony measures are able to convincingly distinguish hypertensive subjects from normotensive control subjects, i.e., ffDTF and dDTF. From PDC, DTF, ffDTF, and dDTF, a consistent, a strong significant causality from ABP→PPG was found. When all synchrony measures were combined, an 87.5 % accuracy was achieved to detect hypertension using a Neural Network classifier, suggesting that PPG holds most informative features that exist in ABP.

description: In this thesis we presented a comprehensive investigation of the thermodynamic behaviour of several astrophysically interesting crystalline phases. Then, for the first time, we derived a 2-dimensional distribution of gas and crystalline grains within a protoplanetary disc, and applied analytical calculations to study the possible chemistry and dynamics of grains and predict their evolution. Our results provide vital clues and new insights on the possible mechanisms that produced the observed crystalline grain distribution in protoplanetary discs, and the bulk material which likely formed meteorites and the planets in our Solar System.

Threshold logic functions.
Creators: name: Yue, C. K.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1963
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Threshold logic elements are a new type of multi-input switching components in computer technology. They are more general than "and" or "or" gates. The output of a threshold element is 1, if and only if the weighted sum of its inputs equals or exceeds a threshold, otherwise the output is 0. Boolean functions which are realizable by such an element are called threshold functions. The analysts and synthesis of threshold functions, and the decomposition of threshold functions are the extension of logic theory which deal with the threshold elements in the same way as switching theory treats the conventional gates. An introduction to threshold logic functions is given in chapter 1. Chapters 2 and 3 which concern with the properties and synthesis of threshold logic functions are the results of a general survey. The method of decomposition of threshold functions given in chapter 4 was developed independently.

description: Like other livestock sectors, the Canadian egg industry has evolved substantially over time and will likely experience similarly significant change looking forward, with many of these changes determining the sustainability implications of and for the industry. Influencing factors include: technological and management changes at farm level and along the value chain resulting in greater production efficiencies and improved life cycle resource efficiency and environmental performance; a changing policy/regulatory environment; and shifts in societal expectations and associated market dynamics, including increased attention to animal welfare outcomes—especially in regard to changes in housing systems for laying hens. In the face of this change, effective decision-making is needed to ensure the sustainability of the Canadian egg industry. Attention both to lessons from the past and to the emerging challenges that will shape its future is required and multi- and interdisciplinary perspectives are needed to understand synergies and potential trade-offs between alternative courses of action across multiple aspects of sustainability. Here, we consider the past, present and potential futures for this industry through the lenses of environmental, institutional (i.e., regulatory), and socio-economic sustainability, with an emphasis on animal welfare as an important emergent social consideration. Our analysis identifies preferred pathways, potential pitfalls, and outstanding cross-disciplinary research questions.
Speeding-up state-space search by automatic abstraction.
Creators: name: Mkadmi, Taieb.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Most existing abstraction algorithms are sensitive to the initial problem formulation. Given two different descriptions of the same space, they will produce different abstractions, of which one might be efficient for problem-solving while the other might be inefficient. This thesis presents a completely automated approach to generating and using abstractions for problem solving in state-spaces. The strategy to overcome the problem of sensitivity is called the graph relabelling strategy. The abstraction algorithms used are all based on that strategy and on a theoretical study of the complexity to abstract and to search using an abstraction. This study presents theorems and compares analytical results to some known graph algorithms. Extensive experiments confirm that our abstractions can be quickly computed and greatly reduce problem-solving time in state-spaces, especially those with invertible operators.

Secretoneurin is a Neuropeptide Regulating Luteinizing Hormone Release from Pituitary Gonadotrophs
Creators: name: Zhao, E

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Secretoneurin (SN) is a major functional peptide derived from the secretogranin II (SgII) precursor, one of granin family members. Our previous studies revealed that SN had a stimulatory action on luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion from goldfish pituitary in vivo and in vitro. In my PhD thesis, I isolated and identified free SN peptide in goldfish brain and pituitary by using reversed phase HPLC and western blots. Immunocytochemical localization showed that SN immunoreactivity (IR) was found within magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamic nucleus preopticus, prolactin producing lactotrophs in rostral pars distalis (RPD) of the pituitary and nerve fibres in pituitary neurointennediate lobe (NIL). These studies indicated the production of SN in goldfish brain and pituitary. I furthermore explored SN production under the regulation of hypothalamic gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). Treatment of dispersed goldfish pituitary cells in vitro with GnRH increased both gene and protein expression of SgII and SgII-derived peptides which were significantly associated with that of prolactin. In vitro treatment with SN stimulated LH release from dispersed goldfish pituitary cells. Immunoneutralization experiments indicated that pituitary-sourced endogenous SN not only plays a paracrine role but also acts as a potential transduction factor to mediate GnRH-induced LH release in goldfish pituitary. In mouse LbetaT2 gonadotrophs, SN is able to up-regulate both LH secretion and the mRNA levels of multiple gonadotropin subunits. In LbetaT2 cells, SN also activates a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade leading to phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Further studies should focus on the isolation and localization of SN receptors in pituitary to expand the hypothesis that SN is a newly-identified hormone in the neuroendocrine system.

description: The purpose of this research is to describe and analyze the structure and process of decision-making inherent in the United Nations' Regional Seas Programme (RSP). This programme applies a comprehensive management approach to marine and coastal areas, in formulating regional action plans which address a variety of coastal and water resource problems and issues. These action plans are formulated according to the needs of the region, as perceived by the governments concerned. The research product is a series of cogent observations and recommendations specifically related to the Regional Seas Programme and its structure and process. These pronouncements are related specifically to the elements of the Resource Management Assessment Model. Several conclusions were made for each element. Finally, the thesis returns to its premiere motivation: a concern for Arctic management. It is suggested that elements of the Regional Seas Programme may be suitable for the Arctic management experience. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Relapsed precursor T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is characterized by resistance against chemotherapy and is frequently fatal. We aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms resulting in relapse of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and analyzed 13 patients at first diagnosis, remission and relapse by whole exome sequencing, targeted ultra-deep sequencing, multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification and DNA methylation array. Compared to primary T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, in relapse the number of single nucleotide variants and small insertions and deletions approximately doubled from 11.5 to 26. Targeted ultra-deep sequencing sensitively detected subclones that were selected for in relapse. The mutational pattern defined two types of relapses. While both are characterized by selection of subclones and acquisition of novel mutations, ‘type 1’ relapse derives from the primary leukemia whereas ‘type 2’ relapse originates from a common pre-leukemic ancestor. Relapse-specific changes included activation of the nucleotidase NT5C2 resulting in resistance to chemotherapy and mutations of epigenetic modulators, exemplified by SUZ12, WHSC1 and SMARCA4. While mutations present in primary leukemia and in relapse were enriched for known drivers of leukemia, relapse-specific changes revealed an association with general cancer-promoting mechanisms. This study thus identifies mechanisms that drive progression of pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia to relapse and may explain the characteristic treatment resistance of this condition.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Top Submerged Lance (TSL) technology was invented in the early 1970's at CSIRO in Clayton, by a team led by Dr John Floyd. It was initially developed for reduction of tin reverberatory furnace slags and the first commercial furnace at Associated Tin Smelters in Sydney was installed for this purpose in 1978. This plant was also used to develop tin concentrate smelting at commercial scale before closing due to the collapse of the tin price in the late 1980's. The technology was then adapted and used in a wide variety of non-ferrous applications but has still managed to maintain contact with its origins in tin. To date some 65 commercial TSL plants have been built by Outotec/Ausmelt, which excludes the Isasmelt contribution to TSL plants. In 1989 HMIB constructed and operated a small TSL tin smelter in Arnhem, Holland. This plant had a relatively short lifespan as local regulations forced the closure of the complex which included a lead smelter. Funsur constructed a greenfield TSL tin concentrate smelter in 1996 in Peru which was followed by YTCL in China in 2000. Following a lull of a few years, China Tin commissioned a TSL tin smelter in 2013 which will be followed by Vinto, Bolivia in 2014.

description: Das Konzept einer „Immutable Infrastructure“ bringt Vorteile bei der Aufrechterhaltung einer Infrastruktur. Dabei ist es möglich mit etablierten Betriebssystemen zu arbeiten, welche dieses Konzept unterstützen. Allerdings birgt diese Vorgehensweise Hürden wie lange Startzeiten oder geringe Anpassungsmöglichkeiten. Das Werkzeug „LinuxKit“ bietet die Möglichkeit minimale Linux Distributionen zu generieren, um diese Hürden zu überwinden. Diese Arbeit formuliert allgemeine Anforderungen an das Konzept einer „Immutable Infrastructure“ und diskutiert, ob und wie LinuxKit in der Lage ist diese zu erfüllen.

description: Objective: “History, Theory, Ethics of Medicine” (German: “Geschichte, Theorie, Ethik der Medizin”, abbreviation: GTE) forms part of the obligatory curriculum for medical students in Germany since the winter semester 2003/2004. This paper presents the results of a national survey on the contents, methods and framework of GTE teaching. Methods: Semi-structured questionnaire dispatched in July 2014 to 38 institutions responsible for GTE teaching. Descriptive analysis of quantitative data and content analysis of free-text answers. Results: It was possible to collect data from 29 institutes responsible for GTE teaching (response: 76%). There is at least one professorial chair for GTE in 19 faculties; two professorial chairs or professorships remained vacant at the time of the survey. The number of students taught per academic year ranges from <100 to >350. Teaching in GTE comprises an average of 2.18 hours per week per semester (min: 1, max: 6). Teaching in GTE is proportionally distributed according to an arithmetic average as follows: history: 35.4%, theory 14.7% and ethics 49.9%. Written learning objectives were formulated for GTE in 24 faculties. The preferred themes of teaching in history, theory or ethics which according to respondents should be taught comprise a broad spectrum and vary. Teaching in ethics (79 from a max. of 81 possible points) is, when compared to history (61/81) and theory (53/81), attributed the most significance for the training of medical doctors. Conclusion: 10 years after the introduction of GTE the number of students and the personnel resources available at the institutions vary considerably. In light of the differences regarding the content elicited in this study the pros and cons of heterogeneity in GTE should be discussed.
La place de la télévision dans l'organisation temporelle familiale : une analyse sociologique des pratiques culturelles de la vie quotidienne.

description: A partir d'une etude ethnomethodologique, la these se propose d'etudier la structuration du temps de quatre familles de la region de la capitale nationale a travers leurs habitudes d'ecoute electronique. Les significations d'usages et la valeur symbolique du temps consacre aux medias domestiques sont mises en evidence a l'aide de categories analytiques portant sur la sequence, frequence, duree, rythme et planification de l'ecoute televisuelle. Les conclusions generales semblent indiquer que l'ectoute televisuelle est, d'une part, en opposition avec le temps considere productif et d'autre part, propice a la creation de routines et rituels repetitifs. Les roles sociaux de genre ainsi que les ecarts generationnels sont indicatifs des differentes experiences du temps et de l'espace au foyer.
L'«église sacrement du salut» et les défis du monde rural africain : le cas de la «kindoki» (sorcellerie) chez les kwilois au diocèse de Kikwit (Congo).

description: Nous nous proposons d'étudier dans cette thèse la question de la sorcellerie, plus précisément celle de la «kindoki», qui se pose avec acuité à l'environnement de l'évangélisation missionnaire de l'Église de Kikwit au Congo-Kinshasa. L'étiologie de la «kindoki» chez le peuple kwilois est complexe. Elle est le mcde d'interprétation le plus populaire de l'énigme de la souffrance humaine, qui intervient souvent fois lors de décès inopinés et fréquents, lors de maladies et d'autres épreuves. Au dire de beaucoup d'acteurs socio-historiques, elle représente le défi majeur et incontournable sur le plan de l'évangélisation comme sur celui du développement humain. Longtemps abandonnée au domaine de l'ethnologie, de l'anthropologie et de la philosophie 1 , notre thèse l'aborde du point de vue de la réflexion théologique et missiologique. La nécessité d'une telle réflexion sur le plan théologique s'imposait à partir du moment où la «kindoki» s'avère comme une négation de l'amour et de la vie et, par conséquent, comme une perversion du plan de Dieu. De fait, quelle que soit la prise de position théorique sur l'existence ou non de la «kindoki», celle-ci constitue, d'une part, un véritable drame de souffrance humaine englobant tout ce qu'il y a de maléfique et de destructif aux plans psychologique, social et économique; d'autre part, elle lance aux Églises d'Afrique le défi de la question du salut. Comment expliquer la persistance et la résurgence de cette croyance en dépit des efforts et des progrès dus à l'évangélisation et à la civilisation occidentale? L'Église catholique a-t-elle suffisamment présenté l'Évangile comme une Bonne Nouvelle à vivre qui marque vraiment l'existence même des Kwilois et des Kwiloises? Et finalement Jésus-Christ est-il le Dieu vivant, sauveur et libérateur des Kwilois et des Kwiloises? Telles sont les questions qui nous ont guidé tout au long de cette étude. En vue de répondre à ces questions, il nous a semblé utile d'examiner à sa jute valeur la praxis de l'Église de Kikwit. (Abstract shortened by UMI.) 1 Voir à ce sujet notre bibliographie générale.

Auteur direction, collaboration and film music: Re-imaginings in the cinema of Rodriguez and Tarantino
Creators: name: Raines, Heather J
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Music.
subject: Cinema.

description: The theory of film music and its terms and categories have not yet been applied to or tested in more recent genres of film, and this study tests the application of the terms auteur and melomane in the films of Robert Rodriguez (Once Upon A Time In Mexico, Sin City and Planet Terror) and Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill V. 1 and 2, Death Proof). Both directors have a distinct musical stance, and through an examination of the above-mentioned films, their influences and sonic impact are explored. The working question of this thesis, in the abstract, is whether or to what extent the terms, concepts and directorial categories of film-music theory apply to this recent repertoire. This study explores the similarities and differences in the relationship between the music in the films of the auteur and melomane while exploring the fields of musical narrative present in contemporary film.

Diese Bezüge werden mit diesem und einem zweiten Zwischenbericht (TEXTE 18/2018) herausgearbeitet. Der vorliegende Bericht widmet sich der konzeptuellen Analyse von drei ausgewählten Diskursen zum guten Leben: Beyond GDP, Postwachstum und Glück.
Framing a Curriculum of Queered Performance(s): Problematizing the Language of "Tolerable" Queerness within Mainstream Classrooms

subject: GLBT Studies.

description: This thesis is an exploration of expressions and representations of heteronormalized gender and sexuality discourses constructed by a group of students and educators involved in a pilot program at an eastern Ontario vocational high school. These performances of stereotyped queer identities or experiences overpower and silence the performances of identities outside the norm. Moreover, by defining what queerness is through a heterosexual frame, mainstream curricula defines what is acceptable (in education), and what is perceived as unwanted deviant queerness. Within this study I will reiterate the students' and educators' responses, reactions and opinions on a range of queer issues, and through autoethnography and currere methodologies, I will analyse my past and present reactions to queerness within the classroom in order to inform pedagogical strategies that one could possibly approach issues of heteronormalization in the future.

description: Cochlear implantation (CI) is increasingly being used in the auditory rehabilitation of deaf patients. Here, we investigated whether the auditory rehabilitation can be influenced by the psychological burden caused by mental conditions. Our sample included 47 patients who underwent implantation. All patients were monitored before and 6 months after CI. Auditory performance was assessed using the Oldenburg Inventory (OI) and Freiburg monosyllable (FB MS) speech discrimination test. The health-related quality of life was measured with Nijmegen Cochlear implantation Questionnaire (NCIQ) whereas tinnitus- related distress was measured with the German version of Tinnitus Questionnaire (TQ). We additionally assessed the general perceived quality of life, the perceived stress, coping abilities, anxiety levels and the depressive symptoms. Finally, a structured interview to detect mental conditions (CIDI) was performed before and after surgery. We found that CI led to an overall improvement in auditory performance as well as the anxiety and depression, quality of life, tinnitus distress and coping strategies. CIDI revealed that 81% of patients in our sample had affective, anxiety, and/or somatoform disorders before or after CI. The affective disorders included dysthymia and depression, while anxiety disorders included agoraphobias and unspecified phobias. We also diagnosed cases of somatoform pain disorders and unrecognizable figure somatoform disorders. We found a positive correlation between the auditory performance and the decrease of anxiety and depression, tinnitus-related distress and perceived stress. There was no association between the presence of a mental condition itself and the outcome of auditory rehabilitation. We conclude that the CI candidates exhibit high rates of psychological disorders, and there is a particularly strong association between somatoform disorders and tinnitus. The presence of mental disorders remained unaffected by CI but the degree of psychological burden decreased significantly post-CI. The implants benefitted patients in a number of psychosocial areas, improving the symptoms of depression and anxiety, tinnitus, and their quality of life and coping strategies. The prevalence of mental disorders in patients who are candidates for CI suggests the need for a comprehensive psychological and psychosomatic management of their treatment.
