Effects of a clinical feedback system on client and therapist outcomes in a rural community mental health center

This study was undertaken following the advent of managed care. Clinicians have been critical of managed care's use of utilization review and arbitrary session limits, claiming these restrictions have not allowed them to provide needed care to some clients. The study evaluated the Outcomes Questionnaire (OQ), a monitoring system that measures mental health symptoms and functioning (Lambert et al., 1996). Using this system, clients are assessed at multiple time points over the course of psychotherapy and compared to community samples; when clients are not improving or are deteriorating, adjustments in the treatment regimen can be made. The study was conducted in a community mental health center in a rural midwestem state with 127 clients measured at the initial time point, 77 at time 2, and 59 at time 3. Clinicians were randomly assigned to two conditions; 1) a feedback condition, where clients were assessed at each therapy session, the results graphed, and feedback given to the therapist; 2) a no feedback condition, where clients were assessed at each session, but no feedback given; and 3) a control condition, where clients received treatment as usual. All participating clients were assessed with multiple instruments at the initial session, after two months of therapy, and after four months of therapy. The results demonstrated the efficacy of providing mental health services by showing positive results on several measures of quality of life, including mental health symptoms, physical health symptoms, self-esteem, perceived stress, service utilization and work-related measures. The study sample was generally satisfied with the services, although level of

Physical and Chemical Induced Mutagenesis Study for Identifying Lethality Dose in Chick Pea (&lt;i&gt;Cicer&lt;/i&gt; a&lt;i&gt;rietinum&lt;/i&gt; L.) Var. Co - 4

The present study was conducted in order to determine the effect of gamma rays and EMS on seed germination, Seedling height and root length in chick pea to identify the lethal dose (LD 50 ). In this regard, the healthy seeds of chick pea was subjected to different doses/concentrations of gamma rays (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60kR) and EMS (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50mM) for inducing mutation. The effect of gamma rays and EMS was determined by measuring the seed germination, seedling height and root length under the conditions of the M 1 generation. The results shows that, the seed germination, seedling height and root length were significantly decreased with increasing doses/concentrations. The LD 50 values were observed based on the growth reduction of seedlings after treatments with mutagen. The effective doses/concentrations which caused 50% growth reduction were observed in 40kR in gamma rays and 30mM in EMS.

Two binding modes reveal flexibility in kinase/response regulator interactions in the bacterial chemotaxis pathway

The crystal structure at 2.0-Å resolution of the complex of the Escherichia coli chemotaxis response regulator CheY and the phosphoacceptor-binding domain (P2) of the kinase CheA is presented. The binding interface involves the fourth and fifth helices and fifth β-strand of CheY and both helices of P2. Surprisingly, the two heterodimers in the asymmetric unit have two different binding modes involving the same interface, suggesting some flexibility in the binding regions. Significant conformational changes have occurred in CheY compared with previously determined unbound structures. The active site of CheY is exposed by the binding of the kinase domain, possibly to enhance phosphotransfer from CheA to CheY. The conformational changes upon complex formation as well as the observation that there are two different binding modes suggest that the plasticity of CheY is an essential feature of response regulator function.

Assessment of change to gravity field due to underground railroad tunnel construction

Tunnel Ober-/Untertürkheim is an underground railroad tunnel that was constructed between 2015 and 2019. The tunnel crosses obliquely below Nähterstraße in Wangen, Baden-Württemberg, at a depth of circa 22 m. The 2014 Diplomarbeit of Benjamin Efinger involved a gravimetric survey of a set of points situated along Nähterstraße, near the site of the at that time still unbuilt tunnel. In 2020 I have resurveyed those points, in addition to which I have surveyed several additional points situated along the same line, near where the survey line crosses above the tunnel. The coordinates of all gravimetric survey points are known via SAPOS augmented GNSS survey. The purpose of this thesis is to compare the pre- and postconstruction gravitation fields. The first task of survey data postprocessing is to apply corrections to each gravimetric observation; the applied corrections account for the centrifugal component as well as the component that is height of instrument times free-air gradient. Next a survey least squares adjustment is implemented in such a way that partitions every corrected gravimetric observation between a constant component common to all observations, time dependent bias of the gravimeter response variable, difference of magnitude of gravitation relative to a reference value, and random error. According to predictive modelling contained in the 2014 Diplomarbeit of Efinger, the endpoints of the survey line are sufficiently far from the tunnel that there is at most negligible change of gravitation there due to tunnel construction. Except for the two endpoints of the survey line: for all points observed both pre- and postconstruction, the least squares survey adjustment distinguishes preconstruction relative gravitation from postconstruction relative gravitation. The known, one-dimensional coordinates of the survey points together with their adjusted relative gravitation values constitutes a dataset that supports simultaneous least squares estimation of two Legendre series: one corresponding to preconstruction state of gravitation, the other corresponding to postconstruction state of gravitation. The difference between the two Legendre series is a stochastic function that is denoted as F; it is a model of the change of gravitation from preconstruction to postsconstruction. At the point where the survey line crosses above the underground railroad tunnel, Efinger’s predicted change of gravitation is approximately F - 1.618 √var(F).

Cardiac output of dogs exercising in the heat

We measured cardiac output and central blood temperature in five large dogs (27 kg mean body wt) running at 7.5 km/h for 30 min at two work loads and at low and high ambient temperature (Ta). Each animal ran on a level treadmill (O2 cost about 4 times that of resting) at 25 and 35 degrees C Ta and at a 20% slope (O2 cost about 10 times that of resting) at 25 and 35 degrees C Ta. Cardiac output (CO) was the same at 15 and 30 min of exercise at both work loads and both TaS. CO was higher at 35 degrees C Ta at both work loads. Blood temperature rose 0.6 degrees C during exercise on the level treadmill at 25 degrees C and stabilized after the 15th min of exercise. On the level treadmill at 35 degrees C, blood temperature increased by 1.9 degrees C after 30 min. During 30 min of running at 20% slope, blood temperature increased by 3.2 degrees C at 25 degrees C and by 4.6 degrees C at 35 degrees C. At these work loads the dog is able to increase CO during exercise in the heat. This response is similar to that of humans doing moderate exercise in the heat but is in contrast to that of humans doing heavy exercise in the heat, in whom CO shows a drop or no change compared with cool conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Plastic surgery in cicatricial laryngo-tracheal stenosis].

One hundred and thirty-seven cases of cicatricial laryngotracheal stenosis have been treated within the past 10 years. Our cases were classified into 4 types according to the destruction of the cartilagenous frame and stenosis of the airway, they were: obstructive (or blocking), collapsed, centripetally constricted and obliterative. Operative designs included recanalization, repairing, enlargement and reconstruction of the airway. With appropriate treatment of the scar and residual tissues, the airway was then supported with a silicone T-tube. Except 1 case (0.7%), 132 cases (96.4%) were detubated after an average period of one year, 4 cases (2.9%) were still under treatment. Ninety-six cases had been followed up for 2-10 years, 93 (96.9%) of them were still satisfactory. It has been stressed that the local scar tissue should be utilized to repair the wall of the larynx or trachea; the residual mucosa should be utilized to cover the denuded area in order to promoter regeneration of the ciliated epithelium; and the pediatric patients should be treated early. The silicone T-tube seems to be an ideal support for remoulding the airway. It could be placed in position for a considerable long period so as to ensure the patency of the airway.

ACUTE APPENDICEAL ABSCESS SIMULATING CECAL NEOPLASM

COEXISTENT cecal neoplasm with appendicular abscess is rather rare. In 1946 McLaughlin<sup>1</sup>in a review of the literature found only 11 such cases and added 1 of his own. In 1951 Hellsten and Ramström<sup>2</sup>of Sweden described four more cases. Thus we should be ever mindful of the fact that the differential diagnosis between an abscess in the right lower quadrant and cecal neoplasm should be made, if possible, in order to institute appropriate surgical therapy. In fact, the surgeon should be prepared to carry out ileocolic resection before laparotomy. In addition, when an appendiceal abscess is drained, one must be sure to reoperate at a later date in order to exclude any malignant growth. <h3>REPORT OF A CASE</h3> A 42-year-old man, a worker in a rubber factory, was admitted to the Somerville Hospital on Jan. 8, 1951, with a history of sudden constipation of two days' duration.

Prediction of Sorption/Desorption Parameters of Halogenated Aliphatic Compounds Using QSAR

Sorption and desorption is an important phenomenon to determine the fate of halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons in the aqueous phase. This study was conducted to develope a predictive equation capable of estimating the sorption and desorption potentials of halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons onto the sludge from activated process, sediment, and clay. It has shown that the sorption and desorption parameters can be accurately estimated using Quantitative Structural Activity Relationship(QSAR) models based on molecular connectivity indexes of test compounds. The QSAR model could be applied to predict the sorption and desorption capacity of the other halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons. The QSAR modeling would provide a useful tool to predict the sorption and desorption capacity without time-consuming experiments.

Cofactor of the “Lupus Anticoagulant”

Summary Normal plasma contains an activity known as cofactor which further lengthens the clotting time of the plasma of some patients with the “lupus anticoagulant.55 Cofactor has been characterized as either prothrombin or a gamma globulin. Our findings indicate that cofactor has the following properties: stable at room temperature but largely destroyed by heating for 30 min at 56° C; sparingly adsorbed by Al(OH)3 or BaS04; apparent molecular weight on gel filtration around 200,000 daltons ; precipit- able between 50-75% ammonium sulfate saturation. Cofactor was present in plasmas from patients with hereditary deficiencies of factor II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, or Fletcher factor; however, less cofactor activity was demonstrable in plasmas deficient in factor II, V, or X than in normal plasma or the other deficiency plasmas. Plasma from patients receiving oral anticoagulant therapy had variable levels of cofactor activity which could not be correlated with levels of factor II, VII, IX, X, or staphylocoagulase-reacting factor. Cofactor activity was unaffected by treatment with an anti-human immunoglobulin antiserum. These data support the conclusion that the cofactor reacting with our patient’s “lupus anticoagulant55 is neither prothrombin nor an immunoglobulin, but rather a unique molecule with some properties in common with each.

Compositional trends in Ba-, Ti-, and Cl-rich micas from metasomatized mantle rocks of the Gföhl Unit, Bohemian Massif, Austria

Abstract Ba-, Ti-, and Cl-rich micas associated with other Ba- and/or Cl-rich minerals in the rock matrix or in garnet and clinopyroxene hosted multiphase solid inclusions (MSI) are observed in mantle-derived garnet pyroxenites. The micas show extremely high variability in chemical composition ranging between Ba-rich phlogopite, chloroferrokinoshitalite, and oxykinoshitalite. Elemental covariation trends in mineral chemical data reveal the principal substitution mechanisms responsible for the observed chemical variability. The substitution Ba2+Al3+ ↔ K1+Si4+ associated with either OH1– ↔ Cl1– or Ti4+2O2– ↔ Mg2+2OH1 links phlogopite to chloroferrokinoshitalite and oxykinoshitalite, respectively, whereas the substitution Ti4+2O2– ↔ Fe2+2Cl1– links chloroferrokinoshitalite to oxykinoshitalite. The preferred incorporation of Cl in Fe-rich mica and of Ti+O in Mg-rich mica indicates that XFe (Fetot/Fetot+Mg) exerts an important control on mica composition. The positive correlation of XFe with Cl led to the formation of possibly the most Cl-rich mica so far described classified as chloroferrokinoshitalite (XFe0.88, Ba0.95K0.03Fe2.68Mg0.37Al1.91Si2.01Cl1.98) with 10.98 wt% Cl. Substantial substitution of OH– by Cl– and O2– in mica, and the presence of Cl-apatite, a rare Cl-rich phosphate goryainovite, and carbonates together with Cl-rich micas indicate high-Cl and -CO2 activity and low-H2O activity in metasomatizing fluids or melts that may be classified as Ba-Cl-rich silicocarbonatitic. The coexistence of two micas with distinct compositions close to chloroferrokinoshitalite (XFe0.57–0.77, K~0.1Ba0.6–0.8Mg0.7–1.3Fe1.7–2.3Ti0.0–0.1 Si2.2–2.3Al1.5–1.7Cl1.2–1.8) and oxykinoshitalite (XFe0.19–0.20, K~0.3Ba~0.5Mg2.0–2.1Fe~0.5Ti0.2–0.4Si2.4–2.6Al~1.8Cl~0.3) suggests that a miscibility gap exists between these two compositions. The exotic mineral assemblage was formed by interaction with metasomatizing fluids or melts whose origin cannot be defined with certainty. They may be derived from crustal or mantle lithologies or from the host garnet pyroxenites. The textural position of the MSI in garnet and their characteristic mineral assemblages indicate that they have been introduced into the garnet crystals under post-peak conditions, possibly during decompression. With this research we document substitution mechanisms in Ba-, Ti-, and Cl-rich micas and shed light on the behavior and composition of fluids or melts at the upper mantle/lower crust interface.

Challenges to the Implementation of ICT in Primary Education in East New Britain, Papua New Guinea

Education is a basic need but the quality of the delivery of education is not equally distributed amongst all its intended recipients. As countries embrace the Sustainable Development Goals, the movement towards achieving quality ‘Education for All’ has become challenged by financial resourcing, infrastructure deficits, and problems in communicating between key stakeholders. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been touted as a way to resolve issues of communication but literature has emerged that it in a classroom situation, it can be difficult to maintain the equipment. Issues around accessing human and physical resources for training so that the curriculum can be implemented also emerge as part of the literature. Papua New Guinea has been reforming its education sector since the implementation of a Tuition Fee Free policy in 2012. It has subsequently embarked on implementing standards-based education curriculum, of which ICT is a key component. Issues of finance, communication, and lack of human and technical resources have challenged implementation of the new curriculum. ICT has become an everyday part of life in PNG and is being utilised in the classroom, but the way in which professional development of current teaching stock occurs and the factors around who can and cannot use the technology are not known. This thesis argues that for quality education to occur, issues around communication must be mitigated by understanding and resolving issues around how education governance occurs, how professional development occurs and what the current problems around ICT use within the context of East New Britain Province.

The thermal comfort sweet-spot: A case study in a residential house in Waikato, New Zealand

A longitudinal study has revealed that 50% of New Zealand children sleep in rooms that fall below the expected standard for thermal comfort during the winter months. Causes include older insulation and glazing standards for residential homes, poor materials, inadequate ventilation, and residents being unable to afford heating. These combined factors result in poor indoor environmental quality (IEQ). This paper aims to analyse experimentally and computationally the thermal comfort in a bedroom occupied by two children (aged eight and three) from 19:00 to 7:00. The experiment was carried out during June 2021. The measured data were particulate matter (PM2.5), relative humidity (RH%), and air temperature (°C), captured with an air image sensor. In order to find appropriate thermal comfort parameters, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models with four heat pump temperature settings (19°C, 20°C, 21°C and 22°C) were investigated to assess the predicted mean vote (PMV), predicted percentage dissatisfied (PPD) and the local air quality index (LAQI) for the expired air. Measurements and CFD results show that setting the heat pump temperature to 22°C is aligned with the 1.7 Metabolic (MET) - EN ISO 7730, 2005 and ASHRAE 55 recommendation for thermal sensation and the indoor PM2.5 of 1.058 μg/m3, which meets ASHRAE 62.1, 2019 and the New Zealand Standard NZS4246:2016.

Dog-assisted therapy to treat emotional management in teenagers

&lt;p&gt;The emotional changes in adolescence are related to the difficulty to perceive, understand and regulate emotions, which negatively impacts on self-esteem and the management of emotions. Dog-assisted therapy can help improve self-esteem and help in the management of emotions. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of dog-assisted therapy on self-esteem and components of emotions in a group of adolescents with emotional problems. The results showed significant changes in the attentional emotion component of emotions, which means, in the ability to perceive their emotions.&lt;/p&gt;

Depositional and Diagenetic Controls on Reservoir Quality in First Wilcox Sandstone, Livingston Field, Louisiana

Livingston field is a large oil field (approximately 25 million bbl) in southeastern Louisiana. The field produces from the lower Eocene First Wilcox sandstone, a 40 to 50-ft (12 to 16-m) thick barrier island deposit, from subsea depths of 9,917-10,146 ft (3,023-3,092 m). The presence and quality of the reservoir are the direct result of diagenetic events that were strongly influenced by depositional facies. Early primary porosity was significantly reduced by clay and quartz overgrowths and by carbonate cements. Dissolution of the carbonate cement and leaching of feldspars and other unstable grains restored porosity to 65-75% of original values. The highest degree of secondary porosity was created in the facies of highest primary porosity--the eolian, beach, and upper sho eface--while the initially less porous middle and lower shoreface developed little or no secondary porosity. The formation of late-stage diagenetic clays (kaolinite, illite, chlorite, and smectite) have decreased permeability by reducing or blocking pore-throat openings.
