Arp 299 - Two Interacting Galaxies
No full textArp 299 (Mrk 171), is an interacting system at 42 Mpc, comprising the galaxies IC 694 and NGC 3690. Interferometric CO maps at 6″ resolution (Sargent et al. 1987) showed compact molecular condensations at the nucleus of IC694 and in the overlap region of the galaxy disks [positions A and C – C in the terminology of Gehrz, Sramek, and Weedman (1983)]
PTSD: A Predictor of Pain Severity in Fibromyalgia Patients
No full textTraumatic life events have been frequently observed in chronic pain patients in empirical research. More specifically, fibromyalgia (FM) has been reported to occur more often after a traumatic event. As posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is also preceded by a traumatic event and has been associated with chronic pain and FM, the relationship between three variables (traumatic events, pain severity, and PTSD) is evaluated. This study examined data from 26 participants who reported having experienced at least one traumatic event and having been diagnosed with FM by a physician. The TLEQ, BPI, and PCL-C were used as measures for traumatic events, pain severity, and PTSD symptomatology, respectively. The total number of traumatic events (TNTE), number of traumatic events experienced in childhood (NTEC), and number of exceptionally traumatic events (H/H) were not able to individually predict pain severity in the whole group. However, TNTE predicted PCL-C scores and PCL-C scores predicted pain severity. Also, upon splitting the group into subgroups based on when the most traumatic event (MTE) was experienced, both TNTE and PCL-C scores predicted pain severity in the group that experienced their MTE in adulthood.Psycholog

Student Development Outcomes in Service Learning for Teacher Education
No full textStudents in the Liberal Studies Track I program for teacher preparation at California State University, Long Beach, are required to participate in service learning. The SERVE (Service Experiences to ReVitaIize Education) Program provides training for the students. The purpose of this study was to develop a mechanism for infusing Chickering\u27s psychosocial development model into the training. Two questions were asked: (a) given instruction in the model and support, are students able to apply the model to further their personal and professional development? and (b) what is the best way to implement the model in service learning training? Qualitative methodology was used.
The results showed that by gaining awareness of areas of development through the model, students were able to apply the student development theory to their personal lives and field of study. Recommendations for implementing the model, and for the fields of teacher education and student affairs are offered
