Treatment Techniques for Adult Female Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse
No full textThe author reviews recent empirical, case study, and conceptual literature that examines or discusses treatment techniques for adult female survivors in individual therapy. These techniques are divided into the following 11 categories: relationship‐building techniques; questioning: family‐of‐origin techniques; writing techniques; gestalt work, role playing, and psychodrama; transactional analysis and inner‐child work: hypnotherapy and guided imagery; cognitive techniques; behavioral techniques; life‐skills training; and other techniques. The author concludes with implications for researchers and practitioners. 1994 American Counseling Associatio
Acute-onset diplopia
No full textPurpose: To investigate the clinical features of all patients with acute-onset diplopia presenting to the ophthalmology department. Methods: The notes of every patient who presented with acute onset (<4-week duration) diplopia to the ophthalmology clinic over a 2-year period were reviewed. Data regarding clinical features, underlying aetiology, past medical history, investigations and outcomes were extracted. Results: One hundred and forty-nine patients presented with 53.7% having an isolated third, fourth or sixth nerve palsy, 10.7% a mechanical cause, 10.1% a dysfunction of higher control, 8.1% decompensation of a pre-existing heterophoria, 6.7% idiopathic, 5.4% causes of monocular diplopia and 5.3% another diagnosis. Neuroradiological investigation identified that <5% of patients had a serious underlying pathology, which required immediate management; 80.5% had a diagnosis and underlying aetiology, which were obvious at presentation based only on clinical information and evaluation. Conclusions: Acute onset diplopia is an uncommon and challenging presentation for the ophthalmologist to manage. These results demonstrate that the aetiology is commonly identifiable at the first presentation based on clinical evaluation, only a small percentage require urgent radiological investigation and a small minority of cases are likely to have serious emergent pathology
On e \u3csup\u3e-\u3c/sup\u3e + Mn elastic scattering at ϵ = 20 eV impact energy
No full textSynopsis Current situation relating to 20-eV electron elastic scattering off Mn is discussed and complemented by the author s calculation. Noticeable discrepancies between available calculated and experimental data for large scattering angles are highlighted. Existing understanding of electron scattering off Mn is, thus, inconclusive. Further probes into the matter are urged
Marker: Locust Dell Academy 1834-1843
No full textLocation of Marker: Front of Willingham Hall, University of North Alabama. Text: On this site Nicholas Marcellus Hentz conducted a girls\u27 school. Native of Metz, France, Hentz was a painter, entomologist, author, and was once a professor at University of North Carolina. Experimenting with silkworms, he planted groves of mulberry trees around this section of town. His wife, Caroline Lee Whiting Hentz, native of Massachusetts, assisted in the academy. She also wrote plays, poems, stories, popular novels, and a significant diary of her years in Florence.https://ir.una.edu/markers/1011/thumbnail.jp
Recognition influences social interactions in red-spotted newts
No full textAdult Notophthalmus viridescens tend to be site tenacious within ponds and philopatric to their native ponds. In laboratory chambers, newts spent significantly more time moving away from familiar versus unfamiliar individuals from the same pond. They also exhibited significantly more avoidance\u27 or escape\u27 behavior when paired with individuals from a foreign pond than when paired with individuals from the same pond. Red-spotted newts can thus identify individuals with which they are closely associated and distinguish individudals from a foreign pond. -from Author
Post 1990s Dance Theatre and (the idea of) the Neutral
No full textPhDThe thesis focuses on the concept of neutrality in the works of contemporary
European (post 1990s) choreographers. While broad ideas around neutrality are
considered, the thesis primarily engages with Roland Barthes’ definition of
neutrality as a structural term: 'every inflection that, dodging or baffling the
paradigmatic, oppositional structure of meaning, aims at the suspension of the
conflictual basis of discourse'. I argue that the minimalist work of Judson
Church, New York City, is anticipating the interest in the neutral that will more
strongly formulate itself in dance theatre after the 1990s. In the first chapter on
Jérôme Bel, the concept of neutrality is introduced as a general idea, together with
its inherent problem. The 'problem' is not that this or that element that Bel
chooses cannot be perceived as neutral, but that neutral or stage zero can never be
neutral enough. The second chapter, dedicated to the work of Thomas Lehmen,
explores the idea of 'neutralization' in relation to the notion of the self in
Lehmen's performance, where 'It is not I or you who lives: 'one' (une vie) lives in
us' (P. Hallward). In the third chapter I argue that in Raimund Hoghe’s
performances, love is conceived essentially as a balance between narcissism and
pure object-love – as a neutral state. The fourth chapter, on Croatia’s BADco.,
gravitates around the ways in which group processes function, arguing that the
idea of the neutral is located in the ‘invisible hand’ of emergence. The thesis shifts
academic performance analysis towards a more concept-based approach,
unpicking and/or constructing timeless, abstract and broad concepts and ideas that
the work of these choreographers resonates with
Improved genome recovery and integrated cell-size analyses of individual uncultured microbial cells and viral particles
No full text© 2017 The Author(s). Microbial single-cell genomics can be used to provide insights into the metabolic potential, interactions, and evolution of uncultured microorganisms. Here we present WGA-X, a method based on multiple displacement amplification of DNA that utilizes a thermostable mutant of the phi29 polymerase. WGA-X enhances genome recovery from individual microbial cells and viral particles while maintaining ease of use and scalability. The greatest improvements are observed when amplifying high G+C content templates, such as those belonging to the predominant bacteria in agricultural soils. By integrating WGA-X with calibrated index-cell sorting and high-Throughput genomic sequencing, we are able to analyze genomic sequences and cell sizes of hundreds of individual, uncultured bacteria, archaea, protists, and viral particles, obtained directly from marine and soil samples, in a single experiment. This approach may find diverse applications in microbiology and in biomedical and forensic studies of humans and other multicellular organisms
Host and parasite counteradaptations: an example from a freshwater snail.
No full textTrematode infection of pulmonate snails is often associated with increased growth and/or survivorship of snail hosts. The freshwater pulmonate Lymnaea elodes and its trematode parasites are used to test whether this increase is a parasite adaptation, a host adaptation, or a side effect that serves no adaptive function for either participant. Field experiments indicate that trematode parasitism significantly reduces host fecundity and causes a temporary elevation and subsequent reduction in host growth. A 2- yr field survey of the prevalence of trematode infection in 3 snail populations revealed a significant positive relationship between shell size and prevalence. L. elodes does not outlive its trematode infections. Overall, results suggest that increased survivorship in trematode-infected L. elodes is a parasite strategy for providing a stable, long-term resource for the parasite. -from Author
Advising Students for Success in Higher Education: An All-Out Effort
No full text© The Author(s) 2017. Advising students for success in higher education has always been an important and challenging task. This becomes even more critical nowadays as most higher education institutions are trying to boost their enrollment and improve their retention so that they can be self-sufficient financially and sustainable economically. Research studies on student advising in higher education are abundant. A comprehensive literature review, however, shows that these research studies tend to be myopic in scope and quantitative in methodology. In this research, we attempt to depict a holistic view of an all-out effort on advising students for success, by describing practical approaches and collecting relevant narratives at four levels, including university, college, department, and faculty. It is our hope that this research can help people—whether they are school administrators, faculty members, or college students—have a holistic view of student advising and be successful in their role in higher education
