A group of 200 psychiatric patients, 129 women and 71 men, were given recommendations by a four-person staff of their receiving psychodynamic therapy (PDT; 47 women, 17 men), cognitive psychotherapy (CPT; 19 women, 5 men) or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT; 34 women, 20 men), or of their having no psychotherapy (NPT; 29 women, 29 men). The staff knew the ICD-10 diagnoses but made its judgments p

This paper describes how attribute grammars can be used to generate state diagrams from a program written in a simple transition language and then drawn using a graph drawing tool. We use an extended form of attribute grammars, RAGs, which permits attributes to be references to nodes in the syntax tree. The directed graph defined by the program is constructed in the AST by linking together nodes v

OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which Doppler ultrasound examination contributes to a correct specific diagnosis of a pelvic mass when the preliminary diagnosis is based on subjective evaluation of the gray-scale ultrasound image (pattern recognition). METHODS: In 173 consecutive cases, women scheduled for surgery because of a pelvic mass judged clinically to be of adnexal origin underwent p

The protonation status of key residues and bound ligands are often important for the function of a protein. Unfortunately, protons are not discerned in normal protein crystal structures, so their positions have to be determined by more indirect methods. We show that the recently developed quantum refinement method can be used to determine the position of protons in crystal structures. By replacing

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar den kristna minoriteten Old Order Amish i USA ur ett ecklesiologiskt perspektiv. Genom att dels använda centrala begrepp som utgår från den undersökta gruppens egen religiösa vokabulär, dels några av de angreppssätt som är förhärskande inom det kyrkovetenskapliga studiet, framträder en fördjupad bild av amishfolkets insida. Hur uppfattar amish siThe thesis focuses on the way the Amish view their life and actions as Christians. With its basis in first-hand observations from the settlements of Dover (DE) and Lancaster (PA) the inquiry describes, analyzes and interprets the ecclesiastical life of the Old Order Amish from an ecclesiological viewpoint. Utilizing a specific model of analysis the dissertation examines the institutions (church/f

OBJECTIVE:To identify variables associated with rejection of synthetic, suburethral slings used for female stress urinary incontinence.METHODS:Between 1991 and 1998, gynecologists at our department performed 428 operations for stress urinary incontinence by inserting expanded polytetrafluoroethylene or polyethylene suburethral slings. After suitable exclusions, 386 women followed for at least 24 m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många tolkningar och användningsområden har av olika forskare föreslagits för det gammaltestamentliga offret shelamin. Detta offer hade också en oklar plats i den israelitiska kulturen. Avsaknaden av konsensus och misslyckandet med att nå fram till en tillfredsställande lösning på gåtan gör shelamim till ett intressant offer att undersöka med hjälp av modern ritualforskFor the sacrifice shelamim in the Hebrew Bible, scholars have suggested a number of different interpretations and uses. This sacrifice also had an ambiguous role in Israelite culture. Lack of a general consensus and the failure to reach a satisfying solution makes the shelamim a puzzle and an interesting sacrifice to investigate with insights gained from modern ritual studies. In this study, it i

This paper reviews the factors influencing the development and sustained operation of regional industrial symbiosis (IS) networks and discusses the roles a coordination body can play to alter these factors so as to catalyse the development and functioning of such networks. These are analysed within the context of experiences gained in the early stages of three regional IS programmes under developm

High efficiency, environmental friendliness, low operation and maintenance costs, and the lowest possible impact on the environment are some of the requirements of sustainable energy production. In the selection of new power generation systems, a number of steps have to be taken into account in order to meet these requirements. Here, the first law analysis has been implemented and investigated, fo

Individuals with a dismissing-avoidant pattern of attachment are assumed to repress anxiety-related signals, a disposition hypothesized to interfere with facial mimicry and emotional contagion. Further, they are assumed to have one internal working model associated with anxiety, operating out of awareness at early, automatic stages of information processing, and another positive model operating at

A five-cylinder diesel engine, converted to a single cylinder operated optical engine is run in Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) mode. A blend of iso-octane and n-heptane is used as fuel. An experimental study of the horizontal boundary layer between the main combustion and the non-reacting surface of the combustion chamber is conducted as a function of speed, load, swirl and inject

Disorders of the central nervous system are a major concern in modern human societies. Studies of these disorders require the use of suitable model systems that accurately reproduce the human situation. In this article we focus on the possibilities of using the human NT-2 teratocarcinoma cell line for studies on neuronal differentiation, cellular function and neurodegeneration. Neurons generated f

Studies of apparently homogeneous cell populations and single cells often give highly divergent results. Cells exhibit varying responsiveness to stimuli and gene expression and they are in many aspects stochastic and unpredictable. We have developed a method to measure gene expression quantitatively in individual cells with real-time RT-PCR. mRNA for hormones, ion channels and enzymes in pancreat
