There has been an increase in complaints of backache amongst oarsmen recently. It is suggested that backache is related to the training programme and the modern style of rowing and that the rotational forces of rowing are responsible for the symptoms. An approach to the management of the problem is ...

An individual's identification of his retirement situation does not necessarily coincide with the retirement concept as defined by objective measures. Self-evaluation of retirement status by respondents to the Retirement History Study has been analyzed to discover to what extent their subjective assessment of retirement matched the situation predicted by objective ...

The detection and description of the evoked cardiac response (ECR) has received much attention in recent literature, with an increasing concentration upon the 'noise' problem of sinus arrhythmia (SA). A departure from extrapolated pre-stimulus activity, obtained by employing procedures of various complexities, has been proposed as an SA-free measure of ...

The problems of the terminally ill are treated frequently in plays and books today. With workers in the United States enjoying greater longevity and with medicine's ability to prolong lives after serious illnesses, human resources people and managers will be confronting this problem, too. In addition to behaving in a ...

In this study the authors analyse the asymptotic distribution of estimated a posteriori Wiener filtering of averaged evoked responses and the problem of the existence and convergence of moments of the estimated filter and the filtered signal. The authors concluded that the only justification of a posteriori Wiener filtering lies ...

Measured electrodermal responses (EDR), in the form of changes in skin conductivity, during administration of a calibration questionnaire (CQ) and a personal history questionnaire (PHQ) to each of 25 Ss. "Strong" changes were defined statistically for each S from the amplitudes of EDR evoked by the CQ. The free-floating anxiety ...

In a study of the properties of hearing aids with loop induction coils, it was observed that a group of high-powered aids used primarily for their extended low frequency responses had poor low frequency responses when used on loop input. The consequences of these characteristics are discussed. To asisst in ...

Blood banking usually is considered to be clearly divided into two opposing philosphies concerning volunteer donor recruitment. On one side is the "community responsibility" theory. On the other side is the "individual responsibility" theory. This paper will show that both systems have problems and that in practice neither is "pure." ...

An instrumental escape conditioning paradigm was used to test the drive reducing effects of the recommendation in a threatening communication. Analogies were drawn between threatening communications and conditioning. Instrumental response speed was a monotonic decreasing function of delay of reinforcement: 0, 2, 6 sec (p less than .001). Each of ...

The sociocultural structure of contemporary urban heroin-using communities is delineated using the dimensions "being hooked," "scoring," and "hustling" on "the street." A concentric ring model is constructed with four rings: (innermost) the street dealing network, other criminal hustles, employed addicts, and a peripheral "recruitment" area (outermost). The model is used ...

Two pairs of high-school students matched-to-sample for money. On each trial, a subject could either respond on one lever to take the matching-to-sample problem himself (taking response) or respond on a second lever to give the problem to his coactor (giving response). The first subject to complete the response requirement ...

Another approach was indicated for understanding the intellectual functioning of the person considered to be retarded from the viewpoint of measured intelligence. Rather than utilizing the standard, usually academically-oriented, test, the inkblot method was used to differentiate how the individual deals with familiar and unfamiliar problems. The emphasis was not ...

Physiological responses of 48 subjects were studied during both a warning and a nonwarning condition and during anagram problem solving. The warning condition was associated with heart rate deceleration and increased occurrence of galvanic skin responses (GSR), of skin conductance, and of tonic galvanic skin potentials (GSP). The warning condition ...

The initial objective was to determine whether an increase in cooperative responses (minimal cooperation) was also accompanied by an increase in the degree of correspondence in the number of reinforcers of the two subjects (maximal cooperation). Correct matching-to-sample responses of seven pairs of male adolescents were reinforced with money. On ...

In a community survey based on the Cardiff electoral register a sample of 737 adults were questioned about what they would do in certain illness situations. The 20 hypothetical situations varied in terms of the age of the patient and the severity and seriousness of the illness. People were asked ...

To ensure an efficient and effective response to disaster situations, communities must be prepared at all levels. A disaster presents problems that go beyond the scope of major incident preparedness and requires a response that utilizes all of the available resources that a community may posses, as well as assistance ...

This article discusses the role and responsibilities of the registered nurse in providing first aid in challenging environments, such as crowded nightclubs. Basic assistance for common emergencies, including substance misuse, wounds, choking and anaphylaxis, are discussed. This article emphasises the importance of risk assessment and reminds readers of the need ...

This article, the first in an eight-part series, discusses the importance of a considered, responsible approach to first aid. The article describes the challenges of working outside one's clinical environment and describes the legal background to undertaking first aid.

Serological response to cholera revaccination has been studied in a semi-closed community consisting of individuals mostly in the 2-20-years age-group. The subjects had been inoculated against cholera every year at the beginning of the local epidemic season. Pre- and post-vaccination sera were obtained from 29 subjects inoculated with cholera vaccine ...

The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effects on performance rate of simply writing the answers to mathematics problems versus verbalizing the problems before making a written response. The subject was an 11-yr-old boy whose response accuracy on mathematics problems was very erratic. Three experiments were conducted, each ...
