Tracie Shea, Cynthia L. Battle, Dawn M. Johnson, Caron Zlotnick, Regina Dolan-Sewell, Andrew E. Skodol, Carlos M. Grilo, John G. Gunderson, Charles A. Sanislow, Mary C. Zanarini, Donna S. Bender, Jennifer B. Rettew, Thomas H. Mcglashan

Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.

The association between trauma and personality disorders (PDs), while receiving much attention and debate, has not been comprehensively examined for multiple types of trauma and PDs. The authors examined data from a multisite study of four PD groups: schizotypal, borderline (BPD), avoidant, and obsessive-compulsive, and a major depression comparison group. Rates of traumatic exposure to specific types of trauma, age of first trauma onset, and rates of posttraumatic stress disorder are compared. Results indicate that BPD participants reported the highest rate of traumatic exposure (particularly to sexual traumas, including childhood sexual abuse), the highest rate of posttraumatic stress disorder, and …

Violencia Urbana Y Participación Ciudadana, Fernando Barrientos Del Monte

Fernando Barrientos Del Monte

En la Ciudad de México, el ascenso de la delincuencia y el temor al delito han originado en la ciudadanía formas defensivas diversas. Se emplean nuevas tecnologías en sofisticados y modernos sistemas de vigilancia como circuitos cerrados de video, sistemas satelitales, alarmas, etc. Empero, gran parte de la sociedad que se sirve de estos sistemas les atribuye un valor extra funcional, es decir, se crea una idea falsa de seguridad. A medida que se desarrolla este tipo de industria, la ciudadanía se expone a riesgos crecientes, pues para vulnerar tales sistemas, las redes delictivas se profesionalizan y se tornan cada …

Changes In Cell Wall Constituents And Mechanical Properties During Post-Harvest Hardening Of Trifoliate Yam Dioscorea Dumetorum (Kunth) Pax Tubers, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Samuel Sefa-Dedeh

Professor Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa

In an attempt to investigate the changes leading to the rapid post-harvest hardening of the white cultivars of Dioscorea dumetorum tubers, alterations in the plant cell wall constituents and mechanical properties of the tubers were monitored. A 4x2 factorial experiment with storage time (0, 24, 48 and 72 h) and storage conditions [cold room (4 _C, 85–100% RH) and tropical ambient (28 _C, 62–100% RH)] as variables were performed. Harvested tubers were stored for 24, 48 and 72 h under 4 and 28 _C. Changes in mechanical properties, acid and neutral detergent fibres, lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose contents were monitored. …

Economic Evaluation Of Cropshare And Cash Lease Contracts In South Dakota And Nebraska, Larry Janssen, John Cole, Xuan Xu, Bruce Johnson

Department of Agricultural Economics: Presentations, Working Papers, and Gray Literature

Factors influencing choice of share or cash rental leases for cropland are examined using a 1996 dataset containing 1071 lease contracts in Nebraska and in South Dakota. Logistic regression results indicate tenant’s age, capital position, and relationship with landlord were more important than leased land use or crop management variables.

Blowing Hot And Cold: Carbon And The Question Of Climate Change, Gary D. Lynne

Cornhusker Economics

The title is borrowed in part from a section in the recent “Survey of the Global Environment” published in The Economist, an economically conservative magazine that also asks more broadly “How Many Planets?” will it take to support a world-wide economy like that in the U.S.A. (see Vaitheeswaran). The answer is: It would take 3-planet earths, which is perhaps the main reason the United Nations, with both private (e.g., the Ford Foundation) and public financial support, is sponsoring the World Summit on Sustainable Development in South Africa this fall. According to the following website, upwards of 60,000 individuals will be …

The demining pair were clearing a lane as a team with one doing the detection and the other clearing the vegetation. The pair had just changed around after detection. The victim moved to the top of the clearance lane to re-position the red string lines and begin clearing vegetation and spoil from the next part of the lane prior to detection. As the victim bent down to position the stakes with the red string attached, he stood on a mine with his left foot on the cleared left hand side of the lane. When the mine exploded, the victim’s partner …
