The Effectiveness of Family Constellation Therapy in Improving Mental Health:A Systematic ReviewPalabras clave(sic)(sic)(sic)

Family/systemic constellation therapy is a short-term group intervention aiming to help clients better understand and then change their conflictive experiences within a social system (e.g., family). The aim of the present systematic review was to synthetize the empirical evidence on the tolerability and effectiveness of this intervention in improving mental health. The PsycINFO, Embase, MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, Psyndex, PsycEXTRA, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, The Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and an intervention-specific organization's databases were searched for quantitative, prospective studies published in English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch or Hungarian up until April 2020. Out of 4,197 identified records, 67 were assessed for eligibility, with 12 studies fulfilling inclusion criteria (10 independent samples; altogether 568 participants). Outcome variables were diverse ranging from positive self-image through psychopathology to perceived quality of family relationships. Out of the 12 studies, nine showed statistically significant improvement postintervention. The studies showing no significant treatment benefit were of lower methodological quality. The random-effect meta-analysis-conducted on five studies in relation to general psychopathology-indicated a moderate effect (Hedges' g of 0.531, CI: 0.387-0.676). Authors of seven studies also investigated potential iatrogenic effects and four studies reported minor or moderate negative effects in a small proportion (5-8%) of participants that potentially could have been linked to the intervention. The data accumulated to date point into the direction that family constellation therapy is an effective intervention with significant mental health benefits in the general population; however, the quantity and overall quality of the evidence is low

Fossils from the Silesian-Subsilesian series of the Polish Western Carpathians : the implications for changes in sea-level and the marine environment during the Albian-Turonian

Fossils and exotics from the Albian-Cenomanian deposits of the Western Polish Carpathians are discussed in relation with changes in depositional environments. Environmental conditions were controlled by geotectonic activity, sea-level changes and also anoxic and biotic events. During the Albian-the Early Cenomanian, and in the Turonian the fall in sea level led to increased supply of coarse-grained material rich in siliceous and sometimes calcareous bioclasts and exotics. This cyclic process has contributed to changes in the marine biota. In the Albian monogenic foraminiferal assemblages with the surficial epifauna corresponding to the organic influx and oxygen deficiency (OAE 1b) were evolved into more variable associations including deep infauna, which indicated more aerobic conditions. Under these conditions also preserved planktonic and calcareous benthic fossils, which indicated the supply of terrigenous material from shallow-water environments and land. During the Albian-Turonian transition intensive subsidence and volcanic activity associated with eustatic sea-level rise led to intensive production of phytoplankton. The sea-surface productivity and enhanced upwelling resulted in expanded short-term oxygen minima at the end of the Albian (OAE 1d) and the Cenomanian (OAE 2). In the latter interval benthic forms almost extinct while siliceous and calcareous plankton survived. In the Turonian changes in sea-level and sedimentary regime led to recolonization of the basin bottom

Integrated biostratigraphy of carbonate deposits of the Cieszyn Beds in the Polish Western Carpathians

W pracy przedstawiono charakterystykę stratygraficzną dolnych łupków i wapieni cieszyńskich w oparciu o zróżnicowane spektrum mikroskamieniałości. Rozmieszczenie i migracja tych mikroorganizmów do basenu cieszyńskiego, usytuowanego na południowej krawędzi Platformy Zachodnioeuropejskiej, były określone jego geotektoniczną transformacją. Pozycję niefliszowych, węglanowych utworów basenu (dolne łupki cieszyńskie i dolna część wapieni cieszyńskich) określają zespoły tytońskich mikroskamieniałości z pojedynczymi elementami późnego kimerydu. Natomiast sedymentacja węglanowych turbiditów (wyższa część wapieni cieszyńskich) miała miejsce głównie w okresie berias - walanżyn z prawdopodobną kontynuacją do (?późnego) hoterywu.Microfossils from the Tithonian-(?Late) Hauterivian carbonate deposits of the Cieszyn Beds (Lower Cieszyn Shales and Cieszyn Limestones) are reviewed. The distribution and migration of microorganisms into the Carpathian (Cieszyn) Basin were determined by geotectonic transformation of the Cieszyn Basin situated on the southern margin of the Western European Platform. The age of the nonflysch carbonate deposition in the Cieszyn basin (Lower Cieszyn Shales, and lower part of the Cieszyn Limestones) is documented by Tithonian calcareous microfossils accompanied by Late Kimmeridgian elements whereas the development of carbonate turbidite deposition in the Beriassian - Valanginian time (Cieszyn Limestones), probably continued up to the (?Late) Hauterivian

Специализированный измерительно-информационный преобразователь

In this paper the simple model of measure-informative transformer is presented. It is destinated to discriminating of two causes of symptoms in low urinary tracts: benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PC). The inputs of this transformer are results of physical investigations (laboratory investigations, measurements of pressures, flow, etc.) as well as information about patient in digital form (subordinated suitable numerical scales). Outputs are described in the form of studied symptoms. Probability of occurrence of given cause is the result of processing.Надана проста модель вимірювально-інформаційного перетворювача, який призначений для визначення двох причин симптомів сечовивідних путей: доброякісної гіперплазії та рака простати.Предложена простая модель измерительно-информационного преобразователя, предназначенного для определения двух причин симптомов мочевыводящих путей: доброкачественной гиперплазии и рака простаты
