Red River Gorge Residents: A Cultural and Historical Perspective
This study investigates the relationship between the remaining residents of Appalachian Eastern Kentucky\u27s Red River Gorge area and their environment with special emphasis on the historical and current social factors that play a role in their refusal to vacate the area. For two decades, these people have faced the possibility of losing their land and homes to area development projects while they have simultaneously become aware of what it can mean to be labeled Appalachian . Currently, they are contending with the implications of a management plan proposed by the United States Forest Service. Cross-cultural research on areas developed as recreational arenas indicates that the residents as a whole stand only to lose in such situations. The optimum solution from the perspective of the people along the Red River is to be left alone, but this is not going to happen as the popularity of the Gorge has steadily grown over the past years and as the Forest Service has greatly increased its holdings. Appropriate planning to reduce the losses of the locals who view their land as irreplaceable is suggested as a primary consideration in this area and in others where recreational development is planned
Molecular Characterization of Nepali Potato Cultivars Using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (Rapd) Markers
Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to study the genetic diversity of four local cultivars of potato. Amplification with ten arbitrary decamer primers produced 29 different marker bands of which 69.0% were polymorphic. The size range of the amplified DNAs ranged between 370 bp and 2500 bp. On average, 17.5 alleles per genotype were amplified using the RAPD primers. With the selected primers sufficient polymorphism could be detected to allow identification of individual genotypes. A dendrogram displaying the relative genetic similarities between the genotypes showed a range of 55.2-69.0% similarity
Cognitive group therapy for depressive students: The case study
The aims of this study were to assess whether a course of cognitive group therapy could help depressed students and to assess whether assimilation analysis offers a useful way of analysing students' progress through therapy. “Johanna” was a patient in a group that was designed for depressive students who had difficulties with their studies. The assimilation of Johanna's problematic experience progressed as the meetings continued from level one (unpleasant thoughts) to level six (solving the problem). Johanna's problematic experience manifested itself as severe and excessive criticism towards herself and her study performance. As the group meetings progressed, Johanna found a new kind of tolerance that increased her determination and assertiveness regarding the studies. The dialogical structure of Johanna's problematic experience changed: she found hope and she was more assertive after the process. The results indicated that this kind of psycho-educational group therapy was an effective method for treating depression. The assimilation analysis offered a useful way of analysing the therapy process
