I\u27m Nobody\u27s Child

By Kenneth J. Herrmann, Jr.Fictional account of an abused child who, while not a delinquent, struck back through violence. The social workers who knew him were shocked, and the parents moved from the state with their children. The child welfare system which was partially responsible continued its routine work in its own bureaucratic manner. This story is told in order that others might be helped.--from the Introductionhttps://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/bookshelf/1232/thumbnail.jp

Some physical-metallurgical properties of scandium, yttrium

In the continuing effort to learn more about the nature of metals, the rare earth elements in particular, the crystal structures and precision lattice parameters of these metals were investigated. High purity metals were examined by powder, single crystal and back reflection x-ray diffraction techniques. All but four of the back reflection samples were prepared by distillation in high vacuum (approximately 2 x 10-7 mm. mercury). The back reflection examinations, by which very accurate lattice parameters can be determined, were considered necessary if quantitative comparisons of the properties of the rare earths are to be made. Although scandium and yttrium are not classified as rare earths, they were considered similar enough in their behavior to include them in this study

Assessing Capacity in the Elderly: Comparing the MoCA with a Novel Computerized Battery of Executive Function

Background/Aims: Clinicians are increasingly being asked to provide their opinion on the decision-making capacity of older adults, while validated and widely available tools are lacking. We sought to identify an online cognitive screening tool for assessing mental capacity through the measurement of executive function. Methods: A mixed elderly sample of 45 individuals, aged 65 years and older, were screened with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the modified Cambridge Brain Sciences Battery. Results: Two computerized tests from the Cambridge Brain Sciences Battery were shown to provide information over and above that obtained with a standard cognitive screening tool, correctly sorting the majority of individuals with borderline MoCA scores. Conclusions: The brief computerized battery should be used in conjunction with standard tests such as the MoCA in order to differentiate cognitively intact from cognitively impaired older adults
