Clinical and clinical-psychological profiles of somatized depressions

A comparative analysis of depressions with or without somatoform disorders in their structure was conducted. The most significant predictors of formation of internal aspect of the disease for patients of border psych ward are reviewed. The most common types of disease reactions regardless of the intensity of somatization of the depression are determined. Accounting of these data has substantial significance in choosing approaches to psychotherapeutics and rehabilitation of the patients with somatized depression

Interstellar polarization and grain alignment: the role of iron and silicon

We compiled the polarimetric data for a sample of lines of sight with known abundances of Mg, Si, and Fe. We correlated the degree of interstellar polarization $P$ and polarization efficiency (the ratio of $P$ to the colour excess $E(B-V)$ or extinction $A_V$) with dust phase abundances. We detect an anticorrelation between $P$ and the dust phase abundance of iron in non silicate - containing grains ]_\rm d, a correlation between $P$ and the abundance of Si, and no correlation between $P/E(B-V)$ or $P/A_V$ and dust phase abundances. These findings can be explained if mainly the silicate grains aligned by the radiative mechanism are responsible for the observed interstellar linear polarization.Comment: Accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysic
