Adult-Child Sexual Contact: Examining Mental Health Trainees’ Perception of the Impact on Adult Psychological-Emotional Status
Thirty-eight graduate students enrolled in mental health-related programs completed the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) indicating anticipated impact of adult-child sexual contact on the psychological status of a young adult woman from positive family environment and one from a negative family environment. BSI subscale scores were significantly higher than the BSI general population’s mean scores in both cases. Multiple regression analyses found that: in the healthy family scenario, practitioners’ background variables (parent education, family of origin climate, prior childhood sexual contact with an adult, and education) did not contribute significantly to the variance in their prediction of expectation of client’s overall psychological distress; and, in the dysfunctional family case, practitioners’ background (childhood experience with adult sexual contact, education level, and professional experience) contributed to 40% of the variance in their prediction of the client’s emotional state. Results of qualitative analyses are presented, and implications for training and service delivery discussed
Scenarios and enhanced, strategies, Case study The Hague Region, the Netherlands
In the PLUREL Analysis report on The Hague Region (Aalbers et al 2009), the region is described with respect to history, landuse, planning context, actors and their strategies regarding developments in the urban fringe. Three strategies are described in more depth. In the current phase of the research, these strategies are assessed with respect to their performance in governance
Nursing Personnel Employment Patterns in Iowa’s Health Care Facilities
The purpose of this study was to determine the current and projected staffing patterns for nursing personnel in Iowa’s hospitals and long term care facilities. Questionnaires were mailed to all hospitals and long term care facilities licensed in Iowa. Current information about employment trends for licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, nurse aides/orderlies, and medication aides was obtained to serve as a basis for planning and to provide current information to counselors, potential students, and the public. The findings of this study are in agreement with the Report of the 1986 National Hospital Nursing Supply Survey as well as other recent reports that reveal our health care delivery system again faces a shortage of nursing personnel
On Principal Admissible Representations and Conformal Field Theory
The principal admissible representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras are
studied, with a view to their use in conformal field theory. We discuss the
generation of the set of principal admissible highest weights, concentrating
mainly on at rational level . A related algorithm is described
that produces the Malikov-Feigen-Fuchs null vectors of these representations.
With the principal admissible description of the highest weights, we are able
to prove that field identifications (including maverick ones) lead to the
canonical description of the primary fields of the nonunitary diagonal coset
theories.Comment: Harvmac (b mode : 32 p; l mode: 36 p), 5 figures, some minor

Anisotropic flows from colour strings: Monte-Carlo simulations
By direct Monte-Carlo simulations it is shown that the anisotropic flows can
be successfully described in the colour string picture with fusion and
percolation provided anisotropy of particle emission from the fused string is
taken into account. Quenching of produced particles in the strong colour field
of the string is the basic mechanism for this anisotropy. The concrete
realization of this mechanism is borrowed from the QED. Due to dependence of
this mechanism on the external field strength the found flows grow with energy,
with values for at LHC energies greater by ~15% than at RHIC energies.Comment: New version with a non-static distribution of string
Fusion in coset CFT from admissible singular-vector decoupling
Fusion rules for Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models at fractional level can be
defined in two ways, with distinct results. The Verlinde formula yields fusion
coefficients that can be negative. These signs cancel in coset fusion rules,
however. On the other hand, the fusion coefficients calculated from decoupling
of singular vectors are non-negative. They produce incorrect coset fusion
rules, however, when factorisation is assumed. Here we give two prescriptions
that yield the correct coset fusion rules from those found for the WZW models
by the decoupling method. We restrict to the Virasoro minimal models for
simplicity, and because decoupling results are only complete in the \su(2)
case.Comment: 22 pages, harvma
