Uncovering the Intricacies of the Clinical Intake Assessment: How Clinicians Prioritize Information in Complex Contexts

Objective: Based on a single intake interview, mental health clinicians must distill their assessment to brief statements reflecting essential information. We explored how clinicians organize and prioritize the clinical information they collect during the initial assessment of their clients. Method: We conducted in-depth semistructured interviews with a convenience sample of 38 clinicians in four community-and hospital-based mental health clinics in Israel. Clinicians were interviewed immediately following an intake session with 117 clients and were asked about the client’s main problem, evaluation process, rapport with the client, and role of sociocultural factors in assessment. We identified primary themes across interviews. Results: Clinicians prioritized a psychiatric diagnosis based on DSM-5 categories, followed by psychological processes and family and social relationships. Less than a third of clinicians (29.1%) viewed sociocultural and socioeconomic factors as important in discerning expressions of distress. Conclusions: Our findings raise questions about how the structured expectation of diagnosis may influence how clinicians gather and prioritize information

Measuring the Kondo effect in the Aharonov-Bohm interferometer

The conductance ${\cal G}$ of an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer (ABI), with a strongly correlated quantum dot on one arm, is expressed in terms of the dot Green function, $G_{dd}$, the magnetic flux $\phi$ and the non-interacting parameters of the ABI. We show that one can extract $G_{dd}$ from the observed oscillations of ${\cal G}$ with $\phi$, for both closed and open ABI's. In the latter case, the phase shift $\beta$ deduced from ${\cal G} \approx A+B\cos(\phi+\beta)$ depends strongly on the ABI's parameters, and usually $\beta \ne \pi/2$. These parameters may also reduce the Kondo temperature, eliminating the Kondo behavior

Spin filtering by a periodic nanospintronic devices

For a linear chain of diamond-like elements, we show that the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (which can be tuned by a perpendicular gate voltage) and the Aharonov-Bohm flux (due to a perpendicular magnetic field) can combine to select only one propagating ballistic mode, for which the electronic spins are fully polarized along a direction that can be tuned by the electric and magnetic fields and by the electron energy. All the other modes are evanescent. For a wide range of parameters, this chain can serve as a spin filter.Comment: Published versio

Epistaksis Di Poliklinik Tht-kl Blu Rsup Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Periode Januari 2010-desember 2012

: Epistaxis is bleeding from the nose. Epistaxis may be caused by local or systemic factors. Local factors can be caused by chronic sinusitis, foreign bodies, irritants, and trauma. Systemic factors can be caused by hypertension, leukemia, liver cirrhosis, or drugs (Anti Inflammatory Drugs). There are two sources of bleeding in epistaxis, anterior part sourced from Kiesselbach plexus, posterior part sourced from sphenopalatine artery and posterior ethmoidal artery. This study is a descriptive observational study. The purpose of this study was to determine epistaxis in Department of Otolaryngology Prof. DR. R.D. Kandou General Hospital of Manado. The result of this study found 1048 cases of epistaxis from 12.981 visitors during January 2010 – December 2012. The incidence of patients with epistaxis 8,07%. The incidence in male is higher than female. Patients with epistaxis more common in the age groop 25-44 years. The most common cause of epistaxis is by systemic cause (58,49%)

Thermoelectric three-terminal hopping transport through one-dimensional nanosystems

A two-site nanostructure (e.g, a "molecule") bridging two conducting leads and connected to a phonon bath is considered. The two relevant levels closest to the Fermi energy are connected each to its lead. The leads have slightly different temperatures and chemical potentials and the nanos- tructure is also coupled to a thermal (third) phonon bath. The 3 x 3 linear transport ("Onsager") matrix is evaluated, along with the ensuing new figure of merit, and found to be very favorable for thermoelectric energy conversion.Comment: Accepted by Phys.

Effect of Inversion Symmetry on the Incommensurate Order in Multiferoic \u3cem\u3eR\u3c/em\u3eMn\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3eO\u3csub\u3e5\u3c/sub\u3e (\u3cem\u3eR\u3c/em\u3e = Rare Earth)

Starting from the irreducible representations of the group of the wave vector, we construct the spin-wave functions consistent with inversion symmetry, neglected in the usual representation analysis. We obtain the relation between the basis functions of different members of the star of the wave vector. We introduce order parameters and determine their transformation properties under the operations of the space group of the paramagnetic crystal. The results are applied to construct terms in the magnetoelectric interaction, which are quadratic and quartic in the magnetic order parameters. The higher-order magnetoelectric interactions can in principle induce components of the spontaneous polarization, which are not allowed by the lowest-order magnetoelectric interaction. We also obtain the relation between the spin-wave functions of the incommensurate phase and those of the commensurate phase, which lead to analogous relations between the order parameters of these two phases
