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 of an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer (ABI), with a
strongly correlated quantum dot on one arm, is expressed in terms of the dot
Green function, , the magnetic flux and the non-interacting
parameters of the ABI. We show that one can extract from the observed
oscillations of with , for both closed and open ABI's. In the
latter case, the phase shift deduced from depends strongly on the ABI's parameters, and usually
. These parameters may also reduce the Kondo temperature,
eliminating the Kondo behavior

Keefektifan Pemodelan Sebaya (Peer Modeling) untuk Mengurangi Perilaku Prokrastinasi Akademik Siswa Smk
The purpose of this research to know the effectiveness of peer modeling (peer modeling) to reduce students\u27 academic procrastination behavior. This research use design a one-group pretest-posttest design. The results showed that academic procrastination behavior decreased effective in the application of techniques interventions peer modeling (peer modeling). Then the reduced effective behavior procrastination academic in the application of techniques intervention peer modeling.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui keefektifan pemodelan sebaya (peer modeling) untuk mengurangi perilaku prokrastinasi akademik siswa.

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%)
Cardiovascular diseases or type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic airway diseases: mutual pharmacological interferences
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. Rev.
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
