Authoritarianism and the social work student

The researcher began with a fundamental question, i.e., are social work students in any one specialized area more authoritarian than other social work students? A review of related literature revealed group workers to be higher scorers than other social work students on Rokeach's Form D Dogmatism Scale, a measurement of authoritarianism. The Form D Dogmatism Scale was administered to fifty-one undergraduate social work students. Results indicated that social work students were uniformly high in authoritarianism and no significant diminution of this authoritarianism was achieved with any variable, that is, age, sex, or social work specialty.Thesis (M.A.

High dose rate brachytherapy with surface applicators: Treatment for nonmelanomatous skin cancer

15543 Background: To assess the use of HDR surface applicators as an alternative radiotherapy modality to external radiation (electrons or low-energy x-rays) for the treatment of skin lesions of the head and neck. Skin carcinomas require efficient and accurate delivery of HDR Brachytherapy, which can be precisely reproduced on an outpatient basis. Methods: Patients were treated to various sites, which included lesions of the face and scalp. Thermoplastic casts were fitted with Leipzig Surface Applicators and custom molded to the patient to treat squamous or basal cell carcinomas ≤ 2 cm in diameter. A custom surface mold applicator (Freiburg Flap) was used for lesions up to 4 cm. Planning target volume included the tumor plus a 5 mm margin. Biweekly photographs of the treatment volume were taken for documentation and monitoring of radiation reactions. Treatment was delivered by HDR Brachytherapy (Ir-192), 5 Gy per fraction, twice per week for four weeks to a 5 mm depth. TLD’s were placed at the center of the treated volume under the applicator and at critical structures (i.e. lateral canthus of the ipsilateral eye, auditory canal or gingivolabial sulcus) twice during the course of treatment. Results: Patients’ setup and reproducibility were accurate and treatment time was short which added great convenience for the patients. With the HDR surface applicators, dose distribution was uniform in the surface of the skin and at 5 mm depth in the whole area of the applicator. Differences between the areas of maximum and minimum dose at this depth did not reach values higher than 5% of the prescribed dose. At the edges of the applicators, the dose gradient was sharp, with the detected dose at 5 mm from the applicator being negligible. An exudative radiation reaction was noted in some patients, which reversed with appropriate therapy. Conclusion: High Dose Rate Brachytherapy offers a highly effective treatment of skin carcinomas. Surface applicators, used in conjunction with HDR brachytherapy equipment, make a uniform dose distribution and sharp dose gradient at the edge of the treatment field. Surface applicators are easy and safe to use, and they fit very accurately for each fraction. These applicators have the ability to become the standard treatment for skin carcinomas in the near future. No significant financial relationships to disclose. </jats:p
