Traits of irrational beliefs related to eating problems in Japanese college women

This study focused on the relation of irrational beliefs and Body Mass Index(BMI) to inappropriate eating attitudes in Japanese college women. A total of 110 nonclinical subjects completed the Japanese Irrational Belief Test (JIBT) and the Japanese version of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT). The JIBT subscale of ‘self expectation’ had significant positive correlations with the EAT total score and the subscales of ‘obsession with eating’,‘dieting’ and ‘obese-phobia’. The JIBT subscale of ‘dependence’ had a significant positive correlation with the EAT subscale of ‘obsession with eating’. BMI score showed significant positive correlations with the EAT total score and the subscales of ‘dieting’ and ‘obesephobia’.The present results suggest that characteristic irrational beliefs are associated with inappropriate eating attitudes, suggesting that clarifying and then modifying their rationality may be a useful method of preventive intervention in nonclinical young women with eating problems

コウイ ショウガイ : ショウレイ ト コウサツ

Conduct disorder is characterized by repeated and continual antisocial behavior by children and adolescents. In this article we report a patient of this disorder who was referred to our hospital for psychiatric evaluation and briefly summarize the present understanding of the cause, treatment and prognosis of this disorder. The cause of conduct disorder consists of three major factors ; biological, environmental and mental factors. Conduct disorder may have a relation to attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD). Children with AD/HD tend to develop oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder in adolescents stage and then antisocial personality in adult stage. It is often difficult to improve symptoms of conduct disorder only with psychological treatment. Pharmacological treatment must be considered in some cases to ameliorate impulsiveness and aggression that may have organic origin. Early psychiatric intervention may be helpful in the treatment of conduct disorder

Variational Monte Carlo Study of a Spinless Fermion t-V Model on a Triangular Lattice: Formation of a Pinball Liquid

We analyze a model of spinless fermions on a triangular lattice at half-filling interacting via strong nearest-neighbor repulsive interactions, V, using the variational Monte Carlo simulation technique. The existence of three-sublattice long-range order is confirmed by the finite-size scaling analysis of the charge structural factor at V_c/t > 12. This ordered phase shows characteristics expected for a so called "pinball liquid" state, which has the spontaneous separation of fermionic degrees of freedom into coexisting Wigner crystal-like charge order (pin) and a metal (ball). The pins are fixed in order to maximize the kinetic energy gain of balls which move almost freely. The Fermi surface is reconstructed at V=V_c and remains towards the strong coupling limit. These features reminiscent of the strong correlation together with the large value of V_c/t distinguishes the pinball liquid from the conventional charge-density-wave.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure

Spectral analysis for intrinsic time processes

This paper discusses an estimation procedure for the spectral density of intrinsic time processes because there has been no argument of the spectral analysis for subordinated processes. Such processes have been proposed in a variety of contexts to describe asset price behavior. They are used when the movement of prices is tied to the number of market transactions, trading volume or the more illusive concept of information arrival. We develop the asymptotic theory for an estimated spectral density of intrinsic time processes and elucidate the asymptotics, which show some interesting structures. Also, numerical studies are given to confirm the results.
