Objectives:This study used a quasi-experimental method inthe pretest-posttest to evaluate the efficacy of cognitive-existential group therapy on hopefulness in parents of children with cancer. Methods:Thirty parents (24 to 54 years old) of children with cancer were divided randomly into experimental and control groups. Both groups were assessed with Miller Hope Scale (1988), as pre-test. The...

For any non negative real values h and k, an L(h, k)-labeling of a graph G = (V,E) is a function L : V → IR such that |L(u)− L(v)| ≥ h if (u, v) ∈ E and |L(u)− L(v)| ≥ k if there exists w ∈ V such that (u,w) ∈ E and (w, v) ∈ E. The span of an L(h, k)-labeling is the difference between the largest and the smallest value of L, so it is not restrictive to assume 0 as the smallest value of L. We de...

Abstract interpretation is an excellent tool for designing complete dataflow analyses [6]. Existential quantification is an excellent tool for designing precise dataflow analyses. However, these two tools are difficult to combine. Abstract interpretation requires algorithms for deciding subtypes and constructing joins. This is problematic for existential quantification because simply subtyping ...

This paper proposes an analysis of a relatively under described existential construction in Tagalog. This construction at first glance appears to embed a relative clause under the existential predicate. However, it differs from this type of existential in two crucial respects. The complement of the existential verb allows extraction, demonstrating that it is not a DP. Additionally, rather asser...
