OBJECTIVE The General Behavior Inventory (GBI) is a questionnaire that has utility in the assessment of mood disorders in adults. The purpose of this study was to examine how the GBI might optimally be used in the assessment of youths. METHOD Children and adolescents between the ages of 5 and 17 years participated in this study. All youths were evaluated with the Schedule for Affective Disord...

OBJECTIVE An assessment of the effect of otolaryngological management on the health-related quality of life of patients. DESIGN Application of the Health Utilities Index mark 3 (HUI-3) before and after treatment; application of the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) after treatment. SETTING Six otolaryngological departments around Scotland. PARTICIPANTS A 9005 adult patients referred to outp...

BACKGROUND Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherent bleeding disorder. Gingival bleeding is a frequently reported symptom of VWD. However, gingival bleeding is also a leading symptom of plaque-induced gingivitis and untreated periodontal disease. In type 1 VWD gingival bleeding was not increased compared to controls. Thus, this study evaluated whether type 2 and 3 VWD determines...

A machine learning technique called Graph-based induction (GBI) ef®ciently extracts typical patterns from graph data by stepwise pair expansion (pairwise chunking). In this paper, we introduce GBI for general graph structured data, which can handle directed/undirected, colored/uncolored graphs with/without (self) loop and with colored/uncolored links. We show that its time complexity is almost ...

This paper investigates connections between algebraic structures that are common in theoretical computer science and algebraic logic. Idempotent semirings are the basis of Kleene algebras, relation algebras, residuated lattices and bunched implication algebras. Extending a result of Chajda and Länger, we show that involutive residuated lattices are determined by a pair of dually isomorphic idem...

This article discusses the comparison between theological concept of religious exclusivism Indonesian Bethel Church (GBI) and political pluralism Miroslav Volf. A comparative study is method used to explore this study. argues that GBI has similarities in Volf's view. These were found both's characters, such as biblical, revelational, visionary. However, view unique compared GBI. will also produ...

This paper provides a new perspective on the green bond market (measured by GBI) and US shale gas price SGPI). The leading method for testing mutual influence between GBI SGPI, bootstrap subsample rolling causality test, is novel application of research in market. results time-varying test indicate that SGPI has both positive negative effects GBI. Based reaction GBI, spike fueled greater demand...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the oral hygiene status in pediatric obese patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from 2011 to 2012, which evaluated 180 Brazilian pediatric patients, 6-14 years old, girls and boys, recruited according to two Body Mass Index (BMI) categories: obese and non-obese (healthy weight). For the evaluation the oral hygiene status, ...

Graph-Based Induction (GBI) extracts typical patterns from graph data by stepwise pair expansion (pairwise chunking). It is very efficient because of its greedy search strategy but at the same time it suffers from the incompleteness of search. Improvement is made on its search capability without imposing much computational complexity by 1) incorporating a beam search, 2) using a different evalu...

The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two manual toothbrushes (conventional and orthodontic). The following clinical parameters were used: VPI (visible plaque index) and GBI (gingival bleeding index). Patients, 64 total (30 males and 34 females), in the permanent dentition, with a mean age of 17.8 years, were randomly selected from a practice specializing in orthodonti...
