Background: Demand for treatment for Internet-related troubles in adolescents is rising. The profiles of patients in a clinical population are not accurately known and we hypothesize motivation could be useful for characterization. We describe a sample of outpatients, differentiate between two groups based on their motivation, and describe the clinical differences found between them. Methods: O...

We say that point x ∈ R2 is sheltered by a continuum S ⊂ R2 if x does not belong to the unbounded component of R2 \ S. Suppose that points a and b are the endpoints of each of three arcs A0, A1 and A2 contained in R2. We prove that there is an arc B ⊂ A0 ∪A1 ∪A2 with its endpoints a and b such that each point of B is sheltered by the union of each two of the arcs

BACKGROUND Genesee County Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health Program (REACH) is a Community-Based Public Health partnership for reducing African American infant mortality rates that hosts the Undoing Racism Workshop (URW). OBJECTIVES Assess the URW's effectiveness in promoting an understanding of racism, institutional racism, and how issues related to race/ethnicity can affect m...

SEVEN miles from Aberdeen, on the lovely road to Braemar, lies the Newton Dee Estate, recognised by the Ministry of Labour as a sheltered workshop for the mentally handicapped. There is a fundamental difference between it and most other "sheltered workshops," for it is a social experiment, and all who are there not only share the working life, but live together as a really integrated village co...

Objective: Our home can have a major impact on our physical and mental health; this is particularly true for older people who may spend more time at home. Older people in social (i.e., public) housing are particularly vulnerable. Housing options for older people in social housing include standard design dwellings or specially designed "sheltered housing." The most suitable housing model should ...

Abstract. Articulated holaspid specimens of Placoparia Hawle and Corda, 1847 Eoharpes Raymond, 1905 entombed inside cephalopod conchs under the remains large illaenid, asaphid, cyclopygid dalmanitid trilobites from Middle Ordovician Šárka Formation Prague Basin (Czech Republic) are described discussed. Two such samples were also found in overlying Dobrotivá Middle/Late age. Four articulated juv...

In this study, the velocity field in a naturally ventilated building within an urban-like array was explored using large-eddy simulations. Reduced-scale models were used to examine impacts of geometric conditions surrounding buildings and cross-ventilating windows on flow statistics instantaneous fields sheltered building. The components averaged opening area calculated for each condition array...

INTRODUCTION Unsheltered homelessness is an important phenomenon yet difficult to study due to lack of data. The Veterans Health Administration administers a universal homelessness screener, which identifies housing status for Veterans screening positive for homelessness. METHODS This study compared unsheltered and sheltered Veterans, assessed differences in rates of ongoing homelessness, and...

In the event of a single, low-yield nuclear detonation in a major urban area, rapidly providing adequate shelter to affected populations could save 10 000– 100 000 individuals from a fatal exposure to fallout radiation. However, poorly sheltered individuals may remain at risk. Current guidance and prior studies are not consistent as to the timing and conditions under which poorly sheltered indi...
