OBJECTIVE Although current evidence suggests that the positive effects of multisystemic therapy (MST) on serious crime reach as far as young adulthood, the longer term impact of MST on criminal and noncriminal outcomes in midlife has not been evaluated. In the present study, the authors examined a broad range of criminal and civil court outcomes for serious and violent juvenile offenders who pa...

BACKGROUND One of the major health policy issues, in the both developed and developing countries, is the equality in the distribution of health resources. The aim of this study was to investigate the disparity in the distribution of health physical resources across the provinces of Iran in 2001 and 2011. METHODS This was a cross-sectional retrospective study which investigated inequality in t...

In this study, the authors examined the long-term criminal activity of 176 youths who had participated in either multisystemic therapy (MST) or individual therapy (IT) in a randomized clinical trial (C. M. Borduin et al., 1995). Arrest and incarceration data were obtained on average 13.7 (range = 10.2-15.9) years later when participants were on average 28.8 years old. Results show that MST part...

other employees. We also feel that these should be picked for their neatness, mental alertness, physical condition, age, and conscientious dependability. Much also depends upon the type of patient, his mental capacity, alertness, intelligence and his cooperation. Conceding this, we feel that incidence of infection with modified contagious technique is no greater and possibly even less than in t...

It has been a long-standing problem in $N$-electron systems as to how solve the Dyson equation with quasiparticle wave functions defined $\ensuremath{\langle}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Psi}}}_{0}^{N}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}|\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\ensuremath{\psi}}_{s}(\mathbit{r})\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}|\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Psi...

While much research has investigated the association between personality and health, little research has done so using a bereaved sample. Additionally, little research has investigated how personality influences the frequency of negative social exchanges bereaved individuals receive. This study utilized a structural equation model to investigate the associations among age, gender, personality, ...

Ancient Eastern thought posited the ontological integration of the "mind-body world". The body-mind syncretism was a foundational precept in Eastern philosophy in which "Gih" ("Qi") was considered the basic entity of the universe and the human being. This study attempts to build a meta-theory and to demonstrate empirical designs for Gih, discussing the problems of the mind and body, or the subj...

Two cosmological models with non-phantom matter having the same expansion of the universe as phantom cosmologies are constructed. The first model is characterized by the evolving gravitational “constant” G and a dark energy component with a non-conserved energy-momentum tensor. The second model includes two interacting components, the dark energy component and the matter component. Closed form ...

An analysis with a transferred hyperfine field has been performed on the spectra of $^{115}\mathrm{In}$ nuclear quadrupole resonance experiments heavy fermion superconductor ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{3}{\mathrm{PtIn}}_{11}$ exhibiting co-occurrence two successive antiferromagnetic orderings (${T}_{\mathrm{N}1}$ = 2.2 K and ${T}_{\mathrm{N}2}$ 2.0 K) followed by superconducting transition (${T}_{\mathrm{c...
