In this paper a solution for a static spherically symmetric body is thoroughly considered in the framework of the Relativistic Theory of Gravitation. By the comparison of this solution with the Schwarzschild solution in General Relativity their substantial difference is established in the region close to the Schwarzschild sphere. Just this difference excludes the possibility of collapse to form...

We study numerically the gravitational field of a star made of massive and neutral string states for the case in which the dilaton is massive. The solution exhibits very simple scaling properties in the dilaton mass. There is no horizon and the singularity is surrounded by a halo (the physical size of which is inversely proportional to the dilaton mass) where the scalar curvature is very large ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this review was to summarize evidence for the effectiveness of music therapy (MT) and to assess the quality of systematic reviews (SRs) based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs). STUDY DESIGN An SR of SRs based on RCTs. METHODS Studies were eligible if they were RCTs. Studies included were those with at least one treatment group in which MT was applied. We sear...

Investigated was the effect of age, sex, experience, locus of control, self image, and grade level taught on the attitudes of 139 regular and special class teachers toward handicapped individuals. Ss completed the Attitude Toward Handicapped Individuals (ATHI) Scale, an abbreviated 11-item Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, and the Self-Esteem Scale. Twenty-two predictor variables...

BACKGROUND Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) detected in a patient may not be clinically apparent (potential DDIs), and when they occur, they produce adverse drug reactions (ADRs), toxicity or loss of treatment efficacy. In pediatrics, there are only few publications assessing potential DDIs and their risk factors. There are no studies in children admitted to emergency departments (ED). The present...

We present a discussion of the effects induced by bulk viscosity on the very early Universe stability. The viscosity coefficient is assumed to be related to the energy density ρ via a power-law of the form ζ = ζ0ρ s (where ζ0, s = const.) and the behavior of the density contrast in analyzed. In particular, we study both Einstein and hydrodynamic equations up to first and second order in time in...

OBJECTIVE Ten-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) was earlier shown to reduce clinically suspected, non-laboratory-confirmed invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in a cluster-randomized trial (the Finnish Invasive Pneumococcal disease trial). PCV10 was introduced into the Finnish national vaccination program in September 2010 using a 3-dose schedule. We evaluated the impact of PCV10 on...

Quantization of a dust-like closed isotropic cosmological model with a cosmological constant is realized by the method of B. DeWitt [1]. It is shown that such quantization leads to interesting results, in particular, to a finite lifetime of the system, and appearance of the Universe in our world as penetration via the barrier. These purely quantum effects appear when Λ > 0. Quantization of cosm...
