This paper outlines possible strategies for evaluation of group relations conferences. Based on comparison of group relations and sensitivity training, the evaluations made of the latter are critically reviewed. Restriction to outcomes, means, variability measures, experimental paradigms and effect-without-process studies, instrumental views on learning and less developed conceptions of groups ham

Pavlovian eyeblink conditioning is a useful experimental model for studying adaptive timing, an important aspect of skilled movements. The conditioned response (CR) is precisely timed to occur just before the onset of the expected unconditioned stimulus (US). The timing can be changed immediately, however, by varying parameters of the conditioned stimulus (CS). It has previously been shown that in

Background and Objective: The size of laser-induced coagulated lesions produced in porcine muscle in vitro using a cylindrical diffusing fiber tip and a conductive heat source, made by covering the diffuser with a hollow steel needle, were compared to investigate the influence of charring. Materials and methods: Light from a Nd: YAG laser was utilized for thermotherapy. A theoretical model for cal

Etikprövningslagen bör skärpas på en rad punkter och det rättsliga ansvaret utsträckas från forskningshuvudman till att även innefatta forskningsledaren, skriver docenter, professorer med flera i en slutreplik.

The essay documents indications for cracks in the transatlantic relationship, identifies their potential causes, and outlines possible policy responses. Taking up Fukuyama’s question of whether the West “is still a coherent concept,” we draw attention to the growing dissension in the fields of environmental politics, security, and human rights. Subsequently, we offer preliminary explanations for t

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of understanding of the processes that regulate differentiation in the prostate. OBJECTIVE: To determine localisation, activity, and regulation of cytodifferentiation-modulatory proteins in the human adult prostate. DESIGN, SETTINGS, AND PARTICIPANTS: Eighteen volunteering patients with organ-confined prostate cancer were prospectively enrolled at a single university ho

Aim: To study delivery outcome including presence of infant congenital malformations after maternal use of loperamide in early pregnancy. Methods: Using the Swedish Medical Birth Register, women reporting the use of loperamide in early pregnancy were compared with other women for the period July 1, 1995-2004. Odds ratios (OR) or risk ratios (RR) were estimated after adjustment for some variables,
