Patient Adherence And Adjustment In Renal Dialysis: A Person X Treatment Interactive Approach, Alan Christensen, Timothy Smith, Charles Turner, Kirt Cundick
Patient Adherence And Adjustment In Renal Dialysis: A Person X Treatment Interactive Approach, Alan Christensen, Timothy Smith, Charles Turner, Kirt Cundick
Alan J. Christensen
We classified 52 in-center hemodialysis patients and 34 self-treated, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients on two latent variable indices reflecting patient coping style (i.e., Information Vigilance and Active Coping). The concurrent and prospective interactive effects of Dialysis Type and Coping Style were examined on patient dietary and medication adherence and on patient depression. In cross-sectional analyses, higher Information Vigilance was associated with better dietary adherence for CAPD patients but poorer adherence for In-Center Hemodialysis patients. No significant effects were found on a measure of medication adherence. Information Vigilance exerted a concurrent main effect on depression, such that higher scores …

Predictors Of Survival Among Hemodialysis Patients: Effect Of Perceived Family Support, Alan Christensen, John Wiebe, Timothy Smith, Charles Turner
Predictors Of Survival Among Hemodialysis Patients: Effect Of Perceived Family Support, Alan Christensen, John Wiebe, Timothy Smith, Charles Turner
Alan J. Christensen
The authors examined the role of perceived family support and symptoms of depression as predictors of survival in a sample of 78 in-center hemodialysis patients. Cox regression analysis revealed significant effects for family support (p<.005), blood urea nitrogen (p<.01), and age (p<.005). The effect for depression was not significant. The Cox model indicated that a 1-point increase on the family support measure was associated with a 13% reduction in the hazard rate (i.e., mortality). Estimated 5-year mortality rates among low family support patients were approximately 3 times higher than estimated mortality for high support patients. Differences in patient adherence to the dietary and medication regimens failed to explain the significant effect of family support. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)
The Forms And Limits Of Medical Ethics, Barry Hoffmaster
The Forms And Limits Of Medical Ethics, Barry Hoffmaster
C. Barry Hoffmaster
As medical ethics has evolved over the past several decades, it has come to be regarded as a domain of applied ethics, that is, the application of a rationally based, philosophical theory to moral problems in health care. But an array of difficulties arise in the attempt to apply general moral theories or norms to concrete problems, difficulties that expose the incompleteness and indeterminacy of philosophical moral theory. The doubtful ability of applied ethics to be practically helpful has led to the development of two main competitors. One is the attempt to reprise and rehabilitate the tradition of moral casuistry, …

Primogeniture, Monogamy, And Reproductive Success In A Stratified Society, Ted Bergstrom
Primogeniture, Monogamy, And Reproductive Success In A Stratified Society, Ted Bergstrom
Ted C Bergstrom
This paper explores the workings of stratified societies in which there is primogeniture and where the nobility practice monogamous marriage with a double standard of sexual fidelity. We model a simple stratified society and define the reproductive values of the male and female nobility relative to that of commoners. We then explore implications of the hypothesis that preferences have evolved to favor maximization of reproductive value. The hypothesis is tested against fragmentary data from ancient civilizations and quite detailed information about the British aristocracy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

A Cross-Cultural Study Of Directive Sequences And Some Implications For Compliance-Gaining Research, Kristine Fitch
A Cross-Cultural Study Of Directive Sequences And Some Implications For Compliance-Gaining Research, Kristine Fitch
Kristine Muñoz
Compliance gaining has been widely studied in communication research as a phenomenon central to interpersonal life. Yet the category of attempts to compel the actions of others, labeled as directives in pragmatics and ethnography, has received little specific attention, despite its close connection to actual spoken life. This essay presents an ethnographic examination of directive sequences in two speech communities, one in the U.S. and one in Colombia, with emphasis on the distinctive belief systems revealed by directive use. Data from several earlier studies of compliance gaining are then reexamined to show that patterns of results obtained in those studies …
Public Information Arrival, Thomas Berry, Keith Howe
Public Information Arrival, Thomas Berry, Keith Howe
Thomas D Berry
The authors develop a measure of public information flow to financial markets and use it to document the patterns of information arrival, with an emphasis on the intraday flows. The measure is the number of news releases by Reuter's News Service per unit of time. The authors find that public information arrival is nonconstant, displaying seasonalities and distinct intraday patterns. Next they relate their measure of public information to aggregate measures of intraday market activity. The authors' results suggest a positive, moderate relationship between public information and trading volume but an insignificant relationship with price volatility. Copyright 1994 by American …

Thomas Hobbes's "A Discourse Of Laws", Noel B. Reynolds
Noel B Reynolds
The recent discovery that an anonymously published 1620 essay was an early writing of Thomas Hobbes invites investigation of his early thinking. Hobbes relied on mostly classical sources to advance a basically conventionalist theory of law and to anticipate twentieth century analyses of the principles of rule of law such as those made famous by F. A. Hayek and Michael Oakeshott.
On The Economics Of Polygyny, Ted Bergstrom
On The Economics Of Polygyny, Ted Bergstrom
Ted C Bergstrom
About 80% of all societies recorded by anthropologists are polygynous (men have many wives). Even our own society is less monogamous than claimed. This paper attempts to explain such mysteries as why bride prices and dowries are not ``opposites'', why polygamous societies are usually characterized by positive bride prices and dowry is mainly confined to monogamous societies, why polyandry (women having multiple husbands) is rare, but not extinct, and why the more you have to pay for a wife the better you will treat her.

Connecting Productive Schools And Workplaces For A Knowledge Society, Byrd Jones, Robert Maloy
Connecting Productive Schools And Workplaces For A Knowledge Society, Byrd Jones, Robert Maloy
Robert W. Maloy
As American education struggles to achieve new competencies for an emerging information age, popular reforms remain locked in industrial-era metaphors. Testing for basic skills, teacher professionalism, and school-business collaboration assumes that schooling prepares workers with skills for predictable roles. Meanwhile, computers and related technologies make possible low-cost information that is transforming learning and jobs. Hierarchical organizational structures that subordinated most employees have given way to flatter, flexible teams. Quasi-autonomous decision making by knowledgeable professionals extends to more and more workers. When businesses simply offer schools a few extra resources, they stunt interactive partnerships that enable youth and business cultures to …
Modified Trap Designs And Heights For Increased Capture Of Japanese Beetle Adults (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), Stephen Alm, Tamson Yeh, Michelle Campo
Modified Trap Designs And Heights For Increased Capture Of Japanese Beetle Adults (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), Stephen Alm, Tamson Yeh, Michelle Campo
Michelle L. Campo
Several trap designs and trap heights were tested on a golf course for effectiveness of capture of Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica Newman) adults. A single Trece trap top or four Trece trap tops (each with quarter-strength lures) on 121-liter trash container collection bases caught significantly more beetles than a standard Trece trap or a large vane trap on a 121-liter container. Traps with a single Trece trap top on a 121-liter container also caught significantly more beetles than a standard Trece trap when both types were emptied daily to determine if captured beetles were influencing trap capture. Significantly more beetles …

Party Contacting And Political Participation, 1952-90, Peter Wielhouwer
Peter W. Wielhouwer
Although the role of political parties in structuring vote choice has become considerably weaker in the last 30 years, we find that parties continue to be active organizations and contact one-fifth to one-quarter of the electorate, an activity that has important consequences. Specifically, when contacted by the parties, individuals have a greater propensity to vote and to engage in other political activities. We also find that each of the two major parties has the capability of mobilizing the electorate even when it is not the incumbent party. Even when placed alongside a plethora of control variables, these findings hold up. …
Cognitive Distortion And Depression In Chronic Pain: Association With Diagnosed Disorders, Timothy Smith, Jennifer O'Keeffe, Alan Christensen
Cognitive Distortion And Depression In Chronic Pain: Association With Diagnosed Disorders, Timothy Smith, Jennifer O'Keeffe, Alan Christensen
Alan J. Christensen
Previous studies have demonstrated that cognitive distortion is associated with increased levels of self-reported depression among chronic pain patients, suggesting that cognitive models of depression might be useful in this context. However, reliance on self-reports of depression hampers generalization of these results to clinically significant depressive disorders. To address this problem, we examined the association between depression diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-III-Revised (DSM-III-R) (i.e., major depression and dysthymia) and scores on the Cognitive Errors Questionnaire. Depressed chronic pain patients and depressed nonpain patients reported more cognitive distortion than did nondepressed pain patients and normal …
