Children With Chronic Physical Disorders: Maternal Reports Of Their Psychological Adjustment, Heather Banis, Jan Wallander, James Varni, Lina Babani, Karen Wilcox

Heather Banis

Advances in biomedical science have resulted in dramatic improvements in the medical care of chronically ill and handicapped children. Past measurement problems have resulted in a lack of clarity regarding the psychological adjustment of these children. The mothers of 270 chronically ill and handicapped children were administered the Child Behavior Checklist in an attempt to identify patterns of behavioral functioning across six pediatric chronic disorders: juvenile diabetes, spina bifida, hemophilia, chronic obesity, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and cerebral palsy. In general, it was found that children in all chronic disorder groups were perceived by their mothers as evidencing on the average …


Two Possible Cases Of Trephination From Australia, Steve Webb Mar 1988

Two Possible Cases Of Trephination From Australia, Steve Webb

Steve Webb

Cranial surgery has been performed for thousands of years among a wide range of cultures.

This paper describes two cases of cranial trauma on Australian Aboriginal remains from widely separated areas of the continent. The position and morphology of the trauma, as well as other associated features, suggest that these individuals underwent some form of surgical procedure. The features are similar to those found on accepted cases of …

In the report, we tried to go through concepts and organization of the database to provide an understanding of the system.

Africa's External Debt In Perspective, Asayehgn Desta

Asayehgn Desta

The conclusion that can be drawn from the data analyses is that Africa's indebtedness is not due to imprudent lending policies. On the other hand, it is possible to argue that the borrowed funds …
