SummaryIt is time to improve clinical approaches to faith in mental healthcare, particularly in psychotherapy. Understood as a psychological trait, faith has potentially great personal salience and introduces socially desirable biases into human reasoning. Therapies may have faith-informed components, either explicitly, or (as with some forms of mindfulness) implicitly, which may modify the patient's faith as well as producing symptomatic change. In this narrative review, the ethics of faith's inclusion in therapy is briefly appraised. The psychology of faith is discussed, and a model of the influence of the practitioner's faith on therapeutic choice is presented. Finally, faith-informed approaches to practice, including their impact on therapeutic effectiveness, are considered and recommendations made for their optimal implementation.LEARNING OBJECTIVES•Understand the main types, characteristics and likely effectiveness of faith-informed therapies versus their secular equivalents•Develop a framework for effective assessment of the contribution of faith to a patient's quality of life, and use this to balance the advantages and risks of employing a faith-informed therapy•Be aware of the unavoidability of bias in the assessment of faith, and learn how to minimise this bias, if necessary by making a group decision

The systematical statement of the concept of the activity of the nuclei of galaxies was first made public by Ambartsumian about 25 years ago (Ambartsumian 1958, 1962, 1965). Since 1965 he has been advancing and developing the idea of the basic role of the nuclei of galaxies in their life and evolution.According to Ambartsumian the “activity” of the nuclei of galaxies manifests itself mainly in the following forms: 1.Outflow of ordinary gas matter (in form of jets or clouds) from the nuclear region at the velocity of up to hundreds of kilometres per second.2.Continuous emission of the flux of relativistic particles or other agents, producing high energy particles, as a result of which a radio halo may form around the nucleus.3.Eruptive ejections of gas matter (M82 type).4.Eruptive ejections of concentrations of relativistic plasma (NGC 4486, 5128, etc.)I should like to emphasize on the form of activity which says: 5.Ejection of compact blue condensations with an absolute magnitude of the order of luminosity of dward galaxies (NGC 3561, IC 1182). Here the division of the nucleus into two or more comparable componentsis also presumed; initiating the formation of multiple galaxies.

Abstract Compassion focused therapy (CFT) is rooted in an evolutionary view of the human mind as formed of a multitude of contrasting, and often conflicting, motivations, emotions and competencies. A core aim of the therapy is to help clients understand the nature of their mind in a way that is de-pathologizing and de-shaming. The approach is also focused on the cultivation of compassion to work with these difficult aspects of mind. CFT includes the ‘multiple-selves’ intervention which involves the differentiation of threat-based emotion and an exploration of their conflict. Compassion is then applied to the client’s affective world to aid regulation and integration. This paper focuses on clients’ experiences of a chairwork version of multiple-selves, wherein clients personify their emotions in separate chairs. Nine participants with depression were interviewed directly following the intervention and the resulting data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three interconnecting themes were identified: appreciating emotional complexity; the role of chairwork process; and compassionate integration. The results highlight the importance of emotional differentiation in understanding internal multiplicity and conflict in depression, and the role of compassion in creating a sense of personal coherence. The embodied and enactive nature of chairwork was found to be of benefit in identifying and separating emotion, and in developing new forms of self-relating. The paper discusses the clinical implications of such findings for the treatment of depression. Key learning aims As a result of reading this paper, readers should: (1) Learn about the ‘multiple-selves’ framework for working with threat emotions. (2) Appreciate the complexity of emotions in depression. (3) Understand how chairwork processes can be used to access, differentiate and address emotional material. (4) Develop insight into how compassion can be used to regulate emotions and integrate aversive experiences.

Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant brain tumour in adults, and remains uniformly lethal. These tumours contain a subpopulation of glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) that drive tumour recurrence and drug resistance. We find that MacroH2A2 is a histone variant that can stratify glioblastoma patients, with higher levels of this histone variant associated with better patient prognosis. Knockdown of macroH2A2 in GSCs is associated with increased self-renewal and an increased expression of stemness genes by RNA-seq. Our preliminary results suggest that macroH2A2 is a novel biomarker for glioblastoma and that macroH2A2 loss is a marker of GSC stemness and a poor prognostic marker in glioblastoma. This work identifies loss of macroH2A2 as a feature of GSCs and provides a framework for therapeutic modulation of this histone variant.LEARNING OBJECTIVESThis presentation will enable the learner to:1.Explain the role of epigenetics in glioblastoma pathophysiology

Summary:—There is no doubt of the need for strong central planning of aeronautical research and development as advocated by the Post-Plowden Working Party of the Royal Aeronautical Society (pp. 391-392 June 1967 “Journal“).But there are many other problems in the efficient use of aerospace resources which are equally in need of attention by the Society. Among the most important are: The complementary role of improved industrial and project management.The need to deal separately with the distinct problems of Defence, Civil Aviation and Space—in particular the improvement of Defence procurement methods.The need to discover the correct commercial and engineering bases (as distinct from political bases) for European collaboration.The need to complement the work of a strong planning organisation by providing facilities for high-level and informed technical debate, wherever possible in public.

Flux Leakage

The magnetic flux through an interstellar cloud or through a part of the cloud must decrease considerably by the drift of plasma and magnetic field in order that stars form in the cloud. Because most grains are negatively charged in dense clouds (Elmegreen 1979; Umebayashi and Nakano 1980), they retard magnetic flux leakage in addition to ions (Elmegreen 1979). We investigate this effect for different situations and obtain the following results (for details, see Nakano and Umebayashi 1980): 1.For nearly spherical clouds of mass ≳ 103M⊙ sustained by magnetic force the friction of grains is efficient at nH⊙ ≳ 105 cm−3, and the magnetic flux leakage time tB is greater than a few million years at any density. Grains drift as fast as ions and electrons.2.For spherical clouds of smaller mass and disk-shaped clouds, tB becomes much smaller and the drift of grains is much slower than ions and electrons at nH ≳ 106 cm−3.3.Thus magnetic flux leakage occurs mainly in the condensations described in 2, and the abundance of heavy elements in stars deviates little from that of the parent clouds because of small grain drift.
