Impossible Task

The purpose of this prologue is to outline how I have approached the arrogant and impossible task of surveying an unborn century of law. I may also be able to illustrate that the nature and quality of the task is completely different from that attempted in the preceding papers. In the whole paper I have done little more than infer repeatedly, in different ways (a) that the shape of the future so far as law is concerned will be determined by the methods of communication adopted between sectors of the aerospace community and between the aerospace community and society at large, and (b) that the search for effective methods of communication is urgent. But my target is not the lawyers of our community—who I am not qualified to advise. I write for the other members of the Royal Aeronautical Society and I return to the task of persuading them that they have a role to play in evolving future laws for aerospace activities.

This is an interim, summary and provisional judgment on the Brazilian experiment of the past nine years, that is, since the military took power on April 1, 1964. To try to give an impression of the results of the interaction among the values of political democracy, equality, and economic growth, and the present levels compared with those of 1964 as well as what appear to be the trends. I have chosen six “indicators”:(1)the autonomy and integrity of the legal system;(2)torture and police brutality;(3)freedom of the mass media;(4)income distribution patterns;(5)education distribution patterns; and(6)the quality of life of the people of the city of greater São Paulo.

World Perspective

Evaluations of mental health services are much in demand. Their results are supposed to help in improving the quality of mental health care and in making them economically better viable.Yet, world-wide there is: 1)little agreement about the content of terms such as evaluation, mental health service, outcome of an activity although these and other terms are widely used;2)uncertainty about the best use of results of evaluative research;3)lack of consensus about who should evaluate what and by what method.

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

Atmospheric Seeing

The subject of this symposium is the fine structure of the solar chromosphere. Progress in this field of reserach will depend to a high degree of the quality of seeing, resp. on the effective angular resolution available on the ground. Today's situation of solar ground seeing has changed distinctly in the last years. I would like to report here a few new aspects, which could be condensed into 3 questions: (1)Are there on the ground ‘good seeing windows’, comparable in quality with stratosphere results obtained from balloon borne equipment?(2)Is there a chance to resolve from the ground the solar scale height, corresponding to about 0.1″.(3)Is there a residual fundamental atmospheric seeing noise resp. a basic limit to the atmospheric Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)?

ObjectiveEvaluate the efficacy and tolerability of escitalopram and duloxetine in depressive patients with pain.MethodsSample A (escitalopram): 22 patients (15 female and 7 man, mean age 51.75); Sample B (duloxetine) 25 patients (18 female, 7 man, mean age 53,85). They were diagnosed with major depressive disorder according to ICD 10; assessed with HAMD 17 items in baseline, 14, 28, 42, 56 days; CGIS at baseline, 28 and 56 days; CGII at 28 and 56 days.ResultsEscitalopram 10–20 mg/day; duloxetine 60–120 mg/day. Sample A HAMD 17 items: baseline-21.8; 14 days-19.7; 28 days- 17.2; 42 days-13.5; 56 days-11.8. Sample B HAMD 17 items: baseline-22.3; 14 days-19.9; 28 days- 17.4; 42 days-13.2; 56 days-10.5. Item 13(somatic/general) -diffuse or vague muscle aches or heaviness in the arms or legs mean baseline score for Sample A -1.65; Sample B-1.75; 56 days: Sample A-0.80 and Sample B-0.65. CGIS: mean baseline Sample A: 4.2 and Sample B-4.3; 56 days Sample A-1.9 and Sample B-1.5. CGII 56 days: Sample A 7/22 (31.8%) -much improved and 10/22(45.45%) very much improved; Sample B 11/25 (44%) much improved and 14.25(56%) very much improved. We noted mild nausea 20/47, mild restlessness 12/47, mild dizziness 9/47 at the beginning of the treatment (both samples).Conclusions1)Escitalopram and duloxetine are safe and effective treatment.2)Coexistence of depression with physical pain negatively affects the performance in daily activity and quality of life; in such cases the first treatment option could be duloxetine.3)Escitalopram is also efficient in such cases.

IntroductionDiagnosing Alzheimer Disease (AD) is a long-lasting process, mainly due to the variability of initial symptoms (i.e. memory problems, speech difficulties, behavioral changes). Patients are usually either unaware of their difficulties or attempting to conceal them.AimsWe wanted to establish whether, based on existing knowledge, a better understanding of the leading causes of miscommunication can overcome communication barriers for AD patients.ObjectivesWe tried to summarize the existing recommendations and gold-practices and to contract them into key messages in order to improve quality of communication.MethodWe performed a systematic overview of medical literature (PubMed search, disclos* OR communic* NOT communicate AND Alzheimer), selecting of the 516 resulting titles those papers focused on doctor/patient and doctor/caregiver communication issues.ResultsSpecific communication requirements were identified for effective collaboration between(1)physician and patient,(2)physician and patient's caregivers/family and(3)caregivers/family and patient.A minimal set of communication skills and predictable courses of action was further developed, depending on(a)best practices and(b)recommended practices.ConclusionsAlthough communicating with people with Alzheimer is difficult, quite often the communication barriers are mainly due to an inaccurate perception of the disease and of patient limitations and disabilities. Understanding the mechanisms involved and acquiring certain interpersonal habits may significantly improve communication effectiveness, particularly in mild and moderate AD.

Set Up

1.Major changes have taken place in the beef industry over recent years - in particular, the introduction of several continental breeds which have the potential for producing larger and leaner carcases. The Canadian Holstein has also been used extensively in the dairy industry, replacing British Friesians, with the result that beef cross carcasses from the dairy herd have tended to be larger and have poorer conformation.2.As a consequence of these changes there is concern in the industry that beef of poorer eating quality is now being produced. For this reason, and to aid in the development of MLC's Blueprint for beef eating quality, this trial was set up in collaboration with Genus to evaluate the eating quality of two traditional British beef breeds and four continental breeds slaughtered at different fatness levels. 3.All progeny included in the trial were from Holstein Friesian type dams. They were sired by the following breeds:- Limousin (LM), Charolais (CH), Belgian Blue (BB), Piemontese (PM), Aberdeen Angus (AA) or Hereford (HF) and were finished on an 18 month beef production system.

Some forensic patients during their staying at the forensic acute ward about observation and exloration due to the forensic expertise, need and ask for therapy encounter and talk. The forensic patients,after the coming to the ward, live the general condition of various experiences: tension, anxiety, the reaction of aggression and/or wiithdrawal, shoting in the unknown, potentially dangerious surrounding, need to adaptation, adoption, some sort of activity and communication; also, the tragic experience of the commitment makes the varied psychosomathic/social/existential facts: the time - nearness of the commitment, nonacceptance and/or rejection of doing it, confusion, dillema, intensive and/or conflicting feelings of guilty, sorrow; trauma.Criteria for the SIIP:-the need and asking of the patient; the complete psychiatric/psychological observation and explorartion, some work in the social group;-the forms of addiction (alcohol, drugs), family violence, abigious and/proved homicides:-the structural neurosis, character disorders, psychotic reaction, addiction disorders, are the entities suitable for work;SIIP could be planned and realized within a week to a few weeks of sessions, a session or a few per week.The goals of therapy work are traced and evaluated in the changes of behaviour and inner experience of patient, also the protocol of therapy and “homework” of the patient are registered;The efficiency and quality of SIIP have been proved in the goals of tension reduction, better adaptation, selfacceptance, mood, communication and activities, the first period of SIIP work at the forensic ward of Psychiatric clinic in Sokolac, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
