Cause Of Error

In the preceding paper (1933) I have recorded the results of an investigation on typhoid-paratyphoid agglutinins in a random sample of the normal population of British Guiana. It has been shown what a serious cause of error these “natural” agglutinins may represent in the carrying out of routine serological work in certain countries.

The Social

In the preceding paper information was presented on a series of recent Aboriginal suicides in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. In this paper the author proceeds to an examination of the social and historical context of these events, which have occurred in conjunction with increases in other violent behaviours. Drawing from information generated by a survey of a stratified random sample of Aborigines from across the region, the rapidly changing environment of childhood is discussed, with particular attention to the structural and functional changes in caretaking roles. The inter-cultural context of these, as yet, largely intra-cultural manifestations of disadvantage, are emphasised.

Enteric Fever ◽  
British Guiana

Enteric fever in British Guiana, according to official reports, would not appear to be excessively common: the number of notifications for the whole Colony during the years 1930 and 1931 was 244 and 250 respectively on a population of 310,000.The few observers who have studied this disease in the Colony have all insisted on its sporadic character. Rowland (1910) has clearly illustrated this peculiarity with a series of spot maps showing the distribution of enteric in Georgetown from 1909 to 1913.

Test For Normality

The Jarque-Bera test is a test based on the coefficients of skewness (S) and kurtosis (K) for testing whether the given random sample is from a normal population. When the random sample of size n contains m outliers, we use the remaining n-m observations to compute two statistics S* and K* which mimic the statistics S and K. The statistics S* and  K* are next  transformed to z1 and z2 which are uncorrelated and having standard normal distributions when the original population is normal. We show that the acceptance region given by a circle in the (z1, z2) plane is suitable for testing the normality assumption.

Big Five Personality

Abstract. In recent years, both professional and volunteer clowns have become familiar in health settings. The clown represents a peculiar humorist’s character, strictly associated with the performer’s own personality. In this study, the Big Five personality traits (BFI) of 155 Italian clown doctors (130 volunteers and 25 professionals) were compared to published data for the normal population. This study highlighted specific differences between clown doctors and the general population: Clown doctors showed higher agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, and extraversion, as well as lower neuroticism compared to other people. Moreover, specific differences emerged comparing volunteers and professionals: Professional clowns showed significantly lower in agreeableness compared to their unpaid colleagues. The results are also discussed with reference to previous studies conducted on groups of humorists. Clowns’ personalities showed some peculiarities that can help to explain the facility for their performances in the health setting and that are different than those of other groups of humorists.
