Tail Biting

Solutions are needed to keep pigs under commercial conditions without tail biting outbreaks (TBOs). However, as TBOs are inevitable, even in well managed farms, it is crucial to know how to manage TBOs when they occur. We evaluated the effectiveness of multi-step intervention protocols to control TBOs. Across 96 pens (1248 undocked pigs) managed on fully-slatted floors, 40 TBOs were recorded (≥3 out of 12–14 pigs with fresh tail wounds). When an outbreak was identified, either the biters or the victims were removed, or enrichment (three ropes) was added. If the intervention failed, another intervention was randomly used until all three interventions had been deployed once. Fifty percent of TBOs were controlled after one intervention, 30% after 2–3 interventions, and 20% remained uncontrolled. A high proportion of biters/victims per pen reduced intervention success more so than the type of intervention. When only one intervention was used, adding ropes was the fastest method to overcome TBOs. Removed biters and victims were successfully reintroduced within 14 days back to their home pens. In conclusion, 80% of TBOs were successfully controlled within 18.4 ± 1.7 days on average using one or multiple cost-effective intervention strategies.

The Way

Paper shows how the belief that one has about how accidents happen (Theory of Accident Causation) affects the design of the Accident Report Form, the type of information gathered, the nature of your accident data base, the analysis of the data and, finally, the way in which you intervene in the situation. Two different approaches are examined, one which is typical of most existing systems, the other represents a much improved system that points the way to more effective intervention strategies.

Occlusion Device

Massive hemoptysis is generally used to describe the expectoration of a large amount of blood and/or a rapid rate of bleeding, although the precise thresholds that constitute massive hemoptysis are controversial. Unfortunately, few options exist for the treatment of active bleeding from benign airway lesions. This case report highlights a challenging clinical situation where placement of an Amplatzer occlusion device over a proximal bleeding vessel resulted in cessation of hemorrhage until vascular embolization could be performed. The use of the Amplatzer occlusion device within the airways can be an effective intervention to aid in the treatment of massive hemoptysis.

Psychology and the Pastoral Ministry: Help Or Hindrance?

The Church

Since the time of Augustine, the relationship between psychology and the church has been tenuous at best. Among those most affected in this struggle are pastors who provide psychological services. Pastors interested in and committed to addressing psychological issues must carefully balance the extreme positions of psychologism and theologism, while adopting useful and effective intervention strategies. It is suggested that clinical methods aimed at the prevention of psychological disturbances, rather than their correction, are most appropriate for use by pastors.

Presenting Symptoms

Psychopathologies of low frequency of occurrence, such as autistic disorder, constitute a challenge because of the diagnosticians' relatively low familiarity with both the presenting symptoms and, particularly, effective intervention strategies for them. This paper highlights the key potential pitfalls in the assessment of such rare conditions as autism. It then offers some suggestions as to what should be included in a diagnostic assessment of severely and chronically dysfunctional individuals. As well it discusses the need to coordinate the effects of different professionals on behalf of the dysfunctional child and his/her family. Such efforts should take into account the considerable stress and vulnerability of the families across the affected individual's lifespan.

The Relationship

This study examined an instrument measuring the salience of an individual's identification with exercise as an integral part of the concept of self. The 9-item Exercise Identity Scale was given to 51 college students. Test-retest reliability (1 wk.) was. 93 and Cronbach alpha. 94. Assessment of the relationship between exercise identity scores and other variables related to participation in exercise documents evidence for validity. A measure of exercise identity may help identify persons least likely and most likely to maintain an exercise program and so may assist in the development of effective intervention strategies.

Treatment Groups

30 test-anxious subjects were assigned to two treatment groups for 6 weekly sessions. One group experienced standard group-desensitization of test anxiety while the other group was instructed in negative practice of anxiety responses and satiation of anxiety-producing stimuli. There were no significant differences between the two treatment groups and a control group ( N = 15) in grades for the semester preceding treatment. Both treatment groups had significantly higher grades than the control group following treatment. Given negative practice, one group obtained significantly higher grades than the desensitized group. Both treatment groups reported a significant decrease in test anxiety but no such difference was reported by a second control group. It is suggested that both negative practice and desensitization might be effective intervention strategies for test anxiety.
