The Relationship

In order to examine the possible interaction between different display-control relationships and the ability to look at what one is doing an experiment was carried out under four conditions: half the subjects were trained with a colour code display, the other half with a positional code; within each of these groups half the subjects were allowed to look at their hand while performing, and the others were not. It was found that the effect of not being allowed to look was larger with the colour code in the initial phase of training, and larger with the positional code in the final phase of training.

This chapter focuses on Louis-René des Forêts’s poetic sequence, Poèmes de Samuel Wood (1988) in order to highlight the relationship between poetic form, authorial voice and the genre of autobiography. Des Forêts’s sequence comprises a 559-line poem divided into thirteen sections, attributed by its title to the heteronymous author-figure Samuel Wood. Notwithstanding its form and authorial disguise, the poem is obliquely autobiographical and forms part of the overall project of the long, final phase of his writing, best exemplified by the fragmentary work of 1997, Ostinato. My analysis seeks to stake out a distinctive way of conceiving the relation of poetic form to autobiographical genre (taking a distance, notably, from Lejeunian typological approaches), and in order to do so endeavours, on the one hand, to work with the idea of form as active, dynamic and mobile, a process of forming, deforming and reforming which is always temporally emergent and variable, rather than a structure that might simply contain something like content or experience, and on the other hand, to connect that mobility of form to des Forêts’s pursuit of a distinctive autobiographical mode. Far from reflecting and securing authorial identity, this mode might be considered as one that concerns an impersonal or anonymous level of experience that is fundamentally insecure and ultimately inappropriable; we might think of this mode as a kind of degree zero of autobiography, an autobiography in the neuter, or an ‘autobiographie intérieure’.

Feeding Regimes

Thirty-six Holstein heifers were randomly assigned at the weight of 136 kg to two groups: a fast-growing (FR) and a moderate-growing (MR) feeding regime for an initial phase of 100 days, followed by a final phase ending with ovariectomy after puberty, during which half of each group was subjected to the other feeding regime. The effect at puberty of the FR was a nonsignificant reduction of 16.3 days in age, and a significant increase (P < 0.01) of 26.2 kg in weight when considering the feeding regimes of the initial phase of growth. When the same treatments were imposed during the final phase of growth, heifers on FR were 52.0 days younger at puberty (P < 0.01) and 10.0 kg lighter (P > 0.05) than heifers on MR. Follicular development, in terms of follicular fluid weight, and diameters of the largest and second largest follicles 15 days after estrus, was greater in the ovary bearing the corpus luteum than in the other ovary. The diameter of the second largest follicle was greater in heifers on FR when imposed in the final phase of growth. Injection of Vetrophin at the estrus preceding ovariectomy did not change the ovulation rate, but increased the percentage of small-sized follicles and decreased the percentage of medium-sized follicles. The number of corpora albicantia observed at ovariectomy indicated that 76.5% of the heifers ovulated prior to puberty without exhibiting a standing estrus. Of those exhibiting an estrus at first ovulation, 33.3% had a first estrous cycle of less than 10.0 days in length.

The Relationship

This chapter examines the debate between Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger over the question “What is man?”—and thus, indirectly, the authentic meaning of Immanuel Kant's philosophy—and relates it to Pope Benedict XVI's views on the complex relationship between Christianity and Enlightenment culture. What was at stake in the Cassirer–Heidegger debate was the very existence of the Enlightenment and the legitimacy of its epistemological foundation. Cassirer accepted the need to redefine the relationship between the a priori and experience, in view of an idealistic conception of Kantian transcendentalism that was both more complex and problematic. His position remained firmly within the universalistic tradition of Enlightenment humanism. Heidegger, on the other hand, saw the Enlightenment as the final phase of the vilified trajectory of Western metaphysics that had resulted in the enthronement of man. The chapter also considers the Catholic Church's anti-Enlightenment positions.

The Relationship

This paper was aimed to examine the relationship between corporate governance and financial performance in terms of ownership of 41 banks that represent Ukrainian banking system in 2006-2009. Correlation results could be used as an indicator of the weak link between corporate governance dynamics and operating performance. The Corporate Governance Dynamics Ratio was introduced to evaluate the CG in banks from the sample. It was determined during the study that majority of the banks could be found in the “30 to 80 points” range, which indicates the low level of CG practices’ implementation. On the other hand, there were some outliers – 6 banks with Ukrainian ownership have higher rankings then foreign-owned ones (“over 80 points” range), while 5 foreign banks are “outsiders” with CG Ratios in the range “less than 30”. In general it can be stated that the level of corporate governance in Ukrainian banking is in the initial phase, internal and state regulation should be introduced in order international practices to be put into action.

O presente trabalho buscou avaliar o desempenho zootécnico de frangos de corte da linhagem ROSS, do 1o ao 49o dia de idade, submetidos a rações com diferentes densidades energéticas e formas físicas (farelada e peletizada). O experimento foi conduzido nos meses de Agosto e Setembro de 1999, no aviário experimental da Cooperativa Agrícola Consolata Ltda., em Cafelândia (PR). Num delineamento em blocos casualizados, foram testados os tratamentos: T1 – ração farelada, com energia metabolizável média de 3137,5 kcal/kg; T2 – ração farelada, com 3100 kcal/kg; T3 – ração peletizada, com 3100 kcal/kg e; T4 – ração peletizada, com 3062,5 kcal/kg. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas (P > 0,05) ao variar-se o nível energético das dietas. Rações peletizadas proporcionaram às aves: maior conversão alimentar e mortalidade no período total (1 a 49 dias de idade) (P 0.05) in regard to the variation of the diets energy levels. Pelleted rations, on the other hand, provided to the birds greater alimentary conversion as well as mortality during the whole period of 1 up to 49 days of age (P < 0.05); smaller weight earning and larger alimentary conversion in the final phase (43 to 49 days of age (P < 0.05) and larger weight earning and larger feed intake at the initial phase (15 to 28 days of age) (P < 0.05).

Grundtvigs krise i foråret 1844: Forholdet mellem prædiken og salme med henblik pa “Sov sodt barnlille ”[Grundtvig’s crisis in Spring 1844: The Relationship between sermon and hymn with reference to “Sov sodt barnlille ” ( “Sleep sweet, my baby) ”]By Chr. ThodbergIn Spring 1844 Gr was struck down by depression associated with an attack of mumps [parotitis epidemica] which in its final phase developed into inflammation of the brain. His handwriting became small and frail. In the period towards Easter, a number of his sermons were taken on in turn by friends and followers, and the illness reached its peak in the weeks following Easter, and elicited an unreasonable criticism from Bishop J. P. Mynster, who accused Gr of dereliction of duty because he had difficulty in keeping up with his services. Gr’s debilitation culminates in a deep spiritual crisis on the Third Sunday after Easter. The words of Jesus, that in “a little while” he will leave the disciples and in “a little while” will see them again (John 16,16) Gr made into his own words: he was going to die and was now being laid in the bosom of God and the congregation and he would first meet again in God’s kingdom. And three days later he took his leave of the congregation in the form of a sermon in which he summed up his Christian endeavours as his last word and testament. On 3 May he set off with the family on a convalescence-visit to various clerical friends, and during this period almost the whole of “Sov sødt, barnlille” was written, verse by verse, in a fascinating process. His sermon of the Third Sunday after Easter had already set the tone and reinforced a particular context in the baptismal ritual which Gr used, namely the transition from the Gospel-reading concerning Jesus and the little children (Mark 10,13-16) and its conclusion (“And he took them up in his arms, put [his] hands upon them, and blessed them”) on the one side, and, on the other side, the priest’s laying on of hands with the Lord’s Prayer - in combination, an expression of consolation in the midst of assailing doubt and fear of death. Within the same period of time, the hymn became known to Gr’s followers and was construed and taken to heart as the most popular of evening hymns.

Abstract Image analysis is widely used for monitoring seeds during germination, and it is often the final phase of germination that is subjected to the greatest attention. However, the initial phase of germination (the so-called imbibition) also exhibits interesting behaviour. This work shows that image analysis has significant potential in the imbibition. Herein, a total of 120 seeds were analysed during germination tests, and information about seed size and shape was stored and analysed. It was found that the imbibition can be divided into two newly defined parts. The first one (‘abrupt imbibition’) consists mainly of the swelling of the seed embryo part and lasts approximately one hour. The second one, referred to as ‘main imbibition’, consists mainly of spatial expansion caused by imbibition in the other parts of the seed. The results presented are supported by the development of seed cross area and shape parameters, and by direct observation.

The Relationship

Background: The relationship between suicidal thinking and adolescent dating violence has not been previously explored in a sample of adolescent abortion patients. Aims: This paper highlights a study where the relationship between dating violence and severity of suicidal thinking was examined in a sample of 120 young women ages 14–21 seeking to terminate an unintended pregnancy. Methods: The Multidimensional Adolescent Assessment Scale and the Conflict in Adolescent Relationships Scale was used to gather information about psychosocial problems and dating violence so that the relationship between the two problems could be examined, while controlling for the other psychosocial problems. Results: The results suggest that dating violence was related to severity of suicidal thinking, and that the magnitude of this relationship was moderated by the severity of problems with aggression. Conclusions: Specifically, as the severity of participant’s general problems with aggression increased, the magnitude of the relationship between dating violence and severity of suicidal thinking increased. Limitations of the study and implications for practice are discussed.

Over Time

When people are told that their negative memories are worse than other people’s, do they later remember those events differently? We asked participants to recall a recent negative memory then, 24 h later, we gave some participants feedback about the emotional impact of their event – stating it was more or less negative compared to other people’s experiences. One week later, participants recalled the event again. We predicted that if feedback affected how participants remembered their negative experiences, their ratings of the memory’s characteristics should change over time. That is, when participants are told that their negative event is extremely negative, their memories should be more vivid, recollected strongly, and remembered from a personal perspective, compared to participants in the other conditions. Our results provide support for this hypothesis. We suggest that external feedback might be a potential mechanism in the relationship between negative memories and psychological well-being.

The Relationship

SummaryThe relationship between haematocrit and cardiovascular risk factors, particularly blood pressure and blood lipids, has been examined in detail in a large prospective study of 7735 middle-aged men drawn from general practices in 24 British towns. The analyses are restricted to the 5494 men free of any evidence of ischaemic heart disease at screening.Smoking, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol intake and lung function (FEV1) were factors strongly associated with haematocrit levels independent of each other. Age showed a significant but small independent association with haematocrit. Non-manual workers had slightly higher haematocrit levels than manual workers; this difference increased considerably and became significant after adjustment for the other risk factors. Diabetics showed significantly lower levels of haematocrit than non-diabetics. In the univariate analysis, haematocrit was significantly associated with total serum protein (r = 0*18), cholesterol (r = 0.16), triglyceride (r = 0.15), diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.17) and heart rate (r = 0.14); all at p <0.0001. A weaker but significant association was seen with systolic blood pressure (r = 0.09, p <0.001). These relationships remained significant even after adjustment for age, smoking, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol intake, lung function, presence of diabetes, social class and for each of the other biological variables; the relationship with systolic blood pressure was considerably weakened. No association was seen with blood glucose and HDL-cholesterol. This study has shown significant associations between several lifestyle characteristics and the haematocrit and supports the findings of a significant relationship between the haematocrit and blood lipids and blood pressure. It emphasises the role of the haematocrit in assessing the risk of ischaemic heart disease and stroke in individuals, and the need to take haematocrit levels into account in determining the importance of other cardiovascular risk factors.
