Formative Years

A question often asked is, "What factors in the child's formative years are most important in helping him to grow into an effective adult?" We wonder about the importance of such things as his home, his parents, his health, the type of school he attends, and his intellectual curiosity as either a help or a hindrance to his development. Seeking those factors whose presence or absence in the child's early years may lead to fame or to infamy, the Illingworths have read biographies of and autobiographies about 450 men and women described in their book, whose lives spanned the centuries from Socrates to Heinrich Himmler.

Formative Years

Frederick Soddy was a complex personality and if we are to arrive at any degree of understanding of its aspects, I believe we have to give more than usual place to the background of his early life. It has been my conception of his life that there was really four chapters in it— To 1900—his formative years, From 1900 to 1911—Montreal and the disintegration theory, From 1912 to 1918—Glasgow and isotopes, Onwards from 1919—Oxford and his social outlook. His Formative Years Soddy’s father was a relatively successful corn merchant who was 55 years old when Frederick was born, the seventh and last child. His father retained the inherited family tradition of deep religious feeling, consistently and regularly shown by public worship. Soddy’s grandfather had aspirations to be a missionary to the South Sea Islanders and had sailed for the Antipodes only to be captured by a French privateer in the year 1798. Calvinistic sermons, to which he was compelled to listen, made a deep impression on Soddy’s memories of his boyhood. These sermons were always extreme in their views and practically always contained dire threats of what might follow any tendency to leanings towards the Catholic Faith. Soddy disagreed with those views very deeply, but for understanding him it should be remembered that he was brought up in this family tradition stemming from his grandfather’s time and in his own case, from his childhood. An ‘evangel’ of some sort was a usual and not a rare guest in the household. And so in the approach he was liable to make to things in general, I have regarded his basic method of going hard at an idea without regard to the finer feelings of others, as being to a considerable extent derived from the atmosphere of family Galvinistic outlook to which he was accustomed in his early years. Truth as it was conceived was the essential thing. The method of its presentation, even at the expense of other people’s feelings, was unimportant.

Formative Years

Rosi's cinematic sensibility was influenced by his father's photography and sketching, his formative years he spent in Naples, and his apprenticeship with Visconti. La sfida (The Challenge, 1958), his debut work, which shows great affinity with the work of Cartier-Bresson, announces Rosi's future themes: the seductions and traps of power, the collusion between organized crime and business, the harsh social reality of Italy's South. His second, more ambitious work, I magliari (The Swindlers, 1959), is one of the first Italian films confronting the cultural and ethnic issues arising from southern Italian emigration. The film, which alternates documentary-like scenes with popular Italian comedy, is enhanced by the location shooting that will become a hallmark of Rosi's cinema. Rosi departs from the overly melodramatic style of La sfida and develops an aesthetic characterized by a realist exactness of space and penchant for exploring psychological states of mind.

Intimate Partner Violence Predicts Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Severity Independent of Early Life and Deployment-Related Trauma in Deployed Men and Women Veterans

Ptsd Severity

Intimate partner violence (IPV) refers to emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse perpetrated by a current or former partner. IPV affects both genders, though little is known about its effects on men as victims. The aims of this study were to determine if IPV is a factor contributing to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) severity independently of deployment-related trauma, and to determine if there are gender differences in these associations. Participants were 46 female and 471 male post-9/11 veterans. Four sequential regressions were employed to examine the independent contribution of IPV among multiple trauma types on PTSD severity in men and women at two epochs, post-deployment (participants were anchored to deployment-related PTSD symptoms) and current (within the past month). Models were significant for both epochs in men ( ps < .001) but not in women ( ps > .230). In men, IPV independently predicted PTSD severity in both epochs (β > .093). However, in women, early life trauma (β = .284), but not IPV was a significant and independent predictor for current PTSD. Thus, there are distinct gender differences in how trauma type contributes to PTSD symptom severity. Although the statistical models were not significant in women, we observed similar patterns of results as in men and, in some cases, the β was actually higher in women than in men, suggesting a lack of power in our analyses. More research is clearly needed to follow-up these results; however, our findings indicate that IPV is a contributing factor to PTSD severity in veterans.

Robert Sutton is a name that occurs quite often in sixteenth century records. It was borne by two of the English martyrs under Elizabeth I, the only two, among the three hundred and sixty martyrs at present officially listed, to bear identical names. One of these was a layman, a school-master, hanged at Clerkenwell in October 1588 for being reconciled to the Catholic faith (1). The other was a secular priest hanged, drawn and quartered at Stafford a year earlier (2). The present note concerns the priest, but since further contemporaries of these two martyrs also had the same name, others, too, will be mentioned in the course of investigating the early years of the Ven. Robert Sutton, the priest martyr of 1587.

Background: To explore the associations between birth weight and body mass index (BMI) from 6 months to 6 years of age, with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), physical activity, and sedentary time in adolescence. Methods: Retrospective school-based study with 539 adolescents (292 girls), mean age of 13.94 (1.62) years. Anthropometric data from birth up to 6 years were extracted from individual child health booklets. CRF was estimated by 20-m shuttle run test. Physical activity and sedentary time were assessed with accelerometers. Results: Birth weight was not associated with any outcome measured in adolescence. From the age of 6 months onwards in girls, and from 3 years in boys, BMI associated inversely with CRF in adolescence. In girls, BMI (at 12 mo and at 3 y of age) associated positively with sedentary time in adolescence, but not with physical activity. In boys, positive associations between BMI at the ages of 3, 5, and 6 years old and time spent in some intensities of physical activity in adolescence were found. Conclusions: BMI during the early years was negatively associated with CRF in adolescence, in a consistent way, for both genders, but with physical activity and sedentary time the associations were scarce and inconsistent, depending on the gender.

This practice memo, a collaborative effort between the Young Physicians' Program of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) and the Young Surgeons Committee of the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS), is intended to aid podiatrists and vascular surgeons in the early years of their respective careers, especially those involved in the care of patients with chronic wounds. During these formative years, learning how to successfully establish an inter-professional partnership is crucial in order to provide the best possible care to this important patient population.
