Abstract:

Psychopath is abnormal psychology that cause pasients have difficulty in adjusting to the social norms that exsist in the environment. Basically psychopath is more known as a social predator because they likes to kill and rape their victims. This research focused on the psychopathic traits in one of the character in Misery novel named Annie Wilkes. This research used descriptive qualitative method and Robert D. Hare’s theory to reveal psychopathic traits shown by Annie Wilkes. The result of this research, there are eleven psychopathic traits in Annie Wilke. That are egocentric, lack of empathy

Abstract:

AbstractRegression-guided clustering is introduced as a means of constructing circulation-to-environment synoptic climatological classifications. Rather than applying an unsupervised clustering algorithm to synoptic-scale atmospheric circulation data, one instead augments the atmospheric circulation dataset with predictions from a supervised regression model linking circulation to environment. The combined dataset is then entered into the clustering algorithm. The level of influence of the environmental dataset can be controlled by a simple weighting factor. The method is generic in that the c

Subjects and methods: We performed a retrospective survey of serum 25-OH vitamin D levels in 221 CFS patients.

INTRODUCTION: One percent of abortions take place after 20 weeks of gestation in England and Wales. Overall rates of complications with second-trimester abortion are low, but they increase with gestational age. Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is the most common method of surgical abortion at this stage in pregnancy. The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) provides nearly half of all abortions in England and Wales. In 2017, BPAS added mifepristone to their regimen of osmotic dilators for cervical ripening before D&E. This retrospective study analyzed the risk for complications assoc

Abstract This paper compares three existing Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) formulations for simulating summer moisture variability in western Canada and a preliminary analysis of climate change impacts on summer moisture anomalies. The three models considered are Palmer's original algorithm (orPDSI), the self-calibrating PDSI (scPDSI), and a version modified for Canadian Prairie conditions (cpPDSI). In all formulations, potential evapotranspiration was parameterized by the Penman–Monteith method instead of the traditional Thornthwaite method. The scPDSI was used as a benchmark for evalua

Abstract Abstract 3203 Background: Patients with transfusion dependent (TD) hemoglobinopathies are at risk of endocrinopathies and bone disease due to iron overload (IOL). Vitamin D is involved in regulation of calcium homeostasis, bone health and other clinical endpoints. Vitamin D deficiency is a common manifestation of patients with transfusional IOL; the mechanism remains unclear. Vitamin D hydroxylation occurs in the liver; whether liver IOL interferes with this step has not to date been addressed. This study investigates an association between liver iron concentration (LIC) and vitamin D

Abstract:

Vitamin D deficiency is a serious public health issue in the United Kingdom. Those at increased risk, such as pregnant women, children under 5 years and people from ethnic groups with dark skin, are not all achieving their recommended vitamin D. Effective vitamin D education is warranted. A qualitative study was undertaken to evaluate the acceptability and understanding of a vitamin D infographic, developed using recommendations from previous research. Fifteen parents/carers, recruited through local playgroups and adverts on popular parent websites, participated in focus groups and telephone i

IntroductionBlack British communities are disproportionately burdened by type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its complications. Tackling these inequalities is a priority for healthcare providers and patients. Culturally tailored diabetes education provides long-term benefits superior to standard care, but to date, such programmes have only been developed in the USA. The current programme of research aims to develop the Healthy Eating and Active Lifestyles for Diabetes (HEAL-D) culturally tailored T2D self-management programme for black British communities and to evaluate its delivery, acceptability and

AbstractWith the problem of severe weather events having significant impacts on harvests in Britain, this study has looked at how small-scale food producers use agroecology to adapt to adverse weather conditions; 23 sites growing food using agroecology across the British Isles in areas severely disadvantaged to agriculture were investigated. Because the climate in these areas is generally hostile to horticulture (often in combination with other factors such as land quality), all the participants have to adapt to the prevailing weather conditions and frequent severe weather events.

Alkylresorcinols, phenolic lipids present in high amounts in whole-grain wheat and rye but not present in appreciable amounts in other foods, are candidates as biomarkers of whole-grain intake from these cereals. We estimated the intake of alkylresorcinols in Sweden and the UK using two different methods: food supply data (FSD); food consumption data (FCD; based on individual and household survey data). The average per capita intake of alkylresorcinols in Sweden was 17·5 mg/d v(FSD) and 22·9 (sd 16·6) mg/d (FCD), while in the UK it was 11·9 mg/d (FSD) and 11·8 (sd 18·62) mg/d (FCD). Ninety-six

Summary John Bulwer’s (1606–1656) work was unknown in 17th–18th century France. In 1827, when Joseph-Marie Degérando (1772–1842) became curious about the relation between the methods respectively of Bulwer and John Wallis (1616–1703), the pioneer oral instructor of the deaf in Britain, he had to query Charles Orpen, M. D. (1791–1856) in Dublin because no copy of Bulwer’s Philocophus (1648) could be found in Paris. In fact, Theodore Haak (1605–1690) had sent a copy of this book from London to Père Marin Mersenne (1588–1648) in Paris in July 1648, but none of Mersenne’s circle could read English
