The aim is to describe cases of vaginal agenesis of varied ages presentations and managements and report the outcome of interventions regarding restoration of continuity of reproductive tract and normal sexual activity. A prospective descriptive case series study.  Five female patients with vaginal agenesis were recruited from November 2005 to November 2016. Three were adolescents and had a functioning uterus. Three patients underwent vaginoplasty using McIndoe method, one had vagino-vaginal anastomosis, and the other had hysterectomy to remove source of menstruation. Age ranged from 12 to 24 years. The outcome of vaginoplasties to the 2 young females and to one of the adolescent girls was adequate vagina, whereas the other 2 adolescent girls had failed redo vaginoplasty and ended with a patent narrowed vagina in one and a closed vagina in the other which required a hysterectomy. On Follow up (range 5 - 42 months) 2 of the adolescent’s girls had regular menstruation with no pain and pelvic collection, while the third one had amenorrhoea following a hysterectomy. The 3 patients who had successful vaginoplasty got married and enjoyed satisfactory intercourse. Patients with absent vagina presents at variable ages depending on whether a functioning uterus is present or not. The success of vaginoplasty is less when it has to be done in adolescence than when it is done in adulthood when patient is grown-up. Best outcomes require accumulative experience, ideally with the aid of doctors of other specialties.

Hiv Aids

We formulate an age and sex-structured deterministic model to assess the effect of increasing comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS disease in the infected Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) and, Adolescent Boys and Young Men (ABYM) populations in Kenya. Mathematical analysis of infection through sub-network analysis was carried out to trace various infection routes and the veracity of various transmission routes as well as the associated probabilities. Using HIV data in Kenya on our model, disproportional effects were observed when dispensation of comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS was preferred in one population over the other. Effective dispensation of comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS in both the infected AGYW and ABYM populations significantly slows down the infection spread but may not eradicate it.

Phase Iv

Reference percentile distributions for blood pressure in black adolescents are not generally available. The most recently published BP percentile grids for children and adolescents were derived almost exclusively from information on white populations, and few data are available on the distribution of pulse rate for black adolescents. Reference percentiles for black adolescents for resting BP and 60-second pulse rate are presented. Given the tendency for high BP levels to track, these reference percentiles may be of value in determining the extent to which black adolescents are at risk for hypertensive disorders in adulthood. The percentiles were derived from a 3-year longitudinal study of black, urban Philadelphia adolescents, aged 12 to 17 years. Confirming results from studies of other populations in adolescence, a trend was found toward increased mean systolic BP for boys (P < .001), and that boys have significantly higher (P < .001) systolic BP than girls after chronologic age 15 years. Diastolic BP phase IV (muffling) exhibits no age or sex trends from ages 12 to 17 years, but adolescent girls overall have significantly higher (P < .001) phase V diastolic (disappearance) than boys. Sixty-second pulse rate declines for both boys and girls in adolescence, although at every age 60-second pulse rate means are significantly faster in girls than boys (P < .02). For girls older than 12 to 17 years, there is a significant, positive correlation between pulse rate and systolic BP (r = .16, P < .01) and between pulse rate and phase IV diastolic (r = .23, P < .01). On the other hand, pulse rate and BP are not significantly correlated in 12- to 17-year-old boys (r = -.04 systolic BP, r = .06 diastolic BP phase IV).

Using sociometric peer ratings, staff ratings, and hospital records, study was made of an entire hospital residential ward ( N = 33) of adolescent girls. The sociometric structure of the collectivity involved essentially three types of individuals; girls high on positive sociometric status measures (association, popularity), girls high on negative sociometric status measures (avoidance, reputed power), and girls low on both positive and negative sociometric status measures. Thus, positive and negative sociometric status appeared to be rather independent qualities for the present Ss rather than having a strong negative association as might be expected. High positive sociometric status was strongly and significantly correlated in a positive direction with higher psychiatric health, heterosexual interest, and (consistently the strongest among present factors) social initiative. Being younger and/or more asocially aggressive was significantly associated with high reputed power, which in turn was significantly correlated with high avoidance status. The girls low in both positive and negative sociometric status tended to be low on all of the other variables noted.

Eating disorders and morningness-eveningness preferences are presumed to be associated with each other. We tested this hypothesis in an adolescent population using a questionnaire for morningness (CSM) and three scales of the EDI-2: drive for thinness, bulimic behavior, and body dissatisfaction. After controlling for age and BMI, we found a positive association between eveningness and all three scales; evening-oriented girls reported higher values in eating disorders. There was a positive correlation between body dissatisfaction and drive for thinness on the one side and bedtimes during the week and on the weekend on the other, again supporting the view that eveningness and eating disorders are associated. The association between circadian preference and eating disorders thus emerges already in adolescence.

Sunku nepastebėti atotrūkio tarp seksualumo temos aktualumo paaugliams ir academia dėmesio stokos siekiant suprasti, analizuoti ir konceptualizuoti šią jaunų žmonių patirtį. Vis dar yra poreikis tyrinėti gelminius subjektyvius seksualinius potyrius paauglystėje – tai yra atskleisti, kaip paauglio savimonėje iškyla pojūtis, kad „esu seksualus žmogus“. Remiantis dalyvių diskursine pozicija, siekiama susisteminti ir aptarti tipinius normalios raidos paauglių mergaičių seksualinius išgyvenimus. Atliktas atskleidžiamosios strategijos kokybinis interpretacinis tyrimas, paremtas hermeneutine fenomenologine metodologine tyrėjo pozicija, pabrėžiant tyrimo radinių, kaip iš dalyvio ir tyrėjo asmenybių abipusio poveikio gimusios medžiagos, ypatingumą. Tyrimo radiniai suteikia naujų duomenų apie pirmąją sąmoningą paauglių mergaičių vidinę seksualinę patirtį, konceptualizuojamą kaip „žvilgsnio situacija“. Autorės įvardyta „žvilgsnio situacija“ apibūdinama keturių psichologinių mikroprocesų sąveika, stimuliuojančia savęs seksualios patyrimo stiprėjimą ir integraciją. Nors esama tam tikrų ribotumų, tyrimo radiniai atskleidžia intersubjektyvios patirties svarbą seksualinio Aš vaizdo kūrimuisi ir sąmoningam jo išgyvenimui. Šia publikacija tikimasi prisidėti prie seksualinės paauglių mergaičių raidos žinių psichologijoje gilinimo.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: hermeneutinis kokybinis tyrimas, paauglės mergaitės, seksualumas, atspindėjimas, „žvilgsnio situacija“.ANALYSIS OF ADOLESCENT GIRLS’ SEXUAL SUBJECTIVITYIlona Kajokienė SummaryIt is difficult to take no notice of the gap existing between the relevance of the theme of sexuality in adolescence for young people themselves and the lack of attention of academia trying to understand, analyze, and conceptualize this experience of young people. There is still a need to understand the profound subjective sexual experience in adolescence, i.e. to reveal the pathways how the feeling that “I am a sexual person” arises in an adolescent’s self-awareness. The aim of the present study was to update and expand the understanding of the phenomenon of the adolescence sexuality experience and to offer an updated model of understanding it, which has been created with reference to adolescents’ narratives. Particularly, it is meant to understand, organize, and analyze a typical, characteristic of the normal development of adolescent girls’ sexual experience, highlighting the discursive position of the subject in order to answer one basic question: how or in what way in the awareness of an adolescent arises the feeling that “I am a sexual person”. The interpretive qualitative study of the exploratory strategy was based on a hermeneutic phenomenological methodological investigator’s position for interpreting the experience of the participants. Data obtained during a semi-structured interview were analyzed using the method of interpretative phenomenological analysis (Smith et al., 2009). The findings have been interpreted in consistence with the paradigm of a positive and normative development of sexuality in adolescence together with some psychoanalytic developmental theories. The study has revealed the typical feelings associated with the regularity of sexual subjectivity emergence in the process of growing self-awareness. The structure of the abstracted meta-theme called “Adolescence sexuality as part of an intensive I–Other experience” is presented to the reader in this publication. The material provides new data on the first conscious sexual experiences of adolescent girls, conceptualized as a “gaze situation”. The gaze situation is characterized by the interaction of four psychological micro-processes which stimulate sexual awareness and the integration of sexual self-experience. The author chooses to conceptualize these micro-processes as a) shifting reactions towards adolescent girls; b) the sense of personal singularity and uniqueness; c) the body becoming an alluring public object; d) striving to repeat the pleasurable experience of being looked at. Two additional themes were discussed as features of the intense I–Other experience related to the growing heterosexual sexual awareness: a) the Other should be a person outside the family, b) the Other should be a person of the opposite sex. Despite some limitations of the study, its findings confine importance of intersubjective experiences with the other sex to the development of sexual selfhood in adolescence.Key words: qualitative hermeneutic research, “gaze situation”, adolescent girls, sexuality, mirroring.

Stromatoporoids are the principal framebuilding organisms in the patch reef that is part of the reservoir of the Normandville field. The reef is 10 m thick and 1.5 km2in area and demonstrates that stromatoporoids retained their ability to build reefal edifices into Famennian time despite the biotic crisis at the close of Frasnian time. The fauna is dominated by labechiids but includes three non-labechiid species. The most abundant species isStylostroma sinense(Dong) butLabechia palliseriStearn is also common. Both these species are highly variable and are described in terms of multiple phases that occur in a single skeleton. The other species described areClathrostromacf.C. jukkenseYavorsky,Gerronostromasp. (a columnar species), andStromatoporasp. The fauna belongs in Famennian/Strunian assemblage 2 as defined by Stearn et al. (1988).

Informal Approach

(Ed. note:Encouraged by the success of the more informal approach in Christy's presentation, we tried an even more extreme experiment in this session, I-D. In essence, Kraft held the floor continuously all morning, and for the hour and a half afternoon session, serving as a combined Summary-Introductory speaker and a marathon-moderator of a running discussion on the line spectrum of cepheids. There was almost continuous interruption of his presentation; and most points raised from the floor were followed through in detail, no matter how digressive to the main presentation. This approach turned out to be much too extreme. It is wearing on the speaker, and the other members of the symposium feel more like an audience and less like participants in a dissective discussion. Because Kraft presented a compendious collection of empirical information, and, based on it, an exceedingly novel series of suggestions on the cepheid problem, these defects were probably aggravated by the first and alleviated by the second. I am much indebted to Kraft for working with me on a preliminary editing, to try to delete the side-excursions and to retain coherence about the main points. As usual, however, all responsibility for defects in final editing is wholly my own.)

The Continuum

Pecker:The topic to be considered today is the continuous spectrum of certain stars, whose variability we attribute to a pulsation of some part of their structure. Obviously, this continuous spectrum provides a test of the pulsation theory to the extent that the continuum is completely and accurately observed and that we can analyse it to infer the structure of the star producing it. The continuum is one of the two possible spectral observations; the other is the line spectrum. It is obvious that from studies of the continuum alone, we obtain no direct information on the velocity fields in the star. We obtain information only on the thermodynamic structure of the photospheric layers of these stars–the photospheric layers being defined as those from which the observed continuum directly arises. So the problems arising in a study of the continuum are of two general kinds: completeness of observation, and adequacy of diagnostic interpretation. I will make a few comments on these, then turn the meeting over to Oke and Whitney.
