Clinic Study

Psychiatric Clinic study covering all drug addicts arraigned for felonious crimes in New York City between 1954 and 1960 showed that the incidence of psychosis and psychoneurosis in this group is insignificant. The incidence of definite mental deficiency is also extremely low, .02 per cent. Probably half of the individuals seen can be best described as various types of psychopathic personalities. The remainder may be considered to show, at least initially in their histories, lesser types of character and behavior disorders; and their personality defects tend to be predominantly in the fields of ethical and moral laxity and social irresponsibility. Therefore, the logical way for society to deal with the problem of criminal addicts is to use primarily the sociological measures that are determined to be most effective in curbing the depredations of the psychopath, and secondarily whatever educational and sociological measures are determined most useful in elevating the ethical and moral standards and responsibility of the individual citizen.

First Time

We have analyzed the popularization activities undertaken by ten thousand CNRS researchers by means of their annual reports for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006. This is the first time that such an extensive statistical study on science popularization practices is carried out. Our main findings are : - the majority of researchers is not involved in popularization (51% has not done any popularization over the three-year period, two thirds have been involved in no more than one popularization action). - popularization practices are extremely diverse, both at the individual level (we have identified three subpopulations that feature distinctive attitudes towards popularization), and at the level of scientific disciplines (researchers in Humanities are twice as active as the average), as well as in laboratories or geographical regions. - the number of actions reported in 2005 greatly increased compared to 2004 (+ 26%), while they slightly diminished in 2006.

Hiv Seropositive

Results of a HIV prevalence study conducted in hemophiliacs from Belo Horizonte, Brazil are presented. History of exposure to acellular blood components was determined for the five year period prior to entry in the study, which occurred during 1986 and 1987. Patients with coagulations disorders (hemophilia A = 132, hemophilia B = 16 and coagulation disorders other than hemophilia = 16) were transfused with liquid cryoprecipitate, locally produced, lyophilized cryoprecipitate, imported from São Paulo (Brazil) and factor VIII and IX, imported from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Europe, and United States. Thirty six (22%) tested HIV seropositive. The univariate and multivariate analysis (logistic model) demonstrated that the risk of HIV infection during the study period was associated with the total units of acellular blood components transfused. In addition, the proportional contribution of the individual components to the total acellular units transfused, namely a increase in factor VIII/IX and lyophilized cryoprecipitate proportions, were found to be associated with HIV seropositivity. This analysis suggest that not only the total amount of units was an important determinant of HIV infection, but that the risk was also associated with the specific component of blood transfused

The Individual

A statistical study of large numbers of chronic mental patients may seem to have no direct bearing on the problem of how to treat the individual patient and prevent chronicity. Yet the collection and analysis of mass data form an essential part of epidemiological studies which have made possible many notable advances in preventive medicine. Much of the statistical information at present available in various official documents such as the annual reports of the Ministry of Health and the Board of Control, the Registrar-General's Statistical Review, are so generalized and fragmentary as to be almost meaningless (Lancet, 1955). A few mental hospitals publish annual reports containing broad statistical information; but the detailed facts needed for proper assessment of the size and nature of the problem and for any rational reform are almost invariably lacking. Throughout the field of psychiatry, particularly in connection with the development and effect of chronicity, the existing vital statistics are incomplete and inconclusive.

The Individual

A statistical study of four criteria applied to the genus Dactylis (Poaceae) enabled us to determine the individual meiotic behaviour of eight tetraploid populations. Those criteria were as follows: the percentage of rod and ring bivalents, the average number of tetravalents, the average number of chiasmata, and the distribution pattern of chromosomic formulas.Key words: Dactylis, populations, meiotic behavior, tetraploidy, cocksfoot.

Rotation Effect

SummaryExcess of [m1] index of Am stars, relative to normal stars, is statistically found to be correlated with rotation velocity; the coefficient is estimated at ∆׀m1׀ /∆V(km/sec) ˜ - 0.0007 among Am stars. This result supports the general view that slow rotation is essential for Am phenomena.
