This study evaluated the efficacy of an 8-week structured group treatment for the management of chronic pain by randomly assigning 39 clients to the group treatment or wait list. The primarily female clients ranged in age from 22 to 90 and had suffered chronic pain for an average of 14 years. Chronic pain complaints were varied, including low-back pain, headaches, degenerative arthritis, and peripheral neuropathy. Clients in treatment improved significantly in the areas of physical and psychosocial dysfunction and negative mood states. Severity of pain was not significantly reduced by treatment. Treatment gains were maintained at 6-month follow-up. An interesting finding was that older adults did as well, and at times even better, than younger subjects. This treatment provides a way for individuals to improve and maintain their coping skills in spite of medical disability and pain.

On 22 December 1989, after the outbreak of events in Bucharest, ICRC delegates quickly arrived on the spot to provide protection for hundreds of civilians and medical care for the wounded. By 28 December, 34 ICRC delegates and 28 expatriates from National Societies were posted in Romania, working in close cooperation with volunteers from the Romanian Red Cross. On the same date, around 4,500 tonnes of relief goods had arrived or were on their way. During the emergency period, which lasted until the end of the year, the ICRC made repeated radio broadcasts in an attempt to ensure respect for the Red Cross emblem. In the midst of the fighting the emblem had been frequently disregarded. Once the initial emergency phase was over, there was an urgent need for various forms of ICRC humanitarian assistance, particularly in the areas of protection and medical assistance.

This study investigated tlhe differences in communication behaviors in small groups trained in creative problem solving (CPS) with groups not trained in CPS. Forty groups of five members each were evaluated (22 trained groups and 18 untrained groups). Communication behaviors evaluated were amount of participation, evenness of participation, verbal indications of criticism, verbal indications of support, and verbal and nonverbal indications of humor. Groups were also evaluated on the quantity of ideas generated. Results indicated that groups trained in CPS participated more, criticized ideas less, supported ideas more, exhibited more verbal and nonverbal indications of humor, and produced more ideas than did untrained groups-all at a significant level. Groups trained in CPS did not participate evenly as compared to groups not trained in CPS. This finding is examined in light of the role of the idea recorder in the groups.

Adjustment to deafness in early life and its influence on adjustment to the aging process was a major premise for this study. Early life experiences, peer group relationships, social relations, feelings of discrimination and stigmatization, and treatment as a minority group which together have led to the development of adaptive strategies were examined. Using ethnographic research, data was gathered from 22 deaf adults aged 55 to 84. Results indicated the educational programs they attended as children had ramifications throughout their lives. The type of program they had attended was of paramount importance in the participants' development of adaptive strategies, particularly their peer-based society and lifetime friendships which maximized sociability. Participants reported feelings of discrimination, stigmatization and minority group treatment. Nonetheless, their early acceptance of their disability appeared to carry over as the deaf adults approached the aging process.

The theories of Frank Parkin (Middle Class Radicalism. The Social Base of the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, Manchester: Manchester U Press, 1968) on differences in political radicalism between the middle & working class were tested against data from a survey of young people (ages 22-28) in Denmark in autumn 1979. Parkin's classes were further subdivided into skilled & unskilled working class, & into the technicians, white-collar workers, & new middle-layer professions of the middle class. Results show complex relationships between the different occupational groups, political issues, moral & cultural attitudes, & left-wing voters that are mostly inconsistent with Parkin's theories, as well as with Marxist class consciousness theories, since the new middle layers appear to be outside the traditional class conflict. Historical & national factors are examined as explanations for the findings. 1 Table, 2 Figures, 12 References. M. Malas

Grâce à l'Œuvre de la "Goutte de Lait", la distribution de lait stérilisé, mise en place en 1898, a-t-elle eu des conséquences sur l'évolution des taux de la mortalité infantile, dans cette ville industrielle (22 000 habitants) ?
L'auteur a mené son étude de 1883 à 1913, en confrontant Elbeuf à une ville voisine et à un groupe de six communes rurales, toutes dépourvues de cette institution. Les variations des taux de mortalité infantile (certains avaient été falsifiés) montrent que pour Elbeuf, les résultats positifs ne peuvent être mis au seul crédit de la distribution de lait stérilisé.
Des hypothèses d'explication sont alors avancées concernant l'hygiène publique, mais aussi d'autres facteurs évolutifs (dépopulation des campagnes, immigrations urbaines, surpeuplement et propagandes sanitaires éducatives). En conclusion, cette étude permettra d'apprécier le bilan nuancé d'une politique volontariste en ce domaine.

El 22 de septiembre de 1989, el señor Flavio Cotti, jefe del Departamento Federal Suizo del Interior, visitó el CICR, donde fue recibido por el presidente de la Institución, señor Cornelio Sommaruga.El presidente del CICR aprovechó la oportunidad para reiterar al Consejo Federal su gratitud por la importante ayuda de la Confederación al CICR y, con el jefe del Departamento Federal del Interior, pasó detenida revista a las actividades humanitarias del CICR.El señor Cotti, acompañado de su señora esposa, visitó a continuación la Agencia Central de Búsquedas del CICR y se entrevistó asimismo con diversos miembros del Comité y dirigentes de la Institución.Tras estas conversaciones en el CICR, el consejero federal y la señora de Cotti visitaron el Museo Internacional de la Cruz Roja y de la Media Luna Roja.

Behavior of patients with autistic syndrome makes delivery of oral hygiene and dental treatment a problem. In this study, the oral health and needs of two groups of patients with autism were evaluated: noninstitutionalized children with a mean age of 11 and institutionalized adults with a mean age of 22. The latter group had severe periodontal problems; almost half required periodontal surgery. Many of the children also needed periodontal treatment. Adults were found to have lower decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) scores than functionally independent Israeli persons of the same age. This finding was surprising because institutionalized adults are predisposed to development of dental caries; they frequently consume sweets, have poor oral hygiene, and do not use fluoride. Noninstitutionalized children with autism had caries rates that were similar to rates of functionally independent peers.

A study of the impact of the TV miniseries "Amerika" -- which aired 15-22 Feb 1987 & presented a fictional account of a Soviet invasion of the US -- on political attitudes & beliefs. Panel survey data were collected the week before the miniseries aired & the week after from 245 Long Island, NY, residents. The first wave gauged attitudes toward international affairs, the second asked questions about the miniseries itself. It was found that there was a significant conservative shift toward greater approval of a strong US military even among liberals, & that negative stereotypes of Russians & communism were reinforced. Influences on attitudes included: perceived realism of the presentation, education of those surveyed, & indirect exposure to the miniseries, eg, via peers & media. It is concluded that TV can & does affect political attitudes. 3 Tables, 34 References. A. Cole

Iraj Jannatie Ataie (b. 1947), renowned in Iran as a poet, playwright and songwriter, was imprisoned under the Shah and is now in exile from the Khomeini regime. He lives in Britain, where several of his plays have recently been staged to great critical acclaim. Prometheus in Evin, staged in Farsi at the Royal Court in London last year, was hailed by The Guardian as 'a brilliant and compelling universal story … which must place [Ataie] in the forefront of international playwrights today'. The play, which examines with ruthless honesty the lot of. the intellectual under repressive regimes, has now been produced in English (in Ataie's own translation) by the Mazdak Theatre Group (Young Vic Studio, 3–22 October 1988). A benefit reading of Ataie's poems, in aid of the Kurdish refugees, will be held at the Young Vic on 16 October 1988. The poems below were written in English.

On October 22, 1981, the Governments of Iceland and Norway approved an agreement for the joint management of the resources of the Jan Mayen continental shelf. Incorporating the recommendations of a three-member conciliation commission, the Agreement obviated the need to draw a line demarcating the right to exploit the nonliving resources in the disputed area. The proliferation of boundary disputes during the intervening 7 years makes this an appropriate time to look at the potential benefits of using this approach in other maritime boundary disputes. After reviewing the stages in the resolution of the Jan Mayen dispute and the terms of the Agreement, this essay will discuss other situations in which the joint development approach has been used, the factors affecting its success and some examples of current delimitation disputes where this approach may be applicable.

Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) has expanded substantially in scope over the past two decades. This paper provides an overview of these trends using both quantitative techniques from statistics and exploratory data analysis (EDA). Articles in CAR are classified into taxonomies and the literature tracked over 22 years.
Analysis focuses on four taxonomies: foundation discipline, school of thought, research method and mode of reasoning. The paper first examines journals vis-a-vis article publication frequency and dominant taxonomies. Secondly, three assertions concerning the relative posture of the Journal of Accounting Research and the literature are examined. Next the context of the literature is examined through major taxonomies and a crosstabulation of research method vs school of thought. The last part of the analysis focuses on trends within the taxonomies in the 1963–1984 period.

On January 6, 1987, the French Court of Cassation denied the petition for annulment of the decision rendered by the Paris Court of Appeals on July 12, 1984 [23 I.L.M. 1048 (1984)] which set aside the award rendered by an ICC Arbitral Tribunal on March 11, 1983 in the SPP v. The Arab Republic of Egypt case [22 I.L.M. 752 (1983)].Ruling on the question of their own competence, the arbitrators accepted jurisdiction over the Arab Republic of Egypt on the ground that by affixing the words "approved, agreed and ratified" by the Minister of Tourism and the signature of the Minister of Tourism to a contract entered into "between" SPP and the Egyptian General Organization for Tourism and Hotels (EGOTH), the State had agreed to be bound by the ICC arbitration clause contained in that contract.
