1. Smith, Kathryn Elizabeth. Purging Disorder: An Exploratory Investigation of Phenomenology, Psychological Correlates, and Distinctiveness as a Diagnostic Category.
▼ Purging Disorder (PD) is an understudied pattern of behaviors within the Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) diagnostic category. Although such categorization suggests PD is not as clinically significant as other eating disorders, recent evidence has suggested otherwise. However, it remains to be determined if PD is distinct from other clinically significant eating disorder categories. Thus, the present study sought to assess the phenomenology, clinical significance, and distinctiveness of PD. Group scores on measures of eating pathology, body image disturbance, and psychological correlates were compared (using MANOVA) among a female undergraduate sample (N= 91) of PD (n= 17), Bulimia Nervosa (BN; n=35), restrained eaters (n=18), and healthy controls (n=21). Results indicated the PD group both differed from and resembled the BN and restrained eater groups on different variables. Findings support the conceptualization of PD as existing along a spectrum of bulimic spectrum disorders rather than as a distinct diagnostic category.

2. Weingeroff, Jolie L. The course of eating disorder not otherwise specified and its subtypes in patients with borderline personality disorder.
▼ Research suggests that "eating disorder not otherwise specified" (EDNOS) is particularly prevalent among individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, longitudinal data concerning course and predictors of outcome among different subtypes of EDNOS are scarce, particularly with comorbid BPD. The purpose of this study was to examine the longitudinal course of ED NOS subtypes and baseline predictors of outcome of ED NOS over 1 0 years of prospective follow-up in borderline patients. Two hundred and ninety patients who met Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (DIB-R) and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 3rd Edition, Revised (DSM-111-R) criteria for BPD were followed prospectively over 10 years. Five subtypes of Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-111-R Axis I Disorders (SCID-1) diagnosed EDNOS were identified: subthreshold anorexia nervosa (AN) above the low-weight cut-off; subthreshold AN without loss of menses, subthreshold bulimia nervosa (BN); binge eating disorder (BED); and purging disorder. At baseline, 20% of the sample met criteria for an EDNOS subtype. In the first study, generalized estimating equations were first conducted to determine the prevalence of EDNOS subtypes over time. We used Kaplan-Meier survival analyses to examine time-to-remission, recurrence, and new onsets of the EDNOS subtypes. In the second study, baseline body mass index (BMI), socioeconomic status (SES), global assessment of functioning (GAF), social security disability income (SSOI), polypharmacy, and severity of childhood neglect, sexual abuse, and "other abuse" (e.g., physical, verbal, emotional) were examined as predictors of the course of EDNOS. Findings from the first study indicate that over time, rates of EDNOS were observed to decrease, and remissions were common. Among the EDNOS subtypes, BED was observed to have a particularly slow rate of remission and moderate rates of new onsets. Subthreshold AN without low weight had high rates of recurrence and new onsets. Findings of the second study indicate that borderline patients with EDNOS who were receiving SSDI at baseline were less likely to experience a remission of EDNOS and more likely to experience a recurrence. Additionally, severity of childhood adversity predicted new onsets of EDNOS. Findings suggest that receiving SSOI and severity of childhood adversity importantly impact the course of EDNOS in BPD.

3. Wilson, Rebecca Ellen. A brief non-dieting intervention increases intuitive eating and reduces dieting intention, body image dissatisfaction, and anti-fat attitudes : a randomized controlled trial.
Objective: Young adults report high levels of body image dissatisfaction and dieting, and are vulnerable to both weight gain and disordered eating. Non-dieting approaches have demonstrated psychological and physiological benefits in women who are overweight or obese. This study developed and examined a brief dissonance-based non-dieting intervention designed to help college women reject unhealthy dieting behaviors, accept their bodies, and increase healthy eating. Method: Participants included 94 University of Hawaiʻi students, randomly assigned either to the non-dieting intervention condition or a brochure control condition. The intervention consisted of two 90-120 min interactive group sessions designed to engender the rejection of dieting, increase body acceptance, and develop healthy eating skills. Assessment measures were collected at baseline, post-treatment, and one month follow-up. Results: The intervention produced significant improvements in the intervention group compared to the control group on measures of dieting intention, intuitive eating, body image dissatisfaction, eating concerns, anti-fat attitudes, and knowledge about the effects of dieting and healthy eating. These effects were sustained at follow-up. There were also overall improvements over time in dietary intake and mental health-related quality of life that were not specific to condition. There were no significant effects on BMI. Feedback questions gathered at follow-up showed that participants in the intervention condition reported significantly more incorporation of what they learned from the study into their lives, and greater perceived effects on motivation and self-efficacy regarding eating healthfully and rejecting the dieting mentality. Discussion: This study extends the research on non-dieting approaches by using a brief, dissonance-based structure, and applying the intervention to a young adult sample that included participants of normal weight. The findings here indicate that a non-dieting approach can be well-received by this population and result in improvements in eating and weight-related behaviors. Study limitations such as differential attrition by condition and reliance on self-report measures are discussed. Longer follow-up is needed to assess whether the intervention effects are sustained over time and whether additional benefits might emerge such as lowered incidence of eating disorders and greater weight stability.

4. Bhatt, Suvarna A. Beyond the bipolar disorder dilemma.
▼ Today, as many as 1 million American children are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and the number is growing rapidly. As a result, many parents are wrestling with questions such as: How do I really know if my child has bipolar disorder? How young is too young to medicate my child? And, can a wrong diagnosis be dangerous or even deadly?; The bipolar surge is the most controversial area in child psychiatry today because the disorder was traditionally thought to be an adult disorder, and because the illness is treated with drugs that are approved for use in adults, but not in children. A movement to increase drug testing in children is underway, and controversial breakthroughs in genetic testing techniques are on the verge of entering the market. However, a larger issue lies behind why the number of pediatric bipolar cases is on the rise and cries out to be heard. Advisors/Committee Members: Cole, K. C.

5. Champine, Katelyn E. Perceptions of school by students with emotional and behavioral disorders: a qualitative investigation of school connectedness within a substantially separate classroom.
▼ This interpretive phenomenological analysis investigated the perceptions of school by students with emotional and/or behavioral disabilities (EBD) educated in a substantially separate classroom setting, and whether or not they reported connections to their teachers, peers, and school community. Nussbaums Capability theory and Bronfenbrenners Ecological Model informed the research, aiming to answer the following research question: What are the experiences of middle school students with emotional and/or behavioral disabilities who are educated in one substantially separate classroom? Data collection included semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions, along with a review of student records in order to understand the shared school experiences of the specific population of students. The goal of the data analysis was to identify themes that shed light on the students sense of belonging within this school community.

7. Restivo, Maria. The effect of obesity on cognition in adults with and without a mood disorder.
Obesity is a common medical illness that is known to confer risk for a large number of medical illnesses, such as Type II Diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and late-life dementia. More recently, the relation between obesity and decline in cognitive performance, independent of other comorbid medical conditions, has begun to be examined. Individuals with mood disorders (Bipolar Disorder [BD] or Major Depressive Disorder [MDD]) display an increased prevalence of both obesity and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Moreover, BD and MDD are associated with impairment in cognitive functioning across multiple domains. The contribution of obesity to cognitive decline in this population has not been explored. This thesis begins with a systematic review of the literature examining the impact of obesity on cognition, providing a thorough background of this relation. The following chapter introduces a prospective cohort study designed to comprehensively explore the relation between obesity and cognition in individuals both with, or without, a mood disorder. The first of set of results from this study are presented in the remaining chapters. The neuropsychological study findings indicate that MDD and obesity may have an additive effect on cognition, resulting in significant cognitive decline in obese adults with MDD. Moreover, we show that different neural activation patterns are seen during a cognitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) task in obese versus obese MDD patients. Collectively, this provides strong evidence that populations already at risk for cognitive impairment, such as mood disorder populations, are susceptible to further cognitive changes due to increased weight.

8. Scher, Alexa J. Exploring the demographic and mental health predictors of the constructs of the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behaviour.
▼ Suicidal behaviour is an increasingly serious public health concern across the world. There is limited research on suicidal behaviour in South Africa, particularly around theoretical models, which is required to improve our understanding of suicidal behaviour. Joiner's (2005) Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicidal Behaviour (IPTS) is a comprehensive theory that focuses on intra- and interpersonal influences in the development of suicidal behaviour whilst acknowledging neurobiological correlates. The aim of this study was to explore the demographic and mental health predictors of the constructs and outcomes of the IPTS. Using a purposive sampling method, a sample of 239 psychiatric outpatients was recruited into the study. Standard multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to establish which demographic variables and mental illnesses were predictors of the constructs and outcomes of the theory. The results indicated that thwarted belongingness and interpersonal hopelessness were not significantly associated with demographic variables, whilst being a female, being unemployed and having a lower level of education were significantly associated with perceived burdensomeness, and younger age, being male and being employed were significantly associated with acquired capability for suicide. Being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder and substance use disorder were significantly associated with lower levels of TB, whilst all of the mental illnesses (except impulse control disorder) were significantly associated with PB. None of the mental illnesses were significantly associated with IH or AC for suicide. Low levels of education were significantly associated with all three outcomes, whilst being unemployed was significantly associated with death ideation, being Black or Coloured was significantly associated with suicidal ideation and being of a younger age was significantly associated with suicide risk. Lastly, borderline personality disorder and substance use disorder were significantly associated with all three outcomes, whilst bipolar mood disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia and bereavement were also significantly associated with death ideation and bipolar mood disorder was also significantly associated with suicide risk. These findings further our understanding of the role that demographic variables and mental disorders play in the development of suicidal behaviour in the unique South African context, with the study having the potential to inform both the assessment of suicide risk and the development of prevention and intervention initiatives to minimise suicide risk in practice.

9. Evces, Mark Richard. Posttraumatic symptoms as a mediator between childhood abuse and aggressive behavior in lower SES African-American men.
▼ The relationship between self-reported child abuse, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and aggressive behavior was examined. One hundred and seventy seven men were interviewed in primary care and obstetrics/gynecology waiting rooms of a large, inner city hospital. Rates of abuse, PTSD, and aggressive behavior were higher than those found in normative epidemiological data. A significant, positive correlation was found between history of abuse, frequency of current PTSD symptoms, and frequency of aggressive behaviors. Posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms significantly mediated the relationship between measurements of child physical abuse and a non-weapon aggression. PTSD symptoms also trended towards mediating between measurements of child emotional abuse, and non-weapon aggression and theft behavior. These findings support previous "cycle of violence" studies that posit a relationship between traumatic childhood victimization and subsequent aggression by the victim. PTSD appears to be one pathway leading from early traumatic experiences to later aggressive behaviors. Advisors/Committee Members: Arthur Horne.

10. Seibert, Lauren Alana. Effects of emotion regulation on aggressive behavior in individuals with borderline personality disorder symptomatology.
▼ The current study examined whether individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptomatology and difficulties in emotion regulation (DERS) would vary in their aggressive behavior following mood induction. One hundred and eighty-four males and females were randomly assigned to a neutral, sadness, or anger mood induction prior to participating in a competitive reaction-time task wherein they were free to administer or refrain from administering shocks to an ostensible opponent. Results indicated that there were no main effects of gender, BPD symptomatology, difficulties in emotion regulation, or condition on aggressive behavior. Explication of a three-way interaction among BPD, gender, and condition revealed that when experiencing negative affect (anger or sadness), females endorsing higher levels of BPD symptomatology were less physically aggressive than their low BPD symptomatology counterparts. Explication of a three-way interaction among DERS, gender, and condition indicated that the variables did not significantly predict differences in aggressive behavior.

▼ This study examined predictors of treatment outcome for combat veterans in a group-based exposure therapy. The study compared Black and White injured combat veterans with PTSD and non-injured combat veterans with PTSD. A secondary data analysis was performed on a group of 102 veterans participating in a group-based exposure therapy. The majority of veterans were from the Vietnam War Era (1961-1975). The sample consisted of veterans age 33 and older. The study revealed no significant differences in treatment outcome based on injury or race. The study concludes by suggesting implications for social work practice, research, and policy. Advisors/Committee Members: Cheryl Dozier.

12. Casey, Melissa Robin. The employment status and managerial challenges of mothers in two-parent families with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
▼ This study sought to examine the managerial challenges and employment decisions of the mothers in two-parent families whose children have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (autism). Specifically, how does the presence of a child diagnosed with autism relate to a mothers choice to pursue employment outside the home in two-parent families and what factors are associated with making this decision? What are the managerial challenges brought about by having a child diagnosed with autism in two-parent families? Data were collected through semistructured interviews with mothers of children diagnosed with autism in two-parent families in Georgia. Twelve interviews were conducted and through content analysis four themes werediscovered: employment sacrifice, high time costs of therapies, lack of affordable or available services and insurance coverage, and the need for financial and legal services.

13. Stojek, Monika Magdalena. The effect of attention disengagement training on eating disorder symptoms in individuals with borderline personality pathology.
▼ Bulimia Nervosa (BN) is highly comorbid with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and both of these disorder are characterized by reactivity to negative mood states. Attentional disengagement training (ADT) has been shown to reduce attentional bias to threat in individuals with anxiety disorders. The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not attention disengagement training in a population of individuals with BPD features would reduce negative a ective states and, consequently, their comorbid bulimic symptoms. Sixty participants were initiated in the ADT program. Twenty-eight participants were assigned to the placebo condition and 32 to the treatment condition. We conducted mixed model Group X Time ANOVAs with repeated measures on the second factor The results indicated that there was a signi cant decrease in the symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, and bulimic behaviors over time in both groups, regardless of their group status. We had not found the expected time X group interaction. The reasons for these results are explored. Advisors/Committee Members: Sarah Fischer.

14. Li, Qingyang. How clinicians respond to borderline personality disorder: an fMRI study.
▼ The current study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to evaluate clinicians' brain activity associated with their attitudes toward borderline personality disorder (BPD). Nine clinicians were surveyed about their experience with BPD patients and then were scanned while they read vignettes describing clients with BPD and clients without any mental disorder in alternating blocks. For each vignette, a score was provided by the participants to evaluate their efficacy to treat the client described in the vignette. Each vignette was presented in a series of three screens, the first screen providing gender and diagnosis of the client (diagnosis screen), the 2nd and 3rd screen describing three salient symptoms from that diagnosis (symptom screen I and II). Reading the word borderline (in the diagnosis screen) resulted in increased activity in the left amygdala, left thalamus, bilaterally in putamen, caudate, substantia nigra, insula, in the left superior and middle temporal gyri, left fusiform, left parahippocampal gyrus, left inferior parietal lobule, left angular cortex, and in the bilateral superior frontal gyrus. Reading BPD symptoms in symptom I screen was associated with increased activity in the left caudate, cerebellum, bilaterally in visual cortex and posterior cingulate gyrus. One area of deactivation was also found in the right postcentral gyrus. In the symptom II screen, reading BPD related content resulted in increased activity in the right fusiform, parahippocampal gyrus, bilaterally in posterior cingulate gyrus, inferior parietal gyrus, angular gyrus, cerebellum, insula, and inferior frontal gyrus. I also found five of regions of interest activated when reading the symptom II screen where activation correlated linearly with the self-reported efficacy score, the bilateral insula, bilateral angular gyrus and right middle frontal gyrus. Deactivations were also found in right postcentral gyurs, right precentral gyrus, left visual cortex and left superior frontal gyurs. This study thus showed that BPD related stimuli had emotional charge to experienced clinicians. Advisors/Committee Members: Jennifer McDowell.

15. Urbano, Alessandra. Clinicians' understanding and use of their personal recovery in the treatment of eating disorders.
▼ The limited estimates available (Barbarich, 2002; Bloomgarden, Gerstein, & Moss, 2003; Costin & Johnson, 2002) indicate that the prevalence of eating disorders (EDs) among professionals who treat EDs is significantly higher than the prevalence of EDs in community samples. Despite this indication, little is known about how "recovery" is defined or how recovered clinicians use their personal recovery in the treatment of EDs. The present study contributes to this largely underdeveloped body of literature by providing an in-depth examination of a sample of nine clinicians' understanding and use of their personal recovery in the treatment of EDs. More specifically, this study used a feminist research orientation (Striegel-Moore, 1994) and the Corbin/Strauss (2008) approach to qualitative analysis to produce findings in the form of two classificatory schemes with accompanying diagrams regarding recovered ED clinicians' (a) understanding/definition of ED recovery and (b) use of personal recovery in the treatment of EDs. To enhance the credibility of the findings, verification standards and procedures were incorporated into each stage of the recursive research process, including member checks of transcripts, demographic information, and the classificatory schemes and diagrams; the use of multiple data analysts and routine team meetings; reflexive journal writing on behalf of all three researchers; theoretical sampling; and peer debriefing. A discussion of the major findings and conclusions drawn from the current study, their implications for practice and training, and recommendations for future research is included.

16. McDonough, Jaimi Donald. Examining the cross-cultural validity of three early autism screening instruments.
▼ Despite evidence to support improved outcomes with early intervention, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is still being diagnosed, on average, much later than the time at which it can be reliably diagnosed. Research suggests that differences exist between minority racial and SES groups with regard to age at first diagnosis of ASD. Population-wide screening for ASD has been recommended to aid in early identification as well as to reduce disparities in timing of diagnosis, particularly for underserved groups. Although research related to the psychometric properties of ASD assessment instruments is established, little information is available regarding use of ASD assessment instruments with culturally diverse populations. The purpose of the present study was to examine the validity of three early ASD screening instruments across cultural groups to inform clinical use of the instruments with diverse populations. Parent ratings from the Social Communication Questionnaire, Current Version (SCQ-Current), the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddler (M-CHAT), and the Pervasive Developmental Disorders Screening Test-II (PDDST-II) were collected for 121 children (M age = 3.74 years, SD = 1.14 years) at risk for ASD who were participating in a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. No significant differences in age at evaluation were found across race or maternal education level. In addition, no significant differences in screener accuracy were observed for minority race groups or for raters without a high school diploma. In contrast, the M-CHAT and M-CHAT Critical Item Total Score differentiated ASD and non-ASD participants more effectively than the SCQ in the total sample. None of the screeners demonstrated acceptable diagnostic accuracy for both sensitivity and specificity within a referred sample. Findings and implications for clinical practice are discussed.

Present study was intended to examine the neuropsychological deficit if any associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The sample of the study was consisted of 120 boys in the age range of 7 years to 13 years. Thirty boys in each of the three ADHD subtype groups i.e. inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive and combined type were taken. A matched control group was also taken. Only psychiatrically diagnosed cases were included in each of the above three groups. These children were administered neuropsychological test like Finger Tapping Test developed by Spreen and Strauss, (1998), Color Cancellation Test developed by Kapur, (1974), Phonemic Fluency Test developed by Lezak, (1995), Picture Completion Test developed by Malin, (1969) and N back Task developed by Smith and Jonides, (1995), uniformly under standard testing conditions by the investigator. Similarly, the children in the control group (30 boys) were also administered these test by the investigator. The tests were scored as per scoring guidelines given in the manuals. The obtained data were analyzed by using both descriptive as well as inferential statistics. In descriptive statistics means and standard deviation were calculated and in inferential statistics simple ANOVA was done for significance of the mean difference in different groups. Duncan s Post -hoc Test was applied where ever it was required for significant group comparisons. Findings revealed that the hyperactive/impulsive and combined types of ADHD children performed poorly on motor speed than the control group with their left hand. In case of right hand all the ADHD children performed poorly on motor speed than their normal control group counterparts. Similarly, ADHD children showed deficits in sustained attention and executive functions on working memory the ADHD children were found to perform poorly than the control group children. Variations among the three subtypes of ADHD (Combined, Hyperactive/impulsive and Inattentive) children were less prominent.

20. Dubin, Ashley Heather. Naturalistic behavioral interventions for social-communication skills in young children with autism spectrum disorder: a systematic literature review and empirical investigation.
▼ Significant social communication impairments, including deficits in joint attention (JA) are present in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and impede development across several aspects of functioning (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013). Much research has been devoted to evaluating interventions designed to improve early social communication deficits, as improvement in these pivotal skills is thought to lead to overall improvement in the developmental trajectory (e.g., Mundy & Crowson, 1997). The purpose of the following two studies was to synthesize the extant research on naturalistic behavioral interventions designed to target early social communication skills for children with ASD and further the research base by conducting an empirical investigation of one such naturalistic behavioral intervention, Prelinguistic Milieu Teaching (PMT), implemented in preschool classrooms with children with or at risk for ASD. The first study was a systematic review of studies examining the effects of naturalistic behavioral interventions on prelinguistic social communication skills in children with ASD. Results suggested evidence for interventions effects; however, methodological issues precluded interpretation of effects in several studies. Information was provided regarding study quality, the students and behaviors for which naturalistic interventions have demonstrated functional relations, information about components of effective interventions as well as generalization and maintenance of effects. In the second study, PMT was empirically investigated within the context of a multiple baseline design across participants. Results provide support for the use of PMT in preschool classrooms, as all three participants exhibited gains in intentional communication skills upon implementation. Furthermore, although PMT was implemented by graduate students, teachers were observed to utilize some strategies consistent with PMT during teacher-child play samples. Results from the systematic literature review and empirical investigation of PMT implemented in preschool classrooms have implications for future research and practice in the area of intervention to improve prelinguistic social communication skills for students with or at risk for ASD.

22. McMillan, Michelle. Biomechanical exposures and musculoskeletal disorders among Saskatchewan farmers .
▼ Background: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among farmers is greater than non-farming populations. The burden on Canadian farmers is unknown, however. Research is required to determine the occurrence of these conditions and the work-related tasks that contribute to musculoskeletal pain in prevalent anatomical sites. Objectives: The objectives of the two studies comprising this thesis were to 1) describe the sample population of Saskatchewan farmers and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, and, 2) explore the strength of associations between biomechanical exposures and work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Methods: Objective 1. Participants received a mail-out survey for the Saskatchewan Farm Injury Cohort. Study outcomes were self-reports of musculoskeletal disorders characterized by presence and severity of musculoskeletal pain in nine anatomical regions. Objective 2. A cross-sectional analysis of the experience of musculoskeletal pain in relation to four main biomechanical work exposures was performed. Relationships were determined by modeling the exposures separately using modified Poisson regression. Results: Objective 1. A strong majority of participants (82.2%) reported having musculoskeletal pain in at least one body part over the past year. The lower back was the anatomical site most frequently affected (57.7%), followed by the shoulders (44.0%). Objective 2. Results suggest that all biomechanical exposures had a dose-response effect on musculoskeletal outcomes. Shovel or pitchfork use was strongest for lower back pain, while working with arms above head was the greatest risk factor for shoulder pain. Conclusions: Objective 1. Our study suggests that Canadian farmers also experience musculoskeletal pain most frequently in the lower back and shoulders, similar to those in other regions and commodity types. It also found that all farm people are at risk for musculoskeletal disorders, highlighting the need to target all subgroups and commodity types equally. Objective 2. Strong associations between increased biomechanical exposures and pain in the lower back and shoulders support the evidence that these regions are susceptible to the physical exposures of farm work.

24. Lovas, Tímea. Broca's Aphasia and How This Language Disorder Affects the Speech and Language of Patients .
▼ Language is one of the most important phenomenon which is present in our daily lives; we use it in every moment and in every situation. It is the main tool for communication because speech is the easiest way to express ourselves, to exchange our ideas or thoughts; to interact and to participate in dialogues with other people – in other words; to communicate. Thus, we usually take this ability for granted and most of us do not even think of the fact that language, which we believe to be a constant factor in our lives; might be lost or damaged at any time. Language disorders are also present in our lives and anyone could fall victim to them. In my thesis I will set out to investigate one of the language disorders, Broca"s aphasia and will look at how this disorder affects the language use and the speech abilities of a person. I intend to show to what extent and how patients are able to recover with the help of tests speech therapists apply. I have chosen this topic because I find it really interesting from the linguistic point of view. Furthermore, I am also interested in how to recognize, treat, understand and communicate with people who have suffered from this language disorder, especially if they belong to our family or our circle of friends.

27. Marfoh, Alexander (Rev). Prevalence of speech disorder in school children from class one to class six in Offinso Municipality in Ashanti Region.
The current research reports the prevalence of speech disorders in school children from class one to class six in the Offinso Municipality in Ashanti Region of Ghana. A cross-sectional research designed to recruit 900 respondents from 58 government primary schools in the municipality was used in the data collection. The aim of the study was to find out the occurrence of speech disorders among the sample population at a given point in time, which was then used to determine the prevalence of speech disorders in the municipality. The procedure adopted included training in the data collection process, teacher identification, screening tests, confirmation by speech pathologists and ENT doctors. Of the 900 respondents, 144 were diagnosed as having speech disorders with a prevalence of 0.16. There were more boys observed with speech disorders than girls. The arrangement of prevalence of speech disorders was significantly different according to gender. It was not possible to test the association of speech disorders by class level due to the small numbers in the majority of cells. There was an overall falling prevalence of speech disorders with class level. Of the 144 respondents diagnosed with speech disorders, the majority of the respondents 109 (representing 75.6%) had articulation disorders whiles the minority of the respondents, 7 (representing 4.8%) exhibited voice disorders. The frequent causes of speech disorders were vocal cords nodules and hearing impairment. These results have important inferences on the need of resource development for prevention and rehabilitation of speech disorders. Finally most of the findings are preventable if appropriate measures are taken.

▼ This qualitative study explores client experiences to further understand psychotherapy for the treatment of eating disorders in community practice settings. Eight participants shared their experiences of individual psychotherapy, where eating disorders were the primary focus, during minimally-structured and open-ended interviews. Data were analyzed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Analysis resulted in 20 themes representing what participants described as meaningful in their experience of therapy. These themes are organized in five broader thematic categories: Goals and Expectations of Therapy, Therapist Way of Being, Session Process, Eating Disorder Specific Interventions, and Non-Eating Disorder Specific Interventions. Each thematic category and theme is described in detail, including verbatim quotes from participant accounts, and depicting points of agreement or divergence among participant experiences. The constructivist orientation, principles of hermeneutic phenomenology, and helpful factors design forefront participant perspectives and allow for elucidation of nuances in which therapy and therapeutic interventions unfold. The findings reinforce and expand upon scholarly literature, including ways that participants find it helpful when therapists consider the client's context, but also value direction provided by therapists who have eating disorder expertise. Implications of the study for research, practice, and training are discussed.

The Lesbian Movement () was a Danish organization for lesbians established in 1974 in Copenhagen by a group of women including Vibeke Vasbo who were unhappy about the degree of intolerance towards lesbians in the Danish Redstocking Movement.

The Movement was Denmark's first lesbian organization. It was established on 10 March 1974 by a group of women from Rødstrømpebevægelsen (The Red Stocking Movement) together with a smaller group from the homosexual organization Forbundet af 1948 (The 1948 Association). The main reason for setting the organization up was that a number of lesbians found that members of the Red Stocking Movement were not ready to accept their identity and their problems. They had even been called a group of "lesbian men haters".

Like the Red Stockings, the Lesbian Movement consisted of several freely organized groupings, without any specific management structure. While the Copenhagen group was the largest, there were active sections throughout the country. In addition to general support for women's rights, the Movement strove for progress on lesbian rights. By means of courses and publications, they encouraged lesbians to become more open and visible and to fight discrimination against them. Despite their differences, they conducted much of their work in collaboration with the Red Stockings, becoming part of the evolving feminist movement in the 1970s. As a result, many of their individual activities were shut down. In 1985, the Movement was dissolved.

The Lesbian Movement's main publications were Kvinder-Kvinder (Women-Women, 1972–78) and Hvidløgspressen (The Garlick Press, 1982–86). In the 1970s, they congregated at summer camps on the islands of Femø and Sejerø.

Zecoxao has announced that a "method" for "games" is coming soon for PS4 6.02.
Although the tweets are pretty ambiguous, reading between the lines we can assume he is talking about a method to pirate games on the latest firmware.
Specifically, Zecoxao has precised that this is not a hack, rather a "method", and that once it is disclosed, Sony will patch it. He's also clarified that this will only be useful for games, which I interpret as: "you'll get piracy, not homebrew".
Sometimes the most clever techniques to run unsigned code on Sony's consoles have emerged from "glitches" that were barely considered as hacks, and this could become one of those.


Falcons Football Club was formed on June 4th, 2006 by Craig Randall. Gathering people from several different means, he was able to gather 13 people for the first ever Falcons kickaround session on June 4th in Fairfields, Kingston Upon Thames. Due to the success that day, the club was able to build on that success and grow as a club.
The club had their first match on Wednesday, August 9th, 2006 in Barnes vs Kew 7's FC. Some of the players were training in Barnes and came across a few of the Kew 7 players who insisted on a friendly. The manager Craig Randall was able to put together a team in the short few days. And for the first time ever, players were able to represent the club.
The game was won by Kew 7's 7-1, but Falcon's scored their first ever goal through James Edeki who actually started his first game as a central defender, then went to play midfield, then striker ( a position he was to hold from then on).
A week later Falcons played their first home game against fellow new comers (another of Randall's antics) Roman's Athletic. The Falcon's ran out 3-2 winner's with James Edeki hitting the first ever Falcon hat trick.
We owe great thanks to our friends Stonewall Football Club for kindly donating their kits to us to use whilst we find out feet. We got no less than four different kits.
A few other friendlies took place before December vs Nottingham Ball Bois (won 3-2), vs Leicester Wildecats (won 5-1), vs Brighton Bandits (lost 4-2) and vs London Titans (yes, another of Randall's creations! but we lost this one 4-3, ouch!) The Falcon XI teams also played a few friendlies, beating Romans twice and loosing to London Leftfooters.
The first ever league match was against Stonewall in the L.U.F.L (league formed by Randall, surprise!) during February. There had been a couple of games postponed due to bad pitch conditions after a couple of months of awful weather.
The game ended 2-0 to Stonewall though the Falcons did go onto get revenge at home returning the favour 2-1, the winner coming in this game from Kieran Evans. The victories against Romans home and away helped Falcons to second place behind GFC Bournemouth. The Falcons had lost both the games vs Bournemouth 3-2 and 4-3 and made the GFSN champions work hard to get the victories.
Other events during the season include the London Tournament For All in Regents Park, an event hosted by the legendary London Leftfooters. The Falcons played well, beating Blaze, Leftfooters and Dublin before loosing out to GFC Bournemouth in the Quarter Finals. The tournament was attended by teams across the country and a few international teams as well.
The club's success did not go unknown, within several weeks after the season ended, the club were officially confirmed to enter into the G.F.S.N National League for season 2007-08.
And during the close season, club captain and vice captain were appointed by Pride to host the Pride 5-a-side tournament in Wembley Goals Centre. Falcons again proved themselves worthy by fielding FOUR teams, three of those reached the quarter finals and one of those reaching the semi finals where they lost on penalties to Stonewall. The eventual winners were Village Manchester who beat Stonewall 3-1 in the final. Falcons finished fourth place loosing 1-0 to arch rivals London Titans in the 3rd and 4th place game.
The close season brought a few changes to the club set up. Coaches Dan Walton and Tom Sobel stepped down though both with means to carry on playing. Chris Maughan took up the reigns to coach the team.
Soon after the club captain Tom Price stood down from his role to take up the position of club chairman. Ian Kehoe became the new captain, a role he is expected to excel in. Gary Britnell took up Kehoes vacant position and is now the clubs sponosrship and events manager.
The new season will begin soon, and more will be written here. Check back from time to time to read how the Falcons are doing.

APC Convention To Hold February 25
by George Agba
There are indications that the leadership of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) has bowed to pressure and slated its national convention for February 25, 2022.
Following unfolding reports yesterday LEADERSHIP Weekend findings revealed that the party's Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) headed by Yobe State governor, Mai Mala Buni, conceded to the demands of party stakeholders to hold the convention at a later date in February instead of on the 5th as earlier scheduled, hence the decision to it to February 25.
A source within the party confirmed that the February 25 date was arrived at "after series of consultations among governors and some party big wigs, with President Muhammadu Buhari in the know.
"You know President Buhari is a leader who will always yield to the wish of the majority. To quell the rancour within the party over the delay in holding the convention, he (the president) asked the caretaker committee to consult with party members and come up with a later date in February instead February 5th which was the original date.
"The consultations have been going on since last week and there was a congruence of opinion that the convention should hold on the 25th of February," the source who did not want his name in print told our correspondent.
Our sister publication, LEADERSHIP, had last week reported exclusively that the party leadership had planned to push the date forward to a time when it would be appropriate for it to simultaneously conduct national a convention that would produce new national chairman of the party and members of the NWC and a presidential candidate at the same time.
But APC leaders, including governors elected on the party's platform, were upstaged and ran from pillar to post when President Muhammadu Buhari, in an interview with the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), cautioned party leaders to put their house in order if they must retain power in next year's general elections.
Buhari warned against the persistent differences, disunity, and lack of agreement, which he said could put the party in jeopardy during the election and pave way for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to reclaim the presidency in 2023.
The caretaker committee had on Wednesday dismissed as 'fake news' reports that the party had suspended process of its national convention till June 2022, stating however that its immediate task was to address and resolve contestations within the party, including litigations, fallouts of recently-conducted congresses, and generally reposition the party ahead of the national convention.

I've been slacking on recipes this week because we are visiting family for Thanksgiving. This was a big week: baby Grayson's first Thanksgiving and also his first birthday! I will be posting photos from the nautical-themed party once we return. In the meantime, I'm going to share a little from this weekend.
Thanksgiving is always a big event for us, but this year we had to make sure everyone had some time to spend with the baby, because he won't be one for much longer *sigh*. This first year was one of the hardest of my life, but also the most rewarding. A baby truly changes everything in your life and I'm grateful I was able to spend this first year with him.
Starting Love and Duck Fat has been my way of channeling my creativity through this time, and I thank each and every reader out there. I had no idea what to expect when I started this blog. I've learned so much and look forward to the year ahead. I wish everyone a wonderful holiday. I'll be back in the kitchen in a few days!

In her chapter (Bentley, 2016) introducing the just published book, "Evolutionary Thinking in Medicine: from Research to Policy and Practice," the author acknowledges activity that can be considered evolutionary medicine in the years prior to 1991 but confines it to before roughly 1940. Following the end of World War II, Professor Bentley finds little to no evidence of significant work in the field until the 1990s. Unfortunately, these claims disregard substantial numbers of evolution-related studies that either influenced fundamental understanding of human health and disease or affected medical practice.
Some of these publications from the period of 1945 to 1990 described seminal and extremely influential studies that appeared in high-profile medical or biomedical research journals. In fact, a few of these publications led to Nobel Prizes or were associated with future Nobel laureates or other extremely eminent biomedical investigators. They should be regarded as informative and important examples of evolutionary medicine. This lack of recognition seems to reflect both the limitations that can arise from a field that embraces fairly disparate disciplines and the particular disciplinary affiliations characterizing individuals critically involved in the reinvigoration, since 1990, of evolutionary medicine as an explicitly-recognized domain of inquiry.
This situation reminds me, as best as I can recollect, of Horace Freeland Judson's comments in his history of molecular biology, "The Eighth Day of Creation" (1979), about the multiple research traditions, whose practitioners had different primary interests and research goals, that together brought into being what we now regard as molecular biology. For example, there were structural biologists who applied X-ray crystallography to biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids in the quest to determine three-dimensional structures and relate them to function. A fairly distinct group of investigators were intensely interested in how genes functioned, a question they initially explored primarily in bacteria and their viruses. The majority of members of these two groups were not necessarily, initially at least, well versed in the accomplishments of the individuals in the other group.
So with respect to Randy Nesse's suggestion that all of the talks at the second annual conference of the ISEMPH can be traced back to his 1991 article with George Williams (Q Rev Biol.), I cannot agree completely. My presentation, and the other talks in the same session on "Somatic Cell Mutation, Selection, and Evolution in Health and Disease," can arguably trace their primary intellectual sources of inspiration, if that is not too grandiose a term, back well before 1991. Of course, we would not have been presenting these talks at the particular place and time we did present them without the existence of the ISEMPH and all of the substantial work that preceded the creation of the society and made possible this particular conference.
So, below I provide a number of examples of important studies published after 1945 but before 1991, limited mostly to those of particular relevance to my career, in which evolutionary principles or concepts played a critical role in explaining or understanding phenomena of clear and arguably major medical significance. The insights embodied in the corresponding publications were the impetus for many subsequent and important contributions involving evolution and medicine. In addition, there were many other lines of research from this period that related to both evolution and medicine that I will not cite here. Thus, the studies I do cite below are intended to be illustrative.
Their shared concept was that the antibody-producing cells, which we now call B lymphocytes and plasma cells, varied genetically (within the same body) in ways that influenced recognition of foreign molecules, termed "antigens." On the basis of differential abilities to respond to antigen, some B cells had a survival and proliferative advantage. The result was that antigen that found its way into the body exerted a selective "pressure" on the body's lymphocyte population promoting the evolution of that population of cells and favoring specifically those B cells with antigen-specific receptors able to effectively bind that antigen. Such phenomena clearly represented somatic cell evolution and were obviously of relevance to immunity against human pathogens and presumably also of importance for numerous immunologically-mediated diseases. In other words, the study of immune responses was part of evolutionary medicine.
Given this background, it never occurred to me to doubt that evolution was relevant to medicine. But other aspects of my education and training similarly led me to view the relationship between evolution and medicine as unsurprising.
In 1977, I joined the laboratory of Peter C. Doherty to pursue a Ph.D. in immunology. Dr. Doherty was an Australian immunologist who along with his Swiss collaborator at the Australian National University in Canberra, Rolf Zinkernagel, discovered, in 1974 (Nature), "Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) restriction" of virus-specific cytotoxic T cells, the name for a phenomenon that distinguished how T lymphocytes recognized antigen from how B lymphocytes recognized antigen. In 1996, The Nobel Prize Committee for Physiology or Medicine acknowledged the seminal importance of the results obtained by Doherty (a holder of veterinary and graduate degrees) and Zinkernagel (a holder of medical and, ultimately, graduate degrees) (http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1996/). Specifically, these two investigators found that T cells could only recognize a viral antigen if it was associated, in some sense, with a self-MHC molecule. We now know that the antigen-specific receptors, composed of alpha chain-beta chain heterodimers, of so-called conventional T cells recognize peptide fragments from foreign (e.g. viral or bacterial) proteins that have been noncovalently associated with either class I or class II MHC molecules.
Doherty and Zinkernagel rose rapidly to prominence in the international immunology and virology communities due in part to their novel insights into how T cells recognize antigen but also because of an evolutionary argument that they made. Specifically, they suggested that MHC restriction might provide a basis for explaining the extensive genetic polymorphism (i.e. allelic diversity) at most MHC class I and class II loci through heterozygote advantage. Given the centrality of antigen-specific immune responses by T cells to a vast array of medical conditions, it would be perverse to deny that the advances associated with Doherty and Zinkernagel are highlights of evolutionary medicine.
My thesis research in the Doherty laboratory addressed an aspect of the interaction between humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to influenza A viruses. By the 1970s and early 1980's, it was clear that influenza A viruses provided powerful exemplars of rapid pathogen evolution in response to host immune responses, as exemplified by many studies such as one by Schild et al., (1974). Of necessity, I had to learn about antigenic drift and antigenic shift that respectively correspond to gradual small changes in the amino acid sequences and antigenic properties of the virion surface protein spikes, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, due primarily to point mutations, and to more dramatic changes in the amino acid sequences and antigenic properties of the virion surface proteins due primarily to recombination events. Clearly, influenza virus drift and shift, the former being associated with the need for annually updated vaccines and the latter being connected causally to influenza pandemics, represent evolutionary processes of direct relevance to clinical medicine.
Another critical aspect of my experience as a graduate student was that my closest friend in the program, Jonathan Yewdell (now at NIAID, NIH), did his thesis research on antigenic drift in influenza A viruses. His very first publication from his thesis project (Nature, 1979) used monoclonal antibodies to define the rate of occurrence of antigenic variants in hemagglutinin molecules from cloned influenza viruses and to characterize the antigenic sites, or epitopes, of these molecules. The first two sentences of the abstract demonstrate the unambiguous relevance to evolutionary medicine.
Other examples of evolutionary phenomena of clear relevance to medicine came to my attention via my interests in genetics and evolution beginning in my undergraduate years. For example, when I learned about sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies in college and medical school, I was already primed to appreciate the relevance of evolution to understanding the geographic variations in prevalences of these conditions in relation to the distribution of malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum (Allison, 1954).
None of the preceding denies that many physicians not focused on immunology, microbiology, infectious diseases, hematology, oncology, genetics, or molecular biology were largely oblivious to evolution before or even after 1991. However, within the just named medical or biomedical fields, many clinical practitioners and researchers were quite aware of the relevance of evolutionary concepts and principles to understanding various aspects of disease prevalence, pathophysiology, and treatment.
Furthermore, going back decades, any researcher working with cell lines in tissue culture or amplifying microbes in vitro confronted the occurrence of mutation and selection (i.e., evolution) whether wanted or unwanted. Those trying to genetically modify cells routinely employed mutation and selection, artificial selection, in performing experiments. In fact, attenuation of viral pathogens for the purpose of creating "live virus" vaccines represents a highly practical and obviously medical application of evolution. In my view, all of these phenomena are deserving of being included in the domain of evolutionary medicine.
So, I agree that the 1991 article in the Quarterly Review of Biology by Williams and Nesse was an important milestone in the development of the field of evolutionary medicine. Their article has played a valuable role in systematizing thinking and galvanizing interest in the field over the past 25 years. Nevertheless, it did not initiate the recognition that evolution is relevant to medicine or the active application of evolutionary notions to medicine or biomedical research for many of the people active between 1945 and 1990 in immunology, microbiology, infectious diseases, hematology, oncology, genetics, and molecular biology.
In summary, I salute Randy Nesse and others, such as Steve Stearns, who have devoted enormous time, effort, and expertise to creating a cohesive field of evolutionary medicine. Prior to 1991, and even for some time after 1991, evolutionary medicine did not exist as a distinct discipline. Even now one can raise questions about the boundaries of the field, and we still confront challenges in clearly defining its boundaries.
Looking to the future, I have argued in both public and private that the long-term viability of evolutionary medicine as a distinct discipline will depend to some degree on the investigators active in the many other medical or biomedical fields that involve evolutionary concepts, principles, and methods becoming aware of and gaining respect for the individuals who constitute ISEMPH. The members of ISEMPH will not foster such awareness and respect by ignoring a vast body of experimental, conceptual, and theoretical work that can easily be related to the interests, methods, and goals of investigators active in ISEMPH. Building connections to these other and much larger research communities seems to me to be a critical aspect of guaranteeing a vibrant future for ISEMPH.

If we Compromise on Brexit: What Was The Point?
"Parliament will block Brexit unless a compromise is reached"
It is a phrase often thrown around with impunity and on the surface it seems quite a reasonable suggestion to reach a compromise between two entrenched camps on either side of the debate but examine it deeper and you will see a flaw.
The whole reason for the EU Referendum being put to the public, was because Parliament couldn't agree on the answer. Opposing views within Westminster on our relationship with the EU made it impossible for our MP's to come to a settled consensus. As a result they agreed to ask the public to decide in what was billed as a once in a generation vote.
We voted to Leave but then the MP's who wanted to Remain, insisted that all voices must be heard and accommodated in the debate once again. That everyone should be heard and a compromise sought between Leave and Remain. Thus MP's who lost the vote have managed to drag the argument back to where it was in Westminster before they agreed to ask the public in the first place.
All of this turmoil and upset in our nation over the past few years has been for nought because frankly what was the point if at the end of the day a compromise needs to be sought?
Knowing full well that it was because a compromise couldn't be found in the first place that created the need to ask the public via the Referendum. It makes a mockery of the whole thing and is a complete affront to the concept of democracy, where Remain MP's have used Parliamentary process to paralyse the entire affair so as to render it pointless from the outset.
Knowing this and watching it unfold before our eyes, there are only two options available to the public as we watch amazed as the belief and respect for our Parliamentary process falls away. These MP's intent on preventing Brexit are either allowed to do this, in which case voting for anything in future will always be open to challenge and the entire concept of democracy and majority vote carrying sway will be destroyed forever.
Or the electorate finally stand up, face them down and insist that the majority vote is carried by whatever means available, as it is not an extremist position to want democracy and a vote respected. It is the extremist position to not to want it respected.
There is a fundamental principle at stake here, as the People in this realm through history have fought to be Sovereign and therefore by default Parliament, who are the People's Representatives assume that Sovereignty. This works fine when Parliament represents but what happens, like in this case when Parliament doesn't represent the express view of the People but seeks to impose it's own?
Parliament was designed to be the servant of the people yet today, many within it seek to become their Masters and so the question then very simply becomes,
"If that's the case, just what are you willing to do about it?"
