BACKGROUND Though uniquely placed in the health care system, GPs only become aware of a small number of children with behavioural and emotional problems. Research evaluating the challenges and barriers in general practice for identifying children with problems is therefore important. OBJECTIVES To identify and articulate GPs' experiences and perceptions of the GP-parent dialogue about childre...

Given a set of m identical bins of size 1, the online input consists of a (potentially, infinite) stream of items in (0, 1]. Each item is to be assigned to a bin upon arrival. The goal is to cover all bins, that is, to reach a situation where a total size of items of at least 1 is assigned to each bin. The cost of an algorithm is the sum of all used items at the moment when the goal is first fu...

since the late seventies the german literary scene has witnessed a rising presence of german writers of foreign extraction examining their intercultural experiences on pivotal topics like refugees, schism, alienation, identity crises, and social and cultural conflicts. this paper deals with the method of presentation of the conflicts and problems related to culture, society and identity as depi...

This study examined the link between sibling relationships and children's social adjustment by comparing twin siblings and siblings with different ages (singleton siblings}, and clarified the role of reciprocity in sibling relationships on children's social development. Mothers of 58 monozygotic twin pairs, 48 dizygotic twin pairs, and 86 singleton sibling pairs reported their children's siblin...

Inhibited attachment disordered behavior (IADB) is characterized by difficulty in establishing an attachment relationship with a primary caregiver; is associated with persistent social and emotional problems; and is observed most frequently in contexts of pathological care such as institutional rearing. Here, we seek to enhance understanding of the conditions that give rise to IADB among instit...

For a set of n points in the plane, we consider the axis–aligned (p, k)-Box Covering problem: Find p axis-aligned, pairwise-disjoint boxes that together contain at least n − k points. In this paper, we consider the boxes to be either squares or rectangles, and we want to minimize the area of the largest box. For general p we show that the problem is NP-hard for both squares and rectangles. For ...

Cooperation among genetically unrelated individuals can be supported by direct reciprocity. Theoretical models and experiments with adults show that the possibility of future interactions with the same partner can promote cooperation via conditionally cooperative strategies such as tit-for-tat (TFT). Here, we introduce a novel implementation of the repeated Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) designed for ...

We present a notion of forcing that can be used, in conjunction with other results, to show that there is a Martin-Löf random set X such that X 6≥T ∅′ and X computes every K-trivial set.

Let V be a finite set of order v. A (v,k,A.) covering design of index A. and block size k is a collection of k-element subsets, called blocks, such that every 2-subset of V occurs in at least '}.. blocks. The covering problem is to determine the minimum number of blocks, a (v, k, A.), in a covering design. It is well known that a(v,k''}..)Lr~~=~'}..ll=(v,k,A.), where rxl is the smallest integer
