Child focus is a central construct within Bowen family systems theory (Bowen theory). A clinical implication that mental health treatment focusing on child may unwittingly reinforce the operation of child-focused processes, which undermine rather than enhance well-being. The concept in presents significant implications for professionals working school settings and fields such as children's heal...

The Japanese approach to manage ment has been analyzed in a number of books and articles, including the best-seller Theory Z by William Ouchi (1981), subtitled "How American Business Can Meet the Japa nese Challenge." Ouchi advances The ory Z as a management style that not only yields greater productivity and prof itability, but also higher degrees of worker satisfaction, company loyalty, and p...

Given a C2− Anosov diffeomorphism f:M→M, we prove that the Jacobian condition Jfn(p)=1, for every point p such fn(p)=p, implies transitivity. As application in celebrated theory of Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen, this result allows us to state classical theorem Livsic-Sinai without directly assuming transitivity as general hypothesis. A special consequence our is C2-Anosov diffeomorphism, which regular, in...

A class of vacuum initial-data sets is described which are based on certain expressions for the extrinsic curvature first studied and employed by Bowen and York. These expressions play a role for the momentum constraint of General Relativity which is analogous to the role played by the Coulomb solution for the Gauss-law constraint of electromagnetism.

Il s'agit d'un patient de 59 ans, qui présentait de multiples lésions génitales évoluant depuis 2 ans. L'examen a objectivé 2 tumeurs verruqueuses superficielles, à bordure pigmentée et à surface végétante, siégeant respectivement au niveau sus-pubien et sur le pli inguinal droit; une macule pigmentée hétérogène au niveau hypogastrique, et de multiples plaques noirâtres homogènes à surface verr...

The anonymous text Ventorum situs et nomina, once held to be by Aristotle himself, gives the local names of 10 topic winds as well their directions. It is not an elaboration wind-rose that Aristotle, for example, describes in Meteor. 2.5, though many scholars have assumed this, but a presentation weather-map inhabited world (οἰκουμένη). What seems important author collecting under so much direc...

Linear porokeratosis is a genodermatosis, caused by a clonal proliferation of keratinocytes along the lines of Blaschko. This type of porokeratosis is particularly susceptible to malignant degeneration e.g. to Bowen disease, a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ with the potential for significant lateral spread. Here we report a case of linear porokeratosis on the left leg of a 56-year-old ma...
