Dissociative amnesia could be differentiated according to the degree and timeframe of impairment (global versus selective, anterograde versus retrograde) of autobiographical- episodic memory and the co-existence of deficits in autobiographical-semantic memory and general semantic knowledge. The most frequent types of dissociative amnesias are retrograde, a fact that is in fact captured by the diagnostic criteria of DSM-IV-TR (2000). The latter distinguishes between localized amnesia, selective amnesia, generalized amnesia, continuous amnesia and systematized amnesia. ...

Acupuncture is growing in popularity world-wide. Since it started to be scientifically studied in the 1970’s, acupuncture is conquering position as an efficient and safe therapeutic method. The amount of cumulated scientific evidence is already enough to guarantee a highly detached status for acupuncture among other complementary therapies. In many countries, acupuncture is well integrated into the conventional health system. This scenario would seem to be very favorable and the value of acupuncture would thus seem well consolidated.

However, there is no study to date that examines the informational efficiency of the secondary market for loans relative to the market for bonds of the same corporation, largely due to the unavailability (at least until now) of secondary market prices of loans. Our study fills this gap in the literature. Specifically, we examine, using a unique dataset of secondary market daily prices of loans from November 1, 1999 through July 31, 2002, whether the loan market is informationally more efficient than the bond market. Given the nature of our sample period (i.e.

The goal of the conference was to share lessons learned in Africa about men’s participation in reproductive health in order to develop new or enhance existing approaches for French- speaking African countries. Men in French-speaking African countries play key roles in reproductive health, whether as individual family members or as decision-makers at com- munity and national levels. Most service delivery and information campaigns, however, focus on women.

The liberalisation of the services sector has been a controversial and much debated issue in the WTO. As we know, the developed countries are the main suppliers of services, although the developing countries are starting to shift towards a service-sector economy. According to data from Stiglitz and Charlton (2005), trade liberalisation of services would generate profits of US$375 billion per year, in other words 75% of a full liberalisation of goods and services. In addition, 75% of the profits from service trade liberalisation would go to the developed countries.

When mothers and their children are separated, mothers may not see their children again or may lose track of them. Sometimes this is due to the costs involved in arranging their visits to the prison. Other times it is because the mother rejects the relatives taking care of the children or because the mother has lost custody of the child (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2008). These mental and developmental problems tend to stay with children throughout their lives.

Starch- and plant-protein-based glues, for example, do not have the strength of petrochemical-derived superglues. On the other hand, plant-derived chemicals have unique advantages for other uses. Recombinant proteins, for example, can be designed and produced in plants to provide tissue glues analogous to the fibrinogen that naturally forms around a flesh wound. Emerging technologies offer dramatic new capabilities to alter plant metabolic pathways, opening up unprecedented opportunities to produce high-value chemicals from renewable resources....

In a number of developing countries, obesity currently affects all income groups of adult men and women, but it is rapidly increasing among poor urban populations.

It enables the patient to be fully engaged in this difficult decision making process. A negative consequence is the generation of a population of patients who may be described as the “worried well” i.e. men with a slightly raised PSA who have either decided not to have a biopsy or who have had negative biopsies but who still have concerns that they might harbour prostate cancer. A number of pre-biopsy nomograms for prostate cancer risk assessment have been developed by a number of groups to predict the risk of prostate cancer on biopsy and its potential for progression.

We value stock options based on the Black-Scholes (1973) formula for valuing European call options, as modified by Merton (1973). 5 To construct a measure of the total stock option holdings of each CEO at a given point in time, we use proxy data on stock option grants, gains from exercising stock options, and the total number of stock options held by the CEO. Annual proxies contain information on options granted during the preceding fiscal year, including the number, duration, and exercise price of the options.

If the HIV/AIDS pandemic is to be halted, the international community must, for a start, deliver on the promise of universal education. But it must go further than the imperative of equal access to education and ensure equal quality in the process, content and experience of education. While access to, and the availability of, life skills classes are important to stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS, so too is a school environment that is child-friendly, models equality and fairness, and protects the rights of all children equally (see Box 3, page 11 and Chapter 4, page 18).
