The first chapter reviews the significance of the issue in the context of the historical and economic developments in which postwar immigration has assumed its familiar dimensions. The second section discusses the effects of immigrant-related crime on the security and prosperity of Germany and the failures of the German policies and German government to integrate the immigrants fully into German society. The third chapter analyzes immigrant-related economic crime and its effects on German economic prosperity. Section IV addresses the effects of German immigration policies on violent crime against immigrants in Germany, as it engenders feeling of attack among immigrants facing what appears to be resurgent German chauvinism. The final chapter offers a summary of German governmental and multilateral actions that address immigrant-related crime and recommendations for future coordination of immigration policies to enhance security in Europe through cooperation of governments and European security institutions. This thesis concludes coordinated cooperative measures can provide the lasting framework for the integration of immigrants. 15. NUMBER OF PAGES 123

Participants included 5 Black music therapy students with at least one semester of supervised fieldwork. Recruitment occurred through varied methods utilizing professional networks and snowballing. Data included written survey responses and individual interviews. Utilizing a thematic analysis approach, researchers reviewed that each participant’s dataset generated preliminary codes. Next, researchers grouped codes and compared groupings across datasets. Researchers reached an agreement on 7 themes. Theme 1 addressed the immense vulnerability it takes for Black students to discuss race in and out of supervision. Theme 2 described defensive behaviors from white supervisors, staff members, and peers in response to discussing race. Theme 3 revealed the significance of validating that racism happens to Black students. Theme 4 noted the power supervisors wield ov...

This study assessed and compared articles published in high-impact general medical and specialized journals. Methods: Reports of RCTs published in high-impact general and specialized medical journals were identified through a search of MEDLINE from January to March of 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010. Articles that provided original data on adult patients diagnosed with chronic conditions were included in the study. Data on trial characteristics, reporting of allocation concealment, quality score, and the presence of a trial flow diagram were extracted independently by two reviewers, and discrepancies were resolved by consensus or independent adjudication. Descriptive statistics were used for quantitative variables. Comparisons between general medical and specialized journals, and trends over time were performed using Chisquare tests. Results: Reports of 284 trials were analyzed. There was a significantly higher proportion of RCTs published with adequate reporting of allocation concealment (p = 0.003), presentation of a trial flow diagram (p,0.0001) and high quality scores (p = 0.038) over time. Trials published in general medical journals had higher quality scores than those in specialized journals (p = 0.001), reported adequate allocation concealment more often (p = 0.013), and presented a trial flow diagram more often (p,0.001). Interpretation: We found significant improvements in reporting quality of RCTs published in high-impact factor journals over the last fifteen years. These improvements are likely attributed to concerted international efforts to improve reporting quality such as CONSORT. There is still much room for improvement, especially among specialized journals.

Despite the fact that Afro and Mestizo Mexicans are both phenotypically and culturally distinct from one another, they assert a shared racial identity as minorities and as Latinos. On the basis of ethnographic field work in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, I argue that their perceived similarities with African Americans and pervasive discrimination owing to status drives Afro-Mexicans to assert a race-based Latino identity that is shaped by their understanding of African American experiences.

The cell line grows with a pleomorphic morphology and has been in continuous culture for more than 3 years. The cells cannot be cloned in semi‐solid agar or grown in nude mice despite numerous attempts. The karyotype of the cultured cells is highly abnormal with a large number of structural and numerical changes. Some chromosomes are dicentric and this feature has persisted in this culture. The cells express one of the small‐intestinal dipeptidases, amino‐peptidase N, but do not express dipeptidyl peptidase IV or the disaccharidases, sucrase isomaltase or maltase glucoamylase. The cells express high levels of EGF receptors and of messenger RNA for insulin‐like growth factor II.

The patients' recall of events related to their admission to the ICU was generally poor, and 41% of them felt that they had been confused at some time during their stay though much of this seems to have passed unnoticed by the nursing staff. Lack of sleep was a problem to about a quarter of the patients and 75% of these thought that the inability to lie comfortably was a factor preventing sleep. Other factors included pain, anxiety and noise. The patients seemed satisfied whilst in the ICU, and less than half said they were pleased to return to a general ward.

A quantitative survey of a single cohort as the first of a two phase mixed methods study. One hundred and thirty-one adults with a TBI were recruited through eight rural brain injury rehabilitation programmes in NSW. These adults completed a range of survey instruments, including the POPS. The POPS measure supported findings from other research that identified varying impacts of TBI. However, in contrast to other studies, there was no correlation between participation scores and age, gender, time since injury and severity of injury. The findings from this study suggest that the issue of participation of adults with TBI living in non-metropolitan areas needs to be further researched.

Those with a traumatic brain injury are one such group who may survive for several decades with significant health consequences including physical, cognitive, and psychosocial sequelae. Traumatic brain injury sufferers are typically young males with a premorbid history of risk taking. Consequently, the differential needs of female traumatic brain injury survivors are less likely to be acknowledged in the literature or by allied health workers. A large quantitative and qualitative study of people with traumatic brain injury was conducted in rural areas of New South Wales, Australia in 2004–2005. The qualitative component of the study included in-depth interviews with 11 women and 21 men. This paper focuses on the interviews with the 11 women who live in two rural areas of New South Wales. These data illustrate the psychosocial consequences of traumatic brain injury for women. They reveal that women are particularly vulnerable to isolation, disempowerment, and in extreme cases, abuse, and are less likely to have a carer. The need for gender to be a factor in ongoing social work and allied health treatment and support of traumatic brain injury sufferers and their carers is evident from this research.
