A Bizarre Property Equivalent to the -Fan Theorem

It is shown, with intuitionistic logic, that if every locallyconstant function from to has a property akinto constancy, then the fan theorem for -bars holds, and conversely.     

‘With healing in her wings…’: Integration and repair in a self-destructive adolescent

This paper describes certain Jungian concepts related to integration and repair. Fundamental to this is Jung's concept of the self, which Fordham has made the basis of his model of development. To Jung's notion of the self as an integrator and organizer of experience, Fordham has added the idea that the self divides up, or deintegrates. Three corollaries of Fordham's model, pertaining to whole and part objects and the depressive position, are amplified through infant studies.

Clinical material from the treatment of a pigeon-phobic adolescent is presented, which attempts to demonstrate that a significant part of what the phobia represented was an infantile state of projective and introjective identification with an anxious mother. Treatment facilitated actions of the self that contributed to the integration of the experiences represented by the pigeons, so that what had been split off became a deintegrate capable of being reintegrated.

The focus of this paper is on the developmental as well as the pathological. Both are conceived in relation to the treatment.     

Origin of the initial rapid age hardening in an Al-1.7 at.% Mg-1.1 at.% Cu alloy

The origin of the rapid hardening which occurs during the initial ageing stage of an Al-1.7 at.% Mg-1.1 at.% Cu alloy has been investigated by the threedimensional atom-probe (3DAP) and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Although the rapid hardening reaction occurs within 1 min at 150 degrees C, no evidence for solute clusters or Guinier-Preston-Bagaryatsky (GPB) zones was detected using the 3DAP after this ageing time. When a short-term aged specimen is deformed and then aged at 150 degrees C, further rapid hardening occurs. This suggests that the rapid hardening is associated with a solutedislocation interaction. Uniform dispersions of Cu-Mg co-clusters do not occur until closer to the end of the hardness plateau and it is thought that these evolve into GPB zones during the second stage of the age-hardening process.     

To adjust or not adjust: Nonparametric effect sizes,confidence intervals,and real-world meaning

ObjectivesThe main objectives of this article are to: (a) investigate if there are any meaningful differences between adjusted and unadjusted effect sizes (b) compare the outcomes from parametric and non-parametric effect sizes to determine if the potential differences might influence the interpretation of results, (c) discuss the importance of reporting confidence intervals in research, and discuss how to interpret effect sizes in terms of practical real-world meaning.DesignReview.MethodA review of how to estimate and interpret various effect sizes was conducted. Hypothetical examples were then used to exemplify the issues stated in the objectives.ResultsThe results from the hypothetical research designs showed that: (a) there is a substantial difference between adjusted and non-adjusted effect sizes especially in studies with small sample sizes, and (b) there are differences in outcomes between the parametric and non-parametric effect size formulas that may affect interpretations of results.ConclusionsThe different hypothetical examples in this article clearly demonstrate the importance of treating data in ways that minimize potential biases and the central issues of how to discuss the meaningfulness of effect sizes in research.
