Own Personal Experience (own + personal_experience)
Selected AbstractsThe APOPTOSIS of dermatopathology?JOURNAL OF CUTANEOUS PATHOLOGY, Issue 4 2003Jag Bhawan It is a privilege and an honor for me to have served as your president in this past year and to have the opportunity to address you today. In this presentation, I am using the term ,APOPTOSIS' as an acronym (Fig. 1). I do not necessarily mean to imply apoptosis here in its literal meaning; you may well infer it to be so after listening to my presentation and your own personal experience. For reasons of logic, I will not be discussing the various letters in order. Figure 1. Apoptotic cells are seen in the epidermis on the right in a patient with sunburn. Various topics under ,APOPTOSIS' are listed on the left. [source] An anthropologist in the world revolutionANTHROPOLOGY TODAY, Issue 6 2009Keith Hart Keith Hart argues that the rapid development of digital communications has triggered a world revolution that anthropologists must join. Everyone's trajectory through this transition is particular to them, so he tells the story through his own personal experience over the last two decades. He shows how a recent initiative, the Open Anthropology Cooperative, expresses the potential of our moment in history. Anthropologists have a lot to gain, professionally and as human beings, from opening up to this revolution.

Jobes Abstract Unique challenges arise for clinical researchers designing studies focused on suicidal behaviors due to the inherently high-risk nature of such research. Traditional approaches to clinical trial design are briefly discussed, highlighting the limitations and obstacles of these approaches when working with suicidal individuals. Using their own personal experiences and setbacks from an ongoing clinical suicidology research program, the authors argue for greater emphasis on effectiveness and translational research designs conducted in naturalistic clinical settings to test the practical utility of empirically-supported treatments for suicidal behaviors, to gain new perspectives on suicidal individuals, and to better understand the nature of suicidal risk. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Toro Random samples of 250,435 adults were interviewed by telephone in five different nations (N= 1,546): Belgium, Germany, Italy, the UK, and the United States. The interview included questions on respondent attitudes, knowledge, and opinions regarding homelessness; respondents' own personal experiences with homelessness and homeless people; and demographic characteristics of the respondents. The highest rates for lifetime literal homelessness were found in the UK (7.7%) and United States (6.2%), with the lowest rate in Germany (2.4%), and intermediate rates in Italy (4.0%) and Belgium (3.4%). Less compassionate attitudes toward the homeless were also found on many dimensions in the United States and the UK. Possible explanations of these findings, drawn from various theoretical perspectives, and policy implications are provided. [source] | ||||||||||
