The influence of traditional values of education of Greek students' real and ideal self-concepts.

Students' real and ideal self-concepts were studied with respect to their acceptance or rejection of the traditional values of Greek education. The relationship between the real and the ideal components of self-concept was also examined. A sample of Athenian students who answered a questionnaire accepted most of the traditional values of education. The students' internalization of such values predicted their moderately satisfied real self-concepts and their extremely developed ideal self-concepts, which symbolized their hopes and ambitions for academic achievement. The factor-analyzed items of self-concept revealed a disparity between the real and the ideal components of the participants' self-concepts.

Primary malignant mesodermal ovarian sarcomas.

Primary malignant mesodermal ovarian sarcomas are rare tumors and have a poor prognosis. The disease is usually diagnosed at a late stage and 5-year survivals are uncommon. Most patients are treated with debulking surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. We report ten patients treated at a single institution. All patients underwent surgery and 90% received adjuvant chemotherapy. The median survival was 20 months, and only one patient survived beyond 5 years. Newer treatment strategies are urgently needed in the management of this disease.
