The incidence of epistaxis admissions to hospital and their relationship to ambient temperature is examined. A retrospective analysis of 1211 patients with epistaxis sufficiently severe to warrant hospital admission was performed over a period of 1836 consecutive days. Daily average temperature data for this time-period were examined and compared with admission rates. A marked increase in hospital attendance was apparent during colder days. Patients were admitted at a rate of 0.829 patients per day for temperatures less than 5 degrees C, (95% Confidence Interval: 0.737-0.928), compared with 0.645 patients per day for temperatures between 5.1 and 10 degrees C, (95% 0.586-0.708). On average the population of epistaxis patients attended on days that were 0.6 degree C colder (95% Confidence Interval: 0.2 degree C-0.9 degree C) than the average temperature for the time examined (P < 0.005, student's t-test).
The quality of the attachment relationship between mother and infant is typically determined in the Strange Situation. The assignments of infants to the A (avoidant), B (secure), and C (resistant) attachment classes are largely but not exclusively based on measurements during the reunion episodes. In this paper, the measurements in the reunion episodes are used to derive a clustering of the infants via three-way mixture method of clustering, a technique especially designed for clustering three-way mixture method of clustering, a technique especially designed for clustering three-way data (here: infants, variables and episodes). The results are compared with the A-B-C classification, and the relevance of the outcomes for attachment research are discussed. At the same time, the paper aims to demonstrate the use and usefulness of the three-way clustering procedure for data from the social and behavioural sciences.
Many of the recent studies reporting genetic linkages for mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and manic depression have been retracted. The authors of this article argue that the fundamental reason for the difficulties in this research field lies in the strongly held preconceived belief that the primary cause of these illnesses is in fact genetic. All scientists hold preconceived ideas. However, such ideas are more likely to result in erroneous conclusions in the study of human behavior than in other more 'objective' research areas. Moreover, it is especially important that researchers studying human behavior be aware of their biases and learn to compensate for them because of the social consequences of their work.
