Quality control of commercial mustard by thin-layer chromatography

2005

Horseradish samples ( Cochlearis armoracia L. ) and mustard samples ( Sinapis alba L. ) were extracted with 70:30 ( v/v ) methanol-water in accordance with ISO method 91671. Samples of commercial mustard with and without horseradish were submitted to the same extraction procedure. Separation of the active compounds from these samples were performed on silica gel 60 plates with preconcentration zone and on silica gel F 254 high-performance thin-layer chromatography plates, with iso -propanol-25% ammonia, 90 + 10 ( v/v ), containing different volumes of distilled water (1, 2, 3, or 5 parts), as mobile phases. After development the compounds were visualized in UV light at λ = 254 nm or by expo…

Conscious and unconscious identification of female anorectic patients in in-patient psychotherapy

2009

Women are up to ten times more likely to develop anorexia nervosa (AN) than men. Psychoanalytic explanations of this disparity generally emphasize female identification problems due to unresolved conflicts with maternal representations. Based on clinical observation, we identify a subtype of AN patients characterized, first, by consistent idealization of the father who needs the patient for the fulfilment of his own narcissistic needs and, second, by the patient's need to be idealized by the father due to suffering in connection with early emotional malnutrition on the part of the mother. To illustrate this hypothesis, we present the case of a well-educated young woman displaying unconsciou…

Does mindfulness-, acceptance-, and value-based intervention alleviate burnout? : A person-centered approach

2019

This study investigated individual differences in changes in burnout symptoms during a brief mindfulness-, acceptance-, and value-based intervention. It also studied whether the changes in burnout were simultaneous with the changes in mindfulness skills. The role of practices and learning experiences in these changes were investigated. The participants were employees of various occupations (n = 105, 80% women, Mage = 48 years). Latent profile analysis was used to investigate the associations between burnout and mindfulness skills during the intervention and a 4-month follow-up period. Six distinct profiles were found that differed in levels and changes of both burnout and mindfulness skills…

“Selling” chronic pain: physiotherapists’ lived experiences of communicating the diagnosis of chronic nonspecific lower back pain to their patients

2019

Introduction: Chronic nonspecific lower back pain (CNSLBP) is a common musculoskeletal condition which can be a source of significant distress and disability for patients. Approaches to managing CNSLBP have been explored in healthcare literature, as has the importance of communication in physiotherapy practice. However, no previous studies have explored clinicians’ experiences of communicating their understanding of this diagnosis to their patients. Methods: A qualitative research design, using hermeneutic phenomenological methodology, was employed. Five participants were purposively recruited for the research and data collected via semi-structured interviews. Interpretative phenomenologica…

Increasing responsibility, safety, and trust through a dialogical approach: A case study in couple therapy for psychological abusive behavior

2014

This article reports an analysis of conjoint therapy for psychological intimate partner violence, treated via a dialogical approach. The article reviews current controversies surrounding this treatment modality and its outcome. The dialogical approach is presented as an appropriate method for analyzing and understanding the issue of violence, but it is emphasized that the focus on communication does not involve a return to a systemic perspective on intimate partner violence. Four important dimensions are identified as emerging in conjoint treatment for psychological intimate partner violence, namely responsibility, safety, trust, and the role of the therapists. The Dialogical Investigations…

Psychoanalytically-Oriented Inpatient Psychotherapy of Somatoform Disorders

2008

Somatoform disorders have been neglected in psychoanalytic publications. Unlike the descriptive approach of DSM-IV and ICD-10, sophisticated psychoanalytical models have been proposed for many years explaining the development of physical symptoms without definable medical cause. Based on a review of the psychoanalytic models of somatization and conversion, this article explores difficulties in the medical and psychotherapeutic treatments of somatoform disorders. The unique tradition of psychosomatic inpatient treatment in Germany is illustrated by the psychoanalytic treatment setting at the University of Mainz. A case report of a somatoform patient shows how childhood trauma is activated an…

Die Wirkung unterschiedlicher Lichtintensitäten während der Anzucht auf die CO2-Kompensationslage, die Glykolsäure-Oxidase- und Ribulosebiphosphat-Ca…

1978

Summary Sinapis alba (white mustard) plants were grown under conditions of strong (100 W · m -2 ) and weak (3 W · m -2 ) light and the effect of the light intensity during growth on the CO 2 -compensation point and the activities of glycolic acid oxidase and ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase were studied. The CO 2 -compensation concentration was determined according to two methods: firstly in a closed system with an infrared CO 2 -analyzer, and secondly according to the curve of net photosynthesis as a function of C0 2 -concentration over the range of 400 vpm CO 2 to the CO 2 -compensation point (Fig. 4). The intensity of light during growth was observed to exert an unmistakable effect on t…

An introduction to the cognitive therapy of evaluation-[1]

1991

Abstract This paper introduces a new cognitive therapy which is evolving from the theoretical background of general semantics theory. This therapy is being tested since 1985 with several samples, the results being favorable and promising. Nevertheless, only its theoretical rational and clinical background will be introduced. Subsequently, the cognitive therapy of evaluation will be defined, and its main therapeutic ingredients described; finally, its differences and similarities with current cognitive therapies will be highlighted.
