TL;DR: Although there was a significant relationship between social support and CSE, the indirect conditional effect of received social support on PTG was not confirmed and results were obtained across the indices of PTG, controlling for the level of exposure to hurricane-related trauma.
Abstract: The study tested the model of adaptation after trauma by Benight and Bandura (2004) indicating that posttraumatic recovery may be predicted directly by coping self-efficacy (CSE) and indirectly by social support. These relations were investigated in the context of posttraumatic growth (PTG) among Hurricane Katrina survivors living with HIV. Additionally, it was hypothesized that among individuals with more intensive Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms, those with strong CSE would experience the strongest PTG. Cross-sectional data were collected among 90 patients with HIV who reinitiated care at the HIV outpatient clinic. Questionnaires were administered approximately 14 months after the hurricane. Higher CSE was related to higher PTG among the survivors who suffered from more intensive PTSD symptoms. Received social support was directly related to only one index of PTG, relating to others. Furthermore, although there was a significant relationship between social support and CSE, the indirect conditional effect of received social support on PTG was not confirmed. Similar results were obtained across the indices of PTG, controlling for the level of exposure to hurricane-related trauma. Cross-sectional design and convenience character of the sample warrants replications.

TL;DR: The research design and methodology that were employed by the Best International Human Resource Management Practices Project are described and examined, including the design and dissemination of the questionnaire and related data collection issues.
Abstract: The goal of this article is to describe and examine the research design and methodology that were employed by the Best International Human Resource Management Practices Project. The article briefly addresses the origins and goal of the project, including the research questions that the study was attempting to address. The methodology used for collecting the project's data is then presented, including the design and dissemination of the questionnaire and related data collection issues. Implications of the project's research design for interpretation of results, and for influencing the design and management of effective international human resource management practices, are discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TL;DR: A pulsed Raman laser at 1193 nm based on synthetic diamond crystals with a record output power of 24.5 W and a slope efficiency of 57%.
Abstract: We report a pulsed Raman laser at 1193 nm based on synthetic diamond crystals with a record output power of 24.5 W and a slope efficiency of 57%. We compared the performance of an anti-reflection coated crystal at normal incidence with a Brewster cut sample. Raman oscillation was achieved at both room temperature and under cryogenic operation at 77 K. Modeling of these experiments allowed us to confirm the value of Raman gain coefficient of diamond, which was found to be 13.5 ± 2.0 cm/GW for a pump wavelength of 1030 nm.

TL;DR: In all cases, the direction of the changes in health status indicated impairment of quality of life, particularly in ability to perform normal physical roles, and these outcomes should be incorporated into clinical trials, effectiveness research, and therapeutic strategies.
Abstract: Health care delivery is increasingly driven by results of outcomes studies. The best single instrument or combination of instruments for measurement of outcome in patients with symptoms of rhinitis has not been determined. The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), a generic instrument, and the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ), a disease-specific instrument, have both been used. We carried out a population-based study in 312 subjects with nasal/ocular symptoms who filled out both questionnaires. We then compared their responses with those of healthy controls. Statistically significant differences between patients and controls were observed in seven of nine dimensions in the SF-36 questionnaire and in all of the seven dimensions and the aggregate score of the RQLQ. In all cases, the direction of the changes in health status indicated impairment of quality of life, particularly in ability to perform normal physical roles. Patients were troubled by repeated nose blowing, had a disrupted sleep pattern, were fatigued, and had a reduced ability to concentrate. We conclude that these outcomes should be incorporated into clinical trials, effectiveness research, and therapeutic strategies.
