- - This study assessed 48 soybean resources from 2020 to compare their physiological activities and isoflavone compounds with those harvested in 2019, focusing on the effects of cultivation year and seed coat color.

Int J Psychiatry Med
November 2013
Objective: This study examined whether coercive measures or perceived coercion experienced by mentally disabled patients in the hospitalization process could be justified under paternalism. To find out whether coercion can be justified by paternalism, a year of follow-up research was conducted to examine the impact of coercive measures and perceived coercion experienced during hospitalization on the patients' therapeutic benefit.
Methods: A 6-month period and a 1-year period of follow-up research was conducted with 266 patients to assess whether the coercion they experienced during hospitalization (coercive measures and perceived coercion) had an effect on changing the patients' mental symptoms and insight.
