Crée en 1997, le Pôle de soutien Psychologique de la SNCF accompagne les agents de l'entreprise confrontés à des drames humains (suicides, accidents mortels) ou à des actes violents.

AbstractBasic aspects in the handling of fatty acid-data have remained largely underexposed. Of these, we aimed to address three statistical methodological issues, by quantitatively exemplifying their imminent confounding impact on analytical outcomes: (1) presenting results as relative percentages or absolute concentrations, (2) handling of missing/non-detectable values, and (3) using structural indices for data-reduction. Therefore, we reanalyzed an example dataset containing erythrocyte fatty acid-concentrations of 137 recurrently depressed patients and 73 controls.

Der entscheidende Begriff ist also nicht Stabilisierung, sondern Stabilität. In diesem Beitrag werden die historischen Hintergründe in der Auseinandersetzung mit Konzepten der Stabilisierung und Konfrontation beschrieben.
