Abstract

This paper describes a structured course for teaching interviewing which focuses on the interaction between the patient and the practitioner. Three main areas of learning were selected because of their universal application: relationship, communication, and feelings. Theoretical material is related to positive and negative interactions with patients, and these are described behaviorally in a checklist form. The development of good interviewing techniques consists of increasing the positive interactions and learning to use them as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Different methods are utilized to help students apply these skills in clinical situations. Although this course was developed for a specific group of pediatric practitioners, it can be utilized by all types of health care professionals.

The inversion In(2L)t impacts complex, environmentally sensitive behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetic variation in behavioral traits allows organisms to respond and adapt to environmental challenges. Genetic variation in behavior is often affected by many genes and thus has a complex genetic basis. Inversions, the reorientation of genes along the chromosome, tightly link genetic variants together because they suppress recombination. Therefore, inversions are believed to have a major impact on phenotypic variation because they combine the effects of multiple genes, which can pleiotropically alter multiple aspects of behavior. This study investigates how the inversion In(2L)t, found in Drosophila melanogaster populations around the world, impacts different aspects of behavior in an environment-sensitive manner. We test the activity, foraging, and startle-induced behavior of flies with different In(2L)t genotypes across sex and temperatures. We observe that Drosophila homozygous for In(2L)t sleep less frequently, spend more time away from a food source, and have a longer duration of startle response. Additionally, the impacts of In(2L)t on aspects of behavior can be sex-specific and are largely consistent across temperatures. Taken together, our research demonstrates that inversions can regulate aspects of behavior, and suggests hypotheses explaining the distribution of In(2L)t across space and time.
