“…These results were then standardised using the post-test pooled standard deviation. In four studies the effect sizes were calculated from other data; in Astin (1997) from the Fvalues for the difference in change in the MBSR and control group; in Cohen-Katz (2005) and Creswell (2008) from the difference in mean change between the MBSR and control group and the corresponding p-values; and in Grossman (2010) from the difference in mean change between the intervention and control group and the corresponding F-values.…”

“…The characteristics of the included studies are listed in Table 10.1 and 11.1. 20 studies recruited people with health problems: 13 of these included patients with somatic conditions (musculoskeletal disease, cancer, other chronic illness, HIV, cardiovascular disease and substance abuse (Bränström, 2010;Creswell, 2007;de Vibe, 2006;Grossman, 2010;Lengacher, 2009;Monrone, 2008;Plews-Ogan, 2008;Pradhan, 2007;Sephton, 2007;Speca, 2000;Speca, 2000;Surawy, 2005;Tacon, 2003).

Mind‐body interventions to manage stress‐related health problems are of widespread interest. One of the best known methods is mindfulness‐based stress reduction (MBSR), and MBSR courses are now offered by health services, as well as in social and welfare settings. In this systematic review, we report on the effects of MBSR interventions on health, quality of life, and social functioning. From the more than 3,000 potentially relevant references identified in two extensive searches, we included 31 relevant studies with an overall total of 1,942 participants, each of whom had been randomised to receive MBSR or other treatment strategies (most often a waiting list control). We utilised all outcome data published in the selected studies using a new statistical method for calculating the effect size. This method addressed the problems presented by the interdependence of many measurements of outcomes. 26 of the 31 studies were identified as having data suitable for meta‐analysis. MBSR was found to have a moderate and consistent positive effect on mental health outcomes in both patients selected with somatic problems and with mild to moderate psychological problems, and among participants recruited from community settings. MBSR interventions improved outcomes measuring different aspects of personal development and quality of life. The effects on somatic health outcomes were somewhat smaller. No adverse effects were described. Few studies were found that evaluated the impact of MBSR on social functioning, such as the ability to work.

“…This theory proposes that life exists throughout the Universe and is widely distributed in the form of germs or spores [9]. Panspermia does not address the origin of life per se but the method that may have caused its sustenance [10]. According to the theory of panspermia, life such as extremophilic archaea that can survive the effects of space get trapped in the debris of cometary materials such as meteoroids, asteroids and planetoids [9].…”

“…According to the theory of panspermia, life such as extremophilic archaea that can survive the effects of space get trapped in the debris of cometary materials such as meteoroids, asteroids and planetoids [9]. These micro-organisms remain dormant in this debris until they come in contact with ideal conditions on a new planet's surfaces when these micro-organisms become active and start replicating [10].…”

The Role of Viruses and Viral Infections in the Theory of Panspermia

Panspermia is an ancient idea that supports the existence of life throughout the Universe. Panspermia proposes that life that can survive the effects of space get distributed in all habitable and non-habitable planets by meteoroids, asteroids and planetoids across the Universe. Extremophilic microorganisms known to survive and thrive in extreme conditions on earth also pose a possibility of existing in other parts of universe delivered by comets or asteroids. Viruses, being simple organisms, are also capable of such survival and journeys across space. Viruses are known to be mobile genetic elements and install new genes into their host cells supporting the evolutionary mechanism. This article illustrates the role of viruses and viral infections in the theory of panspermia by examples of horizontal gene transfer, influenza virus and SARS.

“…A SSMID should incorporate the interests of business, government, and the general public in the way it operates; SSMIDs that seek to be independent of outside influences are perceived to be less effective. 2 Clearly defined operational roles are an important aspect of creating an efficient and effective SSMID.…”

Like residential structures, non-profit organizations are exempt from the SSMID levy. However, in many cases, non-profit organizations located in or near the SSMID provide voluntary contributions because they benefit from the services that the SSMID provides. It is important to assess the involvement and interest of the non-profit organizations within the proposed boundary to determine whether it is appropriate to approach the non-profit about voluntary contributions. Other properties that are tax exempt, such as government-owned and vacant land, should comprise a small portion of the total parcels included within the boundary.
