The traditional PK study volunteer study in healthy children has proved very hard to set up, because of the attitude of many parents and overviewing independent review boards (IRBs). Even in pediatric patients, the frequency and total volume requirements for samples for conventional PK studies can cause the same refusals. However, there are pediatric research units that specialize in these studies, with minimum needle sticks, minute blood volumes and IRBs sympathetic to the needs of the pediatric community. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development has set up a network of pediatric pharmacology units , usually in academic regional centers, now...

The overview of characteristics of the various propositional attitudes clearly shows that there are important differences between the attitudes. Belief-based attitudes B, K, OU, EU and DB aim at truth, either an absolute truth as in K or a subjective truth as in B, OU, EU or DB, whereas the attitude of acceptance does not involve a reference to any truth per se.

The worst nuclear power plant accident occurred at the Chemobyl-4 plant in the Soviet Union. A remarkable series of events began on April 25, 1986 and continued over several days, resulting in more than 30 deaths and 237 injuries from radiation exposure, as well as massive contamination of wide geographical areas. The radiation released was measurable over much of the globe. A combination of human errors, design errors, and complacency contributed to the accident. In many ways, the attitude toward nuclear safety in the Soviet Union was similar to the pre-TMI attitude in the United States. This section provides a brief overview of the Chernobyl reactor design, a description of the sequence of events leading to the accident, and a discussion of the relevance of the accident to U.S. plants. 

In contrast, the investigation of variables, such as attitudes and personality factors, (e.g. extraversion/introversion, emotional stability, and cognitive and psychomotor abilities) have not led to a uniform pattern of the accident-liable individual. Inventories such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), or projective procedures could not differentiate between individuals with or without an accident record. In an overview on the importance of personality factors for traffic accidents, McGuire (1976) reached the conclusion that traffic accidents are indicative of the following characteristics emotional instability, unhappiness, anti-social tendencies.
