Few instruments have been designed to collect systematically the complaints of patients with schizophrenia. We present a work in progress on the Subjective Scale to Investigate Cognition in Schizophrenia (SSTICS), a 21-item, Likert-type scale that is simple and easy to use. It allows a quantitative approach to the subjective and cognitive dimensions of schizophrenia. Stip constructed the scale based on a questionnaire covering several cognitive domains: memory (working memory, explicit long-term memory), attention (divided, distractibility, alertness, sustained), language, and praxia.
Nigerian Dwarf Goat. Range: They are found world-wide, but originated in West Africa. Habitat: They are domestic and kept in captivity. Physical Characteristics: Full-grown animals range from 16-21 inches tall at the withers for does and 23.5 inches tall at the withers for bucks. They weigh an average of 60-80 pounds and come in a variety of colors. Nigerian Dwarf Goats are ideally supposed to look like small dairy goats.
Puberty is from 4 to 12 months (females between 7-10 months and males 4 to 8 months). The natural life expectancy for goats is around 8 to 12 years and in some cases, goats can live over 15 years.Dwarf does can have several kids at a time, 3 and 4 being common with some quintuplet births occurring.any owners breed their does three times in two years, giving the doe at least a 6-month break. Of course, this is a personal choice for each breeder. The gestation period (or length of pregnancy) for a doe is 145 to 153 days. For the most part, Nigerian Dwarfs are a hearty breed with few kidding problems.
