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.
The goats showing the most dairy character were used by a handful of dedicated breeders to develop a new breed, the Nigerian Dwarf. The two ladies we believe to be responsible for the development of the Nigerian Dwarf, are Kathleen Clapp of Goodwood Farms and Sharla Parker of Willows herd name.
