For the past 13 years he worked in the New York energy efficiency industry holding such roles as the Director of Sales for UtiliSave, and President and Founder
of EE Reports, a company that helps facility managers and building owners discover new energy efficiency measures.
This article aims to assess whether the concept
of EE is a useful and valid measure of the quality of professional caregiver and patient relationships, given that staff may be less emotionally invested in relationships than relatives.
However, there were no associations between categorical measures
of EE and outcomes or between patient EE ratings on the FMSS and outcomes, or between EE and staff movement within the service or changes in role.
The Levels of Expressed Emotion Scale (LEES34) is a questionnaire measure designed to assess patients» perceptions
of EE.
The majority
of EE measures have assessed EE from the perspectives of staff members, but there is some evidence to suggest that patients are sensitive to staff criticism and hostility.
The Perceived Criticism Scales (PCS35) and Adjectives Checklist (ACL36) are simple Likert measures
of EE, which have both carer and patient versions.
If EE status is to provide a valid measure
of EE in staff - patient relationships, it should be associated the important outcome of relapse.
Many staff may also have limited training and supervision in working with people with complex needs.8 Over the past 2 decades, there has been a growth of studies investigating the measurement and correlates
of EE in staff and patient relationships, although there is still very limited research testing interventions to reduce staff high EE.
Unlike relatives, professional caregivers may also be more guarded in responses, resulting in lower expressions of negative affect on measures
of EE.
Where there was disagreement in studies investigating rates
of EE on the CFI and the FMSS, EE was rated as higher on the FMSS, as only one critical comment is needed for a high EE classification on the FMSS, whereas 6 or more are needed on the CFI.12, 26 Conversely, research with relatives suggests that the FMSS is a more conservative measure of high EE compared with the CFI.
There were also no changes in patient ratings
of EE on the LEES.
As will be discussed further below, the positive vs neutral relationship distinction on the FMSS may provide an even more sensitive measure of relationship quality than EE dimensions on the CFI or other measures
of EE.
To more fully address the question of the predictive validity
of EE, we conducted a meta - analysis of all available EE and outcome studies in schizophrenia.
Interrater reliability was assessed by computing intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for each component scales
of EE on 8 randomly selected interviews.
The most frequently used measure
of EE was the Camberwell Family Interview (CFI18), which was used in 12 studies; followed by the Five - Minute Speech Sample (FMSS19), which was used in 9 studies.
However, in recent years some prominent nonreplications
of the EE - relapse relationship have been published.
We also examined the predictive validity
of the EE construct for mood disorders and eating disorders.
Items are based on 4 correlates
of EE: instrusiveness; emotional response; attitude toward illness; and tolerance and expectations of the patient.
The article aims to assess whether the concept
of EE is a useful and valid measure of the quality of professional caregiver and patient relationships, given that staff may be less emotionally invested in relationships than relatives.
If measures
of EE are valid indicators of the quality of staff - patient relationships, as in the case of familial research, there should be evidence of associations between high EE and staff distress or burden.47 There is no consistent evidence of associations between EE and staff stress.
Where studies have failed to find associations between high EE and functioning, this may be associated with low levels
of EE in these samples and therefore insufficient deviation in the data to produce significant effects.10, 28 Therefore, although high EE may be associated with social functioning and challenging behaviors, given the relative low levels of high EE in staff - patient relationships, other constructs such as the absence of a positive relationship may be more robust indices of relationship quality in this group.28
There is some evidence of associations between dimensions
of EE and attributions and also dimensions
of EE and staff psychological characteristics, including personality factors and attachment styles.
Further research and replication is necessary to deepen our understanding
of EE in Chinese families (Li, Arthur, 2005, p. 433), as few studies have yet addressed this point.
In the words
of EE Cummings «the most wasted of all days is one without laughter», so Lori embraces love, laughter and life daily and does not take a moment for granted.

On first inspection
of the EE Harrier, you might be fooled into thinking that this handset shares some of the same aluminium construction as pricier phones such as the HTC One M9, but take a closer look and you'll realise that as nice as the brushed metal effect rear looks, it is just that — an effect.
Would it convert the phone to BTU instead
of EE (EVR)?
Hmm, sounds suspiciously like the comments of a facebook boycotter... Incidentally, I think if er's really wanted to get the most out

iv) Did the terms
of EE's termination letter defeat any claim by EE for damages for loss of bargain?
The judge referred to the terms of the wording

It also presents a range
of EE approaches and possible barriers to EE implementation.
And finally, any estimate of the relative value
of EE vs. PV (such as the «one quarter» statistic you cite) is only useful in the aggregate.
For any given home, the cost - value proposition
of EE is always continuum — from low - cost high - value measures to high - cost low - value measures, and everything in between.

There have been 2 different types
of EE Bonds issued since the I Bond program began in September 1998.
Issued May 2005 to present - The most recent type
of EE Bonds earn a fixed rate of interest, which is determined by adjusting the market yields of the 10 - year Treasury Note by the value of components unique to savings bonds, including early redemption and tax deferral options.
The latest form
of EE Bonds earn interest for 30 years at a fixed rate of interest.
There have been several types
of EE Bonds with different rate adjustments and maturity timespans while there has only been one type of I Bond issued.
Even in periods when a CD rate is higher than the rate
of an EE Bond, the EE Bond may be a better investment.
The unusual wrinkle: The Treasury Department guarantees that the value
of EE bonds will double in value over 20 years.
With that in mind, I bought thousands of dollars» worth
