Developing AUSMAT’s Rehabilitation Capacity: Applying the Technical Standards to Practice

Developing Asian language corpora: standards and practice

This paper first discusses standards for developing Asian language corpora so as to facilitate international data exchange. Following this, we present two corpora of Asian languages developed at Lancaster University – the EMILLE Corpus, which contains 14 South Asian languages, and the Lancaster Corpus of Mandarin Chinese. Finally, we will demonstrate how to explore these corpora using Xara and ...

Technical Standards and Deaf and Hard of Hearing Medical School Applicants and Students: Interrogating Sensory Capacity and Practice Capacity.

Applicants to medical schools who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHoH) or who have other disabilities face significant barriers to medical school admission. One commonly cited barrier to admission is medical schools' technical standards (TS) for admission, advancement, and graduation. Ethical values of diversity and equity support altering the technical standards to be more inclusive of people w...

Applying Existing Standards to a Medical Rehabilitation Robot: Limits and Challenges

Considering the new threats in medical robotics due to increasing complexity and autonomy, and the absence of dedicated standards, we present in this paper how we carried safety analyses for a rehabilitation robot. We combine several standards and research works for a safe design and to construct a safety case for regulatory bodies. We point out some challenges for standardization and future re...

Applying molecular immunohematology discoveries to standards of practice in blood banks: now is the time.

Lessons from more than 100 years of immunohematology exemplify that many critical discoveries were made serendipitously and their more rapid implementation could have benefited transfusion recipients and pregnancies. Constituents of blood that are not essential for the attempted therapeutic benefit of a transfusion are largely removed from today's blood products. We are now moving on to avoid u...
