In data-driven gender identification, it has been so far largely assumed that the same types of (mostly content-oriented) data features can be used to differentiate between male and female authors. In most cases, this distinction is done in a monolingual scenario. In this work, we discuss a set of features that distinguish between genders in six different datasets of blog data in English, Spani...

In this note we present examples of cumulative connection constants-new Fibonomial ones included. All examples posses combinatorial interpretation. This presentation is an update of A.K.Kwa´sniewski Fibonomial cumulative connection constants Bulletin of the ICA vol. 44 (2005), 81-92.

This paper addresses the problem of compound word translation and proposes the approaches to acquiring translations. The proposed approaches focus on exploring web data and utilizing English translations to link words of the source language and the correspondences in the target language. The paper uses Japanese-Chinese language pairs for the sake of illustration and shows initial experimental r...

General practice is recognised as the first port of call for most patients in the Australian healthcare system with GPs performing a gatekeeper role. There are more than 17,000 vocationally registered general practitioners in Australia and about 1,500 registrars currently training 1 or one GP per 974 persons. Almost all of us (82%) attend a GP at least once during any given year. GPs provide by...

This article describes positive outcomes in culture, Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores, employee engagement, and clinical quality as a result of using shared governance, specifically unit practice councils (UPC) or staff councils, to implement Relationship-Based Care (RBC).

The CLASS Act (Community Living Assistance Senrvices and Support Act) represented a vision --a vision of a system of services that was owned and invested in by the citizens of the United States. CLASS is intended to be an infrastructure under which the government would design a voluntary, federally administered, consumer-financed insurance plan. It became law when President Barack Obama signed ...

At most how many (proper) q-colorings does a regular graph admit? Galvin and Tetali conjectured that among all n-vertex, d-regular graphs with 2d|n, none admits more q-colorings than the disjoint union of n/2d copies of the complete bipartite graph Kd,d. In this note we give asymptotic evidence for this conjecture, showing that the number of proper q-colorings admitted by an n-vertex, d-regular...
