OBJECTIVE To develop consensus-based guidelines for training in mental health and psychosocial interventions for trauma-exposed populations in the international arena. PARTICIPANTS The Task Force on International Trauma Training of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. EVIDENCE The Task Force engaged in a 1-year dialogue on the practice of international training, drawing u...

To obtain the SVA objective from the parametric MJP model, we begin by scaling the exponential distribution f(t;λ) = λ exp(−λt), which is an exponential family distribution with natural parameter η = −λ, log-partition function ψ(η) = − ln(−η), and base measure ν(dt) = 1 [1]. To scale the distribution, introduce the new natural parameter η̃ = βη and log-partition function ψ̃(η̃) = βψ(η̃/β). The new ...

A current scenario to explain much of the atmospheric CO2 increase during the Glacial to Holocene climate transition requires the outgassing of a deep, old oceanic CO2 reservoir thought to be located in the Southern Ocean. In this scenario, CO2-rich and 14C-depleted subsurface Antarctic-sourced water, ventilates the thermocline where it is purged to the atmosphere in the equatorial regions, a v...

RÉSUMÉ. Dans les systèmes de dialogue oral Homme-Machine, la compréhension de la parole spontanée est un problème difficile qui requiert des méthodes d’analyse robustes. La plupart des systèmes sont destinés à des actions très spécifiques : la compréhension repose sur la détection de mots ou segments clefs pour remplir les différents champs de requêtes prédéterminées. LOGUS, le système de compr...

PURPOSE The authors investigated the fate of abstracts from each ARVO section (May 1985 meeting), the overall publication percentage, and the journals in which the abstract-derived articles were published. METHODS They performed a MEDLINE search by first author for 25 or 26 randomly selected abstracts from each section to identify those that led to full-length articles in peer-reviewed journa...

Continuing education (CE) can have a large impact on dentists' oral cancer attitudes, knowledge, and behavior. Reading scientific journals is a key component of CE. The objective of this study was to assess preventive and clinical attitudes of the participants in an educational intervention on oral cancer in Spain based on scientific journals. Members of the Spanish Board of Dentists and Stomat...

The paper examines how the use of mobile technologies such as tablets and handheld MP3 players can support and promote oral language production among young language learners. It explores how the use of these mobile technologies in the language classroom supports pedagogical practices anchored in socioconstructivist theories of SLA that emphasize the role of dialogue and social interaction among...

AutoTutor is a fully automated tutoring system that attempts to comprehend learner contributions and formulate appropriate dialogue moves. This paper reports the mechanisms and performance of one of AutoTutor’s language modules, the word tagging module. AutoTutor’s word tagging module determines the part of speech tag for every word in the learner’s contributions. It uses a two part procedure: ...

This paper describes a method for automatically detecting filled (vocalized) pauses, which are one of the hesitation phenomena that current speech recognizers typically cannot handle. The detection of these pauses is important in spontaneous speech dialogue systems because they play valuable roles, such as helping a speaker keep a conversational turn, in oral communication. Although a few speec...
