Applying Giles' communication accommodation theory and Trudgills model through quantitative analysis method, this paper presents the investigative findings of Northern dialect community in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. Communication is demonstrated by selecting variants new settlement. Research shows that communicative environment has created significant pressure influences level accommodation. It ...

We measured apparent accommodation in 42 pseudophakic eyes (34 patients) after implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses. The mean apparent accommodation was 2.03 +/- 1.03 diopters. The mean accommodative power of 16 phakic eyes used as controls was 2.91 +/- 1.29 diopters. The diameter of the pupil appeared to be the most important factor in apparent accommodation--the smaller the pu...

David Lewis’s primary contribution to the theory of knowledge is his account of knowledge ascription, which integrates an elegant version of relevant alternatives theory with a detailed version of contextualism. His account is prefigured in his discussion of accommodation in “Scorekeeping in a Language Game” (1979), and forms the central topic of his “Elusive Knowledge” (1996). I will review hi...

Patient and family experiences are important indicators of quality of care and little is known about how family accommodation affects hospital experience. We added questions about accommodation to standardized inpatient pediatric and neonatal intensive care unit family experience surveys at 10 U.S. hospitals to determine the accommodation types used by families, compare characteristics across a...

Although contour rivalry is known to suppress the contribution of the non-dominant eye to some visuomotor mechanisms such as the pupillary light reflex, there have been no reports of the impact of rivalry on accommodation control. In the situation where the accommodation demands in the two eyes are in dynamic conflict, it has been reported that the accommodation response can be modelled in term...

PURPOSE To define the long-term results of accommodation insufficiency and to investigate the correlation between accommodation insufficiency and other factors including near point of convergence (NPC), age, and refractive errors. METHODS From January 2008 to December 2009, 11 patients with acute near vision disturbance and remote near point of accommodation (NPA) were evaluated. Full ophthal...

Steady-state accommodation responses were measured in both eyes as a function of vergence angle and direction of lateral gaze. The measurements were made with a binocular laser optometer. Small speckle patterns were used as fusional stimuli in an otherwise dark field. These patterns have the advantage of providing no blur stimulus to accommodation. Convergence accommodation for vergence angles ...

PURPOSE The relative efficiency of different eye exercise regimes is unclear, and in particular the influences of practice, placebo and the amount of effort required are rarely considered. This study measured conventional clinical measures following different regimes in typical young adults. METHODS A total of 156 asymptomatic young adults were directed to carry out eye exercises three times ...

Previous models for ocular accommodation have suggested a dual sympathetic/parasympathetic innervation to the ciliary muscle. Such models would predict that sympathomimetic drugs should change the resting point or dark focus of accommodation. The effect of an alpha-adrenergic agonist (10% phenylephrine hydrochloride) on accommodation was examined; the results show a decrease in the near point o...

Abstract Patient-perpetrated workplace violence (WPV) in healthcare is common. Although communication skills trainings are helpful, they may be strengthened by having a theoretical framework to improve replicability across contexts. This study developed and conducted an initial test of training framed Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) using longitudinal mixed-methods surveys professional...
