Forty male respondents, 20 batterers and 20 non-batterers comparably matched for education, sex, age, employment, and occupation in a non-probabilistic sample, were administered the Conflict Tactics Scale and the Causal Dimension Scale in order to measure exposure to violence in both family and non-family environments and to determine how respondents attributed the cause of spousal conflict. Th...

This study aimed to examine the effects of empowerment and education intervention to promote Advance Care Planning (ACP) for residents in a highly aged and depopulated region. The study utilized a single-group preand post-test design and was conducted in Osakikamijima, Hiroshima, Japan. The researchers and town officials together formed an ACP committee and created an intervention framework. An...

Theorem provers are extremely useful tools for reasoning about complex mathematics and large scale systems. They play an important part in verifying the correctness of designs, particularly for safetycritical systems. The problem is that they still require a large amount of human intervention to successfully guide the proof. Our solution to this important limitation involves using data mining t...

Design: Randomized comparison of full BH integration vs. simple co-location. The intervention includes 1) on-line education for all members of the practice on evidence-based concepts of integrated behavioral health and methods of applying them, 2) a toolkit of tactics to plan for integration, and 3) coaching to support redesign of practice workflow for integration. Implementation of integration...

In this experience report, a programmer at a medium-sized software company explains his tactics for bottom-up organizational change. The tactics are accompanied by personal recollections of related experiences. Tactics are presented in three primary sections: the difficulty of making change; getting attention; and making a case for change. A brief section on the consequences of change follows.

The computer-based simulation of military tactics has largely involved the use of platform-dependent scripting resulting in behaviour that is limited, and difficult to debug and reuse. The Tactics Development Framework (TDF) addresses these shortcomings by providing design-level support for tactics modelling. Its integration with VBS3 is reported here.

The REBOUND adaptation framework organizes a collection of adaptation tactics in a way that they can be selected based on the components available for adaptation. Adaptation tactics are specified formally in terms of the relationship between the component to be adapted and the resulting adapted component. The tactic specifications are used as matching conditions for specification-based componen...

trolled opponents in video games is called game AI. Adaptive game AI can improve the entertainment value of games by allowing computer-controlled opponents to fix weaknesses automatically in the game AI and to respond to changes in human-player tactics. Dynamic scripting is a reinforcement learning approach to adaptive game AI that learns, during gameplay, which game tactics an opponent should ...
