Gatekeeper training is successful at imparting knowledge, building skills, and molding the attitudes of trainees; however, more work needs to be done on longevity of these traits and referral patterns of gatekeepers. There is a need for randomized controlled trials. In addition, the unique effect of gatekeeper training on suicide rates needs to be fully elucidated.

Muscle strength appears well preserved following short periods of detraining, despite a decline in muscle cross-sectional area and muscle activation. PURPOSE: This study determined the effect a 12-week unilateral elbow flexor resistance training regimen followed by 8 weeks of detraining on muscle cross-sectional area, muscle activation, and dynamic and static strength in trained and non-exercising contralateral limbs. METHODS: Ten males volunteered for the investigation and completed a 4-week pre-treatment training period (50-80%1RM) prior to commencing the experimental resistance training regimen. Subjects attended 3 sessions per week over 12 weeks of experimental training wherein they exercised at 85%1RM. Each subjects trained …

Pedestrian detection is a vision task with many practical applications in video surveillance, road safety, autonomous driving and military. However, it is much more difficult compared to the detection of other visual objects, because of the tremendous variations in the inner region as well as the outer shape of the pedestrian pattern. In this paper, we propose a pedestrian detection approach that uses convolutional neural network (CNN) to differentiate pedestrian and non-pedestrian patterns. Among several advantages, the CNN integrates feature extraction and classification into one single, fully adaptive structure. It can extract two-dimensional features at increasing scales, and it is …

Dementia has been identified as a national health priority in Australia. National programs in the areas of research, education and training have been established. The Dementia Care Skills for Aged Care Workers program is a three-year project that commenced in 2006. It has the goal of providing training in the essentials of dementia care to 17,000 staff of aged care services across Australia. Successful completion of the training results in the award of a nationally recognized qualification. Although the delivery of the training has been difficult in some areas – because of the long distances to be covered by trainers …

This study reports on the responses of 165 site staff of a reputed Singaporean retail petroleum company. Links are explored between a conceptual framework consisting of the impact of Job Characteristics on Job Satisfaction, Training Opportunities on Job Satisfaction, and the role of Age as a mediator between these variables. Multiple regression analysis was used to investigate which variables best predict Job Satisfaction as an outcome variable. A full regression multivariate model consisting of Job Characteristics variables (operationalized in terms of Skill Variety, Autonomy, Task Identity and Task Feedback), Training Opportunities, and Age groups explained 39.8% of the variability in …

What has been commonly termed ‘Cultural Awareness Training’ has been a popular method utilised by organisations targeting employees, to improve the cultural appropriateness of their service delivery. Policy shifts and evaluation findings have seen the expectations and ideals of such training evolve from mere ‘Awareness’ to more of a ‘Cultural Competence’ focus, addressing not only knowledge, but also behaviour.
