Contribution Based Priority Assessment In A Web-Based Intelligent Argumentation Network For Collaborative Software Development, Xiaoqing Frank Liu, Maithili Satyavolu, Ming-Chuan Leu Oct 2009

Contribution Based Priority Assessment In A Web-Based Intelligent Argumentation Network For Collaborative Software Development, Xiaoqing Frank Liu, Maithili Satyavolu, Ming-Chuan Leu

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Decision making is an important aspect in a collaborative software development process which involves a complex process of conflict resolution. the priority of the participants plays a vital role in conflict resolution as the decision-making process involves many participants from multiple perspectives. the priority assessment methods used in the process so far are usually static in nature, i.e., the priorities of the participants remain constant throughout the decision-making process. in order to make the collaborative system closer to real world scenarios, we incorporate dynamic priority assessment into a web-Based collaborative system based on intelligent computational argumentation, which was developed in …

Cultural Competence In Health Care: A Client-Based Perspective, Karon L. Phillips Oct 2009

Cultural Competence In Health Care: A Client-Based Perspective, Karon L. Phillips

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In response to the presence of health disparities among a diverse population of older adults, creating culturally competent health care services has emerged as a possible method to help reduce and eventually eliminate inequalities in health care. However, little information exists concerning the effectiveness of cultural competence, and even less is known about how culturally competent clients perceive their providers to be. This dissertation examined a number of indicators related to cultural competence, including the predictors of client-provider racial/ethnic concordance, client perceptions of the interpersonal sensitivity of their health care providers, and the overall satisfaction with care reported by older …

Why We Don't Understand The Rule Of Law, Noel B. Reynolds Oct 2009

Why We Don't Understand The Rule Of Law, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

This paper presents an assessment of current theories of law and their continuing failure to account in a convincing way for the rule of law as an ideal that guides and reassures modern democratic societies. It then explores the possibility that emerging understandings of human evolution and brain function may help us understand the process of convention making in a way that could reveal the underlying moral and epistemological context of law and allow us to identify a complete set of standards for the rule of law in human societies.

Organizational Life And Political Incorporation Of Two Asian Immigrant Groups: A Case Study, Sofya Aptekar Oct 2009

Organizational Life And Political Incorporation Of Two Asian Immigrant Groups: A Case Study, Sofya Aptekar

Publications and Research

Civil society is the foundation of a healthy democracy but its immigrant element has received little attention. This paper is a case study of immigrant organizations of highly skilled Asian Indians and Chinese immigrants in a suburban town of Edison, New Jersey. I find that civic participation of Asian Indian immigrants spills over into political incorporation while Chinese immigrant organizations remain margin- alized. I argue that local processes of racialization are central in explaining differences in political incorporation of immigrants. In the local context, the Chinese are seen as successful but conformist model minorities and Asian Indians as invaders and …

Cross Cultural, Bilingual Group Experience: Evidence That Process-Focused Groups Work, Louis L. Downs, Tan Joo Siang, Kung Shang Chun Oct 2009

Cross Cultural, Bilingual Group Experience: Evidence That Process-Focused Groups Work, Louis L. Downs, Tan Joo Siang, Kung Shang Chun

Journal for International Counselor Education

A group of counselors, counselor educators and trainees convened a therapeutic group in Kajang, Malaysia, facilitated by a counselor from the United States. Although Malaysian counselors are accustomed to content-driven groups, this group adhered to process-focused protocols. A Delphi analysis on the outcome of the group was performed by a multinational team. Results suggested that the group followed the same stage development as described in the American literature and that the process-focused group appeared to facilitate the crossing of cultural lines more effectively than a content-driven group.

Barriers To Interpreter Use In The Medical Clinical Encounter, Luz Evelyn Jimenez Oct 2009

Barriers To Interpreter Use In The Medical Clinical Encounter, Luz Evelyn Jimenez

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The Limited English Proficiency (LEP) population in the United States requires interpreters in order to receive appropriate medical care. However, interpreters are not used consistently in clinical encounters. This study aims to identify the barriers that interfere with providing this service, as well as to propose some possible ways of overcoming these barriers. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using Medline, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and PsycINFO. Twenty articles that presented barriers to interpreter use were identified. These barriers referred to either professional interpreters or ad hoc interpreters, or were general barriers. …

Department of Family Medicine

Background: Postpartum anxiety and depression is a major public health concern because of its adverse effects on the cognitive and social development of the infant. Globally postpartum depression has been widely investigated but as anxiety is a more prominent feature of postpartum depression we assessed the prevalence of anxiety and depression and their associated factors in post partum women.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study investigating the impact of postpartum anxiety and depression on child growth and development was conducted in two peri-urban, multiethnic, communities of Karachi, a mega city of Pakistan. A house to house questionnaire based survey was done by …

The Power Of The Teacher: Integrating Latino-Themed Literature In The K-12 Classroom, Ruth Quiroa, Susan Mcmahon, Barbara Evans, Francisco X. Alarcon Oct 2009

The Power Of The Teacher: Integrating Latino-Themed Literature In The K-12 Classroom, Ruth Quiroa, Susan Mcmahon, Barbara Evans, Francisco X. Alarcon

Western Suburban Literacy Initiative (WSLI) Conference

High quality books with culturally specific themes offer wonderful opportunities to access the background knowledge and personal connections of students with similar cultural heritage. However, the simple addition of the “right” multicultural books in the classroom is not enough to ensure that students engage in deep level responses involving culture. The teacher’s role in such conversations is critical and the focus of this session. Presenters will share examples from their work with students of Mexican origin and Mexican American-themed books published in the U.S. Participants will also have opportunities to take part in Book Clubs using Latino-themed children’s literature, respond …

Nurse-Patient Communication In Oncology Setting: A Phenomenological Study Of Trust From Patients' Perspectives, Julia B. Havelick Oct 2009

Nurse-Patient Communication In Oncology Setting: A Phenomenological Study Of Trust From Patients' Perspectives, Julia B. Havelick

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

A phenomenological study was performed to explore trust within the contexts of nurse-patient relationships with oncology patients. Specifically, the present study explored trust within these relationships in oncology settings. Former and current patients were interviewed to determine their experiences of being trusted (or distrusted) by nurses. Four themes were derived from interviews: competence, personal attention, comfort and communication. Communication and competence were themes that were shown to most increase trust. Incompetence was shown to decrease trust. Nurses who appeared too busy did not instill trust either. Touch, positive facial expressions, and physical appearance increased trust. Non-verbal communication that decreased trust …
