There has been growing interest regarding the 'medical humanities' in most medical schools in Korea. Medical humanities is an interdisciplinary field of humanities, social science, and the arts that aims to have a critical or supplementary role in medical education and practice. Thus, diverse educational methods should be applied to achieve the goals of medical humanities. The illness narrative...

Learning an input-output mapping from a set of examples can be regarded as synthesizing an approximation of a multi-dimensional function. From this point of view, this form of learning is closely related to regularization theory, and we have previously shown (Poggio and Girosi, 1990a, 1990b) the equivalence between reglilari~at.ioll and a. class of three-layer networks that we call regularizati...

Widespread interest exists in government in applying data analytics techniques to ‘big data’, for example social media data, to gauge sentiment among populations. Two catchphrases which have ridden this wave of interest and gained currency are ‘sentiment analysis’ and ‘master narratives’. However, both entail methodological problems, and we suggest a rather different way of looking at big data,...

In this paper we describe the opportunity for digital behavioral histories to empower individuals to engage in positive health behaviors. The digital trails we leave by using various social, mobile and web services and self-tracking tools can be used to create a compelling digital narrative of past behaviors. The use of these digital narratives should be explored for the purpose of facilitating...

Sixty-five 14to 16-year-old middle-class, racially diverse adolescents narrated two stories about each parent’s childhood, and 2 positive personal stories.

As the technical difficulties of delivering filmic imagery on interactive devices are overcome, the problems raised by combining such imagery with interaction become more obvious. Though film, whether conceived in terms of classical Hollywood or other cinema, has proved a remarkably powerful medium of expression, how helpful is it to adopt filmic practices for interactive media? By analysing fi...

We derive a new maximal inequality for stationary sequences under a martingale-type condition introduced by Maxwell and Woodroofe (2000). Then, we apply it to establish the Donsker invariance principle for this class of stationary sequences. A Markov chain example is given in order to show the optimality of the conditions imposed. Short title: A New Maximal Inequality I Results Let (Xi)i∈Z be a...

Films depict the world and convey perspectives on it. The same can be said of the extensively well distributed James Bond film series which has been critically acclaimed and successful for the last several decades from “Dr. No” (1962) to “Spectre” (2015).
