Objective: Many children with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) either don’t have access to its main treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or do not respond to it. Cognitive Bias Modification of Interpretation (CBM‑I) is a novel and promising intervention that targets incorrect interpretation of intrusive thoughts and impulses which are the characteristics of OCD. The aim of the pres...

conclusions both eps and er residents either missed or falsely called a significant number of pathologies in their interpretations. the interpretations of eps and er residents were more sensitive and more specific, respectively. these findings revealed the need for increased training time in head ct reading for residents and the necessity of attending continuing medical education workshops for ...

Weak gravity in the brane world scenario with a scalar field in the bulk between two end-of-the-world branes is investigated by using the doubly gauge invariant formalism. We review the result that Einstein gravity is restored in the low energy limit and that highenergy corrections to Einstein gravity can be mimicked by higher derivative terms. After that, it is argued that non-locality is one ...

Our existence depends on a variety of constants which appear to be extremely fine-tuned to allow for the existence of life as we know it. These include the number of spatial dimensions, the strengths of the forces, the masses of the particles, the composition of the Universe and others. On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the death of G.W. Leibniz we discuss the question of whether we l...

hospitals’ bed productivity has a remarkable effect on health system performance. the pabon lasso model (plm) is a useful tool for evaluation of inpatient beds performance and there is a growing trend in use of this technique in hospital performance evaluation. the aim of this study is to review the literature on plm to gain insight into quality the results of these studies. by adopting a syste...

We propose a two-layered model for computing semantic and conceptual interpretations from dependency structures. Abstract interpretation schemata generate semantic interpretations of `minimal' dependency subgraphs, while production rules whose speci cation is rooted in ontological categories derive a canonical conceptual interpretation from semantic interpretation structures. Con gurational des...
