The purpose of this study was to identify factors that could be used as standardized criteria for evaluating occupational diseases in initial assessments or requests for examination. Using 100 administrative litigation cases on the work-relatedness of cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) by the Seoul Branch of the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation (KLWC) from 1997 to 2002, we estimated the relationshi...

Wikipedia provides an enormous amount of background knowledge to reason about the semantic relatedness between two entities. In this work, we present a distributional semantics based approach for computing entity relatedness, and a focused related entities explorer based on this approach.

Wikipedia provides a knowledge base for computing word relatedness in a more structured fashion than a search engine and with more coverage than WordNet. In this work we present experiments on using Wikipedia for computing semantic relatedness and compare it to WordNet on various benchmarking datasets. Existing relatedness measures perform better using Wikipedia than a baseline given by Google ...

Determining statistical power and precision of heritability estimates can be difficult particularly in complex pedigrees. Previous work focused on the power to detect heritability by using the expectation of the likelihood ratio test (ELRT). This work is extended to the more general setting involving arbitrary null hypotheses. We derive two Taylor series expansion which approximate the ELRT in ...

The present work focuses on listening training as an example of a relational human resource practice that can improve outcomes: Relatedness to colleagues, burnout, and turnover intentions. In two quasi-field experiments, employees were assigned either group or control condition. Both immediately after 3 weeks later, receiving was shown be linked higher feelings relatedness with lower These find...
