Genetic counseling is conceptualized as having both "teaching" and "counseling" functions; however, little is known about how these functions are articulated in routine practice. This study addresses the question by documenting, on videotape, the practices of a national sample of prenatal and cancer genetic counselors (GCs) providing routine pre-test counseling to simulated clients (SCs). One h...

The word ‘pattern’ frequently appears in the visualisation and visual analytics literature, but what do we mean when talk about patterns? We propose a practicable definition of concept pattern data distribution as combination multiple interrelated elements two or more components that can be represented treated unified whole. Our theoretical model describes how patterns are made by relationships...

Abstract We adopted a person-oriented approach to identify patterns of how classroom talk and internal behavioral engagement are combined in students. The research was conducted on sample 639 ninth-grade students (32 classes). measured the duration for each individual student during Czech language arts lessons. completed an inventory determine their engagement. Student achievement using results...

Unilateral movement is usually accompanied by ipsilateral activity in the primary motor cortex (M1). It is still largely unclear whether this activity reflects interhemispheric 'cross-talk' of contralateral M1 that facilitates movement, or results from processes that inhibit motor output. We investigated the role of beta power in ipsilateral M1 during unimanual force production. Significant ips...

Aliasing, mutable state and stable object identities are inherent in object-oriented programming. It is a well-known fact that this troika of features cause problems for practitioners, tool developers and formalists alike. Patterns for aliasing, and patterns for structuring object graphs exist, and manipulating aliases and managing these graphs or graph-like structures are among the most freque...

As an extension of prior work, we studied inspecific Hebbian learning using the classical Oja model. We used a combination of analytical tools and numerical simulations to investigate how the effects of synaptic cross talk (which we also refer to as synaptic inspecificity) depend on the input statistics. We investigated a variety of patterns that appear in dimensions higher than two (and classi...

CONTEXT Although parent-child communication about sex can significantly affect children's sexual behavior, many parents do not talk to their children about sex. Qualitative research can elucidate parents' attitudes toward and experiences with communicating with their children about sex. METHODS In 2007, 16 focus groups were conducted with 131 mothers and fathers of children aged 10-12 in thre...

We present an empirically based model for modeling the quality of pre-service teacher reflection. Conversations from twelve groups a total 47 teachers were video recorded and transcribed verbatim. First, we analyzed their conversations through practical epistemology analysis operationalization Dewey’s definition reflection to identify moments that appeared in teachers’ talk. Thereafter, employe...

The present study sought to explore whether a text supported primarily with dialogic talk is more comprehensible than an authoritative one. A phenomenological case approach was utilized in gathering and analyzing the data. students’ lived experiences talks were our focus of concern. total 14 college students participated study. Individual interviews conducted, recorded, transcribed. transcripti...
