This study explores whether four sessions of attention bias modification (ABM) decreases suicide-specific attentional bias. We conducted two experiments where suicide ideators completed either a Training or Control version of ABM, a computer-based intervention intended to target attentional bias. Suicide-specific attentional bias was measured using adapted Stroop and probe discrimination tasks....

Abstract Agent-based modelling (ABM) is a computer-based system to simulate the interactions, relationships and behavior of individual agents in defined spatial context. Due its stochastic heterogenic nature, method has potential represent complexity tourism with broad range possible applications. In context visitor flow management for instance, ABM can function as decision support tool policy ...

BACKGROUND Rabies is the most severe and neglected public health problem in India. Management of animal bite with post exposure prophylaxis is the only existent strategy to prevent rabies related deaths. Cost-effective and sustainable programme for provision of post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is needed in India. METHODS In this study, we have documented the experience of implementation of int...

BACKGROUND Simple bone cysts are common benign lytic bone lesions in children. The main goals of treatment for bone cysts are to prevent pathological fractures, support the healing process, and prevent recurrence. This retrospective study compared fixation with titanium elastic intramedullary nailing (TEN) versus aspiration and injection of autogenous bone marrow (ABM) for the treatment of simp...

The multifocal nature of lesions in multiple sclerosis hints at the occurrence of autobiographical memory (AbM) impairment. However, the dearth of studies on AbM in multiple sclerosis is noticeable, notwithstanding the importance of AbM in everyday life. In the first section of this study, 25 multiple sclerosis patients and 35 controls underwent a detailed episodic AbM assessment. Results obtai...

Recent neuroimaging studies have suggested that brain regions activated during retrieval of autobiographical memory (ABM) overlap with the default mode network (DMN), which shows greater activation during rest than cognitively demanding tasks and is considered to be involved in self-referential processing. However, detailed overlap and segregation between ABM and DMN remain unclear. This fMRI s...

1 Integrated activity-based modeling (ABM) and dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) frameworks have 2 emerged as a promising tool to support transportation planning and operations, particularly in the context 3 of novel technologies and data sources. This research proposes an approach to characterize 4 implementations of integrated ABM-DTA models, seeking to facilitate the interpretation and compar...

Some researchers indicated that situation models resemble autobiographical memory (AbM). For example, Zwaan & Radvansky (1998) pointed “The dimensions of time, space, and protagonist are also featured in accounts of autobiographical memory of directly experienced events” by quoted Wagenaar (1986). Also, Radvansky, Copeland & Zwaan (2005) investigated AbM using memories of fictional autobiograph...

This study compares the use of the deductive approach (questionnaire) and the inductive approach (role playing games) in the calibration of an agent-based model (ABM) and studies their effects on model validity and utility. ABM is a modelling methodology that puts emphasis on stakeholder behaviour (Samuelson, 2005). The validity of behavioural assumptions is critical in ABM because it increases...
