This article applies a developmental-ecological perspective to the question of the etiology of physical child abuse and neglect by organizing the paper around a variety of "contexts of maltreatment." The roles of parent and child characteristics and processes are considered ("developmental context"), including an examination of intergenerational transmission. The "immediate interactional contex...

We propose an interactional generalisation of structured exceptions based on the session type discipline. Interactional exceptions allow communicating peers to asynchronously and collaboratively escape from the middle of a dialogue and reach another in a coordinated fashion, under an arbitrary nesting of exceptions. New exception types guarantee communication safety and offer a precise type-abs...

The notion of context has been an issue of research in various aspects of intelligent systems such as knowledge management, natural language processing, reasoning and so on. This paper focuses on the various contexts surrounding the design and use of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) and proposes an initial framework of contexts by classifying them into three major groupings: interactional, en...

Interactions provide opportunities for coordination that can be enacted via gestures. Interactions in a sports setting (in our case indoor cycling classes) provide opportunities and demands for coordination that go beyond typical face-to-face interaction. In this paper, we investigate how a trainer motivates the trainees and with a focus on the methods that are applied. The approach presented h...

In order for researchers to understand and predict behavior, they must consider both person and situation factors and how these factors interact. Even though organization researchers have developed interactional models, many have overemphasized either person or situation components, and most have failed to consider the effects that persons have on situations. This paper presents criteria for im...

Awareness of a sociolinguistic variable and linguistic behavior are intricately connected, such that the former can influence speakers’ use particular variants. As result, exploring awareness salience as part variation is crucial to fully understanding choices speakers make in interaction social meaning variants they employ. In this article, I investigate how patterns production perception Astu...

Question design during history-taking has clear implications for patients' ability to share their concerns in general and their seizure experiences in particular. Studies have shown that unusually open questions at the start of the consultation enable patients to display interactional and linguistic markers which may help with the otherwise challenging differentiation of epileptic from nonepile...

Generally, human resources play an important role in manufacturing systems as they can affect the work environment. One of the most important factors affecting the human resources is being an interactional interest among the workers in the workshops. If the workers in a manufacturing cell have the highest surface of the interactional interest level, it causes a significant raise in coordination...
