Currently within the Canadian research landscape, patients as partners or ambassadors have become part of the fabric for research funding; “nothing about me without me” (1). My recent personal experiences at pain conferences and research team meetings as a patient partner, who is also an academic researcher, suggest we need to evolve a philosophy of engagement that serves both the patient and t...

We develop a structural VAR in which an occasionally-binding constraint generates censoring of one the dependent variables. Once mechanism is triggered, we allow some coefficients for remaining variables to change. show that necessary condition unique reduced form regression functions non-censored are continuous at point and parameters satisfy mild restrictions. In our application censored vari...

In this paper we describe the use of mental states, more specifically the BDI approach, to implement the process of affective diagnosis in an educational environment. We use the OCC model, which is based on the cognitive theory of emotions and is possible to be implemented computationally, in order to infer the learner’s emotions from his actions in the system interface. The BDI approach is ver...
