Are explanations always important? A study of deployed, low-cost intelligent interactive systems

February 2012

Intelligent interactive systems (IIS) have great potential to improve users' experience with technology by tailoring their behaviour and appearance to users' individual needs; however, these systems, with their complex algorithms and dynamic behaviour, can also suffer from a lack of comprehensibility and transparency. We present the results of two studies examining the comprehensibility of, and ... [Show full abstract] desire for explanations with deployed, low-cost IIS. The first study, a set of interviews with 21 participants, reveals that i) comprehensibility is not always dependent on explanations, and ii) the perceived cost of viewing explanations tends to outweigh the anticipated benefits. Our second study, a two-week diary study with 14 participants, confirms these findings in the context of daily use, with participants indicating a desire for an explanation in only 7% of diary entries. We discuss the implications of our findings for the design of explanation facilities.

However, that kind of suffering becomes lighter in function of benefits the organization offers for its workers. Moreover, the work is not associated to pleasure, but to a necessity of surviving, almost always understood as a form of painful obligation. For the organization, on the other hand, the work symbolizes a person's existence, because the worker spends the most part of his time working there.

The requirement of prospective confirmation through the fulfillment of daily scales during two consecutive cycles is among the diagnostic criteria. Objective: ... [Show full abstract] Studying the proportion of cases of PMDD among women with premenstrual complaints and the relevance of the prospective confirmation of this diagnosis. Methodology: A hundred thirty five women who demanded medical assistance because of symptoms they related to premenstrual period were interviewed. They were submitted to processes of selection and diagnostic evaluation, utilizing DSM-III-R criteria for LLPDD (PMDD). Results: Only 31 patients received a retrospective, provisory, diagnosis of PMDD. Among these patients, 16 completed the diary scale: six confirmed prospectively the diagnosis, 10 not. Conclusions: Just a little minority of women who believe suffering from PMS really fulfill the diagnostic criteria for PMDD. Prospective evaluation is indispensable for confirming the diagnosis.

Stroke and Depression: does the etiology count?

June 2002

Introduction and purpose: Stroke patients suffer from depression but the relationship between etiology and depression is not well known. We studied the association between stroke etiology and depressive simptomatology and looked for prevalent depressive criteria. Methods: We interviewed 22 stroke patients (11 men and 11 women) and we used the DSM-IV criteria for major depression. Patients were ... [Show full abstract] observed 2 to 12 months after stroke. We excluded patients with global aphasia, previous stroke and those who were unable to perform the interview. Age varied between 36 and 78 years. Results: From 11 patients with hemorrhagic stroke, 5 were localized in the left hemisphere. Seven of the 11 isquemic strokes were also localized in the left hemisphere. Depressive symptoms were present in 59% of the patients (23% in hemorrhagic stroke and 36% in isquemic stroke). Lost of interest in diary activities or life in general was present in 50% of the patients and in 75% of the patients with depressive simptomatology. 28% of the patients had previous depression, being all of them women that suffered an isquemic stroke. Discussion: Depressive simptomatology is common in after stroke patients. In our sample we found that the isquemic stroke patients were more likely to have depressive simptomatology. Lost of interest in diary activities was the most prevalent depressive symptom, so it might be used for early detection and treatment decision in post stroke depression.

The Diary of William Harvey: The Imaginary Journal of the Physician Who Revolutionized Medicine

August 1993 · JAMA The Journal of the American Medical Association

Stephen R. Ell

By coincidence, I had just reread Marquerite Yourcenar's Memoires d'Hadrien (widely available in English as The Memoirs of Hadrian), when I began reading this book. The contrast between the two, which are examples of the same genre of what might be termed pseudomemoirs, is instructive. Yourcenar's work brings to life an age, and a complex, eminently human, but transcendently remarkable man.The ... [Show full abstract] late Dr Hamburger's book, on the other hand, is anachronistic in its use of language and in the views it ascribes to its subject. Further, Harvey emerges from this book at best a pompous, repetitious, and ultimately boring man, who typifies little if anything of his own time, but rather is almost entirely of the 20th century. It is amazing that, in a book in which medicine plays a highly peripheral role, Yourcenar's Hadrian has much more profound comments on medicine than does Hamburger's Harvey.In form, the

Julia Dickson-Gomez

Many times as I was interviewing campesinos living in a repopulated community in El Salvador about their experiences during the war, they would comment, “They say, he who hasn't experienced war doesn't know anything.” This article is an exploration of that statement and the challenge it presents to the implicit assumptions in much of the anthropological writing on violence.

Use of drugs, families and care practices: Public policy questions

February 2019 · Athenea Digital: Revista de Pensamiento e Investigacion Social

The hegemonic conceptions about drugs, the social belongings of the families and the guidelines put by the public policies reverberate in the way of conceiving the problems related to the use of drugs and in the practices of care in the familiar context. The present study, carried out through the monitoring of two families of distinct socioeconomic conditions and who suffer from problems arising ... [Show full abstract] from the use of drugs by one of its members, proposes to discuss how public policies have impacted care practices and handling these situations. An average of 25 meetings were held with each of them. The data analyzed were obtained through open interviews, observation and field diary. Differentiated modes of understanding and coping with the problem were identified based on the social belonging of the families and that the lack of adequate support in the network, especially for substitutive services, reduces the possibilities for empowering and emancipating family care practices.

The research deals with teaching behaviour and practical experiences that aim at bringing together families who live in precarious contexts, involving them in their children's schooling and improving communication between partners. The school population is in difficulty and suffers from truancy problems. The qualitative analysis shows that the 16 teachers we have interviewed consider that ... [Show full abstract] cooperation with parents is of primordial importance and that they are closely involved. However this cooperation is weakened by a certain number of emotional and affective interventions, by idealized expectations, by offbeat interpretations and by the need for recognition and support. Unusual and experimental activities, such as a life diary, storytelling and booster clubs encourage both oral and written exchanges that get parents involved.

February 1999 · Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders

Falls were assessed for 3 months using a daily fall diary in 65 (30 dementia with Lewy bodies, DLB; 35 Alzheimer’s disease, AD) dementia patients from a case register, diagnosed using operationalised clinical criteria, with established accuracy against post-mortem. Multiple falls (>5) occurred in 37&percnt; of DLB patients and 6&percnt; of those with AD, often resulting in injury. None of the ... [Show full abstract] standard risk assessment tools identified fallers, but they did identify multiple fallers. More detailed evaluation methods examining gait patterns, sway and neurovascular instability were not helpful. Multiple falls were associated with DLB, parkinsonism, previous falls, greater impairment of activities of daily living and older age. Falls are particularly common in DLB sufferers and may aid diagnosis. Treatment studies evaluating fall reduction strategies are a priority.

Abstract- Purpose: We investigated the role of video-urodynamic (VUD) to identify detrusor sphincter dysynergia (DSD) and idiopathic external urethral sphincter hyperactivity (SH) in women suffering urgency. Material and Methods: Between July 2013 and May 2015, 82 women who underwent VUD studies due to urgency were analyzed. Women were evaluated carefully by complete history, physical ... [Show full abstract] investigation, urosonography, voiding diary, and video-urodynamic investigation. Results: Using VUD, we found DSD or SH in 40 of 83(48%) women. Median age of women was 54 ± 18 (range: 22-84). DSD and SH were found in 31 of 40 (78%) and 9 of 40 (22%) women respectively. 19 of 40 (48%) women had urge incontinence with median pad usage of 4 ± 2 (range: 1-10) daily. 20 of 40 (50%) women suffered from recurrent urinary infections.
