Spanning presence and absence. Separation anxiety in the early years.

Book Synopsis. This volume is the result of over twenty years of therapeutic interventions with families within the Tavistock Clinic's Under Fives Service. It describes in detail the process of understanding young children's communications and behaviour and the dynamics of family relationships within the consulting room in a lively, accessible style. It covers common themes in work with young children such as disruptive, angry behaviour, separation and sleep difficulties, and problems in the parent/couple relationship. This book is essential reading for all early years professionals hoping to gain a greater understanding of the technique, observational skills and theory which underlie a psychodynamic approach to work with the under fives

p3state.msm: Analyzing Survival Data from an Illness-Death Model

In longitudinal studies of disease, patients can experience several events across a followup period. Analysis of such studies can be successfully performed by multi-state models. In the multi-state framework, issues of interest include the study of the relationship between covariates and disease evolution, estimation of transition probabilities, and survival rates. This paper introduces p3state.msm, a software application for R which performs inference in an illness-death model. It describes the capabilities of the program for estimating semi-parametric regression models and for implementing nonparametric estimators for several quantities. The main feature of the package is its ability for obtaining nonMarkov estimates for the transition probabilities. Moreover, the methods can also be used in progressive three-state models. In such a model, estimators for other quantities, such as the bivariate distribution function (for sequentially ordered events), are also given. The software is illustrated using data from the Stanford Heart Transplant Study.

Algumas reflexões a propósito da bolsa de valores sociais enquanto promotora da responsabilidade social da empresa

1th Iberoamerican Conference on Social Responsibility 1ª Conferência Ibero-americana de Responsabilidade Social 1ª Conferencia Iberoamericana sobre Responsabilidad SocialCentrando-se na cooperativa, esta comunicação subordinada ao tema «Algumas reflexões a propósito da Bolsa de Valores Sociais enquanto promotora da Responsabilidade Social da Empresa» pretende reflectir sobre a Bolsa de Valores Sociais (BVS), recentemente criada em Portugal, cuja finalidade foi, primacialmente, a de permitir a obtenção de meios de financiamento às organizações da Economia Social que se dediquem a projectos nas áreas da educação e do empreendedorismo. Reflexamente, a BVS promoverá a Responsabilidade Social da Empresa, dado que as organizações nela cotadas prosseguirão actividades absolutamente coerentes com aquela. Será, também, dedicada atenção ao conceito de investidor social e às exigências em matéria de transparência e de governação que recaem sobre as organizações cotadas na BVS

MÉDIA AUDIO-VISUAL DINA PANGAJARAN NYARITAKEUN TOKOH IDOLA: Studi Kuasi Ékspérimén ka Siswa Kelas VII C SMP Negeri 6 Cimahi Taun Ajaran 2015/2016

Latar belakang dalam penelitian ini adalah pentingnya media pembelajaran dalam kegiatan belajar-mengajar dan kurangnya kemampuan siswa dalam menceritakan tokoh idola. Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan: (1) kemampuan siswa menceritakan tokoh idola sebelum menggunakan media audio-visual; (2) kemampuan siswa menceritakan tokoh idola sesudah menggunakan media audio-visual; dan (3) terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan siswa menceritakan tokoh idola sebelum dan sesudah menggunakan media audio-visual. Teknik yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data yaitu tes. Media yang diujicobakan dalam penelitian ini adalah media audio-visual. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada siswa kelas VII C SMP Negeri 6 Cimahi Tahun Ajaran 2015/2016. Hasil dari penelitian ini yaitu: (1) kemampuan siswa menceritakan tokoh idola sebelum menggunakan media audio-visual rata-ratanya 72,8; (2) kemampuan siswa menceritakan tokoh idola sesudah menggunakan media audio-visual rata-ratanya 81,7; dan (3) terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan siswa menceritakan tokoh idola sebelum dan sesudah menggunakan media audio-visual, bisa terlihat dari nilai thitung > ttabel yaitu 10,86 > 2,46. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa hipotesis kerja (Ha) diterima dan hipotesis nol (H0) ditolak. Artinya media audio-visual bisa meningkatkan kemampuan menceritakan tokoh idola siswa kelas VII C di SMP Negeri 6 Cimahi Tahun Ajaran 2015/2016

Mining Biclusters of Similar Values with Triadic Concept Analysis

Biclustering numerical data became a popular data-mining task in the beginning of 2000's, especially for analysing gene expression data. A bicluster reflects a strong association between a subset of objects and a subset of attributes in a numerical object/attribute data-table. So called biclusters of similar values can be thought as maximal sub-tables with close values. Only few methods address a complete, correct and non redundant enumeration of such patterns, which is a well-known intractable problem, while no formal framework exists. In this paper, we introduce important links between biclustering and formal concept analysis. More specifically, we originally show that Triadic Concept Analysis (TCA), provides a nice mathematical framework for biclustering. Interestingly, existing algorithms of TCA, that usually apply on binary data, can be used (directly or with slight modifications) after a preprocessing step for extracting maximal biclusters of similar values.Comment: Concept Lattices and their Applications (CLA) (2011
