A Change Talk Model for Abstinence Based on Web-Based Anonymous Gambler Chat Meeting Data by Using an Automatic Change Talk Classifier : Development Study

Background: Change and sustain talks (negative and positive comments) on gambling have been relevant for determining gamblers’ outcomes but they have not been used to clarify the abstinence process in anonymous gambler meetings. Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a change talk model for abstinence based on data extracted from web-based anonymous gambler chat meetings by using an automatic change talk classifier. Methods: This study used registry data from the internet. The author accessed web-based anonymous gambler chat meetings in Japan and sampled 1.63 million utterances (two-sentence texts) from 267 abstinent gamblers who have remained abstinent for at least three years and 1625 nonabstinent gamblers. The change talk classifier in this study automatically classified gamblers’ utterances into change and sustain talks. Results: Abstinent gamblers showed higher proportions of change talks and lower probability of sustain talks compared with nonabstinent gamblers. The change talk model for abstinence, involving change and sustain talks, classified abstinent and nonabstinent gamblers through the use of a support vector machine with a radial basis kernel function. The model also indicated individual evaluation scores for abstinence and the ideal proportion of change talks for all participants according to their previous utterances. Conclusions: Abstinence likelihood among gamblers can be increased by providing personalized evaluation values and indicating the optimal proportion of change talks. Moreover, this may help to prevent severe mental, social, and financial problems caused by the gambling disorder

Pembukaan Lahan Perkebunan Perspektif Undang-undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1960 Tentang Peraturan Dasar Pokok Agraria (Studi terhadap Pembukaan Lahan Perkebunan Lada di Desa Pasirputih, Kecamatan Tukak Sadai, Kabupaten Bangka Selatan)

Most People around this country must have their own ways and mechanism for land issues before the form of written legislation is being publicized including people in Bangka Island. For example, the plantation land in Pasirputih Village, Tukak Sadai District, South Bangka Regency is arranged orderly. There are several requirements that must be obey in order to open the plantation land, such as they must be ‘herenteng' (equal) between one plantation land and others. Besides, there are several prohibitions when opening the plantation land that shouldn't be break by the people, those are ‘apit' and ‘kaet'. These prohibitions are not written, but still being obeyed by the people.

Advantage of empty-chair dialogue over emotion-focused couples therapy

Couples with marital infidelity have received many therapies, but the effective therapies for them were still unclear. The present case study utilized Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and Empty-Chair Dialogue Intervention (ECDI) for a couple with marital infidelity and aimed to show advantages of ECDI over EFCT. Our case was a Japanese heterosexual couple with husband’s infidelity. The husband also had alcohol abuse and bipolar disorder, whereas the wife assaulted him physically. During the first 6 monthly sessions, they were peaceful but wife’s physical assault suddenly occurred and interrupted the therapy. During the next 5 monthly sessions, EFCT was applied for them, but his hypomanic episode and her physical assault disturbed their emotionally responsive communication during the sessions. During the last 5 biweekly sessions, ECDI was applied for the wife. She imaginary dialogued with the husband’s extramarital lovers, rather than the husband. During the ECDI sessions, she had been able to fall asleep during night and her physical assault on him had been disappeared. Even after the three-year follow up since the ECDI session, her physical assault and his marital infidelity had not occurred. Comparative advantages of ECDI over EFCT were discussed

MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH FOR AVOIDING RAPE

Effective self-protective behaviors, such as victim's physical resistance for avoiding sexual victimization have been studied. However, effective self-protective behavioral sequences, such as offender's physical violence followed by victim's physical resistance, have not been studied often. Our study aims to clarify these sequences through supervised machine learning approach. The samples consisted of 88 official documents on sexual crimes regarding women committed by male offenders incarcerated in a Japanese local prison. The crimes were classified as completed or attempted cases based on judges’ evaluation. All phrases in each crime description were also partitioned and coded according to the Japanese Penal Code. The Support Vector Machine learned the most likely sequences of behaviors to predict completed and attempted cases. Around 90% of cases were correctly predicted through the identification of sequences of behaviors. The sequence involving the offender’s violence followed by victim’s physical resistance predicted attempted sexual crime. However, the sequence involving victim’s general resistance followed by the offender’s violence predicted completed sexual crime. Timing of victim’s resistance and offender’s violence could affect potential avoidance of sexual victimization
