Key Issues

AbstractIn the real world, there are choices between large, delayed, punctate rewards and small, more immediate rewards as well as choices between patterns and acts. A common element in these situations is the choice between long- and short-term interests. Key issues for future research appear to be how acts are restructured into larger patterns of behavior, and whether, as Rachlin implies, pattern perception is the cause of pattern generation.

AbstractThough a vast amount of dictionary analyses have been produced over the years, hardly any of these have mentioned the operative function, which has been overlooked in most lexicographical literature. With short analyses of 12 existing dictionaries ranging from the 18th century to the 21st century, this article shows that many dictionaries have indeed been produced to satisfy operative needs. Based on this result, it is clear that the operative function deserves a place in lexicographical theory. An interesting finding that came out of these analyses was that especially dictionaries from the 18th to the early 20th centuries (the old dictionaries) were written to accommodate several types of information needs that their users would come across in the real world, including operative needs, whereas the focus of most contemporary dictionaries is to satisfy linguistic information needs. This is an interesting change in focus, which this article criticises. Based on the above mentioned analyses, a number of questions are raised to guide future research into the operative function.

It is rare for research on augmented-reality games to examine equity and access as grounded in features of the actual neighborhoods where game play takes place, and in the affordances of communities and their built environments for gamified ambulatory physical activity in the real world. This chapter studies two diverse groups of middle-school youth, situated in urban and suburban areas, who wore activity monitors as they went through daily activities and played an online game that synced with their monitors. The game drew data from the wearable devices so that the more youth engaged in step-countable physical activity in the real world, the more game-world energy they earned. This chapter analyzes the actual communities where our participants' activity and game play was situated. The chapter lays out the multi-modal data sources in that analysis and provides some potential models that can be employed by others in related work. Finally, the chapter closes by articulating some directions and concerns for future research in a gamified physical world.

The Impact

e16249 Background: The difference between the FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GnP) regimens’ clinical trial designs limit the ability to generate cross-study comparisons. Therefore, there is a significant need to understand the impact of various demographic and clinical characteristics on the effectiveness of these systemic therapies in the real-world treatment setting. This study seeks to compare the real-world outcomes of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with frontline FOLFIRINOX or GnP. Methods: Patients with primary metastatic pancreatic cancer who received first-line (1L) FOLFIRINOX or GnP were identified in the COTA real-world database. The COTA database is a de-identified database of real-world data (RWD) derived from the electronic health records of healthcare providers in the United States. Real-world overall response rate (rwORR) was calculated as the proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Overall survival (OS) was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate analyses utilized Cox proportional hazards. Results: The overall qualified cohort (n=236) was stratified by 1L FOLFIRINOX (n=109) or GnP (n=127). Select patient characteristics are shown in table. Patients treated with 1L FOLFIRINOX showed greater rwORR as compared to those treated with GnP (68.8% vs. 55.9%, p=0.04). Additionally, patients treated with 1L FOLFIRINOX had longer median OS (14.4 vs 11.4 mos, respectively). In univariate analysis, patients treated with GnP had a greater chance of mortality (HR: 1.3, 95% CI: 1.0, 1.8, p=0.05). This relationship strengthened in multivariate analysis (GnP treated HR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.1, 2.1, p=0.01). Conclusions: Due to lack of enrollment of representative patients in clinical trials and in the absence of a comparative clinical trial, real-world experience with chemotherapy regimens provide critical insights on the outcome of treatments. In our cohort, patients treated with frontline GnP had a significantly greater chance of mortality as compared to patients treated with frontline FOLFIRINOX. The FOLFIRINOX cohort also showed greater rwORR. Future research will continue to expand on treatment patterns in subsequent lines of therapy, as well as emerging therapy types, in order to better understand the optimal treatment sequence in metastatic pancreatic cancer.[Table: see text]

AbstractMisinformation often has an ongoing effect on people’s memory and inferential reasoning even after clear corrections are provided; this is known as the continued influence effect. In pursuit of more effective corrections, one factor that has not yet been investigated systematically is the narrative versus non-narrative format of the correction. Some scholars have suggested that a narrative format facilitates comprehension and retention of complex information and may serve to overcome resistance to worldview-dissonant corrections. It is, therefore, a possibility that misinformation corrections are more effective if they are presented in a narrative format versus a non-narrative format. The present study tests this possibility. We designed corrections that are either narrative or non-narrative, while minimizing differences in informativeness. We compared narrative and non-narrative corrections in three preregistered experiments (total N = 2279). Experiment 1 targeted misinformation contained in fictional event reports; Experiment 2 used false claims commonly encountered in the real world; Experiment 3 used real-world false claims that are controversial, in order to test the notion that a narrative format may facilitate corrective updating primarily when it serves to reduce resistance to correction. In all experiments, we also manipulated test delay (immediate vs. 2 days), as any potential benefit of the narrative format may only arise in the short term (if the story format aids primarily with initial comprehension and updating of the relevant mental model) or after a delay (if the story format aids primarily with later correction retrieval). In all three experiments, it was found that narrative corrections are no more effective than non-narrative corrections. Therefore, while stories and anecdotes can be powerful, there is no fundamental benefit of using a narrative format when debunking misinformation.

For students who are actively engaged in social justice efforts on their college/university campuses, the transition from a relatively easy platform for engagement to the “real world” can pose significant challenges and create new realities for negotiation. Little is known, however, about the nature of these transitions into post-graduate social justice experiences. Drawing on an open-ended survey of recent graduates (92 respondents, 50% response rate) from a social justice minor in a school of social work, we explore the ways in which respondents described their transitions into social justice work, focusing on a set of key challenges that emerged from our analysis and reflecting on the implications of these challenges for social work practice and future research. Understanding some of the challenges in making this transition will help social work and non-profit administrators to better support this population’s future volunteer, service, and employment needs.

ABSTRACTApplied linguistics is a field concerned with issues pertaining to language(s) and literacies in the real world and with the people who learn, speak, write, process, translate, test, teach, use, and lose them in myriad ways. It is also fundamentally concerned withtransnationalism, mobility, andmultilingualism—the movement across cultural, linguistic, and (often) geopolitical or regional borders and boundaries. The field is, furthermore, increasingly concerned withidentityconstruction and expression through particular language and literacy practices across the life span, at home, in diaspora settings, in short-term and long-term sojourns abroad for study or work, and in other contexts and circumstances. In this article, I discuss some recent areas in which applied linguists have investigated the intersections of language (multilingualism), identity, and transnationalism. I then present illustrative studies and some recurring themes and issues.

Challenges And Opportunities

Recent years have seen significant technical progress on robot planning, enabling robots to compute actions and motions to accomplish challenging tasks involving driving, flying, walking, or manipulating objects. However, robots that have been commercially deployed in the real world typically have no or minimal planning capability. These robots are often manually programmed, teleoperated, or programmed to follow simple rules. Although these robots are highly successful in their respective niches, a lack of planning capabilities limits the range of tasks for which currently deployed robots can be used. In this article, we highlight key conclusions from a workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation in October 2013 that summarize opportunities and key challenges in robot planning and include challenge problems identified in the workshop that can help guide future research towards making robot planning more deployable in the real world.
