Videotaped samples of aphasia treatment sessions were coded, using the Clinical Interaction Analysis System (CIAS), a 39-category system for recording the events that occur in clinician-patient interactions during aphasia treatment sessions. These coded records were then sampled according to various schedules and procedures and the fidelity with which each sampling schedule and procedure represented the content of the entire treatment record was evaluated. In addition, trained observers coded videotaped samples of treatment, using the CIAS with a number of sampling schedules and procedures. The fidelity with which these observers' records represented the content of the treatment sessions sampled was then evaluated. The results of the analysis indicated that momentary sampling at intervals distributed throughout the session generates more accurate records of session content than single longer samples taken from the session, unless those single samples comprise a major part of the session, and that sampling representativeness remains high even when only one event in ten is sampled, if sampled events are uniformly distributed throughout the session.

This paper describes the Clinical Interaction Analysis System (CIAS), a system for recording events that occur in treatment sessions for aphasic individuals. The development of the CIAS is summarized, the event categories contained in the CIAS are described, and the uses of the CIAS are discussed. Information about the reliability of the CIAS is also presented.

Herd health and production management (HH&PM) are critical aspects of production animal veterinary practice; therefore, dairy veterinarians need to effectively deliver these services. However, limited research that can inform veterinary education has been conducted to characterise these farm visits. The aim of the present study was to assess the applicability of action cameras (eg, GoPro cameras) worn by veterinarians to provide on-farm recordings, and the suitability of these recordings for comprehensive communication analyses. Seven veterinarians each recorded three dairy HH&PM visits. Recordings were analysed using the Roter interaction analysis system (RIAS), which has been used to evaluate medical conversations in human and companion animal contexts, and provided insights regarding the importance of effective clinical communication. However, the RIAS has never been used in a production animal environment. Results of this pilot study indicate that on-farm recordings were suitable for RIAS coding. Dairy practitioners use a substantial amount of talk allocated to relationship-building and farmer education but that communication patterns of the same veterinarian vary considerably between farm visits. Consecutive studies using this method will provide observational data for research purposes and promise to aid in the improvement of veterinary education through identification of communication priorities and gaps in dairy advisory discussions.

AbstractMetabolic biomonitoring in humans is typically based on the sampling of blood, plasma or urine. Although established in the clinical routine, these sampling procedures are often associated with a variety of compliance issues and are impractical for performing time-course studies. The analysis of the minute amounts of sweat sampled from the fingertip enables a solution to this challenge. Sweat sampling from the fingertip is non-invasive and robust and can be accomplished repeatedly by untrained personnel. This matrix represents a rich source for metabolomic phenotyping, which is exemplified by the detection of roughly 50’000 features per sample. Moreover, the determined limits of detection demonstrate that the ingestion of 200 μg of a xenobiotic may be sufficient for its detection in sweat from the fingertip. The feasibility of short interval sampling of sweat from the fingertips was confirmed in three time-course studies after coffee consumption or ingestion of a caffeine capsule, successfully monitoring all known caffeine metabolites. Fluctuations in the rate of sweat production were accounted for by mathematical modelling to reveal individual rates of caffeine uptake, metabolism and clearance. Biomonitoring using sweat from the fingertip has far reaching implications for personalised medical diagnostics and biomarker discovery.

The main purpose of this study was to explore teacher-student verbal interaction in the secondary level classes using the Flanders Interaction Analysis system (FIA).  Its findings and conclusions may stimulate teachers at the secondary level to improve their teaching behaviour in order to maximize students’ learning.

A new orbital interaction analysis system, "LUMMOX", is based on two theories of "Paired Interacting Orbital (PIO)" and "Localized Frontier Orbital (LFO)", which have been developed by Fujimoto et al. LUMMOX can readily estimate the reactivity of an interacting system A–B of various sizes with the same A by comparing with the same number of the interacting orbitals. By applying LUMMOX, we report herein the primary orbital interaction on the phosphine-palladium complexes ( PF 3 Pd , PH 3 Pd , PMe 3 Pd , PPh 3 Pd ) continuously changes from the donative to back-donative interaction.

The purpose of this study was to compare the teaching process interaction behavior of teachers who planned for classes with those who did not plan. Senior physical education majors served as the teaching subjects for this study—six in the planning (experimental) group and six in the no-plan (control) group. Each teacher taught the same lesson content for a 15-minute episode. The planning group spent 1 hour before the lesson writing explicit plans, while the control group was given 2 minutes just before the lesson to gather their thoughts and be informed of the content to be covered. The behaviors of all teachers were observed by the Cheffers Adaptation of the Flanders’ Interaction Analysis System (CAFIAS). The results indicated significant differences in only two interaction categories: amount of directions given and the amount of silence. Both variables were better for the planning group.
