A Pragmatic Analysis of Questions and Responses in American Defense Attorneys' Cross-examinations

The structure of the interrogation process in cross-examinations is said to be diverse and complex in terms of question-response typology. This is because the counsel has to extract truth from an opposing party’s witness whose views are expected to advocate that party's views regarding the case. Accordingly, the study which is basically quantitative in nature aims to investigate what the examining party intends to obtain out of these questions and which of these questions are the most prevalently used. It also aims to measure the amount of cooperativity in witnesses' responses. Accordingly, three transcripts of cross-examination have been analyzed, using a pragmatically-oriented approach. The approach draws on Stenstorm (1984) and Archer's (2005) classification of questions; Stenstorm (1984) and Archer's (2002) classificatory scheme of responses which is based on the strategies of violating Grice's (1975) maxims to determine the degree of cooperation on the part of respondents. The analysis revealed a diversity in the attorneys' method, making the use of four types of leading questions as well as non-leading ones represented by WH questions. The latter recorded the least percentage in comparison with the overall percentage of leading questions. That is; a preference is shed on the part of cross-examining counsel towards leading over non-leading questions. Moreover, the majority of the responses given have indicated the witnesses' commitment to the purpose and format of the questions posed, showing a high level of cooperativity on the part of those witnesses

The question-response system in Mandarin conversation

This article provides an overview of the question-response system in Mandarin Chinese from a conversation analytic perspective. Based on 403 question-response sequences from natural conversations, this study discusses the grammatical coding of Mandarin questions, social actions accomplished by questions, and formats of responses. It documents three grammatical types of questions, that is, polar questions (including sub-types), Q-word questions, and alternative questions. These questions are shown to perform a range of social actions, confirmation request being the most frequent. Also, this article reveals that the preferred format for confirming polar answers is interjection, while that for disconfirming polar answers is repetition. It provides a starting point for future studies on Mandarin questions and responses as well as a reference point for further crosslinguistic comparison.

Evaluating Conscious Consumption: A Discussion of a Survey Development Process

This paper is the outcome of a course project for Economics of Sustainability (Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts). Facilitated and under the direction of the instructor, course participants designed a survey instrument where questions and responses were developed to be indicators of behavioral bias related to the environment. The consumer good targeted in the survey was convenience-based coffee consumption, and convenience was defined by the use of single-use disposable coffee cups. The discussion highlights the survey development process including literature review-based expectations specific to each question. The paper concludes with next steps, which involve the administration of the instrument and evaluation of the survey results.

Implementasi Framework Codeigniter Pada Perancangan Chatbot Interaktif Menerapkan Metode Waterfall

In delivering information related to lecture activities at the National University, the Information Systems Study Program has prepared a special website, namely http://si.ftki.unas.ac.id/. The website contains a lot of information about important activities or announcements, it's just that the need for other supporting information makes users have the need to ask further questions regarding the information contained on the website. Actually the Website http://si.ftki.unas.ac.id/ has provided the RoomChat feature for question and answer sessions between admin and users, but this feature is still ineffective, such as there is a time lag between questions and responses or unable to provide services for 24 jam. In this study, the authors wanted to design the chatbot feature using the waterfall method, which was carried out sequentially starting from the planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing to maintenance stages. While working on the application, this chatbot was created using the Codeigniter framework with the mysqli database. This chatbot feature will result in a more interactive question and answer session, so that two-way communication with users can run smoothly.

Improving surgical safety checklist completion using distributed responsibility of checklist item completion among operating room team members: A quality improvement project

Background. Surgical safety checklists are a standard of care for safe operating room practice, but their use has not been associated with reductions in adverse perioperative outcomes in some settings. Non-adherence and partial checklist completion may contribute to this lack of effect. Objective. To examine whether a surgical safety checklist using distributed responsibility of checklist item completion, by allocation of questions and responses among operating room staff, increases surgical safety checklist compliance. Methods. With Quality and Risk Management approval, a multicomponent strategy consisting of novel surgical safety checklist focused on distributed responsibility of checklist item completion was evaluated in orthopaedic operating rooms at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, from July to August 2016 using a before-and-after study design. The intervention consisted of a wall-mounted reusable checklist with questions and responses designated to specific operating room team members. Team training was provided beforehand, operating room team leaders were identified to promote the intervention, and revisions to the checklist content and process were implemented based on feedback on feasibility and clinical sensibility. Results. A total of 45 and 59 children were included in pre-intervention and intervention groups, respectively. Overall, 87% (1,354/1,560) of checklist items were observed. Checklist item completion was significantly increased in the post-intervention group (77% [615/802]) compared with the pre-intervention group (27% [150/522]) (P<0.001). Conclusions. These findings suggest that a multicomponent strategy of designating responsibility for item completion among operating room team members and using a memory aid can improve compliance with surgical safety checklist item completion.

When Emergency Becomes Everyday Life: Revisiting a Central EiE Concept in the Context of the War on Drugs

Though "emergency" is a key concept in the field of education in emergencies, scholars and practitioners have long been ambivalent about this term and what conditions it can refer to. In this article, drawing from the work of anthropologist Janet Roitman, I critically revisit the concepts of emergency and crisis, and propose that understanding emergency primarily as a moment of shock or the unexpected event obscures how seemingly normal conditions may produce their own impasses. Rather than being characterized by a consensus of meaning, crises entail narrative constructions that create new temporalities and frame certain questions and responses as possible, others as not. In this article, I juxtapose two narrative constructions of crisis in popular culture to explore how narrative constructions of the war on drugs can produce jarringly different accounts of the crises they are said to represent. I suggest that explicitly attending to the underlying politics of crisis narration—though possibly complicating emergency response—is vital to naming and resolving possible ethical blind spots and impasses in the field of education in emergencies.
