Echoic, tact, and textual transfer procedures have been proven successful in establishing simple intraverbals (Braam and Poling Applied Research in Mental Retardation, 4, 279-302, 1983; Luciano Applied Research in Mental Retardation, 102, 346-357, 1986; Watkins et al. The Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 7, 69-81, 1989). However, these strategies may be ineffective for some children due to the complexity of the targeted intraverbals. The current study investigated the use of a novel procedure which included a modified chaining procedure and textual prompts to establish intraverbal behavior in the form of telling short stories. Visual prompts and rule statements were used with some of the participants in order to produce the desired behavior change. Results indicated that the procedure was effective for teaching retelling of short stories in three children with autism.

Present-day machine translation tools often fail to accurately translate attributive clauses from Japanese to Chinese. In light of this, this paper investigates the linguistic problem underlying such difficulties, namely how does the semantic role of the modified noun affect the selection of translation patterns for attributive clauses, from a linguistic perspective.

Most current studies use body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference (WC) to define obesity, and BMI, which reflects subcutaneous fat independent of visceral fat, is the most commonly used indicator of obesity. WC reflects subcutaneous and visceral fat. This research aims to investigate the effect of obesity on mortality in people with digestive diseases.

Article Synopsis
  • Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a high mortality rate and recent studies support the use of neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) to improve survival outcomes.
  • A study analyzing data from 2,121 PDAC patients in Louisiana found that Black patients were significantly less likely to receive NAT compared to White patients.
  • Receiving NAT was associated with a lower risk of death, showing improved overall survival, regardless of insurance or socio-economic factors, highlighting the need to address barriers to NAT access for Black patients with PDAC.
