Disorders related to sexuality and gender identity in the ICD 11: revising the ICD 10 classification based on current scientific evidence, best clinical practices, and human rights considerations
Venue: World psychiatry official journal of the World Psychiatric Association

In the World Health Organization's forthcoming eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD 11) substantial changes have been proposed to the ICD 10 classification of mental and behavioural disorders related to sexuality and gender identity. These concern the following ICD 10 disorder groupings: F52 Sexual dysfunctions, not caused by organic disorder or disease; F64 Gender identity disorders; F65 Disorders of sexual preference; and F66 Psychological and behavioural disorders associated with sexual development and orientation. Changes have been proposed based on advances in research and clinical practice, and major shifts in social attitudes and in relevant policies, laws, and human rights standards. This paper describes the main recommended changes, the rationale and evidence considered, and important differences from the DSM 5. An integrated classification of sexual dysfunctions has been proposed for a new chapter on Conditions Related to Sexual Health, overcoming the mind/body separation that is inherent in ICD 10. Gender identity disorders in ICD 10 have been reconceptualized as Gender incongruence, and also proposed to be moved to the new chapter on sexual health. The proposed classification of Paraphilic disorders distinguishes between conditions that are relevant to public health and clinical psychopathology and those that merely reflect private behaviour. ICD 10 categories related to sexual orientation have been recommended for deletion from the ICD 11.
Inclusion of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in Stage 3 Meaningful Use Guidelines: A Huge Step Forward for LGBT Health.
Venue: LGBT health

Final rules issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology in October 2015 require electronic health record software certified for Meaningful Use to include sexual orientation and gender identity (SO/GI) fields. This is a critical step toward making SO/GI data collection a standard practice in clinical settings. Sexual orientation identity whether one identifies as gay, lesbian, or bisexual correlates with behavioral health burden, and it is important to collect these data. Providers should also collect sex assigned at birth data as well as current gender identity data. Training of clinical staff in collection and use of SO/GI data, education of LGBT patients, and SO/GI nondiscrimination policies are critical for successful implementation.
Measuring organizational cultural intelligence

This study presents a five factor, 21 item measure of cultural intelligence (CQ) at the organizational level of analysis. This instrument builds on the conceptual model espoused by Ang and Inkpen (2008) The scale included items elicited through a literature review, the use of the Delphi technique with a panel of experts, and tested on 234 full time employees of 10 North American nonprofit organizations. The five factors are: (a) leadership behavior, (b) adaptability, (c) training and development, (d) organizational intentionality, and (e) organizational inclusion. The findings of this study contribute to a small, but growing body of literature on organizational CQ not based on aggregate individual level data or referent shift data. The findings provide insights for both researchers and practitioners, and they have implications for leadership appointments and leadership development in organizations seeking to develop organizational CQ.
Spontaneous fertility and pregnancy outcomes amongst 480 women with Turner syndrome.
Venue: Human reproduction

What are the prevalence and the outcomes of spontaneous pregnancies (SP) in a large cohort of French women with Turner syndrome (TS) SUMMARY ANSWER Amongst 480 women with TS, 27 women (5.6% had a total of 52 SP, with 30 full term deliveries for 18 women.  Primary ovarian insufficiency is a classic feature of TS. So far, few studies have evaluated the rate of SP in these patients.  The French Ministry of Health set up a National Reference Centre for Rare Growth Disorders (CRMERC) including TS. We studied a cohort of adult TS patients from seven endocrine units (Saint Antoine, Pitie Salpetriere, Bicetre, Lyon, Marseille, Brest, Reims Hospitals) belonging to this centre, between January 1999 and January 2014.  A total of 480 adult patients with TS were included. The patients' clinical characteristics, karyotypes and reproductive histories had been collected, after informed consent, in a web database called CEMARA. Our reference population was issued from a database belonging to the French Health Ministry, collecting pregnancy outcomes in the French general population. In order to find predictive characteristics of SP, TS with spontaneous pregnancies were compared with non pregnant TS patients from our cohort.  There were 27 patients (5.6% who had a total of 52 SP. The two predictive factors which correlated with occurrence of a SP were spontaneous menarche and mosaic karyotype. The median delay to conception was 6 months (range 0 84) Miscarriage occurred in 16 pregnancies, 30.8% versus 15% in the general French population (P 0.01) The remaining pregnancy outcomes were legal abortion (n 2) medical interruption (n 3) intrauterine fetal death (n 1) and delivery at term (n 30) Caesarean section rates were higher than in the general population, respectively 46.7% versus 21% (P 0.001) Pregnancy induced hypertensive disorders (PHDs) occurred in four cases (13.3% including two cases of mild pre eclampsia (6.7% Neither aortic root dilatation nor aortic dissection were observed. The median birthweight was 3030 g (range 2020 3460) Two cases of TS were identified in the 17 daughters issued from this cohort.  It would have been interesting to evaluate AMH levels and SP occurrence, as a predictive factor. Unfortunately, hormonal measurements were missing for some patients. Prospective studies are necessary to display prognostic values of AMH for SP and thus better target fertility preservation programmes in TS patients.  This study suggests that pregnancy outcomes in SPs are more favourable than those after oocyte donation in TS patients. However, the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities remains high. Our study will be useful in order to give patients with TS, their families, paediatricians and physicians involved in reproduction, better counselling concerning their fertility.
Fertility Preservation in Women with Turner Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review and Practical Guidelines.
Venue: Journal of pediatric and adolescent gynecology

In this article we review the existing fertility preservation options for women diagnosed with Turner syndrome and provide practical guidelines for the practitioner. Turner syndrome is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in women, occurring in approximately 1 in 2500 live births. Women with Turner syndrome are at extremely high risk for primary ovarian insufficiency and infertility. Although approximately 70% 80% have no spontaneous pubertal development and 90% experience primary amenorrhea, the remainder might possess a small residual of ovarian follicles at birth or early childhood. The present challenge is to identify these women as early in life as is possible, to allow them to benefit from a variety of existing fertility preservation options. To maximize the benefits of fertility preservation, all women with Turner syndrome should be evaluated by an expert as soon as possible in childhood because the vast majority will have their ovarian reserve depleted before adulthood. Cryopreservation of mature oocytes and embryos is a proven fertility preservation approach, and cryopreservation of ovarian tissue is a promising technique with a growing number of live births, but remains investigational. Oocyte cryopreservation has been performed in children with Turner syndrome as young as 13 years of age and ovarian tissue cryopreservation in affected prepubertal children. However, current efficacy of these approaches is unknown in this cohort. For those who have already lost their ovarian reserve, oocyte or embryo donation and adoption are strategies that allow fulfillment of the desire for parenting. For those with Turner syndrome related cardiac contraindications to pregnancy, use of gestational surrogacy allows the possibility of biological parenting using their own oocytes. Alternatively, gestational surrogacy can serve to carry pregnancy resulting from the use of donor oocytes or embryos, if needed.
Updatable, Accurate, Diverse, and Scalable Recommendations for Interactive Applications
Venue: TIIS

Recommender systems form the backbone of many interactive systems. They incorporate user feedback to personalize the user experience typically via personalized recommendation lists. As users interact with a system, an increasing amount of data about a user's preferences becomes available, which can be leveraged for improving the systems' performance. Incorporating these new data into the underlying recommendation model is, however, not always straightforward. Many models used by recommender systems are computationally expensive and, therefore, have to perform offline computations to compile the recommendation lists. For interactive applications, it is desirable to be able to update the computed values as soon as new user interaction data is available: updating recommendations in interactive time using new feedback data leads to better accuracy and increases the attraction of the system to the users. Additionally, there is a growing consensus that accuracy alone is not enough and user satisfaction is also dependent on diverse recommendations. In this work, we tackle this problem of updating personalized recommendation lists for interactive applications in order to provide both accurate and diverse recommendations. To that end, we explore algorithms that exploit random walks as a sampling technique to obtain diverse recommendations without compromising on efficiency and accuracy. Specifically, we present a novel graph vertex ranking recommendation algorithm called RP3b that reranks items based on three hop random walk transition probabilities. We show empirically that RP3b provides accurate recommendations with high long tail item frequency at the top of the recommendation list. We also present approximate versions of RP3b and the two most accurate previously published vertex ranking algorithms based on random walk transition probabilities and show that these approximations converge with an increasing number of samples. To obtain interactively updatable recommendations, we additionally show how our algorithm can be extended for online updates at interactive speeds. The underlying random walk sampling technique makes it possible to perform the updates without having to recompute the values for the entire dataset. In an empirical evaluation with three real world datasets, we show that RP3b provides highly accurate and diverse recommendations that can easily be updated with newly gathered information at interactive speeds 100ms)
Conflicting language ideologies and contradictory language practices in Singaporean multilingual families

Informed by family language policy (FLP) as the theoretical framework, I illustrate in this paper how language ideologies can be incongruous and language policies can be conflicting through three multilingual families in Singapore representing three major ethnic groups Chinese, Malay and Indian. By studying their family language audits, observing their language practices, and engaging in conversations about their language ideologies, I look at what these families do and do not do and what they claim to do and not to do. Data were collected over a period of 6 months with more than 700 minutes of recording of actual interactions. Analysis of the data reveals that language ideologies are 'power inflected' and tend to become the source of educational and social tensions which in turn shape family language practices. In Singapore these tensions are illustrated by the bilingual policy recognising mother tongues (MTs) and English as official languages, and its educational policy establishing English as the medium of instruction. The view of English as having instrumental values and MTs as having cultural functions reveals that language choices and practices in family domains are value laden in everyday interactions and explicitly negotiated and established through FLP.
Nurturing bilingual learners: challenges and concerns in Singapore

Singapore's bilingual policy legitimises English not only as the language of governmental administration and interethnic communication, but also as the medium of instruction in all schools on all levels and across all subjects except mother tongues (MTs) As a result of these politics of language recognition, a visible shift has occurred in all ethnic groups away from MTs towards English. To rectify the language shift situation, the government has emphasised that developing bilingualism and raising bilingual children should begin in preschools. In this paper, we examine two top down official documents: Review of Mother Tongue Languages Report, issued in 2011, and Nurturing Early Learners Framework for Mother Tongue Languages, developed in 2013. Attempting to identify some of the complex factors that influence language shift, we present an intertextual analysis of the Report and the curriculum Framework. In doing so, we compare the consistencies and locate the implicit inconsistencies in the policy position on bilingual education in preschools. We conclude the article by outlining the implications for changing the current bilingual educational models and providing teacher training programmes that maximise the learning opportunities of young bilingual learners.
Teaching Chinese to International Students in China: Political Rhetoric and Ground Realities

This paper presents an on going study of the enactment of The International Promotion of Chinese Policy (Guo Ji Yi Yu Tui Yan Zheng Ce It explores how Chinese teaching and learning take place in a Chinese university under the Study in China Programme which allows international students, after a period of intensive Chinese language learning, to transfer to academic courses taught in Chinese for Chinese students at the tertiary level. This programme has expanded in recent years in response to the government's goal to enhance China's soft power globally. By studying policy documents, engaging in conversations with students and teachers and observing classrooms, our study reveals that there are conflicting interests of social actors at national, institutional and individual levels, causing considerable conflicts and tensions in three aspects: (1) the divergent goals of internationalisation between the government and the higher education institution; (2) the imperative need of academic Chinese for subject learning and the actual offer of Chinese for everyday communication and (3) the competing role of English versus Chinese as a lingua franca for international students in the university setting. These conflicts make it difficult for international students to benefit from the subject courses, and for universities to implement successful language programmes for international students, and this renders the political objective of this programme difficult to achieve.
Morphological Awareness and Reading Development in Bilingual English Chinese Children in Singapore

Addressing two aspects of morphological awareness derivational and compound this study investigates the relationships between morphological awareness and vocabulary and reading comprehension in English Chinese bilingual primary 3 children in Singapore (N 76) Comparable tasks in Chinese and English were administered to examine the children's morphological awareness, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. The results show that morphological awareness is highly related to vocabulary and reading comprehension, with higher correlations between morphological awareness and reading comprehension than between morphological awareness and vocabulary. This indicates that morphological awareness may have direct influence on reading comprehension beyond the mediating effect of vocabulary. Furthermore, the results indicate that children displayed more compound than derivational morphological awareness for Chinese due to the dominance of compound morphology in Chinese. However, the children also displayed similar levels of derivational and compound morphological awareness for English despite far more derivatives than compounds in English. The robust crosslinguistic correlations suggest that Chinese compound morphological knowledge plays a facilitating role not only in learning English compounds but also in learning transparently derived words that do not involve phonological or orthographic shifts.
Distinctiveness and Uniformity: Teaching Language in Singapore Primary Grades 1 and 2

This chapter presents data from a study of primary grade 1 and grade 2 (P1 and P2) lessons for Chinese, English, Malay and Tamil. There are few, if any, comparative studies which examine pedagogy in all four official languages in Singapore; therefore, our primary purpose is to investigate how classroom teaching is similar or different for the four languages. For this investigation, data are drawn from 62 lessons observed in 2009 after new language syllabi were introduced. Despite a continuing policy of maintaining separate teaching teams, materials, syllabi/curricula and teacher training for each language, many of the policies for language and education apply across all four languages. These include recent emphases on oral skill development, recommendations that schools develop more engaging pedagogies for young learners and common policies on assessment. Our data show that teaching across the four languages is remarkably similar, which we take to be evidence of the impact of the common policies and cultural beliefs about language education in Singapore primary schools.
Two sociolinguistic perspectives on multilingual families

Recent years have witnessed organized efforts to utilize social approaches to multilingualism in research on families, and thus to further delimit the multilingual family as a particular field of inquiry. This overview focuses on two recent such endeavors, a special issue of the journal Language Policy entitled "Family Language Policy" (Curdt Christiansen 2013) and a special issue of the journal Multilingua entitled "Multilingual Communication in Binational Families: Negotiating Languages, Identities and Everyday Tasks" (Ogiermann 2013) In this text, we review the contributions to these issues in detail and explore how each issue contributes to the conception and shaping of the multilingual family as the object of analysis. We consider the paradigms employed and characterize how the two journal issues complement one another. We suggest that, in addition to the family as a research focus and the presence of multiple languages, they are connected by the presence of metalinguistic behavior. The idea emerges, then, that what is understood through the lenses of policy and interaction might be more coherently interpreted through the lens of language management in the sense of Jernudd Neustupny (1987)

2016

To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, Universite Paul Valery Montpellier 3 orchestrated a 24 hour Shakespearean show at the university theatre (La Vignette) which was followed by a 14 hour version entitled After Shakespeare, that was performed during the popular Printemps des Comediens Montpellier festival. At the crossroads of theory and practice, and of various disciplines, this collaborative enterprise federated research centres and departments, as well as education and cultural partners. Both experimental marathon performances, directed by Laurent Berger, were the culmination of a large scale, year long project which challenged conventional pedagogic practices.
The 2016 revision to the World Health Organization classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemia.
Venue: Blood

The World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues was last updated in 2008. Since then, there have been numerous advances in the identification of unique biomarkers associated with some myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias, largely derived from gene expression analysis and next generation sequencing that can significantly improve the diagnostic criteria as well as the prognostic relevance of entities currently included in the WHO classification and that also suggest new entities that should be added. Therefore, there is a clear need for a revision to the current classification. The revisions to the categories of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemia will be published in a monograph in 2016 and reflect a consensus of opinion of hematopathologists, hematologists, oncologists, and geneticists. The 2016 edition represents a revision of the prior classification rather than an entirely new classification and attempts to incorporate new clinical, prognostic, morphologic, immunophenotypic, and genetic data that have emerged since the last edition. The major changes in the classification and their rationale are presented here.
Argumentation Mining: State of the Art and Emerging Trends
Venue: TOIT

Argumentation mining aims at automatically extracting structured arguments from unstructured textual documents. It has recently become a hot topic also due to its potential in processing information originating from the Web, and in particular from social media, in innovative ways. Recent advances in machine learning methods promise to enable breakthrough applications to social and economic sciences, policy making, and information technology: something that only a few years ago was unthinkable. In this survey article, we introduce argumentation models and methods, review existing systems and applications, and discuss challenges and perspectives of this exciting new research area.
