The algorithm method: how internet dating became everyone's route to a perfect love match
Six million Britons are looking for their perfect partner online before Valentine's day on Friday, but their chance of success may depend on clever maths rather than charismaIn the Summer of 2012, Chris McKinlay was finishing his maths dissertation at the University of California in Los Angeles. It meant a lot of late nights as he ran complex calculations through a powerful supercomputer in the early hours of the morning, when computing time was cheap. While his work hummed away, he whiled away time on online dating sites, but he didn't have a lot of luck – until one night, when he noted a connection between the two acti...

Secondary School Teachers' Beliefs, Attitudes, and Reactions to Stuttering.
Conclusion: Although teachers reported that they feel confident in how to deal with stuttering, and although it is possible that students who stutter do not feel the need to talk about their stuttering, teachers could consult their students on this matter. This way, they would acknowledge the stuttering and likely encourage the students to approach them when they feel the need.

Common core writing and language standards and aligned state assessments: a national survey of teacher beliefs and attitudes
Abstract
A random sample of 482 teachers in grades 3 through 8 from across the United States were surveyed about (a) their perceptions of the version of the Common Core writing and language standards adopted by their state and their state’s writing assessment, (b) their preparation to teach writing, and (c) their self-efficacy beliefs for teaching writing. Regardless of grade, a majority of teachers believed that the adopted standards are more rigorous than prior standards, provide clear expectations for students that can be straightforwardly translated into activities and lessons, and have pushed them to addres...

Key factors that influence government policies and decision making about healthcare priorities: Lessons for the field of eating disorders
Abstract
Worldwide, the demand for healthcare exceeds what individuals and governments are able to afford. Priority setting is therefore inevitable, and mental health services have often been given low priority in the decision‐making process. Drawing on established economic criteria, and specifically the work of Philip Musgrove, key factors which influence government decision‐making about health priorities are reviewed. These factors include the size of the health burden, the availability of cost‐effective interventions to reduce the burden, whether private markets can provide the necessary treatment efficiently, whe...

Abstract A32: Developing a practical dissemination and implementation framework to accelerate adoption of cancer innovations
Conclusion: If we can trigger the demand (Pull) for evidence-based cancer innovations, whether the demand is explicit or implicit, we are likely to have more success with dissemination efforts. Evidence-based practice is essential in health care and health promotion. It provides direction and rationale for guiding health behaviors, decision-makings and treatment. Therefore, an innovative and a multi-level approach framework is needed to accelerate integration of lessons learned from science into community health care.Funding Source: AHRQ 1R24HS022063-01Citation Format: Helen Lam, Michael Quinn, Edwin Chandraskar, Reena Pat...
