Abstract

Dit boek helpt professionals in de GGZ om patiënten met een laag IQ te herkennen, hun klachten adequaat te diagnosticeren en hen effectief te behandelen c.q. door te verwijzen. Juist patiënten met een lager IQ hebben een groter risico op het ontwikkelen van allerhande psychiatrische stoornissen. Onjuiste diagnostiek of een niet-aansluitende behandeling veroorzaakt onnodig lijden bij de patiënt en hoge maatschappelijke kosten.&#13;&#13;Circa 15% van de Nederlandse bevolking heeft een IQ onder de 85. Het grootste deel van deze groep heeft een IQ tussen 70-85. Dat noemen we zwakbegaafd. Over hen gaat dit boek. Psychiatrische aandoeningen worden in deze patiëntengroep, bij gebrek aan specifieke richtlijnen, zowel onder- als overgediagnosticeerd. Behandelmogelijkheden aangepast aan het cognitieve niveau zijn vaak niet algemeen bekend of niet voorhanden.&#13;&#13;Behandeling van patiënten met een laag IQ in de GGZ geeft handvatten voor het herkennen van deze patiëntengroep in de dagelijkse GGZ-praktijk. Het gaat uitgebreid in op diagnostiek en behandeling van deze groep. Het leert u hoe u effectief met deze patiënten een gesprek kunt voeren. Door het hele boek heen zijn diverse aansprekende casussen verwerkt.&#13;&#13;Het boek richt zich op psychiaters, psychologen en verpleegkundigen en andere professionals werkzaam in de GGZ-praktijk. Het boek is ook goed bruikbaar in opleidingen binnen de GGZ.

Abstract

We are on a cusp of a chatbot revolution that will be extremely important to human culture. Chatbots are already everywhere. As some of the chapters in this book detail, they are present in e-commerce, banking, health care, education and libraries. This book consists of two sections. First of all, a run through the history of chatbots, some thoughts about the future, and an examination of how chatbots are changing cultural activity in all sorts of spheres. This section addresses Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence. Part 2 is all about building your own chatbot, which is easy to do and no longer requires any coding skills. There are several platforms that allow you to intuitively create chatbots for free. This book uses SnatchBot.me to explain how you can build a basic bot, then make it more sophisticated, incorporating features such as the ability to process payments and broadcast messages to Facebook Messenger lists.

Abstract

Experimental Robotics XV is the collection of papers presented at the International Symposium on Experimental Robotics, Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan on October 3-6, 2016. 73 scientific papers were selected and presented after peer review. The papers span a broad range of sub-fields in robotics including aerial robots, mobile robots, actuation, grasping, manipulation, planning and control and human-robot interaction, but shared cutting-edge approaches and paradigms to experimental robotics. The readers will find a breadth of new directions of experimental robotics. The International Symposium on Experimental Robotics is a series of bi-annual symposia sponsored by the International Foundation of Robotics Research, whose goal is to provide a forum dedicated to experimental robotics research. Robotics has been widening its scientific scope, deepening its methodologies and expanding its applications. However, the significance of experiments remains and will remain at the center of the discipline. The ISER gatherings are a venue where scientists can gather and talk about robotics based on this central tenet. .

Abstract

This volume presents a collection of papers presented at the 15th International Symposium of Robotic Research (ISRR). ISRR is the biennial meeting of the International Foundation of Robotic Research (IFRR) and its 15th edition took place in Flagstaff, Arizona on December 9 to December 12, 2011. As for the previous symposia, ISRR 2011 followed up on the successful concept of a mixture of invited contributions and open submissions. Therefore approximately half of the 37 contributions were invited contributions from outstanding researchers selected by the IFRR officers and the program committee, and the other half were chosen among the open submissions after peer review. This selection process resulted in a truly excellent technical program which featured some of the very best of robotic research. The program was organized around oral presentation in a single-track format and included for the first time a small number of interactive presentations. The symposium contributions contained in this volume report on a variety of new robotics research results covering a broad spectrum including perception, manipulation, grasping, vehicles and design, navigation, control and integration, estimation and SLAM. .

Abstract

This book discusses megatrends and subsequently applies them to the air transport industry from a legal, ethical and economic perspective. Starting with a detailed discussion on what these megatrends are, the book provides an essential overview of megatrends and air transport, including analytical discussions on how megatrends could affect basic issues such as nationalism and sovereignty, market access in air transport, and commercial space transport. It also delves into the rights of the airline passenger as affected by megatrends. Further, the book analyses a broad range of topics, including: the digital transformation of air transport; technology and air transport; robotic pilots and their legal ramifications; the human-robot interface and the law with focus on the pilot; cognitive computing; and issues of empowerment and connectivity. It discusses in detail United Nations initiatives and initiatives of the International Civil Aviation Organization, considering aspects such as: the new world order; e-trends and air transport; apps that make air travel easier; and apps designed to help the aviation authorities. Further topics include artificial intelligence and air transport and related technical, ethical and economic issues, as well as a legal inquiry into manufacturer’s defects; design defects; and liability for failure to warn of defects. Questions are posed and answers provided on the effects of artificial intelligence and legal issues stemming from its use in air transport. Two major discussions follow on millennials and air transport, and on the Internet of everything as related to air transport. The conclusion ties in megatrends with air transport and offers the industry a way forward for adapting to these trends.

Abstract

This thesis describes the application of a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to accretion disc winds in two types of systems spanning 9 orders of magnitude in mass and size. In both cases, the results provide important new insights. On small scales, the presence of disc winds in accreting white dwarf binary systems has long been inferred from the presence of ultraviolet absorption lines. Here, the thesis shows that the same winds can also produce optical emission lines and a recombination continuum. On large scales, the thesis constructs a simple model of disc winds in quasars that is capable of explaining both the observed absorption and emission signatures – a crucial advance that supports a disc-wind based unification scenario for quasars. Lastly, the thesis also includes a theoretical investigation into the equivalent width distribution of the emission lines in quasars, which reveals a major challenge to all unification scenarios.
