Résumé :
The Jeffreys divergence is a renown arithmetic symmetrization of the oriented Kullback–Leibler divergence broadly used in information sciences. Since the Jeffreys divergence between Gaussian mixture models is not available in closed-form, various techniques with advantages and disadvantages have been proposed in the literature to either estimate, approximate, or lower and upper bound this divergence. In this paper, we propose a simple yet fast heuristic to approximate the Jeffreys divergence between two univariate Gaussian mixtures with arbitrary number of components. Our heuristic relies on converting the mixtures into pairs of dually parameterized probability densities belonging to an exponential-polynomial family. To measure with a closed-form formula the goodness of fit between a Gaussian mixture and an exponential-polynomial density approximating it, we generalize the Hyvärinen divergence to α-Hyvärinen divergences. In particular, the 2-Hyvärinen divergence allows us to perform model selection by choosing the order of the exponential-polynomial densities used to approximate the mixtures. We experimentally demonstrate that our heuristic to approximate the Jeffreys divergence between mixtures improves over the computational time of stochastic Monte Carlo estimations by several orders of magnitude while approximating the Jeffreys divergence reasonably well, especially when the mixtures have a very small number of modes.

Résumé :
Ganesa bujnitzkii Gorbunov, 1946 was described from the bathyal of the Arctic Ocean north to the Laptev Sea based on only two specimens, which were the only representatives of this species mentioned by Gorbunov (1946b). Galkin (1955) noted that the shell sculpture of Ganesa bujnitzkii is similar to that of Cyclostrema valvatiodes (Jeffreys, 1883), and that the radula of the G. bujnitzkii differs from other species of the genus Ganesa Jeffreys, 1883 and members of the family Trochidae. Later, based on the original description, Warén (1993) proposed that the species may belong to the genus Skenea; however, he did not examine the type specimen. This opinion was reiterated by Kantor & Sysoev (2006).

Résumé :
The Bayes estimators of the shape parameter of exponentiated family of distributions have been derived by considering extension of Jeffreys' noninformative as well as conjugate priors under different scale-invariant loss functions, namely, weighted quadratic loss function, squared-log error loss function and general entropy loss function. The risk functions of these estimators have been studied. We have also considered the highest posterior density (HPD) intervals for the parameter and the equal-tail and HPD prediction intervals for future observation. Finally, we analyze one data set for illustration.

Résumé :
Joan Didion famously described the 1960s as ending abruptly on 9 August 1969 when word spread of the murders of seven people including Hollywood actor Sharon Tate. Fifty years on and the ‘Manson murders’ remain a focal point of interest in American popular culture and media. Netflix’s recent true-crime drama Mindhunter (2017–19) and Quentin Tarantino’s Once upon a Time in Hollywood () represent but two popular examples invoking the crimes. What is consistent across most popular renderings of the murders is the representation of the Family, and of their leader Charles Manson especially, as monstrous, warranting investigation. Utilizing both Jeffrey foundational text ‘Monster culture (seven theses)’ and Natasha Mikles and Joseph Laycock’s () ‘Five further theses on monster theory and religious studies’, this article examines the creation and representation of Charles Manson as a serial killer, a cult leader, but especially as a monster, in the popular culture context.

Résumé :
Introduction: The NHLBI funded Dissemination and Implementation of Stroke Prevention Looking at the Care Environment (DISPLACE) study was designed to improve implementation of stroke prevention guidelines in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA), particularly implementation of transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound for identifying individuals at risk of stroke. The study consists of 3 phases: 1) evaluating current stroke risk screening practices, 2) exploring barriers and facilitators to guideline implementation (needs assessment), and 3) designing and implementing interventions to improve stroke risk screening. A key barrier identified through qualitative methods during the needs assessment was a gap in education, including an overall lack of understanding among patients and caregivers of the purpose of TCD screening. This abstract describes the process of developing one of the interventions for phase 3, a rebranding and educational initiative. Methods: During the needs assessment, 27 key informant interviews and 173 complete surveys were conducted with individuals with SCA and their caregivers. Transcripts from the interviews and survey responses were reviewed to better understand the extent of educational gaps described by families as well as to guide initial rebranding prototypes. Prototypes were developed by the study team, including a new name and logo for TCD as well as an infographic. An interview guide was then created to obtain feedback on the prototypes from individuals with SCA and/or the parent or primary caregiver from two sites in the consortium. Cue cards with prototypes were included with prompts for the "think aloud" method to be applied during interviews. Cue cards were presented first with prototypes for the new name in black font on a white background to solicit feedback on the wording alone. Then, cue cards included various layouts, fonts, and graphics with the prototype names for in-depth feedback on the logo appearance. Finally, participants were asked questions pertaining to the infographic. Results: Twenty interviews were conducted with individuals with SCA and/or the parent/caregiver at two DISPLACE sites. Almost all participants (95%) made the connection between the wording prototypes and TCD without prompting. Many participants expressed that the word "stroke" in both options was "scary," and sometimes chose the option that was "less scary to them." However, many participants also felt that the word "stroke" was necessary to explain the reason for the procedure and would prompt families to ask about the screening as opposed to making them more fearful. The majority of participants (60%) chose "Sickle Stroke Screen" over "Stroke Risk Screen." Participants reported preferring this wording because it is specific to SCA, was easier to remember and represented a less "scary" option. The most commonly preferred logo is presented in Figure 1. Participant reasons for selecting this option were: it is easier to read; they preferred the stacked layout; it is less spread out; they liked the bold letters; it is more eye catching; and it includes the words "sickle cell" in the logo. When asked about preferences for an infographic, the majority described including a picture of a brain. Nearly all participants believed a reassuring message was needed to balance out the fear of the word "stroke." The message, "knowledge is power" provided this balance and resonated with nearly all participants (95%). Figure 2 presents the infographic developed based on participant feedback. Conclusions: Results from this educational rebranding effort highlight the importance of understanding patient and family educational gaps and incorporating their perspective and feedback into educational campaigns. The new logo and infographic were integrated into an educational pamphlet, informative posters and other material designed by the DISPLACE site principal investigators. Part 3 of the study is underway including implementation of the educational initiative at the DISPLACE sites. The new terminology and logo have also been broadly distributed throughout the US through community-based organizations to other patients, families, and stakeholders.

Résumé :
This chapter charts the career and intellectual evolution of Harvard Professor of Comparative Anatomy Jeffries Wyman from his first job as a Professor of Anatomy at Hampden-Sydney College to the curator of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. Born into a well-known family in Boston, Wyman appeared at first to be an unlikely racial scientist with few connections to slave societies. Wyman’s career and intellectual interests would change this dynamic. As a professor in Virginia in the 1840s, he relied on enslaved labor, and he exploited the bodies of enslaved people in the classroom. Later, in an 1857 trip to Suriname, Wyman racially analyzed enslaved people on plantations, and spent several weeks among the self-liberated Saamaka maroon community, describing them as having reverted to supposedly inferior African customs and practices.

« Outside those who have tried it, few appreciate the difficulties of behav-ioral scientists attempting to teach in medical settings. The problem for those who are primarily engaged in and who identify themselves with research is not as great. It seems that however antagonizing the research results some-times turn out to be for mainstream medical care and the health professions, behavioral science researchers are of substantial value in medical centers if only because of their comparative superiority and leadership in research design and methodology. The problems of those who primarily teach, how-ever, are enormous, and stem from several sources : from the demands in-herent in the educational context of the medical center (usually a tertiary care base striving to prepare technical specialists), and from the three most relevent groups involved-the medical faculty, students, and often from their own colleagues. Explorations of these difficulties together with a reexamina-tion of the role of behavioral science in medical education have become popular subjects. Useful discussions can be found in the December 1973 Special Issue of Social Science and Medicine, Hunt, 1974 ; Williams et al., 1974 ; Sluzki, 1974 ; Volpe, 1974 ; Routh & ; Clarke, 1976 ; Cohen & ; Kelner, 1976 ; and Wexler, 1976. A most penetrating analysis from a sociologist's viewpoint is provided by Jeffries, 1974. The presence of increasing numbers of behavioral scientists in care delivery settings such as kidney dialysis units, pediatric hospitals, primary care clinics, and family practice centers is beginning to contribute examples of how services and teaching can work hand in hand. From these experiences, especial-ly those in family practice programs (e.g., Johnson et al., 1977), a number of observations are beginning to provide the basis for consensus on several issues. These are the subject of another paper in preparation. In closing this discussion, I shall suggest only that the clinical behavioral scientist model advocated here provides a hopeful response to increasing pressure from a major prevailing issue : what and how to teach in order to make behavioral science "clinically relevent," i.e., to help health providers achieve immediate goals and to "actually demonstrate in concrete situatons that (our) knowl-edge and skills can improve the quality of health care" (Cohen & ; Kelner, 1976, p. 27).* This approach to teaching is admittedly labor intensive and deliberately clinically biased. It also requires that "student" and "teacher" work closely together to construct the ground rules for their relationships, two by two and ». Dans Family Medicine, 70–72.

Résumé :
Chapter 8 looks at the involvement of Samuel Wesley and his family in the supernatural. It argues that the supernatural was profoundly political in this period. The contemporary examples of witchcraft and apparitions were heavily influenced by the Tory-Whig divide and by the High-Low Church divisions. Often belief in supernatural phenomena was regarded as the preserve of the educated and those of High Church and Tory principles. Whigs and Low Churchmen tended to adopt a more rationalist approach. The central discussion of the chapter is of ‘Old Jeffrey’, the Epworth Rectory Ghost which haunted the house for three months in 1716. The hauntings took form of noises and apparitions. It was especially well-documented because John Wesley was at school in London and asked for detailed accounts of the episode. The disturbances of 1716–17 almost certainly reflect community, political, and family divisions which marked the Wesleys in Epworth. There is also evidence that ‘Old Jeffrey’ shared Susanna’s Jacobite politics.

Abstract This is the sixth chapter of Confirmation Theory. Confirmation Theory is a book manuscript that Lewis wrote in 1969 on the basis of a course he’d given at UCLA. He submitted the manuscript to Harvard University Press who expressed an interest. It consists of seven chapters covering intensional semantics, probability measures, rational belief, principles of indifference and Carnap and Hintikka’s inductive systems. The work was intended to be accessible to students with, as Lewis put it, ‘hairy high-school algebra’. He described the manuscript to Richard Jeffrey as ‘Mathematically self-contained, with proofs for the major theorems’. Lewis originally envisaged that Carnap’s The Continuum of Inductive Methods (1952) be used as an accompanying text. Lewis focused on Carnap and Hintikka in particular because he believed that their work constituted the attractive core of what competing theories of confirmation had in common.

Résumé :
Born to an American man and Vietnamese woman in 1970, Trista immigrated to the United States and was adopted by a young American couple, Nancy and Chuck Kalan, in 1973 after she and her younger brother, Jeffrey, spent a year in the care of a Vietnamese foster family. Although Nancy would eagerly accept and manage the details of Trista’s adoption, her husband, a veteran of the Vietnam War, had initiated their plans. Trista recalled her fear and shyness on meeting her new parents. “When I first saw my father, I cried,” she explained, “because he had a full beard and I wasn’t used to the facial hair.” Moreover, as a four-year-old, “I still had memories of my family,” she related. These memories would become less vivid over time as Trista learned English, became acquainted with American foods, and integrated into the mostly white community of Feasterville, Pennsylvania, but she retained cultural, political, and familial ties to Vietnam through regular contact with Jeffrey, who was adopted into the household of Trista’s aunt and raised as her cousin, as well as her foster family, who departed Vietnam among a wave of refugees and resettled in the Kalans’ household in 1975. Despite relationships and exposure that could have reinforced a Vietnamese identity, she admitted, “I probably actually repressed any of my culture and heritage growing up because I just wanted to fit in.”...

Résumé :
Abstract Bayesians have a long tradition of reviling significance tests as inherently un Bayesian, going back at least to the first edition of Jeffreys’ Theory of Probability. But Hodges (1990) showed that to an arbitrarily close approximation, the P-value is the posterior probability of the null hypothesis for a particular alternative, in a large class of cases to be detailed below. One could say that the alternative behind significance tests has been unmasked and can now be used as a club to beat on P-values. On the other hand, it now appears that P-values are not as un Bayesian as we have been led to think. In view of the tradition of P-value bashing, it is of some interest to examine the new alternative hypothesis to see whether we must admit P-values to the Bayesian family after all.

Résumé :
A number of forensic and family relationship cases, as well as medical, animal science, wildlife poaching investigation, and plant science applications are presented in this chapter. As suggested by the titles and headlines from various journal and newspaper articles, the process of identification using recombinant DNA technology has proven to be very practical. Semen from a rape case, a hair follicle from a homicide, blood stains at a break-in, chorionic villi from a prenatal diagnosis, blood cells from a transplant patient, tumorous tissue, a big game animal gut pile, a freezer steak, rare condor blood, a whale skin biopsy, plant tissue, and ancient human and other animal remains are some of the sources of DNA used for typing. Perhaps the most apparent indicator of application potential can be deduced from the number of recent patent applications covering recombinant DNA processes and products. In addition, many new government and commercial ventures have been established to accommodate the anticipated service load. The analysis of DNA is providing hard evidence for the resolution of serious criminal acts and other difficult identification problems in homicide, rape, accident, missing persons, break-ins, and hit-and-run cases (Anderson 1989; Barinaga 1989; Conner 1988; Dodd 1985; Fowler 1988; Fox 1989; Fukushima 1988; Gill 1987; Giusti 1986; Hicks 1989; Higuchi 1988; Hewlett 1989; Jeffreys 1988; King 1989; Kobayashi 1988; Lander 1989a; Lewin 1989; McElfresh 1989; Marx 1988; Merz 1988; Newmark 1987, 1987a; Norman 1989; Ross 1989; Taylor 1989; Yokoi 1989). The determination of whether a series of crimes is serial or copycat, that is, committed by one or more than one perpetrator, is critical to the investigation of many cases. If DNA profiles match for specimens from different crime sites, this suggests that the same individual was involved and investigators can then concentrate their efforts on the hunt for one person. The forensic scientist first prepares a DNA identity profile of the crime (evidence), suspect, and victim specimens.

Due to the fact that aggression is a critical social behavior, it is studied in terms of linguistics, pragmatics, and even critical pragmatics however it is not tackled from a critical stylistic perspective. Thus, the study under scrutiny deals with aggression as a domestic and social behavior from a CS perspective aspiring to answer the questions of: 1. how aggressive language is displayed in parents-children communication through a critical stylistic standpoint? 2. What are the stylistic tools used in the novel to express the ideological effects? The study aims to investigate the linguistic markers of aggressiveness, contextual significance, and their influence on character development and interactions. It is hypothesized that: 1. Aggressive language has a major role in shaping character dynamics and the narrative. 2. Aggressive language is realized via two levels: ideational level and textual level to reveal the ideological effects. The study contributes to a nuanced understanding of language's portrayal of aggression and its implications in the context of the novel. It also reveals that aggression can be seen as a critical social behavior practiced by the aggressor for a particular reason such as want, desire, need or because of the psychological state of the aggressor
