Pseudodiagnosticity refers to the tendency to select impoverished information in preference to equally available diagnostic data. Mynatt, Doherty, and Dragan (1993) reported that pseudodiagnostic reasoning was attenuated in problems in which the information selection had consequences for the reasoner’s future actions in contrast to problemsin which it did not. Girotto, Evans and Legrenzi (1996) denied that such “action” problems fostered better information selection because they argued that in Mynatt’s et al.’s study action and non-action or inferencevaried in how the decision task was framed. It was predicted that for action problems there will be a higher frequency in informative data selection vs. both inference problems. In addition to that, a primacy effect for inference problems would occur irrespective of sequence of data presentation but not for action problems. We re-examined the way people reasoned about action problems and inference problems taking into consideration Girotto et al.’s criticisms. We found that even when the presentation and salience of the information was equated in both kinds of problems, diagnostic information selection was more likely foraction that for inference problems.

Abstract Because of being capable of excluding the most of secondary gamma rays interference, gas Cherenkov detectors have been the primary candidate for fusion gamma rays detection. It is a goal worthy of long-term efforts to enhance the threshold contrast index used for evaluating the ability of GCD to exclude below-threshold interference. The paper presents the way of enhancing the index through ultraviolet reflection selective suppression of scintillation signal in the detectors. Both theoretical estimation and experimental verification demonstrate that the threshold contrast index can be enhanced by 5.5 times after applying this method. This provides possibilities of obtaining better fusion gamma rays detection waveforms and higher confidence diagnostic information.

This viewpoint paper presents a potential solution to the “information islands” that are holding back PHR/UHR from becoming truly effective diagnostic information care management tools for patients especially those who suffer from chronic diseases. The solution involves integrating patient portal with a diagnostic data interface layer to create a single access point for caregivers and patients.

The representation of illness manifestation during the first psychiatric interview with patients preliminary diagnosed with depressive illness The aim of the study is the analysis of patients' and doctors' discursive representation of mental health problems during the first psychiatric interview. The data comes from 16 initial psychiatric interviews recorded by doctors in three psychiatric hospitals in Poland. Assuming the discursive character of representation the analysis of the data has shown that the representation of illness manifestations in doctors and patients narratives differs. The doctors constructed mental health problems mainly as static and timeless existence of medical symptoms and patients' traits. Conversely, the patients constructed illness manifestations in terms of action, as dynamic and contextualised processes. Interestingly, the patients deprived themselves of control over the acting illness manifestations. Doctors' static picture of illness manifestations eliminates the possibility of exploring the complicated relationship between patients and their problems. An examination of the way patients construct illness manifestations could be relevant diagnostic information.

Experimental psychologists have – for decades – espoused the unreliability of eyewitness identifications, but the advent of new statistical techniques such as confidence-accuracy characteristic analysis has revealed that eyewitness identifications are much more reliable than previously thought. When an eyewitness identifies the suspect with high confidence from an initial and properly-administered lineup, for example, that suspect is highly likely to be the person who originally committed the crime. The way confidence is collected in the laboratory – using a numeric rating scale – differs from the way confidence is collected in the real world – often by asking eyewitnesses to express their confidence in their own words. What is the best method for collecting an eyewitness’s level of confidence? To answer this question, we applied a novel machine-learning methodology to investigate the natural language of accurate and inaccurate eyewitnesses. This method revealed that verbal confidence statements provide much diagnostic information about the accuracy of identifications. Moreover, verbal confidence statements provide unique diagnostic information that is not otherwise captured by traditional indicators of identification accuracy such as numeric confidence ratings. However, the diagnostic value of a verbal confidence statement depends in part on the face recognition ability of the eyewitness: the natural language of strong face recognizers is more diagnostic than the natural language of weak face recognizers. These results are theoretically interesting, but from an applied perspective, this machine-learning methodology may prove useful to those in the criminal justice system that must evaluate eyewitnesses’ verbal confidence statements.

<p class="5abstrak">Biology Learning Strategy (BLS) is an important course that constitutes the competence of biology student teachers, especially pedagogy competence. This study aims to describe the learning strategy of the biology teacher candidates, problems they encountered, and the chosen learning solution in BLS course. This explorative survey was conducted in March-April 2016. The study involved 176 participants. The participants were students of 4<sup>th</sup> semester biology student teachers who took BLS course. The data were collected by using a semi-open and open questionnaire. The analysis of the data was qualitative data analysis model of Miles and Huberman which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions and verification. The study concludes that the percentage of the way the students learned BLS by understanding is 53.4%, memorizing and understanding is 36.9%, memorizing only is 5.7%, and the other is 7%. Problems experienced by the students in learning BLS include discomfort during a rowdy class, lack of ability to understand, lack of confidence to perform, lack of ability to choose a strategy or apply the materials in the practice, as well as the difficulty to memorize. The way to overcome the problems in learning BLS is quite various and it can be classified into four categories namely changing learning strategies, increasing the intensity of learning, improving motivation, and increasing the frequency of exercise.</p>

Objectives. To determine if community pharmacists felt that diagnostic information providedwith prescriptions would (1) help provide pharmaceutical care, (2) help reduce dispensing errors, and (3) violate patient confidentiality. Methods. A mail questionnaire was distributed to 200 metropolitan community pharmacists in Arizona. The questionnaire consisted of 14 opinion statements and 6 demographic items. Results . Atotal of 75 usable questionnaireswere returned (a 38.5% response rate). Pharmacists agreed that they were responsible for providing pharmaceutical care and that diagnostic data would help them provide this care. Pharmacists believed that receiving diagnostic data with prescriptions would help reduce-dispensing errors, help them counsel patients, and help them abide by state and federal laws. Pharmacists felt that diagnostic data would not violate patient confidentiality. The majority of pharmacists (73.6%) believed that the indication for prescribing a medication was the most important information that could be included on a prescription. Conclusion . Overall, community pharmacists had positive perceptions of the value of diagnostic data being provided with prescriptions. Additional research is needed to evaluate how providing this important information will affect other members of health care teams.
