Hypatia·2011·16 citations
Although the American Philosophical Association has more than 11,000 members, there are still fewer than 125 Black philosophers in the United States, including fewer than thirty Black women holding a PhD in philosophy and working in a philosophy department in the academy. The following is a “musing” about how I became one of them and how I have sought to create a positive philosophical space for all of us.

View paper →Overlooking evolution: a systematic analysis of cancer relapse and therapeutic resistance research.
C Athena Aktipis, Virginia S Y Kwan, Kathryn A Johnson, Steven L Neuberg, Carlo C Maley
PloS one·2011
Cancer therapy selects for cancer cells resistant to treatment, a process that is fundamentally evolutionary. To what extent, however, is the evolutionary perspective employed in research on therapeutic resistance and relapse? We analyzed 6,228 papers on therapeutic resistance and/or relapse in cancers and found that the use of evolution terms in abstracts has remained at about 1% since the 1980s. However, detailed coding of 22 recent papers revealed a higher proportion of papers using evolutionary methods or evolutionary theory, although this number is still less than 10%. Despite the fact that relapse and therapeutic resistance is essentially an evolutionary process, it appears that this framework has not permeated research. This represents an unrealized opportunity for advances in research on therapeutic resistance.

Sejong Oh
Computers in Biology and Medicine·2011·54 citations
The quality of dataset has a profound effect on classification accuracy, and there is a clear need for some method to evaluate this quality. In this paper, we propose a new dataset evaluation method using the R-value measure. This proposed method is based on the ratio of overlapping areas among categories in a dataset. A high R-value for a dataset indicates that the dataset contains wide overlapping areas among its categories, and classification accuracy on the dataset may become low. We can use the R-value measure to understand the characteristics of a dataset, the feature selection process, and the proper design of new classifiers.

Ratio Juris·2011·299 citations
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>According to the most important theories of justice, personal dignity is closely related to independence, and the care that people with disabilities receive is seen as a way for them to achieve the greatest possible autonomy. However, human beings are naturally subject to periods of dependency, and people without disabilities are only “temporarily abled.” Instead of seeing assistance as a limitation, we consider it to be a resource at the basis of a vision of society that is able to account for inevitable dependency relationships between “unequals” ensuring a fulfilling life both for the carer and the cared for.<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#fn5">**</jats:ext-link></jats:p>

Katherine A Fowler, Drew Westen
Journal of interpersonal violence·2011
Domestic violence is a serious problem with far-reaching consequences. This study applies a new methodology to derive subtypes of male perpetrators of intimate partner violence. As part of a larger National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)-funded study, a national sample of randomly selected psychologists and psychiatrists describe 188 adult male patients (59 with a history of partner violence, 97 with a history of arrests but not partner violence, and 57 with neither partner violence nor arrests), using the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure-II (SWAP-II), a Q-sort procedure for assessing personality pathology. Using Q-factor analysis, the authors identify three personality constellations among the partner-violent men, two of which strongly resembled subtypes identified using different methods in prior research: psychopathic, hostile/controlling, and borderline/dependent. The authors compare these subtypes with each other and with nonarrested/ nonviolent men and men with arrests but no partner violence on Axis I and II diagnoses, adaptive functioning, etiological variables, and response to treatment, providing initial validity data.

Nancy Boyd Webb
School Psychology International·2011·34 citations
Play therapy is a highly adaptable treatment method that can be modified according to children’s ages, circumstances, and settings in which counseling occurs. Play therapy may be used in schools, community settings, and homes to help children following the death of a significant other. After reviewing basic developmental factors that affect children’s ability to comprehend the meaning of death, the article discusses the special circumstances of grief in different situations, including community-based counseling after Hurricane Katrina, school-based group play therapy following a teacher’s death, and conjoint parent-child play therapy after a father’s death in a terrorist attack. Increasing the acceptability and effectiveness of play therapy, professionals must consider and incorporate family and community traditions and beliefs. Additionally, professionals are encouraged to support teachers and parents in utilizing play-based activities to facilitate children’s expressions of grief.
