Stuttering attitudes in Hong Kong and adjacent Mainland China
International journal of speech-language pathology, 2012Co-Authors: Kenneth O St Louis, Florence L. Myers, Steve An XueAbstract:AbstractThe present study aims at studying the public attitudes towards stuttering in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Translated Chinese versions of the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes–Stuttering (POSHA–S) were distributed to convenience samples in Hong Kong and Mainland China, with a total number of 175 completed questionnaires returned in each sampling region (n 5 350). Mean ratings of respondents from Hong Kong and Mainland China were similar in most comparisons; yet, a few differences were noted. Larger but idiosyncratic differences characterized the Chinese respondents compared to more than 4000 respondents from numerous countries and languages around the world in the POSHA–S Database Archive. Overall, they documented aspects of stereotypes and potential stigma with respect to people who stutter. While premature to provide unambiguous conclusions, results suggest that Chinese respondents have unique stuttering attitudes.

research and development on a public attitude instrument for stuttering
Journal of Communication Disorders, 2012Co-Authors: Kenneth O St LouisAbstract:Abstract This paper summarizes research associated with the development of the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes–Stuttering (POSHA–S), a survey instrument designed to provide a worldwide standard measure of public attitudes toward stuttering. Pilot studies with early experimental prototypes of the POSHA–S are summarized that relate to questionnaire rating scale prototypes, test–retest reliability, construct validity, item analysis and final item selection, translation to other languages, internal consistency, sampling procedures, manner of administration, and sample size. Future research and public service uses of the POSHA–S are discussed, especially for comparisons using its growing Database Archive. Learning outcomes: Readers of this article should be able to: (1) describe the purposes of the International Project on Attitudes Toward Human Attributes (IPATHA) initiative, (2) describe procedures to determine reliability and validity of the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes–Stuttering (POSHA–S), (3) describe factor analysis and other strategies to select items from the POSHA–E1 and POSHA–E2 pilot studies for the final POSHA–S, and (4) describe uses of the POSHA–S Database Archive in studies of public attitudes toward stuttering.

the public opinion survey of human attributes stuttering posha s summary framework and empirical comparisons
Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2011Co-Authors: Kenneth O St LouisAbstract:Abstract Purpose The Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S) was developed to make available worldwide a standard measure of public attitudes toward stuttering that is practical, reliable, valid, and translatable. Mean data from past field studies as comparisons for interpretation of POSHA-S results are reported. Method Means for POSHA-S items (converted to −100 to +100 scales), components comprising clusters of items, subscores comprising clusters of components, and Overall Stuttering Scores comprising two subscores for stuttering were generated from 64 samples, totaling 2876 respondents who completed experimental versions of the POSHA-S. Discussion Lowest, highest, and median sample values, which vary with the addition of new sample data to the growing POSHA-S Database Archive, provide points of comparison for any potential sample rather than predetermined values. Conclusions The final POSHA-S, together with an ongoing and growing Archive, can provide increasingly meaningful comparisons for stakeholders measuring public attitudes toward stuttering. Educational objectives: (1) Describe the subscores and components of the POSHA-S, (2) describe the Overall Stuttering Score of the POSHA-S, and (3) describe the format for interpretation of the POSHA-S.

strategie roadmap for the earth system grid federation
International Conference on Big Data, 2015Co-Authors: Dean N Williams, Michael Lautenschlager, V Balaji, Luca Cinquini, Cecilia Deluca, Sebastien Denvil, Daniel Duffy, Ben Evans, R Ferraro, Martin JuckesAbstract:This article describes the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) mission and an international integration strategy for data, Database and computational architecture, and stable infrastructure highlighted by the authors (the ESGF Executive Committee). These highlights are key developments needed over the next five to seven years in response to large-scale national and international climate community projects that depend on ESGF for success. Quality assurance and baseline performance from laptop to high performance computing characterizes available and potential data streams and strategies. These are required for interactive data collections to remedy gaps in handling enormous international federated climate data Archives. Appropriate cyber security ensures protection of data according to projects but still allows access and portability to different ESGF and individual groups and users. A timeline and plan for forecasting interoperable tools takes ESGF from a federated Database Archive to a robust virtual laboratory and concludes the article.

Understanding the complex impacts of drought: A key to enhancing drought mitigation and preparedness
Water Resources Management, 2007Co-Authors: Donald A. Wilhite, Mark D. Svoboda, Michael J. HayesAbstract:Recent droughts in the United States have highlighted the nation’s current and increasing vulnerability to this natural hazard. Drought-related impacts are also becoming more complex, as illustrated by the rapidly rising impacts in sectors such as recreation and tourism, energy, and transportation. Environmental and social consequences are also of increasing importance. Conflicts between water users and disputes between political entities on transboundary water issues are a reflection of the need for improved documentation of the consequences of extended periods of water shortage. Unfortunately, no national drought impact Database exists and drought impact statistics are not routinely compiled at the state, regional, or national level. Without this information, it is an arduous task to convince policy and other decision makers of the need for additional investments in drought monitoring and prediction, mitigation, and preparedness. The National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is addressing this problem by creating a web-based Drought Impact Reporter (DIR) that has the following primary functions: (1) to create a Database Archive of drought impacts information; (2) to provide an interactive map delivery system that is efficient and user-oriented; (3) to build links with governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, university research groups and extension programs, and others, including the public, in order to provide timely impact reports to ensure a comprehensive collection of drought impacts across all potential sectors and scales; and (4) to foster a continual process of user feedback, evaluation, assessment, and dissemination of drought impacts. The Drought Impact Reporter was launched in July 2005 and is available on the NDMC’s web site (http://drought.unl.edu).
