Many psychological problems are characterized by a gradual broadening of the complaints over stimuli, contexts, and behaviors. This expansion of the complaints over stimuli, contexts, and behaviors is known as generalization. Notwithstanding the fact that generalization leads to the onset and maintenance of psychopathology, it remains unclear what cognitive factors underlie the process of generalization. This doctoral thesis focuses on the study ...

In this policy paper, a holistic approach to doctoral learning in terms of research, self-development and training formats is argued for. Based on findings from the literature and expert interviews, four main arguments are made. Firstly, pressures on the doctoral process risk lowering the quality of doctorates. Therefore, the DIOSI model emphasises the learning outcomes to be acquired and synthesises these components into a comprehensible and ...

Following the success of the past symposia in this series, this year's Middleware Doctoral Symposium (MDS) continues to support doctoral students in an early stage of their PhD track. MDS'08 provided doctoral students with opportunities to present their work, obtain early feedback from senior researchers in the field, and meet other students at a similar stage in their careers. The program committee was composed by experienced researchers from ...

Interdisciplinary education has been promoted as essential in health education internationally. Interdisciplinary education involves educators and learners from two or more disciplines who jointly create and foster a collaborative learning environment. Audiological rehabilitation (AR) is an example of a healthcare field that requires interdisciplinary education. AR addresses the limitations and restrictions in communication, functional health ...

Several factors have been identified as relevant for the distribution of non-native plants in mountain ecosystems. These factors depend mainly on the environmental and vegetational characteristics of each ecosystem (invasibility) and the traits of each invasive species (invasiveness). Knowing the importance of each factor that determines the distribution of non- native plants at multiple scales, is critical to advance the knowledge of the ...

In interpreting, the introduction of technologies enabling Remote Interpreting (RI) has profoundly changed the ways in which interpreting services are being delivered. Whereas interpreting was traditionally carried out face-to-face (F2F), contemporary communication channels allow for distance interpreting by means of telephone (Telephone Interpreting, TI) or video link (Video Interpreting, VI). At the same time, in response to growing ...
