Children with a cleft palate ([+ or -] cleft lip; CP[+ or -]L) can have difficulties communicating and participating in daily life, yet speech-language pathologists typically focus on speech production during routine assessments. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY; World Health Organization, 2007) provides a framework for h…
Impaired reading is one of the many disabling consequences of stroke. As initially delineated by Dejerine (1892), this may be the sole language impairment or one of several aphasic symptoms. In either case, the consequences are profound, with reading for pleasure, work, and functional purposes no longer available. Arguably, these consequences have increased with the growing importance of online…
Traditional perspectives of film studies address cinema as a medium, format, or art form with associated scholarly studies in terms of historical, cultural, societal, or literary contexts; in contrast, Emma Pett, in her latest book, Experiencing Cinema: Participatory Film Cultures, Immersive Media and the Experience Economy, focuses on active audience participation in cinema. Although the major…
The article investigates in-depth the theoretical provisions for the construction of modern product quality management systems, providing for the optimization and transformation of individual production and economic processes to a higher quality level, as well as the functions integration of enterprise management system and product quality management system; such integration is carried out on t…
Automated decision making (ADM) is increasingly prominent in our experiences with communication technologies and more broadly in our society. Understanding what drives individual perceptions of AI is crucial. This study presents the results of a survey across 10 European countries (N = 6,643), confirming trust and political attitudes as general drivers of perceptions of AI, especially in the me…

New forms of journalism, such as video journalism, interactive journalism, multimedia journalism, long form and slow journalism are presented along with their impact on the aforementioned audience. To support the theory on behavioral patterns of online news usage, a focus …
The objective of this research was to develop a mathematical and statistical model for long-term prediction. The Extreme Value Theory (EVT) was applied to analyze the appropriate distribution model by using the peak-over-threshold approach with Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) to predict daily extreme precipitation and extreme temperatures in eight provinces located in the upper northea…
