Professor Paul L. Joskow gave a report on MIT's recently concluded task force on medical care for the MIT community at the faculty meeting.
The report concluded "task shifting alone cannot respond to the needs of poor countries, especially if other issues are not addressed at the same time … workers have clear ideas about how to improve the availability of services; it remains to be seen if decision-makers will listen to them".
Five studies showed increased access to HAART through expanded clinical capacity; two concluded task shifting is cost effective; 9 showed staff equal or better quality of care; studies on non-physician clinician agreement with physician decisions was mixed, with the majority showing good agreement.
This effect suggests that the default mode network might be influenced by some aspect of the high conjunction-task cost group, but the fact that both single- and conjunction-task conditions show this pattern makes it hard to conclude that task difficulty accounts for this result.
From this, we conclude that task performance requirements across genetically distinct strains of honey bees under similar environments are similar and task performance effort is distributed accordingly.
We conclude that task characteristics influence brain activity associated with spatial selective attention.
Findings such as these have led researchers to conclude that task-level properties can direct nonconscious processes to be deployed exclusively over central (semantic) or peripheral (physically specified) representations.
Cox and Kubsch concluded that task structures, task-based environments controlled by medical practitioners, group combination and size, and limited resources available to nursing managers can all function as conflict sources [ 22, 23].
An inference with an encoding model, or in the fMRI standard analysis framework, is a statement on whether or not the signal in a brain region is well explained by the model that we have of the task: we can conclude that the task implies this brain activation, and we say that the region is recruited by the task.
Performance comparison of three subsymbolic action-planning mechanisms on different tasks conclude the paper.
He concluded: "The task before us is to focus on the conservative beliefs and the values that unite us.
