Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The overall objective of this research was to obtain information through the use of open-ended interviews, about the diagnosis and treatment of children who had cancer. The interviews, completed with 29 parents whose children had been diagnosed with cancer within the previous 5-year period, were designed to allow mothers and fathers to share their experiences about childhood cancer. From this process, many salient issues were identified by the interviewed parents, one of these issues being that of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use among children being treated for cancer. Analysis of the CAM theme resulted in the identification of the following subthemes: (1) parents' opposition to CAM utilization; (2) parents' support of CAM use with their children with cancer; and (3) physicians' views of CAM as perceived by parents. Implications for the use or nonuse of CAM among pediatric populations will be discussed.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
