Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

An existentialist in QuebecWell dear readers, it is that time of year again when I report on the existential lessons I have learned attending the annual International Psycho-oncology Society (IPOS) World Congress.This year's lessons, like many in existential philosophy, were difficult ones for me to integrate personally.But do not despair.The meeting was indeed full of hope, meaning, and science, as advertised.The 12th World Congress of Psycho-oncology was held this year in beautiful and historic Quebec City, May 25 -29, 2010, and attracted over 800 participants from close to 50 countries around the world.By every measure possible, the World Congress of Psycho-oncology in Quebec City was a success, in no small part due to the extraordinary efforts of the Congress Chair Professor Lise Fillion, her colleagues in Quebec and at the University of Laval, Dr. Tom Hack, President of the Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology (CAPO), and the CAPO Board and scientific committee which celebrated their 25th annual scientific meeting conjointly with this IPOS World Congress.The scientific program was true to this year's theme of "Hope, Meaning & Science for Quality of Care in Psycho-oncology and Palliative Care."We were treated to enlightening plenaries by Susan Folkman, Patricia Ganz, Betty Ferrell, Margaret Fitch, Mitch Golant, Darius Razavi, Pierre Gagnon, Harvey Chochinov, and others.The pre-conference Psychosocial Academy Workshops drew hundreds of participants, and the symposia, workshops, and paper sessions and posters examined every facet of this year's existential themes.There were so many wonderful symposia, plenary lectures, and paper sessions that I cannot do justice to the excellence of the research and teaching that took place.Therefore, I invite readers to visit the IPOS web site where many of the power point presentations of the scientific program are available (www.ipos-society.org).In Quebec City, we held the second meeting of the Federation of National Societies, which included more than 25 national societies that had met criteria for membership in the Federation.The Federation of National Societies represents over 5,000 psycho-

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.
