  A Systematic, Evidence-Based Approach to Managing Challenging Behavior in Nursing Homes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
For urgent or emergency situations, which generally differ in nature and causes from long-term behavior management, the staff should at least inform the family of the situation, keeping in mind that in acute situations such as psychosis or delirium, family members generally are not in a position to judge the appropriateness of various proposed interventions.
When the cause of a problematic behavior is identified or suspected, staff should provide cause-specific management or indicate why it was not feasible or not appropriate for that individual (problem not amenable to treatment, previous adverse reaction to a medication, terminal condition, etc.).
Problematic behavior related to personality For problematic behavior not associated with psychosis or delirium, staff should try pertinent interventions, such as different approaches to bathing or feeding, involving the resident differently in his or her own care, etc.

 Assimilation of Problematic Experiences
problematic experiences--memories, wishes, feelings, attitudes, or behaviors that are threatening or painful, destructive relationships, or traumatic incidents--rather than as change in the person as a whole.
Problematic voices emerge in response to therapist interventions or external circumstances and are suppressed or avoided.
We observe that the problematic experiences change from being feared or unwanted in early sessions to being understood and integrated by the end of successful treatments.

 That Problematic "Self"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The pernicious or problematic "self" is always something of a hallucination—it postulates something that is not just a conceptual construction, but often wildly inconsistent with actual experience.
First, because the experience of the problematic “self” is so glaringly out of keeping with our actual experience, an inordinate amount of denial or, in Buddhist terms, ignorance, is required to maintain it.
In a similar way, the problematic “self” generates a shadow of guilt and one attempts to manage this through judging, rationalizing and condemning the feared "other," in this case, experience.

 Report to the Attorney General of Canada: Advice and Recommendations Respecting certain Certificates of Analyst issued ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Health Canada has identified problematic certificates, some of which obviously must relate to persons convicted of drug offences whose cases are no longer before the courts in that their appeal remedies have been exhausted or the time for appeal has expired.
To the extent to which accused cannot be matched to problematic certificates or their addresses cannot be ascertained through reasonable efforts, a public notice of the problem may bring these individuals forward.
Unlike problematic certificates relating to the identification of the substance, I am not convinced that the Department of Justice should generally assume that problematic quantifications were likely to have affected the trial or the sentence imposed, in the absence of a demonstration to the contrary.

 Journal of Geoscience Education: A problematic fossil brings paleontology to the classroom and the world
A problematic fossil discovered in 1998 by an amateur collector in central New York proved to be a valuable tool for teaching paleontology to people of diverse age and background.
Highlighting its problematic status and including the public in the search for additional specimens as well as an investigation of affinities, allowed us to engage students and non-students alike in the most basic process of paleontology- reconstructing an organism from fossil remains.
The proliferation of fossil-like problematic objects prompted several classroom visits by John Chiment, who took the opportunity to introduce the classes to general paleontological concepts such as paleoenvironment, living community vs. fossil assemblage, taphonomy, and the art of fossil preparation.

 Cumming: Problematic Moments in Global Groups
I introduce this idea because I see a problematic moment as a moment when the group experiences a choice point where it may be possible to change the discourse, and hence their potential to take new action.
My claim is that a problematic moment is a special moment in the life of a group when the process of repression breaks through and presents the group with the opportunity to reflect on its own discursive unconscious.
This problematic moment taught us about the importance of voice and stories in a board where social differences are crucial to the mission and task of the organization.

 problematic. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
Posing a problem; difficult to solve: a repair that proved more problematic than first expected.
Open to doubt; debatable: “if you ever get married, which seems to me extremely problematic” (Oscar Wilde).
Not settled; unresolved or dubious: a problematic future.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
For starters, when problematic entered the lexicon in the early 1600s, it meant "constituting or presenting a problem"; because so many problems are difficult to deal with, it's easy to see how problematic came to be used to describe something about the nature of the problem, including things difficult.
What we find more problematic about problematic is distinguishing its connotations from those of dubious and questionable.
Problematic applies especially to things whose existence, meaning, fulfillment, or realization is highly uncertain.

 Research Activities, February 2002: Health Care Delivery: Misunderstandings and miscommunication are hallmarks of a ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
A recent study examined the characteristics of a problematic doctor-patient relationship from the perspective of the patient and found that patients are more likely to have problematic relationships with residents whom they see as less available or less capable of handling medical complaints.
Their objective was to identify the characteristics of a problematic doctor-patient relationship from the perspective of primary care patients who were cared for by medical residents for an average of 1.6 years (an average of five visits).
Compared with residents in satisfactory relationships, those involved in relationships rated as problematic were more likely to be rated poor in availability (72 vs. 28 percent) and their ability to handle patients' medical complaints (56 vs. 44 percent).

 All: Problematic: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
As is to be expected, not too many answers are found, but All certainly get points for even daring to address the inherent absurdity of being an aging punk.
Even standard punk rock bile-spewing is kept to a minimum, with two lambasts aimed at frankly deserving targets: on the one hand, Colorado's scourge of trust-fund hippies, and on the other, well...
The rhymes are predictably forced, and the actual delivery is often ham-handed, but there's no doubt that All are operating on a much higher conceptual plane than their kid brothers in bands like the cleverly vapid Blink 182 or the downright troglodytic Goldfinger.

 BLACK-BODY PROBLEMATIC:
GENESIS AND STRUCTURE
In the history of physics, the fl-body problematic played a crucial role in inaugurating a fundamental innovation in scientific thought—the quantum innovation.
The word problematic has been used as Deleuze uses it – “the problematic refers to the ensemble of the problem and its conditions of realization” (1994:177).
In Kuhn’s own example of the radiation case, its history clearly reveals (a) the simultaneous presence of opposite and competing paradigms and (b) the coexistence of rival conceptual structures, as not just a historical contingency but a logical necessity, for the articulation as well as the ‘resolution’ of the radiation problem.

 “Flaming” and Other Problematic Messages:
Using the flaming issue as a starting point, this framework is intended as a tool for approaching an array of problematic interactions, online and offline, that include flaming as well as interactions that have been imprecisely labeled "flaming." We discuss tThe implications of this framework for flaming research and the study of other problematic interactions.
Clarifying these distinctions contributes to the study of flaming by providing a means to sort out true flames from other problematic interactions and provides an improved opportunity to assess more accurately the incidence, causes, consequences of, and solutions to, a range of problematic interactions--including flaming.
A focus on the sender's intent to flame helps to distinguish attempted flames from other types of problematic interactions in which the sender's intent is not to violate interactional norms.

 Design Patterns AntiPatterns   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
From this solution, a discussion of the root causes records how the problematic solution is the result of incorrectly resolving the forces for a specific underlying set of problems within its context.
This convergence from a concrete situation to the more abstract underlying forces is a key component in communicating an understanding of how and why the problem exists.
This abstraction is composed of symptoms and as consequences, similar to the context and forces of a design pattern, but which clearly documents the implications of the problematic solution.

 Automatically Training a Problematic Dialogue Predictor for a Spoken Dialogue System
However, current spoken dialogue systems are deficient in their strategies for preventing, identifying and repairing problems that arise in the conversation.
The Problematic Dialogue Predictor can be immediately applied to the system's decision of whether to transfer the call to a human customer care agent, or be used as a cue to the system's dialogue manager to modify its behavior to repair problems, and even perhaps, to prevent them.
We show that a Problematic Dialogue Predictor using automatically-obtainable features from the first two exchanges in the dialogue can predict problematic dialogues 13.2% more accurately than the baseline.

This three-piece Boston garage band is a quirky cross between '60s bubblegum pop and saccharine surf ditties.
