The legal basis for civil commitment can be found in the Supreme Court decision of Kansas v. Hendricks ( 1997).

A<em> civil commitment</em> is a legal process through which an individual who is deemed dangerous for the general public ( severe mental disorder), is order by court into treatment or a prolonged stay in an appropriate and secure treatment facility. It also apply to prisoners who, after serving their prison sentence, are still considered dangerous and therefore can not be granted freedom.

<em>Kansas v. Hendricks</em> was a U.S Supreme Court decision where two  predators, Leroy Hendricks and Tim Quinn, were ordered to indefinite civil commitment after finishing their prison sentence. They were both convinced of inappropriate behavior towards children. During the trial they both admitted to feeling strong  desire towards children when under extreme stress. The court considered them to be  violent predators and ordered them to indefinite civil commitment.

A narrative has three basic parts: a beginning, middle, and end. Describe the purposes of these parts.
Schach [20]

Answer:

A beginning is to introduce a character and to set the story and say what it is about.

A middle is when you start to build suspense and build up to the big things  and where the bulk starts. If the middle is good it will want the reader to keep reading the story.

An end is the most important part of a story. This is where you decide whether the drama carries on or stops. To make a good ending you need to either leave the story in sadness, happiness or anger.

Hope this helps!

Suppose that you are using eye tracking on a cross-eyed participant and the calibration cannot be successful. What do you do
posledela

To get a successful calibration while using eye tracking on a cross-eyed participant , What we can do is  :-

Use an eye patch to allow the eye-tracking software (pixel sensitive) to focus on one eye.

This is because many people have squint in their eyes, to a certain degree, i.e. 10 ° - 5 ° which is enough to mislead the eye-tracking software which is pixel sensitive to reach a conclusion that the eyes are attracted an empty white space on the site or on the software.

<h3><u>What is Gazemonitor and its use?</u></h3>
  • GazeMonitor is an experimental tool which enables real-time measurement of deviation angles in strabismus using Tobii eye trackers.
  • GazeMonitor has been developed and tested using Tobii eyeX controller and GazeSDK. In theory, it will work unmodified with every Tobii's tracker that supports GazeSDK. However, testing with Tobii REX showed that calibration isn't working, because REX cannot track a single eye while the other is covered. Other trackers haven't been tested.
