Abstract The burden on society by depression is undisputable, partly due to a chronic course pattern and depression’s large heterogeneity that contributes non-response standard treatments. Using data from the Netherlands Study of Depression Anxiety (NESDA, www.nesda.nl ), Penninx will illustrate both points. When examining depression, especially when also considering transitions into other affe...

Let’s start from scratch in thinking about what memory is for, and consequently, how it works. Suppose that memory and conceptualization work in the service of perception and action. In this case, conceptualization is the encoding of patterns of possible physical interaction with a three-dimensional world. These patterns are constrained by the structure of the environment, the structure of our ...

In information science, it is considered that domain conceptualization can be realized by (one or several) ontologies. This paper presents a method of semi-automated domain conceptualization, where the domain of interest is Computational Creativity (CC). Grounded on papers, which were published in six consecutive years since 2010 in the Proceedings of International Conferences on Computational ...

Consistent with the call of the Minnesota Symposium for new theory in knowledge management, we offer a new conceptualization of Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) as a portfolio of personalized knowledge delivery services. Borrowing from research on online consumer behavior, we describe the challenges imposed by personalized knowledge delivery services, and suggest design parameters that can he...

Descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study, carried out through the Delphi Technique, with a sample of 32 obstetrics specialist nurses working in 3 hospitals and 9 primary health care centers in the district of Oporto, Northern Portugal. The purposes of this work were: 1. to identify a group of nurses' ideas and consensual conceptions about Childbirth Preparation; 2. to know which informati...

The tri-space is a concept that has been periodically put forth within geographic information science over the last few decades, under various guises and names (Openshaw 1994; Peuquet 1994; Turton et al. 2000; Yuan 1994). It refers to the conjunction of three spaces: geographic space, time space, and attribute space. These three elements are easily identified in typical spatio-temporal data set...

According to the Conceptual Act Theory of Emotion, the situated conceptualization used to construe a situation determines the emotion experienced. A neuroimaging experiment tested two core hypotheses of this theory: (1) different situated conceptualizations produce different forms of the same emotion in different situations, (2) the composition of a situated conceptualization emerges from share...

Metrics used on development of expert systems is not a well investigated problem area. This article suggests some metrics to be used to measure the maturity of the conceptualization process and the complexity of the decision process in the problem domain. We propose some further work to be done with these metrics. Applying those metrics makes new and interesting problems, concerning the structu...

In this paper, we suggest a new conceptualization of coordination in the information systems (IS) domain. The conceptualization builds on neurobiological predispositions for coordinating actions. We assume that human evolution has led to the development of a neurobiological substrate that enables individuals to coordinate everyday actions. At heart, we discuss six activity modalities: contextua...
