El Inventory of Learning Processes (ILP) evalúa procesos de aprendizaje en el ámbito educativo. Se propone adaptar lingüística, conceptual y métricamente ILP al educativo local. emplearon muestras estudiantes nivel medio universitario. tradujo la consigna los ítems del inglés español se analizó su contenido mediante juicio experto, conservando 20 62 originales.

This study developed and evaluated a brief training program for grant reviewers that aimed to increase inter-rater reliability, rating scale knowledge, and effort to read the grant review criteria. Enhancing reviewer training may improve the reliability and accuracy of research grant proposal scoring and funding recommendations. Seventy-five Public Health professors from U.S. research universit...

BACKGROUND The Level of Evidence rating was introduced in 2011 to grade the quality of publications. This system evaluates study design but does not assess several other quality indicators. This study introduces a new "Cosmetic Level of Evidence And Recommendation" (CLEAR) classification that includes additional methodological criteria and compares this new classification with the existing syst...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) with radioiodine in hot thyroid nodules. DESIGN Thirty consecutive outpatients with subclinical or mild hyperthyroidism and a scintigraphically solitary hot nodule with extraglandular suppression were randomized to either one ILP session or one radioiodine ((131)I) dose. METHODS ILP was performed under continuous...

We investigate solving discrete optimization problems using the ‘estimation of distribution’ (EDA) approach via a novel combination of deep belief networks (DBN) and inductive logic programming (ILP). While DBNs are used to learn the structure of successively ‘better’ feasible solutions, ILP enables the incorporation of domain-based background knowledge related to the goodness of solutions. Rec...

The individualized learning plan (ILP) is a tool that promotes self-directed learning. The aim of this pilot study was to look at the perception of the ILPs in United States senior medical school students as a way to improve their learning experience during their advanced practice clerkship. We conducted a survey of graduating medical students that contained both quantitative and open-ended que...

| In this paper we review previous work on the applicability and performance of Integrated Layer Processing (ILP). ILP has been shown to clearly improve performance when integrating simple functions, but the situation has been less clear for more complex functions and complete systems. We discuss complications when applying ILP to protocol stacks, the requirements of ILP on the communication su...

We present a novel approach to non-monotonic ILP and its implementation called tal (Top-directed Abductive Learning). tal overcomes some of the completeness problems of ILP systems based on Inverse Entailment and is the first top-down ILP system that allows background theories and hypotheses to be normal logic programs. The approach relies on mapping an ILP problem into an equivalent ALP one. T...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling leading to right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy and failure. Intralipid (ILP), a source of parenteral nutrition for patients, contains γ-linolenic acid and soy-derived phytoestrogens that are protective for lungs and heart. We, therefore, investigated the therapeutic potential of ILP in preventing and rescuing...

Few, if any, studies have investigated the effect of professional experience as a rater variable and type of assessment as a task variable on raters’ criteria in the assessment of speech acts. This study aimed to explore the impact of nonnative teachers’ professional experience on the use of criteria in monologic and dialogic assessment of 12 role-plays of 3 apology speech acts. To this end, 60...
