Abstract Concept mapping facilitates the externalisation and internalisation of knowledge by individuals during collaborative construction. However, not much is known about individual learning processes concept (CCM) in interdisciplinary Premised on literature collaboration scripts to scaffold process, this study investigates effect an preparation phase prior work epistemic social co-constructi...

Within the information systems (IS) research discipline, conceptual modeling is widely discussed as a fundamental task for IS-development as it leads to shared domain knowledge between IS developers and business personnel. As well as IS-research modeling takes place within a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural context. Thereby, the (mostly implicit) assumptions made by different researchers m...

which may be regarded as a method of the “class” of record values that contain a numeric age field. It is possible both to integrate this form of record polymorphism with the parametric (universal) polymorphism and also to express a number of object-oriented programming paradigms by combining higherorder functions with field selection. Since then a number of alternative schemes [Wan87, Sta88, O...

Large-scale transactional systems still suffer from not viable trust management strategies. Given its intrinsic characteristics, blockchain technology appears as interesting from this perspective. A semantic layer built upon a basic blockchain infrastructure would join the benefits of flexible resource/service discovery and validation by consensus. This paper proposes a novel Service-oriented A...

Introduction The syndrome of hyper-IgE syndrome or Job syndrome or Burckley syndrome, is a rare primary immunodeficiency characterized by defective phagocytic manifesting recurrent infections, mainly Staphylococcal associated with eczema severe atopic, musculoskeletal disorders, pathological fractures, scoliosis and levels high IgE (> 2.000UI / ml). Among the immunological characteristics, we c...

This practice guideline on gestational diabetes is a treatment oriented short version of the evidence based guideline that can be viewed in the internet. It replaces the DDG and DGGG recommendations of 2001 for diagnostic and therapy of gestational diabetes. A complete rework had become necessary in view of epidemiologically based diagnostic criteria, which had been derived from the Hyperglycae...

One of the most intriguing of the many discrepancies between perceived spatial relationships and the physical structure of visual stimuli is the Poggendorff illusion, when an obliquely oriented line that is interrupted no longer appears collinear. Although many different theories have been proposed to explain this effect, there has been no consensus about its cause. Here, we use a database of r...

Agents are becoming a popular technology for the development of distributed, heterogeneous and always available systems. In those systems, interactions are essential, but semantic heterogeneity turns the establishment of interaction among agents into a problem. When considering reputation models in multi-agent systems, the lack of a consensus about the reputation definition could be a problem f...
