Concept maps can represent individual knowledge by the set of concepts and relations between them. The representation is fast, telling and natural, and besides the structural, relational knowledge that can be expressed by means of set of propositions (explicit knowledge), it is usually possible to find additional, hidden knowledge in the concept map structure (implicit knowledge). This hidden k...

Three studies demonstrated that postsuppressional rebound (PSR) may be both reduced and enhanced by manipulating people's attributions about why they experience difficulty during suppression. Telling participants that suppression failures indicate a high motivation to use the suppressed construct produced more PSR than telling them that suppression failures indicate a low motivation to use the ...

background and objectives: most physicians believe that telling lies and withholding the truth is not permissible. however, it appears that holding the phenomenon telling the truth to be absolute or unconditional is not acceptable either. this study was conducted to examine qom city physicians’ attitudes with regard to revealing the influential news to patients. methods: this was a descriptive-...

Table functions, also referred to as graphical provide a powerful and user-friendly way represent nonlinear relationships between variables in system dynamics (SD) models. However, many cases modelers may benefit from using analytical equations for model sensitivity testing communicating with researchers other fields disciplines. We propose six that can be used of the commonly formulated table ...

In the framework of multi-target use of a given ontology, this paper proposes a representation of vocabularies based on the identification of elementary vocabularies, which can be equivalently defined using specializations of the “kind of” relation. It defines a way of combining contexts and vocabularies that allows context-specific querying.
