The objective was to identify the difference in knowledge about hypothermia in nursing assistant after an educational intervention. The conceptual basis of education is based on the prospect of meaningful learning allied to the construction of the conceptual map and the case study. Data were collected through the questionnaire validated by experts. The average knowledge after the educational in...

The abstraction gap between organization models and models of software artifacts is of fundamental ontological nature, and bridging this gap cannot be achieved with solutions located either on the technological abstraction level or on the conceptual level separately. The work presented in this article describes a meta-model based approach to explicate design decisions on how to map conceptual o...

Within the conceptual phase of design, architects (and designers in general) collect and look at design documents. These design documents are sources of knowledge and inspiration for designers. In order to support knowledge representation and information organization in an integrated manner during the conceptual design phase, an information model named Architectural Information Map (ArcIMap) ha...

To add time support to the relational model, both first normal form (INF) and non-INF approaches have been proposed. Each has associated dii]iculties. Remaining within INF when time support is added may introduce data redundancy. The non-lNF models may not be capable of directly using existing relational storage structures or query evaluation strategies. This paper describes a new, conceptual t...

To add time support to the relational model, both rst normal form (1NF) and non-1NF approaches have been proposed. Each has associated diiculties. Remaining within 1NF when time support is added may introduce data redundancy. The non-1NF models may be incapable of directly using existing relational storage structures or query evaluation technologies. This paper describes a new, conceptual tempo...

Personalized study planning framework consists four graphs for personalized study planning: a graph representing a conceptual structure of study program; a graph representing study course; a graph visualizing each topic of study course using concept map; a graph representing learning objects. This paper describes third graph – a graph for study course topic structure displaying and knowledge as...

In this paper, we present our participation in the Medical Records Track of TREC2012. We focus on the impact of combining the word space and the concept space in the information retrieval process. For this track, we submitted a baseline run by employing the In_expC2 weighting model implemented in the Terrier platform, which achieved fair results (0.304 MAP, 0.51P@10). Then, we expanded the docu...

Many geographic information systems (GISs) attempt to imitate the manual process of laying transparent map layers over one another on a light table and analyzing the resulting configurations. While this map-overlay metaphor, familiar to many geo-scientists, has been used as a design principle for the underlying architecture of GISs, it has not yet been visually manifested at the user interface....

Turbulent changes and competitive pressures have forced organizations to constantly change. Business process redesign Ž . BPR has been widely adopted as an organizational change method in the 1990s. Although BPR projects provide the possibility of dramatic performance improvement, many organizations have encountered serious problems due to the lack of commitment to such projects and the difficu...

We briefly describe the methodology we have adopted in order to develop ontologies. Because our scenarios involved domain experts distributed geographically, the domain analysis and knowledge acquisition phases used different independent technologies that were not always integrated into the Protégé suite. Groupware capabilities were thus achieved. From these experiences we identify conceptual m...
