In a hospital, doctors and nurses shares roles in treating admitted patients. Communication between them is necessary and communication errors become the problem in medical safety. In Japan, verbal instruction is prohibited and doctors write their instruction on paper instruction slips. However, because it is difficult to ascertain revision history and the active instructions on instruction sli...

BACKGROUND Many patients who receive steroid pulse therapy go home the same day or the day after steroid administration. Nursing instructions are important for improving patient knowledge related to their diseases and treatments, but the short hospital stay often prevents complete education and guidance regarding the given therapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the need for nursi...

The paper introduces an input-driven generative model for tree-structured data that extends the bottom-up hidden tree Markov model with non-homogenous transition and emission probabilities. The advantage of introducing an input-driven dynamics in structured-data processing is experimentally investigated. The results of this preliminary analysis suggest that input-driven models can capture more ...

This study aims to describe the risk management method used by the Brazilian Army, ranging from the guidelines, norms, and standards to the implementation of activities in the barracks, providing a brief comparison with key occupational safety provisions by the Ministry of Labor and Employment. A qualitative approach was used, based on triangulation of data collection techniques: document colle...

Instruction on problem solving in particular domains typically relies on explanations from experts about their strategies. However, research indicates that such self-reports often are incomplete or inaccurate (e.g., Chao & Salvendy, 1994; Cooke & Breedin, 1994). This article evaluates research on experts’ cognition, the accuracy of experts’ self-reports, and the efficacy of instruction based on...

Gender induction has been claimed to be virtually impossible unless nouns provide reliable semantic or phonological gender-relevant cues. However, learners might exploit syntactic cues, such as definite articles, to infer the gender of gender-unmarked nouns. In children's poems and songs, such syntactic cues are presented in a highly structured fashion. We assessed gender-like category inductio...

We have evolved several types of Loop Structured Computers (LSCs) to build a system with small hardware overhead to apply it system-on-chip (SoC). In recent studies, we investigated control flow methods with software-based approach with a general-purpose instruction set. In this paper, we proposed two specialized instruction sets for communications in order to reduce transmission latency. One u...

Preschool children at familial risk for reading disability were assessed on cognitive and linguistic variables and compared with preschoolers without familial risk. Risk children displayed performance profiles resembling those of older children with reading disability. Each group received intensive instruction in phonemic awareness and structured book reading. Instructed risk children made some...

Abstract This study explores the effects of instruction on acquisition motion event construal among learners English as a second language. The challenge for with Verb-framed first languages is that they need to ‘unlearn’ boundary-crossing constraint and conflate manner in main verb, she ran into bank , however, there little research how this domain can be taught. We evaluate performance story-t...
