Introduction. The changes trend from traditional to community oriented medical education necessitates that the social medicine courses be more effective and presented at an appropriate time. The object of this study is the comparison between medical physiopathology and stager students’ competency in practical social medicine course. Methods. All the medical students who entered the health appr...

Traditional interpretations of hominid carcass acquisition strategies revolve around the debate over whether early hominids hunted or scavenged. A popular version of the scavenging scenario is the carnivore-hominid-carnivore hypothesis, which argues that hominids acquired animal resources primarily through passive opportunistic scavenging from felid-defleshed carcasses. Its main empirical suppo...

This paper proposes a classification via clustering approach to predict the final marks in a university course on the basis of forum data. The objective is twofold: to determine if student participation in the course forum can be a good predictor of the final marks for the course and to examine whether the proposed classification via clustering approach can obtain similar accuracy to traditiona...

In this paper we investigate the use of facial skin mark information for biometric person verification. We performed statistical analysis of the facial skin mark information. The position, size and color intensity of the skin marks are considered as features for skin mark based face matching. Developed facial skin mark matcher has good performance, but can not be applied to faces with no detect...

This study introduces a new imaging method of detection marks of ferromagnetic material, based on the Hall sensor array. Unlike the traditional NDT imaging technology, the technique presented is measuring magnetic field of ferromagnetic material surface and reading the difference by imaging the magnetic signals to find the marks. The study also introduces the principle and the system architectu...

In recent years, author profiling (AP) has become a very relevant task for natural language processing (NLP). The main goal of 43 Research in Computing Science 115 (2016) pp. 43–56; rec. 2016-04-22; acc. 2016-05-15 AP is automatically determine demographic aspects from an author, for example, genre and age. In this paper we present a method for author profiling; particularly, we are interested ...

Conventional techniques for assessing the knowledge and clinical competence of undergraduate medical students are widely acknowledged as being unsatisfactory. We introduced an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for our fourth year medical students at the end of their accident and emergency (A&E) medicine attachment. This paper outlines the organisation of the examination and the r...
