background the need for competence training and development in health management and leadership workforces has been emphasised. however, evidence of the outcomes and impact of such training and development has not been systematically assessed. the aim of this review is to synthesise the available evidence of the outcomes and impact of training and development in relation to the competence of he...

The role of using meta-discourse elements in writing, especially in research newspapers, is so important that their authors can convey certainty, doubt, and characteristics of the writers in their writings. There are different meta-discourse markers used by various authors in different branches; for example, hedges and boosters are the most important devices in writing. The meta-discourse eleme...

The task of automatically estimating the location of web resources is of central importance in location-based services on the Web. Much attention has been focused on Flickr photos and videos, for which it was found that language modeling approaches are particularly suitable. In particular, state-of-the art systems for georeferencing Flickr photos tend to cluster the locations on Earth in a rela...

One central task in software development by means of graph-based techniques is to inspect and to query the underlying graph. Important issues are, for example, to detect general graph properties like connectivity, to explore more special features like the applicability of left-hand side rules in graph transformations, or to validate snapshots of evolving systems by checking properties in an on-...

A key role in OLAP analyses of textual user-generated content for social business intelligence (SBI) is played by topics, i.e., concepts of interest within a subject area. Topic hierarchies are irregular, heterogeneous, dynamic, and possibly schemaless; besides, unlike in traditional OLAP, di↵erent semantics for topic aggregation can be envisioned. In this demonstration we present an architectu...

Because of today’s diversity of models and heterogeneous modelling languages in the area of business modelling there is a need to automate model transformations on the level of business process models. To define such transformation processes in a simple way, a graphical modelling approach is required. In previous works a textual model transformation tool, the BMT (BOC Model Transformer) has bee...

Nowadays most web pages contain both text and images. Nevertheless, search engines index documents based on their disseminated content or their meta-tags only. Although many search engines offer image search, this service is based over textual information filtering and retrieval. Thus, in order to facilitate effective search for images on the web, text analysis and image processing must work in...

In this paper, we propose a solution of XML graphical querying based on the XQuery language. Our proposal integrates textual, spatial and temporal metadata in order to improve information retrieve and present document suitable to the user’s needs. We, also, propose the extension of the XQuery by new operators in XQuery grammar to facilitate the meta-documents and documents querying enriched by ...
