We describe a method and system design for improved data discovery in an integrated network of open geospatial that supports collaborative policy development between governments local constituents. Metadata about civic (such as thematic categories, user-generated tags, geo-references, or attribute schemata) primarily rely on technical vocabularies reflect scientific organizational hierarchies. By contrast, public consumers often search information using colloquial terminology does not align...
ABSTRACT Functional compensation in late life is poorly understood but may be vital to understanding long‐term cognitive trajectories. To study this we first established an empirically derived threshold distinguish hippocampal atrophy those with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI n = 34) from proficient cognition (PRO 22), using data a population‐based cohort. Next, identify compensatory networks compared cortical activity patterns during graded spatial working memory (SWM) task only cognitively...
We aimed to study linguistic and non-linguistic elements of diagnostic reasoning across the continuum medical education. performed semi-structured interviews premedical students, first year third second internal medicine residents, experienced faculty (ten each) as they diagnosed three common causes dyspnea. A observer recorded emotional tone. All were digitally blinded transcripts created. Propositional analysis concept mapping performed. Grounded theory was used identify salient categories...

Improving academic quality requires feedback from students since they have specific insight in their lived educational experience. Most institutions assess experience by evaluating individual modules. Few collectively review evaluation data multiple modules or explore this for evidence of curriculum transformation. The University Pretoria developed four transformation drivers and the School Health Systems Public implemented 19 transformation-related statements. We revised standard...
Commercially run direct-to-consumer (DTC) telemedicine services are on the rise in countries such as Australia and United States. These include DTC that web-based, largely asynchronous, offer targeted treatment pathways for specific health issues (eg, weight loss or sexual function). It has been argued improves access to care promotes patient empowerment. Despite research examining quality safety issues, little is known about users' reasons accessing their perceptions of them. In this study,...

Abstract An example of a school-based in-service education initiative is described and its tensions benefits discussed. The setting large special school where both the teaching support staff are involved in this continuing professional development (CPD) provision. Three specific perspectives on management programme identified considered. These analysis rationale CPD model adopted, relationship between personal enhancement resulting from involvement. One such tension arises attempting to...
Humanitarian Aid / Disaster Relief (HA/DR) missions are a continuing concern for world governments and NGOs. The vastness complexity of the HA/DR emphasizes need quality conceptual model (CM) development (CMD). Two challenges CMD correctly determining fidelity to system validating CM. relies heavily on qualitative assessments from subject matter experts. Likewise, its validation is qualitative; often performed through reviews. This approach works well simpler or familiar systems; however...
