Testing scientific models using a QR model: Application to cellulose biodegradation

The rapidly growing set of scientific publications makes it difficult for researchers to keep track of the progress to-wards adequate mechanistic explanations of phenomena. However, high-level representations can support integrating seemingly different results and ideas presented in the literature. This paper reports on our effort to deploy the qualitative reasoning framework as an instrument towards this end

Requirements and challenges for hybrid intelligence: A case-study in education

The potential for Artificial Intelligence is widely proclaimed. Yet, in everyday educational settings the use of this technology is limited. Particularly, if we consider smart systems that actually interact with learners in a knowledgeable way and as such support the learning process. It illustrates the fact that teaching professionally is a complex challenge that is beyond the capabilities of current autonomous robots. On the other hand, dedicated forms of Artificial Intelligence can be very good at certain things. For example, computers are excellent chess players and automated route planners easily outperform humans. To deploy this potential, experts argue for a hybrid approach in which humans and smart systems collaboratively accomplish goals. How to realize this for education? What does it entail in practice? In this contribution, we investigate the idea of a hybrid approach in secondary education. As a case-study, we focus on learners acquiring systems thinking skills and our recently for this purpose developed pedagogical approach. Particularly, we discuss the kind of Artificial Intelligence that is needed in this situation, as well as which tasks the software can perform well and which tasks are better, or necessarily, left with the teacher

Faces of ACEs for Nursing Education

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that occur in childhood. They include children experiencing violence, abuse, neglect, or witnessing violence in the home. ACEs also incorporate environmental factors that threaten a child\u27s stability and safety, such as having family members struggle with substance abuse, mental health, or instability due to parental separation or absent family members. There is significant evidence that ACEs are related to negative health outcomes in adulthood including chronic health problems, mental illness, and substance misuse. ACEs are common and experienced by many. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 6 adults report having experienced four or more ACEs as a child and 61 percent report experiencing at least one. By discussing the impact of ACEs and working to prevent them, there could be a reduction in the number of negative health conditions in adulthood. As future health professionals, we desire to be educated and aspire to educate other future nurses on the impact that adverse childhood experiences have on individuals and how they impact the health outcomes of patients we will work with everyday. Through Faces of ACEs case studies, we believe that empathy and understanding will be gained by nursing students
