Knowledge Management Architecture - Principles and Tendencies

Algorithmic research is an established knowledge engineering process that has allowed researchers to identify new or significant problems, to better understand existing approaches and experimental results, and to obtain new, effective and efficient solutions. While algorithmic researchers regularly contribute to this knowledge base by proposing new problems and novel solutions, the processes currently used to share this knowledge are inefficient, resulting in unproductive overhead. Most of these publication-centered processes lack explicit high-level knowledge structures to support efficient knowledge management. The authors describe a problem-centered collaborative knowledge management architecture associated with Computational Problem Solving (CPS).Knowledge Management Architecture, algorithmic research, ontology, Knowledge-Based Systems

Contributions to Using IT in Education: An Educational Video Player

Following the trends of IT use in education we propose four main principles of educational application development: anytime-anywhere access (including access for mobile devices); user-generated content; assigning users an active role inside the platform; creating a correlation between natural activities and educational activities – adding fun into the equation. With these principles in mind we developed a small Educational Player – a movie player that connects to a database to show information relevant to the events in the movie, more specific to the exact key-frame (in the movie time-line) at the moment of the request. Though the application is still in a conceptual form, its possibilities make us confident in its future success either as an informal way of learning, or by using it in a formal educational context either as an e-learning tool, either as interactivity tool in a traditional classroom setting.E-learning, Educational Technologies, Multimedia Applications

The SGIA and the Common Growing Language

Human or virtual agents are presented in our lives daily. They serve our purposes and represent us in different many situations. Nowadays the number of virtual agents is increasing daily because they are cheaper, faster and more accurate than human agents. Our aim in this article is to define a new type of intelligent agent called SGIA – Self Growing Intelligent Agent and a new defining language for it. The SGIA agent is an intelligent agent with all the common agents’ characteristics and with other special one: that to learn and grow by itself in knowledge and size.Software Agent, Knowledge Management, Education Process, Language Development

CONSTRUCTION OF A GENERALIZED MODEL FOR DETERMINATION THE BROKER BEHAVIOUR FOR CAPITAL MARKET

The model checkers are tools which can be used to verify a given system satisfies a given temporal logic formula. The model is a directed graph where the nodes represent the states of the system and the edges represents the state transitions. The nodes and the edges can be labelled with atomic propositions what describe the states and the transitions of the system. In order to be verified by a given model, a property is written as a temporal logic formula across the labelled propositions from the model. A model checker is an algorithm that determines the states of a model that satisfy a temporal logic formula.

CONSIDERATIONS ON USING KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF E-LEARNING PLATFORMS

Developed in the business sector, where it proved to increase employee motivation, enhance customer support services and overall business efficiency, Knowledge Management found its way to higher education institutions. This paper tries to argument the benefits of using KM principles when designing an e-learning platform as well as point out a few practical implementations.knowledge management, e-learning, higher education

THE PARTICULARITIES OF THE MAINTENANCE THERAPY IN PERIODONTAL- IMPLANT-PROSTHETIC FIELD FOR THE PERIODONTIC PATIENT

Introduction: The incidence of total edentulous cases became very low and the partial edentation is predominant, therefore, implant overdentures is an important alternative for the treatment plan. Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study was to evaluate in time the changes of the bone tissue surrounding the dental implants inserted for the treatment of partially edentulous patients, in different overdenture types. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 41 partially edentulous patients, on whom we inserted 245 dental implants, on upper maxilla and mandible, in anterior and posterior areas; the overdentures were conducted in the following situations: dental crown on single implant, implants in dental bridges, overdentures with mixed support (implant and tooth support). We assessed the implant and the prosthetic maintenance. Results and discussions: No difference was observed for the three overdentures situations regarding the bone tissue changes. The bone loss after 6 months was higher for the maxilla than for the mandible. The rate of bone loss in the first 6 months was higher in the following situations: bone dehiscence, when using bone grafts or membranes, ceramic-fused-to-metal prosthetics. Conclusions: The long term prognosis for single crown and bridge overdentures is favorabl

Low incidence of SARS-CoV-2, risk factors of mortality and the course of illness in the French national cohort of dialysis patients

International audienceThe aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of COVID-19 disease in the French national population of dialysis patients, their course of illness and to identify the risk factors associated with mortality. Our study included all patients on dialysis recorded in the French REIN Registry in April 2020. Clinical characteristics at last follow-up and the evolution of COVID-19 illness severity over time were recorded for diagnosed cases (either suspicious clinical symptoms, characteristic signs on the chest scan or a positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) for SARS-CoV-2. A total of 1,621 infected patients were reported on the REIN registry from March 16th, 2020 to May 4th, 2020. Of these, 344 died. The prevalence of COVID-19 patients varied from less than 1% to 10% between regions. The probability of being a case was higher in males, patients with diabetes, those in need of assistance for transfer or treated at a self-care unit. Dialysis at home was associated with a lower probability of being infected as was being a smoker, a former smoker, having an active malignancy, or peripheral vascular disease. Mortality in diagnosed cases (21%) was associated with the same causes as in the general population. Higher age, hypoalbuminemia and the presence of an ischemic heart disease were statistically independently associated with a higher risk of death. Being treated at a selfcare unit was associated with a lower risk. Thus, our study showed a relatively low frequency of COVID-19 among dialysis patients contrary to what might have been assumed
