Current Knowledge Base

Medical information has been traditionally maintained in books, journals, and specialty periodicals. Now, a growing number of people, including patients and caregivers, turn to a variety of sources on the Internet, most of which are run by commercial entities, to retrieve healthcare-related information. The next area of growth will be sites that focus on specific fields of medicine, featuring high quality data culled from scholarly publications, operated by eminent domain specialists. One such site is being developed for the field of Gastrointestinal Motility; it further augments the innovations of existing healthcare information sites with the intention of serving the diverse needs of lay people, medical students, and experts in the field. The site, called Gastrointestinal Motility Online, leverages the strengths of online textbooks, which have a high degree of organization, in conjunction with the strengths of online journal collections, which are more comprehensive and focused, to produce a knowledge base that can be easily updated, but still provides authoritative and high quality information to users. In addition to implementing existing Web technologies such as Wiki- and Amazon-style commenting options, Gastrointestinal Motility Online uses automatic methods to assemble information from various heterogeneous data sources to create a coherent, cogent, and current knowledge base serving a diverse base of users.

Few pathophysiological processes have a higher morbidity and mortality than sepsis. Implementing effective strategies to improve these poor outcomes remains a challenge. Previous work has shown improvements using single and multifaceted approaches, many with inclusion of sepsis training for doctors and nurses. However, previous work has not necessarily trained all those involved in the recognition and treatment of sepsis. After sepsis simulation training using cognitive-constructivist teaching methods, reaudit demonstrated highly significant improvement in ‘sepsis-six’ delivery. This study found inclusion of healthcare assistants in sepsis training is of great importance. This training should be tailored to personnel’s current knowledge base and level of experience.

The text contains a report from the National Congress of Accounting Departments organized by the Accounting Institute of the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management at the University of Szczecin. The congress, under the slogan "Accounting in business unit management", took place on September 18–20, 2019 in Szczecin. During the congress, there were sessions and debates, a lecture on access to the current knowledge base in the field of accounting, controlling, and law as a support in the teaching process. The participants took part in the workshop "Split payment mechanism - changes and current problems" and had the opportunity to have a discussion during a poster session. On the first day of the congress, professor Kazimiera Winiarska (University of Szczecin) was thanked for her many years of engagement and scientific activity.

Abstract The field of teaching Chinese as a second language (CSL) is expanding and growing in importance worldwide. Related fields, such as Chinese language pedagogy, language policy, and the acquisition of Chinese as a second language, are attracting increased attention in research. However, research into K-12 CSL teacher cognition (what teachers know, think, and believe) has been very limited. It has been reported that more understanding of language teacher cognition has significant impacts on the development of teacher training and professional development programs (Borg, 2015; Kubanyiova & Feryok, 2015). Many aspects of CSL teacher cognition are underexplored when compared with language teacher cognition research in general and K-12 language teacher cognition research specifically. This article reviews current theoretical and empirical research into language teacher cognition with a particular focus on existing studies in the field of CSL teaching in the context of K-12 education. The purposes of the review article are (1) to document the current knowledge base of CSL teaching, and (2) to discuss current gaps in and future directions of teacher cognition research in this area. It first discusses general theories and research concerning second language teacher cognition within current research paradigms, and then provides a review of CSL teacher cognition research. Finally, it reviews pressing issues and suggests directions for future research in K-12 Chinese teacher cognition.

In this chapter we discuss ways of assisting experts to develop complex knowledge bases for a variety of natural language processing tasks. The proposed techniques are embedded into an existing knowledge acquisition framework, KAFTIE, specifically designed for building knowledge bases for natural language processing. Our intelligent agent, the rule suggestion module within KAFTIE, assists the expert by suggesting new rules in order to address incorrect behavior of the current knowledge base. The suggested rules are based on previously entered rules which were “hand-crafted” by the expert. Initial experiments with the new rule suggestion module are very encouraging as they resulted in a more compact knowledge base of comparable quality to a fully hand-crafted knowledge base. At the same time the development time for the more compact knowledge base was considerably reduced.

This entry provides a brief history of social work's changing knowledge base about human behavior and identifies the current knowledge base as multidimensional, multispherical, multicultural, multidirectional, multidisciplinary, and multitheoretical. It provides an overview of eight broad theoretical perspectives currently used in social work: systems, conflict, rational choice, social constructionist, psychodynamic, developmental, social behavioral, and humanistic perspectives. Each perspective is analyzed in terms of its central ideas, practice implications, and empirical evidence. The entry ends with a brief discussion of trends and directions.

Taking a feminist health psychology approach, we conducted a systematic review of published research on abortion featured in PsycINFO over a 7-year period. We analysed the 39 articles included in the review in terms of countries in which the research was conducted, types of research, issues covered, the way the research was framed and main findings. Despite 97 per cent of abortions performed in Africa being classifiable as unsafe, there has been no engagement in knowledge production about abortion in Africa from psychologists, outside of South Africa. Given this, we outline the implications of the current knowledge base for feminism, psychology and feminist health psychology in Africa.

Pain is the most frequently communicated complaint among elderly people. Discussion of the ethics of pain management in nursing home residents has not appeared in the literature. The purpose of this article is to present an ethically-based pain management action plan for elderly nursing home residents. Nurses empowered with the latest information and cognizant and comfortable with their own views about pain are likely to effectuate a positive patient outcome. Further research will add to the current knowledge base while laying the groundwork for new interventions.
