Students' performance on writing tasks has shown to be variable. Students do not write texts of a constant quality. Research has shown that to some extent variations in prior knowledge can account for the difference in text quality, especially topic knowledge and knowledge of text types. This article argues that research on the influence of prior knowledge on writing lacks an explicit definition of such knowledge. An overview of theories on types and qualities of knowledge is presented to give a more detailed definition of prior knowledge. Furthermore, it is argued that research methods differ in the extent to which they are suited to measuring a specific type or quality of knowledge. A word-association task is described as an example of a method that can be used to measure a range of qualities of prior knowledge.

The World Health Organization Regional Office of the Western Pacific's definition of a healthy workplace is a place where all members work together to achieve a unified vision for the health and well-being of the workers and the community. A healthy work environment is where all members are provided with the physical, psychological, social, and organizational states that protect and promote their health and safety.  A positive work environment for nurses has been concisely described as a work environment where nurses are supported to function at the highest scope of clinical practice, working effectively in an interdisciplinary manner with the team of caregivers mobilizing resources quickly. This paper describes the level of quality of the work environment of nurses in a public hospital in Negros Occidental. Likewise, it explores the difference in the level of quality of the work environment when nurses are grouped according to their demographics. Also, it determines the challenges encountered by nurses in their work environment.

Purpose Business processes (BPs) of public administrations (PAs) are often described in the form of written procedures or operational manuals. These business process descriptions are expected to be properly understood and applied by civil servants, who have to provide legally compliant service provisions to the citizens. However, process descriptions in the PA are sometimes hard to read, ambiguous, or vague, leading to false interpretations or even incorrect execution of the processes. The purpose of this paper is to focus on improving the descriptions of BPs to be used in PAs. Design/methodology/approach To this end, the authors present an in-depth domain analysis, including a literature review and interviews with PA stakeholders belonging to different realities. From this analysis, the authors identified a set of 52 typical defects of process descriptions. Findings The authors provide a set of guidelines and a template to constrain the definition of these documents and to mitigate the identified defects. Furthermore, the authors outline research challenges in the field of quality assessment of textual process descriptions for the PA. Research limitations/implications This paper addresses the needs of any PA officer who has to write an official procedure or operational manual, and should be studied by researchers who wish to provide automatic strategies to check the quality of these documents. Originality/value Text quality issues have been addressed in various fields (e.g. requirements engineering), but not in the area of BP descriptions of PAs. The contribution consists in the study of the quality issues that occur and create problems in the practice of this particular domain. Based on this insight, we provide directions for research that will find solutions to mitigate the issues.

Abstract The following article will describe the procedure of quality control of a car park repair with synthetic resin coating. Basic prerequisites for the realisation of the quality control are exact knowledge of the condition of the building, the assessment of possible repair variants, the necessary know-how in product application as well as the definition of the limits to be observed. The example shows that frequently the quality of the work carried out is improved in the process of construction up to a satisfactory level. Due to constant quality control, faults were discovered in time. Quality control has proved to be successful provided that all parties involved are behind this concept and are prepared to carry through the quality requirements defined.

Cultural Roles

The article is devoted to the semantics and pragmatics of Russian poetry as deictic pointers to the poetic sphere and one of the six universal socio-cultural roles - the role of the poet-writer. The communicative role is interpreted as an element of speech behavior, determined by the basic communication settings: to be and to seem . It is shown that the stylistic coloring of poetry is formed only due to its stable correlation with the typical context and role; poeticisms by themselves do not create poetry and cannot even be considered as its obligatory feature, so they are primarily the subject of literary language theory and reflects the general cultural consciousness of speakers. In connection with the requirement to distinguish between the stylistics of language and speech, we review the difference between the poetic style of the language, which is a repository of poeticisms, from the poetic language as a style of speech (an operational system of techniques and tactics that ensure the performance of an artistic task); a detailed definition of poetic language is given. There is also a short observation of poeticisms at different levels of the linguistic system. The article proposes the description of the semantic structure of Russian poeticisms. It is emphasized that poeticisms can be used according to their artistic perspective (as a narrative tool, role-playing tool, to eliminate any speech image, in an ironic manner, etc.), however, their condensation in the text discloses the priority of an extra-aesthetic strategy of self-presentation in the role of a poet and, as a result, can be an indicator of “bad poetry”. This idea is shown on the example of a typical text of mass poetry saturated with poeticisms. The experience of compiling the poetic corpus of “Russian Live Stylistic Dictionary” discovers the possibility to identify the stylistic semantics of the word and to predict the artistic quality of the text.

The Difference

The goal of linked data instance matching is to detect all instances that co-refer to the same objects in two linked data repositories, the source and the target. Since the amount of linked data is rapidly growing, it is important to automate this task. However, the difference between the schemata of source and target repositories remains a challenging barrier. This barrier reduces the portability, accuracy, and scalability of many proposed approaches. The authors present automatic schema-independent interlinking (ASL), which is a schema-independent system that performs instance matching on repositories with different schemata, without prior knowledge about the schemata. The key improvements of ASL compared to previous systems are the detection of useful attribute pairs for comparing instances, an attribute-driven token-based blocking scheme, and an effective modification of existing string similarities. To verify the performance of ASL, the authors conducted experiments on a large dataset containing 246 subsets with different schemata. The results show that ASL obtains high accuracy and significantly improves the quality of discovered coreferences against recently proposed complex systems.

Abstract Four methods for initialization of ensemble forecasts are systematically compared, namely the methods of singular vectors (SV) and bred modes (BM), as well as the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and the ensemble transform Kalman filter (ETKF). The comparison is done on synthetic data with two models of the flow, namely, a low-order model introduced by Lorenz and a three-level quasigeostrophic atmospheric model. For the latter, both cases of a perfect and an imperfect model are considered. The performance of the various initialization methods is assessed in terms of the statistical reliability and resolution of the ensuing predictions. The relative performance of the four methods, which is statistically significant to a range of about 6 days, is in the order EnKF &gt; ETKF &gt; BM &gt; SV. The difference between the former two methods and the latter two is on the whole more significant than the differences between EnKF and ETKF, or between BM and SV separately. The general conclusion is that, if the quality of ensemble predictions is assessed by the degree to which the predicted ensembles statistically sample the uncertainty on the future state of the flow, the best initial ensembles are those that best statistically sample the uncertainty on the present state of the flow.
