Desktop Conferencing

We produced continuing education material in physical rehabilitation using a variety of electronic media. We compared four methods of delivering the learning modules: in person with a computer projector, desktop videoconferencing, Web pages and CD-ROM. Health-care workers at eight community hospitals and two nursing homes were asked to participate in the project. A total of 394 questionnaires were received for all modalities: 73 for in-person sessions, 50 for desktop conferencing, 227 for Web pages and 44 for CD-ROM. This represents a 100% response rate from the in-person, desktop conferencing and CD-ROM groups; the response rate for the Web group is unknown, since the questionnaires were completed online. Almost all participants found the modules to be helpful in their work. The CD-ROM group gave significantly higher ratings than the Web page group, although all four learning modalities received high ratings. A combination of all four modalities would be required to provide the best possible learning opportunity.

Supply Information

This work presents a Virtual Assistant (VA) whose main goal is to supply information for Websites users. AVA is a software system that interacts with persons through a Web browser, receiving textual questions and answering automatically without human intervention. The VA supplies information by looking for similar questions in a knowledge base and giving the corresponding answer. Artificial Intelligence techniques are employed in this matching process, to compare the user’s question against questions stored in the base. The main advantage of using the VA is to minimize information overload when users get lost in Websites. The VA can guide the user across the web pages or directly supply information. This is especially important for customers visiting an enterprise site, looking for products, services or prices or needing information about some topic. The VA can also help in Knowledge Management processes inside enterprises, offering an easy way for people storing and retrieving knowledge. An extra advantage is to reduce the structure of Call Centers, since the VA can be given to customers in a CD-ROM. Furthermore, the VA provides Webmasters with statistics about the usage of the VA (themes more asked, number of visitants, time of conversation).

Day by day the volume of information availability in the web is growing significantly. There are several data structures for information available in the web such as structured, semi-structured and unstructured. Majority of information in the web is presented in web pages. The information presented in web pages is semi-structured.  But the information required for a context are scattered in different web documents. It is difficult to analyze the large volumes of semi-structured information presented in the web pages and to make decisions based on the analysis. The current research work proposed a frame work for a system that extracts information from various sources and prepares reports based on the knowledge built from the analysis. This simplifies  data extraction, data consolidation, data analysis and decision making based on the information presented in the web pages.The proposed frame work integrates web crawling, information extraction and data mining technologies for better information analysis that helps in effective decision making.   It enables people and organizations to extract information from various sourses of web and to make an effective analysis on the extracted data for effective decision making.  The proposed frame work is applicable for any application domain. Manufacturing,sales,tourisum,e-learning are various application to menction few.The frame work is implemetnted and tested for the effectiveness of the proposed system and the results are promising.

When designing a layout, the designer must be aware of fundamental principles so as to make the design structured and consistent. When planning layout, a designer cannot be random and must consider essential factors, such as the media type, the readers, the design elements and so on. Electronic media, like web pages and electronic books, is a newer media than the print media, and is different in several aspects. Yet, the basic principles of the design are still identical. A solid layout is a great tool in communicating messages visually.

Nowadays, internet satisfying people with different services related to different fields. The profit, as well as non-profit organization, uses the internet for various business purposes. One of the major is communicated various financial as well as non-financial information on their respective websites. This study is conducted on the top 30 BSE listed public sector companies, to measure the extent of governance disclosure (non-financial information) on their web pages. The disclosure index approach to examine the extent of governance disclosure on the internet was used. The governance index was constructed and broadly categorized into three dimensions, i.e., organization and structure, strategy & Planning and accountability, compliance, philosophy & risk management. The empirical evidence of the study reveals that all the Indian public sector companies have a website, and on average, 67% of companies disclosed some kind of governance information directly on their websites. Further, we found extreme variations in the web disclosure between the three categories, i.e., The Maharatans, The Navratans, and Miniratans. However, the result of Kruskal-Wallis indicates that there is no such significant difference between the three categories. The study provides valuable insights into the Indian economy. It explored that Indian public sector companies use the internet for governance disclosure to some extent, but lacks symmetry in the disclosure. It is because there is no such regulation for web disclosure. Thus, the recommendation of the study highlighted that there must be such a regulated framework for the web disclosure so that stakeholders ensure the transparency and reliability of the information.

Current Role

Continuing professional development (CPD) is a lifelong learning approach to maintain and enhance professional competencies. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the pharmacists’ preferred CPD activities and barriers to CPD participation. A survey instrument was distributed to all government pharmacists (N=3876) in Malaysia. The response rate was 29.2 %. The majority of the pharmacists (92%) believed that engaging in CPD would improve their performances in their current role. Almost 90% of the respondents preferred to participate in CPD activities associated with continuing education such as workshops and conferences attendance. Barriers to CPD participation were current job constraints, lack of time, and accessibility in terms of travel and cost. It is important to address these issues before the implementation of mandatory CPD for pharmacists in Malaysia.

Dear Colleague: The American Academy of Pediatrics Department of Committees and Sections are pleased to present this supplement to PEDIATRICS. This is the fourth supplement devoted entirely to abstracts of presentations given at the Academy's Annual Meeting. It contains a vast array of subspecialty information in a structured abstract format, which will be indexed in the journal and be retrievable through all of the document delivery systems that feature PEDIATRICS. It will also be available on the yearly CD ROM update of PEDIATRICS. In addition this publication will serve as a guide and timetable for the Academy's Section programs which will be offered at the AAP 1999 Annual Meeting to be held October 9-13 in Washington, DC. Please remember to bring this, your complimentary copy, to the meeting! A limited number of additional copies for your personal use or distribution to colleagues will be available at the meeting. Sections are arranged alphabetically. A Section's educational schedule appears first, followed by the complete text of the abstracts. Abstracts are identified by a number that appears in the left column of the schedule; this same number will identify the expanded text. Abstracts are numbered consecutively within each Section. Please note that the Section on Allergy has elected to print their schedule only. A great deal of time and effort has been volunteered by the Academy Section members to develop these programs and to write and coordinate the abstracts for this special supplement. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the contributions of of Kathleen Ozmeral (editor); Larry Mahoney, MD (Cardiology); Andrew Spooner, MD (Computers and Other Technologies); Niranjan Kissoon, MD (Critical Care); Daniel Isaacman, MD (Emergency Medicine), Flaura Winston, MD (Injury and Poison Prevention); Robert Cady, MD (Orthopaedics); Bruce Maddem, MD (Otolaryngology); William Engle, MD (Perinatal Pediatrics); Max Langham, MD (Surgery); Thomas Abramo, MD (Transport Medicine); and Craig Peters, MD (Urology). I believe that we have planned a full schedule of informative and educational Section activities at the Annual Meeting and hope that this abstract compendium/program guide will be useful to all attendees. As always, Section programs are open to all registrants, and you should feel free to move from one section meeting to another as topics of interest to you are presented throughout each day. Our sponsor for this project, Pasteur Merieux Connaught, concurs with the Academy that the continuing education of our members and allied health colleagues is of paramount importance. We appreciate the company's support in helping to bring this project to AAP members and PEDIATRICS subscribers. The abstracts will also be available on computer disk at the Annual Meeting at the Pasteur Merieux Connaught exhibit booth (Booth #809). We look forward to seeing you in Washington DC.
