Representation Of Knowledge

Knowledge systems often have very sophisticated structures depicting cognitive andstructural entities. For instance, representation of knowledge in the form of a text involves thestructure of this text. This structure is represented by a hypertext, which is networks consisting oflinguistic objects, such as words, phrases and sentences, with diverse links connecting them.Current computational machines and automata such as Turing machines process information inthe form of symbol sequences. Here we discuss based the methods of structural machinesachieving higher flexibility and efficiency of information processing in comparison with regularmodels of computation. Being structurally universal abstract automata, structural machines allowworking directly with knowledge structures formed by knowledge objects and connectionsbetween them.

Efficient Information

Using grounded theory along with participant observation and interviews the authors explore how individuals in organizations process information. They build a model of human information processing which links the cognitivist-constructionist perspective to an algorithmic-heuristic continuum. They test this model using non-parametric procedures and find interesting results showing links to efficient information processing outcomes such as contributions to decision-making, knowledge-creation and innovation. They also identify some elements of best practice by efficient human information processing individuals whom they call the “information catalysts”.

Marketing Messages

Purpose Farmers’ markets have grown rapidly in recent years and at the same time consumers increasingly desire to eat healthfully and sustainably. This research aims to analyze the way consumers process information regarding local food claims such as sustainability and organics when shopping for local foods at farmers’ markets. Design/methodology/approach This research uses ethnographic methods that included interviews with 36 participants, more than 100 hours of participant observation and prolonged engagement over a two and half-year period. Findings The findings indicate that there are two dominant types of consumers at the farmers’ market, hedonistic and utilitarian consumers. Hedonistic consumers rely on heuristic cues such as aesthetics, their relationship with the farmer and other peripheral sources of information when making purchase decisions. Utilitarian consumers, by contrast, carefully analyze marketing messages using central route cues and tend to be more conscious of their purchase choices. Practical implications This study will help farmers more effectively position their marketing messages and help consumers be aware how they process information in this space. Originality/value Unlike previous studies of consumer behavior at farmers’ markets that primarily use survey methods, this study uses observational and ethnographic methods to capture in situ interactions in this complex buying context. Further, while much work has been done on broad concepts of local food and organic preferences, this study provides a more in-depth look at consumer information processing in the farmers’ market space that reflects a mixture of organic and non-organic food.

AbstractOver the last 50 years diagnostic testing has improved dramatically and we are now able to diagnose patients faster and more precisely than ever before. However, the incidence of diagnostic errors, particularly of common diseases, has remained relatively stable over time. In this paper, I argue that the intrinsic limitations of human information processing are crucial. The way people process information has not changed over the years and is the main cause of diagnostic error. To take a decisive step forward and substantially reduce the number of diagnostic errors in medicine, we need to create an environment which takes the intrinsic limitations of in human information processing into account.

This contribution reflects on the use of digital technologies for the teaching and learning of languages. We place our reflection in the paradigm of social co-construction of meaning and knowledge that requires the learner to be the actor of his/her learning. It is on this basis that we present an educational model that combines information processing, interaction and co-construction of knowledge objects in a sociointeractional context that determines the action of the learning person. A concrete example illustrates the theoretical model presented. We conclude our contribution with a presentation of some key skills that the student must develop to implement learning in the context of this model.

The General Theory of Information (GTI) tells us that information is represented, processed and communicated using physical structures. The physical universe is made up of structures combining matter and energy. According to GTI, “Information is related to knowledge as energy is related to matter.” GTI also provides tools to deal with transformation of information and knowledge. We present here, the application of these tools for the design of digital autopoietic machines with higher efficiency, resiliency and scalability than the information processing systems based on the Turing machines. We discuss the utilization of these machines for building autopoietic and cognitive applications in a multi-cloud infrastructure.

The problem of research is that there are differences between learners in processing in formation in general and there is variation at the learners level perform scrolling skill of the passes up and down by the volley ball .Therefore the researchers decided to conduct astudy through which identify the relationship between information processing and the skill of scrolling from the top and bottom by the volleyball. The researchers used the descriptive approach by themethod of interconnectivity .Asampleconsist of21 students from first staye in collage of physical education and sports science for Girls(university of Baghdad) and attest has been applied(process information and scroll up and down) on the research sample after the required statistical treatments , Anumber of conclusiow were reached. The most important one was that the pro cessing of the information is related to the per formance of the scrolling skill from the top and bottom of the volley ball in the sample of the research

A key aspect of biological evolution is the capacity of living systems to process information, coded in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and used to direct how the cell works. The overall picture that emerges today from fields such as developmental, synthetic, and systems biology indicates that information processing in cells occurs through a hierarchy of genes regulating the activity of other genes through complex metabolic networks. There is an implicit semiotic character in this way of dealing with information, based on functional molecules that act as signs to achieve self-regulation of the whole network. In contrast to cells, chemical systems are not thought of being able to process information, yet they must have preceded biological organisms, and evolved into them. Hence, there must have been prebiotic molecular assemblies that could somehow process information, in order to regulate their own constituent reactions and supramolecular organization processes. The purpose of this essay is then to reflect about the distinctive features of information in living and non-living matter, and on how the capacity of biological organisms for information processing was possibly rooted in a particular type of chemical systems (here referred to as autonomous chemical systems), which could self-sustain and reproduce through organizational closure of their molecular building blocks.
