Pemanfaatan Bahasa Alami Dalam Penelusuran Informasi Skripsi Melalui Digital Library

Daftar judul skripsi yang ada di web digilib.uad.ac.id belum digunakan secara optimal. Kesulitan menentukan topik serta pengelolaan data pada sistem yang belum memadai menjadi beberapa kendala mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan membangun pencarian informasi skripsi dengan antarmuka bahasa alami agar mudah dalam menulis kriteria pencarian tanpa harus terikat formulir pencarian. Penelitian ini menggunakan data skripsi untuk dikelola. Pengambilan data dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan Natural Language Processing. Masukan dalam bentuk kalimat bahasa alami digunakan untuk mencari data.  Proses Parsing dilakukan untuk memecah kalimat input dan mendeteksi kata kunci yang relevan. Pengembangan aturan produksi dalam Context Free Grammar diperlukan untuk menerjemahkan bahasa alami ke dalam query.  Kalimat yang melewati tahap parser diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa SQL. Sistem ini berhasil menampilkan informasi skripsi berupa daftar judul berdasarkan topik, metode, dan objek penelitian sesuai kalimat pencarian dengan nilai precision sebesar 89,3% dan recall sebesar 100%. Keberadaan model pencarian informasi dengan antarmuka bahasa alami dapat menjadi alternatif dalam proses pencarian informasi skripsi guna menyediakan sistem yang lebih fleksibel.  The use of the existing digital library has not been used optimally. Difficulties in determining topics and managing data in an inadequate system are among the obstacles for students. This study aims to build a thesis information search with a natural language interface so that it is easy to write search criteria without having to be tied to a search form. This research uses thesis data to be managed. Data were collected using the Natural Language Processing approach. Input in the form of natural language sentences is used to find data. The parsing process is carried out to break down the input sentence and detect relevant keywords. Development of production rules in Context Free Grammar is necessary to translate natural language into queries. Sentences that go through the parser stage are translated into SQL language. This system succeeds in displaying thesis information in the form of a list of titles based on topics, methods, and research objects according to the search sentence with a precision value of 89% and a recall of 100%. The existence of an information retrieval model with a natural language interface can be an alternative in the thesis information search process in order to provide a more flexible system.

Evaluating the effectiveness of Google, Parsijoo, Rismoon, and Yooz to retrieve Persian documents

PurposeThe purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of Google (as an international search engine) as well as of Parsijoo, Rismoon, and Yooz (as Persian search engines).Design/methodology/approachIn this research, Google search engine as an international search engine, and three local ones, Parsijoo, Rismoon, and Yooz, were selected for evaluation. Likewise, 32 subject headings were selected from the Persian Subject Headings List, and then simulated work tasks were assigned based on them. A total of 192 students from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad were asked to search for the information needed for simulated work tasks in the selected search engines, and then to copy the relevant website URLs in the search form.FindingsThe findings indicated that Google, Parsijoo, Rismoon, and Yooz had a significant difference in the precision, recall, and normalized discounted cumulative gain. There was also a significant difference in the effectiveness (average of precision, recall, and NDCG) of these four search engines in the retrieval of the Persian resources.Practical implicationsUsers using an efficient search engine will attain more relevant documents, and Google search engine was more efficient in retrieving the Persian resources. It is recommended to use Google as it has a more efficient search.Originality/valueIn this research, for the first time, Google has been compared with local Persian search engines considering the new approach (simulated work tasks).

Analysis of the questions of the Arabic language book for Grade 12 in Jordan in the light of Bloom's classification of cognitive objective: تحليل أسئلة كتاب اللغة العربية للصف الثاني عشر في الأردن في ضوء تصنيف بلوم للأهداف المعرفية

The objective of the current study is to analyze the content of the 12th grade Arabic language book questions in Jordan in the light of Bloom's classification of cognitive objectives in order to reveal the cognitive levels measured by the questions of the Arabic language book for Grade 12 in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the percentage obtained by each level Of these levels. The researcher used the descriptive method. The tool consisted of constructing a special card to analyze the questions of the 12th grade Arabic language book. The analysis form included information including the title of the book, the official issuing authority, the edition and the year of publication. The analysis form was divided into four sections. The first consisted of units, the second included the lessons, the third contained the number of questions as they appeared in the textbook, and the fourth included the levels of knowledge. The researcher analyzed the questions of the Arabic language subject of the study in the light of a special questionnaire that included the six levels of Bloom's classification (recall, understanding, comprehension, application, analysis, composition, evaluation). To ensure that the analysis was consistent, three arbitrators were chosen to perform the same analysis on the search form. The study found that 558 questions in the Arabic language book were the percentage of questions that measure information recall (25%). The questions that measure students' understanding of the content (36%), (9%), while the questions that require the student to obtain a new item were (5%), while the evaluation and judgment questions were (8%). Results A number of recommendations were made.

Typification of thirty six names of thirty five recognized taxa in Impatiens (Balsaminaceae), endemic to Western Ghats

The genus Impatiens Linnaeus (1753: 937) consists of about 1000 species, distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World as well as in the northern temperate regions (Mabberley 2008). In India there are about 215 species of Impatiens recorded so far, of which 142 species are endemic, and the diversity occurs in two regions, viz. the Eastern Himalayas and the Western Ghats. During systematic study of this genus in the Western Ghats region of India, I realized that it was necessary to typify 36 binomials of 35 recognized endemic species from the Western Ghats, because no specific herbarium sheet was cited as holotype in protologue of these names and also yet not typified (Vivekananthan et al. 1997, Rathakrishnan 2005, Bhaskar 2012). Here lectotypes are chosen for 35 names and a neotype for one name. The images of the lectotypes, isolectotypes, residual syntypes and neotype specimens at BR, E, G, K, M, MPU, NY and P are available online (http://www.br.fgov.be/research/collections/herbarium, http://elmer.rbge.org.uk/bgbase/vherb/bgbasevherb.php, http://www.ville-ge.ch/musinfo/bd/cjb/chg, http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/navigator.do, https://plants.jstor.org, http://www.collections.univ-montp2.fr/herbier-mpu-presentation/base-de-donnees-botanique-herbier-mpu, http://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/vh & https://science.mnhn.fr/institution/mnhn/search/form), while those at BSI, CAL and MH are not available online. Therefore, the images of selected lectotypes from MH are provided here.

DIABETIC PNEUMOPATHY

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a condition whose main characteristic is excessive blood glucose and, if not controlled, can cause chronic systemic complications such as, nephropathy, pulmonary dysfunction, retinopathy and vascular disorders, among others. Lung complications in diabetics, due to chronic hyperglycemia, have been studied more recently. Objective: This study aims to conduct a literature review on changes in lung function in diabetes mellitus, through an integrative bibliographical review. Method: Bibliographic survey, through an integrative literature review, to establish a correlation between glycemic control and lung function in diabetic subjects. The integrative review was made by searching the Medline international databases for review of manuscripts. Selection of these databases was based on the wide range of journals covered by each of them and our goal was to provide an overview of the scientific production devoted to the topic over the timeframe of analysis. The following inclusion criteria were considered during the review: use of the keywords “lung” OR “pneumopathy” OR “lung disease” MeSH “diabetes mellitus” entered into the search form, and availability of an abstract in English. Results: A total 12 scientific productions were selected by contain information about the pulmonary function alterations in diabetes. Conclusion: The main pulmonary function abnormalities found in diabetics are: lung volume reduction; lung elasticity reduced; capillary blood volume reduction; thickening of the capillary basement membrane; decrease in muscle strength; and paresis or bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis due to phrenic neuropathy.

Off-label prescriptions in diabetic foot

Prescription of a drug outside of the indications for which it was originally approved by regulators is internationally known as "off-label" prescription. We describe off-label treatments for the diabetic foot reported in international scientific literature. This is a qualitative and descriptive bibliographical review based on the results of a search of the Medline international database. The criteria for review were publication between January 1985 and November 2013, and the MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) keywords "off-label use" OR "off-label" OR "off-label prescribing" plus "diabetic foot" were input on the search form. Nine studies were selected that contained information about off-label treatments for the diabetic foot. We conclude that the practice of off-label prescribing has potential benefits. In some situations an off-label prescription is the only treatment available for patients, either because a more targeted drug does not exist, or because other methods of treatment are ineffective or unavailable due to patient intolerance.

The Protein Geometry Database: exploring protein conformational features

Have you ever seen a feature in your structure and asked, "I wonder how novel this is?" For instance a residue with a certain phi/psi angle, or an Asp residue followed by three further residues that make a tight turn centered on the side chain, or a peptide unit deviating 25° from planarity? If so, the Protein Geometry Database (PGD) is something you'll want to know about. The PGD web service (pgd.science.oregonstate.edu, Berkholz 2009a) manages access to a database containing the geometric details of 1.9 million amino acids. Working with the PGD involves two easy steps - using a search form to find a set of peptides matching your interests, and analyzing the geometric details of the set. The search form allows you to find examples of peptide fragments that have any specified combination of backbone conformations and sequence. Filtering can also be performed based on side chain conformations, or bond angles. You can also specify the quality of models included in the search. Once a set of peptides has been identified, their geometric properties can be analyzed on the web site. You can look at the averages and standard deviations for any bond length, bond angle, or conformational angle, or you can explore relationships between properties by displaying highly customizable plots. An option to export the search results allows you to perform any further analyses you might devise. We will show how the PGD has been used to develop a Conformation Dependent Library of main chain bond angle targets for crystallographic refinement (Berkholz 2009b), as well as to advance our understanding of peptide non-planarity, and of conformational preferences for pairs of residues and of cis-peptides. We will also describe how simple searches for outliers in bond lengths and angles are a powerful validation tool that can both uncovering errors in PDB models and can lead to the discovery of very interesting and real deviations from what is normally considered ideal geometry.
