This study identifies the main elements of knowledge management structures and examines their effects on knowledge management adequacy and subsequently on knowledge management effectiveness. A path model representing the antecedents of knowledge management structure adequacy and the consequence on knowledge management effectiveness is developed and tested empirically based on a survey. The resu...

In this report, criteria for adequacy measurement for objects in OO software are presented. Coverage criteria that address internal object structure have been developed. These criteria include coverage of direct and indirect inter-method ows in addition to internal method control ows. Results from the analysis of a commercial system developed in C++ support the theory that coverage analysis bas...

If we want to compare the explanatory and descriptive adequacy of the MP and OT, the original definitions by Chomsky (1964) are or little direct use. However, a relativized version of both notions can be defined, which can be used to express a number of parallels between the study of individual I-languages and the language faculty. In any version of explanatory and descriptive adequacy, the two...

OBJECTIVE General practices increasingly use telephone triage to manage patient flows. During triage, the urgency of the call and required type of care are determined. This study examined the organization and adequacy of telephone triage in general practices in the Netherlands. DESIGN Cross-sectional observational study using a web-based survey among practice assistants including questions on...

Hyperprolactinemia is a common endocrinal alteration in chronic renal failure, Several investigators examined the serum concentration of prolactin in patients with chronic renal failure and found it to be elevated. The aim of the study: is to evaluate the relation between adequacy of dialysis and levels of serum Prolactin in long term hemodialysis patients, in order to clarify if adequate dialy...

The Hybrid system (Ambler et al., 2002b), implemented within Isabelle/HOL, allows object logics to be represented using higher order abstract syntax (HOAS), and reasoned about using tactical theorem proving in general and principles of (co)induction in particular. The form of HOAS provided by Hybrid is essentially a lambda calculus with constants. Of fundamental interest is the form of the lamb...

BACKGROUND The achievement of dialysis adequacy targets in peritoneal dialysis (PD) is assessed by the calculation of the Kt/V and creatinine clearance (C(Cr)) obtained by collecting dialysate and urine, usually two or three times a year. Prescription decisions are based on such adequacy assessments, regardless of any variability in the single measurements. The aim of our study was to assess th...

We analyzed prenatal care (PN) provided at a unit of the Family Health Strategy Service in São Paulo, according to the indicators of the Program for the Humanization of Prenatal and Birth (PHPB). We compared adequacy of PN in terms of sociodemographic variables, procedures, examinations and maternal and perinatal outcomes. Cross-sectional study with data from records of 308 pregnant women enrol...
