background : learning in a clinical environment is an inseparable part of a training program in medical education. to evaluate the quality of training in a clinical environment, a comprehensive questionnaire which is adjusted for local purposes is essential. this study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of activities coaching context (acc)-questionnaire from the perspective...

We address the task of (blog) feed distillation: to find blogs that are principally devoted to a given topic. The task may be viewed as an association finding task, between topics and bloggers. Under this view, it resembles the expert finding task, for which a range of models have been proposed. We adopt two language modelingbased approaches to expert finding, and determine their effectiveness ...

BACKGROUND Physicians require specific communication skills, because the face-to-face contact with their patients is an important source of information. Although physicians who perform work disability assessments attend some communication-related training courses during their professional education, no specialised and evidence-based communication skills training course is available for them.

This paper introduces a practical e-learning system, identified as Knowledge Exchange E-learning System (abbr. KEES), for knowledge distribution in rural areas. Particularly, this paper is about providing a virtual teaching and learning environment for small holders in agriculture in those rural areas. E-learning is increasingly influencing the agricultural education (information and knowledge ...

For building design, computational intelligence systems use a knowledge base formed by means of neural network and fuzzy logic (neuro-fuzzy) techniques, from a building design database. The application of such a system to a building design task was preliminarily demonstrated earlier. The present research describes a systematic neural fuzzy modelling of data that forms a knowledge base in a hier...
