IMS LD supports the design of personalized learning by adapting activities and other process elements to personal characteristics. This paper presents a new idea to adjust activities and elements to group characteristics for supporting ‘groupalized’ or group-adapted learning. This may help to improve effectiveness and efficiency of group-based collaborative learning. Our approach to formalize a...

We present an extension to the HTN planning paradigm, which provides a more knowledge centred assessment of activities and ordering constraints. Based upon a knowledge-rich model, DART-Network planning applies mixed mode reasoning to determine the need for activities and ordering constraints within a plan. We describe a simple construction problem to demonstrate the limitations of existing HTN ...

Healthcare organisations are looking at strategies and activities to improve patient outcomes, beyond clinical interventions. Increasingly, health organisations are investing significant resources in leadership, management and team work training to optimise professional collaboration, shared decision-making and, by extension, high quality services. Embedded clinical aca...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of an abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM), measured using a pressure bio-feedback unit, on the activities of the hamstring, gluteus maximus, and erector spinae muscles during prone hip extension. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty healthy adult subjects (14 male, 16 female), were recruited. Subjects' lumbar lordosis and pelvic tilt angl...

The effect of locked nucleic acid (LNA) modification position upon representative DNA polymerase and exonuclease activities has been examined for potential use in primer extension genotyping applications. For the 3'-->5' exonuclease activities of four proofreading DNA polymerases (Vent, Pfu, Klenow fragment and T7 DNA polymerase) as well as exonuclease III, an LNA at the terminal (L-1) position...

Process modelling is the formal description of the activities undertaken by an organisation. By modelling such processes we can support and improve these activities. Taking a control system development project as an example, we describe how process modelling can be integrated into an EXPRESS based environment using the EXPRESS-P extension to EXPRESS. In order to capture some important aspects o...

The study assessed farmers’ perception of effectiveness of agricultural extension agents in Anambra State, Nigeria. The population of the study comprised all contact farmers and extension agents in Anambra State. Multi-stage, purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select 200 respondents comprising 160 farmers and 40 extension agents. Data for the study were collected throu...

Compartmentalised extension prohibits the uptake of new technology thereby inhibiting agricultural growth. Extension services aimed at increased agricultural growth should have a market-led and evidence-based pluralistic advisory system that is coordinated by the government’s Agricultural and Technical Services division in response to the needs of farmers. This study sought to assess extension ...
