The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the role of the psychiatric/community mental health nurse in the context of primary health care in which mental health is an integral part of the general health care system and in a specific socio-economic background. Nine (9) community mental health nurses who graduated from a local training program for community mental health nurses at po...

Shortcomings of qualitative simulation and of quantitative simulation motivate combining them to do simulations exhibiting strengths of both. The resulting class of techniques is called semi-quantitative simulation. One approach to semi-quantitative simulation is to use numeric intervals to represent incomplete quantitative information. In this research we demonstrate semiquantitative simulatio...

background: due to many physical and mental disorders that occur in multiple sclerosis patients, identifying the factors affecting coping based on the experiences of patients using qualitative study is essential to improve their quality of life. this study was conducted to explore the antecedents of coping with the disease in patients with multiple sclerosis. methods: this is a qualitative stud...

Software process simulation models hold out the promise of improving project planning and control. However, purely quantitative models require a very detailed understanding of the software process, i.e. process knowledge represented quantitatively. When such data is lacking, quantitative models impose severe constraints, restricting the model’s value. In contrast, qualitative models display all...

In this paper we describe the Spanish Lexical Sample task. This task was initially devised for evaluating the role of unlabeled examples in supervised and semi-supervised learning systems for WSD and it was coordinated with five other lexical sample tasks (Basque, Catalan, English, Italian, and Rumanian) in order to share part of the target words. Firstly, we describe the methodology followed t...

the present study has dealt with studying the coaching model in training of human resource based on grounded theory. this study has done on qualitative bases and has utilized grounded theory approach besides semi-structured interviews for data collecting. in this study, interview was conducted, by using purposive and chain sampling, 7 training experts who were familiar with coaching. this quali...

In this paper, we present the results of an investigation into methodologies and technical solutions for exposing the structured metadata contained within digital qualitative data, to make them more shareable and exploitable. In particular, we develop mechanisms for using Information Extraction (IE) technology to provide user-friendly tools for semi-automating the process of preparing qualitati...

We present an object-oriented semi-qualitative modeling language and a web-based simulator implementation . This language is used to develop physics based simulations in virtual environments . The associated simulator is a self-contained module . It produces, in parallel, numerical data for interactive visualization and qualitative data . The latter is available to any autonomous agents inhabit...
