background and objectives: spiritual intelligence is a kind of ultimate intelligence that shows the conceptual and valuable issues and to solve the problems associated with it. the foundation of individual beliefs can have important role in various fields especially in the promotion and provision of psychic health . thus, the aim of this study was to survey the rate of spiritual intelligence am...

introduction: emotional intelligence is a key element that determines the achievement and efficiency of a person so that 80% of the achievement is dependent on it. the current research was carried out to determine the correlation between emotional intelligence and evaluation score of the faculty members of kermanshah university of medical sciences (kums) in 2014.   methods: in this analytical-d...

From its inception, medical artificial intelligence has grappled with the problem of uncertainty. Early systems such as MYCIN [4] and INTERNIST [13] used an informal description of probabilistic knowledge, while more recent efforts [9,17] have taken a more formal approach to capturing the uncertainty. Formal methods provide precise and justifiable reasoning methods to support the conclusions th...

Nowadays there is a tendency of the growth of applied problems for the solution of which formal methods and computers are used. Naturally, there arise problems of correspondence between theory and practice, the key one being the assessment of the quality of the obtained results. The paper deals with questions of management of the applied problem solution. Three groups of problems have been cons...

This paper reports a case of the successful application of sociologic theories in the area of Distributed Artificial Intelligence. We argue in favour of a rather deep conceptual transfer of sociologic models: it is shown how analytical theories from the school of structural functionalism, aimed at explaining observed phenomena in human societies, can be put “upside down”, so as to come up with ...

This paper considers student modelling from the point of view of the formal techniques that are involved. It attempts to provide a theoretical, computational basis for student modelling which is psychologically neutral and independent of applications. It is derived mainly from various areas of theoretical artificial intelligence. Because of the intrinsic difficulty of the student modelling prob...
