Academic literature on the topic 'Computerised document'

AIM: The aim of this study was to show how to verify plagiarism of the paper written in Macedonian and translated in foreign language.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Original article “Ethics in Medical Research Involving Human Subjects”, written in Macedonian, was submitted as an assay-2 for the subject Ethics and published by Ilina Stefanovska, PhD candidate from the Iustinianus Primus Faculty of Law, Ss Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje (UKIM), Skopje, Republic of Macedonia in Fabruary, 2013. Suspected article for plagiarism was published by Prof. Dr. Gordana Panova from the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University Goce Delchev, Shtip, Republic of Macedonia in English with the identical title and identical content in International scientific on-line journal "SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGIES", Publisher "Union of Scientists - Stara Zagora".RESULTS: Original document (written in Macedonian) was translated with Google Translator; suspected article (published in English pdf file) was converted into Word document, and compared both documents with several programs for plagiarism detection. It was found that both documents are identical in 71%, 78% and 82%, respectively, depending on the computer program used for plagiarism detection. It was obvious that original paper was entirely plagiarised by Prof. Dr. Gordana Panova, including six references from the original paper.CONCLUSION: Plagiarism of the original papers written in Macedonian and translated in other languages can be verified after computerised translation in other languages. Later on, original and translated documents can be compared with available software for plagiarism detection.

Some functions of the lithotriptor, like the targeting of the stone, the generation and synchronisation of shock waves, the recognition of errors in the system and printing of the description of the treatment, couldn't be done without a computerised control. As the lithotriptor lacks an interface with a storage system for the treatments, we set up a specific database for ESWL which makes it possible to verify the result of previous treatments and to correlate the data of extracorporeal treatments with clinical data. Finally our programme generates an automatised report, producing a more complete document than that printed by the lithotriptor.

The rapid expansion occurring in World-Wide Web activity is beginning to make the concepts of ‘global hypermedia’ and ‘universal document readership’ realistic objectives of the new revolution in information technology. One consequence of this increase in usage is that educators and students are becoming more aware of the diversity of the knowledge base which can be accessed via the Internet. Although computerised databases and information services have long played a key role in bioinformatics these same resources can also be used to provide core materials for teaching and learning. The large datasets and arch ives th at have been compiled for biomedical research can be enhanced with the addition of a variety of multimedia elements (images. digital videos. animation etc.). The use of this digitally stored information in structured and self-directed learning environments is likely to increase as activity across World-Wide Web increases.

AbstractThe present study aimed to investigate the development of attention skills through middle childhood and to document developmental trajectories associated with tasks of increasing attentional demands. The sample comprised 57 children (aged 5–12 years) who were divided, according to age, into three groups. Performance differences between the groups were compared on two measures, each including four subtests of increasing complexity and tapping both speed and accuracy: CogState, a computerised measure, and The Contingency Naming Test, a paper-and-pencil test. We predicted that there would be: (1) improvements in performance with increasing age, (2) deceases in performance with increasing task complexity and (3) parallel increments in performance on computer-based and paper-and-pencil measures. The results indicated that there were rapid improvements in performance on both computer-based and paper-and-pencil measures between the ages of 5 and 8 years indicated by changes in both response speed and response accuracy. In contrast, more moderate improvements were identified between the ages of 9 to 12 years and occurred mainly in the domain of speed.

El “handoff” o “pase del paciente” se define como el intercambio de información clínica cuando un nuevo médico o equipo médico asume el manejo de un paciente, bien sea de forma oral o escrita. La transmisión de información (handoff) oral, es una fuente de errores de comunicación y debe mejorar para disminuir los errores y los eventos adversos. La naturaleza estática de los documentos escritos hace que rápidamente la información se desactualice aumentando el error. Los documentos de handoff electrónicos, integrados en la historia clínica se han asociado con mejoras. La impresión hace que la actualización de los datos a tiempo real sea prácticamente imposible, incrementando el riesgo de una información inexacta. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el tiempo en el que los datos clínicos del documento escrito se vuelven imprecisos, caracterizar el tipo de imprecisiones e identificar diferencias entre los turnos de día y de noche, así como entre servicios médicos y quirúrgicos. La hipótesis afirmaba que al final del turno de noche, la mayoría de los documentos de handoff contenían al menos un error, con potencial de producir daño. Se usó el término de “vida media”. Documentando estas imprecisiones, los autores esperaron que existiera la posibilidad de actualizar los datos en la historia clínica electrónica a tiempo real, con el objetivo de mejorar la seguridad del paciente. ABSTRACT Expiry of a handoff printed document The handoff is defined as the change of clinical information about patients for whom physicians are responsible for between doctors and medical teams, both printed and verbal. Medical errors related to poor communication remain unacceptably common. Verbal handoffs are known to be high-risk source of communication errors and it may be improved to reduce adverse events. The static nature of printed documents makes it likely that some of the information will quickly become inaccurate, increasing the potential for medical errors. Computerised handoff documents integrated with electronic health records have been associated with improvements. Printing makes real-time automatic updating impossible, and therefore, increases the potential for inaccurate information. The main goals of this study were to measure the average time to potential inaccuracy of a printed handoff, to determine the types of inaccuracy and to identify differences between day and night shifts, as well as surgical and non-surgical services. They hypothesized that by the end of an overnight call shift, most handoffs documents would contain at least one error, which had the potential to impact patient care. They used the term “half-life”. By documenting the inaccuracies which can be expected on printed handoff documents, the authors hope to achieve a shift toward reliance on the electronic health records on screen real, real-time, with the ultimate desired result of improved patient safety.

This paper examines the impact of ICT in professional practice in the South African construction industry. This is with the view that ICT utilization in professional practice has the potential to facilitate better decision-making ability and savings in operating costs, amongst others. The data for the study was derived from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data was obtained through the survey method, while the secondary data was obtained from the review of literature. The primary data for the study was collected through a structured questionnaire survey distributed to a sample of 37 professionals in the construction industry. The results revealed that architectural, engineering and quantity surveying functions have been largely computerised. However, data and document management is still done through the traditional way of manual filing. Therefore, because construction industry professionals are a rich source of information about ICT and its improvement within the industry, the study provide valuable insight into the current usage of ICT in construction professional practise firms, which thus reveals the level of ICT adaptation in South African CI. Hence, this thus shows that ICT surveys can be used to determine the number of users of these systems, identify the core impacts ICT has had on day to day activities.

In this digital world, everything including documents, notes is kept in digital form. The requirement of converting these digital documents into processed information is in demand. This process is called as Handwritten digit recognition (HDR). The digital scan document is processed and classified to identify the hand written words into digital text so that it can be used to keep it in the documents format means in computerized font so that everybody can read it properly. In this paper, it is discussed that classifiers like KNN, SVM, CNN are used for HDR. These classifiers are trained with some predefined dataset and then used to process any digital scan document into computer document format. The scanned document is passed through four different stages for recognition where image is preprocessed, segmented and then recognized by classifier. MNIST dataset is used for training purpose. Complete CNN classifier is discussed in this paper. It is found that CNN is very accurate for HDR but still there is a scope to improve the performance in terms of accuracy, complexity and timing.
