Berglind, Lotta. "Användbarhetsexpertens roll som representant och medlare i systemutvecklingsprocesser." Thesis, University of Skövde, Department of Computer Science, 2003. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:his:diva-838.

Abstract:

I denna rapport talas det om användbarhetsexpertens roll som representant för användaren,medlare av termen användbarhet samt medlare mellan användaren och andra yrkesroller i en systemutvecklingsprocess. Denna roll har många gånger en tendens till att inte få tillräckligt med gehör av andra yrkesroller i utvecklingsprojekt. Det finns flera olika faktorer som kan bidra till detta. Vad som framkom i resultatet var en bekräftelse på att användbarhetsexpertens

roll är viktig i fråga om representering och medling. Vad gäller faktorn samarbete anser respondenterna att samarbetet för det mesta fungerar bra mellan dem och andra yrkesroller. Samarbete ses därmed inte som en faktor som påverkar gehöret för en användbarhetsexperts roll i systemutvecklingsprocesser. Respondenterna tycker däremot att de inte alltid får gehör för sin roll som användbarhetsexpert fast att de tycker att samarbetet med andra yrkesroller fungerar bra. En faktor som bidrar till

detta är den svårdefinierade termen användbarhet.

Abstract:
Medling är ett viktigt verktyg i verktygslådan för hantering av konflikter. Mycket av forskningen har fokuserat på externa aktörer som kommer från utanför konflikten och som är neutrala till konfliktparterna och sammanhanget, men interna aktörer som är partiska har mindre uppmärksamhet i medlingslitteraturen. Baserat på detta syftar studien till att förstå effekterna av olika typer av medlare, nämligen medling av extern-neutrala och interna-partiska medlare och effektivitetensom dessa medlare kan ha i fredsavtal. Baserat på detta är studiens forskningsfråga, Vilken medling är effektivaste för att nå ett hållbart fredsavtal i bräckliga stater, Inter-partisk eller Extern-neutral medling? För att svara på forskningsfrågan använder studien den kvalitativa metoden av fokuserad och strukturerad jämförelsemetod. Empirisk analys, som omfattar perioden 1991–1998, baserad på medlingsprocesserna i de två fallen av studien, nämligen södra Somalia och den självdeklarerade republiken Somaliland (norra Somalia) används. Studiens hypotes är att interna-partiska medlare är mer sannolikt att generera ett hållbart fredsavtal vilket bygger på förhandlingsteori där trovärdiga bärare av information kan förhindra informationsproblem och därmed skapa hållbar fred. Det empiriska resultatet av studien stödjer denna hypotes.

Abstract:

Syftet med min studie är att belysa och lyfta upp medlarens roll och försöka visa på vad det är för olika "verktyg" de använder sig av i rolluppbygganden. Hur sker rollutvecklingen för medlare i den praktiska verksamheten? De medlare som har intervjuats hade alla en förhållandevis lång erfarenhet av medling och hade under denna tid lärt sig vad som fungerar och inte. Data har insamlats genom att jag har intervjuat 3 medlare. Dessa har bearbetat utifrån fyra områden, intake - när ärendet kommer in, throughput - där medlingen görs, output - vad hände sedan och återkopplingen - till vem och varför, och hur de utformar sin roll. För medlarna i Sverige finns det relativt lite styrning och regler, detta innebär för medlarna att de kan utforma rollen och lösa uppgiften lite som de ville (inom vissa ramar, t e x lagstiftning på området). Rollutvecklingen för de medlare som har intervjuats handlade mycket om personlig involvering i yrket, Det var inte givet på förhand hur de skulle utforma sin roll. De var ibland tvungna att använda sig av sin tidigare yrkesroll, eller den roll de hade vid sidan om för att legitimera sig och få människor involverade. En del av rollutformningen visade sig vara att lära av misstag. De hade även upparbetat goda samarbeten med plis, socialtjänst och andra som hade med medling att göra Dessa samarbeten var de tvungna att hela tiden arbeta på så att inte medlingen kom i skymundan. Detta var också ett sätt för dom att informera om vad medling var, vilka som passade för medling och vad medling kunde resultera i.

Medlare- Är du kompetent, rättrådig samt opartisk?

En kvalitativ studie kring lekmannamedlare respektive tjänstemedlare

Sammanfattning

Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka tre regionsamordnares erfarenheter av funktionen lekmannamedlare och tjänstemedlare kring deras medlingsuppdrag. Uppsatsens fråge- ställningar var följande: – Lever lekmannamedlaren respektive tjänstemedlaren upp till begreppen, kompetent, rättrådig samt opartisk? Den tredje frågeställningen är – Vad är den specifika skillnaden mellan lekmannamedlare respektive tjänstemedlare kring ett medlingsuppdrag? Empirin består av kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer med tre region- samordnare. Dessa ansvarar för olika medlingsverksamheter. En ansvarar för lekmannamedlare, en verksamhet består av tjänstemedlare samt den tredje regionsamordnaren ansvarar över både lekmannamedlare och tjänstemedlare. Detta urval av respondenter valdes för att inte ett visst perspektiv skulle sätta sin prägel på studien. Tolkningsramen består av de tre begreppen kompetent, rättrådig samt opartisk, därtill tidigare forskning och teorier. Resultatet indikerar att lekmannamedlaren är mer opartisk än tjänstemedlaren. Resultatet visar vidare att den specifika skillnaden är att en tjänstemedlare som regel är anställd av socialtjänsten. Tjänstemedlaren är mer styrd av formella lagar och regler, en lekman upplevs vara friare.

Abstract:
The use of standards has become widespread in the field of digital archiving. The most notable of these is the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model. In the development and usage of such standards both researchers and practitioners have been similarly focused on the technical dimension of standards, prioritizing efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Less attention has been paid to study the implementation of standards from a social perspective. Based on the reflexive methodology, suggested by Mats Alvesson and Kaj Sköldberg, and adopting an actor-network theory (ANT) approach, this study attempted to understand the role played by a technological artifact such as the OAIS standard in the specific context of a Swedish e-archive known as R7e-arkiv. Understanding the social in terms of association and focusing on key ANT concepts such as actors, mediators, intermediaries, network and translation the study found that the role played by the OAIS, was that of a silent intermediary until recent developments in the e-archive made it acquire the momentary role of mediator, giving it the capabilities of acting upon the actor-network. The discussion outlines different conceptions of standards through ANT approaches. Among these, the view of the OAIS as a black box and the understanding of compliancy as performativity could serve as interesting starting points for further inquiries concerning the use of standards in digital archiving.
Användandet av standarder har blivit allt vanligare inom digital arkivhantering. En framstående standard är Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Model. Vad det gäller utveckling och användning av sådana standarder har tonvikten, både för yrkesverksamma arkivarier och forskare, legat på standardens tekniska dimension. Effektivitet och kostnadseffektivitet har varit det viktigaste. Lite uppmärksamhet har däremot ägnats åt hur standarder implementerats från ett socialt perspektiv. Denna uppsats har med utgångspunkt i reflexiv metod av Mats Alvesson och Kaj Sköldberg, samt aktör-nätverksteori undersökt vilken roll en teknologisk artefakt som OAIS spelar för det svenska e-arkivet R7e-arkiv. Genom att förstå det sociala i termer av associationer och med hjälp av aktör-nätverksteoretiska begrepp som aktör, medlare, mellanhand, nätverk och översättningar fann undersökningen att OAIS sedan R7e-arkivs grundande har haft rollen av en tyst mellanhand. Senare utvecklingar och förändringar i e-arkivet har dock lett till standarden att uppta rollen av medlare, vilket gett den möjligheten att agera och göra skillnad på aktör-nätverket. Uppsatsens diskussion erbjuder alternativa sätt att förstå standarder utifrån ett ANT-perspektiv. Bland dessa perspektiv framstår två som möjliga utgångspunkter för vidare forskning: OAIS förstått som svart låda samt följsamhet av standarder förstått i termer av performativitet.

Full text
Abstract:
Hållbarhet är ett högaktuellt och omdebatterat ämne i dagens samhälle. Detta sätter stor press på företag att ta ansvar socialt, ekonomiskt och miljömässigt vilket relaterar till begreppet Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR. Det ökade fokuset på hållbarhetsfrågor innebär att företagen förväntas kommunicera sitt CSR-arbete på ett transparent sätt för att ge sina intressenter insyn i verksamheten, något som kan vara problematiskt på grund av ämnets komplexitet. Det företaget kommunicerar internt och externt bidrar till intressenternas bild av företaget och dess varumärke. Det finns en omfattande mängd forskning kring hållbarhet och CSR, men få studier har berört hur dessa frågor är kopplade till återförsäljare. Återförsäljare agerar mellanhand mellan varumärken och kund och möter utmaningar i att de samtidigt ska representera en rad olika varumärken. Kunder blir allt mer medvetna om hållbarhetsfrågor och försäljaren förväntas leva upp till kundernas informationsbehov. Butikssäljare förväntas besitta kunskap om de varumärken de representerar, vilket gör butikssäljare hos återförsäljare extra intressanta att studera. De olika intressenternas varierande förväntningar och krav är en stor utmaning för företag. Detta indikerar på vikten av en anpassad kommunikation av företagets hållbarhetsfilosofi. I studiens teoretiska referensram presenteras tidigare forskning inom dessa områden. Den ovan nämnda problemdiskussionen har mynnat ut i studiens frågeställning: Vilken roll har butikssäljaren som medlare av ett varumärkes hållbarhetsfilosofi? I denna kvalitativa studie har vi genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med elva respondenter undersökt kommunikationen mellan ett varumärke och dess återförsäljare. Vidare har även kopplingen mellan varumärkesidentitet och varumärkesimage undersökts för att se huruvida den påverkar kommunikationen ut till slutkund. Studien har applicerats på Houdini och ett antal av dess återförsäljare. Houdini är ett företag som tillverkar och säljer outdoorprodukter och företaget har ett stort hållbarhetsfokus. I studien har ett antal faktorer kunnat identifieras som kan påverka hur väl ett varumärkes hållbarhetsfilosofi når ut till kunden via butikssäljaren hos ett varumärkes återförsäljare. Studiens resultat visar att försäljarens roll som medlare av ett varumärkes hållbarhetsfilosofi påverkas av ett antal faktorer. Några av dessa faktorer är hur väl kommunikationen fungerar, försäljarens personliga intresse i CSR- och hållbarhetsfrågor, försäljarens kunskap i dessa frågor, försäljarens agerande i mötet med kunden samt kundernas varierande intresse och preferenser. Studien visar även att försäljaren spelar en viktig roll i kommunikationen då det i studien framkommit att försäljaren i många fall direkt påverkar kundens köpbeslut.

Abstract:
Den här studien riktar fokus mot emotioner inom medling. Det övergripande syftet har varit att öka kunskapen om medlares strategier för att hantera konfliktparters emotioner, vilket har undersökts genom intervjumetodik. Studien belyser fyra huvudteman som innehåller ett flertal olika strategier med respondenternas tillhörande resonemang. Medlaren har makten och konfliktparterna har makten är två huvudteman som består av strategier som kontrasterar mot varandra. Huvudtemana stödja och klargöra respektive stämning innehåller ytterligare strategier för att hantera konfliktparters emotioner. Strategierna som åskådliggörs omgärdas av både kritik och stöd inom tidigare forskning och därutöver belyses strategier och resonemang som inte är i fokus inom aktuell forskning kring medling och emotioner. Studien pekar på tendenser som kan användas för att utveckla, korrigera och komplettera befintliga teorier och modeller, även om behovet av liknande studier är stort. Dessutom medvetandegörs olika strategier som har god möjlighet att tillämpas bland medlingspraktiker.
This dissertation focuses on emotions in mediation with the overall aim to increase knowledge about mediation strategies for dealing with disputants’ emotions, studied through interview methodology. The study illuminates four major themes containing different strategies accompanied by the respondents’ reasoning. The mediator has power and the disputants have power are themes which include strategies that contrast each other. The themes support and clarify, and atmosphere, contain additional strategies for handling disputants’ emotions. The presented strategies are surrounded by both criticism and support within prior research and moreover the study highlights strategies that are not in focus within current research regarding mediation and emotions. The study points out tendencies that can be used to develop, adjust and complement existing theories and models, even though there is a great need for similar studies. In addition, the study puts light on strategies that have good potential to be used by mediators in practice.

Abstract Title: The Mediator’s Qualities - How are the negotiating parties effected by the mediator's persistence and patience? Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree Author: Johanna Strandberg and Emma Hjalmarsson Supervisor: Jens Eklinder Frick and Jonas Molin Date: May 2015 Aim: Our aim is to create a greater understanding of the negotiating parties' experience of the mediator's persistence and patience. Method: We have chosen a deductive approach that we have based our empirical data on already existing research. Theoretical material has been gathered through literature, theses and scientific articles. With the background to our aim, we have chosen to use a qualitative approach where we have interviewed ten people who have been in contact with a real estate agent the last 24 months. The empirical data was then analysed and discussed in our analysis and conclusion. Result & Conclusions: We have found that the mediator's persistence and patience affect negotiating partners in various ways. Patient is seen as a positive quality while persistence can be perceived as negative. Our survey shows that when persistence and patience are combined, the result is successful. Our survey also showed that the main characteristics of the mediator were not at all persistence and patience, which earlier research has shown, but instead it was nice, impartial and knowledgeable. Suggestions for further research: What we think would be interesting for further research is to investigate the mediator's perspective because we only looked at the negotiating parties' perspective. We would encourage further research on qualities in general and also on the specific persistence and patience because we fount that it was a limited amount of research based on these qualities. Contribution of the thesis: The contribution of this study is that it has created a larger understanding for the characteristics that negotiation parties perceive as important for a real estate agent. This can be beneficial for real estate agents to know what properties the parties prefer and how they should act in their efforts to make the parties satisfied. Key words: Negotiation, mediation, characteristics, persistence, patience.

Abstract:
I denna litteraturstudie har befintlig forskning kring medling vid brott för unga gärningspersoner och deras offer sammanställts. Eftersom metoden används i allt mindre omfattning trots att medling är en lagstadgad kommunal skyldighet var vårt syfte med studien att undersöka huruvida lagstiftarens intentioner med metoden om att gynna bägge parter uppfylls, och i sådant fall på vilket sätt. Arton artiklar har genom en systematisk litteratursökning valts ut och presenterats i tematisk form och därefter analyserats ur två teoretiska perspektiv. Resultatet visar att medling på det stora hela uppfyller lagstiftarens intentioner och är ett fredligt forum där individer genom samtal och insikter ges möjlighet till ansvar och läkning, samt att alienation i samhället reduceras. Problem kan uppstå om medling sker ofrivilligt eller genom påtryckning, vilket underminerar möjligheten till insikt. Resultatet påvisar bland annat vikten av socialtjänstens/medlarens kompetens och möjlighet till utbildning och handledning som skulle kunna kvalitetshöjas genom en övergripande statlig samordnare.
Title: Victim–offender mediation, a forgotten solution for juvenile delinquency? In this integrative literature study, existing research on mediation in crimes for young offenders and their victims has been compiled. As the method of mediation is used to a lesser extent in Sweden, despite the fact that it is a statutory municipal obligation, our purpose of the study was to investigate whether the legislator's intentions with the method of benefiting both parties were met and, if so, in what way. Eighteen articles have been selected and presented in a thematic form by a systematic literature search and subsequently analyzed from two theoretical perspectives. The result shows that mediation broadly complies with the legislator's intentions and is a peaceful forum where young offenders and their victims through dialogue are given the opportunity to reach insights which can lead to liberation for both parties. Problems can occur if mediation occurs inadvertently or by pressure as it undermines the possibility of insight. The results show the importance of education for and supervision of the mediators/the social services which could be provided by a comprehensive government coordinator.

Abstract:
Administration är något alla ägnar tid åt både till vardags och i arbetet. Denna studie behandlar administrationen inom arbetslivet vid ett svenskt universitet. Debattartiklar och forskning visar på en spricka mellan kärnverksamheten och administrationen i diskussionen om universitetens uppdrag, roll och styrning. Administrationen ses som antitesen till akademin, men vad är administration och vad är dess funktion i styrningen? Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur administrativa chefer ser på sin roll i verksamheten och om administrationen fått en mer framträdande roll i styrningen. Studien tillämpar både det teoretiska och metodologiska förhållningssättet i Bruno Latours aktör-nätverksansats. Studien baseras på fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med administrativa chefer situerade på institutioner vid ett svenskt universitet. Resultatet visar hur institutionerna drivs som företag, de är producerande verksamheter som i hög grad finansieras av externa bidrag. Dessa finansiella aktörer ställer krav varpå styrningen inte bara återfinns inom universitetet utan också utanför. De administrativa cheferna rör sig i gränslandet mellan institutionen och det omgivande samhället men också mellan akademin och den centralt styrande förvaltningen och det är här deras roll som ”förmedlare” och ”medlare” blir tydlig. Genom att de översätter och anpassar handlingar och processer till mottagaren knyts aktörerna samman. Funktionen och rollen som ”support staff” gentemot kärnverksamheten är klart uttalad, däremot är de ytterst beslutsfattande i sin roll. Studien visar på fyra faktorer som inneburit att administrationen fått en mer framträdande roll och därmed en större påverkan på styrningen. Dessa faktorer är decentralisering, samhällsutveckling, teknisk utveckling och specialisering. Reformerna som legat till grund för organisationsförändringarna har medfört ett större ansvarsområde och utvecklingen mot ett granskning- och administrationssamhälle där regelverk, reviderbarhet och kontroll fått en allt större betydelse har inneburit ett ökat inflytande över verksamheten. Den tekniska utvecklingen skapar nya möjligheter och en ökad kapacitet. All denna utveckling har inneburit att nya administrativa specialistroller har skapats.

Abstract:
Victim offender mediation is practiced to less extent in Sweden despite the method being a statutory municipal obligation. Recommendations from the existing research is to investigate the identified problems of mediation. In the first part of this qualitative study an integrative literature study has been applied to existing research on the experiences of professional mediators. The second part of the study is conducted through interviews with politicians with emphasis on the fact that a statutory municipal method is used to less extent while the nation is calling for crime prevention. The results are subsequently analyzed from organizational theory and new public management theory. The results show that there are uncertainties about the mediator's position in the legal system, indicating a discrepancy between the legislature´s intention and the social regulation and the practical activities, thus indicating existing exclusion processes within the mediation system. The results of the study also show that the legislation needs to be modified as to meet the need of social work with youth offenders. The increased debate regarding juvenile delinquency and the demand of punitive policies has created a polarization in society where the attitudes and knowledge of victim offender mediation as a method are disparate thus creating the paradox of calling out for new methods contrary using existing ones that are evaluated, implemented and legislated, such as victim offender mediation.

Abstract:

Denna undersökning bygger på lärares attityder till konfliktsituationer och deras föreställningar om hur de agerar vid dessa. Det vi i vår undersökning eftersöker är dels om lärarnas agerande skiljer sig mellan år 1 och år 6 och dels om deras utsagor tyder på en bakomliggande teoretisk kunskap. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ ansats görs åtta intervjuer med behöriga lärare, fyra verksamma i år 1 och fyra verksamma i år 6. Analysen av det insamlade materialet visar att varje lärare har skilda sätt att se på konflikter och majoriteten anser att de både har positiva och negativa aspekter. När det gäller sättet att hantera konflikter har vi funnit att en gemensam grundmodell används. Dock har alla lärare sina egna konflikthanteringsstrategier som de använder beroende på situation och ålder på barnen. Trots att lärarna säger sig ha ytterst lite utbildningen om konflikter och konflikthantering tyder deras utsagor på en bakomliggande teoretisk kunskap.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Brottsmedling i brottsmål som involverar unga lagöverträdare är en viktig del av rättsväsendet och av socialt arbete. Medlingen, som är en del av filosofin reparativ rättvisa ämnar vara till nytta för både gärningsman och offer. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka huvudteman som går att identifiera i tidigare forskning inom ämnet. Metod: En scoping review version litteraturstudie med tematisk analys användes som metod för att svara på syftet. Sökningar utfördes i databasen Primo. Tio studier valdes ut. De valda artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades och analyserades enligt teman. Resultat: Intresset bland brottsoffer för att delta i medling är stort och medlingen kan vara en mycket viktig del i offrets rehabiliteringsprocess. Många brottsoffer har positiva upplevelser av medlingsförfarandet och dess effekter, men upplever även besvikelse på processen och dess resultat är vanligt förekommande hos deltagande brottsoffer. Att få en ursäkt av sin gärningsman är för merparten av brottsoffren som deltar i medling mycket viktigt. Ursäkten är även viktig för gärningsmannen och förhoppningar om förlåtelse från sitt offer är vanligt bland gärningsmännen. Förlåtelse är tillsammans med andra aspekter påverkande på huruvida medlingsprocessen skapar minskad på återfallsförbrytelse för dessa gärningsmän. Medlaren har en mycket viktig roll i medlingsprocessen och påverkar alla aspekter av hur den fortskrider samt vad den resulterar i. Slutsats: Medlingsprocessen är viktig för de individer som erbjuds att delta och har potential att påverka ett brottsoffers rehabilitering samt en gärningsmans framtida sociala beteende och kriminella bana.
Background: Victim offender mediation in criminal cases involving youth offenders is an important part of the judiciary and of social work. Mediation, which is part of the philosophy of reparative justice, intends to benefit both the perpetrator and the victim. It also strives to promote recidivism and prosocial behavior of the perpetrator. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate which main themes can be identified in previous research on the subject. Method: A scoping review approach of literature study with applied thematic analysis was used as a method to answer the purpose. Searches were performed in the database Primo. Ten studies were selected. The selected articles were quality reviewed and analyzed according to the themes. Result: The interest among crime victims in participating in mediation is large and mediation can be a very important part of the victim's rehabilitation process. Many victims have positive experiences of the mediation process and its effects, but also experience of disappointment in the process and its results are common among the victims. Receiving an apology from your perpetrator is very important for most victims who participate in mediation. The apology is also important to the perpetrator and hope of forgiveness from one’s victim is common among the perpetrators. Forgiveness, together with other aspects, affects whether the mediation process creates a reduction in recidivism for these perpetrators. The mediator has a very important role in the mediation process and affects all aspects of how it progresses and what it results in. Conclusion: The mediation process is important for the individuals who participate and has the potential to influence a victim's rehabilitation and a perpetrator's future social behavior and criminal path.

Hannigan, Gale G. "MEDLINE Metric: A method to assess medical students' MEDLINE search effectiveness." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2000. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2526/.

Full text
Abstract:
Medical educators advocate the need for medical students to acquire information management skills, including the ability to search the MEDLINE database. There has been no published validated method available to use for assessing medical students' MEDLINE information retrieval skills. This research proposes and evaluates a method, designed as the MEDLINE Metric, for assessing medical students' search skills. MEDLINE Metric consists of: (a) the development, by experts, of realistic clinical scenarios that include highly constructed search questions designed to test defined search skills; (b) timed tasks (searches) completed by subjects; (c) the evaluation of search results; and (d) instructive feedback. A goal is to offer medical educators a valid, reliable, and feasible way to judge mastery of information searching skill by measuring results (search retrieval) rather than process (search behavior) or cognition (knowledge about searching). Following a documented procedure for test development, search specialists and medical content experts formulated six clinical search scenarios and questions. One hundred and forty-five subjects completed the six-item test under timed conditions. Subjects represented a wide range of MEDLINE search expertise. One hundred twenty complete cases were used, representing 53 second-year medical students (44%), 47 fourth-year medical students (39%), and 20 medical librarians (17%). Data related to educational level, search training, search experience, confidence in retrieval, difficulty of search, and score were analyzed. Evidence supporting the validity of the method includes the agreement by experts about the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully retrieve information relevant to a clinical question from the MEDLINE database. Also, the test discriminated among different performance levels. There were statistically significant, positive relationships between test score and level of education, self-reported previous MEDLINE training, and self-reported previous search experience. The findings from this study suggest that MEDLINE Metric is a valid method for constructing and administering a performance-based test to identify mastery in searching the MEDLINE database. The test's reliability needs to be established.

Abstract:
El presente trabajo propone realizar una consultoría empresarial a MEDLIFE, una organización no gubernamental estadounidense sin fines de lucro (en delante la ONG), que inició sus operaciones en el año 2004, brindando apoyo a comunidades necesitadas en los ámbitos médico, educativo y de desarrollo, y que opera a nivel nacional e internacional, siendo el Perú, el principal país beneficiario de sus actividades. La ONG destaca por la originalidad de su propuesta que consiste en la venta de paquetes turísticos; que representan los servicios de ayuda; a sus clientes/voluntarios, y a través de los cuales genera la mayor parte de su financiamiento. La consultoría realizó un análisis de su situación general y contexto, apoyándose en herramientas como los análisis FODA, PESTE, AMOFHIT, el análisis de la Matriz VESTER y el Diagrama de la Espina de Ishikawa, para a través de los mismos, obtener un diagnóstico de la organización que nos permitió identificar los problemas que esta enfrenta y definir los problemas claves de la misma: la no diversificación de sus ingresos y su bajo posicionamiento de marca en el mercado peruano. Finalmente y sobre la base de los problemas claves identificados, se hizo una encuesta a nivel de empresas formales, encontrándose un amplio rango que iba desde el 20% hasta el 60% de participación (dependiendo de su sector) de estas, participando en proyectos de responsabilidad social, a los que dedican hasta un 10% de sus ingresos, lo que se tomó en cuenta para proponer y evaluar diversas alternativas de solución que incluyen el desarrollo de una cartera de productos, la promoción de esta cartera a dichos clientes potenciales, la exposición a través de la participación en ferias empresariales y estudiantiles, el contratar a un relacionista público y la conformación de un equipo multidisciplinario, alternativa esta última que se consideró como la más adecuada, y por la que se presentó un plan de implementación junto a sus respectivos resultados esperados para así ayudar a la ONG a optimizar sus dinámicas internas y externas, y a través de ello, lograr alcanzar su visión y misión en concordancia con sus principios y valores. Palabras Clave: ONG, consultoría empresarial, responsabilidad social empresarial, modernización organizacional, cambio organizacional, entorno social, dinámicas internas y externas de la ONG.
The present work proposes to carry out a business consultancy to MEDLIFE, an American, non-profit, non-governmental organization (hereinafter the NGO), which began operations in 2004, providing support to communities in need in the medical, educational and development fields, and that operates at national and international level, being Peru, the main beneficiary of its activities. The NGO stands out for the originality of its proposal, which consists in the sale of tourist packages; which represent its help services; to its clients/volunteers, and through which it generates most of its funding. The consultancy carried out an analysis of its general situation and context, relying on tools such as the SWOT, PESTE, AMOFHIT analyses, the VESTER Matrix analysis and the Ishikawa Spine Diagram, to obtain a diagnosis of the organization that allowed us to identify the problems it faces and define their key problems: the non-diversification of its income and its low brand positioning in the Peruvian market. Finally, and based on the key problems identified, a survey was conducted at the level of formal companies, finding a wide range from 20% to 60% (depending of their industry) of them participating in social responsibility projects, to which they dedicate up to the 10% of their income, situation taken into account to propose and evaluate various solution alternatives, that include the development of a product portfolio, its promotion to potential clients, the exposure through the participation in business and student fairs, the hiring of a public relations officer, and the creation of a multidisciplinary team, proposing the latter alternative which was considered the most appropriate, and for which an implementation plan was presented along with its expected results in order to help the NGO to optimize its internal and external dynamics, and through this, achieve its Vision and Mission in accordance with its principles and values.

Abstract:
Thesis (M.Sc. (Plant Production)) -- University of Limpopo, 2014
Wild medlar (Vangueria infausta subsp. infausta) is a popular indigenous fruit available and consumed by rural communities in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Inadequate post-harvest practices in indigenous fruit plants including V. infausta fruit forms major constrains in expanding their production. There is scanty information documented on neither objective nor subjective harvesting indices of indigenous fruit plants consumed by locals in sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of harvesting time on physico-chemical properties and selected nutritional composition of V. infausta fruit. Fruits were harvested twice, where two harvesting times were regarded as treatments and each tree as replication. The reduction for fruit weight, sugar content and sugar/acid ratio was highly significant (P ≤ 0.05), whereas for average fruit diameter, seed weight, acid ratio and pH content this may imply that the listed parameters are treatment which was non-significant (P ≤ 0.05). The treatment reduced P, K, Mn and Fe by 33%, 18%, 3% and 7%, respectively. On the other hand, treatments had no effect on N and Ca. The reduction of phosphorus was highly significant (P ≤ 0.05), whereas for N, K, Ca, Mn and Fe treatment impact was non-significant (P ≤ 0.05). Similarly, the treatment consistently reduced moisture content and increased dry matter and crude protein of V. infausta by 76%, 300% and 7%, respectively. The reduction of moisture content, increase in dry matter was highly significant (P ≤ 0.05), whereas crude protein treatment impact was non-significant (P ≤ 0.05). The data indicated that the best time to harvest V. infausta fruit was during January when fruits were cosmetically appealing and not wrinkled. This study demonstrated that there was less variation in some measured objective harvesting indices of V. infausta fruit harvested at two harvesting time. More work would be required to do physico-chemical properties and selected mineral elements analysis from wide growth habitat for conclusive recommendations.

Abstract:
Die Studie wird in fünf Teile unterteilt: Das erste Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit Patentanmeldungen und geförderten Patenten im USPTO, WIPO, und EPO. In diesem Kapitel wird die Korrelation zwischen dem BIP und der länderspezifischen Patentanzahl analysiert. Das zweite Kapitel gibt einen Überblick über die Literatur über Patente in MEDLINE. In diesem Kapitel wird eine szientometrische Analyse durchgeführt, damit die Entwicklung der Patentliteratur in MEDLINE über den Zeitraum von 1965 bis 2005 quantitativ gemessen werden kann. Das dritte Kapitel befasst sich mit der Literatur über Patente im SCI. In diesem Kapitel werden alle Dokumente, die vom SCI über den Zeitraum 1965 bis 2005 als “Patents“ indexiert wurden, unter die Lupe genommen. Das vierte Kapitel analysiert die Patenten, die im SCI zitiert werden. Das fünfte Kapitel analysiert die Anzahl der Literaturhinweise (Referenzen) pro Veröffentlichung im SCI über den Zeitraum 1970-2005. In diesem Hinblick wurde eine Gesamtzahl von 10,000 Dokumenten pro Jahr ausgesucht sowie der Bedeutungswert von Nennungen pro Zeitschrift berechnet. Die Analyse der Daten ergab: Die USA sind das führende Land bezüglich der Erstellung und der Zulassung von Patenten, gleichermaßen gefolgt von Japan und Deutschland. Die Halbwertszeit der Zitierung von Patenten beträgt seit 1994 konstant 8,1 Jahre. Das ist eine 41% längere Zitierungsrate gegenüber den allgemeinen wissenschaftlichen Dokumenten im SCI. Es gibt eine lineare Korrelation zwischen der Zahl von Literaturhinweisen (Referenzen) in einem Journal, wie sie im SCI erfasst sind, und der Wahrscheinlichkeit zitiert zu werden. Die Anzahl der Literaturhinweise (Referenzen) pro Veröffentlichung zwischen 1970 und 2005 im SCI ist ständig angestiegen. Die Selbstzitation von Zeitschriften bei einer steigenden Zahl von Verweisen beeinflusst die Steigerung des Impact Factor im SCI. Die Leitartikelpolitik der Sprachen wurde in der MEDLINE und im SCI geändert.
This study is divided into five sections. The first section consists of patent applications and granted patents issued by USPTO, WIPO), and EPO. In this section the relationship between the GDP and country’s patent quantity is analysed. The second section analysis the patent literature in MEDLINE. In this section a scientometric analysis is performed to assess the quantitative trend of patent literature in MEDLINE throughout 1965-2005. The third section analysis the patent literature in the SCI. In this section all documents indexed as a topic of “patents” in the SCI throughout 1965-2005 are analysed. The fourth section analysis the citations to the patent documents indexed in the SCI, and illustrate the average number of cited references per paper for patent citing documents. The fifth section analysis the references per paper in the SCI through 1970-2005. The Analyses of data showed: The USA is the leading country filing and granting patents followed by Japan and Germany respectively. The half-life of citations to the patent-documents is 41% higher than the half-life of citations to the general scientific documents in the SCI. The number of references per paper from 1970 to 2005 has steadily increased. The rough constant percentage of self-citation of journals and the growing increase of references per paper led to the absolute growing number of self-citations and to the increase of the Impact Factor of the citing journals in the SCI. The editorial policy of languages is being changed in MEDLINE and in the SCI. The consideration of policy makers in these databases have been focused on the literature of science in English. There was a tendency in the last decades towards collaboration in scientific publishing with American authors that can be observed in the SCI with authors from different countries.

Abstract:
Background: The number of people seeking asylum in Sweden reached a record level by 2015. Inequalities in the healthcare of migrants can lead to poor health outcomes and an unsatisfactory health meeting. Language translation is considered the minimum that should be offered to ensure the care recipients access to a good, safe and satisfactory care. Culture also has an impact on the recipient's experience of healthcare and consists of much that is unconscious and constantly changing in interaction with the individual's lived experience. Efforts to bridge the gap between migrant healthcare recipients and healthcare providers whom usually belong to a majority population, include the application of culturally competent care and strategies for "culture brokering". These methods do not however consider the lack of insight into the care recipient's cultural frame of reference. An Intercultural Mediator (IM) is themselves a migrant who, based on common denominators such as language, gender and shared experience of being immigrant can act as an intermediary or bridge builder during the healthcare meeting. Mediation can be used to highlight the care recipient's lifeworld story and promote a person-centered care that is not precluded by pre-defined opinions and stereotypes concerning the impact of culture, but instead addresses the person's vulnerability, resources and personal abilities. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate IM's specific role and how the IM can contribute to a more person-centered care in the context of the healthcare meeting of short duration within in-patient settings. Method: The study is based on ethnography conducted through participatory observation, informal dialogue at a healthcare clinic and hospital in Malta. Results: The results are based on four categories describing IM's role in the creation of person-centered care for migrant care recipients; Being a fellow human, creating a bridge between care recipients and care providers, being a part of the team and balancing power situations and creating cultural awareness. Conclusions: An IM is an important addition to healthcare agencies. IM utilizes the dyadic conversation preceding the healthcare meeting to establish trust and prepare the care recipient for the encounter. During the triadic meeting with the care recipient and caregiver, the IM interprets and ensures that the participants understand each other. The IM's presence creates space for the migrant care recipient to express his needs based on his everyday reality and cultural reference frame. In highlighting the care recipient's story, the IM is able to contribute to a more person-centered healthcare meeting, which may result in a better outcome. However, the lack of organisation of mediation services, lack of cultural awareness amongst care providers as well as exclusion from the healthcare practitioners' community of practice may hinder the effectiveness and stability of mediation services.

In this thesis we propose a new method for searching for gene products gene products and give annotations associating genes with Gene Ontology codes. Many solutions already exists, using different techniques, however few are capable of addressing the whole GO hierarchy. We propose a method for exploring this hierarchy by dividing it into subtrees, trying to find terms that are characteristics for the subtrees involved. Using a feature selection based on chi-square analysis and naive Bayes classification to find the correct GO nodes.

Abstract:
Background The Cochrane Highly Sensitive Search Strategy (HSSS), which contains three phases, is widely used to identify Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) in MEDLINE. Lefebvre and Clarke suggest that reviewers might consider using four revisions of the HSSS. The objective of this study is to validate these four revisions: combining the free text terms volunteer, crossover, versus, and the Medical Subject Heading CROSS-OVER STUDIES with the top two phases of the HSSS, respectively. Methods We replicated the subject search for 61 Cochrane reviews. The included studies of each review that were indexed in MEDLINE were pooled together by review and then combined with the subject search and each of the four proposed search strategies, the top two phases of the HSSS, and all three phases of the HSSS. These retrievals were used to calculate the sensitivity and precision of each of the six search strategies for each review. Results Across the 61 reviews, the search term versus combined with the top two phases of the HSSS was able to find 3 more included studies than the top two phases of the HSSS alone, or in combination with any of the other proposed search terms, but at the expense of missing 56 relevant articles that would be found if all three phases of the HSSS were used. The estimated time needed to finish a review is 1086 hours for all three phases of the HSSS, 823 hours for the strategy versus, 818 hours for the first two phases of the HSSS or any of the other three proposed strategies. Conclusion This study shows that compared to the first two phases of the HSSS, adding the term versus to the top two phases of the HSSS balances the sensitivity and precision in the reviews studied here to some extent but the differences are very small. It is well known that missing relevant studies may result in bias in systematic reviews. Reviewers need to weigh the trade-offs when selecting the search strategies for identifying RCTs in MEDLINE.

Abstract:
Svensk skola har som uppdrag att stimulera elever att dela samhällets gemensamma värderingar och använda sig av dessa, bl.a. genom att respektera andra människors egenvärde. Mobbning och kränkningar är dock vanligt förekommande i skolor. Begreppet mobbning används inte längre i juridisk mening utan har ersatts av kränkande behandling, vardagligt används dock ofta begreppen som två från varandra skilda företeelser. Vid mobbningssituationer i elevgrupper finns flera parter representerade; aktiva (mobbare), passiva (medlöpare) samt försvarare. Även de passiva är delaktiga och ansvariga för hur situationen utvecklas. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka om man kan tänkas minska effekterna av mobbning/kränkningar som sker elever emellan, genom att arbeta mer aktivt med medlöpare. Litteraturstudier och kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer har använts för att nå syftet. Utifrån litteraturstudierna och intervjuernas resultat drar jag slutsatsen att det är av stor betydelse att medlöpare aktivt bearbetas när man vill minska konsekvenserna av mobbning och kränkningar hos utsatta, och få bukt med problemen innan de växer sig alltför stora.

Abstract:
Biomedical literature such as MEDLINE articles are rich resources for discovering and tracking disease and drug knowledge. For example, information regarding the drugs that are used with a particular disease or the changes in drug usage over time is valulable. However, this information is buried in thousands of MEDLINE articles. Acquiring knowledge from these articles requires complex processes depending on the biomedical text mining techniques. Today, parasitic and bacterial diseases affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. They result in significant mortality and devastating social and economic consequences. There are many control and eradication programs conducted in the world. Also, many drugs are developed for diseases caused from parasites and bacteria. In this study, research was conducted of parasites (bacteria affecting the liver) and treatment drugs were tested. Also, relationships between these diseases and genes, along with parasites and bacteria were searched through data and biomedical text mining techniques. This study reveals that the treatment of parasites and bacteria seems to be stable over the last four decades. The methodology introduced in this study also presents a reference model to acquire medical knowledge from the literature.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper was to develop a system for identification of biomedical entities, such as protein and gene names, from a corpora of Medline abstracts. Another aim was to manage to extract the most relevant terms from the set of identified biomedical terms and make them readily presentable for an end-user. The developed prototype, named iMasterThesis, uses a dictionary-based approach to the problem. A dictionary, consisting of 21K gene names and 425K protein names, was constructed in an automatic fashion. With the realization of the protein name dictionary as a multi-level tree structure of hash tables, the approach tries to facilitate a more flexible and relaxed matching scheme than previous approaches. The system was evaluated against a golden standard consisting of 101 expert-annotated Medline abstracts. It is capable of identifying protein and gene names from these abstracts with a 10% recall and 14% precision. It seems clear that for further improvements of the obtained results, the quality of the dictionary needs to be increased, possibly through manual inspection by domain experts. A graphical user interface, presenting an end-user with the most relevant terms identified, has been developed as well.

Objetivo: Avaliar os resultados da capacitação de usuários de buscas informatizadas, através do Curso de Acesso às Bases em CD-ROM MEDLINE e LILACS, modalidade do Programa Educativo da Biblioteca da Faculdade de Saúde Publica da USP, oferecido a docentes e alunos da pós-graduação em saúde pública. Método: Questionário estruturado enviado aos 92 participantes dos Cursos, no período de 1993 e 1995. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que após a participação no Curso 65,2% deles conseguiram autonomia no acesso às bases de dados, 15,2% solicitaram buscas intermediadas pelo bibliotecário, e 19,6% não realizaram forma alguma de busca nas bases da Biblioteca. O usuário que busca esse tipo de capacitação é principalmente o aluno de cursos de pós-graduação (79,3%), com formação básica na área de ciências biológicas (81,5%), para suas atividades acadêmicas (79,4%), com o objetivo de buscar autonomia no acesso à informação (72,8%). A intermediação dos bibliotecários foi solicitada por motivos como: pouca familiaridade com as bases, dificuldade em lidar com tecnologia, confiança na busca realizada pelo bibliotecário e falta de tempo para busca, evidenciando a necessidade do usuário contar também com os serviços de busca realizado pelo bibliotecário, confirmada por 79,4% dos participantes do Curso. O Curso também foi avaliado quanto ao seu conteúdo, estrutura, metodologia, material didático e demais aspectos específicos à organização de capacitação desse nível. Conclusão: O Curso MEDLINE/LILACS está atendendo às necessidades dos usuários das buscas informatizadas, porém a Biblioteca deve ter o compromisso de mantê-lo pois quanto mais tecnologia a Biblioteca disponibiliza, maior é o seu compromisso em capacitar seu usuário.
This study analyses the results of end-user instruction through the databases modulated course in CD-ROM MEDLINE / LILACS, modality of the Library of the School of Public Health of University of S.Paulo Educational Program, offered to health sciences scientists and postgraduate students. It uses a mailed questionnaire which was answered by 66% of the 140 course participants between November/1993 and November/1995. The whole of the category studied was 92 end-users. The results demonstrate that former students, who have done researches in the Library, managed, in most cases (65,2%), to acquire autonomy in using databases, some of them (15,2%) requested librarians interventions, and some of them (19,6%) didn´t use the databases of the Public Health Library, during this period. It determines the end-user searching profile and it shows that the course is mainly looked for by the postgraduate students (79,3%), health area (81,5%), for their academic activities (79,4%) and by those who look for information access autonomy (72,8%) when they decide to participate in such courses. The users who do intermediary searching, appear to use an intermediary mainly for reasons such as: the lack of information technology, lack of familiarity with databases, reliability in the searches made by librarians and, lack of time for searching. The results demonstrate that 79,4% of end-users would like to do both end-user searching and intermediary searching. This study also analyses the Course contents, structure, methodology and didactic materials. This paper gets to the conclusion that end-users, in the whole, consider to be more important that the Library maintains this course and this kind of information user continuous educational program. This survey findings suggests other evaluations to be held to check the end-user’s performance.

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediators' views on their work; mediation by reason of the breach. The starting point was to find out the mediator's approach and attitude in relation to the perpetrator and victim, and the prevailing regulatory framework. After review of the literature, we came to the realization that knowledge of this area was very limited and thus presents an unexplored topic. It emerged from the results that the mediators emphasize the importance of maintaining impartiality and neutrality in the process of mediation and that it is important to create a good relationship with both parties. The methods used by the mediators is not so different much about, but the mediators apply Crime Prevention Council handbook. Since mediation is a rather lonely profession when they are not very many, are the mediators to network with other municipalities to exchange experiences and knowledge and through this develop their professional role and mediation activities.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to compare the three search engines Web of Science, Google Scholar and MEDLINE in regards of recovery efficiency and the overlap of relevant documents when it comes to information searching for academic purposes. Furthermore, it raises the question whether freely available search engines and licensed search engines are interchangeable with each other. The empirical data in this study were collected through searches conducted in the three search engines Web of Science, Google Scholar and MEDLINE. Twenty search queries were used and the first twenty retrieved documents for each query were examined for relevance using previously designed criteria. The documents were scored by a binary relevancy scale and thereafter a precision value for each search engine was calculated. The overlap of retrieved relevant document in all three search engines were also calculated using Jaccard’s Index. The results of this study showed that Web of Science was the search engine that had the highest precision value, 0.346 and that the largest overlap was between MEDLINE and Web of Science with a value of 0.112.

Abstract:

Mobbning är ett stort problem i dagens skola. Både lärare och elever låter bli att ingripa när de ser att mobbning sker. I och med att samhället utvecklas mot ett informationssamhälle utvecklas även metoderna för mobbning, idag är det vanligt med mobbning via dator och sms. Syftet med detta arbete är att försöka förstå några lärare och elevers uppfattningar om sitt ansvar i uppkomna mobbningsituationer, vilken syn på mobbning de har samt att jämföra eventuella skillnader som uppkommer. Genom att intervjua sex lärare och sex elever, har det framkommit att lärare tar sitt ansvar under tiden de är i skolan medan alla inte är villiga att ta sitt ansvar efter skoltid. Studien visar även att lärare tror att deras kollegor inte ingriper vid mobbningssituationer exempelvis på grund av den tunga arbetsbörda som följer. Elevernas syn på mobbning visar sig i att de alltid skulle agera direkt eller indirekt. Både lärare och elever ser olika typer av mobbning i skolan såsom psykisk, fysisk och verbal mobbning. Platsen för mobbning är också viktig och studien visar att mobbning sker på skolgården men att det även är vanligt att det sker i korridorer när elever skall förflytta sig till och ifrån lektioner. Både lärare och elever i denna studie ser en mobbningsfri skola närmast som en utopi och menar att det krävs mycket av samhället i stort för att en skola skall bli mobbningsfri.

Introdução: Para auxiliar os pesquisadores a identificarem os termos que devem compor a estratégia de busca, bibliotecários e educadores orientam os pesquisadores a consultarem e incluírem os termos (autorizados e não autorizados) do vocabulário controlado da base de dados na formulação de estratégias sensíveis para elaboração de revisões sistemáticas. No entanto, ao utilizar todos os termos disponíveis no tesauros (i.e. vocabulário controlado), as estratégias podem ficar extensas, pois alguns descritores incluem muitos termos não autorizados. Objetivo: Avaliar a praticidade e abrangência das estratégias de buscas compostas por descritores tanto do MeSH como do EMTREE, na área de Anestesiologia, que possam compor uma única estratégia de busca a ser utilizada nas bases de dados MEDLINE via PubMed e EMBASE. Método: Em nosso estudo transversal de estratégias de busca, selecionamos e analisamos 37 estratégias de busca desenvolvidas para o campo de Anestesiologia. Foram elaboradas as estratégias de busca originais que incluíram todos os termos disponibilizados nos vocabulários controlados, ou seja, com todas as variações referentes às diferentes grafias e ordens, direta e indireta, analisadas neste estudo. As estratégias originais foram modificadas com a exclusão dos termos que eram uma variação de grafia ou da ordem (direta ou indireta) para comparação dos resultados e adaptadas para submissão nas duas bases de dados. Resultados: As estratégias originais (com inclusão das variações: diferentes grafias e ordens direta e indireta) recuperaram o mesmo número de registros que as estratégias modificadas (sem a inclusão das variações)na base de dados Medline (média de 61,3%) e maior número na EMBASE (média de 63,9 %), na amostra analisada. O número de resultados obtidos pelas pesquisas analisadas não foi idêntico usando a associação ou não dos termos MeSH e EMTREE, sendo que a associação dos termos dos dois vocabulários controlados recuperou maior número de registros em comparação com o uso de termos de apenas um deles, nas duas bases de dados estudadas. Conclusões: Considerando os resultados, recomendamos o uso de todos os termos disponíveis nos vocabulários controlados incluindo termos autorizados e não autorizados (ou seja, diferentes ortografias e ordem direta e indireta do mesmo termo) e a associação dos termos do MeSH com os do EMTREE, para elaboração de estratégias de busca altamente sensíveis na realização de revisões sistemáticas.
Introduction: A high-quality electronic search is essential in ensuring accuracy and comprehensivness in identifying potentially relevant records in conducting a systematic review. To assist researchers in identifying terms when formulating a sensitive search strategy, librarians and educators instruct researchers to consult and include preferred and non-preferred terms of the controlled database. However, by using all available terms in the thesaurus (i.e. subject headings), strategies can be lengthy and very laborious. Objective: To identify the most efficient method for searching in both Medline through PubMed and EMBASE, covering search terms with different spellings, direct and indirect orders, and association (or lack thereof) with MeSH and EMTREE terms. Method: In our cross-sectional study of search strategies, we selected and analysed 37 search strategies specifically developed for the anesthesiology field. These search strategies were adapted in order to cover all potentially relevant search terms in terms of different spellings and direct and indirect orders, most efficiently. Results: When adapted to include different spellings and direct and indirect orders, adapted versions of the selected search strategies retrieved the same number of search results in the Medline (mean of 61,3%) and higher number in EMBASE (mean of 63,9%) of the analyzed sample. The number of results retrieved by the searches analysed was not identical using the association or not of MeSH and EMTREE terms; however the association of these terms from both controlled vocabularies retireved a large number of records compared to the use of either one of them. Conclusions: In view of these results, we recommend the use of search terms which include preferred and non-preferred terms (i.e., different spellings and direct/indirect order of the same term) and associated MeSH and EMTREE terms, in order to develop highly-sensitive search strategies for systematic reviews.

Abstract:
As the need for faster, safer and more efficient healthcare delivery increases, medical consultants seek new ways of implementing a high quality telemedical system, using innovative technology. Until today, teleconsultation (the most common application of Telemedicine) was performed by transferring the patient from the Accidents and Emergency ward, to a specially equipped room, or by moving large and heavy machinery to the place where the patient resided. Both these solutions were unpractical, uneconomical and potentially dangerous. At the same time wireless networks became increasingly useful in point-of-care areas such as hospitals, because of their ease of use, low cost of installation and increased flexibility. This thesis presents an integrated system called MedLAN dedicated for use inside the A&E hospital wards. Its purpose is to wirelessly support high-quality live video, audio, high-resolution still images and networks support from anywhere there is WLAN coverage. It is capable of transmitting all of the above to a consultant residing either inside or outside the hospital, or even to an external place, thorough the use of the Internet. To implement that, it makes use of the existing IEEE 802.11b wireless technology. Initially, this thesis demonstrates that for specific scenarios (such as when using WLANs), DICOM specifications should be adjusted to accommodate for the reduced WLAN bandwidth. Near lossless compression has been used to send still images through the WLANs and the results have been evaluated by a number of consultants to decide whether they retain their diagnostic value. The thesis further suggests improvements on the existing 802.11b protocol. In particular, as the typical hospital environment suffers from heavy RF reflections, it suggests that an alternative method of modulation (OFDM) can be embedded in the 802.11b hardware to reduce the multipath effect, increase the throughput and thus the video quality sent by the MedLAN system. Finally, realising that the trust between a patient and a doctor is fundamental this thesis proposes a series of simple actions aiming at securing the MedLAN system. Additionally, a concrete security system is suggested, that encapsulates the existing WEP security protocol, over IPSec.

Se realizó el análisis de la investigación mexicana en salud indizada en MEDLINE en un periodo de 15 años (1987-2001) con el objetivo de obtener su panorama e impacto en el entorno internacional. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que la ciencia mexicana en salud mantiene un ritmo de crecimiento constante en el periodo estudiado, y que la mayor generación de artículos científicos ha salido de las universidades, principalmente la UNAM, y de los Institutos de Salud gubernamentales. Al mismo tiempo, el mayor impacto internacional lo han conseguido los trabajos de investigación en salud elaborados por la UNAM, y se identificó la centralización de la investigación en pocas regiones del país, situación que ya ha sido reportada en otros estudios similares. Así mismo, la bioquímica, las neurociencias y la farmacología fueron las disciplinas que mayor número de citas obtuvieron
We analyzed the Mexican research in Health Sciences included in MEDLINE, between the period of 1987-2001. The objective was to know its international impact. Results showed that there is a constant growth in the studied period, and that most of scientific articles has been written in universities institutions, mainly the UNAM, and in government Institutes of Health. The greater international impact was obtained by papers elaborated by UNAM researchers, and the centralization of the investigation in few regions of the country was identified. Also, the biochemistry, the neurociencias and the pharmacology were the disciplines with a greater number of received cites.

Abstract:
Biological sciences literature can be extraordinarily difficult to understand. Papers are commonly filled with terminology unique to a particular sub-discipline. Readers with expertise outside that sub-discipline often have difficulty understanding information the author is trying to convey. The WikiPDF project that is the subject of this thesis helps readers understand the biological sciences literature by automatically generating a customized glossary for each page of any technical paper available in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) format. WikiPDF relies on the Wikipedia®, an on-line encyclopedia created and supported by a host of volunteers, as a source of definitions used in its glossaries. WikiPDF uses the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Medline/PubMed database of journal papers to organize, index, and locate WikiPDF glossaries. Design and implementation of this project relied exclusively on open-source software, including the Linux operating system, the Apache Tomcat web server, and the MySQL relational database system.

Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology
Tools to automatically summarize gene information from the literature have the potential to help genomics researchers better interpret gene expression data and investigate biological pathways. Even though several useful human-curated databases of information about genes already exist, these have significant limitations. First, their construction requires intensive human labor. Second, curation of genes lags behind the rapid publication rate of new research and discoveries. Finally, most of the curated knowledge is limited to information on single genes. As such, most original and up-to-date knowledge on genes can only be found in the immense amount of unstructured, free text biomedical literature. Genomic researchers frequently encounter the task of finding information on sets of differentially expressed genes from the results of common highthroughput technologies like microarray experiments. However, finding information on a set of genes by manually searching and scanning the literature is a time-consuming and daunting task for scientists. For example, PubMed, the first choice of literature research for biologists, usually returns hundreds of references for a search on a single gene in reverse chronological order. Therefore, a tool to summarize the available textual information on genes could be a valuable tool for scientists. In this study, we adapted automatic summarization technologies to the biomedical domain to build a query-based, task-specific automatic summarizer of information on mouse genes studied in microarray experiments - mouse Gene Information Clustering and Summarization System (GICSS). GICSS first clusters a set of differentially expressed genes by Medical Subject Heading (MeSH), Gene Ontology (GO), and free text features into functionally similar groups;next it presents summaries for each gene as ranked sentences extracted from MEDLINE abstracts, with the ranking emphasizing the relation between genes, similarity to the function cluster it belongs to, and recency. GICSS is available as a web application with links to the PubMed (www.pubmed.gov) website for each extracted sentence. It integrates two related steps, functional gene clustering and gene information gathering, of the microarray data analysis process. The information from the clustering step was used to construct the context for summarization. The evaluation of the system was conducted with scientists who were analyzing their real microarray datasets. The evaluation results showed that GICSS can provide meaningful clusters for real users in the genomic research area. In addition, the results also indicated that presenting sentences in the abstract can provide more important information to the user than just showing the title in the default PubMed format. Both domain-specific and non-domain-specific terminologies contributed in the informative sentences selection. Summarization may serve as a useful tool to help scientists to access information at the time of microarray data analysis. Further research includes setting up the automatic update of MEDLINE records; extending and fine-tuning of the feature parameters for sentence scoring using the available evaluation data; and expanding GICSS to incorporate textual information from other species. Finally, dissemination and integration of GICSS into the current workflow of the microarray analysis process will help to make GICSS a truly useful tool for the targeted users, biomedical genomics researchers.

Abstract:
The amount of biomedical literature has been increasing rapidly during the last decade. Text mining techniques can harness this large-scale data, shed light onto complex drug mechanisms, and extract relation information that can support computational polypharmacology. In this work, we introduce CASSANDRA, a fully corpus-based and unsupervised algorithm which uses the MEDLINE indexed titles and abstracts to infer drug gene associations and assist drug repositioning. CASSANDRA measures the Pointwise Mutual Information (PMI) between biomedical terms derived from Gene Ontology (GO) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). Based on the PMI scores, drug and gene profiles are generated and candidate drug gene associations are inferred when computing the relatedness of their profiles. Results show that an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of up to 0.88 can be achieved. The algorithm can successfully identify direct drug gene associations with high precision and prioritize them over indirect drug gene associations. Validation shows that the statistically derived profiles from literature perform as good as (and at times better than) the manually curated profiles. In addition, we examine CASSANDRA’s potential towards drug repositioning. For all FDA-approved drugs repositioned over the last 5 years, we generate profiles from publications before 2009 and show that the new indications rank high in these profiles. In summary, co-occurrence based profiles derived from the biomedical literature can accurately predict drug gene associations and provide insights onto potential repositioning cases.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to increase the understanding by librarians of searching the MEDLINE database, one of the world's most important databases for accessing scientific, technical. Medical. And health care information, within the context of searching the database on the Internet the Internet is a relatively new paradigm for delivering databases to users and most vendors or commercial databases have or are moving their applications to the Internet World Wide Web. MEDLlNE has been made available by several vendors free of charge via this medium, each of which offers a unique user interface to access the database. Seven free implementations of MEDLlNE were found. A comparison was made of these seven user interfaces including search capabilities and unique features. Results are presented in a matrix that allows direct graphic comparison. Results of the comparison showed that there are significant differences between the users interfaces studied. It was concluded that primary differences exist in the search capabilities offered. The display of search results, help, documentation and training. And the additional information provided on the site. It was not possible to conclude that one user interface was better than another in terms of optimizing search results or ease of use. It is recommended that librarians run actual searches using these different interfaces to choose a preferred implementation once chosen. it is recommended that future searches be performed using the same version so that a thorough familiarity with interface features may be attained. It is then necessary for the user to remain current with vendor documentation. Additional study is needed to determine the effectiveness of information retrieval using each interface.

Abstract:
L’utilisation des médicaments est souvent nécessaire au cours de la grossesse malgré un manque de connaissance de leurs effets indésirables sur la grossesse ou le fœtus. L’identification des effets indésirables des médicaments commercialisés au moyen d’outils statistiques de détection de signaux repose classiquement sur l’exploitation de grandes bases de notifications spontanées dans lesquelles le statut de grossesse est peu présent. Les bases médico-administratives sont de plus en plus utilisées en pharmacoépidémiologie y compris chez la femme enceinte. Elles sont donc potentiellement intéressantes pour une pharmacovigilance automatisée. En France, le Système National des Données de Santé couvre la quasi-totalité de la population française et les travaux de la thèse portent sur l’exploitation de son échantillon permanent, l’Echantillon Généraliste des Bénéficiaires. Le premier axe décrit la prescription des médicaments chez la femme enceinte et plus particulièrement les médicaments tératogènes ou fœtotoxiques et les supplémentations recommandées au cours de la grossesse. Nous trouvons que les femmes enceintes se voient délivrer beaucoup de médicaments au cours de la grossesse. Les médicaments à risque connu sont peu délivrés et les supplémentations recommandées sont en augmentation durant la période d’étude. Les femmes enceintes ayant de faibles revenus ont plus de délivrances de médicaments mais ont moins de délivrances de supplémentations. Le deuxième axe porte sur le développement d’une méthodologie de détection de signal basée sur l’utilisation du score de propension ou du score pronostique en grande dimension. Cette méthodologie, déclinée en 21 modalités, est appliquée pour identifier des médicaments possiblement associés à une augmentation du risque de prématurité. Un critère de détection dérivé de ces scores, le p-RD (p-value relative decrease), est proposé et sa pertinence est évaluée grâce à un ensemble de référence créé à partir d’une revue manuelle de la littérature de MEDLINE complétée par une expertise pharmacologique. Les résultats montrent que l’utilisation du p-RD dérivé du score pronostique permet de mieux prendre en compte la confusion et de limiter les biais d’indication et protopathique. Pour le troisième axe, le p-RD est appliqué à vingt pathologies spécifiques ou non de la grossesse et combiné à un requêtage automatisé des mots-clés MeSH des articles de MEDLINE. La pertinence des signaux générés par le p-RD dépend à la fois de fréquence de l’exposition médicamenteuse et de la pathologie et du fait que la pathologie soit bien caractérisée. Le requêtage automatisé permet une annotation facilitée des effets indésirables médicamenteux connus. En conclusion, cette thèse montre l’intérêt des données médico-administratives pour analyser l’évolution de la prescription de médicaments au cours de la grossesse et pour la détection de signaux en pharmacovigilance chez la femme enceinte
The use of drugs is often necessary during pregnancy despite a lack of knowledge of their adverse effects on pregnancy or the fetus. The identification of adverse reactions to marketed drugs using statistical signal detection tools classically relies on the use of large spontaneous reporting databases in which pregnancy status is unfrequent. Health claims databases are increasingly used in pharmacoepidemiology studies, including those of pregnant women. They are therefore a potential resource for automated pharmacovigilance. In France, the National Health Data System covers almost the entire French population and the thesis focuses on the use of its permanent sample, the Permanent Beneficiaries Sample (EGB). The first axis describes the prescription of drugs for pregnant women and more particularly teratogenic or fetotoxic drugs and supplementations recommended during pregnancy. The results of this work are that pregnant women are dispensed a lot of medications. Known risk drugs are rarely prescribed during pregnancy and recommended supplementation is increased during the study period. Pregnant women on low incomes have more drug prescribed but fewer supplementations. The second axis focuses on the development of a signal detection methodology based on the use of the propensity score or the prognostic score in high dimension. This methodology is applied to identify drugs possibly associated with an increased risk of prematurity. A detection criterion derived from these scores, the p-RD (p-value relative decrease), is proposed and its relevance assessed through a reference set created from a manual review of the MEDLINE literature supplemented by pharmacological expertise. The results show that the use of the p-RD derived from the prognostic score makes it possible to better take into account confusion, and to limit indication and protopathic bias. For the third axis, the p-RD is applied to twenty specific or non-specific pregnancy pathologies and combined with an automated query of MeSH keywords from MEDLINE articles. The relevance of the signals generated by the p-RD depends on both the frequency of drug exposure and pathology and whether the pathology is well characterized. Automated query allows easy annotation of known adverse drug reactions. In conclusion, this thesis shows the value of medico-administrative data for analyzing the evolution of drug prescription during pregnancy and for the detection of pharmacovigilance signals in pregnancy
