Construction of higher education knowledge map in university libraries based on MOOC

Purpose The purpose of this study was to establish a massive online open course (MOOC)-based map of higher education knowledge and apply it to university libraries. It hoped to provide more targeted and personalized learning services for every learner. Design/methodology/approach In this study, MOOC and university library information services were outlined, the development status of MOOC at home and abroad and the development of university library information services were introduced, and the necessity and significance of MOOC in developing information services in university libraries were analyzed. What is more, the knowledge map of university libraries was explored. The four modules include the construction of data sets, the identification of related entities from plain text, the extraction of entity relationships and the practical application of knowledge maps. For the logical relationship of the course, a combination of knowledge base and machine learning was adopted. In the knowledge map application module, the knowledge map was visualized. Aiming at the generation of personalized learning scheme, a prior data set was constructed by means of the knowledge base. The original problem was considered as a multi-classification problem. K-nearest neighbor classifier divided all courses into four academic years to obtain all courses. According to the course stage, the personalized learning scheme of some majors in higher education was obtained. Findings The experiment showed that it was feasible to apply the higher education knowledge map based on MOOC to university libraries. In addition, it was effective to divide the course into four stages by classifier. In this way, the specific professional training program can be obtained, the information service of the university library can be improved, and the accuracy and richness of the entire learning program can be increased. Research limitations/implications Due to the limitations of conditions, time and other aspects, there were not many opportunities to visit the field library, which led to limited level and imperfect research. There were many proper nouns and professional terms in foreign references, but my English translation ability was limited. The relevant investigation on foreign studies may not be detailed and comprehensive enough, and the analysis and induction of influencing factors of university library information service may not be rigorous and concise enough. Practical implications As the base of university information dissemination, the university library is the source of knowledge. At the same time, it is also the temple of students’ independent learning and the media of mainstream culture and improving its own information service level is also in line with the trend of The Times. Under this background, this research studied the influence of MOOC on university library information service and focused on the challenges and opportunities faced by university library information service in the MOOC environment, so as to continuously improve its cultural serviceability and better serve teachers and students. Originality/value Since the birth of MOOC, they have exerted great influence and enlightenment on universities and relevant educational institutions within a few years. European and American universities take an active part in the construction of the MOOC platform and explore how to make better use of the library to build MOOC resources in practice. It is also a hot topic for university libraries to participate in the construction of MOOC information resources. Therefore, the study of this topic has both theoretical and practical significance.

Review of the Problems of Diagnosis of Endopelvic Haemorrhage, Its Intensity, Volume, and Duration, and Treatment Methods of Circulatory Injuries and Surgical Hemostasis after Pelvic Fractures.

Functional dyspepsia and chronic gastritis

Diseases of upper parts of digestive tract are extremely widespread pathology and have not only the medical, but also social importance since often occur at young working-age people. It is actual to separate the items: functional dyspepsia (FD) and a dyspepsia associated with Helicobacter pylori because it is important for optimization of patient’s treatment. The review of modern foreign and Russian references about treatment of dyspeptic patients depending on existence or absence of an infection of Helicobacter pylori is presented in article (recommendation of V Maastricht consensus, Kyoto consensus, Russian gastroenterological association, Science society of Russian gastroenterologists). At diagnosis of a functional dyspepsia, it is recommended to be guided by the Roman criteria of the IV revision. In with document not only importance of an exception of organic pathology of digestive tract as the reasons of a secondary dyspepsia, but also need of inspection for the purpose of verification of Helicobacter pylori for an exception of an etiological role of a microorganism in development of a dyspepsia is emphasized. Allocation of two clinical options of a functional dyspepsia is also proved from the point of view of approaches to therapy of this disease. Algorithms of treatment of patients with various options of a dyspepsia are presented in article. These algorithms include different schemes of eradication therapy in case of dyspepsia associated with Helicobacter pylori and prokinetics/acid suppressors in case of functional dyspepsia.

MENOPAUSAL HORMONOTHERAPY IN ONCOGYNECOLOGIC PATIENTS

There is presented the review of domestic and foreign references on the conserved oncological safety of the use of menopausal hormone therapy after treatment for endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, borderline and malignant ovarian tumors, various variants of sarcomas of the uterus, vulva and vaginal cancer. To the opinion of the authors the refusal to prescribe menopausal hormone therapy to patients with oncogynecologic diseases in the anamnesis is usually not justified, the category of patients, to whom hormone replacement therapy is contraindicated, is well described and mentioned in the text. In other cases sex hormones can be used to treat menopausal symptoms and improve the quality of life of patients.

Top-k keyword search with recursive semantics in relational databases

Existing solutions for keyword search over relational databases focused on finding joined tuple structures from a data graph. We observe that such a graph using tuples as nodes and foreign-key references as edges cannot describe the joining connections between tuples within a single relation, and thus cannot support recursive query semantics over a relational database. To solve this problem, in our approach, we firstly model a weighted data graph considering both foreign key references and tuple joining connections within a single relation. Secondly, we discuss the ranking strategy for both nodes and edges supporting the recursive semantics by incorporating PageRank methods. Finally, an approximation algorithm as well as a top-k enumeration algorithm is presented by running Dijkstra algorithm based on dynamic programming strategy to enumerate result tuple trees. At the end of this paper, we conduct an experimental study and report the findings.

IRANIAN TOMBSTONES WITH FIGURAL REPRESENTATIONS DURING THE QAJAR ERA (1209-1344 A.H./1794-1925 C.E.) IN LIGHT OF A SELECTED COLLECTION FROM AL-RAWDA AL-MUQADDASA MUSEUM AT QUM: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND ARTISTIC STUDY

Although Iran knew various forms of tombstones throughout the different Islamic periods, whether of plain surface or not, the Qajar period (1209-1344/1794-1925) witnessed a big evolution with a quantum leap in both the general designs and the decorations. At that time, a new type of tombstones, which contain private images of their owners, were emerged.The aim of this study is to focus on this topic which so far has not received a sufficient attention, without any separate study in both the Arabic and the foreign references. Such studies would delve in the details of those tombstones ornamented with figures, tracing their evolution and unveiling their meanings. This study also treated these points through studying and publishing four tombstones preserved in the museum of the Holy Fatimid Rawda (Qum Astanh Museum).In fact, this museum had been chosen in particular because its collection has a special significance for containing the tombstones of certain rulers and historic patrons from the Qajar era. For achieving the study aims, this work comprises a descriptive study of these tombstones, followed by their analytical study.

A PROPOSED PART FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION

The researcher drives at through this current study to set a proposed framework for applying the environmental management systems in trade syndicates, exploring as well the role of these environmental management systems in improving performance of trade syndicates. Launching from the sense of social responsibility laid upon shoulders of trade syndicates and their members for being members in those syndicates, the study derives its significance from presenting an understanding of the active and effective role the environmental management systems play by standing on the essence and impact of those systems on trade syndicates’ performance, attempting as well to identify the aspects of this influence on trade syndicates and the societal role for being considered as one of the civil societies’ institutions in Egypt. The study hypotheses show that there is a significant correlation between applying the environmental management systems and improvement of professional syndicates’ performance. There is also a significant correlation between environmental societal awareness in professional syndicates’ administrations and the obstacles of applying the environmental management systems. The study is concerned with defining shortness aspects in applying environmental management systems using the inductive method to prepare the theoretical framework to review previous studies, Arabic and foreign references. The study uses the descriptive (qualitative)-analytical method through a questionnaire form. The study is applied on a sample of (254) individuals from heads and members of syndicates’ councils and occupational syndicates administrations, being applied on (24) syndicates in Egypt. The study proves validity of hypotheses that: there is a relationship between administering environmental management systems and improvement of trade syndicates’ performance and that there is a relationship between environmental societal awareness of trade syndicates and obstacles of applying the environmental management systems. Study recommendations recommend the necessity for including environmental management within the work plan of trade syndicates, recommending also with raising and increasing awareness of officials and employees of trade syndicates through exposing environmental cultural programs to enlighten them with risks of environment’ pollution in addition to the importance and means of conserving the environment.

ACTIVATING THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN THE GIZA ZOO FOR ACHIEVING ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

There are several aspects of inconvenience and inappropriateness in dealings and attitudes of human beings with animals. There are also lots of questionings concerning the good appropriate conditions for animals' seizure or being locked in cages or in enclosed environments; and what are the guiding lines for designing management systems for animals; taking into consideration the ecological and local impacts of the management systems of animals within limits of not violating the zoological field. This study purpose is to activate the environmental management systems in the zoo of Giza, defining also aspects of shortness in environmental planning for improving the environmental performance and assist in decision-making. The study hypotheses demonstrate that: There is no significant correlation between activation of the administrative systems in the zoo of Giza for achieving environmental management. There is no correlation between applying the environmental management system and improvement of performance level, and improving the control supervision level. The study is concerned with evaluating the current environmental performance of the environmental management system, defining as well the shortness aspects exist in applying the environmental management system. The study use the inductive method for preparing the theoretical framework of research, inducing as possible as can the review of literatures, Arabic and foreign references specialized in this domain of environmental management systems in zoos. The study uses the descriptive (qualitative)-analytical method through using an investigation form as the main tool of research, to be administered on workers in the Giza Zoo (224). The study limits on spatial limits embodied in the Giza Zoo and its employees (workers-administrators –veterinaries). Results indicate the following: There is a correlation between applying the environmental management systems and improving performance level in the zoo. There is a correlation between applying the environmental management systems, the supreme administration, planning, and decision-making. There is a significant correlation between applying the environmental management systems and improving the control supervision level.

Populações tradicionais e conflitos em áreas protegidas

Populações tradicionais são grupos locais que usam seus conhecimentos dos elementos da natureza e de sua dinâmica para sobreviver. Aqui se analisam essas populações e os conflitos em áreas protegidas a partir de uma revisão da literatura e incluindo referências nacionais e estrangeiras, o que permite comparar aspectos comuns de realidades diferentes. Constata-se que a origem dos conflitos está na concepção de áreas protegidas, que se têm sustentado em parâmetros essencialmente ambientais e com uma visão de ambiente que vê a sociedade como externa. Com base nos conceitos de território e territorialidade, a análise geográfica dos conflitos permitiu interpretá-los nos aspectos institucional, econômico, social e cultural, sendo a identificação e a compreensão de suas raízes fatores fundamentais para a gestão dessas áreas.

Knit fashion design by application of a flower image ofGeorgia O'Keeffe painting

The purpose of this study is to create knit ruffles that represent the aesthetic and artistic values of painted works of art that rhythmically express flower petals and add an artistic impression on the knit ruffle designs. This study is based on the artistic life of Georgia O`Keeffe and changes in her artistic background, and the world of paintings. The relevant data was gathered from domestic and foreign references, academic journals, and the internet. The characteristics of Georgia O`Keeffe paintings were examined. Her paintings typically include a series of various motifs, symmetry, balance, and harmony of detailed realistic expressions and abstract elements, repetition, and the principles of contrast and emphasis in shaping. The decoration techniques used on fabrics were applied using the knitting machine which controls the tension to develop a variety of textures, apart from the previous standardized knit textures, through various knitting techniques. A gradation effect was then applied by piece-dyeing the knitted materials in various colors to express asimilarity to the original colors in O`Keeffe`s works with delicate color expressions. After the piece-dyeing, the decorative knitted materials were trimmed on a model to re-create the natural curves of flower petals. This study aims to converge works of art with fashion designs to develop various creative knitted fashion and to impart an artistic sense in the fashion design industry.

THE LEARNING PROCESS AND THE ROLE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF USING LEARNING STRATEGIES IN PIANO EDUCATION

The piano education is inherently based on an individual education system. Playing the piano is a skill which have cognitive and affective dimensions that is mostly dominant psiko –motor dimension. Development of motor skills is supplied by well-organized exercices and practicing. Some students have problem while learning piano. They complain about not getting efficiently result and not able to learn even though they work hard. The main problem is result from that students don’t know how they work correctly. Some students need shown how they have to work to learn playing piano. Before incorrect working habits become established, they have to be guided how they will learn by their teachers. The most important learning is learning to learn. On this account, the learning strategies are one of the most important subjects in the education field. This article was carried out to determine the role and the importance of the learning strategies in piano education as well as the learning strategies that are practicable and may be usable in this field. The article based on the given objective possesses descriptive study charecteristics. National and foreign references which are related to this subject were searched, the role and the importance of the learning strategies for the piano learning process were determined and the ones among these strategies which were practicable at piano education was found out.

In Search of an Identity: Voluntary Foreign Citations in Discordant Constitutional Settings

Accounts of voluntary judicial reference to foreign sources in noncanonical settings are rare. The general literature on the subject stresses the importance of factors such as global convergence and inevitability of engagement with foreign jurisprudence; judicial prestigeor legitimacy-enhancing factors; and structural features (e.g. constitutional provisions that call for foreign citations, linguistic permeability, a legal tradition or trajectory of legal education that affects a given apex court's ability and willingness to cite foreign jurisprudence). Whereas these accounts provide illuminating explanations for the rise and variance in the practice of global judicial dialogue, they leave out a crucial factor: the socio-political context within which constitutional courts and judges operate, and how this affects whether and where the judicial mind travels in its search for pertinent foreign sources to reference. In the realm of voluntary reference to foreign law in transitional or discordant constitutional settings, judicial choices as to what to cite and what not to cite cannot be understood in isolation from the views of constitutional courts and judges with respect to the “identity” dimension—the attempt to define who “we” are as a political community, and to articulate in a public way what “our image” or “place” in the world are or should be. Instances of strategic, ad-hoc judicial recourse to foreign law are obviously inseparable from the concrete political settings within which they take place. In post-authoritarian or newly created constitutional settings, such choices can signal a judicial commitment to breaking with a nation's less-than-dazzling past or to belong to a certain group of polities. Such choices may likewise help courts and their backers advance certain worldviews and policy preferences that may be otherwise contested in majoritarian decision-making arenas. Importantly, the foreign references that peak courts in discordant constitutional settings (e.g. Israel, Pakistan, Malaysia, India) select, reject or ignore reflect the judicial position vis-a-vis the nation's contested collective identity quandaries. These judicial picks may thus be a channel for and an indicator of constitutional and political identity formation.
