Full textTaking into account the overwhelming number of biomedical publications being produced, the effort required for a user to efficiently explore those publications in order to establish relationships between a wide range of concepts is staggering. This dissertation presents GRACE, a web-based platform that provides an advanced graphical exploration interface that allows users to traverse the biomedical domain in order to find explicit and latent associations between annotated biomedical concepts belonging to a variety of semantic types (e.g., Genes, Proteins, Disorders, Procedures and Anatomy). The knowledge base utilized is a collection of MEDLINE articles with English abstracts. These annotations are then stored in an efficient data storage that allows for complex queries and high-performance data delivery. Concept relationship are inferred through statistical analysis, applying association measures to annotated terms. These processes grant the graphical interface the ability to create, in real-time, a data visualization in the form of a graph for the exploration of these biomedical concept relationships.
Tendo em conta o crescimento do número de publicações biomédicas a serem produzidas todos os anos, o esforço exigido para que um utilizador consiga, de uma forma eficiente, explorar estas publicações para conseguir estabelecer associações entre um conjunto alargado de conceitos torna esta tarefa exaustiva. Nesta disertação apresentamos uma plataforma web chamada GRACE, que providencia uma interface gráfica de exploração que permite aos utilizadores navegar pelo domínio biomédico em busca de associações explícitas ou latentes entre conceitos biomédicos pertencentes a uma variedade de domínios semânticos (i.e., Genes, Proteínas, Doenças, Procedimentos e Anatomia). A base de conhecimento usada é uma coleção de artigos MEDLINE com resumos escritos na língua inglesa. Estas anotações são armazenadas numa base de dados que permite pesquisas complexas e obtenção de dados com alta performance. As relações entre conceitos são inferidas a partir de análise estatística, aplicando medidas de associações entre os conceitos anotados. Estes processos permitem à interface gráfica criar, em tempo real, uma visualização de dados, na forma de um grafo, para a exploração destas relações entre conceitos do domínio biomédico.

Full textEssa dissertação de mestrado aborda as relações da poesia com a psicanálise buscando compreender a importância da primeira para a construção teórica da segunda. Assim, num primeiro momento buscou-se traçar um breve percurso acerca da poesia, para depois se adentrar a obra de Freud interrogando por que ele citou tanto os poetas. Nesse sentido, a diferenciação entre processos primários e secundários, além das noções de facilitação (Bahnung) e a posteriori (Nächtraglichkeit) são investigadas como mportantes para uma articulação em torno da originariedade poética. Num segundo momento da dissertação, a partir da noção derridiana de différance, questiona-se o uso da poesia como exemplo ilustrativo da efetividade de uma teoria. Essa discussão é feita a partir do seminário de Lacan sobre o conto The Purloined Letter de E.A.Poe e sua conclusão de que uma carta sempre chega ao seu destino.
This MSc dissertation focus is on the relationship of poetry and psychoanalysis, seeking to understand the importance of the first for the theoretical construction of the second. Thus, initially a brief tour on poetry is made, and then we enter the work of Freud questioning why he quoted the poets so often. Accordingly, the distinction between primary and secondary processes, in addition to the concepts of facilitation (Bahnung) and deffered action (Nachträglichkeit) are investigated as important concepts to approach poetry originality. In a second moment of dissertation, from the Derrida`s notion of difference, the use of poetry as an illustrative example of the effectiveness of a theory is questioned. This discussion takes as its starting point the seminar of Lacan on The Purloined Letter of E. A. Poe and its conclusion that a letter always reaches its destination.

Full textByggindustrin står under de kommande åren inför ett generationsskifte, och trots att kunskapsåterföring har varit ett känt ämne sedan 1990-talet kämpar fortfarande många företag med att förbättra sin kunskapsstrategi. I byggföretag är detta ännu mer problematiskt på grund av industrins natur. Byggindustrin karaktäriseras nämligen av projektbaserade organisationer där projektmedlemmarna byts ut till varje projekt. Konsulter jobbar under liknande förhållanden, och det finns några konsultföretag som är kända för att hantera sin kunskap på ett bra sätt. Genom att jämföra (genom benchmarking) tre kända konsultbolag med ett byggkonsultföretag är några nyckelfaktorer för konsultbolagens framgång i kunskapsåterföring framtagna, och dessa är sedan applicerade på byggkonsultföretaget. Studien präglas av Hansen m. fl.:s (1999) kodifikations- och personaliseringsstrategi, vilka innebär att kunskap antingen ska lagras i tekniska databaser eller delas genom social interaktion. En litteraturstudie av tre kända konsultbolag utfördes och studien av byggkonsultföretaget baserades på intervjuer och observationer. Företagens kunskapsprocesser beskrevs sedan och kategoriserades som teknisk och social infrastruktur. Där liknande strategier observerades i alla tre företagen har dessa analyserats som deras nyckelfaktorer för lyckad hantering av kunskap. Nyckelfaktorerna kan sammanfattas enligt följande: 1) Tydliga och standardiserade rutiner. 2) Användarvänliga och uppdaterade tekniska system. 3) Globalt samarbete och interaktion. 4) En kunskapsspridande företagskultur. Baserat på dessa fyra nyckelfaktorer och även på studerad litteratur i ämnet var några förbättringsförlag till byggkonsultföretaget framtagna. Trots att de fyra företagen alla är managementkonsulter så arbetar de på väldigt olika sätt. Eftersom tre konsultföretag var undersökta så borde det ge en bred variation av förslag som skulle kunna bli anpassade till olika sorters organisationers behov. De analyserade nyckelfaktorerna är framförallt kopplade till stora globala organisationer som arbetar under projektbaserade förhållanden, vilket borde gälla för många typer utav företag. Resultatet borde därför vara användbart för konsultbolag, men även för byggföretag.

The Knowledge Construction of Change and The Change during Knowledge Construction Lin Shiang-June Abstract The research is on the exploration of change. We intent to explore experience of what and how the ''change'' is. The research is as a process toward the knowledge construction of ''change''. Self-narrative study was adopted. In the beginning, we started the research by the ''Second-Order Change'' exploration and intended to have a definition. A coding method was adopted to analyze the change-narrative text. After the analysis, the researcher had a reflection on that research action and find it was not the right way to approach to the subject''s experience. By this reflection, we had a methodological detour to Hermeneutics-Phenomenology research. Instead of defining what ''change'' is, we went back to the subjectivity--the experience themselves. We had two texts to be interpreted: one from the researcher''s autobiography and the other from a female co-researcher''s narrative-interview, who both were professional counselors. Each text was interpreted according two layers: the first for how the subjects framed the change experience from their context; and the second for the recontextualization from social context. The researcher got the knowledge of ''change'' from these narratives interpretation: on the subject''s context layer, ''change'' was referred to the different pattern by way of the ''reframing'' of personal construct; and on the social context layer, ''change'' was referred to the different pattern in the social context by way of the reframing from personal context to social context. Based on the knowledge construction about ''change'', reflection and discussion were proposed.

In the field of construction industry, the application of knowledge management is a frontier. Few researches studied the nature of construction industry organization, construction industry economy and the application of knowledge management on construction industry. Obviously, the application and development of knowledge management on construction industry is slower than the other industries. For this reason, it is worth for construction industry aim at and learn follow those have induced knowledge management successfully. This study reviews the literatures related to the knowledge management first. After exploring the history of knowledge management among industries, the critical issues and trend of knowledge management have been evaluated. According to the characteristics of construction industry, the aforementioned critical issues and trend finally been feed back to the construction industry, and then develop the critical issues and trend for construction industry.

Knowledge management (KM) has become the most critical organizational strategy for enterprises. This research is a pilot study to develop a generic model using knowledge map for knowledge management in construction enterprise, analyzing and discussing its components, pertinent supplementary techniques, and KM implementation status for construction projects. All these problems can be resolved if businesses have the determination to establish organizational culture focusing on team participation and involvement, increase the creating and innovation of organizational knowledge. This research integrates present KM theoretical literature and practical implementation methodologies to develop with a generic model for KM frameworks integrated with knowledge map. The mind knowledge map is a categorized expression way of knowledge that has creativity strength, different thinking, and logic characteristic. In this research, mind map is proposed and integrated in the application of knowledge management in construction. To translate engineer’s personal tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge, proposed approaches regard to knowledge map contain seven steps is presented combining mind map and constructional characteristic. IDEF approach is selected to assist the knowledge map setting steps. Furthermore, mind management software package is selected to analyze the example. Mind manager is thinking software based on mind mapping technology. This software can be applied to organize the idea, content outline, and show the plan tools. Finally, acceptance degree and function probing of mind map on constructional stage for construction industry’s staff member are investigated through questionnaire. From the statistical results of the investigation questionnaire, both the acceptance degree and function probing are very high satisfactory. The effective inquiry and management way for construction knowledge will be developed to a construction industry application model in the future.

In the age of knowledge-based economy,individual and organization must actively acquire knowledge to create competitive advantage,and the most common method of acquiring knowledge is to learn.The knowledge is defined as consensus of group by social constructivism, and the learn is defined as constructed through the social interactions of group. The Objective of this study is use social constructivism as a basis for the development of a collaborative learning approach, this collaborative learning use concept map to help learners express and present ideas, use anonymous discussion to reduce peer pressure, and through compare the knowledge structure of before studying and after studying to assist participating members know outcome of studying. This study is hoped that through this method can help individuals learn and help organize groups create a consensus on the issue. After experiments in this study, the results show that this method can help learners to improve their knowledge and gather a consensus within the group. And use concept map to express and present ideas is agree with participating members. Overall, participating members expressed satisfaction with the method of this study design. But in the way of use anonymous discussion to reduce peer pressure, mostly members still can feel the presence of peer pressure. So this method still need to improve in follow-up study.

When students learn with group, they often use the way of cooperative learning to learn, However, there may be some problems when they are cooperating, such as bad communication and concluding ideas. Therefore, the problems result in bad learning effectiveness, and losses the meaning of group learning. Thus, according to the literature of knowledge management and organization learning, this study designs the process of knowledge collaborative construction which includes the 3 steps: individual writing, group discussion and groups observation, and implementing the information system for this process. In addition, when students in group learning with system, we help students effectively construct knowledge with drawing the declarative concept man, causal loop diagram and procedural concept map sequentially. The results of this study are as followings: (1) To construct the process of knowledge collaborative construction, it could help students convert tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge, reach a consensus and expand knowledge in progress of group learning. (2) The information system which based on the process of knowledge collaborative construction could support activity of learning, also provide the platform that students can use it to share outcomes and opinions with each other. (3) To design the implementation method of knowledge construction which include 3 drawing phase: draw the declarative concept map, causal loop diagram and procedural concept map, it could make student's declarative knowledge convert to procedural knowledge.
