CONT

The term entrepreneurial model refers to [the] creation of a new business entity as a means of providing work for an individual, or a group of individuals, with a diagnosis of a developmental disability. In this model, the skills and interests of the individual, or a group of individuals, with an autism spectrum disorder are used as a basis for the creation of a new business. The goal of the endeavor is to create enough revenue from the business to both pay the workers with a disability and support staff who assist them.

Subject field(s)
  • Clinical Psychology
CONT

Psychological approach to AIDS patients … Experience with individual psychotherapy with AIDS patients suggests more psychological attention beginning from diagnosis, passing through the evolutive and terminal phases of the disease and making use of these means as preventive tools with those HIV-infected though assymptomatic. Group psychotherapy may be another means able to attend to the internees demand. The understanding of these patients life dimensions can be another contribution for the improving of hospital attendance.

  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
DEF

Exposure of an individual to radiation (i) in a restricted area; or (ii) in the course of employment in which the individual’s duties involve exposure to radiation ...

CONT

The occupational doses ... fall into two broad categories. Dose to workers at a trench facility is estimated to be significantly lower than the doses from the other four technologies analyzed. Occupational doses at belowground vaults, aboveground vaults, modular concrete canisters, and earth mounded concrete bunker facilities are all similar, but higher than those for trenches, because of the necessity of constructing more elaborate disposal facilities.

OBS

... "occupational dose" shall not be deemed to include any exposure of an individual to radiation for the purpose of medical diagnosis or medical therapy of such individual.

DEF

Dose de rayonnements [...] reçue par une personne employée comme «travailleur sous rayonnements».

OBS

[...] dans le cas de l'immersion, on profite de la dilution isotopique qui abaisse considérablement l'activité volumique, et de la décroissance radioactive. En effet, la période du tritium [...] est très courte devant les temps de transferts et de renouvellement des différentes couches d'eau de l'océan. La dose collective qui pourrait en résulter est extrêmement faible, pour ne pas dire nulle. Aussi pour le choix entre le stockage à terme et l'immersion, il faudra tenir compte des doses aux travailleurs dans les deux cas, plus que des différences entre les doses collectives dans l'une et l'autre solution, qui ne pourraient être significatives.

Record 7 2002-07-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Training of Personnel
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

A level of diagnosis concerned with the individual whose behavior and knowledge are of interest to the behavioral and epistemic diagnosis. It supports the view of the student, not only as a recipient of communicable knowledge, but as an agent with an identity of his own, engaged in an active learning process. Collecting information about this agent's individual characteristics can be a productive diagnostic activity. Individual diagnosis remains an area for further research.

CONT

Individual diagnosis requires a specialized, largely domain-independent vocabulary, which the field still needs to investigate.

DEF

Diagnostic effectué par un individu (l'apprenant) en considérant son état de connaissance (état épistémique).

OBS

Les principales facettes de ce type de diagnostic sont d'ordre : architectural (simulation de l'état épistémique par l'architecture cognitive du didacticiel), didactique (inclusion d'un modèle d'apprentissage dans le modèle de l'apprenant), stéréotypique (construction d'un profil de l'apprenant au moyen de traits de caractère et de préférences stéréotypiques), motivationnel (inclusion de paramètres tels, niveau d'intérêt, fatigue, etc.), situationnel (interventions extérieures qui peuvent modifier la performance de l'apprenant), intentionnel (attitude et opinions de l'apprenant vis-à-vis de l'interaction pédagogique), autoréférentiel (modèle individuel) et réciproque (modèle du système construit par l'étudiant).

Record 9 1995-05-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
CONT

... general engineering principles for the design of [on-line diagnosis] are proposed [in IDEBUGGY] : shorter lifespan of individual tasks, suspension and recall of hypotheses from and to a current set, and gradual introduction of complexity according to likely relevance.

CONT

As a piece of engineering, DEBUGGY has demonstrated the feasibility of a robust diagnostic system based on a theory of bugs. However, its contribution goes beyond the engineering feat, with principles for organizing search processes and for providing on-line diagnosis.

Record 10 1994-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

Pedagogical activity aiming at collecting and inferring information about the student or his actions. This task often involves the construction of a student model.

OBS

Etymologically, the word simply means "to know thoroughly" but is perhaps better understood here as "to know sufficiently" given the pragmatic and necessarily approximate nature of the task.

CONT

In essence, diagnosis can be viewed as a process of reasoning about reasoning and about learning. As a pure modeling activity, it reconstructs knowledge states responsible for observable behaviour by a reversal of the individual model that has processed knowledge into actions.

CONT

In pedagogical diagnosis, the search spaces representing the possible student models are frequently very large - increasingly so as models become more sophisticated.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Éducation permanente
DEF

Activité d'un tutoriel visant à reconnaître et à interpréter les actions de l'étudiant. L'on distingue le diagnostic comportemental et le diagnostic épistémique, le diagnostic interactif et le diagnostic inférentiel, le diagnostic intentionnel, le diagnostic piloté par modèles et le diagnostic heuristique.

Record 11 1989-09-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

The third and last phase of epistemic diagnosis where the updating of the knowledge state takes place as a continuous series of observations from which new diagnostic information is integrated into the existing student model. This includes the recognition of patterns that manifest themselves over time. The updating methods use scalar attributes, such as numerical weights, associated with individual elements of the knowledge state. These weights are updated by some statistical or pseudostatistical computations as knowledge manifests itself in behavior. Some diagnostic updating methods are very similar to what is called in AI "truth maintenance" or "belief revision"(Doyle 1979, de Kecer 1986).

OBS

Diagnostic updating methods which combine theories of learning and belief revision in a form of "reasoning about learning" still belong to the future (Halpern 1986).
