Promoting positive parenting: an annotated bibliography.

Positive parenting is built on respect for children and helps develop self-esteem, inner discipline, self-confidence, responsibility, and resourcefulness. Positive parenting is also good for parents: parents feel good about parenting well. It builds a sense of dignity. Positive parenting can be learned. Understanding normal development is a first step, so that parents can distinguish common behaviors in a stage of development from "problems." Central to positive parenting is developing thoughtful approaches to child guidance that can be used in place of anger, manipulation, punishment, and rewards. Support for developing creative and loving approaches to meet special parenting challenges, such as temperament, disabilities, separation and loss, and adoption, is sometimes necessary as well. This annotated bibliography offers resources to professionals helping parents and to parents wishing to develop positive parenting skills.

[Study on the inferred proofreading method in Su wen shi yi (Annotated plain questions)].

Su wen shi yi (Annotated Plain Questions), compiled by Zhang Qi in the 9th year of Daoguang reign, was an important revised edition of Su wen (Plain Questions) which has over 570 entries of revised texts. Among them, about a half was inferred proofreadings which is a unique point of this book. This is closely related to the prevalence of scholastic atmosphere of textual research at that time. During his inferred proofreading, Zhang checked the original texts of Plain Questions and Wang Bing's texts as well. The exact method for his inferred proofreading included checking based on the original texts, checking based on medical doctrines, and combined method of both. The inferred proofreading method is of high reference value, exerting certain influence on the studies of Nei jing (Inner Canon) both domestically and abroad.

The Moebius sequence--report of a case and a short annotation.

A Malay baby with multiple cranial nerve involvement consistent with the Moebius sequence (syndrome) is reported. He also had many non-Central Nervous System (CNS) related defects which include limb reduction defects and the Poland sequence. A short annotation and the spectrum of this disorder are presented. In view of many reported related disorders, Moebius sequence may occur as a part of a broader pattern of malformation.

Automated testing of arrhythmia monitors using annotated databases.

Arrhythmia-algorithm performance is typically tested using the AHA and MIT/BIH databases. The tools for this test are simulation software programs. While these simulations provide rapid results, they neglect hardware and software effects in the monitor. To provide a more accurate measure of performance in the actual monitor, a system has been developed for automated arrhythmia testing. The testing system incorporates an IBM-compatible personal computer, a digital-to-analog converter, an RS232 board, a patient-simulator interface to the monitor, and a multi-tasking software package for data conversion and communication with the monitor. This system "plays" patient data files into the monitor and saves beat classifications in detection files. Tests were performed using the MIT/BIH and AHA databases. Statistics were generated by comparing the detection files with the annotation files. These statistics were marginally different from those that resulted from the simulation. Differences were then examined. As expected, the differences were related to monitor hardware effects.

A probabilistic information retrieval approach to medical annotation in SWISS-PROT.

The goal of medical annotation of human proteins in Swiss-Prot is to add features specifically intended for researchers working on genetic diseases and polymorphisms. For this purpose, it is necessary to search through a vast number of publications containing relevant information. Promising results have been obtained by applying natural language processing and machine learning techniques to solve this problem. By using the Probabilistic Latent Categorizer on representative query sets, 69% recall and 59% precision was achieved for relevant documents. This classifier also rejected irrelevant abstracts with more than 96% precision. Better linguistic pre-processing of source documents can further improve such computer approach.

Automatic annotation of medical records.

One of the research projects running at the medical informatics department of the Institute of Computer Science AS CR explores the problem of medical information representation and development of electronic health record (EHR). With respect to this effort an interesting problem arises: how to transfer knowledge from a medical record written in a free text form into a structured electronic format represented by the EHR. Currently, this task was solved by writing extraction rules (regular expressions) for every element of information that is to be extracted from the medical record. However, such approach is very time consuming and requires supervision of a skilled programmer whenever the target area of medicine is changed. In this article we explore the possibility to mechanize this process by automatically generating the extraction rules from a pre-annotated corpus of medical records. Since we are currently in the phase of data acquisition and preliminary tests we will not present any final results, rather we will sketch the technologies we intend to use and describe the tools that were developed so far as a part of this project.

A distributed computation of Interpro Pfam, PROSITE and ProDom for protein annotation.

Interpro is a widely used tool for protein annotation in genome sequencing projects, demanding a large amount of computation and representing a huge time-consuming step. We present a strategy to execute programs using databases Pfam, PROSITE and ProDom of Interpro in a distributed environment using a Java-based messaging system. We developed a two-layer scheduling architecture of the distributed infrastructure. Then, we made experiments and analyzed the results. Our distributed system gave much better results than Interpro Pfam, PROSITE and ProDom running in a centralized platform. This approach seems to be appropriate and promising for highly demanding computational tools used for biological applications.

[Methods for improving the quality of prediction in the process of automatic annotating A4].

Modifications of the previously described adaptive algorithm of automatic annotating A4 have been considered, which make it possible to improve the quality of prediction. First, the direct use of the so-called basis statistics eta refines the quality of prediction compared with the previously proposed statistics gamma. Second, the quality is improved if not all similar sequences found but only part of them are used. This decreases the noising of the data, which in turn improves the quality of prognosis.

Communication problems associated with cleft palate and related disorders. Annotated bibliography.

The books in this annotated bibliography were selected because of the general nature of the information that they provide. Most of these books contain bibliographies that include references of a more technical nature should the reader desire such information. These books are available at most university libraries. Additional information can be obtained from brochures and fact sheets published by the Cleft Palate Foundation (1218 Grandview Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15211). These publications were prepared primarily for patients and parents, but can provide useful information to professionals who typically do not work with patients with cleft palate and craniofacial anomalies.

Evaluation of nutrition interventions. An annotated bibliography and review of methodologies and results. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

1. This is the second edition of an annotated bibliography covering evaluation methodology and evaluations of nutrition interventions. It contains more than 110 items on methodology and around 300 reports describing the results from evaluation studies. Included are most of the 250 items listed in the first edition, which was compiled in 1980, by G.P. Sevenhuysen and Ann Burgess. Almost all the items are available in the FAO libraries in Rome. 2. The most useful of the items are starred and also indexed in Tables 1, 2 or 3. Evaluation methodology 3. There was general agreement in the guidelines on evaluation methodology on the following points: Evaluation should be an integral routine programme activity wherever possible; Field staff must be involved at all stages of the evaluation including interpretation; Results should be rapidly 'fed-back' to allow adaptations to be made to the programme if necessary. 4. Many of the guidelines did not adequately cover the following points: How to conduct both 'operational' and 'impact' evaluation; The importance of taking into account, when designing the evaluation, the needs of the people who will use the results; How to select a representative sample; How to overcome the problem of 'drop-outs'; How to measure 'leakage' of programme inputs; How to control for non-programme variables; How to distinguish among the effects of multiple inputs; How to measure costs and cost-effectiveness; How to ensure data reliability. A review of reports of evaluation studies confirmed that better guidelines are needed in these areas. Evaluation reports 5. In only about one third of the studies examined were sufficient details available for a good assessment to be made of the reliability of the results. 6. Among the problems that made it difficult to assess the value of some of the results were: A lack of specific programme objectives and of baseline data; Inadequate statistical testing of the results; Conclusions based mainly on subjective opinion rather than objective information; A weak data base, due to an unrepresentative sample, a high 'drop-out' rate among the selected sample, or insufficient data collected; A lack of information on the 'dosage' of the input actually reaching the recipients; A lack of information on possible differences in age distribution, and other variables, in the test and control groups; No control of non-programme variables; An evaluation design that did not allow the different contributions of multiple programme inputs to be assessed; No data on costs; Lack of information on which to judge data reliability.

The role of annotated bibliographies in information dissemination.

In July 1982, a comprehensive questionnaire was sent to a random sample of names on the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (NDIC) mailing list to measure user satisfaction with and use of annotated bibliographies about diabetes topics. The bibliographies are used to learn more about a topic and to locate cited materials. The total number of publications ordered by this sample is 8,857; therefore, an extrapolation from these data suggests that more than 45,000 publications were ordered as a direct result of the citations as the source of information.

A specification for defining and annotating regions of macromolecular structures.

We present a program- and machine-independent standard for annotating macromolecular structures. Data encoded by this specification may be used for communicating information about structures and for exchanging it between different computer systems. The format consists of a set of ASN.1 objects which are mechanically straightforward to parse, but are also easy for humans to create and understand. It differs from all other related standards in that it specifies how a molecule should be displayed without requiring a custom format for the coordinate data.
