Η είσοδος της πληροφορικής στην ζωή μας ήταν καθοριστική πόσο μάλλον και στον τομέα της Υγείας. Τα σύγχρονα Πληροφοριακά Συστήματα Νοσοκομείου (ΠΣΝ) διαδραματίζουν σημαντικό ρόλο στη βελτίωση των υπηρεσιών υγείας και στην καθημερινή διευκόλυνση τόσο του νοσοκομειακού προσωπικού όσο και των πολιτών. Η χρήση αυτών απλοποιεί τις υφιστάμενες διαδικασίες λειτουργίας των μονάδων υγείας, ελαττώνει τον καθημερινό φόρτο εργασίας, βελτιώνει σημαντικά τις συνθήκες εργασίας του προσωπικού και μειώνει αισθητά το χρόνο αναμονής του ασθενή. Παρόλα αυτά στη χώρα μας η εφαρμογή τους στα δημόσια νοσοκομεία εμφανίστηκε σταδιακά και ακόμα και σήμερα η χρήση τους δεν είναι ευρέως διαδεδομένη. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αρχικά περιγράφεται η δομή και τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά ενός Πληροφοριακού Συστήματος Νοσοκομείου. Στην συνέχεια, εξετάζεται η εφαρμογή και η χρήση ενός συγκεκριμένου Πληροφοριακού Συστήματος ‘ΑΣΚΛΗΠΙΟΣ™ HOSPITAL’ στο Νοσοκομείο του Μεσολογγίου όπου και έχει εγκατασταθεί. Για την εργασία αυτή πραγματοποιήθηκε έρευνα στο Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Μεσολογγίου «ΧΑΤΖΗΚΩΣΤΑ» με σκοπό τη διάγνωση προβλημάτων στην ανάπτυξη και την εφαρμογή του Πληροφοριακού Συστήματος ‘ΑΣΚΛΗΠΙΟΣ™ HOSPITAL’ προκειμένου μελλοντικά να επιλυθούν. / The entry of information into our lives was decisive let alone into the field of health. Current Hospital Information Systems (HIS) are significant and imperative in improving health services and facilitate daily both hospital staff and citizens. Using these simplifies the existing operating procedures of health facilities, reduces the daily workload, significantly improves the working conditions of staff and reduces the waiting time of patient. However, in our country their use in public hospitals has been appeared progressively and even today is not widespread. In this present diploma thesis, it is given a description of the structure and the main characteristics of a Hospital Information System (HIS). Then, is considered the application and the use of a specific Information System 'ASKLIPIOS ™ HOSPITAL' into Hospital of Messolonghi where has been installed. Within elaborating this paper a survey has been conducted in General Hospital of Messolonghi « HATZIKOSTA » with purpose of diagnosing problems in the development and implementation of the Information System 'ASKLIPIOS ™ HOSPITAL' in order future to be resolved.

The aim of this study was to explore the validity of the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS) in an African context. This 240-item self-report questionnaire that measures 24 character strengths (Peterson & Seligrnan, 2004), was developed in a western individualistic context, and it cannot be assumed to be valid in African contexts without prior scientific evaluation. The current study, a first step in the evaluation of its validity in an African context, focussed on psychometric properties such as reliability, mean scores and variance, criterion-related validity, confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses, as well as translatability. In a cross-sectional survey design an availability sample of African students (N=256) completed the original English version of the VIA-IS and other criterion-related measures of psychological well-being and health, during facilitated group sessions. The latter scales were the Affectometer 2 (Kammann & Flett, 1983), the Fortitude Questionnaire (Pretorius, 1998), the Sense of Coherence Scale (Antonovsky, 1987), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, et al. 1985), and the General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg & Hillier, 1979). Translation of the VIA-IS into Setswana and back-translation were conducted and evaluated by a research evaluation committee. Results indicated that mean scores of the VIA-IS subscales are relatively aligned with those in a western context. Twenty of the twenty-four VIA-subscales showed satisfactory Cronbach alphas reliability indices above .70. The VIA-IS satisfies criterion-related validity as indicated by positive correlation with life satisfaction, positive affect, fortitude and sense of coherence, and negative correlation with negative affect and symptoms of ill-health. The VIA-IS was found to be translatable with preservation of original meaning, but in some instances technical terms had to be borrowed. Second order confirmatory and exploratory principal component factor analyses on the 24 strengths yielded three significant factors, and not six as theoretically expected, in this African group. The three emic virtue clusters are 1) Wisdom, knowledge and courage, 2) Horizontal and vertical relatedness and 3) Integrity in a group context: temperance and justice. This clustering of virtues reflects a socio-centric, collectivistic African cultural value system. It is concluded that the VIA-IS may have merit in an African context, but is not completely valid in its original form with its hypothesised six value clusters. With modifications and adaptations a more valid version may be developed for an African context. Studies on randomly selected, larger African samples are recommended. / Thesis (M.Sc.

One of IS engineering problems – are analyses and simulation, in order to define users informative needs. Activity knowledge accumulation method and part of the system has been realized grounded on workflow models. System prototype has been created to extend CASE environment activity knowledge basis. The part of the system will be directly used by analysts, who will simulate the activity of computerized organization, trying to collect and analyze users information requirements. This work is a part of the scientific research “IS engineering method grounded on knowledge” carried out in the department of IS. Information systems engineering is started by the analyses of activity area – workflow model sequences of analyzed processes are made. Workflow model sequences transforming method has been created, that checks completeness and sequence of the data collected. Such checked by created methods and located in CASE system knowledge basis activity model will be called activity knowledge structure. In the storage of CASE system professional knowledge in accumulated and collected using modified work sequence models. The completeness of the information collected is checked using professional knowledge and completeness checking algorithms – information shift, data separation elimination of the breakpoints, function structure setting and import. The activity knowledge accumulation has been programmed. Information data accumulation and completeness checking algorithms are realized... [to full text]

The aim of this master work is to create flexible information system, based on the up-to-date technologies and tailored to the users’ needs. The information system aims to facilitate work, presentation of the information and customers’ service. Joint-stock company “Švaros komanda“ offers waste disposal facilities for citizens and companies. The main goal of this project is to computerize workplace of manager. The data will be stored in the database, created by using Access 2002. The information system helps to solve these goals: • To make contracts with customers; • To create the timetables; • To fix services; • To collect the data from posts ant banks and to import into data base; • Accounts control. The usage of system will simplify system administrator functions and will reduce level of mistakes.

The main goal of these thesis is : to carry out all organization process that must be computerized. There are some processes which man cannot carry out withuot special software. The main critical proces is financial control of contracts. Contract begins with signing between our handing organization and customers. Each contract consists of terms and good‘s that must be delivered at time. The name of thesis „long term... „ says that contract conditions are exercised in parts. Goods are been delivered in parts and payment is been getting in parts too. So there are many contracts, and the man is unable to control all its himself. So our software must do financial contract control : to mark parts of good of each contract, allow to see every condition of contracts, and allow to solve the problem of goods identification (BAR codes), because our organization is an agent in trading range. We made our software, theretofore did analysis of excisting software, software that can be partially useful for us and can be upgraded using our functional requirements. We used to modificate typical agreement data model by Len Silverston and use it to transform to DB schema (realationships). Our software (projecting and coding) is made using these tools : Rational Rose, MS Visio, Borland Delphi, MS Access and MS SQL Server.

Sparčių socialinių, technologinių ir ekonominių pokyčių veikiamoje Europoje mokymasis visą gyvenimą tapo būtinybe. Nuotolinis mokymas(-is) (NM) puikiai sprendžia strateginių švietimo sistemos siekių įgyvendinimą, sukuriant mokymosi galimybes ir efektyvesn�� mokymo(-si) procesą, užtikrinant lankstesnį mokymo(-si) veiklos organizavimą. Naujai atsirandančioms NM formoms turi būti taikoma kokybės kriterijų bei rodiklių sistema, o NM turinio kokybė turi būti įvertinama prieš kiekvieną mokymo(-si) organizavimą. Lietuvoje parengtos NM turinio kokybės vertinimo metodikos leidžia įvertinti jo kokybę prieš jo akreditaciją, tačiau pasirinktų NM turinio realizavimo formų ir NM turinio projektavimo strategijos efektyvumas ir poveikis mokymo(-si) organizavimo procesui lieka neįvertinti. Mokymo(-si) turinio kokybės vertinimo proceso metu neužtikrinama konstruktyvaus mokymo(-si) samprata, nes nėra įvertinama, ar NM turinys leis mokymo(-si) organizatoriams savarankiškai veikti individualiose, nenumatytose situacijose mokymo(-si) organizavimo metu. Tačiau kokybės vertinimo metodika negali būti parengta kol nėra nustatyti ir apibendrinti veiksniai, įtakojantys NM turinio kokybę Disertacijoje projektuojamas NM turinio kokybės reflektyvus vertinimo modelis sujungia NM turinio projektavimo ir mokymo(-si) organizavimo procesus. Tyrime nagrinėjamos NM turinio projektavimo teorijos, identifikuojamos turinio kokybės vertinimo dimensijos, operacionalizuojami kokybės vertinimo veiksniai, kurių...

Qualitative training and learning process is influenced by many factors that should be carefully examined during the curriculum design phases, as well as during the learning/ teaching process. Distance learning and teaching is the efficient means to implement strategic aims of the system of education: to create learning possibilities for all society members, to contribute to designing effective learning/ teaching process, as well as to ensure more flexile organization of learning activities. While new distance learning/ teaching forms are getting more and more popular, they should be reviewed regularly applying a consistent quality evaluation methodology based on quality criteria and indicators, and distance learning/ teaching curriculum quality should be examined before each learning/ teaching process. There are some examples of quality assessment methodology prepared for distance learning/ teaching curriculum assessment in Lithuania on practical level allowing assessing distance learning/ teaching curriculum quality before accreditation procedure, however, such factors as analysis of other existing resources for realisation of curriculum online, effectiveness of chosen curriculum design and factors, influencing learning/ teaching process having the current design options, are not assessed at all.

För att undersöka eventuella skillnader mellan vilka matematiska kompetenser som prövas på IB-programmet och svenska nationella program har en analys av matematikuppgifter från de olika programmen genomförts. På IB-programmet har uppgifter från final exam i mathematical studiesstandard level gjorts och från de svenska en analys av uppgifter från nationella prov i matematik B och C. Analysen har genomförts med hjälp av kompetensramverk framtaget av Palm et al. (2004). Med hjälp av kompetensramverket har nyckelord och uppgiftstyper för de olika kompetenserna tagits fram för att kategorisera in uppgifter till en kompetens som är kärnan i uppgiften. Resultatet av studien visar på att det finns en skillnad mellan proven som analyserats då proportionerna av kompetenser som prövas skiljer sig åt mellan proven. Dock går det inte att göra en generalisering då det ej går att utesluta att det är slumpen som gett skillnaden i de analyserade proven. Vid ett större stickprov skulle det kunna vara möjligt med en generalisering om frekvensen av kompetenser som prövas är densamma.

In my master graduation paper I researched the sub-cultural peculiarities effects of information and communication technologies for children of 5 – 7 years old. The effects for children groups upbringing conditions and their remit expression, comparing two different abilities while using computer. Estimated that, rapid process of information society, information and communication technology development necessitate preschool children age, capable using information technologies, becoming phenomenal in Lithuanian educational space. The upbringing quantity and quality of children information technologies are determined by their upbringing conditions in the family and institution, which are directly dealt with family materially conditions, educational level of their parents, resource of institutions, and professional readiness of educators to adapt technologies in children upbringing process. Estimated significant, statistic reliable computer technologies, children cognitive, their creatively contemplation and communicating connection trend, which stimulate their cognitive interests, motivate later life research in different ways and means. It gives specifications to children’s creative process and spread. It also develops linguistic, contemplation skills and the development of social interplay. Computer technologies, as a mean of 5 -7 year old children motivation expression, creates contemporary, modernised upbringing environment, which stimulates children scopes’ process and...

After the restoration of Lithuanian independence, it has become a necessity to learn the Lithuanian language for many citizens of Lithuania, whose native language is not Lithuanian. In the schools of national minority children with special needs also have to learn the state language. As it is observed in practice, not all children with special needs come to school with perfect knowledge of their native language, so we can presume that these children encounter with a lot of difficulties, arising from their surrounding factors, while learning the state language. This work is performed to reveal the peculiarities of teaching and learning the state language to schoolchildren, having special needs, at national minority school. Two groups of respondents took part in this research: Lithuanian language teachers of national minority schools and children with special needs. Analysis of the research has shown that the number of schoolchildren with special needs integrated into national minority schools is increasing. The Lithuanian language teachers of national minority schools do not have enough knowledge about teaching non-native language to schoolchildren with special needs. However, the educators’ attitude towards these schoolchildren is positive. A lack of special language teaching devices, textbooks is felt while educating children with special needs, so the teachers differentiate and constantly prepare individual tasks for these schoolchildren. The state language learning... [to full text]
