Abstract The theme of this dissertation is the nursing care based on humanistic-altruistic values by model of Margaret Watson. Creating conceptual models and their designation in itself was a very important progress in the field of nursing. Conceptual models of nursing are some connection among philosophy, theory and practice. Conceptual model of M. J. Watson is unique in that it focuses on self-nurses, are also among the humanist conceptual models based on the principles of humanism respecting patient rights. Foreign authors talk about the content of the model as a return to the deep roots of professional nursing and values, such as helping others, empathy, trust, finding and meeting the needs of ill people. For practical application of established M. J. Watson there are 10 factors of humanistic care. In the area of research there was carried out questionnaire survey focused on awareness of selected conceptual models of interest in nursing education courses in the area of conceptual models. In addition the conceptual model was applied by M. J. Watson, in practice, for which interviews were used the original author designed and the nurses diaries. Qualitative results were processed by using a modified approach by Ritchie and Spencer. We set two objectives. To achieve the objective to inform nurses about the conceptual model of M. J. Watson was determined by six hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: Nurses are not informed about the conceptual model of M. J. Watson. This hypothesis was confirmed. Hypothesis 2: Nurses do not use M. J. Watson conceptual model for a care of their clients. This hypothesis was confirmed. Hypothesis 3: Nurses recognize an empathy as an important ability to nurse. This hypothesis was confirmed. Hypothesis 4: The interest of nurses in training courses in the area of conceptual models vary according to the length of experience. This hypothesis was confirmed. Hypothesis 5: The interest of nurses in training courses in the area of conceptual models vary according to their age. This hypothesis was not confirmed. Hypothesis 6: The interest of nurses in training courses in the area of conceptual models varies by their educational attainment. This hypothesis was not confirmed. To consider the surprising result that although the nurses admit a lack of information on conceptual models which prevails at the lack of interest in any course in this area. To gain the objective to find out what causes the changes of nursing care are based on a conceptual model of M. J. Watson for selected nurses and clients, we realized the practical application of the model. During our research we set goals to achieve more research questions which we work. Research question 1: Will nurses in implementing nursing care according to M. J. Watson indicate greater satisfaction with their work than before? Research question 2: Will the nurses recognize the increased benefits in the way of nursing care according to M. J. Watson compared to their normal practice? Research question 3: How does the nursing care according to M. J. Watson influence the clients? Research question 4: How nurses will evaluate the success factors of ten applications of humanistic care by M. J. Watson? Research question 5: What do nurses perceive negatively when applying the model of M. J. Watson in practice? We believe we have done this work to break the barrier of lack of information in the conceptual model of M. J. Watson in the country while we described how to return to the loving care in nursing. This model leads to a nurse wondered at herself, carried out their activities at the client with respect and the build confidence. Through the humanistic factors of ten to reach a tenderness in the nursing care.

Esta di culdade normalmente decorre da normaliza ção complicada das constantes associadas com distribuições direcionais. No entanto, devido à respectiva capacidade poderosa de modelagem, distribuições esféricas continuam encontrando inúmeras aplicações. A distribuição direcional fundamental é a distribuição Von-Mises-Fisher, cujo os modelos para dados concentrados em torno de uma média. Mas para os dados que tem uma estrutura adicional, essa distribuição pode não ser adequada: em particular para os dados axialmente simétricos é mais conveniente abordarmos a distribui ção de Watson (1965), que é o foco desta dissertação. Na distribuição de Watson, são utilizados métodos tais como: ponto de corte para dist ância proposto por Cook (1977), teste de outlier para discordância proposto por Fisher et al. (1985), quantil de uma qui-quadrado proposto por Cook (1977) e distância geod ésica. As contribuições dessa dissertação são: a derivação da distância de Cook, o uso da distância geodésica para detecção de outliers e um método de calculo do ponto de corte.

IBM Watson is on the verge of becoming a milestone in computer science as it is using a new technology that relies on cognitive systems. IBM Watson is able to understand questions in natural language and give proper answers. The use of cognitive computing in parallel programming is an open research issue. Therefore, the objective of this project is to investigate how IBM Watson can help in parallel programming by using the Dialog Service. In order to answer our research question an application has been built based on the IBM Watson Dialog Service and a survey has been carried out. The results of our research demonstrate that the developed application offers valuable answers to the questions asked by a programmer and the survey reveals that students would be interested in using it.

The implementation of chatbots and service services is becoming more common. The reason for this is that they are constantly available to answer questions, no matter what time it is. To make one chatbot is not just to write questions and specific answers. Communicating with one chatbot should, as much as possible, look like communicating with another human. The purpose of this report is to create a chatbot that will be used at Luleå university of technology and that will answer questions about system science. Furthermore, the goal is to investigate which design principles should be implemented, their possible concretization, when making chatbots, and possibly coming to new principles. The method used to make the chatbot is Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM). DSRM focuses on solving the problem by creating an IT artifact, which in this case is a chatbot. The result of this work is a created chatbot and design principles that were implemented during the development process.
