Towards an Effective Communication in Kenyan Long-Term Disease Patients' Care via Cybernetic- A Systematic Review | Chapter 1 | Science and Technology: Recent Updates and Future Prospects Vol. 9

 

In this paper, to effectively treat chronic disorders and improve the standard of care, effective communication between patients and healthcare professionals is essential. The aim of the study was to review the literature on how good communication might improve treatment outcomes for Kenyan patients with chronic and terminal illnesses and to determine whether Cybernetic electronic communication can improve those outcomes even more. The word Cybernetics comes from the Greek word, kybernetes, meaning rudder, pilot, a device used to steer a boat or to support human governance. Cybernetics is concerned with concepts at the core of understanding complex systems such as learning, cognition, adaptation, emergence, communication, and efficiency. We uncovered the history of treatment outcomes for chronic and terminal dis-eases in this research study, both with and without communication at the core of the patient’s care plan. We discussed the importance of good communication in the treatment of patients with chronic and terminal illnesses and why it is a momentous endeavor comparable to medical diagnosis and treatment for the long-term health of patients. To locate pertinent material for the background literature study, we carried out a comprehensive literature search. Although the preliminary literature review was a continuation of the introduction research, it also highlighted the paucity of local Kenyan literature and suggested that improved communication might help patients with chronic and terminal illnesses have better treatment outcomes. Methodology maintained the literature search, as a systematic literature review focused on the core of the study, making separate sections of the same body necessary. This ensured that a methodological literature search section is as comprehensive as possible. We used an integrated PRISM model to limit a comprehensive literature search and a systematic literature review design as part of the overall process. Non-probability sampling and snowball approaches on literary pa-pers over the previous 17 years were used in this arrangement. Since this was a multidisciplinary study, the four experts who also serve as authors were chosen from within their respective fields of expertise to design the study. They created search strategies, generated key words, looked up keywords in database engines, assessed the results of the literature using the PRISMA logical model, looked over successful literature, and triangulated their findings. The conclusions of the experts individually revealed a convergence of thoughts, beliefs, and practices. The study concluded that even though there isn’t much research done in Kenya on the same subject; what is available illustrates how crucial good communication is for patients with chronic illnesses. The study’s findings also highlighted the positive effects of effective communication between patients and healthcare professionals on treatment plan adherence, patient satisfaction, and overall health outcomes. The findings stated that to ensure truly effective communication at the center of care to patients with long-term disease, then adoption and integration of Cybernetics is supreme. The results also noted that in order to improve patient care and outcomes, Kenyan healthcare workers should underscore developing their communication skills. The study also found that the incorporation of cybernetics is crucial if truly effective communication is required so as to enable centered care for patients with long-term diseases in Kenya. The goal of Cybernetics is to activate genuinely effective communication in the care of Patients with long-term disease in Kenya. This study is organized by beginning with an abstract, followed by keywords, an introduction, literature review, methodology, findings, discussion, and finally conclusions.

Computer Integration within Problem Solving Process | Chapter 6 | Research and Applications Towards Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 8

The complexity of current software tools increases with the complexity of problem solving tasks they are designed to assist and are mainly dedicated to computer educated people. On the other hand current computer technology is deeply involved in people's everyday life. This gap deepens and stresses software technology and computer education. By computational emancipation the natural language becomes a family of non-ambiguous languages. This means that every problem solver uses a non-ambiguous natural language, termed here as Domain Algorithmic Language, DAL. Here we show how to develop software tools dedicated to the problem domain and illustrate the methodology we propose with the software tools required by teaching high school algebra.

Theoretical Frameworks of Clinical Handovers in Healthcare Settings | Chapter 11 | Research Highlights in Disease and Health Research Vol. 4

 Patient handover is the pivot for communicating patients’ information between healthcare professionals. The current study explores the hypothetical frameworks advocating corporate communication and patient handover, covering their ontology and epistemology. Clinical handover is a direct transfer of information course the transmission of clinical outline, liability and accountability 'tween healthcare professionals to help patients’ continuity of care, joint awareness of patients’ environments and planned management. Several hypothetical frameworks support the stages of handover. According to social hypotheses and the frameworks proposed in the current study, dispassionate handovers are social constructions. Handovers’ conclusive truth and form are thus achieved through constant interpersonal interplays, sharing of meanings, and allocating collective knowledge inside healthcare teams. Hence, on account of handover complexity, the author considers how different specialists use social conventions to create information about patients sharable and comprehensible to each appendage of a team or other groups, and how areas of misunderstanding are always a challenge when social constructions and handovers happen.

The Significance of Pragmatism in Educational Research: A Current Perspective | Chapter 2 | Research Highlights in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 3

 The purpose concerning this chapter is to disclose why the sensible approach is useful to educational investigators. The articles objectives will address the main contributory thinkers of Peirce, James, and Dewey; specifying the philosophy of worth, the pragmatic maxim, and allure philosophical assumptions, although theoretical position – at odds with the ontologies and epistemiologies of optimism and constructivism. A summary will then investigate how pragmatism shows phenomenological and epistemological awareness although is best thought-out a methodology. The article addresses through instance of an educational research asking how pragmatic methods does not reduce all social electronics to mere binary presumption, and how epistemologically and ontologically it varies from its competitors, in bringing to completion its research inquiry. The item concludes with a quality between the Peircean desire for possessions theorists and that of contemporary rule that it is wise to follow, whilst challenging the ulitity of specific approaches, for the benefit of the researcher and expert alike.

Developing Ontologies for Adaptive Collaboration in a Dynamic Environment| Chapter 15 | Current Topics on Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 4

 While developing new knowledge-based systems, it is usual to construct or model new knowledge-based systems. Current approaches to knowledge modelling tend to focus on the subsystem, with domain knowledge being highly dependent on the job at hand. However, task-independent knowledge bases (or "ontologies") have recently been emphasised in a number of approaches for large-scale integration. This article examines three techniques to ontology creation and uses one of them to develop an ontology for adaptive collaboration in a dynamic knowledge-sharing environment. Ontologies are mutually agreed-upon representations of a discourse domain and their backbones.

Application of Ilities for Ontology-based Systems Engineering | Chapter 10 | Recent Advances in Science and Technology Research Vol.5

 The application of ilities for the ontology-based systems engineering is investigated. Ontologies may

be used to improve the systems engineering body of knowledge. The benefits of using ontologies are
that they enable the knowledge management in terms of fundamental concepts and relationships.
Among representatives in systems engineering knowledge management, the concept of ilities becam
most critical since ilities capture one of the cores of what systems engineering is all about. This work
develops the details of how ilities play the important function in the ontology of systems engineering
and show this with examples. Prior work on ilities has emphasized or restricted their application to
system level, non-functional properties. The premise of this work is that ilities can be applied with
benefit, and in some cases out of necessity, to lower levels of systems as well. The veracity of this
premise is established by providing examples that demonstrate how some ilities are passed and used
as a non-functional property of electrical and structural subsystems in aircraft. It is further
demonstrated that flowing ilities down to the subsystem or lower levels is not only a useful practice for
systems engineers, it can also be an essential step to ensure that customer needs are actually met by
the system under design or service. Systems engineers often lack the detailed knowledge of the
subsystems or components required to translate ilities into functional requirements. Thus, the system
ilities are passed down and translated from non-functional to functional requirements by subject
matter experts. We first discuss the definition, characteristics and scope of ilities within the context of
ontology. Then, we formulate the application of ilities at a subsystem level. Next, we show aircraft
engineering examples for ilities applications. The application process is formalized with diagrams, and
ilities’ relation to ontological system architecture engineering is discussed. The work concludes with a
summary and suggestions for future work.
