Heuristic Method to Improve Systematic Collection of Terminology

2016

In this paper, we propose an experimental tool for analysis and graphical representation of glossaries. The original heuristic algorithms and analysis methods incorporated into the tool appeared to be useful to improve the quality of the glossaries. The tool was used for analysis of ISTQB Standard Glossary of Terms Used in Software Testing. There are instances of problems found in ISTQB glossary related to its consistency, completeness, and correctness described in the paper.

Proposal for Using a Standardized Terminology on Oxygen Transport to Tissue

1985

The aim of the present proposal is to recommend some definitions of important and frequently used terms in the field of oxygen transport to tissue. The latest glossary on this topic is dated 1973 and was published by the International Union of Physiological Sciences (J. Appl. Physiol. 34, 549 – 558, 1973). In the meantime, some of these definitions are either outdated or are used in another sense.

Precision Medicine in Oncology: Glossary of Relevant Scientific Terms

2021

The conventional oncological approach was defined in the past as “one size fits all” and the tumors were treated according to the localization and the histopathological features. One of the future challenges in the field of oncology is the integration of translational research and technology innovation, in order to clarify unexplored aspects of the biology and the genetics of tumors, to develop a personalized treatment based on the molecular characteristics of the patient and his disease, that is the principle of precision medicine. New multidisciplinary teams are needed to ensure the integration of different professional profiles, including oncologists, pharmacologists, geneticians, and pa…

Die neurotische Depression - Eine Krankheit ohne Diagnose oder eine Diagnose ohne Glossar?/ Neurotic depression – a disease without a diagnosis or a …

2003

With the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 the diagnosis of neurotic depression was omitted. Freyberger showed that this diagnosis in the ICD-10 was replaced mainly by the diagnoses of dysthymia, recurrent depression and depressive episode (with this ranking of frequency). A renowned German psychiatrist criticized this change as replacing an unsubstantiated dichotomic with an unsubstantiated dimensional model. The same was the case with the change from DSM-II to DSM-III: Torgersen criticized here that the heterogeneous diagnosis of neurotic depression was basically replaced by the similarly heterogeneous diagnosis of major depression. The underlying rationale behind the omission of the tradit…

Glossary of terms used in photocatalysis and radiation catalysis (IUPAC Recommendations 2011)

2011

This glossary of terms covers phenomena considered under the very wide terms photocatalysis and radiation catalysis. A clear distinction is made between phenomena related to either photochemistry and photocatalysis or radiation chemistry and radiation catalysis. The term “radiation” is used here as embracing electromagnetic radiation of all wavelengths, but in general excluding fast-moving particles. Consistent definitions are given of terms in the areas mentioned above, as well as definitions of the most important parameters used for the quantitative description of the phenomena. Terms related to the up-scaling of photocatalytic processes for industrial applications have been included. Thi…

Preface

2018

The essays collected in these two volumes provide evidence of Patrizia Lendinara’s wide expertise and her impact in distinct academic fields, ranging from late antiquity to the early and late Middle Ages. The papers are offered as a tribute to Patrizia’s scholarship by colleagues from Italy and abroad, some of whom were once her students. The theme of this Festschrift was chosen in view of the honouree’s keen interest in and contribution to the study of the glosses and the lexicon of Germanic languages. Accordingly, although the essays collected in these volumes vary quite widely in both style and structure, they all ultimately focus on the various facets of glossography and lexicography of…

Aesthetics
