Blood.Health.FOAF: Extending FOAF with Blood Ontology
Blood is the life in our vessels. It makes up the 8% of our body weight. Loss of blood from 750 ml to 2000 ml is enough to enter us to shock condition due to loss of circulating volume. In situations like these, urgent blood transfusion needs to be handled with extensive care. Not all emergency services may have haematology experts, a good helper application with blood transfusion rules that also determines the possible donors for each patient is necessary. In this paper, we present blood ontology that is an extension of FOAF ontology to serve as a core service of blood transfusion process. We had researched the possible blood transfusion rules of different health organization all over the world and highlight the blood transfusion rules. These rules are embedded to a ontology structure includes blood, FOAF and Relationship ontologies. This ontology structure not only serves as storage for patient and donor information, but also as a knowledge extraction structure to determine the possible donors and help doctors in treatment.
Historias de mi barrio: contemporary art in a community at high risk of social exclusion
Abstract Historias de mi barrio is a piece of pedagogic research aimed at highlighting the way art can articulate the relationship between the educational context and a neighbourhood at high risk of social exclusion. The starting point for this study was to ask whether this type of research, centred around the arts, was suitable in complex contexts and whether it might eventually lead to pedagogic improvement. The results gathered, and indeed the work carried out by the artists and university lecturers involved, together with pupils 6–12 years old and their instructors in a state school, provide evidence of a positive answer – and notably of the necessity of knowing about the socio-economic reality of the student cohort when planning learning projects and of the importance of the arts as a crucial element in education.
