Investigation on the awareness of Greek Citizens regarding the Electronic Health Records
No full textAbstract: Purpose - This paper aims to examine Greek citizens' awareness regarding the necessity of transitioning from the traditional medical record to the Electronic Health Record. The present study attempts to investigate the degree to which the citizens of Greece know the use and the value of the Electronic Health Record and to study their opinion that the EHR can ensure data security and increase their knowledge regarding their health. Design/methodology/approach - The research methodology was based on bibliographic and qualitative tools to achieve the above purpose. As a research tool was chosen a questionnaire with closed-ended questions. The sample consisted of 100 Greek citizens who were selected through a random sampling method. For the data analysis, the statistic software SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 23 was used. Restrictions - The study is subject to certain restrictions, in particular, due to the way the questionnaire is distributed via e-mail, which means that it is aimed at citizens who have access to the internet and the use of e-mail. Another limitation is that the sample comes from the region of Attica and not from all regions of Greece, a fact that may have affected the results of the research, as the citizens of the decentralised areas may be less informed about the Electronic Health Records. In addition, another limitation is the inability of health professionals to collect data, which does not allow clear conclusions to be drawn regarding the use of EHR and the benefits of using it to upgrade health services. Findings - Women agree more than men that the Electronic Health Record will contribute to saving time, cost, and error reduction in the medical system (p-value=0,008) and that the Electronic Health Record guarantee a better, more reliable and faster organisation of health care. (p-value=0,005). An interesting finding is that the younger participants with higher education levels had a more positive opinion about the advantages arising from the implementation of the Electronic Health.

COVID-19 and the Libraries: What is left for Private Copying Exception? - A Greek Copyright Law approach
No full textThe present paper deals with copying, which is a tool that renders users’ access in library’s physical material more efficient as it allows users to repeatedly access, i.e., study the copied material portably, without the need of repeated physical presence within opening hours of libraries’ premises and without reserving the physical medium during their presence. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, what is left for private copying except for the library’s physical material, when the only available alternative for users is distant or no access to the library’s collection? This paper questions whether Greek Copyright Law in force would accommodate the realization of “distant private copying” of library’s physical material by users, especially in view of the fact that in situ access of users has been prohibited or suspended by law
Development of an educational research software with advisory role in the clinico-biochemical evaluation of hyponatremia
Full text linkBackground: Τhe diagnosis of hyponatremia is not always easy due to the diversity of underlying disease states associated with the condition.Objectives: The aim of the present study was to develop a novel, free, simple stand alone educational research software (ERS) to assist students of medicine and healthcare sciences in understanding the diagnostic evaluation of hyponatremia. Μaterials and methods: The software was designed using: a) Microsoft Windows as operating system, b) C# .NET (4.0) as software component (plug-in), and c) C# (C Sharp) as (object-oriented) programming language. It can be distributed on Compact Disk (CD) and be run on any Personal Computer (PC) on Windows.Results and discussion: The developed software-which we have called DHS (Delimaris Hyponatriemia Software) v.1.0- doesn’t demand special skills and expertise in computers. When the user logs into the system, a default page becomes visible with data in Greek language. Its instructional advantages (reasoning for usage) include mobilizing the user’s interest, encouraging remembrance of the necessary teaching material, supporting training guidance and evaluation, practice over the timetabled program, and skill estimation.Conclusions: The free (ERS) could be a advantageous training tool in medical and healthcare education. Prospective work should center on additional assessment of its accuracy, its practicality on the teaching procedure and its approval by the healthcare students or professionals

Citation indexes integrated management for Institutional Repositories data enrichment
No full textPurpose – An important problem for researchers and for agencies (e.g., Quality Assurance Units) that are responsible for evaluating the research activity of academic entities (e.g., laboratories, departments, entire institutions, etc.) is to locate and retrieve the bibliographic records (e.g., scientific papers) and their citations automatically from the various citation indexes.Design/methodology/approach - To calculate uniform bibliometric indicators, the deduplication of the documents collected from the different citation indexes is required. In addition, such a tool could assist the academic libraries in upgrading their Research Repositories with auto-enrichment capabilities, saving valuable labour time from their staff. Findings - In this context, the initial results of implementing such a tool for data extraction from the four popular citation indexes (Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science and PubMed) and the ORCID service are presented. The tool aims to provide integrated management of multiple citation indexes, namely the collection of data per researcher and the application of deduplication algorithms so that a list of unique publications is obtained for each one of them. The processed data are combined with the data of the Institutional Repository and converted into a suitable format for ingestion.Originality/value - The Institutional Repository of the Cyprus University of Technology has been selected as a testbed. All universities can undoubtedly utilize the obtained results
Seeking for the evolutionary history of lands based on ontology organized spatiotemporal data and reasoning tools
No full textAbstract: The present study focuses on spatiotemporal historical data organized in an OWL Protégé ontology environment. It aims at exploring the possibilities of using deduction logic tools in correlating alternate names of geographic regions related to time periods and presenting spatiotemporal interconnections. The application paradigm includes spatial data of local regions and sites of contemporary Greece and Turkey related to Hellenic historical archaeological sites temporally distributed in an extended period from Neolithic Age to the 19th century. The results are presented through advanced visualization tools embedded in the Protégé environment. Purpose: The present study focuses on spatiotemporal historical data organized in an OWL Protégé ontology environment. It aims at exploring the possibilities of using deduction logic tools in correlating alternate names of geographic regions related to time periods and presenting spatiotemporal interconnections. Design/methodology/approach: Methodology follows the systematic review paradigm and includes the development of a protocol for the following elements. Protocol for the inclusion of different types of entities. Protocol for the ways of standard use and expansion, in this case TNG and AAT vocabularies. Protocol for the description of entities within the ontological framework and finally a set of rules for the selection of vocabularies and authority tools. Literature search was conducted grouped in units to the corresponding protocols and likewise research results were tested per protocol. Findings: The central idea of this study was the exploitation of embodied Deduction Logic tools in an ontology environment in order to reveal evolutionary history topics (as the relation of historical named entities based on their temporal features), as well as to connect historical monuments to places described by their real then used name apart from their contemporary identification. Originality/value: The work could have a practical informational application as its ability to connect to google maps and Wikipedia and other linked data can turn it into a useful information tool. This work can also be used as a paradigm for cooperation between humanities and computational semantics, since there are a lot of available techniques that can enrich the information research and retrieval in digital humanities repositories, leading to the emergence of ‘hidden’ treasures in contexts not studied and exploited yet
