Language01:16

Language

904
Language is a unique communication system that uses words and systematic rules to organize and transmit information. Unlike other forms of communication, which may involve postures, movements, odors, or vocalizations, language relies on symbols and grammar. This makes human communication distinct from that of other species, who also communicate but do not use language in the same way humans do.
Corballis and Suddendorf (2007) and Tomasello and Rakoczy (2003) highlight the role of language in...

Components of Language01:24

Components of Language

809
Language, whether spoken, signed, or written, consists of specific components: lexicon and grammar. The lexicon is the vocabulary of a language, comprising its words. Grammar is the set of rules used to convey meaning through the lexicon. For example, English grammar adds “-ed” to most verbs to indicate past tense. Words are formed by combining phonemes, which are the basic sound units of a language. Different languages have different sets of phonemes (e.g., “ah” vs.

Language Development01:22

Language Development

892
Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

763
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

3.8K
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

26.3K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Data Management
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Healthcare data integration is challenging due to heterogeneous metadata schemas.
  • Existing metadata repositories have limited interoperability, hindering data exchange and reuse.
  • A standardized approach is needed to harmonize metadata across diverse systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define a uniform interface for metadata repositories (MDRs) to facilitate metadata exchange and querying.
  • To enable cooperation and data integration across distributed medical research systems.
  • To address the shortcomings of existing MDR implementations.

Main Methods:

  • Leveraging the ISO 11179 international standard for metadata representation.
  • Developing a GraphQL schema (QL4MDR) compatible with ISO 11179-3.
  • Implementing a uniform interface using GraphQL's query and mutation capabilities.
  • Creating a web-based interface prototype for a reference implementation (Samply.MDR).

Main Results:

  • QL4MDR provides a standardized data model and query language for MDRs.
  • The interface supports searching, creating, updating, and deleting metadata.
  • A functional prototype demonstrates the feasibility of the uniform interface.
  • Facilitates metadata access, interaction, and connection of existing repositories.

Conclusions:

  • A uniform query interface combining ISO 11179 and GraphQL has been developed.
  • The QL4MDR approach enhances metadata accessibility and interoperability.
  • This work provides a foundation for connecting heterogeneous metadata repositories.
  • Encourages adoption by other ISO 11179-compliant metadata repositories.
