Effective reuse and recycling of end-of-life (EOL) products are essential for improving resource efficiency and protecting environment. Currently, many parts of construction machinery in EOL stage can still be reused directly because they are designed with extreme high strength to meet the bad working conditions, which minimizes the impact on the environment. In this context, a quality evaluation approach for reuse parts is proposed in this paper. Ontology model is built for representing evaluation information with semantic properties and constructing the semantic relevance among the various concepts involved in parts reusing domain, thus achieving the integrating, sharing, and reusing of evaluating parts knowledge. On that basis, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is put forward to quantify the reusability degree of the parts of EOL construction machinery. Furthermore, combined with ontology, rule-based-reasoning method is utilized to get suggested strategies for reuse parts. In addition, a web-based system is developed to assist manufacturers in managing reuse parts, and a case study is analyzed to demonstrate the proposed quality evaluation approach.

Systematic Mapping Review

Abstract. Background: Suicide may have disruptive and/or devastating effects on family, friends, and the broader community. Of late, increased interest from suicide researchers has given rise to an upsurge in research productivity addressing suicide bereavement and postvention. At this critical juncture, the establishment of an agenda will help guide the direction of future scholarly research in this field. Aims: To conduct an exhaustive systematic mapping review and bibliometric analysis of peer-reviewed suicide bereavement and postvention research published over the past 50 years. Method: A comprehensive and strategic search of electronic databases and web-based search engines for original research studies was conducted resulting in the identification of 443 articles. Results: Since 1965, the global research activities in the field of suicide bereavement and postvention is approximately 8.86 papers per year. There remains a lack of evaluation studies on the effects of interventions/programs with the majority of papers being explanatory in nature. Several areas of study within this field remain neglected. Limitations: While the search strategy was rigorous, potential limitations exist due to nonstandardized nomenclature and English language only inclusion, which inherently favors research from high-income countries. Conclusion: Suggested topics for a research agenda are proposed from the current limitations in the field.

The Relationship

Working on active learning strategies for web based courses, the Biochemical Education Research groupfrom USP and Unicamp;s departments of Biochemistry has developed the educational software Obesity:the new metabolic frontier. The software was designed to be used as a major reference to study thissubject on 2003 Biochemistry of Nutrition course, and was based on the most recent publications aboutobesity, specially concerning the leptin role in this metabolic disturb. The most relevant characteristicof this software is the use of animated models to represent the cellular response and the presentationof many other mechanisms involved in obesity. We also intended to focus the relationship betweenleptin and other mechanisms that lead to obesity. The teaching strategy consisted in providing thestudents with the software and a text about Obesity. After few days, they should discuss the topic ina two-hour synchronous discussions chat-rooms (specially designed for this purpose), with a TeachingAssistant;s (TA) help. After the discussion, the students were asked to answer an evaluation surveyabout the activity and the software ecience to the learning process. The TAs were asked to evaluatethe software as a tool to help in teaching process. In the following week the students had to go backto the chat-rooms for an online synchronous test. The results of this experience (students and TAssatisfaction) were very clear and stimulated us to go on with software development and to improvethe use of this kind of educational tool in Biochemistry classes.

E Learning

Among different branches of human knowledge and sciences, engineering, like medicine, is more involved in practical and daily-life aspects where the virtual utilities and educational software can be utilized to consummate the practical features of engineering education. Furthermore the virtual environment of e-learning courses can provide cheaper, safer, more comprehensive and more inclusive approaches to engineering educational material. The aim of this case is to count the requirements of engineering education and to accord the facilities and inadequacies of e-learning as training technique in engineering instruction.
