The impact of algorithms on everyday life is ever increasing. Medicine and public health are not excluded from this development -algorithms in medicine do not only challenge, change and inform research (methods) but also clinical situations. Given this development, questions arise concerning the competency level of prospective physicians, thus medical students, on algorithm related topics. This paper, based on a master's thesis in library and information science written at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, gives an insight into this topic by presenting and analysing the results of a knowledge test conducted among medical students in Germany.
Goethe’s essay Einfache Nachahmung der Natur, Manier, Stil is steeped in an analogy: The life science of botany serves as an aesthetic foil, botany and art are set in parallel – to show how Goethe develops this, and what it implies, is the aim of this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
