The construals listed below have been implemented using the JS-EDEN interpreter, currently still under development. A Firefox or Chrome browser is required.



The PVMI Construal: A Construal of Plasmodium Vivax Malarial Infection

This was generated for illustrative purposes in connection with the abstract:

'A Conception Of Computing With Promise For Medical Education'
presented at the 5th International Online Medical Conference (IOMC 2012).

The construal can be accessed by clicking here and selecting the project entitled 'Malaria'.

Details of how to use and interpret the construal and of the principles of EM behind it can then be found by clicking on the tab marked "HTML Output".




Variants of the PVMI Construal

Variants of the PVMI construal were generated for illustrative purposes in connection with the paper:

'Mediating Intelligence through Observation, Dependency and Agency in Making Construals of Malaria'
in the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS 2012, Chania, Crete).

These construals can be accessed by clicking here and selecting the project entitled 'MalariaITS'.

Brief details of the observables and dependencies in these construals can be found by clicking on the tab marked "HTML Output".




A simple construal in the form of an animated diagram

A construal derived from the depiction of the Life Cycle of a Malaria Parasite published online by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was featured in the paper:

'Construals to Support Exploratory and Collaborative Learning in Medicine'
in the proceedings of the workshop on Intelligent Support for Exploratory Environments (ISEE 2012) held in conjunction with ITS 2012, Chania, Crete.

The construal can be accessed by clicking here and entering the following into the JS-EDEN Input Window:
