Classification of photon devices of “Barva” series

Abstract

Korobov – V. Korobov photon therapeutic devices of “Barva” series, using LED as the light sources, which generate light with different wavelengths (colors), have been increasingly used in medicine for the recent years. The devices of “Barva” are constantly being upgraded in order to improve their performance and expand the range of pathologies, for the prevention and treatment of which they are intended.

The basis for conceptual modeling of the subject area is information analysis, and primarily of genus- species relations definitions, in order to identify the elements of the subject area, their essential (material) properties, and relationships.

Systemological method of conceptual modeling of the subject area is based on functional systemology of systems and classes of noospheric stage of science development and aims to build a classification corresponding to the criteria for atural classification (systematics). Based on these criteria, the studied objects are ordered to identify their natural connections and further systematic study.

The paper presents a systematic method of analysis for construction of the conceptual classification model of the subject are (software) based on the natural classification, consisting of several stages.

Systemological terminological analysis of software includes the identification of aggregate terms, denoting objects and processes of this area, ie the terms for concepts that describe this software (categorical, general and individual) with subsequent analysis of the revealed initial set of terms to determine its degree of approximation to the term system for completeness, connectivity and functionality of aggregate terms, corresponding to the initial set of terms.

Systemological conceptual analysis of software includes the definition of the place (role) of the software in the broader software that in is super-system (or super-systems) of this software and the corresponding undefinable concept or concepts (single category or multiple categories, taking into account several aspects of the review of this software); definition of the functional properties of this software system, which are for each selected super-system (category).

Systemological classification analysis of software includes a variety of base construction of a classification model (scheme) of the software (the corresponding identification of functional feature of the software systems from the point of view of a certain super-system for this software); ensuring that the generic- specific relationship between the concepts of the software generic-specific relationships between their species differences in the classification of the selected plane.

Systemological classification analysis of software includes selection of the base for construction of a classification model (pattern) of this software (corresponding to the identified functional feature of this software systems towards certain super-system for this software); ensuring compliance of the genus-species relationship between this software concepts to genus-species relationship between their generic differences in the selected area of classification.

Analysis of the “phototherapy devices” software resulted in the following conclusion: now there is no classification of photon therapeutic devices of “Barva” series.

In the study, a set of terms denoting objects and processes of “phototherapy devices” software has been defined. We performed the analysis of the defined set of terms for presence of genus-species definitions for all concepts, corresponding to the terms. We have revealed the terms, which correspond to the concepts that reflect the functional properties of this software systems. The reviewed set of terms has been optimized – we eliminated intersections, contradictions and gaps.

Conclusions. The resulting classification model is parametric (includes properties of objects), and there phototherapy devices are ordered based on their differences in essential characteristics. Fragment of objects classification is isomorphic to the developed fragment of classification of exposure methods, which are generic differences, corresponding to the object and definite place in parametric classification of phototherapy devices. The developed classification can be deepened and expanded without changing the classification structure.

The developed classification is a systematics of knowledge in the considered software and this is a base of ontology of photon therapy devices, implemented in a Protégé software tool. These findings can be used in medicine and other relevant fields, promote more efficient use and widespread application of A. Korobov – V. Korobov photon therapy devices of “Barva” series.
