Collaborative Economy: Market Design and Basic Regulatory Principles

Regulatory Fit and Persuasion: Basic Principles and Remaining Questions

How can researchers and practitioners use regulatory fit theory to increase the effectiveness of their attempts to change attitudes and behavior? In this article, we extract from the literature a set of basic processes by which fit can influence persuasion and describe different methods for inducing fit. Regulatory fit can influence persuasion by: (i) making message recipients feel right during...

Dynamics and Design Principles of a Basic Regulatory Architecture Controlling Metabolic Pathways

The dynamic features of a genetic network's response to environmental fluctuations represent essential functional specifications and thus may constrain the possible choices of network architecture and kinetic parameters. To explore the connection between dynamics and network design, we have analyzed a general regulatory architecture that is commonly found in many metabolic pathways. Such archit...

Transition to a Market Economy: Some First Principles

Collaborative systems & Shared Economy (Uberization): Principles & Case Study

In the paper we analyze the characteristics of collaborative systems & the characteristics of shared economy supporting systems. Uberization as present in many applications: Airbnb, Uber, BlablaCar, AMAP, circular economy, etc. needs cooperative system support. We examine this approach from the point of view of ICT and, more specifically, HMI (Human Machine Interaction) and CSCW (Computer Suppo...

Study design in fMRI: basic principles.

There is a wide range of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study designs available for the neuroscientist who wants to investigate cognition. In this manuscript we review some aspects of fMRI study design, including cognitive comparison strategies (factorial, parametric designs), and stimulus presentation possibilities (block, event-related, rapid event-related, mixed, and self-drive...
