Working with innovation is important in several sectors and industries. One emerging arena for innovation is the arrangements of innovation contests. The aim of the paper is to describe and characterize an open innovation contest for improving healthcare, and to address the challenges involved. The research is a qualitative, explorative and interpretive case study of a Swedish region providing ...

This article provides a critical, cautionary stance toward the future structure of “Internet studies” as a field. A social constructionist reading of the process of organizing reveals the ways in which apparently obdurate structures are constructed and negotiated through everyday discursive practices. Subsequent structures and practices function ideologically to control organizational members i...

The remote control of robots, known as teleoperation, is a non-trivial task, requiring the operator to make decisions based on the information relayed by the robot about its own status as well as its surroundings. This places the operator under significant cognitive load. A solution to this involves sharing this load between the human operator and automated operators. This paper builds on the i...

Almost since its inception, teacher education has suffered from doubts about its value to teachers. Outside observers have asked, usually skeptically, whether teacher education makes a difference, and teacher educators themselves have wondered what they have been able to accomplish and how they could accomplish more. Presumably, research could help both teacher educators and teacher education p...

The landforms and landscapes discussed in this book developed in a variety of terrains, which together express the diversity of the geological background of the Brazilian territory. Located essentially in the old and relatively stable nucleus of the South American plate (known as the South American platform), Brazil comprises seven major categories of tectonic units, which are as follows: crato...

Bifurcations of dynamical systems described by several second order differential equations and by an impact condition are studied. It is shown that the variation of parameters when the number of impacts of a periodic solution increases, leads to the occurrence of a hyperbolic chaotic invariant set.

To date, the utilitarian benefits of online consumption have only been partially investigated. This study undertakes an exhaustive approach to fully delimit the dimensional structure related to the utilitarian motivations for online consumption. First, an in-depth literature review is carried out, in order to allow the proposal of an aprioristic base structure of eleven categories of utilitaria...

Human labeled corpus is indispensable for the training of supervised word segmenters. However, it is time-consuming and laborintensive to label corpus manually. During the process of typing Chinese text by Pingyin, people usually need to type "space" or numeric keys to choose the words due to homophones, which can be viewed as a cue for segmentation. We argue that such a process can be used to ...
