Mit Easy Knowledge steht ein erprobter Ansatz für das Wissensmanagement in KMU zur Verfügung. Unklar war bislang jedoch, ob sich dieser Ansatz auch für sehr kleine Unternehmen eignet. Am Beispiel Sondermaschinenbau wird aufgezeigt, wie ein Wissensraum auf Zulieferer und Partner ausgedehnt werden kann. Dabei wird darauf geachtet, dass die Grundsätze von Easy Knowledge, nämlich einfache Handhabun...

Aim—frailty is an emerging concept in primary care, which potentially can provide healthcare commissioners with a clinical focus for targeting resources at an ageing population. However, primary care practitioners need valid instruments that are easy to use. With that purpose in mind, we created a Frailty Instrument (FIt) for primary care based on the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in ...

Decisions are often based on the results of quantitative analysis. To gain confidence in these results, some indication of their quality is needed. Measurement uncertainty, as proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), is a way to express this quality. Most measurement techniques compare references and therefore need to be calibrated. Usually least squares methods ign...

A goodness-of-fit test for exchangeable Archimedean copulas is presented. In a large-scale simulation study it is shown that the test performs well according to the error probability of the first kind and the power under several alternatives, especially in large dimensions. The proposed test is compared to other known tests for Archimedean copulas. In contrast to the latter, the former is simpl...
