Sustainable development is a contested concept, with theories shaped by people’s and organizations’ different worldviews, which in turn influence how issues are formulated and actions proposed. It is usually presented as the intersection between environment, society and economy, which are conceived of as separate although connected entities. We would argue that these are not unified entities: r...

In this study the measurement and structural equivalence was tested across two instruments, the original Dutch version of the Competentie-Beleving Schaal voor Kinderen (CBSK) and a shortened and simplified version of the same test across different ages. The CBSK is intended for children between 8 and 12 years old. The shortened version is developed for children aged between 6 and 8 years old. T...

Difficulties with access to ICT and an inadequate use of them risk to increase exclusion of the elderly population and to make the socio-cultural and inter-generational gap greater than it has ever been. Online learning environments based on social networking could not only give an opportunity for individual cultural growth, but also for conceiving a range of practical applications of great soc...

The likelihood of developing cancer during one's lifetime is approximately one in two for men and one in three for women in the United States. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death and accounts for one in every four deaths. Evidence-based policy planning and decision making by cancer researchers and public health administrators are best accomplished with up-to-date age-adjusted site-speci...

In this research the focus lies on metropolitan regions, located around 30 Informational World Cities, which are prototypical cities of the knowledge soci...

Let m,n, and k be integers satisfying 0 < k 6 n < 2k 6 m. A family of sets F is called an (m,n, k)-intersecting family if ([n] k ) ⊆ F ⊆ ([m] k ) and any pair of members of F have nonempty intersection. Maximum (m, k, k)and (m, k + 1, k)-intersecting families are determined by the theorems of Erdős-KoRado and Hilton-Milner, respectively. We determine the maximum families for the cases n = 2k − ...

This study addresses the role of soil moisture and its interaction with the overlying atmosphere in setting up climate anomalies over South America during El Niño years using observations as well as Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) simulations. It is found that during summertime land–atmosphere interaction is instrumental in setting the spatial pattern and sign of surface air temper...
