This work-in-progress examines culture’s consequences on routine knowledge sharing behavior. It employs two complementary cross-cultural theories to develop an integrative model of culture and habitual system use in the context of knowledge management. More specifically, using the Theory of Basic Human Values and the Theory of IT-Culture Conflict, we posit that such cultural values as an emphas...

We use the functional renormalization group and the [Formula: see text]-expansion concertedly to explore multicritical universality classes for coupled [Formula: see text] vector-field models in three Euclidean dimensions. Exploiting the complementary strengths of these two methods we show how to make progress in theories with large numbers of interactions, and a large number of possible symmet...

Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) are putative endogenous sleep-promoting substances. Evidence is reviewed showing that, 1) GHRH and IL-1 promote non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS); 2) if their production is enhanced, sleep is enhanced; and 3) if they are inhibited using either specific antibodies or peptide antagonists, sleep is reduced. Both are in the brain a...

Emotion eliciting situations are accompanied by changes of multiple variables associated with subjective, physiological and behavioral responses. The quantification of the overall simultaneous synchrony of psychophysiological reactions plays a major role in emotion theories and has received increased attention in recent years. From a psychometric perspective, the reactions represent multivariat...

We share an interest in language. We want to understand it, its origins, structure, functions, use, acquisition, instruction, and change. We seek causes for observed effects. Scientific studies of language representation and competence and of language acquisition and use are complementary. Yet these two theoretical enterprises have traditionally been kept distinct, with models of representation...

The paper presents a parallel between two important theories for the treatment of information which address questions that are apparently unrelated and that are studied by different research communities: an enriched view of formal concept analysis and abstract argumentation. Both theories exploit a binary relation (expressing object-property links, attacks between arguments). We show that when ...

In view of the recent and future electroweak precision data accumulated at LEP and SLC, we systematically analyze possible new physics effects that may occur in the leptonic sector within the context of SU(2)R × SU(2)L × U(1)B−L theories. It is shown that nonobservation of flavour-violating Z-boson decays, lepton universality in the decays Z → ll̄, and universality of lepton asymmetries at the Z...

Abstract Geography occupies a central role in The Murderer’s Ape (2014/2017), Swedish children’s novel by Jakob Wegelius. Drawing on theories of critical literary geography, the article is an analysis novel’s geography and exploration how narrative shapes produces place space. shows that both represents challenges colonial power structures through production Methodologically, three complementar...

We examine the potential of constraining possible nondecoupling effects of heavy neutrinos and Higgs bosons at LEP and SLC that may show up in the nonoblique part of the Zl i l j couplings. We analyze this type of new-physics interactions within the context of low-energy scenarios motivated by unified theories, such as the Standard Model (SM) with neutral isosinglets, the left-right symmetric m...

There is considerable excitement about the notion of 'Web 2.0', particularly among Internet businesspeople. In contrast, there is an almost complete lack of formal literature on the topic. It is important that movements with such energy and potential be subjected to critical attention, and that industry and social commentators have the opportunity to draw on the eCommerce research literature in...
