The paper proposes a framework for the integration of leadership and followership. An integral orientation considers that leadership is constitutively linked with followership and vice versa. Facing the diversity of approaches and theories in both fields, a comprehensive conceptualization is presented that is suited to investigating complex, interrelated processes of leading and following. Base...

Temporal logic, in particular, interval logic has been used to represent genome maps and to assist genome map constructions. However, interval logic itself appears to be limited in its expressive power because genome mapping requires various information such as partial order, distance and local orientation. In this paper, we first propose an integrated formalism based on a spatial-temporal logi...

Nowadays, in order to reach minimum production cost in machining operations, various optimization methods have been proposed. Since turning operation has different parameters affecting the workpiece quality, it was selected as a complicated manufacturing method in this paper. To reach sufficient quality, all influencing parameters such as cutting speed, federate, depth of cut and tool rake angl...

Data warehousing has largely developed with little or no reference to ObjectOriented Software Engineering (OOSE) [1]. This is consistent with (a) its development out of two-tier client/server relational database methodology, and (b) its character as a kind of high-level systems integration, rather than software development, activity. Data Warehousing assembles components, rather than creating t...

Hoare and He’s Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP) is a framework that facilitates the integration of relational theories. None of the UTP theories of object orientation, however, supports recursion, dynamic binding, and compositional method definitions all at the same time. In addition, most of them are defined for a fixed language and do not lend themselves easily for integration with othe...

Service orientation has become a buzzword in research and practice during the last years. Enterprises consider investing in service-oriented architectures to increase the reuse of their existing software and to decrease development time and costs. On the one hand, standardization committees have advanced to define many layers of technical standards that are to become the technical backbone of a...

Triggered by budgetary challenges and growing awareness of social needs, recent years have seen increasing entrepreneurial behaviour in the nonprofit sector, which collaboration with for-profit organizations is a case point. Yet, while extant research has extensively studied orientation (EO) organizations, scant attention been paid to its manifestations cross-sector context from perspective, ev...

Very little research has examined the psychological adjustment of gay men in mixed-orientation marriages (MOMs) – a marital union wherein one spouse is sexual minority person (e.g. gay/lesbian, bisexual) while other heterosexual. Examining men’s MOMs provides insights into how identity intersects with relationship dynamics to shape mental health heteronormative societies. Based on survey respon...
