This study presents the concept of innovation pedagogy, which is a pedagogical approach developed for the universities of applied sciences. Innovation pedagogy emphasises efficient learning and the institution’s external impact on regional development. It is based on customer-oriented and multi-field needs of working life; integrates applied research and development and entrepreneurship with ed...

This paper summarizes some recent research pertaining to laboratory markets, and then discusses some of the implications of this research for applied economics and policy. Three results are discussed: (a) In one-sided markets where sellers post prices price-tracking response to demand shocks is very poor; (b) Despite the prominence of the Cournot model as a centerpiece for applied research, it ...

BACKGROUND Deception detection has been a longstanding concern throughout human history. It has also interested scientists, who have explored psychological and behavioral differences between liars and truth tellers, as well as ways to improve detection accuracy. METHOD In recent years, substantial advances have been made in the field. Some of these advances are briefly reviewed in the current...

T h e Internet presents nearly endless possibilities for accessing research that can then be used in practice. As described in a previous column (Wilkas, 2002) careful evaluation of a given Web site is crucial. This column addresses research utilization and using the Internet to assist with applying research to clinical practice. One of the greatest advantages of using the Internet for research...

The influence of the food industry on the development of the scientific investigation of nutrition is of particular current interest, since it has been proposed that industry, in general, should shoulder more of the burden of financial support for basic research in the UK. It is apposite, therefore, to enquire whether the track record of the food industry gives confidence that it will accept a ...

The present status of neutron beam production techniques above 20 MeV is discussed. Presently, two main methods are used; white beams and quasi-monoenergetic beams. The performances of these two techniques are discussed, as well as the use of such facilities for measurements of nuclear data for fundamental and applied research. Recently, two novel ideas on how to produce extremely intense neutr...

The paper serves as background material for the review of debated issues and standpoints in the theory and application of Islamic economics, IE; and for discussion of fruitful research avenues in application of IE to modern economies. The focus is on six areas: (1) theory: links between IE and mainstream economics; while topics (2) to (6) treat applications of the given directives in Islamic ec...

We argue that the rationalization gains often predicted by static applied general equilibrium models with imperfect competition and scale economies are arti ̄cially boosted by an unrealistic treatment of ̄xed costs. We introduce sunk costs into one such model calibrated with real-world data. We show how this changes the oligopoly game in a way signi ̄cant enough to a®ect, both qualitatively and q...
