Due to a shortage of IT professionals, many companies intensify their efforts to be perceived as attractive employers in this field, especially by means of social network sites (SNS) such as Facebook. However, it is unknown whether these presences do really attract IT professionals, and if so, whether this is more due to the utilitarian (job search related) characteristics or to the hedonic (en...

Serious mental illnesses (SMI) and problems with parenting are associated, but the link between change in psychiatric symptoms and change in parenting over time has not been examined. Three hypotheses were tested. Hypothesis 1: As symptoms decline, parenting stress will decline and parenting nurturance will improve. Hypothesis 2: High prior levels of symptoms have a continuing impact on parenti...

Introduction D eveloping compelling stories is perhaps the most important mission of the qualitative information systems researcher. Indeed, our discipline ‘has a powerful story to tell about the transformational impact of information technology’ (Agarwal and Lucas, 2005: 381), and I am sure that we all feel that we would like to contribute. A powerful story can inform and explain. A powerful s...

This article investigates whether a reflexive portfolio is instrumental in determining the level of acquisition of clinical competences in traumatology, a subject in the 5th year of the degree of medicine. A total of 131 students used the portfolio during their clinical rotation of traumatology. The students' portfolios were blind evaluated by four professors who annotated the existence (yes/no...

In this paper, we address a novel problem of cloning a patch of the source spherical panoramic image to the target spherical panoramic image, which we call 360◦ panorama cloning. Considering the sphere geometry constraint embedded in spherical panoramic images, we develop a coordinate-based method that directly clones in the spherical domain. Our method neither differentiates the polar regions ...

A cornerstone of the task switching literature is the finding that task performance is typically slower and more error-prone when the task switches than when it repeats. So far, deception research has largely ignored that such cognitive switch costs should also emerge when switching between truth telling and lying, and may affect the cognitive cost of lying as reflected in higher prefrontal bra...

We examine the relationship between resource abundance and several indicators of human welfare. Consistent with the existing literature on the relationship between resource abundance and economic growth, we find that resource-abundant countries tend to suffer low levels of human development. While we find no support for a direct link between resources and welfare, there is an indirect link that...

It was hypothesized that both sensitizers and repressers exceed those individuals falling in the middle of the distribution with respect to frequency and severity of illnesses. The 1st investigation utilized 2 independent samples of undergraduates (N= 173 and 319) who were given the Repression-Sensitization (R-S) Scale and a health survey. Though there was no support for the curvilinearity hypo...

The management of grid is differing from that of individual system and current Internet. A novel model on network management--Dynamically Constructed Network Management (DCNM) is proposed. Maybe it could give a good suggestion to management on grid. The network services and applications are treated as “soft equipment” managed by the NMS thus all the resources in the network can be managed under...

BACKGROUND Drug literature evaluation has been taught at pharmacy schools in the United States, allowing pharmacy students to learn how to read clinical literature critically. In advanced pharmacy practice experiences, preceptors often assign pharmacy students to journal clubs in which they repeatedly train how to read such literature. This enables them to understand the importance of reading c...
