Workflow management systems (WFMSs) need to adapt dynamic process modifications. In current WFMSs the scope of dynamic modifications is mainly focused on control flow, while other dynamic aspects are neglected. In this paper an approach to adapt dynamic modification in workflow participant assignment (WPA) is presented. The approach extends the meaning of WPA that is proposed by the Workflow Ma...

In a previous article in KT Update (Dijkers, 2014), the development of meta-analysis (MA) was sketched from (1) meta-analysis of individual study findings (e.g., means and standard deviations, correlations) reported in the literature, to (2) meta-analysis of individual subject data harvested from the published literature, to (3) merging of datasets from multiple studies that share subject popul...

Why do we assign grades to students who participate in a business simulation or game? Is it because grading has been the only way to have students commit the necessary time needed to effectively participate in the simulation? Is the grade supposed to represent a how well the student’s product or firm performed (either by profits or by some combination of factors called firm performance)? Or is ...

The ultimate goal of therapeutic exercise is to return the injured participant to pain-free and fully functional activity. For this to be accomplished, attention must focus on modulating pain and restoring normal joint range of motion (ROM), kinematics, flexibility, muscular strength, endurance, coordination, and power. Furthermore, cardiovascular endurance and strength must be maintained in th...

BACKGROUND The Nuremberg code defines the general ethical framework of medical research with participant consent as its cornerstone. In cluster randomized trials (CRT), obtaining participant informed consent raises logistic and methodologic concerns. First, with randomization of large clusters such as geographical areas, obtaining individual informed consent may be impossible. Second, participa...
