The notion of Common Information Spaces (CIS) is extensively used as a framework to analyse cooperative work. Drawing on recent contributions to the discourse on CIS, this paper develops a perspective on how information is shared in heterogeneous contexts. We study the introduction of an electronic nursing plan in the psychogeriatric ward at the University Hospital of North Norway. The plan was...

We verify the following three basic results on the free loop space LM . (1) We show that the set of all points, where the fundamental form on LM is nondegenerate, is an open subset. (2) The connections of a Fréchet bundle over LM can be extended to S1-central extensions and, in particular, there exist natural connections on the string structures. (3) The notion of Christoffel symbols and the cu...

sorts. Still more important and hopeful is the tendency through freer methods to give children an opportunity of pursuing their daily activities of work and play in such a way as to allow them unconsciously to find and maintain their own rhythm, physical, emotional, and intellectual. The various experiments in the schools of to-day, where a " free time-table " within the bounds of law and order...

Results: A total of 5321 laboratory requests comprising 4506 malaria parasites (MP), 414 urine microscopy, culture and sensitivity (urine m/c/s), and 410 blood culture were made, processed and reports generated. Of these, 1040 (19.6%) were not collected or delivered to the requesting physician. Urine m/c/s with 37.9% (157/414) accounted for the highest test-specific non-collected reports, close...

A distinguishing feature of hypermedia applications is the possibility of navigational access by the user. Although this type of access can be an advantage, there many problems associated with it, for example user disorientation ("lost in hyperspace"). This paper presents the concept of navigational context, which is used to design the navigation structure of a hypermedia application. Navigatio...

Jesus’ kind of leaders have influence because they are learners. Their classwork with The Rabbi is never dismissed. Jesus invites, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart...” (Matt. 11:29, italics mine). Because the “take my yoke” command gets more attention than the “learn from me” command, it’s worth considering a few points as to how learning relates to ...

If a Lie group acts on a manifold freely and properly, pulling back by the quotient map gives an isomorphism between the differential forms on the quotient manifold and the basic differential forms upstairs. We show that this result remains true for actions that are not necessarily free nor proper, as long as the identity component acts properly, where on the quotient space we take differential...

We introduce a new knowledge operator called ``knowing whether.'' Knowing whether an event occurred means either knowing that it occurred or knowing that it did not occur. We demonstrate the following difference between ``knowing whether'' and ``knowing that.'' In a multiple agent model, a sequence of events generated by successively applying ``knowing that'' operators, or their negations, may ...

Both nulling and subpulse drifting are poorly understood phenomena. We probe their mechanisms by investigating how they interact in PSR B0809+74. We find that the subpulse drift is not aliased but directly reflects the actual motion of the subbeams. The carousel-rotation time must then be over 200 s, which is much longer than theoretically predicted. The drift pattern after nulls differs from t...
