ion levels, called reusable assets, these elements have to be stored in an adequate repository [4,5]. The supported abstraction levels are requirements level, design level and implementation level. Around the a reuse model has been defined, which is articulated over three edges, the technical model, the process model and the qualification model. The technical reuse model presents a duality comp...

Value-added Tax versus Social Security Contributions In order to alleviate unemployment it is often recommended to reduce social security contributions (SSC) and to compensate for the ensuing loss in revenues by a rise in the value-added tax (VAT). Assuming unemployment to be caused by efficiency wages, it is shown that a balanced-budget shift from a payroll tax to a VAT will increase employmen...

We consider a classical risk model with the possibility of reinsurance. Moreover, in one of the models also investment into a risky asset is possible. The insurer follows the optimal strategy. In this paper we find the Cramér-Lundberg approximation in the small claim case and prove that the optimal strategy converges to the asymptotically optimal strategy as the capital increases to infinity. 1...

This article presents the rationale behind an important enhancement to a socio-technical model of organisations and teams derived from military research. It combines this with empirical results which take advantage of these enhancements. In Part 1, a new theoretical legacy for the model is developed based on Ergonomics theories and insights. This allows team communications data to be plotted in...

In day-to-day practice it is not unusual to encounter male patients in their 50s or older who come to physician for loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, unexplained fatigue, behavioral problems, loss of muscle mass and some times unexplained bony fractures. These symptoms can be vague and can vary a lot among individuals. Some men find it difficult to admit that there’s even a problem. And oft...
