Purpose: In a dynamic world with high customer demands and volatile markets, organisations need to adapt changes in context. Agile methods constitute well-recognised framework for software companies. The current study looks into how these are applied their perceived strengths. problem formulation the is: What experiences agile methods?
 Methodology: methods
 Findings: Four themes emer...

We examined effects of preflection, action, and reflection sessions on youth experiences during a 4‑H travel camp. The camp was one component GLOBE, 2-year Texas 4-H program with intentional goals advancing understanding agriculture, poverty, world cultures. In morning preflection sessions, the 28 participants were instructed to take photographs their day according themes aligned 1 2 program’s ...

A challenge in digital content marketing is to create meaningful messages on moments. To do so, brands frequently align social media with topical moments, also known as Real-time Marketing (RTM). While RTM aims make connections, the creative development subject time pressure due its real-time nature, which could have a negative effect originality and craftsmanship, two other creativity dimensio...

Terms such as exploitation, exploration, intensification and diversification are routinely employed in the metaheuristic literature to explain empirical runtime performance. Six prevalent views on exploitation and exploration are identified in the literature, each expressing a different aspect of these notions. The consistency and meaningfulness of these views are substantiated by their deducib...

1. Under what conditions would DBS be preferable to conventional PD therapy: L-DOPA + antipsychotic (i.e. Nuplazid)? It seems to me that the surgery must carry with it substantial risks (it is brain surgery after all). In trials of DBS, what fraction of patients see a benefit? What is the clinical meaningfulness of this benefit? And how does it weigh against the risks of the surgery and other R...

2. There are results of a new type (described in Luce, Krantz, Suppes, & Tversky, 1990; Narens, 1985), less well known than those of Krantz, Luce, Suppes, and Tversky (1971), about which Cliff makes no comment. These results should be of broad interest in psychology for two reasons: They provide a shelf of nonadditive representations that can be drawn upon along with the traditional additive an...

In this study we investigate the significance of textual document which is now commonly recognized by researchers for better management, smart navigation, well-organized filtering, and finding the results. The challenging part is to extract the meaningfulness and to manage the purpose of the “best” Mining Rule .This research study is proposed to refine the Mining Rule from textual data set by p...

This study explores how neural network models can simulate word production in second language (L2) learners. A neural network was trained to simulate L2 word production using a variety of word properties related to connectionist networks (hypernymy, polysemy, concreteness, and meaningfulness). The study demonstrates that a neural network can produce words to a similar degree as L2 learners. The...

Document clustering is becoming an increasingly popular technique for identifying relationships in unstructured text. In this paper, we attempt to make sense of the output of a clustering algorithm applied to software engineering research papers. We introduce a notion of cluster “stability” as a measure of the meaningfulness of a cluster. We assess its usefulness and limitations in identifying ...

Clustering methods are commonly applied to time series, either as a preprocessing stage for other methods or in their own right. In this paper it is explained why time series clustering may sometimes be considered as meaningless. This problematic situation is illustrated for various raw time series. The unfolding preprocessing methodology is then introduced. The usefulness of unfolding preproce...
