We describe a case of fatal acute liver failure due to echovirus 9 in the setting of persistent B-cell depletion and hypogammaglobulinemia 3 years after rituximab therapy. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing further specified the etiologic agent. Early recognition may provide an opportunity for interventions including intravenous immunoglobulin and liver transplantation.

This paper presents an agent-based simulation tool that enables researchers to study entrepreneurial strategies, their associated financial payoffs, and their knowledge creation potentials under different environmental conditions. Opportunity recognition processes can be analyzed in detail both on a microand macro-level.

This is the second well documented case of paraneoplastic Cushing's syndrome arising from a small cell carcinoma of the endometrium described in English literature. This tumour has an aggressive biological behaviour and early detection provides the only opportunity for long-term survival. In that regard recognition of associated paraneo- plastic features might be helpful.

Purpose This article addresses the need for further conceptual development of factors that influence entrepreneurial mindset. It focuses on finding a link between classic mental models entrepreneurship and those are employed during video game play to explore if similarities exist. Design/methodology/approach Using theories opportunity recognition, study examines sample 217 gamers. Findings The ...

Three dimensional user interfaces can help users in time-critical situations to improve their ability to solve problems. But they also may distract them from fulfilling their tasks with efficiency and effectiveness. This requests to control and limit the distraction caused by usage of those interfaces. Therefore it is necessary to measure and compare distraction caused by three dimensional user...

This position paper describes the Activity-Based Computing (ABC) project which has been ongoing in Denmark since 2003. Originally, the project took its outset in the design of a pervasive computing platform suited for the mobile, collaborative, and time-critical work of clinicians in a hospital setting. Out of this grew a conceptual framework, a set of six ABC principles, and a programming and ...

The 9/11 suicide attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, triggered a number of security responses both in the United States of America and other Countries in the World. Kenya, which is an ally and a close partner to North America and Europe, was not left behind. While many states had been parties to numerous terrorism conventions, their response in implementing them had been sl...

Cognitivism has dominated mainstream psychology for decades, but lately its position has been weakened. It has been criticized not only by behavior analysts but also by social and evolutionary psychologists, neuroscientists, and authors who are or used to be cognitivists themselves. At the same time, psychologists and neuroscientists in several fields are now rediscovering the necessity of unde...

We study the impact of style investing on the market for corporate control. We argue that a firm may choose to boost its market value by merging with a firm that belongs to a style that is more favored by the market. By using data on the flows in mutual funds, we construct a measure of neglectedness, which relies directly on the identification of sentiment-induced investor demand, rather than b...
