In the present study of 80 volunteer counselors who cared for terminally ill patients, the authors examined the relationship between burnout as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (C. Maslach, S. E. Jackson, & M. P. Leiter, 1996) and the 5 basic (Big Five) personality factors (A. A. J. Hendriks, 1997): extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and intellect/auto...

Teachers’ conceptions of giftedness influence which students they identify as gifted and how they behave towards these students. Research findings are mixed, showing an overall positive, negative, or ambivalent view that considers gifted students as intellectually strong, but socio-emotionally inferior. Such misconceptions might lead teachers to focus on their students’ perceived socio-emotiona...

Further, even though it is intellectually accepted that we have methodological means to combat these factors and provide benefits during the evolutionary process, development managers still choose short term goals over these long term benefits. Given a choice between getting a system out as early as possible and doing a proper design that will evolve gracefully, the first is invariably chosen a...

the fullerton longitudinal Study is a contemporary prospective investigation that spans approximately a quarter of a century. commencing at age 1, children and their families were systematically followed every 6 months from infancy through preschool and annually at ages 5 through 17. they were again assessed at age 24. the course of development for intellectually and motivationally gifted child...

Extensive research has shown that person-centered learning aiming at students’ development on the levels of intellect, skills, and attitudes is effective in face-to-face education. More recently, advances in web-technology let us ask: Is humanistic, person-centered learning also effective along the application of modern technology? In this contribution we reflect 10 years of research at the Uni...

The open and fragmented nature of IS research has spawned a vibrant debate about sustainability of the IS discipline. Intellectually stimulating and rooted in a rich repertoire of approaches, the debate is frequently polarized along a dialectical spectrum, where advocates take positions on appropriate boundaries and audiences for the discipline. With the objective of reframing this debate, and ...

In this article we describe the OAUC’s participation in the CLEF 2016 SBS Search Suggestion track. We are trying to represent appeal elements, used in readers’ advisory theory and practice, to see if they can be used in an automatic retrieval and recommendation context. We are still working with the pace appeal element, used in fiction to capture how quickly the buildup of the story or the plot...

It is often claimed that Margaret Cavendish was an anti-experimentalist who was deeply hostile to the activities of the early Royal Society—particularly in relation to Robert Hooke’s experiments with microscopes. Some scholars have argued that her views were odd or even childish, while others have claimed that they were shaped by her genderbased status as a scientific ‘outsider’. In this paper ...

Scientific workflow (SWF) system is gradually liberating the computational scientists from burden of data-centric operations to concentration on their decision making. However, contemporary SWF systems fail to address the variables when scientists urge to deliver new outcomes through reproduction of workflow, including not only workflow representation, but also its “context” of use. Thus, curre...

Consider the two classic focus environments in (1) and (2), and notice that the pronouns he and his are generally constrained to refer to Sherlock. In (1), he must refer to Sherlock in order for the response to properly answer the question; and in (2), his refers to Sherlock in order to maintain the contrast between the phrase Sherlock’s intellect and the phrase his patience. For the rest of th...
