This paper presents the Parcel Dispatching System as an eeective classroom example for teaching (a) how to nd the proper objects, (b) the diierence between analysis and design objects, (c) advanced concepts like packaging and collaboration, and, nally, to provide the students (d) with a holistic view of object-orientation. The example is introduced as an instance of the Holistic Nutshell Patter...

The unit-decade compatibility effect has challenged the model of holistic number magnitude processing, suggesting decomposed processing of multi-digit numbers. Recent evidence confirms that decomposed processing of decade and unit magnitudes occurs in parallel. However, the mode of presentation of multi-digit numbers may affect the processing mode (holistic vs. decomposed, parallel vs. sequenti...

In this paper we consider the dimensions of mobile Energy and Power Management (EPM), outline an EPM design, and elaborate holistic EPM opportunities for battery-operated mobile devices. We argue that a holistic EPM design can offer significant increases for battery lifetime. Our argumentation is based on a number of cases that illustrate how energy consumption can be reduced by opportunistical...

Although intentionality has been implicated as a causal variable in healing research, its definition has been inconsistent and vague. The objective of this grounded theory study is to develop a substantive theory of intentionality in a naturalistic encounter between nurse-healers and their healee-clients, and to consider the implications for practice and research. Six expert nurse-healers and s...

In this position paper we present the FP7 ERC starting grant project iHEARu (Intelligent systems’ Holistic Evolving Analysis of Real-life Universal speaker characteristics). This project addresses several fundamental shortcomings in state of the art methods for computational paralinguistics, by introducing holistic analysis, evolving learning of features and models, and collection of real-life,...

The goal of a distributed computation algorithm is to determine the result of a function of numerical elements, which are distributed in n multi sets.It is known that computation of holistic aggregation functions on distributed multi sets indeed requires more work than non holistic aggregation functions. But with this article we will prove that the computation of a holistic function, which name...

Datacube queries compute simple aggregates at multiple gran-ularities. In this paper we examine the more general and useful problem of computing a complex subquery involving multiple dependent aggregates at multiple granularities. We call such queries \multi-feature cubes." An example is \Broken down by all combinations of month and customer, nd the fraction of the total sales in 1996 of a part...

Biological processes involve a variety of spatial and temporal scales. A holistic understanding of many biological processes therefore requires multi-scale models which capture the relevant properties on all these scales. In this manuscript we review mathematical modelling approaches used to describe the individual spatial scales and how they are integrated into holistic models. We discuss the ...

OBJECTIVE To identify factors that hinder discussions regarding chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) between primary care physicians (PCPs) and their patients in Sweden. SETTING Primary health care centres (PHCCs) in Stockholm, Sweden. SUBJECTS A total of 59 PCPs. DESIGN Semi-structured individual and focus-group interviews between 2012 and 2014. Data were analysed inspired by gro...
