Using hierarchical structurings in process design is a frequent process modeling technique. Subprocesses are a common way to enable hierarchical structuring. Current approaches have a tight view on the syntactical restrictions of subprocesses and do not investigate different autonomy properties in detail. This paper fills this gap and broadens the current subprocess definition to a spectrum of ...

Providing merging techniques for business processes fosters the management and maintenance of (large) process model repositories. Contrary to existing approaches that focus on preserving behavior of all participating process models, this paper presents a merging technique that aims at preserving the difference between the participating process models by exploiting the existence of a common pare...

Biomedical science is at an evolutionary turning point. Many of the rate-limiting steps to realizing the next generation of personalized, highly targeted diagnostics and therapeutics rest at the interstices between biomedical science and the classic, university-based disciplines, such as physics, mathematics, computational science, engineering, social sciences, business, and law. Institutes, ce...

Introduction Since the early 1960s the concept of culture has gradually gained a prominent place in a number of social sciences, like organization theory and management studies, other than its parent discipline, anthropology. Also in studies on higher education the concept of culture has been used to explain, for example, the effectiveness of universities and colleges However, as with many prom...

BACKGROUND Unintentional injury is a leading threat to children's health. Some human factors have been determined as predictor of unintentional injury. Association between Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) as a human factor and unintentional injuries is unclear. The objective of study is to examine the association between HRQOL and unintentional injuries among primary school children. ME...
