The present study used data from the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation (MLSRA) to investigate how multiple dimensions of childhood abuse and neglect predict romantic relationship functioning in adulthood. Several dimensions of abuse and neglect (any experience, type, chronicity, co-occurrence, and perpetrator) were rated prospectively from birth through age 17.5 years. Multime...

this paper investigates the stability analysis of fuzzy relational dynamic systems. a new approach is introduced and a set of sufficient conditions is derived which sustains the unique globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point in a first-order fuzzy relational dynamic system with sumproduct fuzzy composition. this approach is also investigated for other types of fuzzy relational composit...

Branching bisimulation with explicit divergence, introduced by van Glabbeek and Weijland, is an important relation between processes. It is the weakest equivalence relation which is a branching bisimulation and at the same time divergence preserving. Like branching bisimulation, it has two major characterizations in the literature: a relational characterization and a coloured trace characteriza...

Previous research has suggested that the conceptual representation of a compound is based on a relational structure linking the compound's constituents. Existing accounts of the visual recognition of modifier-head or noun-noun compounds posit that the process involves the selection of a relational structure out of a set of competing relational structures associated with the same compound. In th...

In this paper we present a research project aiming at the design and development of an Object–Relational Data Warehousing System (ORDAWA). The project is conducted in co–operation of Institute for Informatics–Systems, Klagenfurt University, and Institute of Computing Science, Poznań University of Technology. Important goals of the project are to develop techniques for the integration and consol...

This article examines a systemic innovation model into which the relational approach of actor-network theory (ANT) has been incorporated. The article examines what the relational approach can contribute to the conceptualization of services and to the co-development and co-design activities of them. The article operates in the context of public welfare and health services, but its analysis might...

Supply chains are prone to disruptions and associated risks. To develop capabilities for risk mitigation, supply chains need to be flexible. A flexible supply chain can respond better to environmental contingencies. Based on the theoretical tenets of resource-based view, relational view and dynamic capabilities theory, the current study develops a relational model of supply chain flexibility co...
