Considerable research exists on providing structured access to unstructured information sources, primarily for search and query. Little attention has been placed on (1) keeping the by-products of the process (e.g., connections between structured and unstructured data are typically forgotten and context is lost), (2) developing a rich, conceptual structure for this new layer of information (e.g....

The aim of this study was to explore Swedish junior high school students meaning-making of participating in exergaming in school based on their aesthetic judgments during game-play. A transactional approach, drawing on the work of John Dewey, was used in the study and the data consisted of videoand audio recordings of ongoing video gaming. A practical epistemology analysis (PEA) was used in ord...

We develop and empirically test a labor market model with Public Employment Agencies (PEA) in order to understand why not all vacancies use the costless services provided by the PEA. We show that both the search market and the PEA can be active in equilibrium. In such an equilibrium, workers with a higher productivity have a higher chance of receiving a job offer and hence a higher value of sea...

Recent advances in high-throughput biotechnologies have led to the rapid growing research interest in reverse engineering of biomolecular systems (REBMS). 'Data-driven' approaches, i.e. data mining, can be used to extract patterns from large volumes of biochemical data at molecular-level resolution while 'design-driven' approaches, i.e. systems modeling, can be used to simulate emergent system ...

The purpose of this study is to discover variables that should be considered in the creation of a strategic knowledge and decision support system for reverse logistics. This paper addresses a gap in the Lambert model of supply chain management through refining the link between the returns management process and the overall strategy of a supply chain firm by addressing the decision as to which r...

background prostate cancer is a serious genetic disease known as the first widespread cancer in men, yet the molecular changes required for the cancer progression is not fully understood. availability of high-throughput gene expression data has led to the development of various computational methods for the identification of critical genes involved in the cancer. methods in this paper, we show ...

In this paper we present a parallel runtime substrate that supports a global addressing scheme, object mobility, and automatic message forwarding required for the implementation of adaptive applications on distributed memory machines. Our approach is application driven; the target applications are characterized by very large variations in time and length scales. Preliminary performance data fro...

The purpose of this paper is to explore narcissistic leadership and its impact on the organization. Furthermore, this paper proposes two potentially effective approaches in addressing the negative aspects of narcissistic leadership while encouraging its positive effects on organizations. These approaches, which are found in literature, include an organizational development approach as well as a...
