Skill Transferability, Regret and Mobility After graduation many students start working in sectors not related to their field of study or participate in training targeted at work in other sectors. In this paper, we look at mobility immediately after graduation from the perspective that educational choices have been made when these pupils had little experience of the actual working life in these...

Determining whether research findings from one setting are relevant to another is complex and poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the factors affecting whether research from other settings was perceived to be of potential use to those working in or researching maternal health in Ghana. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 69 purposively sampled government decision-makers, r...

BACKGROUND The effects of health promotion interventions are the result not only of the interventions themselves, but also of the contexts in which they unfold. The objective of this study was to analyze, through stakeholders' discourse, the characteristics of an intervention that can influence its outcomes. METHODS This case study was based on semi-structured interviews with health promotion...

The transferability of genome specific sequence tagged microsatellite sites (STMS) primers from V. unguiculata (cowpea), V. radiata (mung bean) and V. angularis (adzuki bean) to all major pulse yielding taxa belonging to tribe Phaseolae was examined. The adzuki bean derived primers amplified microsatellites from majority of accessions analyzed in this study; whereas mung bean and cowpea derived...

Despite the diverse calls for transferability in IS research, most IS qualitative research studies still pay little attention to the potential applicability of their results in other social contexts (settings). We argue that one way to support the assessment of transferability is to characterize the deep features of the research setting. The two main premises of this paper are that although in ...

The utility of species distribution models for applications in invasion and global change biology is critically dependent on their transferability between regions or points in time, respectively. We introduce two methods that aim to improve the transferability of presence-only models: density-based occurrence thinning and performance-based predictor selection. We evaluate the effect of these me...

We introduce a novel conditional e-cash protocol allowing future anonymous cashing of bank-issued e-money only upon the satisfaction of an agreedupon public condition. Payers are able to remunerate payees for services that depend on future, yet to be determined outcomes of events. Moreover, payees are able to further transfer payments to third parties. Once payment complete, any double-spending...

We regard a path as a train moving on a graph. A graph G is called n-transferable if any path of length n can be moved to any other such path by several steps. We will show that every planar graph with minimum degree at least three is at most 10 transferable.
