While there is a considerable body of literature on symbolic boundaries that engages with long-established/newcomer configurations, work conviviality has only rarely taken this angle, despite its general focus contexts immigration-related diversity. This article connects these works by examining insider-outsider configurations between long-established residents and newcomers in two very differe...

Constraint-based scheduling is an approach for solving real-life scheduling problems by stating constraints over the problem variables. By providing generic constraint satisfaction techniques on one side and specialised constraints on the other side, constraint programming achieves a very good generality and efficiency and thus it becomes very popular in solving real-life combinatorial (optimis...

Under stress conditions, apoptogenic factors normally sequestered in the mitochondrial intermembrane space are released into the cytosol, caspases are activated and cells die by apoptosis. Although the precise mechanism that leads to the permeabilization of mitochondria is still unclear, the activation of multidomain pro-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family, such as Bax and Bak, is evidently ...

BACKGROUND No study has investigated whether newcomers to professional soccer have a different injury rate than established players. PURPOSE The primary objective was to investigate whether being a newcomer to professional soccer influences injury rates. The secondary objective was to evaluate whether playing position and player age influence injury rates. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level o...

• How to provide culturally competent care. • Health issues that are more common in newcomers. • Availability of local community resources and how to help patients connect with them. • Health care coverage eligibility for immigrants and refugees, including the Interim Federal Health Program for refugees and provincial coverage, if available. Policies at local hospitals or clinics concerning eli...

Online communities are increasingly important for both the businesses and the general public that uses them. However, current IS research on online communities has a limited view of these groups, treating them primarily as information repositories, where people participate by seeking or contributing knowledge. This paper argues that online communities are also social systems with which people f...

Pollinators, such as bees, often develop multi-location routes (traplines) to exploit subsets of flower patches within larger plant populations. How individuals establish such foraging areas in the presence of other foragers is poorly explored. Here we investigated the foraging patterns of pairs of bumble bees (Bombus terrestris) released sequentially into an 880m2 outdoor flight cage containin...
