This paper introduces the narrative network as a device for representing patterns of “technology in use.” The narrative network offers a novel conceptual vocabulary for the description of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and their relationship to organizational forms. We argue that as ICTs have become increasingly modular and recombinable, so have organizational processes and f...

In this paper we study topology of the variety of closed pla-nar n-gons with given side lengths l1,. .. , ln. The moduli space M ℓ where ℓ = (l1,. .. , ln), encodes the shapes of all such n-gons. We describe the Betti numbers of the moduli spaces M ℓ as functions of the length vector ℓ = (l1,. .. , ln). We also find sharp upper bounds on the sum of Betti numbers of M ℓ depending only on the num...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience difficulty with expressive language, including form (e.g. grammatical construction) and content (e.g. coherence). The current study aimed to investigate the effect of methylphenidate-Osmotic Release Oral System® (MPH-OROS®) on the narrative ability of children with ADHD and language impairment, thr...

Style and strategies in EFL learning contexts and the effects of task types were explored to enhance language learning strategies. Using a quantitative pre-test, post-test design and interviews, this study investigated the effects of procedural and declarative learning strategies on EFL learners’ acquisition of English past tense performing narrative tasks. The participants were 396 male and fe...
