features past achievements directly analyzed by the research team of Prof. Ahn, who was responsible for research into the telemedicine program in Gangwon Province, which has the longest history in Korea and has been evaluated as the country’s most successful program [1]. Other papers cover issues pertaining to the management of chronic diseases by using a QI and agent operated through mobile El...

now days it is assumed that polygamy is inconsistent with human rights and it seems irrelevant to discuss and redefine this case. some scholars believe this is not even a hypothesis that needs justification or confirmation. according to human rights and international laws this is accepted as a fundamental right and assumes the equality of man and women . with this presupposition in mind this pa...

It is not every day that a scholar stoops to defend legislatures. Oh sure, lots of political theorists rush to the defense of democracy in the abstract, but they often have little to say about actual democratic practice. By contrast, empirical political scientists (and “positive political theorists”) have lavished attention on the institutions of democratic governance such as legislatures (part...

This paper will examine the relationship between "Data Envelopment Analysis" and a statistical concept ``Outlier". Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for estimating the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) having similar tasks in a production system by multiple inputs to produce multiple ‎outputs.‎ An important issue in statistics is to identify the outliers. In this pap...

In this study we explore two different perspectives of one ICT project. The “mainstream” believed that an educational ICT project for Taiwanese aboriginals was successful, while the local aboriginals and local teachers did not. Using ethnographic research, we investigated the possible reasons for the disparity between the views of the mainstream and the locals. Our findings indicate that the pa...

Monitoring approaches to consciousness claim that a mental state is conscious when it is suitably monitored. Higher-order monitoring theory makes the monitoring state and the monitored state logically independent. Same-order monitoring theory claims a constitutive, non-contingent connection between the monitoring state and the monitored state. In this paper, I articulate different versions of t...

Analyzing pseudo-telepathy graph games, we propose a way to build contextuality scenarios exhibiting the quantum supremacy using graph states. We consider the combinatorial structures generating equivalent scenarios. We investigate which scenarios are more multipartite and show that there exist graphs generating scenarios with a linear multipartiteness width.

Europe has become a vivid example of intergroup dynamics with all the risks and chances it holds for peaceful and respectful co-existence. While Europe as a superordinate social category has the capability of solidarity between its subcategories (i.e., nations), negative emotions and behaviors among the countries’ citizens have become more prevalent throughout the emerging crisis. This article ...

On March 20, 2006, researchers from around the world gathered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for a two-day workshop on atomistic-to-continuum (AtC) coupling analysis. The Computer Science Research Institute at Sandia National Laboratories sponsored the workshop, which was organized by Claude Le Bris (École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées), Jacob Fish (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), and Pavel ...
