‎motivated by a celebrated theorem of schur‎, ‎we show that if~$gamma$ is a normal subgroup of the full automorphism group $aut(g)$ of a group $g$ such that $inn(g)$ is contained in $gamma$ and $aut(g)/gamma$ has no uncountable abelian subgroups of prime exponent‎, ‎then $[g,gamma]$ is finite‎, ‎provided that the subgroup consisting of all elements of $g$ fixed by $gamma$ has finite index‎. ‎so...

In this paper, the authors discuss employees’ beliefs about their abilities to competently use computer information security tools in the determination of effective information security practices within organizations. In the first section the authors present a background about information security practices at work. Then, the authors present a research approach based on social cognitive theory ...

SCEL (Service Component Ensemble Language) is a new language specifically designed to rigorously model and program autonomic components and their interaction, while supporting formal reasoning on their behaviors. SCEL brings together various programming abstractions that allow one to directly represent aggregations, behaviors and knowledge according to specific policies. It also naturally suppo...

In this paper we use the results of our previous work [FT] in order to compute the phase of the torsion of an Euler structure ξ in terms of the characteristic class c(ξ). Also, we introduce here a new notion of an absolute torsion, which does not require a choice of any additional topological information (like an Euler structure). We prove that in the case of closed 3-manifolds obtained by 0-su...

Compliance and systems misuse has been the focus of researchers in the last couple of years. However, given that voids in this area is still significant and systems abuse is a pressing issue likely to persist in the future, more investigation is needed in this area. Toward this end, we conducted a research study to help understand factors motivating compliance behavior intentions. Drawing on Th...

IS managers are being put under increasing pressure to justify the value of corporate IT/IS expenditure. Their constant quest for the ‘holy grail’ continues, as existing methods and approaches of justifying IT/IS expenditure are still failing to deliver. The decision making process is not as objective and transparent as it is claimed or intended to be. This paper discusses seven commonly used t...

This article is concerned with reflection principles in the context of Cantor’s conception of the set theoretic universe. We argue that within a Cantorian conception of the set theoretic universe reflection principles can be formulated that confer intrinsic plausibility to strong

Absolute Pitch (AP) is the ability to identify or categorize musical pitches accurately without an external reference. Although AP is generally thought to be rare, music psychology research in the past few decades has debated on every aspect of the phenomenon. This chapter will review the theories, methods, and findings on Absolute Pitch from the cognitive psychology and neuroscience literature...
