Student Author of the Year Award 2009
2009
The ‘‘Student author of the Year Award’’ is made for an outstanding paper in which an undergraduate or graduate student played a key role in the research and publication. The recipient of this award for 2009 is Ruben Diez Fernandez for his contribution, co-authored with Jose R. Martinez Catalan 3D Analysis of an Ordovician igneous ensemble: A complex magmatic structure hidden in a polydeformed allochthonous Variscan unit Journal of Structural Geology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2009, Pages 222–236. The Editors have selected this paper out of many student submissions in 2009. The basis of this paper is detailed field mapping, metamorphic petrology and structural analysis. These clearly establ…
Altered splicing pattern of TACC1 mRNA in gastric cancer
2002
Abstract Transforming acidic coiled-coil ( TACC ) proteins are centrosome and microtubule-associated proteins that are essential for mitotic spindle function. We identified TACC1 as an immunogenic protein and a potential tumor antigen by applying serological identification of antigens by recombinant expression cloning (SEREX) technique to screen a gastric cancer cDNA library. The 5′RLM-RACE and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analyses revealed at least six different transcript variants of TACC1 with variable transcription start sites and alternative exon usage (designated TACC1-A–TACC1-F ). All transcripts differ in their 5′ ends but share an identical 3′ region encoding coi…
The influence of financial features and country characteristics on B2B ICOs’ website traffic
2021
Abstract Technology, blockchain, and initial coin offerings (ICOs) have changed the established ways of financing companies and doing business. The changes that affect organizational communications, specifically marketing communications, remain unclear, especially in the context of business-to-business (B2B) organizations. The current trend is for B2B companies to view social media as an optimal way to enhance lasting and valuable relationships with other companies. There is little research on social media marketing strategies by B2B organizations. To fill this gap, this study uses a sample of 57 B2B ICOs completed by December 2019 and qualitative comparative analysis to examine how the com…
An exploratory approach for benefits management in e-government: Insights from 48 Norwegian government funded projects
2008
Author's version of a chapter in Proceeding of 41th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences. Also available from the publisher at http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/HICSS.2008.55 Efforts to improve governance and government functions through the use of information technology continue to draw considerable parts of the budgets of government agencies. To meet public and political demands for increased visibility of effects of e- Government investments, there is a trend to extend existing practices of evaluation towards more holistic management practices, commonly referred to as benefits management. However, benefits management practices and effects of such practices are poorly documented. Th…
Strategies for Heading Off is Project Failure
2000
Although investment in information technology and information systems continues to increase, projects continue to fail. As a result, IS projects, particularly software projects, are perceived as high risk. By categorizing types of risk, this article helps IS professionals and all project sponsors to identify classes of risk and choose the appropriate managerial behavior to mitigate each of them.
PRIMO experiment: study-action on the dynamics of the creation of new enterprises and jobs in the Social and Solidarity Economy
2016
A research-action was carried out in 2015 and 2016 by the Regional Chamber of the Social and Solidarity Economy (CRESS) of Franche-Comté, accompanied by public partners, scientific and from the field of support, with the aim of better understand the dynamics of the creation of SSE enterprises in the regions, identified by the criterion of employment. The results of the survey component, obtained through the Catalyse® method (see http://www.acokima.org), make it possible to establish a typology of primary-employer structures. In particular, they show that the ability of a territory to "generate" new employers in the ESS is primarily linked to the existing voluntary sector and to the possibil…
Modeling Requirements for Future CASE
1995
In this paper we discuss some requirements for future CASE Computer Aided Software/Systems Engineering environments. These requirements include increased modifiability and flexibility as well as support for process and agent models. We claim that they can only be addressed by developing more powerful representation and modeling techniques. As a possible basis for modeling various techniques, we outline a general information architecture for a future CASE environment. In addition, we propose primitive types for specifying techniques, the development process, and agent models, and use these types for modeling an example methodology and examine how the requirements are or can be supported in o…
Converging paths to Notes
1995
The nature of the information systems needed in a networked firm is not well known: nor is the process leading to particular solutions. Describes a small computer‐consulting company which works as a network of independent consultants, and analyses the slow and circuitous path from recognizing its IS/IT needs to its commitment to a particular solution as seven steps; using ideas of structuration theory as a focus. During the selection process, participants formed new interpretations of the firm, of technology, and of the appropriate process towards a feasible solution. New resources – both material and symbolic – were acquired to enable the search. Existing “norms” provided boundaries for th…
Versatile Pedagogical and Social Activities of a Graduate of Riga Polytechnic Institute Jānis Stiprais (1870–1946)
2021
The research discusses continuous effort of a pedagogue, economist and journalist Jānis Stiprais (1870–1946) in his pursuit to obtain education and his versatile pedagogical activities in Tomsk (Russia), Tukums, Valka and Riga, as well as the contribution he made in such areas as journalism, folklore and social work. J. Stiprais shared his knowledge of economics gained at Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI) with the students at the University of Latvia (UL), Latvia People’s University and Vilis Olavs Commercial School; in the first half of the 20th century he was the principal of educational institutions in Tukums, Valka and Riga, he also was one of the signatories of the Memorandum of the Cen…
LU Filoloģijas un filozofijas fakultātes bibliotēkas krājuma veidošanās pirmskara periodā
2017
The faculties of the humanities of the newly established University of Latvia had to create their libraries from the ground up, as opposed to the technical libraries who had partly preserved the stocks from the departments of the predecessor, the RPI. Books for the library of the Faculty of Philology and Philosophy were obtained through governmental allocations, purchases, and donations, and so it grew from 350 books in 1919 to more than 40 thousand in 1939. This article explores the first years of the formation of library holdings.
