Evaluating End-user Support : Validating the Use of Multiple Media in a CSCW Application

2006

Human-centred views on information systems are gaining more and more attention in IS community. The need to evaluate information systems from such a perspective is thus evident. In this paper, we exploit our earlier developed theoretical framework for evaluating end-user support in information systems, and demonstrate its usage in validating the use of multiple communication and collaboration media in a CSCW application. The evaluation is performed in terms of user perception in ISD process, users’ role in organizational information processing, and users’ behavioural nuances. Our study shows that a context specific theoretical framework is useful in validating the empirical results of syste…

Chaos and its Degradation-Promoting-Based Control in an Antithetic Integral Feedback Circuit

2022

This letter deals with a novel variant of antithetic integral feedback controller (AIFC) motifs which can feature robust perfect adaptation, a pervasive (desired) ability in natural (synthetic) biomolecular circuits, when coupled with a wide class of process networks to be regulated. Using the separation of timescales in the proposed kind of AIFC, here we find a reducedorder controller that captures the governing slow part of the original solutions under suitable assumptions. Inspired by R(ossler systems, we then make use of such a simpler controller to show that the antithetic circuit can exhibit chaotic behaviors with strange attractors, where the bifurcation from a homeostatic state to c…

Atbildība par videi nodarīto kaitējumu neatkarīgi no vainas.

2019

Eiropas Parlamenta un Padomes direktīvā 2004/35/EK (2004.gada 21.aprīlis) par atbildību vides jomā attiecībā uz videi nodarītā kaitējuma novēršanu un atlīdzināšanu un Vides aizsardzības likumā regulētais stingrās atbildības institūts paredz operatora atbildību neatkarīgi no vainas par videi nodarīto kaitējumu vai tiešiem kaitējuma draudiem, kas ir radušies, veicot noteiktas profesionālās darbības. Maģistra darba mērķis ir veikt Vides aizsardzības likumā ietvertās stingrās atbildības regulējuma analīzi, pētot gan stingro atbildību ierobežojošos faktorus – dabas resursus, kuriem var tikt nodarīts kaitējums, profesionālās darbības un kaitējuma būtiskumu –, gan videi nodarītā kaitējuma novēršan…

China's rhetoric and soft power towards the Portuguese-speaking countries : the case of Angola

2014

The thesis analyses China’s foreign policy towards the Portuguese-speaking countries, particularly the case of Angola. The People’s Republic of China has been putting great emphasis on the relations with other developing countries. The eight Portuguese-speaking countries, Angola, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe and Timor-Leste constitute a group with a population of around 250 million people, a vast wealth of natural resources and potential for gaining economic and political importance in the near future. The way China frames its rhetorical communication and establishes relationships must be understood to provide a perspective on its foreign po…

Race et espace : la ville comme lieu d’étude des représentations raciales

2022

Cette étude examine les « paysages raciaux » dans le centre-ville de Bordeaux, c'est-à-dire la façon dont les discours sur la race et le racisme se matérialisent au quotidien. Les paysages raciaux rendent compte de la nature contradictoire des discours sur la race et le racisme en Europe, et en France, qui sont à la fois omniprésents et dissimulés. Analyser le centre-ville de Bordeaux permet d’appréhender la manière dont les discours locaux et nationaux s’étayent et se construisent, mettant ainsi en lumière les relations complexes entre les discours sur la race, le passé colonial et le cadre républicain universaliste spécifique à la France (Fila-Bakabadio 2011). Cette étude pose donc la que…

Economical running strategy for East African distance runners

2013

The superior success of East-African endurance runners has stimulated a large amount of interest in exploring valid reasons for their performance, especially for neuromuscular mechanics. This review provides a brief overview of classic neuromuscular interaction during running; and, thereafter, describes a specific neuromuscular interaction alternative to the classic stretch-shortening cycle concept for enhancing the running economy of East-African distance runners.

Hypes and the birth of new sustainable market categories – a socio-cultural perspective on the emergence of the meat substitute category in Finland

2022

Hypes can be a significant contributor in the mainstreaming of sustainable products. Former research on hypes has been supplier oriented, and thus little is known of their effect on new market formation. Our paper contributes to this research gap by examining the establishment of the ‘meat substitute’ category in Finland using press articles, retailer interviews and consumer panel data. We show how the emergence and legitimation of the meat substitute category depended heavily on the hype arising around a single product, called Pulled Oats (PO). This hype was anchored in its association with trendy and socio-culturally relevant values and practices. We further discover that the hype had pos…

Higher Education of Digitalized Accounting Benefits from Networked Cooperative Learning and Working Life Collaboration

2022

Cooperative learning is a structured way of small group working. The key elements are positive interdependence, individual accountability, promotive interaction, social skills and group processing. In this study, we create a new approach of networked cooperative learning, and examine how it contributes to the learning of digitalized accounting in real-life problem-solving cases. The interaction between digitalized accounting and cooperative learning has not been studied before. The data consist of qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were gathered from group work, where accounting firms, their customers and students as well as teachers from two educational institutes work…
