Investigating the success of ERP systems in Pakistan : end-users' perspective
2016
The global business environment is changing rapidly, and organisations from developing countries such as Pakistan have to re-engineer their business processes to meet the challenges of increased competition and rising customer expectations. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems intend to deliver many benefits, such as business automation, reduced operating costs, accurate demand forecasts, better decision-making and improved customer service. However, organisations adopting ERP systems encounter many types of problems that may lead to failures in processes, expectations and interactions. In order to address these failures, researchers have identified the critical success factors in the…
A kétnyelvűség lenyomatai : Célnyelvi interferenciák Terézia Mora Das Ungeheuer című regényében és magyar fordításában
2018
The German writer Terézia Mora (1971) grew up with a double, Hungarian-German linguistic identity. She reflects on her own bilingualism in many ways, also on the micro level of the text. How can this linguistic duality be kept in the Hungarian translation? What translation strategies are to be applied in order to keep the intentional foreignness of the original in the Hungarian target text, if this foreignness is produced by using the very characteristics of the Hungarian language in the German original? This case study focuses on the reflection of bilingualism and the translation problems arising from reflection in literary texts by studying examples taken from the novel Das Ungeheuer by T…
Why open educational resources repositories fail : the contribution of quality approaches to the success of repositories
2016
Over the last two decades, millions of Open Educational Resources (OER) have become freely available for teachers and learners online. These resources are usually accessible through Learning Object Repositories (LORs), which are databases with a user interface. LORs are rarely used to their full potential and often considered as ‘failures’. Previous studies have shown that quality has a critical role in the success of information systems such as LORs. However there are no common guidelines for quality assurance approaches for LORs, nor are there studies into the contribution made by different LOR quality assurance approaches to the success of a repository. Measuring quality and success have…
Encouraging the success of foreign students in schools: reinforcing problem solving in mathematics
2015
In the present chapter we will explore education success in mathematics, in particular as regards reinforcing problem solving, trying to overcome a widespread view of deficit, which leads to attention being focused on what students cannot do or do not know how to do and which, in the majority of cases, is due to poor language proficiency. By focusing solely on these areas one runs the risk of involving students in simple cognitive activities that require the memorisation of rules and algorithms and the application of resolution strategies, which have already been dealt with, instead of more complex cognitive activities such as problem solving and argumentation. The resolution of mathematics…

Curcumin, inflammation, ageing and age-related diseases
2010
Abstract A Symposium regarding the Pathophysiology of Successful and Unsuccessful Ageing was held in Palermo, Italy between April 7 and 8th 2009. Here the lecture by Sikora with some input from the chairpersons Scapagnini and Barbagallo is summarized. Ageing is manifested by the decreasing health status and increasing probability to acquire age-related disease such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, metabolic disorders and others. They are likely caused by low grade inflammation driven by oxygen stress and manifested by the increased level of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α, encoded by genes activated by the transcription factor NF-κB. It is believed th…
Celebracions del poder. Política i premsa a Catalunya a començaments de l'edat moderna
2014
Resum: Aquest article tracta de la primera premsa produïda a Catalunya: és a dir, de les relacions de successos impreses, especialment a Barcelona, que, des de finals del segle XVI, tingueren un paper clau en la creació de l’opinió pública. S’argumenta que aquella primera premsa ha de considerar-se com una celebració, explícita o bé implícita, del poder: del poder reial, del poder eclesiàstic, del poder militar, del poder civil i del poder diví. En particular, la temàtica recollida en les relacions inclou naixements, casaments i exèquies reials; beatificacions, canonitzacions, miracles i martiris; victòries contra enemics musulmans, protestants i (amb la Guerra dels Segadors) espanyols; la …
Els escriptors catalans en una Europa en conflicte: la propaganda política empresa de la Guerra dels Segadors
2012
La propaganda política de la guerra dels Segadors inclou figures catalanes de renom com ara Gaspar Sala i Berart, Francesc Martí i Viladamor o Alexandre de Ros, del bàndol català i castellà. Aquesta propaganda i altres relacions de successos anònimes, en prosa o en vers, van circular ràpidament per Catalunya i algunes arribaren a Europa. En aquest estudi s’examina la geografia dels tractats polítics i dels pamflets amb la voluntat de posar de relleu la seva importància i difusió, independentment de la llengua emprada.
More is not always better—non-linear effects in crowdfunding
2019
Abstract This research focuses on crowdfunding project features and its relation with the success of this project. The main purpose is to improve probability of success of crowdfunding projects. One can argue that “more is always better” resulting in attempts of daily updates. Contrarily, backers may be weary of numerous updates to work through, indicating a possible wear-out effect, implying the existence of an optimal level of updates. Our preliminary results show that previous research, built upon linear modeling, widely ignores important aspects of the relationship between key variables. We therefore picked six key variables that were previously marked as success drivers in crowdfunding…
