This essay aspires to explore the contours of a theory value based on commons. Its starting point is an understanding as means through which empirical economic phenomena are guided by underlying structure. Value understood way people’s actions become meaningful them within broader social whole defined said We approach digital commons such whole, articulated distinct practices, emerging within, ...

aims: fatalistic employees take serious risks because they have limited knowledge of risks and accidents, leading them to under estimate the possibility of their occurrence. this research examined the effectiveness of safety training on changing employees’ fatalism with attention to the mediating role of attitude toward safety issues. methods: 204 employees was selected according to the stratif...

The roots of this article reside as much in curricular pragmatism as in programmatic, ideologic convictions. By curricular pragmatism we mean the anankian[1] drive for one single course in Mathematics for Architecture Students at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, course that would encapsulate as much formative knowledge as deemed feasible. The need for an “Object Oriented”, fast ap...

Today’s Internet is composed of approximately 20,000 competing autonomous systems (ASes) which have to cooperate with each other to provide global reachability. Each AS is controlled by different administrative entities, and therefore encodes various economic, business, and performance decisions in its routing policy. Unfortunately, the complex interactions arising from such a distributed syste...

Complex information systems have numerous design variables that are systematically decided upon during the design process. In high-variability systems, some of these decisions are left open and deferred to later stages. For example, in product line architectures, some decision variables are used to generate families of products with variations in features. In user-adaptive systems, the behavior...

We seek to describe a starting point for modeling the evolution and role of DNA sequences within the framework of cellular automata by discussing the current understanding of genetic information storage in DNA 'sequences. This includes alternately viewing the role of DNA in living organisms as a simple scheme and as a complex scheme; a brief review of strategies for identifying and classifying ...

better model the performance of network, this paper proposes a novel AS level network performance model (MNPM), it takes autonomous system (AS) as basic modeling unit, measures E2E performance between any two outdegrees of an AS and organizes measurement results into matrix form which called performance matrix (PM). Inter-AS performance calculation is defined according to performance informatio...

Originating from a disenfranchisement with the contemporary definition and realisation of Westernised architecture as a commodity and product, this thesis seeks to explore alternative examples of positive socio-spatial practice and agency. These alternative spatial practices and methodologies are drawn from participatory and grass-roots development agency in informal settlements and contexts of...

This paper seeks to serve as a road map for a possible methodology of knowledge management, and of the research exploring it, highlighting main intersections, and the signs pointing ahead in such journey. The research aims eventually at advancing the creation of a coherent integration amongst Knowledge, Knowledge Management, Intellectual Capital, and some of the concepts in between, i.e. Value,...
