The widespread adoption of problem-oriented policing requires a dramatic and fundamental change in both the organizational focus of the police and the manner in which day to day policing is performed. The focus of this article is on the factors that have limited the implementation of problem-oriented policing. These are partitioned into two groups; those inhibiting the problem orientation of th...

‎We present streamlined proofs of certain maximality principles studied by Hamkins‎ ‎and Woodin‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we formulate an intermediate maximality principle‎, ‎which is‎ ‎shown here to be equiconsistent with the existence of a weakly compact cardinal $kappa$ such that $V_{kappa}prec V$‎.

The purpose of this paper is to explain how the constraints of legacy interorganizational information infrastructures (IOII) can be overcome by using the bootstrapping and adaptiveness design principles proposed by Hanseth and Lyytinen. Information systems are no longer typically implemented in a vacuum as standalone applications and inertia effects from an existing installed base can increase ...

Data mining has become increasingly important as a key to analyzing, digesting and understanding the flood of digital data. Achieving this goal requires scaling mining algorithms to large databases. Many classic mining algorithms require multiple database scans and/or random access to database records. Work in this area focuses on overcoming limitations imposed when scanning a large database mu...

Privacy is a thorny issue that affects all information systems designed for interpersonal interaction and awareness. Theoretical insights regarding privacy and user experience in a variety of systems have produced numerous design principles and guidelines for building systems sensitive to privacy issues. In order to truly improve support for privacy management, the usability of systems that imp...

The present article extends Basil Bernstein’s theorisation of ‘discourses’ and ‘knowledge structures’ to explore the potential of educational knowledge structures to enable or constrain cumulative learning, where students can transfer knowledge across contexts and build knowledge over time. It offers a means of overcoming dichotomies in Bernstein’s model by conceptualising knowledge in terms of...

Interfacial water constitutes a formidable barrier to strong surface bonding, hampering the development of water-resistant synthetic adhesives. Notwithstanding this obstacle, the Asian green mussel Perna viridis attaches firmly to underwater surfaces via a proteinaceous secretion (byssus). Extending beyond the currently known design principles of mussel adhesion, here we elucidate the precise t...
