BACKGROUND In-depth knowledge regarding interdisciplinary collaboration, a key feature in reablement, is scarce. OBJECTIVE To elucidate how the interdisciplinary collaboration in reablement worked in a Norwegian context. SAMPLE AND METHODS Seven focus group interviews were conducted with 33 health care providers working in interdisciplinary reablement teams in seven municipalities across th...

BACKGROUND We describe a system of web applications designed to streamline the interdisciplinary collaboration in outcomes research. DESCRIPTION The outcomes research process can be described as a set of three interrelated phases: design and selection of data sources, analysis, and output. Each of these phases has inherent challenges that can be addressed by a group of five web applications d...

Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for the advance of research. As domain subjects become more and more specialized, researchers need to cross disciplines for insights from peers in other areas to have a broader and deeper understand of a topic at microand macro-levels. We developed a 3D virtual learning environment that served as a platform for faculty to plan curriculum, share educa...

We outline the notion of trust and two formal models developed to solve the trust problem in multi-agent systems. The limitations of these models, and their similarities with classical AI models (which stress centrally-stored representations of the world) are examined. We then consider trust as a Distributed Cognition problem, and suggest an agent design framework, inspired by Distributed Cogni...

BACKGROUND From a philosophy of science perspective, the literature has posited that different research approaches influence field studies. Studies addressing interdisciplinary research have focused on the challenges of organizing and running interdisciplinary teams, cultural differences between and within disciplines, and constraints in conducting interdisciplinary research. Studies exploring ...

In May 2010, biomedical and social scientists from 12 countries n 4 continents convened in Copenhagen, Denmark to discuss the pidemiological, social, and public health consequences of 5 diverse andemics, the 1889 “Russian,” the 1918 “Spanish,” the 1957 Asian,” the 1968 “Hong-Kong” and the 2009 pandemics.

A coordinated study of physical, bio-optical, and sedimentary processes and acoustic transmission was conducted on the New England shelf about 110 km south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, from September 1995 to August 1997. The experiment utilized several different observing platforms enabling measurements over space scales from centimeters in the vertical to tens of kilometers in the horizontal an...

Radovan Kranjčev (2013) published a paper on Croatian Mantodea containing a considerable number of data that need to be discussed. In this reply corrections of mantid misidentifications, as well as of some given statements, are presented, certain doubtful records are discussed and comments on a number of overlooked papers are given. Also, a critical review of some further problems concerning Cr...
