This paper identifies goal handling processes that begin to account for the kind of processes involved in invention. We identify new goal properties and mechanisms for processing goals, as well as means of integrating opportunism, deliberation, and social interaction into goal/plan processes. We focus on enterprise goals, which extend traditional design goals and knowledge goals to address sign...

in this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. then, we utilize them to solvedelay differential equations and time-delay system. the method is based upon ex...

Ikegami reviews the implementation of mandatory long-term care insurance systems in Germany and Japan, which are organized as pay-as-you-go systems. I propose to go one step further and implement a multi-pillar, mandatory and voluntary long-term care financing system, which combines pay-as-you-go with capital-funded elements. The proposal is based on the observation tha...

This paper identifies goal handling processes that begin to account for the kind of processes involved in invention. We identify new kinds of goals with special properties and mechanisms for processingsuch goals, as well as means of integrating opportunism, deliberation, and social interaction into goal/plan processes. We focus on invention goals, which address significant enterprises associate...

To determine if changes in oxygenation and heart rate occur after surfactant, changes in these variables were recorded continuously for 15 minutes before, during, and 15 minutes after the administration of the artificial surfactant ALEC to 21 preterm infants ventilated for respiratory distress syndrome. Median (range) birth weight and gestation were 1199 (561-2680) g and 28 (21-43) weeks, respe...

This study aims to examine the strategy of Islamic economic system in realizing prosperity people modern era. type research uses a qualitative with library research. While approach used is descriptive analysis. The data analysis using results show that Indonesia has not shown good and significant people. So it requires steps strategies developing sharia economics, namely first, strengthening in...

Business intelligence (BI) is a key topic in business today, since it is focused on strategic decision making and on the search of value from business activities through empowering a “forward-thinking” view of the world. From this perspective, one of the most valuable concepts within BI is the “knowledge discovery in databases” or “data mining,” defined as “the process of discovering meaningful...

Dramatically different systems of corporate finance and governance have emerged among the major industrialised countries in the postwar period. Even the casual observer notices large differences between the way firms finance and govern themselves in the United States and United Kingdom on the one hand, and in Japan and Germany on the other. In this paper I describe how firms obtain external fin...

The evaluation of a recommendation engine cannot rely only on the accuracy of provided recommendations. One should consider additional dimensions, such as diversity of provided suggestions, in order to guarantee heterogeneity in the recommendation list. In this paper we analyse users’ propensity in selecting diverse items, by taking into account content-based item attributes. Individual propens...

The introduced method in this study consists of reducing a system of infinite boundary integro-differential equations (IBI-DE) into a system of al- gebraic equations, by expanding the unknown functions, as a series in terms of Laguerre polynomials with unknown coefficients. Properties of these polynomials and operational matrix of integration are rst presented. Finally, two examples illustra...
