The study aimed to develop a second-order theoretical analysis based on qualitative interviews exploring the experiences of persons with diabetes attending group-based diabetes education. Bruner’s cultural psychology and White and Epston’s narrative therapy provided a theoretical foundation for the analysis. The analysis indicated that telling and listening to stories from everyday life with di...

In this paper, we propose an extended successive elimination algorithm (SEA) for fast optimal block matching motion estimation (ME). By reinterpreting the typical sum of absolute differences measure, we can obtain additional decision criteria whether to discard the impossible candidate motion vectors. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the computational complexity up ...

Reinterpreting the Cultural Heritage (CH) in light of perceived cultural values and expectations local communities is a significant challenge for politicians city managers, particularly UNESCO sites, due to universal value that they have embed. From our theoretical perspective, individual are basis build on, create shared understanding CH, which, turn, drives safeguard regenerate their commons.

This paper presents a formalisation of two typical legal dialogue moves in a formal dialogue game for argumentation. The moves concern two ways of reinterpreting a general rule used in an argument, viz. by ‘unpacking’ and ‘refining’ the rule. The moves can be made not only by the user but also by the attacker of the rule, in order to reveal new ways to attack it. The new dialogue game is illust...

A notion of morphism that is suitable for the sheaf-theoretic approach to contextuality is developed, resulting in a resource theory for contextuality. The key features involve using an underlying relation rather than a function between measurement scenarios, and allowing for stochastic mappings of outcomes to outcomes. This formalizes an intuitive idea of using one empirical model to simulate ...

Technology-aided ubiquity and instantaneity have emerged as major goals of most information technology providers and of certain classes of users such as ‘‘road warriors’’. New mobile technologies promise genie-in-a-bottle type near-magical qualities with anytime, anywhere access to information and services. While the complex science, systems, and economics of such technologies receive considera...
