A wide variety of applications, including traditional data transfer and adaptive real-time multimedia, can potentially use the ATM available bit rate service. While these applications all share the ability to adapt their rate, they otherwise may have very different characteristics. The goal of this paper is to examine routing algorithms in the context of two different classes of best-effort app...

The IT landscape in German hospitals is characterized by great heterogeneity. While IT-systems directly supporting medical diagnosis generally show high adoption rates, acceptance of process supporting systems, such as systems supporting the documentation processes, is often not as originally envisioned when the system was implemented. This research analyzes physicians’ perceptions towards adop...

Mental contrasting a desired future with present reality is a self-regulation strategy that fosters energization in line with a person's expectations of successfully attaining the desired future. We investigated whether physiological energization (measured by systolic blood pressure) elicited by mental contrasting a desired future of solving a given task transfers to effort in an unrelated task...

The Spanish government recently passed legislation that legalized euthanasia. This article analyzes the Organic Law on Regulation of Voluntary Euthanasia by exploring its procedural aspects, various methods providing assistance to die and medical role under law.

Do we run away because we are frightened, or are we frightened because we run away? The authors address this issue with respect to the relation between metacognitive monitoring and metacognitive control. When self-regulation is goal driven, monitoring effects control processes so that increased processing effort should enhance feelings of competence and feelings of knowing. In contrast, when se...

Using motivational intensity theory as a framework, three experiments examined how implicit self-focus (manipulated with masked first-name priming) and explicit self-focus (manipulated with a large mirror) influence effort-related cardiovascular activity, particularly systolic blood pressure reactivity. Theories of self-focused attention suggest that both implicit and explicit self-focus bring ...

Policy regulations are needed in the administration of government. As rule law country, Indonesia has a consequence acting based on law. But summary regulation formation policy raises various multi-interpretations its implementation. This problems, including substance material that exists is contrary to laws and regulations. study aims find concept convergence local laws. doctrinal legal resear...
