The authors investigated male juvenile delinquents' causal attributions about others' behavior and the salient pieces of information that the male juveniles used in arriving at their attributions. Participants were 82 male juvenile offenders whom the authors drew randomly from the population of juveniles who were incarcerated at a correctional facility. A concurrent mixed-methodological analysi...

With the recent developments in the C++ language, concepts are mostly discussed as a form of constrained polymorphism. Yet, concepts also allow for an alternative, implementation-independent view that comes from their origin in (algebraic) specification languages. In this paper, we return to this specification view on concepts and formalize C++ concepts as institutions, a well-established notio...

This paper studies opportunistic behaviour in a model of decentralized economic exchange and inadequate institutional framework of formal contract enforcement. It is shown that (i) when the number of cheating traders is sufficiently large, inadequate institutions (e.g. due to insufficient legal provisions and/or ineffective enforcement of existing laws) result in a loss of decentralized trading...

Despite all of the talk of technology transforming organizations and institutions, it could be argued that the organizations and institutions that relate to education have displayed less obvious evidence of change over the last few decades than those in other areas of society. In particular, many people would argue that a slow pace of change is especially evident with the “traditional” institut...

Formal and informal institutions matter in the context of innovation performance Central Eastern European countries (CEECs). The purpose research was to investigate whether interplay between formal has a positive, negative or neutral impact on CEECs, if alone also have influence CEECs. is based CEECs such as trust, traditions, customs, creativity cooperation, law, rules, science, technology pol...

Green innovation has been recognized as a strategic priority to build competitive advantage, but few studies have examined the impact of environmental information disclosure on green in emerging economies. By integrating stakeholder and institutional theories, this study explores relationship between under formal informal institutions. Using panel data Chinese A-share listed companies from 2009...

let $k$ be a field of characteristic$p>0$, $k[[x]]$, the ring of formal power series over $ k$,$k((x))$, the quotient field of $ k[[x]]$, and $ k(x)$ the fieldof rational functions over $k$. we shall give somecharacterizations of an algebraic function $fin k((x))$ over $k$.let $l$ be a field of characteristic zero. the power series $finl[[x]]$ is called differentially algebraic, if it satisfies...
