Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a chronic tubulointerstitial renal disease of a still unknown etiology, associated with an increased frequency of urothelial carcinoma, particularly of the upper urinary tract (UUT). The aim of the study was to compare the occurrence of UUT carcinomas between Brodsko-Posavska Region (BPR) which is the region with endemic villages and the non-endemic region of...

This paper assesses the rise of business process re-engineering (BPR) as a new approach to managing and organising work. Organisations wishing to implement BPR may either choose a set of generic business processes or devise a set of processes specific to their own situation. An approach to developing enterprise specific business processes is then proposed, based on an analogy with the introduct...

In the information economy, businesses are changing more often and more rapidly than ever before. The lessons learned from a decade of business process reengineering (BPR) research may provide insights to researchers and managers trying to understand and successfully navigate these changes. This paper examines the successes and failures of groupware-supported BPR processes in four organizations...

Our primaty concern is innovation in business processes, especially with focus on how to analyze occurrences of radical rnnovation as a result of Business Process Redesign (BPR) pr0Ject.s. BPR is a new field. and there has so far been little development of theories and methodology in the area. Important questions we address are: can BPR and innovatlon in business processes be studied according ...

In this paper we present the results of utilizing scientific computing methodologies to address an engineering problem from nano technologies. In nano and micro­scale, the calculation could only be done with some particle based representation method. One of them is Molecular Dynamics (MD) method. In the paper we describe the construction of the Molecular Dynamics Method and ...

Addressing to improve the trustworthiness of Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) system, this paper proposes a trustworthy construction approach to solve the problem mentioned above. Firstly, we analyze related literatures about the topic, we realize that main reason causing to reduce trustworthiness of BPR system is due to break of trustworthy connectivity between front configuration tools a...

The elevated T-maze (ETM) is an apparatus derived from the elevated plus-maze test, which is used to evaluate anxiety. Because anxiety is a biasing factor in models of memory, this study proposed the ETM as a task for the simultaneous assessment of memory and anxiety in mice. The ETM consists of one enclosed and two open arms. The procedure is based on the avoidance of open spaces learned durin...
