This paper reports on a qualitative research in which the main themes for understanding and operationalizing behavioural market orientation of technology based ventures in biotechnology have been identified. The research forms a basis for future quantitative research assessing the degree and performance implications of behavioural market orientation of knowledge intensive high technology SMEs. ...

aim and background: spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence may complement each other in order to make a healthy life. on the one hand, spiritual intelligence leads to stabilization of virtues through improving spirituality and religious convictions and on the other hand, emotional intelligence improves social relations and controls affections and feelings. this may help individuals t...

Swarm Intelligence is the global intelligent behaviour emerged from the interaction of groups of simple agents. The existing swarm intelligence research mainly refers to swarm intelligence optimization, which with ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization as a representative. And the relevant research work focuses on the performance improvements of the optimization algorithm, whic...

multiple intelligences (mi), second/foreign (l2) proficiency and gender are postulated to contribute to language learning strategies (lls). this study, first, examined whether there was any relationship between iranian efl learners’ lls, on the one hand, and their mi, l2 proficiency, on the other hand. in so doing, it explored the relationship of the overall l2 strategy as well as individual st...

L2Code is an Intelligent Tutoring System used for teaching programming courses for different paradigms under a hybrid or blinded environment. It was designed and implemented to work with diverse types of modules oriented to certain ways of learning using principles of Multiple Intelligences. The author tool facilitates the creation of adaptive or personalized learning material to be used in mul...

BACKGROUND Autistic perception is characterized by atypical and sometimes exceptional performance in several low- (e.g., discrimination) and mid-level (e.g., pattern matching) tasks in both visual and auditory domains. A factor that specifically affects perceptive abilities in autistic individuals should manifest as an autism-specific association between perceptual tasks. The first purpose of t...

Actor: Entity (human or computer) possessing a capability to act intelligently and process specific assignments (activities/tasks). Atomic task: Task that can be handled by an individual actor. CAS: Collective adaptive system. Collaboration system (platform): Information system supporting execution of collaborative processes. Collaborative process (collaboration): Joint effort of a (limited) nu...

Studies of human intelligence provide strong evidence for the neural efficiency hypothesis: More efficient brain functioning in more intelligent individuals, that is, less cortical activation in brighter individuals. The main goal of this study was to explore the relationship between intelligence and cortical activation in combination with a cognitive training. In 83 participants, cortical acti...
