OBJECTIVE To evaluate test-retest reliability of social network-related information of the" Pr -Sa de" study. METHODS A test-retest reliability study was conducted using a multidimensional questionnaire applied to a cohort of university employees. The same questionnaire was filled out twice by 192 non-permanent employees with two weeks apart. Agreement was estimated using kappa statistics (ca...

model building is one of the most important characteristics of human beings. according to a classification, there are three kinds of models. the first type are omdels which are unique to every individual person and every body has his own models. another kind of models are those which are general. theories arise from this kind of models. the third kind are modols for model building and deals wit...

To use soil hydrology processe (SHP) models, which have increasingly extended during the last years, comprehensive knowledge about these models and their modeling approaches seems to be necessary. The modeling approaches can be categorized as either classical or non-classical. Classical approaches mainly model the SHP through solving the general unsaturated flow (Richards) equation, numerically...

Multioperator tasks often require complex cognitive processing at the team level. Many team cognitive processes, such as situation assessment and coordination, are thought to rely on team knowledge. Team knowledge is multifaceted and comprises relatively generic knowledge in the form of team mental models and more specific team situation models. In this methodological review paper, we review re...

In the United States, charitable contributions can be deducted from taxable income making the price of giving inversely related to the marginal tax rate. The existing literature documents that charitable giving is very responsive to tax subsidies, but often ignores the spillover effects of such policies. This paper investigates the spillover effects of charitable subsidies on religious particip...

This paper presents a set of theories of localised resource-based growth and development that have helped analysts and policy makers to consider if and how alternative employment can be promoted in relation to the natural-resource-based industries that show a rapid decrease of employment in many regions. Marshall’s theory of industrial evolution and industrial districts has especially emphasise...

This research aims at the development of a computational framework to support knowledge construction and sharing in Virtual Learning Communities. The distinctive characteristic of the framework is that the support will be tailored to the community as a whole, rather than adapting to particular individuals. A key component in the framework is a community knowledge model, which will be derived fr...

Studies on human infants, focused on the ontogenetic origins of knowledge, have provided evidence for a small set of separable systems of core knowledge dealing with the representation of objects, number, and space. We investigated core knowledge systems from a comparative perspective, making use of the domestic chick as a model system, and filial imprinting as a key to animal mind. Here, we di...
