PURPOSE Therapists use motor learning strategies (MLSs) to structure practice conditions within stroke rehabilitation. Virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation is an MLS-oriented stroke intervention, yet little support exists to assist therapists in integrating MLSs with VR system use. METHOD A pre-post design evaluated a knowledge translation (KT) intervention incorporating interactive e-le...

Growing recognition of the importance of understanding metacognitive behaviour as it occurs in everyday learning situations has prompted an expansion of the methodological approaches used to examine metacognition. This becomes especially pertinent when examining the process of metacognitive change, where 'on-line' observational approaches able to capture metacognitive performance as it occurs d...

We define and motivate the problem of summarizing partial email threads. This problem introduces the challenge of generating reference summaries for partial threads when human annotation is only available for the threads as a whole, particularly when the human-selected sentences are not uniformly distributed within the threads. We propose an oracular algorithm for generating these reference sum...

Demand for Accounting Information Systems (AIS) knowledge has increased exponentially over the past two decades. Yet, learning AIS has proven to be a major challenge for accounting students as it does not usually follow the ‘traditional’ style of accounting education and the AIS curriculum is often ill structured. This paper presents major challenges that accounting students face in their AIS s...

BACKGROUND While most children display a normal development, some children experience developmental delays compared to age specific development milestones assessed during school entry examination. Data exist on prevalence of delays in single areas, but there is lack of knowledge regarding the clustering patterns of developmental delays and their determinants. METHODS During the observation pe...

w T hat are the most pressing health problems that will face our society in the coming decades? How can the Linus Pauling Institute contribute to the resolution of society’s most pressing health problems? Which knowledge-based tools and skills will be necessary for LPI to successfully address our most pressing health problems in innovative ways, especially as they involve LPI’s research, outr...

In view of the importance of employees’ knowledge sharing, this research, which draws on social capital theory and employees' sense of well-being, develops a comprehensive theoretical model which aims to explore deeply the mediating impact of employees’ sense of well-being on social capital and the contribution of knowledge in the complex context of a virtual organisation. The quantitative appr...

We propose a technique that allows any planning system that searches in the space of partial plans to make use of heuristics from the literature which are based on search in the space of states. The technique uses a problem encoding that reduces the problem of finding a heuristic value for a partial plan to finding a heuristic value for a state: It encodes a partial plan into a new planning pro...

This study examines the factors affecting the adoption and practice of knowledge management system (KMS) in Taiwan life insurance industry, using a mixed methodology approach. The research was carried out in three phases: field study, pilot survey and main survey. The main survey data were analyzed through Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique. The results indicate that the external factors aff...
