Classically, the focus of degree courses in engineering has been primarily on the teaching of applied science, but there has been much less emphasis on this for software engineering. This paper therefore examines the relationships between courses in software engineering and other branches of engineering, and particularly the balance within them between science and its applications. It discusses...

There is increasing evidence that callous-unemotional (CU) traits delineate a distinctive group of youth with antisocial behavior (AB). While controversies surrounding the construct of CU traits remain, the Dadds et al. (2014) study in this issue is emblematic of recent research that has focused on understanding the development of CU traits among antisocial youth. We explore four pertinent issu...

Health informatics and information management (HIIM) is an applied research discipline that integrates health, computer science, and business. Researchers in an applied discipline answer the questions of why and how. Policy makers, who can be leaders of health systems, legislators, or regulators at governmental agencies, are often the sources of these questions. In this research model, data col...

Does it make sense to use a simple organism to study human disease? I am sure that all those scientists using non-mammalian models in biomedical research have faced this question many times, perhaps informally in front of the family and friends or in more critical situations under the scrutiny of grant agencies or evaluation committees. There are obvious arguments supported by the history of sc...

The revolutionary transformation in Russian science toward the Soviet model of research started even before the revolution of 1917. It was triggered by the crisis of World War I, in response to which Russian academics proposed radical changes in the goals and infrastructure of the country's scientific effort. Their drafts envisioned the recognition of science as a profession separate from teach...

Gerontology is the scientific study of the ageing process and special problems of aged people. Ergonomics is an applied science for optimizing performance and productivity and reducing the risks of injury, discomfort and illness. Gerontechnology is concerned with fundamental and applied research on the complex interaction of elderly people with technological products and the built environment. ...

In this article we discuss the relationship between the concept of neurofeedback and research on metacognition. We analyze different aspects of neurofeedback, such as temporal and spatial resolution, range of possible cognitive modulation, long-time learning effects, ambulatory measurement, and advanced computer interfaces, and relate them to basic and applied research on metacognition. We argu...

In the present review, the chemistry of dyes as well as the interaction mechanisms between tissue and dye has been detailed, and also some of the key factors affecting the selectivity of dyes by certain cellular structures have been mentioned. Moreover, due to the relevance that histological stains have acquired in biomedical research, some of the most common stains have been described, pointin...

In this article we take a big picture perspective on work design research. In the first section of the paper we identify influential work design articles and use scientific mapping to identify distinct clusters of research. Pulling this material together, we identify five key work design perspectives that map onto distinct historical developments: (a) sociotechnical systems and autonomous work ...

Macroeconomic analysis has been relatively neglected by Austrian economists since the beginning of the Austrian revival in the early 1960s with the publication of Murray N. Rothbard’s Man, Economy, and State (1993)1 and America’s Great Depression (2000). Rothbard’s treatise contained new and improved elaborations of the Austrian theories of money, capital, and business cycles. In particular Rot...
