European Journal of Information Systems (2010) 19, 619–624. doi:10.1057/ejis.2010.50 We have been talking about strategic alignment between the business and information technology (IT) in organizational endeavor for at least two decades now (Venkatraman et al., 1993). Yet, despite heroic efforts on the part of researchers and practitioners we appear to be still far from achieving this business–...

We present a large set of numerical simulations aimed at investigating a behavior previously observed in earlier work, namely a significant discrepancy between the linear migration time estimate and its value as obtained from simulations, for planet masses in the range 5-15 earth masses, characteristic of the solid cores of giant planets. For such masses, numerical simulations yield a much long...

Books on Buddhism for general readers rarely mention miracles. Instead, the emphasis is usually on the life of the Buddha, his teachings, and the monastic order, the so-called “Three Treasures.” This is a heritage left by the European scholars who first became interested in Buddhism in the 19 century. Take the example of T.W. Rhys Davids, who founded the Pali Text Society in 1886 in England, an...

Meditation experiences evolve along a spectrum, ranging from an effortful struggle with the technique to deep transpersonal states where all dualities dissolve. The present study investigated to what extent the depth of meditation is influenced by the amount of meditation practice and the personality trait of absorption, and whether deep experiences influence the mindfulness of meditators in ev...

The traditional classification of the four states of consciousness waking stae, dream state, sleep state and transcendence state is combined through quantum states of mind ordinary perception, extra sensory perception and extra-ordinary perception to create a 12 state consciousness perception matrix. The paper elaborates on the concept and nature of the three quantum states of mind, their corre...

BACKGROUND: Demands for economic inputs to mental health policy-making, practice decisions and research evaluations have grown considerably in recent years, but the overall supply response has been modest and uneven. AIMS: This paper examines the key historical phases in the development of mental health economics research, and what they imply for the way economics is received and employed. Focu...
