Food justice movement: a movement that believes all communities, regardless of race or income, can have both increased access to healthy food and the power to influence a food system that prioritizes environment and human needs over corporate profits. The food justice movement also stresses that the cultivation of food systems that are both environmentally sustainable and socially just requires...

In a postural-suprapostural task, appropriate prioritization is necessary to achieve task goals and maintain postural stability. A "posture-first" principle is typically favored by elderly people in order to secure stance stability, but this comes at the cost of reduced suprapostural performance. Using a postural-suprapostural task with a motor suprapostural goal, this study investigated differ...

This paper proposes a mixed ergonomic tool analysis algorithm to prioritize work-related musculoskeletal problems. study is cross-sectional assessing the prevalence of disorders (WMSDs) with associated risk factors among 14 male mango-harvesting farmers (all right-handed) mean age 52.28 ± 7.75 years. Four tasks following processes were analyzed: (1) mango harvesting, (2) transporting, (3) size ...

We propose a framework for assessing and realizing the benefits from IT investment and an integrative process for prioritizing, justifying, and evaluating results of IT implementations. IT investments can drive changes in business processes. Our framework emphasizes identifying those changes so that responsibility for realizing benefits (financial and non-financial) can be assigned and evaluate...

The prioritization of candidate disease-causing genes is a fundamental challenge in the post-genomic era. Current state of the art methods exploit a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network for this task. They are based on the observation that genes causing phenotypically-similar diseases tend to lie close to one another in a PPI network. However, to date, these methods have used a static pict...

Used to establish confidence in the correctness of evolving software, regression testing is an important, yet costly, task. Test case prioritization enables the rapid detection of faults during regression testing by reordering the test suite so that effective tests are run as early as is possible. However, a distinct lack of information about the regression faults found in complex real-world so...
