The purpose of this project was to develop a bidimensional measure of mindfulness to assess its two key components: present-moment awareness and acceptance. The development and psychometric validation of the Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale is described, and data are reported from expert raters, two nonclinical samples (n = 204 and 559), and three clinical samples including mixed psychiatric outp...

With a paucity of longitudinal studies done in the stream of Technology Acceptance Model, a longitudinal case study research was conducted with a large state Owned enterprise (SOE) in Thailand that has gone through an ERP implementation project. To provide a more comprehensive perspective of the process of user acceptance of ERP, data were collected from two phases of the implementation process...

Ericsson initiated a project called „Connect to Learn‟ (C2L), where a mobile learning solution focused on introducing creativity and interactivity into the classrooms of South Africa using various mobile technologies and applications, was developed. Ericsson has employed this solution in various schools in and around Johannesburg, South Africa. This research study focuses on investigating the u...

As a result of new EU regulations (regulation (EC) 178/2002) and the efforts of food retailers to avoid future food scandals, a qualityand traceability system (IT FoodTrace) along the supply chain of animal products will be established. Enterprises, authorities and other stakeholders will therefore face additional costs, which might result in their rejecting the new quality and traceability sys...

Open source software projects evolve thanks to a group of volunteers that help in their development. Thus, the success of these projects depends on their ability to attract (and keep) developers. We believe the openness of a project, i.e., how easy is for a new user to actively contribute to it, can help to make a project more attractive. To explore the openness of a software project, we propos...

The NeuroWeb project is an Internet-based framework for the simulation of neural networks. It aims for using the Internet as a transparent environment to allow users the exchange of information (neural network objects, neural network paradigms) and the exploit of available computing resources for neural network specific tasks (specifically training of neural networks). NeuroWeb’s design princip...
