Large scale road traffic is a complex system that could be modelled with a multilevel approach. Most of the multilevel models from the literature have fixed a priori level of details (micro-meso, micro-macro, meso-macro). This paper has two goals: it presents the state of the art related to large scale traffic models, and it gives the main research direction to create a novel multilevel model t...

Studies on the adoption of innovations by companies generally include micro-level and mesolevel variables in order to explain a company’s receptiveness to innovations. This study adds to the literature by investigating the role of macro-level variables (i.e. national culture) to explain differences in innovation penetration levels and adoption decisions by companies across national cultures. A ...

Purpose Design, implementation, and evaluation are all important for integrated care. However, they miss one critical factor: education. The authors define “integrated care education” as meaningful learning that purposefully supports collaboration the development of adaptive expertise in ECHO (Extensions Community Health Outcomes) model is a novel digital health solution uses technology-enabled...

Purpose: To describe key success factors, derived from literature review and international case studies that enable effective integration between clinicians, teams and organizations Theory: Effective integration is dependent on consideration of diverse factors operating at macro, meso and micro levels of health care. Data sources: Literature review and four international case studies. Methods: ...

Prediction of mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-based composite is one of the important issues which should be addressed reasonably. A proper modeling approach is a multi-scale technique starting from nano scale and lasting to macro scale passing in-between scales of micro and meso. The main goal of this research is to develop a multi-scale modeling approach to extract mechanical propert...

BACKGROUND Patient involvement in health care decision making is part of a wider trend towards a more bottom-up approach to service planning and provision, and patient experience is increasingly conceptualized as a core dimension of health care quality.The aim of this multi-level study is two-fold: 1) to describe and analyze how governmental organizations expect acute hospitals to incorporate p...

We propose a series of methods to represent the evolution of a field of science at different levels: namely micro, meso and macro levels. We use a previously introduced asymmetric measure of paradigmatic proximity between terms that enable us to extract structure from a large publications database. We apply our set of methods on a case study from the Complex Systems Community through the mappin...
