This study provides a better understanding of how the application of collaborative software development techniques is shaped by and shapes the transactive memory systems of information systems development teams. In particular, we draw from results of critical realist case studies on development teams that apply pair programming and peer code review. The findings improve our understanding of how...
BACKGROUND Maternal and newborn mortality remain unacceptably high in sub-Saharan Africa. Tanzania and Uganda are committed to reduce maternal and newborn mortality, but progress has been limited and many essential interventions are unavailable in primary and referral facilities.

Short abstract Past experimental studies of decision-making in the context of the Newsvendor problem unanimously find that the decision-makers tend to make suboptimal decisions and, unless special measures are taken to induce “in-task” learning, fail to improve quality of their decisions over time. However, most of these past studies dealt with individual decision-makers. In the present study w...
The Standard Platform League is unique among RoboCup soccer leagues for its focus on software.

Improving the quality of mental health services using patient outcome data: making the most of HoNOS
Efforts to assess and improve the quality of mental health services are often hampered by a lack of information on patient outcomes. Most mental health services in England have been routinely collecting Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) data for some time. In this article we illustrate how clinical teams have used HoNOS data to identify areas where performance could be improved. HoNOS...
Here we present the first empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that a gender-heterogeneous problem-solving team generally produced journal articles perceived to be higher quality by peers than a team comprised of highly-performing individuals of the same gender. Although women were historically underrepresented as principal investigators of working groups, their frequency as PIs at the ...
