Teaching a hardware-based course for computer science students is a very challenging task. Students need to do a lot of practical work in the laboratory, usually do some practical project, learn theory and finally take the exam. This is a very hard task for the first hardware-based course — Computer architecture and organization (CAO), especially if it is offered in the first year of studies. Many...
In seeking to complement consultants' and tool vendors' reports, there has been an increasing academic focus on understanding the adoption and use of software development methods and practices. We surveyed practitioners working in Brazil, Finland, and New Zealand in a transnational study to contribute to these efforts. Among our findings we observed that most of the 184 practitioners in our sample...
Social network sites (SNSs) such as Facebook open up novel communication and marketing capabilities by engaging customers and other organizational stakeholders. This study applies insights from Social Information Processing theory to quantitatively characterize five measures of user engagement on SNSs: likes, comments and shares, and two chronemic (time-related) measures of response time and of the...
With the popularization of network technology and higher level educational information, education in the field of knowledge management has become a research hotspot. The knowledge point is an essential cell which transferred information in teaching. Automatically extracted from the network a lot of teaching resources in knowledge and information, and then translates the information into the corresponding...
Discovering the determinants of job change and predicting the individual job change occasion are essential approaches for understanding the professional careers of human. However, with the evolution of labor division and globalization, modern careers become more self-directed and dynamic, which makes job change occasion difficult to predict. Fortunately, the emerging online professional networks and...
Task-based functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has exhibited a thriving potential in the extraction of somatotopic maps of the human sensorimotor cortex representing the correspondence of cortex regions with the sensorimotor functions. Several studies have explored the correspondence of cortex divisions in the absence of motor functions utilizing resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) with the somatotopic...
Objective: To revise the autonomous learning scale that developed by Michigan State University for its applicability in Chinese, and to explore the relationship between self-efficacy and autonomous learning of medical undergraduates. Methods: The general self-efficacy scale and autonomous learning scale are used to measure the medical undergraduates. Results: (1) The scale revised of autonomic learning...
E-learning combine the concept of delivering instruction, information, and learning content using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This concept can brings big impact on the organization, especially in university. The high amount of implementation of e-learning in the world does not guarantee the high level of success in implementation. One of the causes of the failure in e-learning...

This paper introduces a novel, supportive tool for engineering educators while making course adaptations. As pointed out in the 2013 FIE workshop “An Online Revolution in Learning and Teaching,” online learning is likely to impact every department and teacher in some manner. Other innovations impacting engineering educators include active learning, peer instruction, problem-based learning, and just-in-time...
When a security incident is reported, identifying the point-of-breach is critical to figure out what an attacker might do next. Besides, the information related to the resources and levels of privilege acquired as a result of the breach, is essential to re-create the process. Such information is also crucial to planning a defense in real-time. To this end, we need to determine the following parameters...
The focus on psychology has increased within software engineering due to the project management innovation "agile development processes". The agile methods do not explicitly consider group development aspects, they simply assume what is described in group psychology as mature groups. This study was conducted with 45 employees and their twelve managers (N=57) from two SAP customers in the...
In recent years the technological world has grown by incorporating billions of small sensing devices, collecting and sharing real-world information. As the number of such devices grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage all these new information sources. There is no uniform way to share, process and understand context information. In previous publications we discussed efficient ways to organize...
Agile enterprise is this one that looks for and uses short life time opportunities. Agility is strongly required in changeable environment as such environment generates opportunities. The environment of contemporary enterprises is considered to be turbulent and unpredictable. To be competitive the enterprise has to cumulate and distribute through its structure the crucial resource that is knowledge...
This study explores the causal relationship between supervisor feedback environment and employee's creative performance, and the moderation of creative personality. Hierarchical regression analysis of a sample of 203 supervisor-employee dyads demonstrated that significant causal relationship exists between the supervisor feedback environment and creative performance, and the relationship between the...

Aim of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of a recently introduced ultrasound (US) parameter for the estimation of bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, when extensively used in a clinical context to investigate adult women of variable body mass index (BMI). A total of 414 female patients (aged 51–60 years) underwent a spinal dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and an abdominal echographic...
In order to bring out the highest advantages of e-learning, e-learning implementation need well-prepared strategic plan. It is expected that the implementation of E-learning is considered not only limited to investment and technology adoption, the use of e-learning should also be sustainable in the long term. Therefore, institutions need instruments and guideline in preparing all aspects towards e-learning...
