Social Media-integrated Collaboration Systems for Business Use

Conference Paper

Full-text available

Jul 2015

This paper presents a concept for integrating social media functionality into existing collaboration systems and using this functionality to also integrate the collaboration systems themselves. Social media functionality is used in the areas contents, contacts and communication to support knowledge sharing and knowledge maturing. Using a micro-service architecture, our concept allows for social media functionality in every collaboration system. Users benefit from a better overview due to a central activity stream with entries of all systems, as well as a consistent UI. They don’t have to chose a certain tool but can use the desired functionality like rating, tagging or commenting everywhere. We further provide information about a technical implementation of the concept with popular open source software like Liferay and OpenXchange.

Aspectos reproductivos del pulpo (Octopus mimus Gould, 1895) en el Área del Callao, durante 1998

May 2000

The size first maturity, size spawning and spawning season of te octopus Octopus mimus were studied from january 1998 to January 1999. The data used in the analysis correspond to sampling of the artisanal fishery catches in Callao área. The size at firt maturity was 127,7 mm for females and 65,5 mm for males,whose respective weights were 742,5 g and 123,5 g. The mean spawning size was 143 mm for ... [Show full abstract] females and 137 mm for male, with weights of 1 002, and 992 g. The spawning seasons were determined by Gonadosomatic Index (GSI), by Maturity Index (MI) and by the monthly proportion of maturity stages. The monthly evolution of the GSI reveals a main period of spawning in November and a secondary in february – March. The analysis of the MI and the proportion of mature individuals show also a third spawning event in July. The results presented here include a year affected by altered oceagraphic conditions due to El Niño 1997-1998 event. That is why a more exhaustive assessment of normal years and different áreas is needed to have a real knowledge of reproductive patterns of octopus in Peruvian coasts.

Assessing capacity and maturity for change in organizations: A patterns-based tool derived from comp...

January 2011 · Emergence: Complexity & Organization

In transition times leaders should be aware of the hidden and intangible assets of their organizations or communities. While linear-analytical assessment tools face major difficulties in meeting this challenge, we suggest that the use of archetypal models as knowledge systems can be of help. A new tool, based on the use of geometrical patterns and aiming to reveal and assess a system's capacity ... [Show full abstract] and maturity for change, is presented here.

Characterization of Non-Starter LAB (NSLAB) from Dutch Gouda cheeses

April 2016

(Mature) Gouda cheese flavour is unique regarding its strong savoury, brothy and lingering aspects. Besides the starter lactic acid bacteria (LAB), non-starter LAB (NSLAB) are believed to contribute to the characteristic flavour formation in Dutch Gouda-type cheeses. Such NSLAB are present especially in ripened cheeses such as Gouda and Cheddar and have been investigated in the latter cheese ... [Show full abstract] quite repeatedly. The role and (level of) presence of NSLAB in Gouda cheeses however still relatively unknown and scarcely described in literature. In a recent study at NIZO NSLAB strains were isolated from various Dutch Gouda-type cheeses, including cheeses from the North Holland province (Noord-Hollandse kaas) and farmhouse cheeses. Various species, such as L. paracasei, L. (para)buchneri and L. brevis, could be identified using 16s rRNA sequence analysis. In part these strains have been applied in NIZO’s MicroCheese model for characterization and comparing of flavour forming and other properties. The results of our studies will be presented and discussed. Knowledge about relevant properties of NSLAB strains from Gouda cheeses offers possibilities for specific (adjunct) culture development for tailoring and enhancing cheese ripening.

Improving Educational Multimedia selection process using group decision support systems

May 2008 · International Journal of Advanced Media and Communication

Educational Multimedia (EMM) is becoming a mature and integral part of teaching and learning systems, mainly due to its ability improve teaching and learning. However, EMM selection and evaluation for higher education is a complex and interdisciplinary problem characterised by uncertainty, dynamics, explicit and implicit knowledge and constraints, and involvement of different stakeholders. In ... [Show full abstract] this work, a domain-based web oriented Group Decision Support System (GDSS) is proposed for the selection and continuous evaluation of EMM for educational providers. The viability of developing and validating a web-based GDSS, integrated with knowledge management (KM) and instructional design as a support tool to overcome the difficulties in the selection and evaluation of EMM, is investigated. The proposed solution manages and supports the six phases of planning, intelligence, design, choice, implementation, and evaluation. In addition to design and implementation, performance evaluation is also presented using data collected from experts, instructors, and EMM producers. The results reveal that the proposed solution can successfully help educational consumers in selecting and evaluating EMM.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MATURE AND PREPROPROTEIN FORM OF THIONINS IN SOME PLANT SPECIES; BIOINFORMAT...

May 2019

Thionins are one of the most important anti-microbial peptides in broad-range plant defense. A number of studies are present regarding the structural and biological role of mature thionins but preproprotein forms of these molecules have not been extensively studied. Thus, this study aimed to comparatively analyze a total of 56 thionin prepro-protein sequences from 14 different plant species. ... [Show full abstract] Analyses of primary, secondary and tertiary structures of these forms revealed that preproproteins with "gamma-thionin domain" were relatively shorter and more basic than proteins with "thionin domain" structure. In addition, members of "thionin domain" were more similar to each other than that of "gamma-thionin domain" forms. Sub-cellular localizations of these forms were predicted as ex-tracellular. Structural superposition of precursor and mature thionins showed that a large portion of precursor sequences are cleaved to form a functional protein. Although precursor forms demonstrated the significant structural divergence in modelled species , functional mature forms showed a structural pattern in α-helices; two α-helix proteins included the "thionin domain" family while one α-helix proteins contained the "gamma-thionin domain" family. Results of this study will become valuable theoretical knowledge and provide insight in terms of further understanding the formation of mature functional thionins thereby their biological roles.

THE IMPACT OF OFFICE AUTOMATION

December 1979

This chapter discusses the strategies for successful implementation of office of the future, methods by which impacts are studied, impacts as they have been observed to date, and how these impacts relate to organizational productivity. The office and organization are complex communication systems. The chapter further discusses the importance of communication in the implementation of office ... [Show full abstract] automation systems and the realization of beneficial impacts. The communication system concept has enabled the understanding of far deeper changes than the scattered efficiencies obtained from data and word processing support. There is a need for mature office automation technologies and also for mature installations. Most implementations have been rather immature because the knowledge of how to implement a system of the needed size and capability has not been applied. The strategies have not been specified in detail, and there have not been systems advanced enough to warrant a staged evolution. The chapter presents a step-by-step strategy to manage the human use of computer-based office systems. Commitment to evolving a mature implementation requires well-developed methods of assessing impact. The complex communication system requires an elaborate structure because of many interdependencies and variable relationships. This structure includes lists of the variables by kind and type, some of the possible values of the variables, a framework for measuring the variables, and methods of measurement.

The trouble with human beings, from the point of view of educating them, is that they learn most readily and are in greatest need of learning at a time when they are least able to judge what is most useful for them to learn. As a result our educational system has evolved into a pattern which allows an increasing choice of subject-matter to the student as he becomes more knowledgeable and more ...

The animate-inanimate distinction in preschool children

October 2014 · British Journal of Developmental Psychology

This study examined the development of the animate-inanimate (A-I) distinction in relation to other taxonomic categories in early childhood. Four- and 5-year-old children were administered two tasks measuring knowledge of taxonomic categories at various levels of inclusiveness. Across both matching-to-sample and object sorting tasks, the same pattern of categorization development was observed. ... [Show full abstract] Mastery of basic- and superordinate-level categories was demonstrated by 4 years of age. Although 5-year-old children performed above chance on A-I level categories, their abilities were not as mature as those of adults. Results of this study support and extend previous studies investigating the development of children's understanding of naïve biology during the preschool years.
