Abstract Various aspects of innovation management have been discussed in literature over the past few decades. Most of the innovation management frameworks have been formulated by undertaking studies in the developed world and lack the industry / culture specific focus. In this paper we revisit the generic innovation management studies to develop an innovation management framework for highlighting the factors affecting innovation specifically at the ICT sector of Pakistan. A detailed literature review has been conducted to identify the factors included in the past innovation management models. To identify the factors specific for Pakistan, senior level professionals, working at the Pakistani ICT organizations were interviewed. A comparative analysis of the innovation management frameworks for Pakistan against those previously found in literature revealed interesting similarities and differences. Based on the study findings, an innovation management framework is developed that highlights the present factors which are important for innovation in the ICT sector for Pakistan. This framework can be used by Pakistan and other underdeveloped countries for improving their innovation in ICT sectors in particular and other sectors in general.

The results of a phycofloristic study on three springs in the Huasteca Potosina region are presented; 67 species are reported. Floristic similarities and differences among the springsare analized, as well as the relationship between species and environmental factors. Microhabitas were defined in the springs as well as the principal algal asociations that characterize them. Light intensity and current velocity are the most important factors affecting the predominant growth forms present in this type of habitat.

The purpose of this workshop was to collect together colleagues investigating the intermediary metabolism of protozoa, with a view to discussing those pathways involved in energy metabolism and the production of ATP and other high-energy compounds, together with the factors affecting energy balance. The aspects of energy metabolism chosen for discussion comprised the metabolic pathways ranging from the strictly anaerobic to highly oxidative; subcellular compartmentation of these pathways within the protozoa; the functional role of these pathways including a consideration of aero-tolerance; and the use of inhibitors as biochemical probes and potential chemotherapeuticagents. Hopefully this approach has produced a broad 'over-view' of important areas of protozoan energy metabolism which will enable both the specialist and non-specialist to appreciate the similarities and differences between the metabolic behaviour of a range of protozoa.

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe the experience of taking HIV medications (HAART) and identify factors affecting adherence. Participants were 10 middle-aged and older (35 to 58) HIV-positive adults (four homosexual men and six women with a history of substance abuse) who were asked to describe the daily experience of taking HAART. The metaphor that emerged from the data was Life In a Pill Bottle, which reflected the central focus of HAART in participants’ lives and also described the complex relationships that evolved between and among the person, the medications, and the virus. Three themes comprised the experience: commitment versus perseverance, feeling bad, and healing helpers. Similarities and differences were noted between men and women.

This article takes the definition of a sport as “an institutionalized game” under which both “traditional sports” and “E-sports” fall. It takes a comparative analytical approach that examines the historical documentation and cultural output of these two major categories of sports and their early institutionalization. Given the increasing interest in, engagement with and spectator numbers of E-sports, it is worth considering the key similarities and differences between various institutions. This article examines traditional sports institutions from the mid-19th to late 19th century alongside E-sports institutions that emerged from the mid-1990s to the present day. Firstly, the processes of institutionalization are analyzed with these examples in mind and, secondly, are compared to draw out the significant differences and similarities between the factors affecting early institutionalization.

ABSTRACTThree children were observed interacting with their mothers at three different times: before the onset of single words, when vocabulary consisted of 10 words, and when vocabulary consisted of 50 words. Relations between communicative functions and acoustic analyses of prosodie variables (i.e. rise vs. nonrise of terminal contours) were studied. Considerable variability was found among the children in the number of rises produced overall and those produced for any function. Each child's use of rise was fairly constant over time and rises were produced RELATIVELY more frequently than nonrises with functions requiring a response from the listener. Factors affecting similarities and differences are discussed.

Textbooks are a standard component of undergraduate mathematics courses, but research shows that students often do not view textbooks as productive resources to support learning. This article seeks to understand the factors affecting how individuals engage in reading a calculus textbook excerpt and what they learn from reading. To better understand the separate roles of background knowledge and other reading practices, we compare 2 readers: a 2nd-semester calculus student and a nonmathematics STEM professor. We employ the concepts of sense making and the implied reader to analyze each reader’s experience and a disciplinary literacy perspective to explain the similarities and differences we find between the 2 readers. We propose the concept of didactical disciplinary literacy—an adaptation of disciplinary literacy applied to didactical texts—to describe the ways that the professor drew on his identity as a teacher to shape his reading practices.
