Research Gap

Open Source Software (OSS) community has attracted a large number of distributed developers to work together, e.g. reporting and discussing issues as well as submitting and reviewing code. OSS developers create links among development units (e.g. issues and pull requests in GitHub), share their opinions and promote the resolution of development units. Although previous work has examined the role of links in recommending high-priority tasks and reducing resource waste, the understanding of the actual usage of links in practice is still limited. To address the research gap, we conduct an empirical study based on the 5W1H model and data mining from five popular OSS projects on GitHub. We find that links originating from a PR are more common than the other three types of links, and links are more frequently created in Documentation. We also find that average duration between development units’ create time in a link is half a year. We observed that link behaviors are very complex and the duration of link increases with the complexity of link structure. We also observe that the reasons of link are very different, especially in P–P and I–I. Finally, future works are discussed in conclusion.

This paper presents a framework for the integrated use of formal knowledge engineering methods and data mining based knowledge discovery methods. Knowledge is a key enterprise asset, and organizations are adopting both knowledge engineering and knowledge discovery paradigms for better knowledge management and enhanced decision support capability. Although there exists a useful interdependence between these endeavors, not much effort has been focused on using the full potential of one for the other. This paper presents a framework for the integrated use of established formal knowledge engineering methods and knowledge discovery processes with the ultimate intent of better managing the enterprise knowledge life cycle. It provides a brief overview of the knowledge discovery processes, and introduces a class of formal knowledge engineering methods and the perceived role of these methods in supporting the integration between the two worlds of knowledge discovery and knowledge engineering.

The variable positioning of bare personal pronouns in Old English prose remains something of a mystery. In the role of prepositional object, for example, these elements are often found in positions where other prepositional object types are rarely attested. This article reports the results of an empirical study of a correlation between the variable placement of these pronouns and their specification for grammatical person. By demonstrating that this correlation defies a number of independent explanations, it is argued that person is an important aspect of the syntax of these constituents. The identification of two further correlations, one involving narrative mode and the other involving the relative positioning of preposition and verb, further demonstrates the value of quantitative methods in historical linguistics.

The article presents an overview of the relationships between creativity and personality traits, namely, tolerance/intolerance for uncertainty, emotional intelligence, intuition, and self-assessed creativity. We report on the results of an empirical study that highlighted the importance of this Positive Triad of traits in creativity measured via the ‘Creative Cartoons’ task. Three groups of accomplished creative professional participated in the study (writers, composers, and directors), for a total n = 52. In addition to administering the Creative Cartoons task, we administered a set of assessments: self-assessed creativity (using the procedure parallel to that proposed by A. Furnham for studying self-assessed intelligence), T. Kornilova’s New questionnaire for tolerance to uncertainty (NTN), the Emotional Intelligence (EmIn) questionnaire developed by D. Lyusin, and S. Epstein’s Rational-Experiential Inventory. A correlational analyses of the relationships between the studied traits provided support for the hypotheses related to the positive role of the Positive Triad of traits in creativity. Psychometric creativity was related to self-assessed creativity and trust in intuition, whereas intuition was related to tolerance for uncertainty, in its turn related to interpersonal emotional intelligence. Intrapersonal emotional intelligence, on the other hand, was negatively correlated with interpersonal intolerance for uncertainty: thus, both emotional intelligence traits were associated with a more positive attitude towards uncertainty.

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretically grounded discussion on big data mining for customer insights, as well as to identify and describe a research gap due to the shortcomings in the use of the temporal approach in big data analyzes in scientific literature sources. This article adopts two research methods. The first method is the systematic search in bibliographic repositories aimed at identifying the concepts of big data mining for customer insights. This method has been conducted in four steps: search, selection, analysis, and synthesis. The second research method is the bibliographic verification of the obtained results. The verification consisted of querying the Scopus database with previously identified key phrases and then performing trend analysis on the revealed Scopus results. The main contributions of this study are: (1) to organize knowledge on the role of advanced big data analytics (BDA), mainly big data mining in understanding customer behavior; (2) to indicate the importance of the temporal dimension of customer behavior; and (3) to identify an interesting research gap: mining of temporal big data for a complete picture of customers.

This research intends to examine the effect of pricing bundling capability on price value offerings and marketing performance. It also tests the role of price value offerings as a mediating variable. Price building capacity develops from pricing capability to fill the research gap of its effect on marketing performance. Some studies prove that pricing capability affects performance. On the other hand, some found that it does not and recommend further research to improve this capability in line with the price strategy implemented by the company. Previous research on price strategy focuses on the consumers’ perspective. This study concentrates on the producers’ viewpoint. We collected data from 183 SME’s restaurants’ managers in Purwokerto using structured questionnaires. Structural Equation Model is used to obtain the aim of the research and analyze the measurement and structural model. The result suggests that pricing bundling capability positively affects pricing capacity on marketing performance and price value offerings. It also shows that price value offerings positively affect the marketing performance and that price value offerings mediate the effect of pricing capability on marketing performance. We suggest the SME’s restaurants’ managers pay attention to their pricing bundling capability to increase the price value offerings and marketing performance.

The local turn debate sometimes falls into the trap of romanticising the local, while vilifying international involvement in peacebuilding. Although this post-colonially informed argument makes immediate theoretical sense, there is a dearth of empirically driven comparative research which explores whether, and if so how, an international presence actually influences local peacebuilding efforts. In order to address this research gap, the present article sets out to study the execution of local peacebuilding programmes in two relatively similar cases where one (Nepal) has enjoyed little international peacebuilding presence, while the other (Cambodia) has seen a massive influx of international actors and funding in its peacebuilding endeavour. Our empirical material indicates that international support for the local peacebuilding process in Cambodia has bolstered it, while the locally owned process in Nepal has been far from successful in forging the conditions for sustainable peace. To fathom why these particular outcomes have occurred, however, the full answers are unlikely to be found by merely scrutinising whether the peacebuilding processes have been primarily internationally or locally driven. Instead, we suggest that peacebuilding outcomes are better understood by studying situated practices.

To discuss the role of the organizational actor in the process of social transformation in territories as a promoter of social gains and responses is what this chapter is all about. The discussion was carried out through theoretical landmarks on social innovation, and an empirical study in the articulation of the semi-arid (SAA) organization, which is aimed at creating conditions for coexistence with the most arid region of Brazil. Results show that the organizational actor plays the roles of enhancing the society capacity to act, to create new roles and relationships with the other actors, and to promote access to resources, thus enabling family farmers to better meet their own needs. It is concluded that the social innovation initiative studied is characterized by its dissemination in sync with specific actions articulated in a network and adapted to the contexts, with the organizational actor as the pivot and representative of the paradigmatic transition.

This study explores the role of ownership and the relationship to the separation and control issue. Investigate the nature of agency cost generated by the existence of the ownership. The principal purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the ownership and dividend policy. This empirical study using regression model for the hypothesis testing. The sample consists of 34 firms by 4 subsectors in period of 2010-2011, which is listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange. The findings show that, partially, institutional ownership significantly influences dividend policy but the other side, public and managerial ownership not significantly influences to dividend policy. Simultaneously, institutional, public and managerial ownership influences dividend policy. The level and role of agency cost depends not only on ownership.

Whilst the concept of explicitation has spawned many research projects in the field of Translation Studies, implicitation remains an understudied area. This article addresses that research gap, reporting on the findings of an empirical study on Danish translators’ use of implicitations in their Spanish to Danish translations of an excerpt from a judgment. The aim of the study was to examine, on the one hand, whether the translators used implicitations in their translations, and, on the other hand, whether differences could be observed between experts and non-experts. The data reported here consisted of a Spanish source text and 10 translations into Danish by five experts and five non-experts. The translations were analysed using qualitative methods (consisting of contrastive text analysis) followed by a quantitative synthesis. Overall, the findings revealed that implicitations were very rare and, consequently, no conclusive results could be drawn in relation to translation expertise.

Normal Ranges

SummaryWe measured total and free protein S (PS), protein C (PC) and factor X (FX) in 393 healthy blood donors to assess differences in relation to sex, hormonal state and age. All measured proteins were lower in women as compared to men, as were levels in premenopausal women as compared to postmenopausal women. Multiple regression analysis showed that both age and subgroup (men, pre- and postmenopausal women) were of significance for the levels of total and free PS and PC, the subgroup effect being caused by the differences between the premenopausal women and the other groups. This indicates a role of sex-hormones, most likely estrogens, in the regulation of levels of pro- and anticoagulant factors under physiologic conditions. These differences should be taken into account in daily clinical practice and may necessitate different normal ranges for men, pre- and postmenopausal women.
