This chapter will consider the Portuguese context, with a relatively ‘traditional' eGovernment successful development, to analyse the way eJustice and open judiciary have progressed. The aim is to provide useful insights which may be considered in other contexts (countries), including a reflection on the factors that may account for differences in eJustice and open judiciary development when compared to eGovernment and open government achievements. eGovernment, eJustice, open government and open judiciary development processes are placed in dialogue, in order to discuss the factors that have contributed to differences and similarities in both generic eGovernment and open government and specific eJustice and open judiciary development in Portugal.

Abstract Research into the determinants of companies’ decisions about paying out dividends, which has been described in the Polish specialist literature, concentrates mainly on the dividends actually paid out. The research presented in the article refers to declarations of the companies included in their dividend policies. The aim of the article is to present an attitude to dividend policy exhibited by the companies listed on the Warsaw stock exchange. A particular attempt was made at identifying various formulas of constructing dividend policies by the companies and the declared conditions for dividend payments and their amounts. 118 dividend companies took part in the research and they were selected from among the companies listed on the Warsaw stock exchange in the years 2006-2012. The authors have analysed the dividend policy of the companies in terms of its components and the way it was formulated, as well as the determinants of decisions about dividend payments declared by the companies. The results of the analysis were referred to the types of strategies of the dividend policy presented in the specialist literature. The research results indicate that the boards of many companies do not consider formulating and publicising the principles of making dividend payments to be a relevant area of investor relations. The dividend policy of the companies is usually formulated too generally, with the use of general statements. Satisfying capital needs for the planned development processes appears to be a basic determinant of the distribution of profit, which is why residual dividend policy is prevalent in the analysed companies.

ResuméFormelle institutionelle kategoriseringer af småbørns sproglige udvikling analyseres i denne artikel dels som et udtryk for bestemte teoretiske positioner og faglige traditioner i måden at betragte sprog og sproglig udvikling på, og dels som normative faglige og politiske perspektiver på, hvordan børns sproglige udvikling bør forstås og forløbe. En analyse af de skiftende kategoriseringer udgør derfor et produktivt omdrejningspunkt for at belyse centrale udviklingsprocesser i rammesætningen af det sprogpædagogiske arbejde i dagtilbud. I artiklen identificeres tre forskellige tilgange til sproglig kategorisering af småbørn inden for dagtilbudsområdet. Artiklen trækker bredt på analyser af lovgivning, faglige diskurser, sproglige testmaterialer og på fremtrædende, nyere programmer og koncepter, der sigter mod at udvikle småbørns sprog. AbstractIn this article, formal institutional categorizations of young children’s language development are analyzed in two ways. Partly as an expression of certain theoretical positions and academic traditions in the way language and language development are considered, and partly as a normative academic and political perspective on how children’s language development should be understood and proceed. Therefore an analysis of the changing categorizations of young children’s language development is a productive focal point to highlight key development processes around the framing of the language work in day care. The article identifies three different approaches to linguistic categorization of young children in day care drawing broadly on analyzes of legislation, academic discourses, linguistic test materials and prominent, newer programs and concepts that aim to develop young children’s language.

Las principales ciudades de nuestro entorno se están viendo afectadas en la actualidad por tendencias urbanas globales que marcan el ritmo de su desarrollo. Procesos de transformación como la turistificación y la gentrificación están atravesando diferentes territorios, principalmente en los centros urbanos, e incidiendo de forma específica en la forma en que construimos nuestras ciudades. La relación entre problemas sociales como las dificultades en el acceso a la vivienda, la desigualdad y la segregación en el medio urbano y este tipo de transformaciones está siendo ampliamente estudiada por distintas disciplinas y cobrando relevancia en el ámbito académico. El presente artículo recoge los principales resultados y conclusiones de una investigación llevada a cabo con el objetivo de aproximarse al problema del acceso a la vivienda en este tipo de contextos, concretamente en el barrio madrileño de Lavapiés. De esta forma, se ha intentado analizar de forma crítica los procesos de transformación urbana y sus consecuencias en forma de problemas sociales.Major cities in Spain are being affected by global city trends that define the pace of their development. Processes of transformation like touristification and gentrification are crossing different territories, mainly in urban centers, and specifically affecting the way we build our cities. The relationship between social issues, like difficulties accessing housing, inequality, and the segregation of the city, and this type of transformation is being widely studied by a variety of disciplines and gaining more and more relevance in academia. This article presents the main results and conclusions of research carried out on the problem of access to housing in these kinds of contexts, specifically in the Lavapiés neighborhood of Madrid. In this way, the processes transforming the city and their consequences as social problems were analyzed from a critical perspective.

Transuterine migration is the passage of fertilised ova from one uterine horn into the other. The phenomenon has been described for animals of different species with a bicornuate type of uterus. Whether or not it occurs in rodents is questionable, but could have an impact on the way embryo transfers are carried out, i.e. unilaterally or bilaterally. The aim of this study was to examine the occurrence of transuterine migrations in nulliparous and multiparous mice after unilateral embryo transfer. Sixteen two-cell embryos were transferred into either the left or the right oviduct of mice with different genetic origin. With the exception of one reabsorption site in the opposite uterine horn, we never found evidence for the occurrence of transuterine migration. This is also true for embryo transfers carried out after parturition of the surrogate mother. Even the successful development of up to 13 embryos in one uterine horn did not result in transmigration but may be the reason for the widespread assumption that transuterine migration occurs after unilateral embryo transfers. The separation of the uterine body and the prevaginal portion of the uterine cervix into two canals by a septum seems to be the main reason for the absence of successful transuterine migration in mice.

AbstractProblemBayesian Networks (BN) can address real-world decision-making problems, and there is enormous and rapidly increasing interest in their use in healthcare. Yet, despite thousands of BNs in healthcare papers published yearly, evidence of their adoption in practice is extremely limited and there is no consensus on why.MethodA preliminary review was conducted to identify research gaps and justify the conduct of a broader scoping or systematic review of BNs in healthcareResultsWe highlight that: (1) there have been no significant attempts to systematically review the domain; (2) there are weaknesses in the way BN development processes are presented in the literature; and (3) in contrast to enthusiasm (including from clinicians) there has been negligible adoption of published BNs into clinical practice.ConclusionA systematic review of BNs in healthcare is needed to a) understand the chasm between research enthusiasm and clinical adoption; and b) improve clinical adoption.

The child has long been a powerfully affective figure in development work – whether as an abject victim or a joyful symbol of brighter futures. While the power of children to produce emotions in donors has been well studied, far less attention has been given to children’s own affective relationships with development organisations. This article explores the role of affect in children’s participation in non-governmental organisation (NGO) programs in Delhi, India. In particular, by focusing on spectacles of performance, this article highlights the importance of positive affects: happiness, fun, and joy in child-focused NGO programs. Yet, rather than a cynical critique of the way children’s joy is captured (typically in images) and translated into narratives of successful development, this article seeks to explore the possibilities for sincere ethnographic engagement with happiness itself. Drawing on the work of Sara Ahmed, and exploring the temporal dimensions of positive affects, I seek to engage seriously with children’s joyful experiences in development programs, while simultaneously questioning any simplistic equation of child happiness with developmental success.

Software Development Life Cycle

Currently, software industries are using different SDLC (software development life cycle) models which are designed for specific purposes. The use of technology is booming in every perspective of life and the software behind the technology plays an enormous role. As the technical complexities are increasing, successful development of software solely depends on the proper management of development processes. So, it is inevitable to introduce improved methodologies in the industry so that modern human centred software applications development can be managed and delivered to the user successfully. So, in this paper, we have explored the facts of different SDLC models and perform their comparative analysis.

Countries worldwide recognise the need for further efforts to develop robust and comparable policy-relevant evidence on government performance that can feed into the policy-making cycle. Despite this consensus and the growing quantity of data along with technological advances, many governments still have trouble generating, collecting, synthesising, and using evidence to inform decisions. This chapter looks at both the supply and demand sides of policy-related evidence to highlight some of the challenges faced by evidence producers and users as well as some of the solutions that have emerged and seem to hold potential. The search for appropriate indicators to monitor and evaluate open government initiatives provides a practical example of how the challenges can be dealt with. From the discussion arise a number of recommendations for improving governance indicators, the evidence on which they are based, and the way their findings can be put to use.
