THE EMERGENCE OF PROJECT TEAM ORGANIZATION : TOWARDS A REDEFINITION OF ORGANIZATIONAL KNOWLEDGE

The emergence of project team organization, as a way of structuring companies invites a redefinition of organizational knowledge. Based on a synthesis of the existing definitions of organizational knowledge, this paper puts forward a typology of the various forms assumed by organizational knowledge, integrating a distinction between functional knowledge and project knowledge. 1 Adjunct Professor, ESSEC Business School Avenue Bernard Hirsch B.P. 105 95021 CERGY-PONTOISE Cedex FRANCE ; Tel. : 33.

Unintended Effects of Emphasizing the Role of Climate Change in Recent Natural Disasters

ABSTRACT In 2017, the United States experienced a series of natural hazards (hurricanes, wildfires, and blizzards) that resulted in significant loss of life and property. Emphasizing the role of climate change in these events might offer an important tool for engagement, particularly with skeptical audiences. However, in a survey experiment (N = 1504) involving three different natural hazards – hurricanes, wildfires, and blizzards – we find that emphasizing the role of climate change in these hazards produced unintended effects for climate change skeptics. In particular, skeptics experienced resistance to the news article, which associated with reduced perceived hazard severity. These backfiring effects likely serve as a defensive mechanism used by skeptics to maintain their prior views of climate change, illustrating the challenges faced in communicating climate change to skeptical audiences. These findings offer additional insight for those attempting to communicate climate-related risk information to skeptical audiences.
Mind Invasion: Situated Affectivity and the Corporate Life Hack

In view of the philosophical problems that vex the debate on situated affectivity, it can seem wise to focus on simple cases. Accordingly, theorists often single out scenarios in which an individual employs a device in order to enhance their emotional experience, or to achieve new kinds of experience altogether, such as playing an instrument, going to the movies, or sporting a fancy handbag. I argue that this narrow focus on cases that fit a “user/resource model” tends to channel attention away from more complex and also more problematic instances of situated affectivity. Among these are scenarios in which a social domain draws individuals into certain modes of affective interaction, often by way of attunement and habituation to affective styles and interaction patterns that are normative in the domain in question. This can lead to a phenomenon that is not so much “mind extension” than “mind invasion”: affectivity is dynamically framed and modulated from without, often contrary to the prior orientations of the individuals in question. As an example, I discuss affective patterns prevalent in today's corporate workplace. I claim that workplace affect sometimes contributes to what is effectively a “hack” of employees' subjectivity.

Metals concentration and bioaccumulation in the marine-coastal trophic web from Buenos Aires province southern coast, Argentina

ABSTRACT Metals accumulated in the tissues of organisms inhabiting marine ecosystems generally reflect their bioavailable levels within that environment. The aim of this work was to study the presence and concentration of metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn) and its bioaccumulation in liver-ink sac (n = 12) and muscle (n = 12) tissues of loliginid squids, Loligo sanpaulensis, in liver (n = 15) and muscle (n = 15) tissues of white croakers, Micropogonias furnieri, and in muscle (n = 12) tissues of franciscana dolphins, Pontoporia blainvillei, as representatives of different trophic levels of an estuarial ecosystem from the southern coast of Buenos Aires. Except for Pb, all metals were detectable in the hepatic tissues. Bioaccumulation was observed for Fe, Cr and Ni in muscle of squids. Zn levels in muscle samples increased with the trophic level of the species analysed. Necochea-Quequén presents relatively high levels of Ni and Cr in the tissue samples of squids and fishes given other locations of southern hemisphere, indicating a possible anthropic enrichment. These outcomes provide the necessary basis for the environmental monitoring of an area with relevance for fishing and high anthropic activity.
A Synthetic Indicator Method Applied to Putnam's Social Capital Indicators: The Case of Italy

In his 1993 book titled Making Democracy Work , R. D. Putnam (1993) paved the way for many studies on the distribution of social capital in the different Italian regions. Moreover, he introduced the use of some ‘specific’ indicators to measure social capital considered as civicness , which have ‘systematically’ been adopted in subsequent investigations. In the present essay, the synthetic indicator method, which was designed by Pena (1977; 2009), was applied to the data collected by other scholars (specifically, Cartocci, 2007; Bordandini, Cartocci, 2014; Vanelli, Cartocci, 2015) who replicated Putnam’s research (1993), in order to create a synthetic indicator of social capital. This ‘methodological experiment’ confirms that, in the northern part of Italy, civicness is more widespread than in the South. Furthermore, it proves that voluntary activities and blood donation actions have a major impact on social capital indicators.
Endogenous Digitalis-Like Factors: An Overview of the History

The sodium pump is a ubiquitous cell surface enzyme, a Na, K ATPase, which maintains ion gradients between cells and the extracellular fluid (ECF). The extracellular domain of this enzyme contains a highly conserved binding site, a receptor for a plant derived family of compounds, the digitalis glycosides. These compounds inhibit the enzyme and are used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and certain cardiac arrhythmias. The highly conserved nature of this enzyme and its digitalis receptor led to early suggestions that endogenous regulators might exist. Recent examination of this hypothesis emerged from research in two separate areas: the regulation of ECF volume by a natriuretic hormone (NH), and the regulation of peripheral vascular resistance by a circulating inhibitor of vascular Na, K ATPase. These two areas merged with the hypothesis that NH and the vascular Na, K ATPase inhibitor were in fact the same entity, and that it played a causative role in the pathophysiology of certain types of hypertension. The possibility that multiple endogenous digitalis-like factors (EDLFs) exist emerged from efforts to characterize the circulating enzyme inhibitory activity. In this review, the development of this field from its beginnings is traced, the current status of the structure of EDLFs is briefly discussed, and areas for future development are suggested.
The Bright and Dark Sides of Talent at Work: A Study of the Personalities of Talent-Development-Program Participants

This study investigated bright- and dark-side personality traits of participants in talent-development programs in a range of private Danish organizations (N = 602). Previous research has looked at the personalities of leaders and high performers, but we do not know much about those who are selected for talent-development programs. They resemble high performers and leaders by being more planful and organized, self-confident, persuasive, and trusting—but also manipulative and grandiose. However, the results indicate that becoming a participant in leadership-development program is largely a question of the selecting in of desired behavior rather than the selecting out of undesired behavior. The results support the use of personality instruments before selection to talent-development programs, in addition to being used as a part of these programs.
Hypogeous Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Species on Roots and in Small Mammal Diet in a Mixed-Conifer Forest

The purpose of this study was to estimate the portion of an ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi root community with a hypogeous fruiting habit. We used molecular methods (DNA sequence analysis of the internally transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA) to compare three viewpoints: ECM fungi on the roots in a southern Sierra Nevada Abies-dominated old-growth forest, fungi in scat samples collected from small mammals in the same forest, and hypogeous sporocarps found throughout the Sierra Nevada. We found that hypogeous taxa accounted for a minimum of 21% of the species and 25-40% of the dry root biomass of all samples. This estimate is two to three times greater than estimates from previous studies. This difference may be due to methodological advantages of this study, but may also be related to conditions in dry forests typical of western North America where prolonged drought may favor this form of fruiting. Although molecular analysis of scat samples did not add to our view of the ECM roots, we readily isolated sequences from Rhizopogon species. From these results we inferred that two species, R. occidentalis and R. olivaceotinctus, are represented primarily in the spore bank and may be dependent on substantial disturbance to become abundant on roots.

The effect of mindfulness-based therapy on anxiety and depression: A meta-analytic review.

OBJECTIVE Although mindfulness-based therapy has become a popular treatment, little is known about its efficacy. Therefore, our objective was to conduct an effect size analysis of this popular intervention for anxiety and mood symptoms in clinical samples. METHOD We conducted a literature search using PubMed, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Library, and manual searches. Our meta-analysis was based on 39 studies totaling 1,140 participants receiving mindfulness-based therapy for a range of conditions, including cancer, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and other psychiatric or medical conditions. RESULTS Effect size estimates suggest that mindfulness-based therapy was moderately effective for improving anxiety (Hedges's g = 0.63) and mood symptoms (Hedges's g = 0.59) from pre- to posttreatment in the overall sample. In patients with anxiety and mood disorders, this intervention was associated with effect sizes (Hedges's g) of 0.97 and 0.95 for improving anxiety and mood symptoms, respectively. These effect sizes were robust, were unrelated to publication year or number of treatment sessions, and were maintained over follow-up. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that mindfulness-based therapy is a promising intervention for treating anxiety and mood problems in clinical populations.
Optimal Kalman filtering with random sensor delays, packet dropouts and missing measurements

In this paper an optimal Kalman filter design problem is studied for networked stochastic linear discrete-time systems with random measurement delays, packet dropouts and missing measurements. Any of these three uncertainties in the measurement can occur in the network in the same run. Based on a Markov chain, we develop a unified/combined model to accommodate random delay, packet dropouts and missing measurements. Some simulation examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Police officers killed on duty: Comparing the influence of social investment on line of duty deaths of men and women officers in the United States

In a unique exploration of line of duty police deaths, Kachurik and colleagues found that police officers in the USA with greater social investment (i.e., officers who were married and had children) were less likely than single officers to be feloniously killed (compared with accidental death) in the line of duty (Kachurik S, Ruiz J and Staub M [2013] Police officers killed on duty: a different view. International Journal of Police Science & Management 15: 114–124). This was confirmed by Gibbs et al. (2014) studying deaths of Baltimore Police Department officers, finding marriage, but not the number of children an officer had, was negatively associated with officer homicide (Gibbs JC, Ruiz J and Klapper-Lehman SA [2014] Police officers killed on duty: replicating and extending a unique look at officer deaths. International Journal of Police Science & Management 16: 277–287). Because marriage and children may have varying effects on each sex, this study explores the relationship between social investment and police officer deaths in the line of duty, comparing men and women officers. With a sample of 4840 men and 207 women police officers in the USA who died in the line of duty between 1980 and 2014, logistic regression confirmed the link between social investment and manner of death—although this relationship presented differently for men and women officers. Specifically, children, but not marriage, significantly influenced the death of women police officers; those who were married at the time of their death were less likely to be killed in the line of duty (compared with accidental death) than unmarried officers, but the number of children had no effect on line of duty deaths for women officers. Marriage had no effect on line of duty deaths for men, although having children increased the odds of a felonious death—which is inconsistent with prior studies. Implications are discussed.
Temporal dynamics of information content carried by neurons in the primary visual cortex

We use multi-electrode recordings from cat primary visual cortex and investigate whether a simple linear classifier can extract information about the presented stimuli. We find that information is extractable and that it even lasts for several hundred milliseconds after the stimulus has been removed. In a fast sequence of stimulus presentation, information about both new and old stimuli is present simultaneously and nonlinear relations between these stimuli can be extracted. These results suggest nonlinear properties of cortical representations. The important implications of these properties for the nonlinear brain theory are discussed.
dimensional dilaton black holes with cosmological constant

Static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions with non-zero cosmological constant are investigated. A formal power series solution is found. It is proved that the number of regular horizons is less than or equal to 2 for positive cosmological constant and is less than or equal to 1 for negative cosmological constant. This shows a striking contrast to the fact that the Reissner-Nordstrøm-de Sitter black hole with positive cosmological horizon has 3 regular horizons.
Incremental Division of Very Large Point Clouds for Scalable 3D Surface Reconstruction

The recent progress in Structure from Motion and Multi-View Stereo as well as the always rising number of high resolution images lead to ever larger 3D point clouds. Unfortunately, due to the large amount of memory and processing power needed, there are no suitable means for manipulating these massive amounts of data as a whole, such as fusion by 3D surface reconstruction methods. In this paper we, therefore, present an algorithm for division of very large 3D point clouds into smaller subsets allowing for a parallel 3D reconstruction of many suitably small parts. Within our space division algorithm, octrees are built representing the divided space. To limit the maximum size of the underlying data structure, we present an incremental extension of the algorithm which renders a division of billions of 3D points possible and speeds up the processing on multi-core systems. As the proposed space division does not guarantee a density-based decomposition, we show the limitations of kd-trees as an alternative data structure. Space division is especially important for volumetric 3D reconstruction, as the latter has a high memory requirement. To this end, we finally discuss the adaptability of the space division to existing surface reconstruction methods to achieve scalable 3D reconstruction and show examples on existing and novel datasets which demonstrate the potential of the incremental space division algorithm.

Reasoning with Minimal Belief and Negation as Failure: Algorithms and Complexity

We study the computational properties of the propositional fragment of MBNF, the logic of minimal belief and negation as failure introduced by Lifschitz, which can be considered as a unifying framework for several nonmonotonic formalisms, including default logic, autoepistemic logic, circumscription, epistemic queries and logic programming. We characterize the complexity and provide algorithms for reasoning in propositional MBNF. In particular, we show that skeptical entailment in propositional MBNF is Π3p-complete, hence, it is harder than reasoning in all the above mentioned propositional formalisms for nonmonotonic reasoning. We also prove the exact correspondence between negation as failure in MBNF and negative introspection in Moore's autoepistemic logic.
Stay with the ‘FLO’: evaluating a mobile texting service to enhance social work student retention while on placement

Abstract Practice placements are a trigger point for social work students dropping out of university. This small pilot study, explores the use of ‘FLO’, an automated text message service, to support social work students on their 70-day placement. Participants were asked to complete a FLO evaluation questionnaire and to attend a focus group to explore their experiences. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis of focus group transcripts. Five key themes emerged: student retention, sense of belonging and attendance; importance of the initial text message; frequency of FLO text messages and reminders; stopping the FLO and the future potential of FLO. Student retention was 100% during the placement period. Issues concerning the costs incurred by participants when sending reply text messages were also evident. The authors conclude that FLO, or other similar mobile technologies may be a useful addition to approaches to improve undergraduate social work student retention rates during placement. However, the correct focus and student involvement in designing the content of the text messages is critical.
The influence of numerical noises on statistics computation of chaotic dynamic systems

It is well known that chaotic dynamic systems (such as three-body system, turbulent flow and so on) have the sensitive dependance on initial conditions (SDIC). Unfortunately, numerical noises (such as truncation error and round-off error) always exist in practice. Thus, due to the SDIC, long-term accurate prediction of chaotic dynamic systems is practically impossible, and therefore numerical simulations of chaos are only mixtures of "true" solution with physical meanings and numerical noises without physical meanings. However, it is traditionally believed that statistic computations based on such kind of "mixtures" of numerical simulations of chaotic dynamic systems are acceptable. In this paper, using the so-called "clean numerical simulation" (CNS) whose numerical noises might be much smaller even than micro-level physical uncertainty and thus are negligible, we gain accurate prediction of a chaotic dynamic system in a long enough interval of time. Then, based on these reliable simulations, the influence of numerical noises on statistic computations is investigated. It is found that the influence of numerical noises is negligible when statistic results are time-independent. Unfortunately, when a chaotic dynamic system is far from equilibrium state so that its statistics are time-dependent, numerical noises have a great influence even on statistic computations. It suggests that even the direct numerical simulations (DNS) might not give reliable statistic computations for non-equilibrium dynamic systems with the SDIC.
Understanding street-level bureaucrats’ attitude towards clients: Towards a measurement instrument

The attitude of street-level bureaucrats towards their clients has an impact on the decisions they take. Still, such attitudes have not received much scholarly attention, nor are they generally studied in much detail. This article uses Breckler's psychological multicomponent model of attitude to develop a scale to measure street-level bureaucrats' general attitude towards their clients. By means of a test study (N=218) and a replication study (N = 879), the article shows that street-level bureaucrats' attitude towards clients consists of four different components: a cognitive attitude component, a positive affective attitude component, a negative affective attitude component and a behavioural attitude component. It also establishes a conceptual and empirical distinction from related attitudes, such as prosocial motivation, work engagement, bureaucrats’ rule-following identities and self-efficacy, and suggests avenues for application and further validation among different groups of street-level bureaucrats. This instrument opens up opportunities for theory testing and causality testing that surpasses case-specific considerations.
