This paper uses dynamic general equilibrium and computational methods, inspired by the multi-sector growth model structure in Stephen Turnovsky's work, to develop a theory that unifies two of the traditional explanations of structural change: sector-biased technical change and non-homothetic preferences.…

We develop a theory to explain the transition from stagnation to modern growth. We focus on the forces that shaped the evolution of total factor productivity in agriculture and manufacturing across history. More specifically, we build a multisector model of…

Introduction: The consequences of violent and antisocial behaviors among psychiatric hospital inpatients are serious and may affect treatment of the aggressor. Lack of knowledge concerning the incidence of this phenomenon and its characteristics helps perpetuate the current scenario. Objectives: To…

This paper uses dynamic general equilibrium and computational methods, inspired by the multi-sector growth model structure in Stephen Turnovsky’s previous and more recent work, to develop a theory that unifies two of the traditional explanations of structural change: sector-biased technical…

Este artigo descreve alguns princípios para a produção de objetos educacionais ergonômicos, os quais possibilitam a maximização do processamento dos conhecimentos propostos, evitando-se a sobrecarga cognitiva.
Nesse sentido, os educadores precisam ser capazes de apropriar-se das novas tecnologias para poderem…

Information Retrieval Systems normally deal with keywordbased technologies. Although those systems reach satisfactory results, they aren’t able to answer more complex queries done by users, especially those directly in natural language. To do that, there are the KnowledgeBased Systems, which…

Citizens demand more and more data for making decisions in their daily life. Therefore, mechanisms that allow citizens to understand and analyze linked open data (LOD) in a user-friendly manner are highly required. To this aim, the concept of Open…

The 2nd International Workshop on Business intelligence and the WEB (BEWEB) was co-located with the EDBT/ICDT 2011 Joint Conference in Uppsala (Sweden) on March 25, 2011. BEWEB intends to be an international forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas…

We propose a framework for studying the effect of KDD on CRM in the Egyptian banking sector. We believe that the KDD process and applications may perform a significant role in Egyptian banks to improve CRM, in particular for customer…

A data warehouse (DW) system stores data from multiple data sources in integrated form and provides capabilities for monitoring business operations to ensure compliance to strategic goals. As such, DWs constitute a fundamental building block for Business Intelligence (BI) operations.…
