Jeremy Siegel: 'The Market Will Stage Another Recovery'
Now that it's clear the recession will not turn into a depression, stocks are poised for a recovery, says Wharton finance professor Jeremy J. Siegel. In an interview with Knowledge@Wharton, he said last week's market decline in response to rising commodity prices -- especially for energy -- and fear of the ever-growing federal deficit was no more than a short-term setback.
Brazil's Gold: How Rio Won Its Olympic Bid
Last fall, after losing previous bids, Rio de Janeiro -- Brazil's second-largest city -- won the approval of the International Olympic Committee to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. According to Carlos Roberto Osorio, secretary general of the Brazilian Olympic Committee, this time around, Rio had learned from its earlier failed bids and had the success of hosting the 2007 Pan American Games under its belt. That, combined with Brazil's "special circumstances" of economic stability amid the glob
Tapping the uptapped: a winning strategy for emerging markets
Innovation is often a key driver to a company’s success. Take Siemens, for example, which has a reputation for being innovative – and successful.
But the correlation doesn’t stop there, according to Ursula Boehm, Vice President, Operations (International Business) at Siemens.

Description not set
Editing files and Emacs
This emacs lecture is given as part of the course G51UST, Unix Software Tools. The course gives an introduction to the Unix operating system. It teaches students how to use the Command Line Interface that is part of Unix and also teaches them how to write shell, sed and awk. In doing so the course covers the use of editors such as Emacs and vi with which the students can write their scripts.
It is presented in 3 formats:
* Screencast (video of the lecturer and presentation slides)
* Au
Dog examination techniques
This presentation has been developed to introduce veterinary students to the process of carrying out a systematic physical examination in canine patients. It is designed to act as an introduction to these processes and procedures only, giving the students a framework from which to work as they develop and refine these skills throughout the veterinary course.
Physical examination is a key skill which will be used throughout a veterinary surgeon's career and is a key determinant in selecting diag

Le télé-apprentissage et le développement de compétences
Cette étude vise à dresser un portrait général de l'état actuel du télé-apprentissage et du développement des compétences au sein des entreprises. Le télé-apprentissage semble jouer un rôle stratégique dans les contextes de la "nouvelle économie", des "organisations apprenantes" et du "nouveau paradigme pédagogique".,Note de recherche No 2002-2, Télé-université, Université du Québec
Précis de recherche en Ingénierie des EIAH
Français + English
Ce document est destiné aux chercheurs travaillant sur les Environnements Informatiques pour l’Apprentissage Humain (EIAH). Sa raison d’être est le constat qu’il y a une difficulté en soi à expliciter clairement les travaux de recherche liés à la conception et la construction des EIAH ou, en d’autres termes, en ingénierie des EIAH. L’objectif de ce document est de promouvoir l’idée qu’il est indispensable de mieux décrire ces travaux de recherche, et de propo
Some Methodological Aspects of the Development of an ICT Research and Technology
Development and Inn
The aim of this paper is to share the experience gained at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics
(FMI), Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” (SU), in the up to now work within the scope of a project
funded by the Capacities Specific Programme of FP7. At the first call for proposals of this Programme in
2007 the EC provided a grant to the project SISTER of SU, aimed at strengthening the research capacity
of FMI in the area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The main go
Extended architecture of knowledge management system with Web 2.0 technologies
Knowledge management systems (KMS) become increasingly important in periods of crises and
economic slowdown, as many organizations are forced to lay off people, to reduce research and ICT
budgets, to restructure departments and to optimize their costs. Subsequently, organizational knowledge
assets, and mainly the existing tacit knowledge are threatened. This raises the importance of
technologies that could assist organizational efforts to capture the existing knowledge and to mobilize it in

PROLEARN framework for process-oriented learning and knowledge work
Given the importance of an organisationÂ’s human capital to business success, aligning training and competency development with business needs is a key challenge. Many companies did initiate in the past knowledge management activities or founded corporate universities as the organization intended to help companies to face this challenge. In this deliverable, we talk about knowledge work and learning management
as a concept to "increase business performance" through a better short- and long-term
Participatory design in open education: a workshop model for developing a pattern language
Technologically enhanced learning environments raise complex challenges for their designers, developers and users. Design patterns and pattern languages have recently emerged as a potential framework for addressing some of these challenges. However, the uptake of design patterns has been slow outside of the computer science community. We argue that this is largely a consequence of a weak positioning of pattern languages, as a form of delivering expert knowledge to layperson, and suggest an alter
Student-Centered Support Systems to Sustain Logo-Like Learning
Conventional wisdom attributes the lack of effective technology use in classrooms to a shortage of professional development or poorly run professional development. At the same time, logo-like learning environments require teachers to develop more expertise not only in technology but also in pedagogy.
This paper proposes that the perceived lack of technology professional development is a myth and that traditional professional development is ill-suited to teaching teachers how to create logo-like
How can we take into account student conceptions of the facial angle in a palaeontology laboratory w
This study investigates student conceptions of the facial angle as a way to attain understanding elements of the theory of human evolution. The chosen laboratory work involved determining the species of a human cranium, and students had to design and write down their own experimental procedure. Three versions of the laboratory work were carried out leading to different student productions. Three aspects will be presented in the present paper, which are related to the three conceptual difficultie
