Clustering Time Series Online In a Transformed Space
No full textSimilarity-based retrieval has attracted an increasing amount of attention in recent years. Although there are many different approaches, most are based on a common premise of dimensionality reduction and spatial access methods. Relative change of the time series data provides more meaning and insight view of problem domain. This paper presents our efforts to consider these relative changes of time series in similarity matching process. We propose a similarity distance measure that is based a series of critical points from the transformed difference space. Based on experiments with financial time series data, we conclude that our distance measure works as good as the Euclidean distance measure and PAA approach with normalized data. The proposed distance measure is a general distance metric therefore is suitable to deal with online similarity matching and it is not nessessary to maintain stream statistics over data streams during clustering of time serie

Putting Theory into Practice: Incorporating a Community Engagement Model into Online Pre-professional Courses in Law and Human Resource Management at a Minority-Serving Institution
No full textScholars widely agree that community-engaged learning can significantly improve the learning
experience for students while simultaneously having a positive impact on the community. This
paper explores student perceptions in online pre-professional undergraduate courses in the legal
studies and human resources management fields in which community-engaged learning
projects were utilized. Students were paired with community members in instructor-focused
activities linked to their academic curricula. Using reflective discussions, a survey, and focus
groups, the instructors attempted to gather important data related to student perceptions of the
community-engaged learning experience that builds upon prior research. While specific themes
emerged in each course, the most significant findings common to both groups were the following:
(1) students recognized the powerful impact of their profession, (2) students realized the increasing
importance of soft skills to their success, and (3) students appreciated the growth in their own
personal attitudes and professional skills. The student perceptions from these classes should lead
to a deeper understanding of the benefits and challenges of community-engaged online classrooms
and give guidance for developing future projects

No full textCapitalism in question: Hill, Addams and Follett as Early Social Entrepreneurship Advocates
No full textAffiliation Clayton State UniversityPurpose – This article seeks to facilitate a better understanding of the practical and theoretical contributions of Octavia Hill, Jane Addams, and Mary Parker Follett to the field of social entrepreneurship. The work and philosophies of these women, who impacted management in general, and social entrepreneurship in particular, will be examined, as they are three of history’s noteworthy, yet often forgotten social entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurship advocates.
Design/methodology/approach – Synthesizing articles from history journals, writings about the figures of interest, published works by the figures themselves and other resources, this paper illustrates how Hill, Addams, and Follett made valuable contributions to social entrepreneurship and questioned the rectitude of unadulterated capitalism.
Findings – This paper concludes that Hill, Addams, and Follett refuted the viewpoint that self-interest and single-minded self-survival were the best way to live and to conduct business. Through their words and actions, the women showed that they did indeed bring "capitalism in question" by recognizing the importance of seeking others' interests, and that they valued social entrepreneurship as a means to address societal ills and to aid the disenfranchised.
Originality/value – Social entrepreneurship is a fairly recent term. However, its core tenets have been embodied by key historical figures. This article highlights three of these figures, and uncovers these women’s contributions to the field of social entrepreneurship, which are made evident through their progressive ideologies and their work with housing schemes, settlement houses, and community center development
