Dependence tracing techniques for spreadsheets: An investigation
No full textSpreadsheet cells contain data but also may contain formulas that refer to data from other cells, perform operations on them, and render the results directly to show it to the user. In order to understand the structure of spreadsheets, one needs to understand the formulas that control cell-to-cell dataflow. Understanding this cell-to-cell inter-relation or dependence tracing is easier done in visual manners and therefore quite a few techniques have been proposed over the years. This paper aims to report the results of an investigative study of such techniques. The study is a first step of an attempt to evaluate the relevance of these techniques from the point of view of their benefits and effectiveness in the context of real world spreadsheet users. Results obtained from such a study will have the potential for motivating the conception of newer and better techniques, in case it is found that the need for them is still not fully catered.Software Engineerin
Publieke Opdrachtgever als Lerende Organisatie: Een Handreiking
No full textDe bouwsector is een projectensector: van woningbouw tot gebiedsontwikkeling, we organiseren onze activiteiten in projecten. Die projectstructuur blijkt – zowel in de praktijk als volgens de theorie – het structureel leren niet eenvoudig te maken. Voor vernieuwing in de bouwsector wordt leren echter als belangrijk en essentieel gezien. Enerzijds omdat zo het wiel niet steeds opnieuw wordt uitgevonden en er aandacht kan zijn voor innovatie. Anderzijds omdat het eenvoudigweg efficiënter werkt als je eerdere ervaringen mee kunt nemen. In deze handreiking kijken we naar hoe het leren in project georiënteerde organisaties in de bouw verbeterd kan worden. Dat is relevant voor publieke en semipublieke opdrachtgevers, zoals gemeenten, corporaties en waterschappen, maar zeker ook in het private domein, waaronder het bouwbedrijfsleven.Deze publicatie is gebaseerd op eerder onderzoek van de TU Delft (prof.dr.ir. Marleen Hermans, ir. Lizet Kuitert, dr.ir. Leentje Volkert) en de VU Amsterdam (prof.dr. Alfons van Marrewijk, Thijs Willems (MSc)).Public Commissionin
Identification of key measures to promote and enhance cycling for visiting National Parks: A case study of Peak District National Park, England
No full textIncreasing pressure of cars towards National Parks is alarming for both nature and tourists. This research identifies the potential measures that can promote and enhance cycling within and around National Parks. The methodological approach includes 1) a literature review to identify measures sucessfuly implemented in the past in different case studies, 2) development of a questionnaire based on these measures, for inquiry of experts involved in the planning process of the case study, Peak District National Park (PDNP), England and 3) use of Kendall's W coefficient of concordance to determine the consensus among experts, about the rank and order of these potentional measures. The experts are most in favor of a flexible entry fee based on the transport mode of the visitor, a mobility app as a route planner, and infrastructural development. The Kendall's W shows a varying agreement among experts from moderate to strong for different categories of measures. Management implications • The research identifies the need to consider cycling as an essential mode of mobility from the local and visitors' perspective. Cycling is an important, healthy activity that helps people to reach various destinations. • The research highlights important measures that can help managers to convince visitors to use a bicycle instead of another mode. • The research findings provide guidance and a framework to promote and enhance the concept of cycling for managers involved in the planning/policy-making of visitors' mobility within and around a national park. • Managers should divert their focus towards the promotion of active mobility. They should understand that promoting cycling tourism will help them to overcome the dominance by cars. • The research indicates practical steps in order to guide managers in the implementation of the proposed measures.The authors would like to thank a couple of researchers from the University of Derby, Buxton. First of all, a lot of thanks to Dr. Peter Wiltshier and Dr. Iride Azara, senior lecturer in tourism, for providing a platform to collect data and organizing interviews with concerned officials. The author would especially like to pay gratitude to Emma Pope, Ph.D. student, University of Derby, for her coordination during the data collection process. Lastly, a bundle of thanks to Michael Reardon, senior transport officer (DCC), for providing access to relevant data. The research work is part of doctoral research. The doctoral research is funded by the Higher Education Commission (HEC), Islamabad, Pakistan. The author would also like to thank the doctoral schools of
Hasselt University for the provision of a mobility grant
Autonomy, Universality and Singularity: Bourdieu, Attridge, and Hermans
No full textWhat is the ethical value of autonomous literary fiction? Doesn’t literary autonomy lead inevitably to a powerless l’art pour l’art position? In this article we approach these questions through a discussion of Bourdieu’s ideas on the autonomy of the literary field, and we map his shifting position over the years. We argue that Bourdieu’s concept of autonomy may fruitfully be connected with the notion of singularity of Derek Attridge. To conclude, we illustrate the power of this singularity through the concrete literary example of the ‘autonomous’ author Willem Frederik Hermans
