Demystifying blockchain: A critical analysis of challenges,applications and opportunities

The blockchain is considered to be the potential driver of the digital economy. The Blockchain technology outweighs the challenges associated with the traditional transaction business governed and regulated by the third trusted party. There is a growth in the interest among the researchers, the industry, and the academia to study and leverage the potential of Blockchain. Blockchain provides a decentralized and distributed public ledger for all the participating parties. Though it seems that blockchain is a viable choice and solution for all the centralized governed and regulated transactions (in digital online space), it has potential challenges that need to be resolved; opportunities to be explored, and applications to be studied. This paper utilizes a systematic literature review to study several research endeavors made in the domain of blockchain. To further research on blockchain adoption, the paper theoretically constructs an integrated framework of the blockchain innovation adoption process in an organization considering organizational and user acceptance perspectives. This would facilitate its widespread adoption, thereby achieving sustained leadership solutions. The paper offers 23 propositions to information systems (IS)/information management (IM) scholars with respect to innovation characteristics, organizational characteristics, environmental characteristics, and user acceptance characteristics. Further, the paper explores several areas of future research and directions that can provide deep insights for overcoming challenges and for the adoption of blockchain technology.     

特色兴校：民办高校实施内涵式发展战略的有效途径

由于民办高校较少受到行政化制约,有更灵活的机制来培育自身的办学特色,因此,特色兴校是民办高校实施内涵式发展战略的有效途径。＂特色兴校＂首先要解决好科学定位问题,关键是尊重传统,核心是注重创新,要切实遵循教育发展规律。办学特色要集中体现在民办高校的学科特色和人才培养质量上。     

“A就A”复说格式研究

有多住学者对“A就A”复说格式进行了分析和研究,取得了许多的成果,但对此类格式的分析远没有分析透,存在概念模糊、结论不一的现象。“A就A”的格式意义要分层次论证,分为句法结构层面上的“确认认可义”和语境层面上的“决断容忍”义。

Comparison of 3D reconstructive technologies used for morphometric research and the translation of knowledge using a decision matrix

The use of three‐dimensional (3D) models for education, pre‐operative assessment, presurgical planning, and measurement have become more prevalent. With the increase in prevalence of 3D models there has also been an increase in 3D reconstructive software programs that are used to create these models. These software programs differ in reconstruction concepts, operating system requirements, user features, cost, and no one program has emerged as the standard. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic comparison of three widely available 3D reconstructive software programs, Amira^®, OsiriX, and Mimics^®, with respect to the software's ability to be used in two broad themes: morphometric research and education to translate morphological knowledge. Cost, system requirements, and inherent features of each program were compared. A novel concept selection tool, a decision matrix, was used to objectify comparisons of usability of the interface, quality of the output, and efficiency of the tools. Findings indicate that Mimics was the best‐suited program for construction of 3D anatomical models and morphometric analysis, but for creating a learning tool the results were less clear. OsiriX was very user‐friendly; however, it had limited capabilities. Conversely, although Amira had endless potential and could create complex dynamic videos, it had a challenging interface. These results provide a resource for morphometric researchers and educators to assist the selection of appropriate reconstruction programs when starting a new 3D modeling project.

Inference making ability and its relation to comprehension failure in young children

Young children's reading comprehension skill is associated with their ability to draw inferences (Oakhill 1982, 1984). An experiment was conducted to investigate the direction of this relation and to explore possible sources of inferential failure. Three groups of children participated: Same-age skilled and less skilled comprehenders, and a comprehension-age match group. The pattern of performance indicated that the ability to make inferences was not a by-product of good reading comprehension, rather that good inference skills are a plausible cause of good reading comprehension ability. Failure to make inferences could not be attributed to lack of relevant general knowledge. Instead, the pattern of errors indicated that differences in reading strategy were the most likely source of these group differences.

都市山区建设用地增减挂钩可行性研究——基于土地覆被与耕地利用的视角

作为现阶段农村建设用地整治的重要手段,城乡建设用地增减挂钩(简称“挂钩”)在各地实践中取得了不少经验,尤其在用地指标短缺、村庄空心化严重的平原区效果显著,而在都市山区特殊的资源条件和土地覆被、利用形态下能否适用,还有待进一步探讨.本文以北京市门头沟区为例,结合遥感影像、GIS分析和实地调研,从土地覆被和耕地利用的角度,对城乡建设用地增减挂钩实施的可行性进行了分析和讨论,结果显示:①由于地类调绘的影响,山区农村居民点和采矿用地地类统计面积和地表覆被面积的不一致,造成增减挂钩实施过程中建设用地的“拆小建大”和生态用地的面积损失;②山区耕地后备资源少,且坡度大质量低,城乡建设用地增减挂钩的实施会加剧耕地占补质量的差距,同时,种植业比较效益的低下和耕作半径的扩大也会影响农户土地利用决策,造成耕地撂荒,致使增减挂钩的社会效益也难以保障.最后,提出山区农村建设用地整治的关键是在保护生态环境的前提下,结合资源优势、村庄产业类型和发展趋势,优化建设用地配置,提高土地利用效益.

基于决策者偏好的正负靶心灰靶决策方法

基于已有的研究,在多属性灰靶决策中将决策者对某些属性指标取值的理想偏好和选择偏好所决定的正靶心扩展到负靶心。分析不同的属性值偏好对决策方案指标的影响,并采用广义灰靶决策的方法处理决策者的偏好。基于未一致规范化决策方案样本值矩阵确定正负靶心后,再将决策者偏好的属性值置换求得融入决策者属性值偏好的正负靶心指标值。然后求得各个决策方案的正负靶心距,并以各个方案到正负靶心综合靶心距离的贴近度作为方案的评价依据。算例分析表明,该方法能够有效地处理决策者对某些属性的指标值有不同偏好的情况,且使得决策结果客观。
