The Case for Secular Activism

2015
A critique of irrational social institutions and their role in upholding oppression would not be complete without a discussion of religion. The Nonhuman Animal rights movement has sustained bloated nonprofits, sexism, and racism despite the tendency for these institutions to work against liberation efforts.

A case of apparent active transport. I

The Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics, 1965
When an experimenter determines the “internal concentration” of a substance in a cell (or cell suspension) it is in general the average concentration (quantity of substance divided by cell volume or volume of cell water) which is measured. When this concentration is less than that in the ambient medium but there is either no flow into the cell or flow ...

Viewing use cases as active objects

ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 2001
In this paper, we propose an idea of viewing use cases as active objects in the analysis model. Based on the idea, we present a new approach to use case-driven object-oriented analysis. This approach gives a systematic and natural way of incorporating use cases into the analysis model, and an effective way of localizing the effect of requirement ...

Choriocarcinoma in Uganda –A Case for Active Prophylaxis

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1970
SummaryA review of 48 patients with choriocarcinoma was carried out. In this series, age and parity increased the risk of choriocarcinoma following on a hydatidiform mole. In view of the inadequate follow‐up of patients with molar pregnancies in this country, a policy of active prophylaxis – hysterectomy with chemotherapy – has been adopted in our ...

A Case for Applying Activity Theory in IS Research

Information Resources Management Journal, 2020
The use of Activity Theory (AT) to underpin Information Systems (IS) research continues to increase. However, many challenges are implicitly associated with the theory. Access to the qualitative data needed is a significant issue. Other challenges emanate from the lack of examples or know-how, which discourages postgraduate students from selecting the ...

An Active Approach to Automatic Case Generation

2009
When learning by observing an expert, cases can be automatically generated in an inexpensive manner. However, since this is a passive method of learning the observer has no control over which problems are solved and this can result in case bases that do not contain a representative distribution of the problem space. In order to overcome this we present

From Use Cases to Activity Cases

2004
Use cases can be used to capture requirements and to subdivide IT-systems into functionally coherent units. Information systems are activity systems that carry out important business activities. Many systems development methods recognize activity modeling as an important development activity.

Case studies on active database applications

1996
Active databases provide event-condition-action-rules for the implementation of (re)active behaviour in database applications. There exist a lot of proposals for such language extensions as well as some reported implementations. Usually, the suggested features are motivated by application requirements.

Active Learning in the Non-realizable Case

2006
Most of the existing active learning algorithms are based on the realizability assumption: The learner's hypothesis class is assumed to contain a target function that perfectly classifies all training and test examples. This assumption can hardly ever be justified in practice.
