Discernment: Theology and the Practice of Ministry

This essay is the summary of a research project focused on how the minister-elder relationship in Churches of Christ can facilitate missional transformation in an established church.

Who’S Shaping Who’S Opinions? Estimating The Degree Of Influence Exerted By Each Contact In A Social Network, Luis Eduardo Castro Abril

Open Access Dissertations

It is important in domains such as organizational behavior, politics, marketing, sociology, psychology, engineering, and economics to study how people that belong to a network form their opinions on a specific topic, how these opinions evolve, and how a consensus is reached. Researchers have mainly focused on estimating hidden opinions, identifying opinion trends, opinion leaders, consensus points, and the impact of the structure of the network on consensus. This dissertation proposes a model that (a) enables the tracking of the opinions of every member of a network, and (b) helps identifying who is influencing who’s opinions and to what degree …

Physical Therapy And Cognitive Behavioral Therapy In A Patient With Multiple Co-Morbidities – A Case Report, Jeanine Manubay

Case Report Papers

Background and Purpose: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is grounded in the premise that by altering a patient’s negative thought processes, one can improve functional and emotional health. When multiple co-morbidities limit traditional physical therapy interventions, CBT may be a consideration. While CBT has shown benefits in patients with cancer and others, there is a lack of research investigating its effectiveness in conjunction with physical therapy (PT) in the medically complex patient. The purpose of this case report was to document the outcomes of CBT along with traditional PT for a medically complex patient diagnosed with end stage renal disease and …

Fraud Detections For Online Businesses: A Perspective From Blockchain Technology, Yuanfeng Cai, Dan Zhu

Publications and Research

Background: The reputation system has been designed as an effective mechanism to reduce risks associated with online shopping for customers. However, it is vulnerable to rating fraud. Some raters may inject unfairly high or low ratings to the system so as to promote their own products or demote their competitors.

Method: This study explores the rating fraud by differentiating the subjective fraud from objective fraud. Then it discusses the effectiveness of blockchain technology in objective fraud and its limitation in subjective fraud, especially the rating fraud. Lastly, it systematically analyzes the robustness of blockchain-based reputation systems in each type of …

Spatial Variations In Personal Insolvency Choices: The Role Of Stigma And Social Capital, Pr Bishop

Plymouth Business School

This article offers an explanation for the wide spatial variations in choice of insolvency route by personal debtors across local authorities in England and Wales. It is argued that formal bankruptcy has a more negative impact on social capital through stigma effects than the alternative of Individual Voluntary Arrangements. Consequently, spatial variations in choices are related to variations in social capital. The hypotheses derived from this approach are tested through the use of spatial econometric models utilising data from England and Wales. The results provide support for a positive link between variables related to social capital (age, mobility and home …
