Challenging the "bridge metaphor" theme of this conference, this article contends that current practice-research integration strategies are more like research-to-practice "pipelines." The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the potential of clinical data-mining studies conducted by practitioners, practitioner-oriented PhD…

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to provide a thorough analysis of the concepts of business intelligence (BI), knowledge management (KM) and analytical CRM (aCRM) and to establish a framework for integrating all the three to each other. The paper also seeks to establish a KM and aCRM based framework using data mining (DM) techniques, which…

Information and communications technologies today are used in virtually any university course when students prepare their papers. ICT is also needed after people are graduated from university and enter the job market. This author is an instructor in the field of informatics related to health care and social sciences at the Riga Stradins…

Presents an activity to integrate literature into the mathematics curriculum that is an interesting springboard to problem solving, an opportunity to research famous mathematicians, and a vehicle to enhance the understanding of mathematics concepts. (ASK)

Describes a field-tested interdisciplinary unit activity that involves collecting data on honeybees. Students gain hands-on experience with collecting, transforming, and analyzing data in this activity by using actual techniques employed by entomologists, the scientists who study insects. (ASK)

Presents an activity that incorporates elementary level science and mathematics in which students have many opportunities to use mathematics to communicate the local weather conditions. (ASK)

Describes a project implemented in a second-grade class that is based on a child-centered, problem-solving approach to connecting literature and writing with mathematics. Emphasizes data exploration by having students collect, record, interpret, and analyze data on eggs. Contains 11 references. (ASK)

Describes the concept of an integrated environment which allows managers to evaluate and measure the performance of computer based information systems. Both system efficiency evaluation and user interaction evaluation are addressed, and MADAM, a system currently operational at the University of Southwestern Louisiana, is briefly described.…

Students receiving mathematics instruction relevant to life will understand that mathematics is part of the real world and not just another school subject. Presents an activity that integrates rational numbers with health-related science content as students collect data and engage in decision making. (ASK)
