Statistics characterize the phenomenon studied depending on their time, place and forms of economic-social organization of collectivities they belong to. In this paper, we assume to emphasize some peculiar aspects that a regional level analyses puts forward.

On the website of their recent book Pour une Revolution Fiscale, Landais, Piketty and Saez (2011) have provided the public with free access to all their quantitative data, inviting the readership to critically appraise and publicly discuss their work. Unfortunately, the book's graphical...

By manipulating the scale in graphs, this study demonstrated a new evaluation bias caused by attribute salience in graphical representations. That is, (de)compressing the graph axis scale changed the relative distance with respect to the options of a given attribute and thus changed the salience...

On the basis of three kinds of indices of physicochemical properties of twenty amino acids, a novel 3D graphical representation of protein sequences is presented. Then, the improved cumulative distance of the 3D graphical representations is defined in order to compare the proteins for...

Based on three physicochemical properties of amino acid side chains, we proposed a novel unique 3D graphical representation of protein sequences. Then, we constructed two vectors of three components as mathematical objects to characterize protein sequences numerically. The...

Stakeholder literature has acknowledged the need to complement the extant theory on stakeholder management by more dynamic perspectives. This article makes use of the recent terminology of stakewatcher and stakeseeker to illustrate the dynamic aspect of stakeholder theory transposed in the...

Based on a five-letter model of the 20 amino acids, we propose a new 3-D graphical representation of protein sequence. Then we derive from the graphical representation, numerical indices called 3-D coupling numbers, to characterize protein sequences. The examination of the...

In this case study we compare three process modelling techniques in order to find common concepts and to identify significant differences. We base this comparison around three general questions: - What are the objectives of the organisation? - Who is doing what with which resources? - How does...
