TL;DR: This paper analyzes constraints in depth of basic GIS terminology, methodology, case studies in aquaculture and future trends, and examines the direction in which the technology is moving, emerging trends with regard to analytical methods, and challenges that need to be addressed if GIS is to realize its full potential as a spatial decision support tool for Aquaculture.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the theoretical conditions under which such effects would occur and explored their likely significance using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Scottish economy and found that a general improvement in energy efficiency in the production sectors of the economy initially produces rebound effects that eventually grow into backfire.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework of reasons behind adoption and non-adoption in the SME sector is presented, together with recommendations for industry bodies involved in supporting SME sectors.
Abstract: Globalisation and technology effects appear to have spurred smaller firms around the world to embrace e‐business practices. However, there is considerable variability in adoption and usage from country to country. Drawing on existing research on e‐business and conventional business and marketing in the smaller firm, this paper formulates a conceptual framework of reasons behind adoption and non‐adoption in the smaller firm. Macro dimensions, industry sector and firm‐level factors are analysed, together with owner/manager motivations and attitudes towards e‐business adoption. A conceptual framework is constructed and research propositions are then developed in order to focus attention on sets of internal and external factors which impact on smaller firm e‐business usage. Recommendations for future theory development are presented, together with implications for industry bodies involved in supporting the SME sector.

TL;DR: This paper examines some of the observations that motivated the authors' interest in how registered nurses learn how to offer empathy to clients, and shows that, in the past, a low level of empathy has been reported among the helping professions, including nursing, indicating that many professional helpers are not as helpful as they ought to be.
Abstract: Empathy, the ability to perceive and reason, as well as the ability to communicate understanding of the other person's feelings and their attached meanings, is held to be a core characteristic of a helping relationship. This paper examines some of the observations that motivated the authors' interest in how registered nurses learn how to offer empathy to clients. First, while empathy is crucial to all helping relationships, professional helpers do not normally offer much empathy. Second, while nurses are meant to provide helping relationships, they do not tend to show much empathy to clients. The relevance of empathy to clinical nursing and the potential consequences of low-empathy nursing for clients is considered. It will be shown that, in the past, a low level of empathy has been reported among the helping professions, including nursing, indicating that many professional helpers are not as helpful as they ought to be. While most studies of empathy in professional relationships are more than a decade old, more recent studies report similar results.
