TL;DR: The differential patterns of activation observed in the aforementioned structures in response to aesthetic preference are specific examples of their roles in evaluating reward-based stimuli that vary in emotional valence.
Abstract: A study was conducted to determine the neuroanatomical correlates of aesthetic preference for paintings using fMRI. Subjects were shown representational and abstract paintings in different formats (original, altered, filtered), and instructed to rate them on aesthetic preference. Our primary results demonstrated that activation in right caudate nucleus decreased in response to decreasing preference, and that activation in bilateral occipital gyri, left cingulate sulcus, and bilateral fusiform gyri increased in response to increasing preference. We conclude that the differential patterns of activation observed in the aforementioned structures in response to aesthetic preference are specific examples of their roles in evaluating reward-based stimuli that vary in emotional valence.

TL;DR: An in-depth review of the key issues and trends in these areas, the challenges faced when reasoning and making decisions with real-time crowdsourced data, the core technologies and Open Geospatial Consortium standards involved (Sensor Web Enablement and Open GeoSMS), as well as a few outstanding project implementation examples from around the world.
Abstract: 'Wikification of GIS by the masses' is a phrase-term first coined by Kamel Boulos in 2005, two years earlier than Goodchild's term 'Volunteered Geographic Information'. Six years later (2005-2011), OpenStreetMap and Google Earth (GE) are now full-fledged, crowdsourced 'Wikipedias of the Earth' par excellence, with millions of users contributing their own layers to GE, attaching photos, videos, notes and even 3-D (three dimensional) models to locations in GE. From using Twitter in participatory sensing and bicycle-mounted sensors in pervasive environmental sensing, to creating a 100,000-sensor geo-mashup using Semantic Web technology, to the 3-D visualisation of indoor and outdoor surveillance data in real-time and the development of next-generation, collaborative natural user interfaces that will power the spatially-enabled public health and emergency situation rooms of the future, where sensor data and citizen reports can be triaged and acted upon in real-time by distributed teams of professionals, this paper offers a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of the overlapping domains of the Sensor Web, citizen sensing and 'human-in-the-loop sensing' in the era of the Mobile and Social Web, and the roles these domains can play in environmental and public health surveillance and crisis/disaster informatics. We provide an in-depth review of the key issues and trends in these areas, the challenges faced when reasoning and making decisions with real-time crowdsourced data (such as issues of information overload, "noise", misinformation, bias and trust), the core technologies and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards involved (Sensor Web Enablement and Open GeoSMS), as well as a few outstanding project implementation examples from around the world.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the relationship between the adoption of proactive environmental strategies and an organization's business performance and found that facilities whose environmental strategies are driven mainly by institutional pressures may improve their environmental performance.
Abstract: While the adoption of proactive environmental strategies has increased worldwide, there has been little research evaluating why facilities adopt these strategies across different countries. Moreover, the link between the adoption of a proactive environmental strategy and an organization's business performance has yet to be demonstrated. This study draws on institutional theory and the resource-based view of the firm to determine when an organization's environmental strategy may lead to improved environmental and business performance. We analyze these relationships using survey data from manufacturing facilities operating in Canada, Germany, Hungary, and the United States and structural equation modelling techniques. Our results support the notion that facilities whose environmental strategies are driven mainly by institutional pressures may improve their environmental performance. On the other hand, facilities that are driven primarily by their resources and capabilities observe both positive environmental and business performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual framework about the internal processes involved in creating customer knowledge competence, which allow firms to strategically manage their CRM programs, is proposed based on five case studies of Canadian financial services firms that have implemented customer relationship programs.

TL;DR: The present study used magneto-encephalography (MEG) to determine the neural correlates of the bilingual advantage previously reported for behavioral measures in conflict tasks, and found that the management of two language systems led to systematic changes in frontal executive functions.
