Experimental studies have shown a symmetry-to-asymmetry transition of the spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) curve exists in the proximal stratum radiatum (SR) dendrite of the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neuron, which is probably due to the presence of GABAergic inhibition [2, 3, 4]. A recent computational model predicted that symmetry-to-asymmetry transition is strongly dependent on the frequency and conductance value of GABA inhibition and that the largest long term potentiation (LTP) value and the two distinct long-term depression (LTD) tails of the symmetrical STDP curve are centred at +10 ms, +40 ms and -10 ms, respectively [8, 9]. In the present paper, we continue to investigate even further via computer simulations the effects of gamma frequency inhibition and its conductance...

Organizations seek new ways to stimulate collective competences. One possible way this can be done is though self-managing teams. This paper aims to understand the collective competences based on their constitutive elements: interaction, sensemaking and identity. For this study we investigated a Brazilian world-class petrochemical company, recognized by their excellence in working with self-managed teams. Two semi-autonomous teams were studied, distinct in its pattern and performance. The main results point out that the understanding of collective competences is more related to the dynamics and the interaction process itself rather than to the content of this approach and its constitutive elements separately.

The Zeitschrift fur Personalforschung (ZfP) - German Journal of Human Resource Research - is an academic journal which is concerned with state-of-the-art research in the area of strategic and operative human resource management (HRM) in organisations. The journal seeks to publish articles on the broad subject of HRM without limiting its profile to one particular definition of HRM, discipline or methodology. It seeks to attract contributions which can be in the form of review essays, conceptual papers with critical reflection, and empirical studies, which are particularly welcomed. Its focus on the academic debate sets the ZfP aside from other personnel journals which serve primarily as discussion forums for practitioners and to provide tool application recommendations.

While the literature on the determinants of organizational commitment (OC) and job involvement (JI) is vast, little has been studied about the impact of human needs. In search for the institutional stars, this study examines whether human needs can serve a predictor for both high OC and high JI. Exploratory empirical results based on quantile regressions suggest that the needs for achievement, belonging, and power are more important than others in predicting OC and JI. In addition, the basic needs profile does not seem different between the institutional star and the average employee, however, differences between the two groups arise from the differences in the intensity of needs. Preliminary evidence also shows that the profile tends to be slightly lower for female workers or senior wo...

An Electronic Performance Support System (EPSS) introduces challenges on contextualized and personalized information delivery. Recommender systems aim at delivering and suggesting relevant information according to users preferences, thus EPSSs could take advantage of the recommendation algorithms that have the effect of guiding users in a large space of possible options. The JUMP project1 aims at integrating an EPSS with a hybrid recommender system. Collaborative and content-based filtering are the recommendation techniques most widely adopted to date. The main contribution of this paper is a content-collaborative hybrid recommender which computes similarities between users relying on their content-based profiles in which user preferences are stored, instead of comparing their rating st...

This study examines the MNC top-management-team's (TMT) international attribute profile, its relationship with its individual team member international attributes and the joint effect these two levels of international attributes have on the individual's position in the TMT advice network on international business advice. In particular, this study examines how diversity in the international experience of each manager individually and in the context of the international experience of the entire team influences a manager's centrality in providing international business advice to the team. A hierarchical data structure design allows the examination of cross-level effects, given that a TMT member's network centrality may be a function of both individual level and group level influences.
