🧠 You use the word "home" every day. Could you actually define it? Superordinate concepts like home, love, world, and person are fundamental to how we speak and think—yet they are remarkably difficult to define precisely. A new hypothesis paper in Journal of Integrative Neuroscience proposes that the brain builds these concepts by integrating three layers of information at once: objects perceived through the senses, events that unfold over time, and narratives learned through language and culture. Together they are expressed as a single verbal label, encoded across distributed large-scale neural networks spanning the prefrontal cortex, temporoparietal cortex, and amygdala. Study snapshot · Theoretical/hypothesis paper on superordinate concepts and their neural representation · 10 everyday concepts examined, including home, love, world, life, and person · Concept formation proposed to begin in infancy and continue maturing across adulthood Key findings: 🔹 Superordinate concepts are proposed to be "meta-analytic" labels that combine object-, event-, and narrative-based knowledge. 🔹 Their neural implementation is distributed across prefrontal, temporoparietal, and subcortical (amygdala) networks, with links to the default mode network. 🔹 Because they depend on cortico-cortical connectivity, they may be vulnerable in stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. ❓ Which everyday concept do you find hardest to define, and what does that difficulty reveal about how the brain organizes meaning? #Neuroscience #Cognition #Language #BrainHealth

🧠 HR analytics does not begin with an algorithm. It begins with whether an organization has the capacity to use data responsibly. A study of 50 non-listed firms in Kosovo examined what drives Big Data Analytics adoption in Human Resource Management across 2015-2022. The findings show that digital transformation is shaped as much by organizational readiness as by technology itself. Study snapshot · Panel-data analysis of 50 non-listed Kosovo firms over eight years · Firm size, technological readiness, and financial resources positively supported BDA adoption in HRM · Low employee skill levels and regulatory compliance burdens emerged as major barriers Key findings: 🔹 Technology without data-literate employees is unlikely to transform HR practice. 🔹 Financial capacity and technological readiness determine whether firms can move from interest to implementation. 🔹 Streamlined regulation, digital literacy, training, and change management can help resource-constrained firms adopt analytics more effectively. ❓ When organizations introduce HR analytics, what should come first: technology, workforce capability, governance, or trust? #HRAnalytics #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork #HumanResources

در مقاله جدید بیرگر یورلند ( Birger Hjørland) که چند روز قبل درنشریه  Knowledge_Organization# منتشر شده است وی به بررسی مفهوم تعامد (Orthogonality#) و تجزیه مفهومی ( Factorization#) در حوزه سازماندهی دانش و بازیابی اطلاعات میپردازد. نویسنده توضیح میدهد که تعامد به معنای استقلال کامل وجوه در طبقهبندی است، بهطوریکه این اجزا بدون همپوشانی با یکدیگر ترکیب شوند. این نوشتار با بهرهگیری از دیدگاههای فلسفی هگل درباره روابط درونی و بیرونی، به نقد رویکردهای تحلیلی میپردازد که مفاهیم را بیش از حد تجزیه میکنند. در واقع، استدلال میشود که تعامد همواره ممکن نیست، زیرا بسیاری از مفاهیم دارای پیوندهای درونی و تاریخی هستند که نمیتوان آنها را به اجزای مستقل تقسیم کرد. در نهایت، مقاله نتیجه میگیرد که موفقیت راهبردهای جستجوی بلوکی و طبقهبندیهای وجهی به ماهیت حوزه دانش بستگی دارد و گاهی استقلال وجوه به قیمت از دست رفتن معنای دقیق تمام میشود. https://lnkd.in/eHeyA-TC Knowledge Organization(KO) Birger Hjørland

🫀 Beyond the lumen: how optical coherence tomography is reshaping coronary imaging Coronary angiography remains fundamental in interventional cardiology, but it cannot fully reveal the underlying vessel wall pathology. An Editorial in Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine (RCM) discusses the evolution of intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its expanding role in coronary research and clinical practice. 🔍 Key insights: ✅ OCT provides high-resolution visualization of plaque morphology, thrombus, and vessel wall characteristics ✅ OCT helps identify mechanisms of ACS and optimize complex PCI strategies ✅ AI-assisted analysis may improve automation, consistency, and clinical decision support ✅ Future multimodal imaging approaches may integrate anatomical, biological, and physiological assessment 💡 The future of coronary intervention is moving from assessing the lumen to understanding vessel biology. 📄 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gkHGXCxU ✍️ Authors: Antonios Karanasos, PERIKLIS DAVLOUROS 🏛 Affiliation: University of Patras, Greece #Cardiology #InterventionalCardiology #OCT #PCI
