TL;DR: In this paper, a new concept of government steering was developed at the Dutch ministry of education and sciences, called Steering at a distance, which is a departure from "classical" government steering by means of legislation, prohibitions and regulations and a move towards more autonomy and self-responsibility for institutions of higher education.

TL;DR: Results show that EQ and MQ are correlated with project success, but are differently moderated by complexity, which suggests using these three complexity types as a common language to research and learning across different project types.

TL;DR: The author’s partial and personal historical reconstruction of how decision theory is evolving to a decision aiding methodology is presented, showing mainly how “alternative” approaches to classic decision theory evolved.

TL;DR: In cognitive science, there has been a lot of buzz about a new trend in cognitive science which is associated with terms like "embodiment", "enactivism", "distributed cognition", and "the extended mind" as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the maximization of individual wealth is not an ordinary problem in variational calculus, because the individual does not control, and may even be ignorant of, some of the variables.

TL;DR: A theory of secrecy systems is developed on a theoretical level and is intended to complement the treatment found in standard works on cryptography.
