“…Each interview was audio recorded and then transcribed. At the end of the intervention, each company intervention was evaluated by a number of employees in a Chronicle Workshop (Rasmussen, 2011). In the Chronicle Workshop three rounds of questions were asked: 1) Which important changes have occurred during the last six months that have affected your work?, 2) which important changes in your work have you discovered in relation to the two interventions?, and 3) which factors have impacted the interventions?…”

Work-related stress in SMEs is an increasing problem. However, knowledge regarding stress management interventions in SMEs is limited. Often SMEs lack professional in-house facilitator resources to assist change processes. The aim of this paper is to describe the outcomes of four SMEs applying a participatory multi-level intervention model known as "PoWRS" and identify enablers and barriers related to the intervention. The companies' outcomes regard the specific intervention, influence on productivity and well-being, and unexpected outcomes. Main enabling factors included multi-level engagement in reflections, decision making and implementation of the changes through all phases, local untrained facilitators assisting the process, active line managers and senior management, continuous evaluations and adjustments and visualization of the progress.Some of the critical barriers were lack of process experience, imbalance between operations and development, and lack of management support. Implications of the findings for work-related stress preventions in SME using the model are discussed.3

“…In his search for methods Churchman uses the work of E.A.Singer (especially 'Experience and Reflection' [26] and 'Mind as Behavior' [25] to develop a methodology using induction, deduction, abduction and beyond in a process called the 'sweeping-in-process'. Churchman tells that there are four possible situations in this process, based on [6, p. 191]: 1. the object remains the same over the period of time in which the methods are used, as does the methods 2. the object fluctuates in while the methods does not 3. the object remains the same while the methods fluctuate 4. both fluctuate.…”

Abstract. This paper inquires into the possibility of the development of ICT at the Bottom of the Pyramid. Its focus is on philosophically founded methods and languages applicable on a universal and exemplary basis. The methods are taken to be based on abduction and sweeping-in-processes and the languages are taken to be based on categorical imperatives of Kant and the discourse ethics of Habermas/Apel. These 'taken to he's' are contrasted with Jacques Derrida's 'Deconstruction'. Paul Feyerabend's 'Against Method' as well as complexity theory. The explicated monological/dialogical and formal / procedural methods and languages together with its counterparts are used to start a sweeping-in-process on 'Social Informatics'.

“…An example and computer program are presented. indicated that the splits analysis approach maintained the .01 and .05 alpha levels, whereas the bootstrap procedure tended to be overly conservative (Rasmussen, 1990 Similar to bootstrapping and approximate randomization procedures the probability value associated with splits analysis is an approximation that depends upon the number of monte carlo simulations and the significance level (Rasmussen, 1988;Rasmussen, 1989 This formula can be used to evaluate the probability that a given approximate probability value is less than a desired probability value. For example the probability that the approximate probability value of 0.016 is less than a desired probability value of The program then carries out the appropriate split on the data and on the monte carlo simulations.…”
