Radio Frequency Identification technologies (RFId) have the potential to reshape entire supply chains by univocally track down goods at item or part level and dramatically improve the efficiency of business process. Despite the hype and the momentum RFId application are gaining, researches in the IS field are still lacking. In particular, the inter...

... order to avoid additional costs the contractor is directly supplied by the tag manufacturer with chip integrated in the labels describing the materials used. Tags are sent in the exact quantity required by the order placed to the contractor by G, and their unique codes are stored in the RFId layer (see Figure 1). Eventually, excess tags have to be sent back to G and re-allocated to new orders. ...

Many experiments have demonstrated recovery of extinguished responding following a context change and some experiments have shown that extinction in multiple contexts can reduce this response recovery. We report two additional experiments which both showed reduced response recovery following extinction in the presence of multiple partner cues. Thes...
We explored exposure to and experiences of violence and their risk factors amongst ethnically diverse adolescents from lower socio economic groups in Johannesburg.
This cross-sectional study recruited a stratified sample of 16-18 year old adolescents from four low socio-economic suburbs in Johannesburg to reflect ethnic group clustering. We collect...
Most existent research on the effects of interpersonal discussions about health campaign messages is based on surveys. In this study, we analysed actual conversations about an HIV/AIDS poster to find out possible effects. Young South African women in 59 dyads (n = 118) participated in conversations about a deliberately puzzling HIV and AIDS poster...
Background:
Incidence rates in the FEM-PrEP and VOICE trials demonstrate that women from diverse sub-Saharan African communities continue to be at substantial HIV risk.
Objective:
To describe and compare the sexual risk context of the study population from two FEM-PrEP trial sites-Bondo, Kenya, and Pretoria, South Africa.
Methods:
At baseline...
Automated workflows must comply with domain-specific regulations, standards and rules. So far, compliance issues have been mainly addressed in the context of intra-organizational workflows. In turn, there exists only little work dealing with compliance of distributed and collaborative workflows. As opposed to intra-organizational workflows, for dis...

... Concerning the textile industry, Ref. [43] presents a practical application of the RFId technology to the fashion sector of an Italian firm: it is argued that the implementation of this technology as to the two most imitated lines of production has enabled to limit the counterfeiting phenomenon and to improve logistics. ...
... Other industries are mirroring these experiences for competitive reasons. Traceability can be adopted to control counterfeiting, to document the origin of a product, to leverage cultural assets (for example "made in" or fair trade products), to promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and in general to increase the transparency and the perceived quality of marketed products (eg., who, where, when and how a product was manufactured) (Pigni, Ravarini, Astuti, Buonanno, & Mari, 2006). The strong competition from emerging economies that Italian's textile and clothing industry has been facing in recent years has promoted traceability initiatives as possible sources of competitive advantage. ...
... This paper largely adopts the DIM to investigate the adoption RFId technology for the traceability, however the exploratory nature of the research and the low rate of present adoption of RFId systems in the textile sector, left us only few cases directly analyzed or documented in literature ( Pigni et al., 2006) (Loebbecke, Palmer, & Huyskens, 2006;Politecnico, 2007) to perform a reliable assessment of the adoption factors. Consequently, the first-order model would become functional for the description of the main factors and characteristics to define an "as is" scenario. ...
