Temporary staffing services: a data mining perspective
Research on the temporary staffing industry discusses different topics ranging from workplace safety to the internationalization of temporary labor. However, there is a lack of data mining studies concerning this topic. This paper meets this void and uses a financial dataset as input for the estimated models. Bagged decision trees were utilized to cope with the high dimensionality. Two bagged decision trees were estimated: one using the whole dataset and one using the top 12 predictors. Both had the same predictive performance. This means we can highly reduce the computational complexity, without losing accuracy

What is post/colonial literature, and why are they saving such terrible things about it?
Why is it that, in a conspicuously neocolonial global environment, the terrn «postcolonialisrn)) has achieved such widespread acadernic currency? This paper analyzes the current vogue for postcolonial studies in western universities, presenting both a challenge to its commodified intellectual status and a defense of its capacity for cultural critique. «Postcolonialism,» the paper argues, does not imply that the colonial era is over; on the contrary, it confronts the «neocoloniality» of our present times
Low-dimensional hybrid perovskites containing an organic cation with an extended conjugated system : tuning the excitonic absorption features
Low-dimensional hybrid perovskites are receiving increased attention. One of the advantages of the low-dimensional hybrids over their 3D counterparts is their greater structural flexibility towards the incorporation of bigger, more complex, organic cations. In this communication, we introduce a pyrene derivative as an organic cation containing an extended pi-system for use in a variety of low-dimensional hybrids. We show that materials with different excitonic absorption features can be obtained by tuning the iodide/lead ratio in the precursor solutions, using the same pyrene cation. In this way, hybrids with optical characteristics corresponding to 2D, 1D and 0D hybrid perovskites are obtained. The formation and thermal stability of the different hybrids is analysed and compared
