This is the first time a major AIS conference is being hosted in South America, and we expect the rigorous program, your engagement, and the historic and beautiful city of Lima will collectively make this an unforgettable experience – bienvenidos!! Cynthia Beath The conference theme, “Sustainable IT Collaboration Around the Globe,” U. Texas at Austin Honorary reflects the pressing issue of the times – a need to build and leverage Conference Chair international partnerships. The 43 countries represented by the attendees provides all of us ample opportunity to initiate and cultivate our global networks. The conference theme will be highlighted by our keynote speaker, Bruno Di Leo in his talk, “Welcome to the Decade of Smart” about digital awareness around the world. It will be further elaborated on in the AIS/LEO session by Jerry Luftman Izak Benbasat and Lynne Markus, as they explore the role and importance of Stevens Institute of Technology global collaboration, and at the CIO symposium in the dialogue between leading Conference Chair academics and practitioners. We hope to see you at these featured sessions or at one of the engaging paper, poster, panel, or workshop presentations. There are two special social events for you to meet and greet old and new friends. The opening reception on Thursday evening at the Swissotel will help you get ready for the conference, while the social event on Saturday will feature Martin Santana Universidad ESAN music, dancing, and a cultural show to help you unwind and get into the Latin Conference Chair festive spirit as you sample the famous Peruvian cuisine and Pisco Sour! We also encourage you to explore this beautiful city with fellow AMCIS attendees. Just to suggest a few options–you can walk through the historic centre of Lima, visit the gold museum (Museo de Oro) or enjoy a relaxing evening at Huaca Pullana, a pre-Inca ceremonial site dedicated to the God Pachacamac– the possibilities are endless! Ajay Vinzé Arizona State University Conference Chair Reflecting back on our preparations for AMCIS 2010, it is impossible to adequately thank all the people who have contributed their time and effort to make this conference a successful event. As a group, we would like to thank our sponsors for their generous financial support. Special thanks also goes to Ana Maria Villanueva and Marisol Bolanos and the Universidad ESAN team for providing their tireless local support. The AIS support staff has once again helped to ensure that the technical, logistical, and procedural details were well managed - a special shout out to Lise Fitzpatrick, the keeper of the flame. We are indebted to Joyce Elam and Dorothy Leidner, our program chairs, who have organized an outstanding research lineup – many, many thanks! And finally, we thank our countless colleagues who proposed tracks and minitracks, submitted and reviewed papers, panels, workshops and tutorials, and who will serve as session chairs, discussants, panelists, and presenters at this conference. Most of all, we are grateful to every one of you for joining us in Lima. Have a wonderful conference, enjoy yourselves and welcome!!! Americas Conference on Information Systems • Lima, Peru Americas Conference on Information Systems • Lima, th 16 5 Welcome from the Program Chairs Over the years, AMCIS has been evolving into a major international conference, even as it retains its regional feel. Over half of all authors of papers to be presented in Lima this summer are from outside the Americas region. In total, 43 different nationalities are represented in the presentations. Roughly 48% of the authors of accepted papers come from the Americas region; 12% from the Australasia region and 40% from the European region. We thank all of you for traveling (in many cases quite long distances with indirect, multiple-stop routes) to attend AMCIS2010! From the Americas region, the papers hail from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, and the United States. The largest percentage of these come from the US (80%), followed by Brazil (7%) and Canada (6%). From the Australasia Region, there are papers from Australia, China, Fiji, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Korea, New Zealand, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates. Among these, the majority are from Australia (36%) followed by Hong Kong (16%). And from the European

The aim was to examine associations between five sleep-related cognitive processes and the incidence of insomnia, and to investigate if baseline anxiety and depression influence the associations. Methods: Two thousand three hundred and thirty-three participants completed surveys Edited by: Bjørn Bjorvatn, on nighttime and daytime symptoms, depression, anxiety, and cognitive processes at University of Bergen, Norway baseline and 6 months after the first assessment. Only those without insomnia at baseline Reviewed by: were studied. Participants were categorized as having or not having incident insomnia at Børge Sivertsen, the next time point. Baseline anxiety and depression were tested as moderators. Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH), Norway Results: Three cognitive processes predicted incident insomnia later on. Specifically, Enrico Giora, Vita-Salute San Raffaele more safety behaviors and somatic arousal at Time 1 increased the risk of developing University, Italy insomnia.

  • BERGEN SUMMER RESEARCH SCHOOL #Bsrs2016
    PROGRAMME BERGEN SUMMER RESEARCH SCHOOL WATER, CLIMATE & SOCIETY UNIVERSITY OF BERGEN JUNE 13 - 24, 2016 #bsrs2016 WATER, CLIMATE & SOCIETY Welcome to Bergen Summer Research School 2016 For nine years, the University of Bergen and the other academic institutions in Bergen have invited to a summer research school exploring “Global Development Challenges”. This spring, the World Economic Forum ranked for the first time the water crisis as the greatest global risk to economies, environments and societies in the forthcoming decade. Last year, NATO held their largest military exercise since the Cold War simulating war over water. The UN’s General Secretary and the World Bank have argued that management of water is crucial to future developments. This year, the Summer Research School will approach global challenges related to “Water, Climate & Society” from many disciplines through plenary sessions, keynote lectures, and in particular through the seven parallel courses: • Climate change and water • Modelling the complexities of water, climate and society • Poverty, climate change and water in the context of SDGs • River basins, power and law • The ocean, climate and society • Religion and water • Water and global health BSRS seeks to create a unique environment for participants to present, engage, discuss, progress their thinking, and improve on their work. As part of the taught courses, there will be an excursion into the waterscape of western Norway to explore the impact rivers, fjords and glaciers have had on societies. We are happy to welcome you to the city of Bergen and to the large academic milieu of high quality research. We hope you will gain knowledge, new perspectives, as well as new acquaintances that will benefit your academic work.

Over the past 40 years, Karlstad´s share is unchanged. The increase in figures depends to more than 50% of influx from the other 15 municipalities in Värmland. Almost 50% are retired. When it comes to regional GDP, Värmland was number 13 of 24 counties in 1860. Today, the position is 22. Nor- dregio's Regional Potential Index expresses the economic prospects of regions. Värmland is ranked 58 of 74 Nordic regions. In Sweden, only Gävleborg region has a lower position. In global terms, regarding the effects of the digital revolution on future employment, we can expect a decline in man- ufacturing, retail trade and transport on roads. At the same time, we see a very strong increase of the employment in the information technology sector and other high-tech industries.
