Abstract:
The goal of this paper is to recommend suitable competence assessment instruments and methods for assessing globalization competence in the Information Systems domain. This is done by matching globalization competences with suitable competence assessment methods. The results of the analysis indicate that the most applicable competence assessment methods for assessing globalization competences in the Information Systems domain are written format assessments (especially essays), candidate self-reports, live interactions (especially group work), and computer simulations. The validity of the outcome is confirmed through a mixed method of document analysis and expert interviews by analyzing and evaluating the assessment methods of Finnish higher education courses in the Information Systems field. Finally, a preliminary comparison between Finnish and Japanese assessment methods is conducted.

Abstract:
he adoption of any managerial decision within the company happens in the presence of risks. Against this background, it is vital to determine whether the risk is acceptable for achieving the objectives. In the article the essence of risk appetite, risk tolerance and risk capacity is considered. Differences between risk capacity, risk appetite and risk tolerance are defined. Risk appetite reflects the level of losses that the company is willing to accept in order to achieve its strategic objectives. In contrast, risk tolerance is related to the acceptance of the outcomes of specific identified risk events and is defined as readiness for certain risk event. Risk capacity is the maximum level of risk that an organization is able to accept for achieving its business goals, taking into account the current level of resources, its capital structure and access to markets. An important part of identifying the risk appetite for the company is a description of advantages and disadvantages of existing methods of its assessment. Quantitative and qualitative approaches to determining risk appetite are considered. In the first case, the absolute value of possible risk or its relative value is established. In this case, the risk appetite is determined depending on organizational objectives. These objectives may determine the achievement of the planned financial indicators, compliance with financial regulations and other indicators of the company. Qualitative assessment of risk appetite is used when the risk cannot be quantified. In this case, the risk appetite is presented in a descriptive way. It is important to define the risk appetite including all aspects of the enterprise activity in the context of certain strategic goals of its development. Breaching the risk tolerance threshold should serve as a red alert for management. In such a case, it is important to reduce the risk position.

Abstract:
Learning outcome assessment is a fairly recent trend in higher education that began in the 1980s (Lubinescu et al., 2001). Today, many faculty perceive assessment reporting to be tedious, time-consuming, and irrelevant busywork (Wang & Hurley, 2012). Unfortunately, this systematic process created to use empirical evidence to measure, document, and improve student learning has in many cases lost sight of this central goal. As a result, faculty may be justified in their opinions about it. This essay proposes a framework for addressing this thorny issue via WISER. WISER is an acronym for five content pillars of the communication discipline faculty can use to ensure their assessment efforts achieve the goal of not only documenting but also improving student learning. WISER stands for writing, immersive experiences, speaking, ethical communication, and research as programmatic assessment categories. These WISER categories extend the National Communication Association (NCA)-endorsed domains of communication learning in ways that make them functional for assessment.

Abstract:
Marine policy is increasingly calling for maintaining or restoring healthy oceans while human activities continue to intensify. Thus, successful prioritization and management of competing objectives requires a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the ocean. Unfortunately, assessment frameworks to define and quantify current ocean state are often site-specific, limited to a few ocean components, and difficult to reproduce in different geographies or even through time, limiting spatial or temporal comparisons as well as the potential for shared learning. Ideally, frameworks should be tailorable to accommodate use in disparate locations and contexts, removing the need to develop frameworksde novoand allowing efforts to focus on the assessments themselves to advise action. Here, we present some of our experiences using the Ocean Health Index (OHI) framework, a tailorable and repeatable approach that measures health of coupled human-ocean ecosystems in different contexts by accommodating differences in local environmental characteristics, cultural priorities, and information availability and quality. Since its development in 2012, eleven assessments using the OHI framework have been completed at global, national, and regional scales, four of which have been led by independent academic or government groups. We have found the following to be best practices for conducting assessments: Incorporate key characteristics and priorities into the assessment framework design before gathering information; Strategically define spatial boundaries to balance information availability and decision-making scales; Maintain the key characteristics and priorities of the assessment framework regardless of information limitations; and Document and share the assessment process, methods, and tools. These best practices are relevant to most ecosystem assessment processes, but also provide tangible guidance for assessments using the OHI framework. These recommendations also promotetransparencyaround which decisions were made and why,reproducibilitythrough access to detailed methods and computational code,repeatabilityvia the ability to modify methods and computational code, andease of communicationto wide audiences, all of which are critical for any robust assessment process.

Abstract:
Objectives:Value assessments of marketed drug technologies have been developed through disinvestment frameworks. Components of these frameworks are varied and implementation challenges are prevalent. The objective of this systematic literature review was to describe disinvestment framework process components for drugs and to report on framework components, challenges, and solutions.Methods:A systematic literature search was conducted using the terms: reassessment, reallocation, reinvestment, disinvestment, delist, decommission or obsolescence in MEDLINE, EMBASE, NLM PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and CINAHL from January 1, 2000, until November 14, 2015. Additional citations were identified through a gray literature search of Health Technology Assessment international (HTAi) and the International Network of Agencies for Health Technology Assessment (INAHTA) member Web sites and from bibliographies of full-text reviewed manuscripts.Results:Sixty-three articles underwent full text review and forty were included in the qualitative analysis. Framework components including disinvestment terms and definitions, identification and prioritization criteria and methods, assessment processes, stakeholders and dissemination strategies, challenges, and solutions were compiled. This review finds that stakeholders lack the political, administrative, and clinical will to support disinvestment and that there is not one disinvestment framework that is considered best practice.Conclusions:Drug technology disinvestment components and processes vary and challenges are numerous. Future research should focus on lessening value assessment challenges. This could include adopting more neutral framework terminology, setting fixed reassessment timelines, conducting therapeutic reviews, and modifying current qualitative decision-making assessment frameworks.

Abstract:
Learning assessments are important to monitor the progress of students throughout the teaching process. In the digital era, many local and large-scale learning assessments are conducted through technological tools. In this view, a large-scale learning assessment can be designed to tackle one or multiple parts of the teaching process. Oral reading fluency assessments evaluate the ability to read reference texts. However, even though the use of applications to collect the reading of the students avoids logistics costs and speeds up the process, the evaluation of recordings has become a challenging task. Therefore, this work presents a computational solution for large-scale precision-critical fluency assessment. The goal is to build an approach based on automatic speech recognition (ASR) for the automatic evaluation of the oral reading fluency of children and reduce hiring costs as much as possible.

Abstract:
Interagency information sharing is widely acknowledged for increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of several domains with high societal impact such as security, cybersecurity and health. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the development of interoperability among public services is a political priority in many countries around the world, and that, presently, several initiatives are ongoing with this purpose. The proper management of such initiatives demands adequate instruments to support the definition of the existing (as-is) and desired (to-be) situations, as well as the identification, prioritization, monitoring and control of the actions that are necessary to achieve the objectives defined for developing interoperability. Moreover, appropriate instruments are also required to support the justification and comparison of initiatives, for example in situations where they compete for funds. However, the existing practical solutions are scarce and do not fit well these requirements. Therefore, this research proposes a framework (iShare) for assessing the semantic interoperability - one of the facets of interoperability - of governmental agencies that use a common information model for exchanging information with each other. This assessment is made in two parts. The first part assesses how organizations are performing, in terms of semantic interoperability, and the second part assesses the relevance of that performance, considering a series of pre-defined factors. To develop the iShare framework we followed the Design Science Research Method. The framework itself is based on Process Performance Indicators, on the Delphi Method and on the Weighted Sums Model. Its validation was performed during the development of the Portuguese maritime surveillance information exchange system (NIPIMAR), which is based on the information model of the European Maritime Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE). The result of the validation was the assessment of the semantic interoperability of six public organizations participating in the project. In addition, some of the main ideas of the framework were immediately used within the project to assess the semantic interoperability of all organizations that were participating in it and to develop an action plan to improve their interoperability and information exchange. The iShare framework has thus proven to be an innovative, useful, relevant and more objective way of assessing semantic interoperability among various organizations, which tells us how much and how relevant that interoperability is. Hence, the iShare framework contributes to the body of knowledge in the field and opens new possibilities for assessing interoperability and information exchange, and thus to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of governmental agencies.
Es un hecho reconocido que el intercambio de información entre organismos y agencias mejora la eficiencia y efectividad en dominios con alto impacto en la sociedad, tales como seguridad, ciberseguridad y salud pública. Por tanto, no es una sorpresa que el desarrollo de la interoperabilidad entre organismos públicos sea una prioridad política en muchos países y que, en la actualidad, se esté trabajando en diversas iniciativas con esta finalidad. La correcta gestión de tales iniciativas requiere instrumentos adecuados, que puedan soportar la definición de la situación existente y la deseada, así como la identificación, priorización, monitorización y control de las acciones que son necesarias para conseguir los objetivos definidos para alcanzar la interoperabilidad. Asimismo, son necesarios instrumentos que permitan justificar y comparar diferentes iniciativas, por ejemplo, en situaciones en las que compitan por financiación. Sin embargo, actualmente las soluciones que ofrecen instrumentos reutilizables para estos propósitos son escasas, y aquellas que existen no cubren bien todos los requisitos. En este contexto, esta tesis doctoral propone un nuevo marco teórico llamado iShare para evaluar la interoperabilidad semántica, uno de los aspectos de la interoperabilidad, de organismos gubernamentales y/o agencias que utilicen un modelo de información común para el intercambio de datos entre ellos. Con iShare, esta evaluación se realiza en dos etapas. En la primera, se evalúa el rendimiento de las organizaciones en términos de interoperabilidad semántica, mientras que en la segunda etapa se evalúa la relevancia de ese rendimiento medido, considerando una serie de factores predeterminados. Para el desarrollo del marco teórico iShare, se utilizó la metodología de investigación Design Science, basada en los indicadores de rendimiento de proceso, en el método Delphi y el modelo Weighted Sums Model. Para su validación, se aplicó el mismo al desarrollo del sistema de vigilancia marítima NIPIMAR en Portugal, el cual está orientado al intercambio de datos y utiliza el modelo de información del programa europeo Maritime CISE (Common Information Sharing Environment for Maritime Surveillance, entorno común de intercambio de datos para vigilancia marítima). El proceso de validación permitió evaluar la interoperabilidad semántica de seis organismos públicos que participaban en el proyecto. Asimismo, algunas de las ideas del marco teórico fueron directamente incorporadas al proyecto para evaluar la interoperabilidad semántica de todos los organismos públicos portugueses y para desarrollar un plan de acción que mejore su interoperabilidad y el intercambio de información entre ellas. Los resultados de esta investigación demuestran que el marco teórico iShare ofrece una solución innovadora, útil, relevante y más objetiva para la evaluación de la interoperabilidad semántica entre varias organizaciones. Por todo ello, el marco teórico iShare contribuye al cuerpo de conocimiento en este campo científico y abre nuevas posibilidades para evaluar la interoperabilidad y así aumentar la eficiencia y la eficacia de las agencias gubernamentales.

Supply chain resiliency is a relatively new field within supply chain management. Many quantitative and qualitative resiliency frameworks are available. However, there is a need for a hybrid framework that provides a more comprehensive resiliency assessment. In this thesis, we attempt to synthesize important features from different assessment frameworks and develop a hybrid resiliency assessment framework that more comprehensively addresses resiliency assessment. Our proposed framework combines quantitative assessment with a qualitative assessment to create a single Balanced Scorecard of Resiliency (BSR). We deployed the quantitative assessment of the BSR framework in a single commodity supply chain of ABC Company, and were able to compute the expected business impact risk of each node. We also aggregated across multiple nodes to assess the expected business impacts of each of the facilities, suppliers and locations of ABC Company's supply chain, and identify the critical entities in the supply chain for mitigation planning. For the critical facilities, suppliers, and locations, we developed response curves of the expected business impact for key parameters to identify the best mitigation options and the extent of investments. Lastly, we used a supply chain visualization tool called Sourcemap to visualize the expected business impact risk in both a map view and supply network view. Our quantitative assessment of resiliency allowed us to gain insights and generate recommendations for improving ABC Company's supply chain resiliency.

Abstract:
Human beings are facing the unprecedented challenges of energy sustainability. A major part of the challenge is due to increasingly demands of an improved built environment arising from both the construction industry and building users. An increasing number of countries and organizations have a strong desire to find solutions for the construction industry to mitigate the negative impact on the built environment and to provide a higher quality of workplace. Many construction concepts have emerged, e.g. Intelligent Buildings (IBs), Green Buildings (GBs), Bio-Hornes, which intend to offer human beings enlightening methods and a passport to getting through the new construction generation in new buildings and refurbishments. All of these construction concepts focusing on improved energy efficiency for buildings, whilst improving the built environment's effect on well-being, are commonly recognized across the world as 'sustainable development' or 'sustainability'. To measure the degree of the 'performance' of buildings, various building assessment methods have been developed as the building environmental performance assessment methods. Building environmental performance assessment methods can provide good ways to reach the improvements in the building energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, to benefit the building users' productivities, as well as the business performance of the organizations. Building performance has to be measured and compared against best performing practices in the construction industry. However, most current building performance assessment methods are pre-defined environmental standards with the perspective of limited stakeholders. It is doubtful that the existing building assessment methods can have a comprehensive and objective set of Performance Indicators (PIs), to present the changing built environment and changing building stakeholders' expectations and requirements. This leads to failing to address identification and integration of multiple perspectives. Therefore the performance assessment method increasingly requires a comprehensive and objective approach, which is geared to both the stakeholders' requirements and sustainable development. In the construction industry, the understanding and selection of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in building environmental performance assessment has a significant III impact on the assessment result and improvement practices. There are many environmental assessment methods currently being used globally, most of them address certain pre-defined environmental standards and requirements, which have inevitably been developed with some constraints and limitations. However, many questions are raised on how these performance indicators were selected and how these indicators were used to measure the rate of building performance improvement. The KPIs to be used in existing building performance assessment are usually decided upon by senior managers and building experts (designers, developers, contractors, etc.), and this leads to a subjective assessment result. Thus KPIs should be determined for each building process area and given weightings by expert groups to display their importance and relevance within construction organisations. A semiotics-based framework for assessing building performance is established in this research, which aims to provide an innovative approach for generating construction project KPIs from listed PIs, that deal with an increasing number of requirements from the construction industry and building users. This research will use the semiotics six layers framework and lead to the use of affordances as a method of generating KPls according to the built environment and stakeholders' requirements. It will define the PIs from building's affordances in the six semiotic layers, then range from physical properties and functions to social value. The proposed framework takes a more scientific and systematic approach to the building performance assessment. This research is an attempt that has been made to the semiotics theory for generating KPls in building environment performance assessment methods. Further practical implementations will be suggested by describing each PI using affordances as the application of the method of semiotics. IV.

Atualmente, o mercado de trabalho é caracterizado por globalização, forte competição, rápidas mudanças, crescente fluxo e obsolescência de informações e exigentes padrões de qualidade e de produtividade. Para acompanhar estas transformações, portanto, a escola também precisa evoluir do modelo clássico para a Aprendizagem Colaborativa, a fim de formar indivíduos capazes de se comunicar, trabalhar em grupo na resolução de problemas complexos e interdisciplinares, coordenar o trabalho individual e do grupo, e tomar as melhores decisões. Esta pesquisa investiga especificamente a avaliação colaborativa em grupos de trabalho e de aprendizagem, e propõe o IssueNet, um Framework de colaboração para acompanhamento e avaliação colaborativa de tarefas. Para validar a contribuição do Framework na avaliação colaborativa, e investigar que outras influências a sua utilização exerce em grupos de trabalho ou de aprendizagem, foram realizados dois estudos de caso com duas instâncias distintas do IssueNet. Após a análise dos estudos de caso e dos depoimentos dos participantes, concluiu-se que o Framework atendeu às expectativas de possibilitar a avaliação colaborativa em grupos de trabalho ou aprendizagem.
Currently, the business market is characterized by globalization, strong competition, fast changes, increasing flow and obsolescence of information and demanding quality standards and productivity.

This research specifically investigates the collaborative evaluation in learning and working groups, and proposes IssueNet, a collaboration Framework for the management and collaborative evaluation of tasks. To validate the contributions brought about by the Framework, and to investigate what other influences it may have on learning or working groups, two case-studies using two distinct IssueNet instances have been carried through. After the analysis of the casestudies and of the based on the comments of the participants, we have concluded that the Framework satisfies our expectations by making it possible the collaborative evaluation in learning or working groups.

Abstract:
This document is a supplement to the article entitled “The Multidimensional Quality Metric (MQM) Framework: A New Framework for Translation Quality Assessment”, which has been acepted for publication in the upcoming January volume of JoSTrans, the Journal of Specialized Translation. The article is a coauthored project between Dr. Alan K. Melby, Dr. Troy Cox and myself. In this document you will find a preface describing the process of writing the article, an annotated bibliography of sources consulted in my research, a summary of what I learned, and a conclusion that considers the future avenues opened up by this research. Our article examines a new method for assessing the quality of a translation known as the Multidimensional Quality Metric, MQM. In our experiment we set the MQM framework to mirror, as closely as possible, the American Translators Association's (ATA) translator certification exam. To do this we mapped the ATA error categories to corresponding MQM error categories. We acquired a set of 29 student translations and had a group of student raters use the MQM framework to rate these translations. We measured the practicality of the MQM framework by comparing the time required for ratings to the average time required to rate translations in the industry. In addition, we had 2 ATA certified translators rate the anchor translation (a translation that was scored by every rater in order to have a point of comparison). The certified translators' ratings were used to verify that the scores given by the student raters were valid. Reliability was also measured, which found that the student raters were not interchangeable, but that the measurement estimate of reliability was adequate. The article's goal was to determine the extent to which the Multidimensional Quality Metric framework for translation evaluation is viable (practical, reliable and valid) when designed to mirror the ATA certification exam. Overall, the results of the experiment showed that MQM could be a viable way to rate translation quality when operationalized based on the ATA's translator certification exam. This is an important discovery in the field of translation quality, because it shows that MQM could be a viable tool for future researchers. Our experiment suggests that researchers ought to take advantage of the MQM framework because, not only is it free, but any studies completed using the MQM framework would have a common base, making these studies more easily comparable.

Abstract:

Today's way of life includes increasing amounts of information, and therefore handling and processing of information. Almost everything you do involves some sort of a computer somewhere, and many businesses have implemented comprehensive computer systems into their corporative structure, to serve both employees and customers. But if a new service is introduced to the users, or a new group of users are introduced to an existing service, how do you know if the performance will be satisfying? To deal with such questions, a method called The Scalability Assessment Method (SAM) has been developed. The Scalability Assessment Method is a general procedure for evaluating the scalability of a system architecture. Other projects have applied SAM to real reference systems, and their results have shown that SAM is a method that can be trusted to give credible predictions. Until recently, dedicated software tools that support the SAM method have been absent, and the researchers have been using i.a. spreadsheets in an ad hoc approach to the problems. Therefore, a SAM software package is in development. The SAM Engine (SAMe) is a Java program developed in this project, with an intuitive user interface that is enabling a non-expert user to apply the method on a desired architecture. This report documents the development of the prototype SAM Engine (SAMe), and how the program supports the SAM method.

Abstract:
A number of risks have been proposed in the literature to be associated with hyperfunctional voice disorder (HVD), one of the most common communication disorders. Yet, it is not distributed randomly in the population, certain population groups are at higher risks of developing voice disorders. It is generally agreed that the development of voice disorders involves a multifactorial genesis. The study of risks has been documented in different diseases and also in the World Health Report (W.H.O., 2002). The probabilistic approach has been recommended to effectively manage the likelihood of health outcome in relations to disease development (Tonetti, 1988) and systematically devise prevention and intervention programs targeting population at risk. Yet, in the study of the development of HVD, the lack of a universally agreed theoretical framework prohibited the establishment of such structure and research on advancement on preventive programs. The present thesis aimed to investigate the adoption of the FMAT risk assessment framework based on the probabilistic approach (WHO) to the field of hyperfunctional voice disorders. A Voice Risk Calculator (VRC) Questionnaire was developed focusing on the vocal loading, physiological/medical and psycho-emotional indicators and all subjects completed this questionnaire. The VRC Questionnaire was then validated based on the FMAT framework using a cross-sectional study was used to identify risk indicators associated with HVD development in the local population and a longitudinal study was employed to validate these risk indicators as risk factors. A total of 192 Cantonese-speaking subjects participated in the cross-sectional study including 123 dysphonic subjects and 69 non-dysphonic control subjects and 7 in the longitudinal study. Instrumental measurements including the voice range profile, aerodynamic measurements and the Voice Activity and Participation Profile (VAPP, Ma & Yiu, 2001) were also used as part of the validation procedure. The findings showed that significant differences were found between the dysphonic and non-dysphonic group in the cross-sectional study based on results from the instrumental measurements protocol. A minimal set of selected VRC questionnaire items were also determined (Items 1, 3, 25 and somatization scale) to differences between the subject groups in this study. Thus a set of locally-applicable risk indicators have been suggested. Yet, only minimal changes have been detected in a high-risk group targeted in the longitudinal study. Research (Beck, 1994) indicated that disease progression takes over a time frame of at least more than two years. Thus the small subject size and temporal element of the longitudinal study in the present thesis limited research aim to be achieved. Nonetheless that first phase of the FMAT framework for hyperfunctional voice disorders have been established in the current study and a finalized version of the Voice Risk Calculated Questionnaire has been developed for future research.

Abstract:
The skills demonstrated by a proficient reader are not easy to untangle. Current research acknowledges that reading comprehension is a highly complex area of ability, one that needs to be understood as the coordination of several integrated processes. Using example test questions and data, this presentation explores how assessment can help us make sense of reading comprehension in a way that curricula and commonly used teaching strategies cannot. Assessment is evidence that informs us about the skills involved in the reading process, how they relate to each other, and how they develop in complexity. When assessment is understood in this way, as much more than a tool to compare a student’s ability with that of their peers, it can be used to identify the actual skills individual students are consolidating and which specific steps will help their development.

Abstract:
Abstract Cyber Manufacturing Systems (CMS) brings improvements to the manufacturing system and offers an information-transparent environment. Although CMS’s enhanced system brings many advantages to its manufacturing process, it is at a higher risk of security breach ironically due to its accessibility and connectivity. Therefore, implementing CMS without adequate security measures will make the system vulnerable to intruders including insiders. To identify insider threats, a risk assessment-based framework has been explored by many researchers in the information security community. however, less work has been done to analyze CMS’s vulnerabilities. Therefore, an Insider Attack Scenario Assessment Framework (IASAF) is proposed in this paper. IASAF is developed to detect the system’s security vulnerabilities and evaluate the insider attack scenarios by using five domains including: actor, preparation, implementation, consequence, and recovery. To validate and demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework, a testbed was used to study a case.
