Abstract:
Abstract In a recultivation area located in Brandenburg, Germany, five types of biocrusts (initial BSC1, developed BSC2 and BSC3, mosses, lichens) and non-crusted mineral substrate were sampled on tertiary sand deposited in 1985- 1986 to investigate hydrologic interactions between crust patches. Crust biomass was lowest in the non-crusted substrate, increased to the initial BSC1 and peaked in the developed BSC2, BSC3, the lichens and the mosses. Water infiltration was highest on the substrate, and decreased to BSC2, BSC1 and BSC3. Non-metric multidimensional scaling revealed that the lichens and BSC3 were associated with water soluble nutrients and with pyrite weathering products, thus representing a high nutrient low hydraulic feedback mode. The mosses and BSC2 represented a low nutrient high hydraulic feedback mode. These feedback mechanisms were considered as synergic, consisting of run-off generating (low hydraulic) and run-on receiving (high hydraulic) BSC patches. Three scenarios for BSC succession were proposed. (1) Initial BSCs sealed the surface until they reached a successional stage (represented by BSC1) from which the development into either of the feedback modes was triggered, (2) initial heterogeneities of the mineral substrate controlled the development of the feedback mode, and (3) complex interactions between lichens and mosses occurred at later stages of system development.

Abstract:
The objective was to evaluate the effects of the probiotics Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus (4x1011 CFU kg−1) (BSC) in diets for Nile tilapia fingerlings. A total of 450 fish (average weight of 2.81 ± 0.06 g) were distributed in a completely randomized design, in 15 aquariums of 210 liters, consisting of five treatments and three replications. The isoproteic and isoenergetic experimental rations were formulated as follows: BSC1: 0% (control); BSC2: 0.6%; BSC3: 0.8%; BSC4: 1.0%; BSC5: 2.0% of probiotics per kg of feed at a concentration of 4x1011 CFU kg−1. The animals were fed the experimental diets for 30 days. At the end of the study, the productive performance was determined, and bromatological and histological analyzes of the fish were carried out. It was concluded that the probiotic did not influence the zootechnical performance of Nile tilapia fingerlings. The use of 0.8% of BSC appeared as a dietary supplementation strategy for Nile tilapia fingerlings, due to the efficacies found in the main results of body centesimal composition and in adaptations in the histomorphometry of the intestinal villi.

Abstract:
Responsiveness/relevance is perceived as the starting point for determining what constitutes a quality education. Since development is necessary, systems that support development, like education and training systems, must be responsive. This study is focused on the relevance and responsiveness of the Bachelor of Science in Customs Administration (BSCA) program and to determine whether the initiatives currently practiced by the college to make the program relevant/responsive are effective. John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation-Bacolod is a higher education institution that offers a BSCA program and is the only one in Negros Occidental. However, despite the very satisfactory results in the board examination in the past years and the high demand for employment in the import and export industry, only a few are enrolled in the program. Hence, the conduct of this study is to explore opportunities to improve enrolment. This descriptive study used the survey method to gather the data needed, with Mean and Standard Deviation as statistical tools. A discussion with representative stakeholders was made on the initiatives and strategies practiced by the college to calibrate the program. The respondents were 24 BSCA students, 53 alumni, and 22 industry representatives. The findings showed that the BSCA program is relevant and responsive to a very great extent, as assessed by the alumni and students, and relevant/responsive to a great extent by the industry.

Abstract:
Abstract Objective. To monitor the human respiration rate (RR) using infrared thermography (IRT) and artificial intelligence, in a completely contactless, automated, and non-invasive manner. Approach. The human breathing signals (BS) were obtained using IRT, by plotting the change in temperature occurring across the nostrils during breathing, with respect to time. The RR was monitored under extreme conditions (random head motion, involuntary body movements, etc), by developing deep learning (DL) based ‘Residual network50+Facial landmark detection’ (ResNet 50+FLD) model. This model was built and evaluated on 10 000 thermograms and is the first work that documents the use of a DL classifier on a large thermal dataset for nostril tracking. Further, the acquired BS were filtered using the moving average filter (MAF), and the Butterworth filter (BF), and a comparative analysis of their performance was done. The novel ‘breathing signal characterization algorithm (BSCA)’ was proposed to obtain the RR in an automated manner. This algorithm is the first work that identifies the breaths in the thermal BS as regular, prolonged, or rapid, using machine learning (ML). The ‘exploratory data analysis’ was performed to choose an appropriate ML algorithm for the BSCA. The performance of the ‘BSCA’ was evaluated for both ‘decision tree (DT)’ and ‘support vector machine(SVM)’ models. Main results. The ‘ResNet 50+FLD model’ had Validation and Testing accuracy, of 99.5%, and 99.4% respectively. The Precision, Sensitivity, Specificity, F-measure, and G- mean values were computed as well. The comparative analysis of the filters revealed that the BF performed better than the MAF. The ‘BSCA’ performed better with the SVM classifier, than the DT classifier, with validation accuracy, and testing accuracy of 99.5%, and 98.83%, respectively. Significance. The ever-increasing number of critical cases and the limited availability of skilled medical attendants, advocates in favor of an automated and harmless health monitoring system. The proposed methodology is completely contactless, thus eliminating the risk of infections that spread through contact. There is a wide scope of using this methodology in complete darkness, and in remote areas as well, where there is a lack of medical attendants.

Abstract:
Abstract. Aerosol particles are of importance in the Earth's radiation budget since they scatter and absorb sunlight. While extensive studies of aerosol optical properties have been conducted at ground sites, vertical measurements and characterization are very limited in megacities. In this work, we present simultaneous real-time online measurements of aerosol optical properties at ground level and at 260 m on a meteorological tower from 16 November to 13 December in 2016 in Beijing along with measurements of continuous vertical profiles during two haze episodes. The average (±1σ) scattering and absorption coefficients (bsca and babs; λ=630 nm) were 337.6 (±356.0) and 36.6 (±33.9) Mm−1 at 260 m, which were 26.5 % and 22.5 % lower than those at ground level. Single scattering albedo (SSA), however, was comparable between the two heights, with slightly higher values at ground level (0.89±0.04). Although bsca and babs showed overall similar temporal variations between ground level and 260 m, the ratios of 260 m to ground varied substantially from less than 0.4 during the clean stages of haze episodes to > 0.8 in the late afternoon. A more detailed analysis indicates that vertical profiles of bsca, babs, and SSA in the low atmosphere were closely related to the changes in meteorological conditions and mixing layer height. The mass absorption cross section (MAC) of equivalent black carbon (eBC, λ=630 nm) varied substantially from 9.5 to 13.2 m2 g−1 in winter in Beijing, and it was strongly associated with the mass ratio of coating materials on refractory BC (rBC) to rBC (MR), and also the oxidation degree of organics in rBC-containing particles. Our results show that the increases in MAC of eBC in winter were mainly caused by photochemically produced secondary materials. Light absorption of organic carbon (brown carbon, BrC) was also important in winter, which on average accounted for 46 (±8.5) % and 48 (±9.3) % of the total absorption at 370 nm at ground level and 260 m, respectively. A linear regression model combined with positive matrix factorization analysis was used to show that coal combustion was the dominant source contribution of BrC (48 %–55 %) followed by biomass burning (17 %) and photochemically processed secondary organic aerosol (∼20 %) in winter in Beijing.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Antimicrobials are among the most commonly prescribed medications in US hospitals; an estimated 50% of hospitalized patients receive an antimicrobial. Research has shown that antimicrobial prescriptions to vary by patient- and hospital-level factors; however, disparities by patient neighborhood characteristics have not been examined. We evaluated associations between hospital and neighborhood indicators of socioeconomic status (SES) and antimicrobial use (AU) for gram-positive bacterial infections (GPBs), and broad-spectrum use for community-acquired infections (BSCAs) and hospital-onset infections (BSHOs). Methods: This analysis was conducted among 86 acute-care hospitals in California that submitted AU data via the NHSN in 2019. Hospital-level AU was measured as standardized antimicrobial administration ratios (SAARs) calculated by dividing observed antimicrobial use by risk-adjusted predicted antimicrobial use for GPB, BSCA, and BSHO antimicrobial groupings and categorized as binary (>1 or <1); SAARs >1 indicate potential inappropriate prescribing. California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development 2018 data were used to obtain hospital characteristics and patient age, race or ethnicity, insurance, and comorbidities (defined by Charlson comorbidity index) for hospitalizations where AU may have been indicated, based on International Classification of Diseases Tenth Revision (ICD-10) diagnosis codes. The California Healthy Places Index (HPI) was used to obtain composite neighborhood SES indicators for each patient at the ZIP code level, measured as tertiles. Covariates were aggregated to the hospital level. Poisson regressions were used to evaluate the association between hospital and neighborhood SES indicators and SAAR scores, controlling for potential hospital-level confounders. Results: Among 86 hospitals included in the analysis, the mean patient age for hospitalizations where AU may have been indicated was 66 years, the proportion of white patients was 55%, and the mean proportion of Medi-Cal users was 19%. After adjusting for confounders including age, race or ethnicity, insurance status, comorbidities, and number of hospital beds; higher median values of patient SES had a protective effect against hospitals having GP SAAR scores > 1 (relative risk [RR], 0.68; 95% CI, 0.50–0.93) but was not significantly associated with hospitals having BSCA SAAR scores >1 (RR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.62–1.02) or BSHO SAAR scores >1 (RR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.61–1.04). Conclusions: Considering SES in addition to summary antimicrobial use scores such as SAARs may help identify populations potentially at risk for inappropriate AU; however, patient-level information is still necessary to evaluate appropriateness of antimicrobial prescribing.Funding: NoDisclosures: None

Abstract:
Admission tests in college assess students’ readiness for the college level education while mock board examination evaluates readiness for the licensure examination. The performance of BS Customs Administration students in these two tests and their relationship to their performance in the Licensure Examination for Customs Brokers (LECB) were considered in the investigation. Using inferential statistics, scores in the entrance examination and ratings in the mock board examination of BSCA students for the past four years were correlated with their ratings in the LECB. A total of 66 students who graduated from 2011 to 2014 who took the licensure examination and with complete entrance exams and mock board exam records served as respondents of this study. Results revealed a positive significant relationship between the composite score in the admission test and students’ scores in the four subjects of the LECB: Customs Laws and Implementing Rules and Regulations; Tariff Laws and International Trade Agreements; Warehousing, Transportation and Cargo Handling Operations; and Practical Computations of Customs Duties, Taxes, and other charges. Ratings in the four subject areas of the mock board examination were also significantly related to scores in the equivalent subject areas of the LECB. The study concludes the importance of entrance tests as part of the admission policy in the BSCA program and the mock board examination in improving the performance of graduates in the Licensure Examination for Customs Brokers.

Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) is a chronic disease. Although colonscopy is the gold standard for assessing activity, itcarries a considerable discomfort. We evaluate the value of bowel sound computational analysis (BSCA) as a tool in assist diagnosis and severity in Crohn’s disease(CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods We used homemade BSCA as a tool in assist bowel sound(BS). Five minutes recordings were taken for patients. The BS activity, sound duration, peak frequency (Hz) and bowel sound index (SI) was recorded. Results We enrolled 16 CD, 22 UC and 20 healthy controls. In CD patients, BS peak frequency was significantly higher than UC and controls (p=0.01). In UC patients, BS SI was significantly higher than CD and controls (mean 2024 V/min vs 1687 and 1181, p=0.04 and 0.01, respectively). We further evaluated the relation between these two parameters and the degree of severity. In CD patients, BS peak frequency were higher in patients with CDAI over 150 than CDAI under 150 (mean 370.7 Hz vs 358.2 Hz, p=0.045). In UC patients, BS SI was significantly higher in patients with mayo score(MS) larger than 6,compare to MS 3-5, MS 0-2, and controls (mean 2269 V/min vs 1863,1638, and1181, P all=0.01). Conclusion CD patients had higher BS peak frequency and UC patients had higher bowel sound index. These characteristic of BS changes seemed correlated to the severity of IBD.

Abstract:
Les dispositifs interconnectés tels que les réseaux de capteurs, la santé, les systèmes de contrôle distribués, l’internet des objets et les systèmes cyber-physiques sont de plus en plus répandus. Cette transition vers de petits appareils engendre de nouvelles préoccupations en matière de sécurité et de vie privée, car de nombreux algorithmes cryptographiques classiques ne répondent pas toujours aux exigences spécifiques de ces dispositifs restreints. Face à ce besoin de nouvelles solutions, l’Institut National des Normes et de la Technologie (NIST pour National Institute of Standards and Technology) a lancé une compétition visant à solliciter, évaluer et normaliser les algorithmes cryptographiques légers adaptés à ces environnements contraints. Ma thèse se concentre sur la compréhension de l’impact des attaques physiques sur la sécurité des chiffrements intègres légers, en particulier ceux proposés dans le cadre de la compétition du NIST. Nous proposons ainsi une attaque par observations à textes inconnus sur Elephant. Ces travaux aboutissent également au développement d’outils pour la propagation de croyance, ouvrant ainsi de nouvelles perspectives pour l’évaluation de la sécurité des systèmes cryptographiques. Parallèlement, nous explorons l’utilisation de la propagation de croyance pour effectuer des attaques par observation à textes inconnus sur Elephant et Sparkle. Finalement, nous ciblons le vainqueur de la compétition Ascon pour effectuer le début d’une attaque pratique en cours avec des traces réelles en exploitant le chemin d’attaque trouvé. Ces recherches contribuent de manière significative à la compréhension et à l’amélioration de la sécurité des systèmes embarqués et des dispositifs interconnectés dans des domaines critiques
Today, various emerging sectors such as sensor networks, healthcare, distributed control systems, the Internet of Things, and cyber-physical systems involve interconnected devices with significant constraints. These devices typically communicate wirelessly and collaborate to perform specific tasks. The transition from desktop computers to small devices raises new security and privacy concerns. Many conventional cryptographic standards have been optimized for desktop and server environments, sometimes overlooking the specific security, performance, and resource requirements of constrained devices. This necessity for new algorithms has prompted national institute of standards and technology (NIST) to launch a process aimed at soliciting, evaluating, and standardizing lightweight cryptographic algorithms suitable for use in constrained environments. This thesis studies the impact of physical attacks on the security. Specifically, the study focuses on algorithms proposed in the context of the NIST competition. It includes an in-depth study of physical attacks on the 10 finalist algorithms. Additionally, it offers a detailed analysis of a blind side channel analysis (BSCA) on NIST candidate Elephant. Furthermore, this research has led to the development of tools for belief propagation (BP), providing new perspectives for evaluating the security of cryptographic systems. It also explores the use of belief propagation (BP) to improve the power of blind side channel analysis (BSCA) on NIST candidate Elephant and another candidate, Sparkle. Finally, this thesis presents the beginnings of a practical attack on Ascon in progress, aimed at identifying potential vulnerabilities and assessing the robustness of the system. These results make a significant contribution to understanding and improving the security of embedded systems and interconnected devices in critical domains

Abstract:

Most of the clothes sold in Europe today are produced in developing countries where the production costs are lower. The exploitation of the developing countries has led to that the inferior working conditions in these countries have attracted attention from media and NGOs. Globalisation makes company activities more transparent and the absence of transnational laws calls for alternative regulations. Many companies in Europe has since mid 1990s developed codes of conduct to satisfy the demands of external and internal stakeholders. EU also brought Corporate Social Responsibility to it’s agenda in the beginning of the 2000s and subsequently signals of approaching laws were given. To avoid laws being made FTA gathered representatives from companies and NGOs to discuss the possibility of a joint European standardised collaboration. The result was Business Social Compliance Initiative, BSCI.

The aim of the study is to illuminate on what grounds the Swedish companies made the decision to develop and to join the collaboration BSCI. The thesis is based on interviews and written sources and theories used are the theory of new institutionalism and standardisation theory. Since the study is a case study on AB Lindex, KappAhl AB and JC AB it is not meant to be generalised but aims to give a deeper understanding of the chosen companies.

The study reveals that the decision to transfer to BSCI was a natural step which was not preceded by any serious discussions. The companies believe that the cooperation will give them more power to influence the suppliers, they also expect the collaboration to facilitate procedures since they no longer have to implement, audit and evaluate the codes of conduct individually. There is also a positive outcome for the supplier who will not be audited by several companies but instead by a common audit company. The cooperation simplifies information sharing and offers companies the possibility to learn from each other. The companies state that there is a correlation between well run factories and efficient production, hence the codes of conduct will not reduce the efficiency.

Since the implementation of the BSCI code only been going a year it remains to see what the effects of a standardised audit collaboration will be. Although it is positive that the trade business has taken an initiative for sustainable consumption.

Full text
Abstract:
BspA was first identified on the basis of being the major constituent of 5 M LiCl washes of whole Lactobacillus fermentum BR11 cells. The bspA gene is encoded within a putative ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transport operon, and sequence analysis revealed that it is a member of the family III solute binding proteins. Unlike the majority of solute binding proteins from Gram-positive bacteria, BspA is not tethered to a lipid anchor in the cell membrane, and hence is not a lipoprotein. Extraction of BspA with concentrated salt solutions such as 5 M LiCl is consistent with the notion that electrostatic interactions are responsible for securing it to the L. fermentum BR11 cell. L. fermentum PNG201 is a BspA negative mutant strain created by disrupting bspA. This strain was shown to be incapable of cystine uptake. Thus, the genetic and biochemical evidence strongly suggests BspA is a cystine binding protein of an ABC transporter. Measurement of the binding affinity between BspA and L-cystine has confirmed high affinity binding (dissociation constant is 0.2 µM), and high specificity (over 100-fold excess of non-target amino acids did not disrupt BspA / L-cystine binding). In addition, collagen did not appear to affect BspA/cystine binding, indicating extracellular matrix (ECM) binding capacity noted by other researchers may be unrelated to amino acid binding. An interesting phenotypic characteristic of L. fermentum PNG201 is its apparent increased sensitivity to oxygen and the superoxide-generating chemical - paraquat compared to the parent L. fermentum BR11 strain. Catalase supplemented aerobic cultures of L. fermentum BR11, and L. fermentum PNG201 were protected from oxidative stress, suggesting hydrogen peroxide is responsible for the observed oxidative stress. It was found that addition of cystine to aerobic cultures of L. fermentum BR11 or L. fermentum PNG201 protected both strains from oxidative stress, with L. fermentum BR11 able to utilize smaller concentrations of cystine compared to L. fermentum PNG201. Detection of hydrogen peroxide in aerobic cultures of L. fermentum BR11 and L. fermentum PNG201 confirmed the production of hydrogen peroxide is responsible for causing oxidative stress. The BspA mutant strain L. fermentum PNG201 consistently produced more hydrogen peroxide per optical density compared with the wild type, indicating it overproduced hydrogen peroxide. When 0.4 mM hydrogen peroxide has been accumulated by growing cell cultures, both L. fermentum BR11 and L. fermentum PNG201 enters stationary phase, suggesting both strains have a similar sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide. Small epitopes from the HIV gp41 protein and the Chlamydia psittaci major outer membrane protein have been successfully displayed on the cell surface of L. fermentum BR11 as fusion proteins to the BspA molecule. However, the capability of BspA in exporting larger polypeptides has not been tested. In this study, the large extracellular enzyme - glucosyltransferase (GtfJ) from Streptococcus salivarius ATCC 25975 was fused to BspA to demonstrate that this expression system is capable of exporting large functional enzymes to the cell surface of L. fermentum BR11. The native GtfJ is 160kDa in size and also contained an export signal, which was deleted in the cloning process and replaced with BspA, resulting in a fusion protein of 175kDa. Export of the BspA/GtfJ fusion protein is dependant entirely on BspA's export signal. Recombinant enzyme expression and glucosyltransferase activity were detected by measuring the glucan formed by sonicated cell extracts in acrylamide gels. Enzyme activity measurements on whole cells has revealed the recombinant Lactobacillus was incorporating 20-40 nmol of sucrose-derived-glucose into glucan per ml of cell culture per OD unit, which is comparable to activity levels exhibited by the native bacteria that expressed this enzyme. Comparison of GtfJ enzyme activity between whole cells and sonicated cell extracts of recombinant L. fermentum confirmed the extracellular location of BspA/GtfJ as enzyme activity was essentially identical.

It was found that addition of cystine to aerobic cultures of L. fermentum BR11 or L. fermentum PNG201 protected both strains from oxidative stress, with L. fermentum BR11 able to utilize smaller concentrations of cystine compared to L. fermentum PNG201. Detection of hydrogen peroxide in aerobic cultures of L. fermentum BR11 and L. fermentum PNG201 confirmed the production of hydrogen peroxide is responsible for causing oxidative stress. The BspA mutant strain L. fermentum PNG201 consistently produced more hydrogen peroxide per optical density compared with the wild type, indicating it overproduced hydrogen peroxide. When 0.4 mM hydrogen peroxide has been accumulated by growing cell cultures, both L. fermentum BR11 and L. fermentum PNG201 enters stationary phase, suggesting both strains have a similar sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide. Small epitopes from the HIV gp41 protein and the Chlamydia psittaci major outer membrane protein have been successfully displayed on the cell surface of L. fermentum BR11 as fusion proteins to the BspA molecule. However, the capability of BspA in exporting larger polypeptides has not been tested. In this study, the large extracellular enzyme - glucosyltransferase (GtfJ) from Streptococcus salivarius ATCC 25975 was fused to BspA to demonstrate that this expression system is capable of exporting large functional enzymes to the cell surface of L. fermentum BR11. The native GtfJ is 160kDa in size and also contained an export signal, which was deleted in the cloning process and replaced with BspA, resulting in a fusion protein of 175kDa. Export of the BspA/GtfJ fusion protein is dependant entirely on BspA's export signal. Recombinant enzyme expression and glucosyltransferase activity were detected by measuring the glucan formed by sonicated cell extracts in acrylamide gels. Enzyme activity measurements on whole cells has revealed the recombinant Lactobacillus was incorporating 20-40 nmol of sucrose-derived-glucose into glucan per ml of cell culture per OD unit, which is comparable to activity levels exhibited by the native bacteria that expressed this enzyme. Comparison of GtfJ enzyme activity between whole cells and sonicated cell extracts of recombinant L. fermentum confirmed the extracellular location of BspA/GtfJ as enzyme activity was essentially identical.

Abstract:
Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Sistemas de Informação Organizacionais
O processo de tomada de decisão é uma das etapas mais relevante da gestão, pois é através deste que se define o futuro de uma organização. Este processo tem de estar bem organizado antes da gestão do topo tomar a decisão. E deve conter informação exata e fidedigna. Os habituais sistemas de informação, por sofrerem de algumas insuficiências, não se mostraram à altura do desafio que se exigia. Desse modo, o Balanced ScoreCard (BSC) surgiu como uma solução possível, pois apresenta-se como uma ferramenta de controlo de gestão que serve de apoio à implementação e controlo de uma estratégia previamente definida, baseada na formulação de objetivos, iniciativas, metas, indicadores e perspetivas. Estas perspetivas estão dividido por quatro vertentes, nomeadamente: a financeira, clientes, processos internos e o nível de conhecimento ou aprendizagem organizacional. Neste trabalho, e de modo a compreender o processo de seleção do Software de BSC, foi feita o encadeamento de conceitos de como é feito o processo de seleção do Software do BSC começando pelo estudo dos conceitos, nomeadamente: Estratégia, Indicadores, BSC, Brainstorming, Mapa Estratégico, Gestão de Projetos, Tecnologia de Informação e Implementação de Software de BSC. Depois deste estudo foi feita a implementação do BSC de forma manual para a organização MFSoftwarePT (a organização em estudo) com base na informação disponibilizada pela mesma e a interação com os seus dirigentes e colaboradores. O modelo selecionado partiu dos objetivos, indicadores e relatórios de gestão anuais enviados pela administração da MFSoftwarePT. Posteriormente esses objetivos foram divididos pelas quatro perspetivas sugeridas por Kaplan & Norton (1992) estabelecendo entre elas uma relação de causa e efeito. Para testar a validade do modelo do BSC, foi simulada a sua aplicação à organização MFSoftwarePT e apresentada a análise de resultados. Uma vez concluída a simulação, procedeu-se à inserção dos dados no Software em estudo nomeadamente o BscDesigner tendo-se obtido os resultados apresentados no capítulo 4 (Caso de Estudo). Neste contexto, o presente estudo permitiu compreender a estratégia adotada pela MFSoftwarePT. Porque esta estratégia, permitiu escolher o Software que melhor se adequa à organização em estudo.
The decision-making process is one of the most important stages of management, it is through this that defines the future of an organization. This process has to be well organized before the top management make the decision. And it must contain accurate and reliable information. The usual information systems, suffer from some shortcomings, were not up to the challenge that was required. Thus, the Balanced ScoreCard (BSC) has emerged as a possible solution, it presents itself as a management control tool that supports the implementation and monitoring of a previously defined strategy based on the objectives formulation, initiatives, goals, indicators and perspectives. These perspectives are divided into four areas, namely: financial, customer, internal processes and the level of knowledge and organizational learning. In this work, and to understand the BSC software selection process, it was made the chain of concepts of how it is done the BSC Software selection process starting with the study of concepts, namely: Strategy, Indicators, BSC, Brainstorming , Strategic Map, Project Management, Information Technology and BSC Software Implementation. After this study was done to implement the manual form of BSC for MFSoftwarePT organization (the organization in question) based on the information provided by it and the interaction with their managers and employees. The selected template set out the objectives, indicators and annual management reports sent by the management of MFSoftwarePT. Later these goals were divided by the four perspectives suggested by Kaplan & Norton (1992) establishing between them a relationship of cause and effect. To test the validity of the BSC model was simulated their application to MFSoftwarePT organization and presented the results of analysis. Once the simulation, we proceeded to the inclusion of the data in the Software in the study including BscDesigner yielding the results presented in Chapter 4 (Case Study). In this context, this study enabled us to understand the strategy adopted by MFSoftwarePT. Because this strategy has allowed to choose the software that best suits the organization under study.

Este trabalho mostra a influência da porosidade do suporte poroso no fluxo de oxigênio de membranas suportadas de composição Ba0,5Sr0,5Co0,8Fe0,2O3-? (BSCF) utilizadas para separação de oxigênio do ar. Por meio de um modelamento, é mostrada uma prova do efeito de poros não-conectados e relações importantes para os fluxos de oxigênio. Assim, existe uma hipótese e uma forte prova da hipótese. Para essa pesquisa foram produzidas e caracterizadas membranas densas, suportes porosos e membranas suportadas do sistema BSCF de estrutura perovskita. As membranas densas, bem como os suportes porosos, foram produzidos por prensagem uniaxial e co-sinterização. Os suportes porosos foram produzidos utilizando dois diferentes agentes formadores de poros: copolímero em bloco de polioxietileno-polioxipropileno e carbono ativado. Camadas porosas de ativação utilizando carbono ativado como formador de poros também foram produzidas e depositadas sobre as membranas BSCF. Foi encontrado que o copolímero gera uma porosidade não interconectada, prejudicando o desempenho das membranas mais finas depositadas sobre o suporte. A limitação exercida pelo suporte reduziu o fluxo de oxigênio em torno de 30%, o que coincidiu com a redução na condutividade elétrica entre a membrana densa e o suporte (33%) e com o valor da porosidade (35%). Um modelo matemático foi proposto para explicar o transporte de oxigênio por meio do suporte de porosidade não conectada, o qual coincidiu com os resultados experimentais, relacionando a dependência do fluxo com a geometria dos poros, a espessura do suporte e a temperatura. Foi também observado que o carbono ativado gera uma porosidade interconectada, mas não homogênea em toda sua estrutura. As camadas de ativação auxiliaram no aumento significativo do fluxo de oxigênio e, por fim, foi observado que o novo suporte ainda exerceu uma influência negativa no fluxo total de oxigênio, no entanto, de 17% contra aproximadamente 30% em relação ao suporte poroso produzido anteriormente. As membranas densas, os suportes porosos e as membranas suportadas foram também avaliadas sob ensaios de microdureza. Foi observada a forte influência da porosidade nos resultados. Positivamente, foi observado que o ensaio não danificou as membranas assimétricas, mostrando a boa integridade das mesmas, as quais apresentaram valores similares de microdureza àqueles observados nas membranas densas.

Abstract : This work shows the porosity influence of the porous support in the oxygen flux of supported Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-? (BSCF) membranes composition for oxygen separation from air. Considering a modeling, it is shown a proof of the effect of non-connected pores and important relations to oxygen fluxes. Hence, there is a hypothesis and a strong proof of the hypothesis. For this research, dense membranes, porous supports and supported membranes of BSCF system and perovskite structure were produced and characterized. Dense membranes as well as porous supports were produced by dry pressing and co-firing. The porous substrates were fabricated using two different pore forming agents polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymer and activated carbon. Porous activation layers using activated carbon as pore former were also produced and coated on BSCF membranes. It was found that the copolymer generates a non-interconnected porosity, which impairs the performance of the thinner membranes on porous substrates in relation to the oxygen flux. The limitation exerted by the porous support reduced the oxygen flux by 30 %, which matched well with the reduction in electrical conductivity between the dense membrane and support (33 %) and the porosity (35 %). A mathematical model was proposed to explain the transport of oxygen through the non-connected pores, which matched well with the experimental results, by relating the dependence of the overall oxygen flux with the geometry of the pores, the support thickness and the temperature. It was also observed that the activated carbon creates an interconnected porosity, although not homogeneous throughout its structure. The activation layers assisted in a significant increase of oxygen flux and finally, it was also observed that the new support still exerted a negative influence on the oxygen flux, however, 17 %, against approximately 30% compared to the previously produced porous support. Dense membranes, porous substrates and supported membranes were also evaluated under micro hardness tests. It was observed the strong influence of the porosity in the results. Positively, it was observed that the test did not compromise the integrity of the asymmetric membranes, showing good integrity of those, which have presented similar micro hardness values to those observed for the dense membranes.

ABSTRACT Titel: Gavlegårdarnas BSC, Balanserat styrkort i ett fastighetsbolag Nivå: C-uppsats i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Daniel Lazic & Adrian Ottosson Handledare: Ann Wetterlind-Dörner Datum: 2011 - Maj Syfte: Vår C-uppsats tar sin början i en litteratur- och fallstudie som vi utförde i kursen Verksamhetsstyrning 2 där syftet var att fördjupa oss inom ett styrkoncept. Syftet med den här studien är att uppdatera Gavlegårdarnas balanserade styrkort. Genom en studie i litteraturen ville vi få en uppfattning samt presentera hur ett effektivt styrkort kan vara utformat. Därefter ville vi identifiera de brister som finns i Gavlegårdarnas styrkort och utifrån detta ge förslag på hur uppdateringen av styrkortet kan gå till. Metod: I vår studie har vi arbetat utifrån en deduktiv ansats. Vi valde att arbeta kring en kvalitativ vetenskaplig metod då vi skulle göra empiriska intervjuer. Vi har använt oss av både sekundär- och primärdata. Vi har sedan jämfört teori med empiri för att identifiera skillnader mellan dem, men även för att upptäcka brister som idag finns och för att slutligen ge förslag till förbättringar. Resultat & slutsats: Några brister vi identifierat är att Gavlegårdarna inte låter sitt BSC genomsyra hela verksamheten, att det inte finns tydliga kopplingar mellan de fyra perspektiven i styrkortet och att de inte använder sig av strategier för att uppnå de mål de har under varje perspektiv. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Fortsatt forskning kan handla om en jämförelse mellan fler fastighetsbolag, olika kommunalägda bolag. En studie kring att implementera ett helt nytt BSC i Gavlegårdarnas verksamhet kan vara intressant eller en vidare forskning om kritiken kring BSC, som lett fram till användandet av strategiska kartor. Uppsatsens bidrag: Vi hoppas att vi genom vårt arbete kan komma att få andra studenter att bli inspirerade och intresserade av BSC. Kanske kan framtida uppsatsskrivare hitta inspiration i vårt arbete och utveckla det vi har skrivit eller bygga vidare på de förslag till fortsatt forskning som vi har givit. Nyckelord: Balanserat styrkort, BSC, styrkortet, de fyra perspektiven, implementering, IT - stöd, kritik, förslag till förbättringar.
ABSTRACT Title: Gavlegårdarnas BSC, The balanced scorecard in a real estate company Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Daniel Lazic & Adrian Ottosson Supervisor: Ann Wetterlind-Dörner Date: 2011 - may Aim: Our essay starts with a literature review and a case study that we did in the course Business Management 2. The purpose was to immerse ourselves in a steering concept. The purpose of this study is updating the balanced scorecard for Gavlegårdarna. Through literature, we wanted to get an idea and present how an effective BSC can be designed. Then we wanted to identify the failures of Gavlegårdarna scorecard and from this give suggestion of how the update may be completed.  Method: In our thesis we have worked from a deductive approach. We choose to do a qualitative scientific method as we would do empirical interviews. We used both secondary and primary data. Then we compared the theory with empirical data to identify discrepancies between theory and empiricism. Then we wanted to identify the gaps and make suggestions for improvement. Result & Conclusions: Some of the weaknesses we have identified are that the company doesn’t let their BSC to permeate all its activities, they haven’t clear links between the four perspectives of the scorecard and they do not use any direct strategies to achieve the objectives it has in each perspective. Suggestions for future research: Future research may involve a comparison between more real estate companies or between different public owned companies. A study of implementing a completely new BSC in Gavlegårdarnas organization can be interesting and further research into the criticism of the BSC, which led to the use of strategic maps. Contribution of the thesis: We hope that through our work other students might be inspired and interested in the BSC. Perhaps future paper writers will find inspiration in our work and reflect upon what we have written, or make future researches on the proposals that we have given. Key words: Balanced Scorecard, BSC, scorecard, the four perspectives, implementation, IT - support, criticism, suggestions for improvement.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Kaplan och Nortons modell Balanced Scorecard (BSC) introducerades i början av 1990-talet och är ett populärt resultatmätningssystem och strategiskt managementsystem inom ekonomi- och verksamhetsstyrning. BSC exemplifierar det Røvik (2008) kallar ett organisationsrecept och Abrahamson (1996) ett organisationsmode som spridits på en marknad för ekonomistyrningsmodeller. För att underlätta spridning av BSC samt minska motståndet på lokala marknader kan komponenter inkluderas, till exempel som Ax och Bjørnenak (2005) exemplifierar i Sverige avseende BSC och medarbetarperspektivet, ett budgetlöst företagande och det intellektuella kapitalet. Utöver modellens grundare, forskare, konsulter och massme-dia utgör studenter en aktörsroll som både är mottagare av BSC under utbildningen och spridningsagenter i samband med uppsatsarbeten och sedermera i yrkesutövningen. Det är kategorin studenter som är huvudfokus i denna uppsats om BSC popularitet och livscykel. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att skapa förståelse för om och på vilket sätt BSC kan uppfattas som ett populärt organisationsrecept. Detta genom att kartlägga förekomst och beskriva vad som studerats och hur det har presenterats i uppsatser relaterade till BSC tidsperioden 1997 till 2013, med tyngdpunkt på åren 2000-2012. Jämförelsen mellan den empiriska och teoretiska referensramen ska leda till att belysa BSC livscykel. Metod: En dokumentstudie har genomförts där det empiriska materialet är avgränsat till uppsatser vilka producerats vid svenska universitet och högskolor och publicerats i endera eller bägge dataarkiven DiVA och Uppsök vilka finns tillgängliga via Internet. Uppsatser som där-utöver kan återfinnas i lokala arkiv via lärosätenas bibliotek och hemsidor ingår inte i studien. Resultat, Slutsatser: Resultaten i denna undersökning som omfattar information om cirka 500 uppsatser visar att antalet uppsatser som relaterats till BSC ökat till år 2006 för att därefter uppvisa en avtagande trend. Det är dock en skillnad mellan studier inriktade mot offentlig eller privat verksamhet, där det de senaste tre åren finns indikationer på ett stigande intresse för BSC inom privat verksamhet. Det går att spåra avtryck av BSC innehåll och utveckling i uppsatserna, till exempel studier om budget och BSC och studerade organisationer som omnämns i den svenska BSC litteraturen. Ett tydligt avtryck är studerande som spridningsagenter för BSC och en länk mellan akademi och praktik på en marknad för ekonomistyrningsmodeller. Baserat på en beräkning med mycket förenklade antaganden har studerande gemensamt ägnat nästan två sekel till att genomföra undersökningar som är mer eller mindre inriktade mot BSC.
Background: Kaplan and Norton’s Balanced Scorecard (BSC) was introduced in the beginning of the 1990s and is a popular performance management system and strategic management system. BSC is also an example of a management idea (Røvik 2008) and management fashion (Abrahamson 1996) disseminated in a management fashion market. To facilitate the dissemination process and to minimize the resistance on local markets several components may be included. In Sweden for example described components are a human perspective, intellectual capital and abandoning of budget (Ax & Bjørnenak 2005). Kaplan and Norton - the founders of the concept together with researchers, consultants and mass media are members of a management-fashion-setting community. Students are also an actor in a management fashion market and they are recipients of BSC in training and in professional occupations. Therefore the student category is the main focus in this study. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to create an understanding whether and in what way BSC may be perceived as a popular management idea. This by first identifying the presence of BSC and then describe what has been studied and how it has been presented in essays during the period 1997 to 2013, with emphasis on the period 2000 to 2012. The comparison between the empirical and theoretical frame of reference will illustrate BSC life cycle. Method: A document study has been performed and the empirical sample is delimited to essays produced at universities in Sweden and published in one or both of the data archives named DiVA and Uppsök. The archives are available on Internet. Essays which additionally may be found at university libraries and their websites are not included in the study. Results, Conclusions: The empirical sample comprises information of about 500 essays and there are a growing number of studies about BSC until the year 2006. Thereafter a tendency for a decline in popularity exists. There is a difference between studies about public and private organizations where there are indications for a growing interest of BSC in private organizations during the last three years of the time period 2000 to 2012. One can find imprints of BSC components and development in the essays. For example BSC and budget and Swedish organizations that are exemplified in the Swedish BSC literature. A strong impression is that students as an actor on a management fashion market, with simplified assumptions have collectively spent almost two centuries to investigate topics which are more or less dedicated to BSC.

Abstract:
AbstractDetection of bottom strongly connected components (BSCC) in state-transition graphs is an important problem with many applications, such as detecting recurrent states in Markov chains or attractors in dynamical systems. However, these graphs’ size is often entirely out of reach for algorithms using explicit state-space exploration, necessitating alternative approaches such as the symbolic one.Symbolic methods for BSCC detection often show impressive performance, but can sometimes take a long time to converge in large graphs. In this paper, we provide a symbolic state-space reduction method for labelled transition systems, called interleaved transition guided reduction (ITGR), which aims to alleviate current problems of BSCC detection by efficiently identifying large portions of the non-BSCC states.We evaluate the suggested heuristic on an extensive collection of 125 real-world biologically motivated systems. We show that ITGR can easily handle all these models while being either the only method to finish, or providing at least an order-of-magnitude speedup over existing state-of-the-art methods. We then use a set of synthetic benchmarks to demonstrate that the technique also consistently scales to graphs with more than $$2^{1000}$$ 2 1000 vertices, which was not possible using previous methods.

Abstract:
Inconsistencies in scientific literature related to radar compact polarimetry (CP) has raised issues in analysis tool development and in derived results comparison. These inconsistencies primarily result from confusion between the Forward Scattering Alignment (FSA) and the Backward Scattering Alignment (BSA) conventions. This can lead to the misinterpretation of results when the circular direction of rotation of the transmitted signal is not properly considered. This technical note summarizes and demonstrates the relationships between coherently received wave under a linear or a circular configuration for right circular transmitted signals under the BSA convention. As well, it defines the received Stokes vector, for right circular transmitted signals, in terms of a linear or a circular receiving bases and in terms of fully polarimetric data.

Abstract:
The distressed/street children are deprived of the basic necessities of life, such as food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, and other supports – psychological and others, needed for a child. The government initiated six Shishu Bikash Kendra (SBKs) to improve the environment for street children, their quality of life, and future prospects. Bangladesh Shishu Academy (BSA), under the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs (MoWCA), has designed a holistic model that will directly reach 1,500 children (250 under each SBK) and promote their education, livelihood opportunities, healthcare, and protection. SBK, being implemented by BSA, aims to improve the quality of life of these deprived children by providing accommodation and food with a major focus on education and training. This study examines the process of targeting and selecting children and assesses the situation of children living in the SBK. The major problem faced by the SBK children is accommodation, including access to bath and toilet facilities. In addition to limited floor space, most of the SBKs do not have adequate bathrooms and latrines. It is very important for the SBKs to have their own buildings with adequate bath and toilet facilities. The selection process may be changed as there is provision to accommodate more children. The number of children staying should be increased by changing the selection process (for example, collecting children from slums/remote areas). A protective environment is pivotal to governments’ commitment to ensuring that no child is deprived of the material, spiritual, and emotional resources needed to achieve their potential so that they can participate as full and equal members of society. BSA should make efforts to provide children with the necessary skill/vocational training and other assistance to ensure job prospects for them by networking with different government departments/agencies so that they can participate in income-earning activities and be capable of supporting themselves and become useful members of the society.
