Abstract:

Although technological innovations have been widely adopted in elementary schools, efforts to implement these have generally not been successful. Past research on innovation has largely ignored the social context in which implementation occurs. This research examines how the implementation of the microcomputer is affected by traditional social context variables of socioeconomic status (SES), school size, and grade span as well as by “content specific” social context variables such as the type of computer, the length of time schools have owned computers, and student to computer ratio. Findings from the study of implementation in a random sample of 128 elementary schools indicate that SES and student to computer ratio have a strong, significant impact on the level of computer implementation. SES also interacts with school size and grade span to affect the progress of implementation.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand how the association between leadership styles (task or relation orientation) and lean manufacturing (LM) implementation changes due to two contextual variables, team size and the leader’s age. Design/methodology/approach The authors carried out a survey with 225 leaders from different Brazilian companies that are implementing LM. Research constructs were validated through rigorous procedures using confirmatory factor analysis. Hypotheses were tested using ordinary linear least squares regression. Findings The results suggest that larger teams and more senior managers were negatively associated with LM implementation. Task-orientation style makes leaders more likely to achieve higher levels of LM than relation-orientation style leaders. Finally, the influence of relation-oriented leaders on LM implementation is contingent upon the size of the team. Research limitations/implications Regarding study’s limitations, sample size and respondents’ location restrict results to this contextual condition, indicating that increasing the sample would help provide wider and more generalizable results. It is also worth noting that results are based on respondents’ (leaders) perspective. Hence, future studies may collect data from multiple perspectives, such as leaders and their followers, in order to compare results so as to verify the convergence or divergence among different respondents. Practical implications The results suggest that leaders should have different behaviors according to the context in which they are inserted. Therefore, such behavioral prescriptions are useful for managers since they are pressured to achieve high operational performance in short time periods and with few resources. Further, companies undergoing lean implementation may also be able to stimulate proper leadership behaviors and promote development programs accordingly, which is extremely relevant since behavioral changes usually take time. Originality/value The evolutionary process for achieving a successful lean enterprise requires different leadership styles according to the context in which leaders are inserted. This research provides arguments to help better understand the recommended leadership behaviors for lean implementation, complementing existing roadmaps by considering the proper leadership style as a contingency issue during lean implementation. Moreover, identifying the effect of contextual variables helps specify the contexts in which lean practices are more likely to be implemented.

Abstract:

Las variables hidrológicas, por un lado, presentan una distribución espacial y temporal importante y por el otro son registradas con equipos de medición de forma puntual. Para su empleo en aplicaciones ingenieriles, en ocasiones es necesario considerar su distribución espacial o el valor medio de la zona de estudio; para ello, es necesario utilizar métodos de interpolación de variables, los cuales permiten realizar dichas distribuciones a partir de datos puntuales. Para realizar la distribución espacial de variables hidrológicas se desarrolló un código de cálculo a través de información en formato ASCII, que incorpora tres métodos de interpolación de variables (polígonos de Thiessen, inverso de la distancia y Kriging ordinario); además, permite calcular la precipitación media de la zona de estudio con información distribuida y puntual; esta última con dos métodos tradicionales (aritmético y polígonos de Thiessen), cuyos resultados pueden ser empleados muy fácilmente como insumos en otros modelos, por ejemplo, en modelos lluvia-escurrimiento. Los métodos de interpolación implementados se aplicaron y evaluaron en un dispositivo físico de laboratorio y en una cuenca hidrológica, a través de la precipitación media obtenida con el método de las isoyetas, mediante correlación cruzada y regresión lineal. Además, se evaluó la sensibilidad de dichos métodos en función del tamaño de celda con que se discretiza el área de estudio y también con el exponente en el método del inverso de la distancia; con el método de Kriging ordinario se emplearon tres modelos de variogramas teóricos (exponencial, Gaussiano y esférico), cuyos parámetros se determinaron mediante regresión no lineal. La comparación de los métodos mediante la precipitación media a partir de datos puntuales favorece al método de los polígonos de Thiessen, en cambio, a partir de la información distribuida, el más adecuado es el método inverso de la distancia. Por otra parte, la evaluación de los métodos de interpolación a través de correlación cruzada es liderada por el método de Kriging ordinario.

Abstract:

Many teachers struggle to deliver interventions with sufficient treatment integrity, perhaps due to implementation variables that mediate or moderate treatment integrity. Potential implementation variables have frequently been conceptualized in ecological frameworks, including the intervention, implementer, organization, and external environmental levels. Although the ecological framework is a useful organizational tool, a measure aligned with this model of implementation variables has not yet been developed. This article describes the development of the Assessment of Ecological Implementation Influences (AEII), a measure to evaluate implementation variables across ecological levels. Exploratory factor analyses were conducted to evaluate to what extent responses on the AEII reflect the hypothesized ecological factor structure. The model of variables from the intervention to external environment level was not reflected within the factor structure here. Rather, factors emerged that were not previously accounted for in the implementation variables literature. Implications for future research on the measurement of treatment integrity and implementation variables are described.

Abstract:

This research intends to analyze and test variables that influence implementation E-government, especially in Balikpapan city. The study uses the information system success model DeLone and McLean which has six main variables that can be used to measure the success rate of information systems. Variables that support the success of e-government that support this research include system quality and information quality as exogenous variables. Furthermore, the use and user satisfaction variables are endogenous variables that also affect the net benefits variable. Based on previous research, service quality variables have not been proven to affect endogenous variables, so the researchers omit these variables. Data collection is done by distributing questionnaires to users of e-government services in Balikpapan City as many as 100 respondents. Data processing methods with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using the Smart PLS 3.0 approach. This research proves the R-square value of the dependent variable user satisfaction is 62%, and the net benefit variable is 59.1%, which means that the dependent variable can be explained through independent variables in this research model. Based on the findings in the study, it shows that the quality of the system has an effect on user satisfaction but has no impact on use.

Abstract:

The essential variables in a finite function f are defined as variables which occur in f and weigh with the values of that function. The number of essential variables is an important measure of complexity for discrete functions. When replacing some variables in a function with constants the resulting functions are called subfunctions, and when replacing all essential variables in a function with constants we obtain an implementation of this function. Such an implementation corresponds with a path in an ordered decision diagram (ODD) of the function which connects the root with a leaf of the diagram. The sets of essential variables in subfunctions of f are called separable in f. In this paper we study several properties of separable sets of variables in functions which directly affect the number of implementations and subfunctions in these functions. We define equivalence relations which classify the functions of k-valued logic into classes with the same number of: (i) implementations; (ii) subfunctions; and (iii) separable sets. These relations induce three transformation groups which are compared with the lattice of all subgroups of restricted affine group (RAG). This allows us to solve several important computational and combinatorial problems.

Abstract:

The present study aims to investigate determinants of training implementation and intention for firms in Lao PDR. In developing countries like Lao PDR in particular, enterprises are increasingly required to be internationally competitive through such efforts as developing human resources to deal with regionalization and globalization. Training is seen as a major way to develop human resources, but it has not yet been implemented intensively enough. Therefore, it is worth investigating the determinants of training in these firms. We utilize data from the Enterprise Survey 2013 by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit and analyze stratified random sample of 658 small and medium enterprises using ordinary least squares (OLS) and logistic regressions. The results are non-uniform among the different dependent variables, such as engagement in vocational training, the existence of training intention for entrepreneurs and employees, and skills variety of training premeditation for employers and employees. For instance, a gender of entrepreneur has a significantly positive effect on training implementation but an insignificant effect on training plan. Education of entrepreneur has an unconvincing effect on training execution but a significantly positive outcome on training will. Some other independent variables show more inconclusive but explainable results (e.g., firm size, competition problems, membership of a business organization, and age of entrepreneur). However, located in Vientiane Capital has a significant effect but firm-age and ethnicity of entrepreneur are insignificant. The results suggest to pay more careful attention to the potential differences among different training-related variables.

Abstract:

Intelligent machining is an advanced method in manufacturing, related to the recent developments in reconfigurable manufacturing equipment. A multilevel modular scheme for implementing integrated process monitoring, diagnosis and control is proposed. A PC-based hardware integrated within an object-based software structure is used to manipulate several machining parameters while performing on-line sensing of machining variables, through sampling and processing by means of digital signal processing (DSP). Indirect measurement of machining parameters, surface finish and tool wear monitoring, through the use of neurofuzzy (NF) sensor fusion modelling, is presented as a part of the integrated approach. A fuzzy relation (FR), indicating the nature of the connection between dependent and independent process-related variables, and acting as a knowledge node within a decision-making scheme, determines intelligently the variations in machining parameters when a performance parameter exceeds the predetermined functional limits. Such capability is utilized on-line. The integrated approach for further improvement in machining quality and overall productivity is described.

Abstract:

Abstract:The most basic question one can ask of a model is ‘What is the effect on variable y2 of variable y1?’ Causation is ‘implementation neutral’ when all interventions on external variables that lead to a given change in y1 have the same effect on y2, so that the effect of y1 on y2 is defined unambiguously. Familiar ideas of causal analysis do not apply when causation is implementation neutral. For example, a cause variable cannot be linked to an effect variable by both a direct path and a distinct indirect path. Discussion of empirical aspects of implementation neutrality leads to further unexpected results, such as that if one variable causes another the coefficient representing that causal link is always identified.

Abstract:

Purpose In the past decade, much has been written about knowledge management (KM) in the manufacturing; however, less attention has been paid to the Indian automobile ancillary industries located in Chinchwad, Pune. It is suitable to find out the relationship of the factors of the study. It helps in identifying the hierarchy of factors to be taken, and interlinking of production department with KM improves the productivity of the industries. Categorization of these principles based on their driving power (principles which hold other principles) and dependence (principles which are dependent on other principles) has also been examined for KM implementation to study the driving power and dependence power of these principles. This paper aims to determine the roadmap of KM implementation and categorize KM principles based on their driving power for manufacturing industries with the use of the interpretive structural modeling (ISM)-based model. The results indicate that the principles possessing higher driving power, such as KM, inventory control, quality control, productivity and scheduling and their interlinking. The major contribution of this research lies in the development of contextual relationship among various identified factors of KM and determination of their driving and dependence power through a single systemic framework. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, author find out the suitability ISM for Indian Automobile industries to find the relation among the variables. Findings ISM model has been developed for the hierarchy of the identified KM. As ISM model results a hypothetical hierarchy which needs a proper quantitative analysis to evaluate their percentage effectiveness in the hierarchy. Research limitations/implications It is applied to automobile industries with limited number of variables that will show the dependence variable and driving variables and their interrelations. It can be applied other fields to fine the relationship of variables. Practical implications The ISM may be used in supply chain management and total quality management to find interlinking between the variables. Originality/value The limited data collected from Pimpri Chinchwad industrial area of Pune from Maharashtra state (India).

Abstract:

The efficient management of water resources by the tourism sector is essential to be able to achieve sustainability in the future. Hotels, together with other tour operators, have a responsibility not to use more water than is absolutely necessary. Through a survey carried out in hotels on the island of Mallorca, we asked hotel managers about their water consumption and what types of water-saving measures they had introduced. We identified eleven water-saving measures, which were classified into “advanced” and “simple” according to the technical complications and the level of economic investment required. The numbers of measures of each kind that had been implemented were used as the dependent variables in two different Ordered Probit models. This method allowed us to identify the main variables that explain the introduction of water-saving measures. The significant main variables leading hotel managers to adopt simple water-saving initiatives are the existence of laundry facilities, the age of the hotel, and the number of stars. The same variables were found to be important for the introduction of advanced measures. The main drivers for introducing water-saving measures were the reduction in costs, followed by environmental concerns, while legal requirements and customer loyalty were found to be the least important drivers.

Abstract:

Public procurement issues have drawn many concerns and became a public debate because the rules and regulations are constantly reformed and restructured. Public procurement contributions in the world economy are very significant. In Indonesia, according to the Ministry of Finance, public procurement spending for 2009 was 33.4 percent of total government spending. This study aims to determine implementation practices of Public Procurement Plans or Rencana Umum Pengadaan (RUP) in Bitung City. The multiple statistical regression equation is used to process data from 47 respondents from regional apparatus task forces (SKPD) and the results show that the influence of independent variables (X) on dependent variable (Y) is 87.3 percent (R2), while 12.7 percent is influenced by other factors. The result of F-test shows 36.231> F- table 3.21. The calculated probability value is 0.000 which is smaller than 0.05. The partial test (t-test) from 9 independent variables (X) identifies 7 variables that have significant effects on the scores of RUP implementation (Y). The overall results of t-test show that the implementation practices of public procurement plans have significant effects of the higher compliance rates on the output of goods and services.

Abstract:

In recent decades, econometric tools for handling instrumental-variable regressions characterized by many instruments have been developed. We introduce a command, mivreg, that implements consistent estimation and testing in linear instrumental-variables regressions with many (possibly weak) instruments. mivreg covers both homoskedastic and heteroskedastic environments, estimators that are both nonrobust and robust to error nonnormality and projection matrix limit, and parameter tests and specification tests both with and without correction for existence of moments. We also run a small simulation experiment using mivreg and illustrate how mivreg works with real data.

Abstract:

Dropout is a recurring problem in psychological treatments, generally, it has been attributed to patient variables, however, these effects are probably due to the therapist’s skills, therefore, since the Motivational Interview is a strategy that seeks to increase treatment adherence, it is necessary to evaluate the skills of the therapists. La deserción es un problema recurrente en los tratamientos psicológicos y generalmente se atribuye a variables de los pacientes, sin embargo, probablemente estos efectos se deban a las habilidades del terapeuta, por lo que, al ser la Entrevista Motivacional una estrategia que busca incrementarla adherencia al tratamiento es necesario evaluar las habilidades de los terapeutas.

Abstract:

Economic progress continues to be greatly influenced by the development and adoption of innovations. Maintaining momentum necessitates understanding factors that influence the choices made by organisations. Diffusion and implementation research have each sought to understand necessary conditions and motivations and to identify obstacles. Whether these two areas of research have the same determinants, overlap, or are separate is controversially affecting the interpretation of current research. This issue is the subject of this paper. The empirical investigation compares variables of the diffusion chronology with the choice decision in implementation. This macro-level analysis reveals that the two areas are connected but there are also substantial differences. The results of this study reconfirm the emerging evidence in the literature that the innovation adoption decision should not be treated as a dichotomous organisational choice. Furthermore, the evidence strongly points to the need to develop integrative theories that include the chronological aspects of the innovation adoption process.

Abstract:

Random forest is an ensemble classification algorithm. It performs well when most predictive variables are noisy and can be used when the number of variables is much larger than the number of observations. The use of bootstrap samples and restricted subsets of attributes makes it more powerful than simple ensembles of trees. The main advantage of a random forest classifier is its explanatory power: it measures variable importance or impact of each factor on a predicted class label. These characteristics make the algorithm ideal for microarray data. It was shown to build models with high accuracy when tested on high-dimensional microarray datasets. Current implementations of random forest in the machine learning and statistics community, however, limit its usability for mining over large datasets, as they require that the entire dataset remains permanently in memory. We propose a new framework, an optimized implementation of a random forest classifier, which addresses specific properties of microarray data, takes computational complexity of a decision tree algorithm into consideration, and shows excellent computing performance while preserving predictive accuracy. The implementation is based on reducing overlapping computations and eliminating dependency on the size of main memory. The implementation's excellent computational performance makes the algorithm useful for interactive data analyses and data mining.

<em>Since the 1970s, Activity-Based Costing (ABC) has enabled companies to identify the true costs of processes and products and to make sound decisions related to the profitability and expense of the products they produce, as well as the effectiveness of their manufacturing and business processes. This paper explores the advantages of activity-based costing vs. traditional costing systems and presents arguments for the potential benefits to the world’s millions of Small to Medium Businesses (SMEs) from implementing ABC. Issues related to the implementation of ABC are discussed. A framework for ABC implementations in SMEs is presented that shows the variables (characteristics of SMEs and implementation challenges) that can impact the ABC implementation process, and/or ultimately, implementation outcomes.</em>

Abstract:

Brazil is the 3rd largest egg producer in the Americas and for production to be achieved, it must be organized to produce with quality and productivity. For all quality requirements to be met, guidance documents such as EMBRAPA and the Brazilian Poultry Union cover all stages of the production process, from the origin of the inputs to the later stages of production. In addition to these instructions, other legislation dealing with traceability is used to regulate production processes in food chains. In this context, the objective of this work is to confront the main national and international standards related to traceability to verify common requirements and that can compose a system of data collection. The work was divided into three stages and presented as a result the common requirements: sanitary management in the breeding and rearing phases, lineage, input control, poultry vaccination, poultry feeding, sanitary monitoring, egg collection information, eggs, and biosafety, product description, batch identification, date of shipment and data of the sending company and data of the company of destination, in addition to the information retrieval system.

Abstract:

A growing body of research has shown a positive role of task-supported instruction in second language (L2) learning (Ellis, 2003a; Loewen, 2015; Van Den Branden, 2006). From a pedagogical perspective, recycling or repeating parts of teaching materials is common practice and theoretical support for such practice is emerging (Bygate and Samuda, 2005). However, determining which aspects to repeat during task-supported interaction that fosters interaction-driven learning opportunities while maintaining student interest is currently underexplored. Further, few studies have considered learners’ perception during task completion. The current study thus examined the effects of task repetition on the production and resolution of language-related episodes (LREs) over time. English-speaking (first language, L1) students of Spanish (second language, L2) from two intact Spanish as a foreign language (FL) classroom ( n = 28) were assigned to one of the following task repetition groups: task with repetition (same task/same content) or task with procedural repetition (same task/new content). Learner–learner interaction produced during two-way decision-making tasks were transcribed and coded for LREs. Learner perception data was collected following task completion and analysed qualitatively. The results indicated that the task repetition had greater benefits on the occurrence and resolution of lexis-based LREs, but that both groups benefited similarly in terms of producing and resolving form-based LREs. Results are discussed in light of speech processing models and pedagogical implications for task-based instruction in FL settings are examined.

Abstract:

In classical CLP(FD) systems, domains of variables are completely known at the beginning of the constraint propagation process. However, in systems interacting with an external environment, acquiring the whole domains of variables before the beginning of constraint propagation may cause waste of computation time, or even obsolescence of the acquired data at the time of use. For such cases, the Interactive Constraint Satisfaction Problem (ICSP) model has been proposed (Cucchiara et al. 1999a) as an extension of the CSP model, to make it possible to start constraint propagation even when domains are not fully known, performing acquisition of domain elements only when necessary, and without the need for restarting the propagation after every acquisition. In this paper, we show how a solver for the two sorted CLP language, defined in previous work (Gavanelli et al. 2005) to express ICSPs, has been implemented in the Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) language, a declarative language particularly suitable for high level implementation of constraint solvers.

Abstract:

Multivariate polynomial interpolation is a key computation in many areas of science and engineering and, in our case, is crucial for the solution of the reverse engineering of genetic networks modeled by finite fields. Faster implementations of such algorithms are needed to cope with the increasing quantity and complexity of genetic data. We present a new algorithm based on Lagrange interpolation for multivariate polynomials that not only identifies redundant variables in the data and generates polynomials containing only nonredundant variables, but also computes exclusively on a reduced data set. Implementation of this algorithm to FPGA led us to identify a systolic array-based architecture useful for performing three interpolation subtasks: Boolean cover, distinctness, and polynomial addition. We present a generalization of these tasks that simplifies their mapping to the systolic array, and control and storage considerations to guarantee correct results for input sequences longer than the array. The subtasks were modeled and implemented to FPGA using the proposed architecture, then used as building blocks to implement the rest of the algorithm. Speedups up to172×and67×were obtained for the subtasks and complete application, respectively, when compared to a software implementation, while achieving moderate resource utilization.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a dynamic model for implementing performance-based budgeting (PBB) in Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) in Iran. Design/methodology/approach The insights from PBB, organizational theory and theory of system were integrated based on system dynamic approach. The primary data were gathered in a two-step process through in-depth interviews and focus groups. The data gathered from the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis and were considered as a basis for modeling based on system dynamic. The dynamic model was verified in the MOHME of Iran based on the data gathered from the focus group. Findings An analytical implementation model was adopted for the PBB, including comprehensive variables at both external (country) and internal (organizational) levels and accordingly the relationships were established among these variables based on system dynamics (SD). In addition, verifying this model in the MOHME of Iran sets the stage for gaining a deeper understanding of what is required for successful implementation of PBB. Originality/value This paper introduces an efficient modeling methodology based on SD, which explains how soft methodology can be used in management science for designing an implementation model of PBB in healthcare sector of Iran.

Abstract:

Abstract. Bivariate wavelet coherency is a measure of correlation between two variables in the location–scale (spatial data) or time–frequency (time series) domain. It is particularly suited to geoscience, where relationships between multiple variables differ with locations (times) and/or scales (frequencies) because of the various processes involved. However, it is well-known that bivariate relationships can be misleading when both variables are dependent on other variables. Partial wavelet coherency (PWC) has been proposed to detect scale-specific and localized bivariate relationships by excluding the effects of other variables but is limited to one excluding variable and provides no phase information. We aim to develop a new PWC method that can deal with multiple excluding variables and provide phase information. Both stationary and non-stationary artificial datasets with the response variable being the sum of five cosine waves at 256 locations are used to test the method. The new method was also applied to a free water evaporation dataset. Our results verified the advantages of the new method in capturing phase information and dealing with multiple excluding variables. Where there is one excluding variable, the new PWC implementation produces higher and more accurate PWC values than the previously published PWC implementation that mistakenly considered bivariate real coherence rather than bivariate complex coherence. We suggest the PWC method is used to untangle scale-specific and localized bivariate relationships after removing the effects of other variables in geosciences. The PWC implementations were coded with Matlab and are freely accessible (https://figshare.com/s/bc97956f43fe5734c784, last access: 14 January 2021).
