Abstract:
The main provisions of the methods for investigating murders related to the dismemberment of a corpse and the methods for investigating murders without a corpse in the context of tactical decision-making in order to disclose and investigate these crimes are considered. The purpose of the article is to determine the features of tactical decision-making in the investigation of pointed murders. While considering the main provisions of the subject of the article, analysis and synthesis methods are used. The main attention is paid to the peculiarities of tactical decision-making at the initial stage of the investigation of these murders. It is indicated that the tactical decision-making is due to factors related to the initial situation of the investigation which require the investigator to take an individual approach to using the available information about the crime. These factors are: 1) the presence of close ties between the victim and the offender; 2) the existence of an application for the disappearance of the victim; 3) a typical explanation for the disappearance of a person; 4) lack of data regarding the place of the murder; 5) lack of data regarding traces of the murder; 6) lack of data regarding the motive for the murder; 7) the absence of a corpse (parts of the corpse) at the initial stage of the investigation. In the methods of investigating murders related to the dismemberment of a corpse, the features of tactical decision-making are influenced by the investigative situation that developed at the initial stage of the investigation. The article discusses four typical investigative situations. Attention is focused on the peculiarities of the tactical decision-making when planning an investigation, in particular, on the suggesting of investigative versions and their checking. Typical versions of the crime event put forward during the investigation of the murder are called. In the methods of investigating murders without a corpse, the features of the tactical decision-making are manifested when conducting separate investigative (search) actions. The absence of a corpse at the initial stage of the investigation leads to significant mental activity, which is aimed at finding traces of the murder, the whereabouts of the corpse and identifying the suspect. Features of the tactical decision-making are shown in such investigative (search) actions as interrogation of persons close to the victim, inspection and search of the place of residence of the victim and his relatives. The negative circumstances that occur in the investigation and can be used in making tactical decisions to expose the suspect are named.

Abstract:
The increased public awareness of the impact of fraudulent activities has put pressure on corporations to practise better corporate behaviour. As a result, their stakeholders demanded that corporations increase the level of transparency that pertains to their corporate behaviour and provide them with sustainable assurance. One of the ways that they can improve the way they conduct business is by ensuring that their investigative audits are of a high quality. In this study, we investigate the factors that influence the quality of investigative audits. In particular, two factors are chosen, namely, auditor competency and digital forensic support. Using a questionnaire survey as the research instrument, the questionnaires were distributed to 150 investigative auditors who worked for the Indonesian Audit Investigative Board (BPK). This study shows that both factors significantly and positively influence investigative audit quality. The findings of this study can help related parties to better understanding the factors that contribute to investigative auditing and, as a consequence, suggest ways to improve the investigative audit quality. For BPK, which has the authority to conduct audits of the management and accountability of state finances, the findings serve as a fundamental insight into sustaining work integrity and professionalism.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to determine the features of constructing schemes for analyzing an investigative situation using the forensic thinking of an investigator. Forensic thinking has a direct impact on the mental activity of the investigator in the process of disclosing and investigating crimes. Today, the pre-trial investigation process depends on the analytical thinking of the investigator and his skill in making well-considered tactical decisions. The investigator must conduct a meaningful study and critical analysis of the investigative situation to achieve the effectiveness of the investigation. The attention is focused on the essence and significance of the analysis of the investigative situation for the formation of forensic versions and the adoption of balanced tactical decisions in the course of planning and organizing a pre-trial investigation. Based on the processes of cognition of reality, algorithms for analyzing the investigative situation were determined. An attempt is made to generalize and substantiate the existing schemes for analyzing the investigative situation, including using the theory of inventive problem solving. The dynamism of the investigative situation necessitated a creative approach to the analysis. For this reason, it is proposed to use the theory of inventive problem solving. The TRIZ method is aimed at obtaining an ideal result that does not contain negative factors. The TRIZ divides the problem into parts to identify the contradiction that blocks the investigation. Such a contradiction lends itself to detailed study or is discarded to improve the options for solving problems in which there are no negative elements. Thus, knowledge of the algorithm for analyzing the investigative situation allows you to optimize the entire process of disclosing and investigating crimes. Today, approaches in this direction are very useful, but have a general character and require specification that will increase the effectiveness of their application.

Abstract:
A nationwide content analysis of television stations showed low levels of investigative journalism quality and quantity. Most stories introduced as “investigative” were not investigative by definition. However, in an accompanying survey, about half of respondents said investigative quality and quantity had recently increased at their stations. Utilizing Shoemaker and Reese’s hierarchical model, organizational and social-institutional variables were used to predict investigative production. Stations in competitive markets and stations owned by publicly traded corporations produced more investigative journalism and were more likely to emphasize investigations. Stations emphasizing profit were less likely to emphasize investigative reporting.

Abstract:
The genre of investigative journalism is a kind of indicator that measures the state of free speech in society. Today, investigative journalism is compared with the highest professional skill. Investigation offers an author’s version of events based on search results, questions, facts. The investigator looks for a theme, collects facts to accuse, but not so much as for the accusation of a particular person, as in the hope to solve a particular social problem. However, the problem of ideological-thematic exegetics of investigating activity in the context of proximity concept is yet little studied. The article aims to investigate the ideological-thematic basis of regional journalistic investigation via a prism of the proximity concept, outlining elements, structure, and factors of efficiency of investigative texts. Contextual analysis, elements of component analysis, methods of intertextual comparison, and conceptual analysis, linguistic modeling contributed to distinguishing and systemic characterizing of the informational dossier tools. In the paper, the exegetics (hermeneutics) of investigation texts in the context of the proximity concept is presented, and the main algorithms for avoiding the inefficiency of this concept in the journalistic investigation are defined. Besides, the main thematic areas of the investigative activities of the Southern Ukraine regional media are analyzed. The findings of the research using our methods of the experimental and practical social triad by applying the themes and ideas of stirring up the journalistic investigations’ readers were used in the paper. The main principle in the activity of a journalist working on the definition of the thematic, problematic, ideological conceptualization of the region, state, and the abroad, is publicity, creating of the appropriate atmosphere, public opinion concerning certain social phenomena. The main thing to focus on is the competence in the subject matter or problem that has become the matter of interest in the investigation. The regional journalistic investigation, unlike other space-and-time research themes, is specific to increase the number of readers, build and effectively represent the modeled reality. Keywords: idea and theme exegetics, investigative text, proximity, experimental and practical social triad, readers’ stirring up.

Abstract:
State financial losses are an important issue to study. Corruption in Indonesia is a major problem so far it has never been resolved, starting from the central government to the regions. This has had a bad effect on the Indonesian economy. In practice, the Investigating Prosecutor at the Denpasar District Attorney often conducts investigations in the framework of calculating state financial losses. This study aims to determine the legality of the results of investigative audits issued by the Financial Supervisory Agency as evidence in proving state financial losses in corruption cases and to determine the factors that influence the Investigative Prosecutor to more frequently ask Financial Supervisory Agency for assistance to conduct investigative audits. The research method used is empirical legal research with a qualitative approach and a descriptive approach. The data sources are primary data obtained directly from the Denpasar District Attorney with interview techniques and secondary data from legal theories. The results show that the results of the investigative audit conducted by the Financial Supervisory Agency can be used as evidence at trial because their validity meets the elements contained in Article 184 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the tendency of the Investigative Prosecutor at the Denpasar District Attorney to conduct an investigative audit of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency efficiency and effectiveness policy factors as well as human resource factors.

Abstract:
The factors influencing the state policy in the field of operational-search activity have been studied. The author has noted that the reforms taking place in the law enforcement area have laid a new approach to combating crime, as the traditional perception of crime and combating it is changing. Combating crime requires, first of all, modern, perfect regulatory support. And first of all it concerns the sphere of operative-search activity as a priority direction of counteraction to crime. In this regard, the priority area of research is public policy, which takes place in the field of op-erational and investigative activities. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to identify the factors that influence the state policy in the field of operational and investigative activities and highlight the directions of formation of this policy. It is emphasized that this list is not exhaustive and can be supplemented, which, in turn, further determines the need for further in-depth scientific research in this area. Factors influencing the state policy in the field of operational and investigative activities should be taken into account when forming a single Concept of legal policy, which would reflect a holistic system of leading official views on its essence and content, would determine the priorities for further development. The development of the Concept of the state policy in the field of operative-investigative activity will make it possible to ensure the adoption of a system of laws that provide a complex, logically consistent legal regulation of certain phenomena of public life.

Abstract:
This study assesses the practice of investigative reporting within development journalism in Amhara radio. The study used quantitative and qualitative content analysis. Data was mainly collected through document analysis and semi-structured interviews. 1326 pieces of news were selected for content analysis by using multi-stage sampling, and 13 reporters, editors, and media managers were selected for interviews by using multi-stage sampling and purposive sampling. The finding shows that Amhara radio tries to reconcile investigative reporting within development journalism by maximizing the number of news stories that engage in investigative reporting. As per the findings, 28.4% of the news stories were devoted to investigating and criticizing the wrongdoings of the government; this is by far higher than the previous four years’ average of 1.9%. However, the media didn’t touch on the fundamental structural problems of the government in its investigative reporting, and there was also a lack of in-depth investigation into issues. The main factors that trigger the medium to engage in investigative reporting are media managers’ and regional government’s commitment, social media pressure, and the public protest movement against the government. Generally, with different challenges, Amhara Radio is striving to change history and become a model for other state-owned media in the country.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTAn in-depth understanding of human factors and human error is lacking in current research on seniors' falls. Additional knowledge is needed to understand why seniors are falling. The purpose of this article is to describe the adapting of the Integrated Safety Investigation Methodology (ISIM) (used for investigating transportation and industrial accidents) to studying seniors' falls. An adapted version—the Seniors Falls Investigative Methodology (SFIM)—uses a systems approach to take an investigation beyond the immediate cause of an incident and reveal unsafe acts and deeply imbedded unsafe conditions that contribute to adverse outcomes. An example case study is used to describe six phases of the investigative process in detail. The SFIM has the potential to identify safety deficiencies; utilize existing knowledge about falls; establish a standardized reporting system; shift focus from the faller to the system; and guide targeted prevention.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships and differences among the dependent variable of the intent to pursue a career in teaching and the independent variables of opportunities for career advancement, the perceived image of the teaching profession, financial resources available for initial teacher training, expected salary, incentives and benefits, ability to motivate, student discipline problems, and teacher competency tests. Participants in this study (N=150) included high school students who attend different Georgia public schools, and college students who were within their first three years of study in Atlanta University Center schools. Data were secured using the Teaching Interest Survey, developed by the researcher. The design used for this research was nonparametric statistics which included the use of descriptive statistics and Chi Square Contingency. The 0.05 level of significance was used to test the null hypothesis. The major findings for this study were: (a) no significant relationship exists between the intent to pursue a career in teaching and the perceptions of the following: opportunities to advance, image of the teaching profession, expected salary, incentives and fringe benefits, ability to motivate students to learn, discipline problems, and teacher competency tests; (b) a significant relationship was found to exist between the intent to pursue a teaching career and available financial resources for initial training; (c) perceptions of the professional image of teaching were influenced by home town size; (d) the higher the level of education, the more positive the perception of teaching; and (e) perception of teaching as a profession is positively influenced when one has a favorite teacher. The following recommendations were made: (a) early recruitment/intervention programs for young Black students should be incorporated in schools; (b) organizations should be reactivated or created for teacher recruitment; (c) additional resources for initial teacher training should be made available; (d) teachers and organizations should lobby legislators for salary increases; (e) partnerships should be created between school systems and colleges; and (f) a parent volunteer program should be incorporated in schools.

Abstract:
Agriculture is not only a country’s backbone of food, livelihood and ecological security systems, but is also the very soul of its sovereignty. In Kerala population density is high and land is scarce. To achieve sustainable advancement in quality of human life, meeting the domestic food requirement is to be given foremost priority in development plans. As the area of cultivation cannot be increased and growth of population cannot be controlled growth in food production is to be achieved by qualitative improvement in farming. This requires improvements in material inputs, farming techniques, storage technology and research. Effective integration of these factors is tied closely to adequate information flow, which can be ensured only by an efficient information system for agricultural education, research, extension and development. So evaluation and improvement of existing information services is very crucial for sustainable agricultural growth. The study evaluates the existing information resources, facilities, services, possibilities for resource sharing, accessibility of external sources, and the factors that affect the quality and efficiency of information services in agricultural sector. Coverage is limited to the State of Kerala. Sample consist 105 institutions of different levels, and information users consisting of 426 scientists and 220 farmers. Different sets of questionnaires and interview schedule were used to elicit information. The study found that agricultural research conducted at various institutions in the region at huge public expense has generated knowledge for improving production. Along with these huge collections of acquired content is also stored in the sector. But when a farmer, an extension worker, a scientist or an administrator needs information it is not easily accessible. The study found that agricultural sector fails to effectively bank on information resources available due to the lack of an information system and network. Recommends an Agricultural and Farm Information System for Kerala. Suggests a model plan for a computer communication network for resource sharing between the agricultural institutions in the State, which will also ensure, smooth flow of results of research down to the grassroots level to achieve maximum productivity in agriculture.

Full text
Abstract:
Social science research shows that many maltreated children suffer adverse psychological consequences, but less evidence exists to identify which children may be more or less at risk for such effects. In addition, some negative effects may be compounded when abused children interact with the criminal justice system. While public policies and procedures have been modified to address these issues (e.g., courtroom accommodations), little research has assessed which children would benefit most from them. To fill these needs, the present study: (a) tested the concurrent criterion validity of a new clinical-forensic assessment tool, the Videotaped Interview Trauma Assessment List (VITAL), a behavioral observation instrument that, when fully validated, can be used with other methods to assess emotional distress, risk/protective factors, and need for courtroom accommodations in allegedly abused children, and (b) assessed how risk and protective factors affected allegedly abused children's emotions and behaviors during actual investigative interviews. The results from the present study lend support to the concurrent criterion validity of the VITAL, because it functionally measured the children's existing emotional state and assessed the impact of interviewers' questions/statements on children's emotions/behaviors. Results were consistent with prior research on investigative interviewing and risk/protective factors. Specifically, the investigative interviews were generally an uncomfortable experience for the children; however, the presence of one or more sources of social support resulted in statistically significantly lower internalizing ratings (i.e., sadness, anxiety, embarrassment, withdrawal). Similarly, non-offending parental support tended to result in lower internalizing and depression ratings. While ratings of children's internalizing or externalizing emotions/behaviors were not affected by the majority of risk factors proposed in prior research (i.e., higher frequency of abuse, threat or use of force, closer relationship between the alleged abuser and the child, higher degree of intrusiveness of sexual abuse, less time in rapport, and family dysfunction), some trends were indicated (e.g., longest duration of alleged abuse tended to result in the most externalizing behavior, higher number of investigative interviews tended to result in higher internalizing and lower positive ratings). Future validity research on the VITAL is recommended because behavioral instruments are virtually absent in psycho-legal child maltreatment research and practice.

Abstract:
This study examines the relationship between organizational factors (Culture, Structure, Strategy and Technology) and Knowledge Management Effectiveness (KME) in Abu Dhabi public organizations. The literature indicates that these factors are widely used to explore KME in construction organizations, but little analysis has been undertaken for UAE public construction companies. The government of Abu Dhabi regulates eight different construction organizations. This study obtained 414 samples from the considered organizations. An empirical research with quantitative methods was undertaken. First, a comprehensive literature reviewed enabled the derivation of three hypotheses, which were then verified through a quantitative survey of the eight organizations. A questionnaire was administered to 414 active department managers, supervisors and employees of Abu Dhabi public organizations whose job description indicated responsibility for KME implementation. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to evaluate the organizational factors and KME of the considered organizations. Ordered logistic regression was used to assess the influence of the organizational factors on KME, and factor analysis was used for the extraction of the significant dimensions of these factors. Ordered logistic regression was used to explore the relationships between the significant dimensions found in these factors and KME. It was discovered that there is significant relationship between organizational factors and KME, but only a few dimensions have significant impacts. Therefore, a model was subsequently developed for the improvement of KME in Abu Dhabi public organizations consisting of significant areas and dimensions of factors impacting on KME, which was developed in a group discussion conducted with senior and middle management leaders from the considered organizations, who were responsible for implementing knowledge management. This model was then validated in Abu Dhabi public organizations and the results indicate the areas and factors of Abu Dhabi public organizations' knowledge management leaders that need to be strengthened to improve KME performance.

Abstract:
The primary goal of this two-phased, sequential mixed-methods study was to discover whether union affiliation is associated with a lower occurrence of burnout in factory workers by comparing union and nonunion workers. The objective was to determine levels of burnout in union and nonunion employees as well their perception of social support in the workplace. The theoretical synthesis consisted of conservation of resources theory and the theory of reasoned action. The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) and the Quality of Worklife Questionnaire were used to identify the characteristics of the workplace (job demands and job resources) and the level of burnout. Quantitative results confirmed the presence of burnout in both sample populations. Regression results for union participants identified both poor management and increased in job demands as significant predictors of burnout. Conversely, regression results for nonunion participants pointed to poor management only as a significant predictor of burnout. Qualitative descriptive and explanatory thematic results provided additional contextual support for the quantitative findings - specifically, that both union and nonunion participants identified management as a primary concern. In addition, union participants also identified manpower and support as primary concerns in the work environment. The findings point to the negative consequences of burnout for the employer and employee and to areas of concern that need to be addressed in the employment setting. Implications for positive social change include the development of programs to minimize the development of burnout and increase an employee's organizational commitment.

Thesis (MBA) -- Stellenbosch University, 2013.
Resources are the heartbeat of an institution. Without adequate resources, an institution will fail to implement its mandate and will also face problems as a going concern that could eventually lead to its collapse, thereby failing the hopes and aspirations of the people it claims to serve. An institution must develop a conscious effort to mobilise its resources by including this aspect in its business strategy and prioritising it. Ntinga O.R. Tambo Development Agency has been established to implement the LED strategy of the O.R. Tambo District Municipality. As a municipal entity this Development Agency is prohibited from trading to realise additional funding and depends solely on grants from the District Municipality, which are on the decline. Registering the entity as a state-owned company (SOC) would allow it to trade to generate revenue and be eligible to collaborate with investors in developing self-sustaining communities. Improving the socio-economic status of any community requires the development of capital infrastructure. Sustainable community development can only be achieved if proper processes are in place to facilitate an all-inclusive community participation process that allows the communities to decide on programmes that will improve their livelihoods and also take their cultural beliefs into consideration. Communities must be empowered to take decisions that affect their future and they must be consulted at the project initiation stage through to its implementation and finalisation. The community programmes that are implemented must be informed by community needs assessments that are properly undertaken and will utilise community resources to meet unmet needs. Successful community programmes are those that are embraced by the communities. Performance monitoring systems are important to assess the attainment of set objectives so that the programme’s impact on the socio-economic status of the communities can be evaluated. Management is responsible for mobilising resources. However, successful resource mobilisation requires the involvement of the board of directors and the establishment of a resource mobilisation advisory council, with its members being well connected. A lean resource mobilisation structure should be maintained and populated when the need arises. Good governance and clean audit reports are catalysts for successful resource mobilisation and all governance structures must be in place to ensure that fraud and theft are limited. Continuous risk assessments are critical in curbing fraud and theft. Relationship management with funders is important. It entails the development of trust and respect. Some funders will invest in a programme based on the common values they share with the organisation. The organisational culture must visibly display the shared values that are lived by all of the organisation’s employees. Resource mobilisation efforts should not rely solely on one income stream, but should be a combination of a number of efforts, from strategic partnerships in the form of public-private partnerships, to property management. An institution must be creative and innovative in adapting its operations in an environment that is ever-changing especially its agility in responding to constant changes in funding institutions’ requirements. Non-compliance with donor funding requirements and investor funding conditions is a barrier to resource mobilisation efforts. Lack of properly qualified personnel to manage investor and donor funding, which could lead to mismanagement of funds, erodes investor confidence in an institution.

Mruk, Karen. "Small Molecule Investigation of KCNQ Potassium Channels: A Dissertation." eScholarship@UMMS, 2012. https://escholarship.umassmed.edu/gsbs_diss/621.

Full text
Abstract:
Voltage-gated K+ channels associate with multiple regulatory proteins to form complexes with diverse gating properties and pharmacological sensitivities. Small molecules which activate or inhibit channel function are valuable tools for dissecting the assembly and function of these macromolecular complexes. My thesis focuses on the discovery and use of small molecules to probe the structure and function of the KCNQ family of voltage-gated K+ channels. One protein that obligatorily assembles with KCNQ channels to mediate proper assembly, trafficking, and gating is the calcium sensor, calmodulin. Although resolution of the crystal structures of calmodulin associated with isolated peptide fragments from other ion channels has provided some insight into how calmodulin interacts with and modulates KCNQ channels, structural information for calmodulin bound to a fully folded ion channel in the membrane is unknown. In Chapter II, I developed an intracellular tethered blocker approach to determine the location of calmodulin binding with respect to the KCNQ ion-conducting pathway. Using distance restraints from a panel of these intracellular tethered blockers we then generated models of the KCNQ-calmodulin complex. Our model places calmodulin close to the gate of KCNQ channels, providing structural insight into how CaM is able to communicate changes in intracellular calcium levels to KCNQ channel complexes. In addition to pore blockers, chemical modification of ion channels has been used to probe ion channel function. During my initial attempt to chemically activate KCNQ channels, I discovered that some boronates modulate KCNQ complexes. In Chapter III, the activating derivative, phenylboronic acid, is characterized. Characterization of activation by phenylboronic acid showed that it targeted the ion conduction pathway of KCNQ channels with some specificity over other voltage-gated K+ channels. The commercial availability of thousands of boronic acid derivatives provides a large class of compounds with which to systematically dissect the mechanisms of KCNQ gating and may lead to the discovery of a potent activator of KCNQ complexes for the treatment of channelopathies. All of the electrophysiological studies presented in this thesis were conducted in Xenopus oocytes. Unexpectedly, during the studies described above, the quality of our Xenopus oocytes declined. The afflicted oocytes developed black foci on their membranes, had negligible electric resting potentials, and poor viability. Culturing the compromised oocytes determined that they were infected with multi-drug resistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas putida. Antibiotic testing showed that all three species of bacteria were susceptible to amikacin and ciprofloxacin, which when included in the oocyte storage media prevented the appearance of black foci and resulted in oocytes that were usable for electrophysiological recordings. This study provides a solution to a common issue that plagues many electrophysiologists who use Xenopus oocytes. Taken together, these findings provide new insights into activation of KCNQ channel complexes and provide new tools to study the structure-function relationship of voltage-gated K+ channels.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter develops and discusses Bayes factors for investigative purposes, i.e. situations in which no potential source is available for comparison purposes. A typical example for this is the problem of classifying items or individuals into one of several classes or populations on the basis of available data (e.g., measurements of one or more attributes). More specifically, material of interest is analyzed (e.g., the quantity of cocaine present on banknotes) and results are evaluated in terms of their effect on the odds in favor of a proposition according to which the recovered material originates from a given population (e.g., banknotes in general circulation), compared to an alternative proposition according to which the recovered items originate from another population (e.g., banknotes related to drug trafficking). The problem of discrimination between populations is addressed for various types of discrete and continuous data, respectively, including an extension to continuous multivariate data. The examples developed in this chapter involve classification for two or more populations. The assessment of model performance is addressed as well.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic was the largest disruption to education systems in the world. Universities faced vulnerabilities such as low levels of digitization, deficits in their structures, low levels of digital literacy, and lack of financial resources. The students faced problems because they had low digital skills, less internet access and inadequate computers for a good virtual education. But the COVID-19 pandemic had another side. On the one hand, it meant the possibility of stimulating innovation in education. And on the other hand, it transformed several of the contexts for the implementation of the curriculum, so that various learning and skills became more relevant. In the present investigative work, the objective is to make visible the case of the Indoamerican University of Ecuador, which has a student population of 9,000 students and about 400 professors. The different actors were open to learning about educational technological tools, which helped to deal with complexity and uncertainty. In the present investigation it is established that the training in virtual education and the elaboration of digital material, the change of new educational platforms, the generation of MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses), the radio programs and the production of academic ebooks, constituted educational innovations that supported the educational processes. at that university.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Human and Organizational Factors (HOF) as a discipline applies tools, theory, principles, data and methods to optimize human, organizational, and overall system performance. To date, there has been relatively little guidance available to pipeline operating companies regarding the integration of HOF within and across organizational management systems, pipeline protection programs, and operational activities. CSA Group Express Document EXP16 (EXP16) entitled Human and organizational factors for optimal pipeline performance is intended to address this deficiency. It builds upon a previously published express document, which was more limited in scope: CSA EXP248 Pipeline Human Factors. EXP16 is intended to offer practical guidance regarding the management of Performance Influencing Factors (PIFs) and provide greater content dedicated to organizational factors such as leadership, governance, management system effectiveness, and safety culture. EXP16 has been prepared and reviewed by the CSA Group’s Development Committee on Human and Organizational Factors for Optimal Pipeline Performance. The committee was comprised of representatives from pipeline companies, consulting firms, regulatory agencies, investigative bodies, and HOF subject matter experts from various technical fields (e.g., nuclear). The goal of the document was to marry the introduction of key concepts with practical guidance and best practices that a pipeline company may apply to support enhanced performance, including the prevention of harm to people, property, and the environment caused by a major hazard accident (e.g., unintended product release, spill, explosion, fire). This paper will review the content and application of EXP16. It will discuss seven key HOF principles and introduce several relevant PIFs associated with People, Organization, and Task, Technology, and Workplace. The impact and management of PIFs throughout the pipeline life cycle will be explored. This paper will also present the key concept of “the learning organization” and how this outcome may be facilitated through both the proactive and reactive application of HOFs.

Abstract:
Abstract Improvement of business processes, increasing customer satisfaction, and reducing organizational costs are important issues that institutions deal with. In this context, six sigma methodology has been considered as a systematic approach to achieve these goals by many organizations. In recent years, non-industrial sectors, where human data are involved, have also applied this technique to improve their processes quality. For application of six sigma procedure for non-industrial issues, there are several challenges that are not encountered in the conventional implementation of Six Sigma procedure. Most of these challenges are experienced on gathering the human (operators, experts) expressed data required for the six sigma projects on the phase of measurement and analysis. The challenges identification and analysis give the ability to address them and provide practical solutions. In this study, in addition to different stages of the Six Sigma methodology, its implementation has been investigated in the non-industrial sector in the DMAIC phases. The challenges dealt with in this research include the impact of external factors on human data, limitations in the design of experiments for human data, qualitative data and discrete data as well as one-sided data. Also, considering a case study on the implementation of six sigma methodology to enhance customer satisfaction in an East Azerbaijan Gas company, strategies are presented for overcoming these obstacles.

Abstract:
Today’s development-processes are mainly driven by three factors: time, quality and costs. High quality products need to be brought to the market in as little time as possible with competitive low costs. In addition to this, development processes need more flexibility and creativity in order to meet fast changing market requirements. With these factors competing, ways need to be found for an optimal process of developing products [1]. In this contribution the theoretical background of a tool that enables an internal process benchmark is introduced. This tool will be implemented at an international automotive supplier company in order to show potential for process improvement. The internal benchmark enables the identification of best practice processes that help to shorten time to market. The tool uses objective PDM-data to analyse processes instead of the often used interviews or observations, which are a more subjective source for process data. Main points of investigation in the analysis tool are CAD-drawings, change-requests, notify-and responsibility-lists. For example the time it takes from the generation of a drawing to its release for production is analysed; another example is the number of drawings generated per person. The analysis can be carried out concerning different locations, different customers or different departments and thus enables a company-wide benchmark of the workflow implemented in the PDM-system. All results are visualised by charts, which have to be interpreted in order to be used for the identification of best practice processes. To support the interpretation of the development-process-analysis and to draw conclusions for corrective or investigative actions, a portfolio is generated. This portfolio provides information about optimal values of the process performance figures and gives hints to why low or high values (e.g. in the number of drawings generated per department) can occur.

Full text
Abstract:
Near-neutral stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is an operational integrity problem experienced by pipeline transporation companies since the 1970’s. Current in-line inspection (ILI) technology allows for the detection of SCC in pipelines using ultrasonic measurement. However, these tools have size limitations (not available for small diameter pipelines) and can only accurately detect cracks above a certain threshold dimension. Predictive modeling of SCC has been used when direct detection was not feasible. To date, predictive models have focused mainly on establishing quantitative relationships between environmental factors and SCC formation or growth. In general, models used to predict SCC growth have been more successful than models used to predict the location of SCC formation. A model to predict locations of SCC formation has been developed, in conjunction with a pipeline operator, by statistically analyzing data related to locations where SCC was either found or not found during investigative digs on a particular pipeline. Data acquired at the investigative dig sites (such as soil conditions, drainage patterns and local geography) was incorporated into the analysis. In addition, data acquired for the entire length of the pipeline (such as geometry, metal loss features, close-interval cathodic protection readings and operating pressures) was combined with the dig site data in the analysis process. The combined data set was analyzed using statistical regression techniques and various multi-variable logistic regression models were created. Misclassification analysis and regression tress were used to determine the most accurate model for application to the pipeline. The model was then applied to the pipeline to determine probabilities of SCC at specified increments along its length (approximately every 20 metres). Ten locations with high SCC probabilities were selected for verification excavation. In addition, one site with a lower SCC probability was chosen for excavation. Of the ten high-probability locations, SCC was discovered at seven sites. At the lower probability site, SCC was not discovered. The combined success rate of themodel was 73%, a significant improvement over predictive models previously applied to the pipeline. Additional investigative digs are planned to further test the model and to compare its predictions to SCC detected by a recently developed ultrasonic ILI tool. By examining the occurrence of SCC using statistical methods, the ability to make an unbiased prediction of the probability of SCC along a pipeline of interest has been achieved. The pipeline operator has gained an increased ability to assess the likelihood of SCC along its pipeline, showing due diligence in mitigating the risks associated with this pipeline integrity concern.

Abstract:
When worked in field traction operation, the productivity index of the tractor unit is mainly reflected by the traction performance. Through analyzing the influence factors of the maximum productivity and the traction characteristics of tractor when equipped with automatic power-shift transmission, it is determined that the improvement of traction power of tractor is the fundamental measure to obtain the maximum productivity. Based on the principle, the dynamic gearshift rule and its control strategy are presented, which takes the throttle opening and engine speed as control parameters. Taking YTO LA2004 wheeled tractor as investigative subject, the simulation analysis of heavy load working condition such as ploughing was carried out. The results show that the maximum productivity shift rule can be used to shift the transmission gear with the change of traction load, which ensure that the engine works at speed governing line near the maximum power point, it can improve the traction power and traction efficiency of tractor. And when the load is small fluctuations, it doesn’t affect the change of gear, which can avoid the repeat gearshift phenomenon. The research provided a theoretical basis for the development of automatic transmission control system of tractor.

Abstract:
The need to enhance food security while reducing poverty along with the growing threat imposed by climate change clearly reveal that it is imperative to accelerate agricultural productivity growth. This paper estimates micro-level production models to identify the major factors that have contributed to productivity growth in El Salvador, including irrigation, purchased inputs, mechanization, technical assistance, and farm size, among others. The econometric framework adopted in this investigation is grounded on recent panel data stochastic production frontier methodologies. The results obtained from the estimation of these models are used to calculate Total Factor Productivity (TFP) change and to decompose such change into different factors, including technological progress, technical efficiency (TE), and economies of scale. The findings imply that efforts are needed to improve productivity in both technological progress and technical efficiency where the latter is a measurement of managerial performance. This in turn indicates that resources should be devoted to promoting the adoption and diffusion of improved technologies while enhancing managerial capabilities through agricultural extension.
