Zhang, Zhao. "Learning Path Recommendation : A Sequential Decision Process." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université de Lorraine, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022LORR0108.
Over the past couple of decades, there has been an increasing adoption of Internet technology in the e-learning domain, associated with the availability of an increasing number of educational resources. Effective systems are thus needed to help learners to find useful and adequate resources, among which recommender systems play an important role. In particular, learning path recommender systems, that recommend sequences of educational resources, are highly valuable to improve learners' learning experiences. Under this context, this PhD Thesis focuses on the field of learning path recommender systems and the associated offline evaluation of these systems. This PhD Thesis views the learning path recommendation task as a sequential decision problem and considers the partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) as an adequate approach. In the field of education, the learners' memory strength is a very important factor and several models of learners' memory strength have been proposed in the literature and used to promote review in recommendations. However, little work has been conducted for POMDP-based recommendations, and the models proposed are complex and data-intensive. This PhD Thesis proposes POMDP-based recommendation models that manage learners' memory strength, while limiting the increase in complexity and data required. Under the premise that recommending learners useful and effective learning paths is becoming more and more popular, the evaluation of the effectiveness these recommended learning paths is still a challenging task, that is not often addressed in the literature. Online evaluation is highly popular but it relies on the path recommendations to actual learners, which may have dramatic implications if the recommendations are not accurate. Offline evaluation relies on static datasets of learners' learning activities and simulates learning paths recommendations. Although easier to run, it is difficult to accurately evaluate the effectiveness of a learning path recommendation. This tends to justify the lack of literature on this topic. To tackle this issue, this PhD Thesis also proposes offline evaluation measures, that are designed to be simple to be used in most of the application cases. The recommendation models and evaluation measures the we propose are evaluated on two real learning datasets. The experiments confirm that the recommendation models proposed outperform the models from the literature, with a limited increase in complexity, including for a medium-size dataset

Title Business-to-Business IT Integration
Introduction
As business world has moved into digital era, new trends in business models have been emerged to do business. Digital infrastructure provided by internet enables enterprises to extend their boundaries for new customer and trading partners. Extending the enterprise without a solid IT infrastructure is incomplete, this is the reasons that enterprises are investing more and more in IT to build an IT integrated infrastructure where all its trading partners are linked together. On the other hand, technological world provides solutions and services to build IT integration for such extended enterprises. A wide variety of IT integration solutions and patterns available for enterprise to meet their integration goals, but this often brings unclear situation where companies have to think a lot before implementing IT integration patterns. A slight mistake in this scenario could shake the equilibrium between IT and business, to keep the equilibrium steady companies need to thoroughly examine their short-term and long-term goals and then different integration patterns can be employed to meet these goals.
Research Question
What approaches can be helpful for companies to accomplish successful business-to-business IT integration pattern for their short-term and long-term goals?
Purpose
The purpose of this thesis is to describe the concept of extended enterprises and, identify and describe the existing B2B IT integration approaches employed by extended enterprises.
Method
The research is of qualitative type and secondary data is used to conduct this research. Books and research papers has been used to construct theoretical framework. Electronic databases available at library of Mälardalen University such as Google scholar, Emerald and interlibrary network of Sweden (Libris) are used to search for secondary data.
Analysis Findings from the detailed literature study are analyzed to answer the research question. Integration patterns are analyzed described by the different authors of integrations patterns in three different ways. Firstly, integration patterns were analyzed in term of their advantages and disadvantages with technology and business, secondly, maturity of these integration patterns are analyzed and finally these integration patterns are analyzed for company’s short-term and long-term goals.
Conclusion Business process oriented and method-oriented approaches are good for long-term goals due to handling of business process management in both approaches and reusability aspects of method oriented approach. For short-term goals portal-oriented approach dominating in the integration community, application interface oriented approach is also good to meet the short-term goals. However, combinations of different approaches are found feasible.

Title: Performance measures and employee engagement: A case study about the connection between employees attitude toward customer satisfaction measures and long-term goals and strategies. Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Sanna Almqvist and Pernilla Wiberg Supervisor: Tomas Källquist Date: 2018 – january Aim: The background to this study is based on previous research highlighting different aspects of the benefit of performance measurement from a leader or company perspective. But they request more research on how employees attitude to performance measurements leads to engagement. Our aim is thus to increase understanding of how employees' attitude towards performance measurements within customer satisfaction engages them in their daily work to strive towards long-term goals and strategies. Method: This study is influenced by a hermeneutic and social constructionist perspective. The empirical data has been collected through qualitative semistructured interviews. The interviews were covered by topics that were found in theoretical framework based on previous research on the subject. Through an abductive research method, empirical data and the theoretical frame of reference have been analyzed in interaction and influenced each other in order to answer the aim of the study. Conclusions: The conclusion of the study is that a positive attitude toward measurements within customer satisfaction, engage employees in everyday work. The study also points to that different involvement of employees leads to the pursuit of different kinds of goals. Contribution of the thesis: This study, from a theoretical point of view, contributes to illustrating employees' attitude to customer satisfaction measurements, as well as their perspective on linking performance measurement with long-term goals and strategies. Furthermore, previous research in employee engagement is also confirmed. Suggestions for future research: The study reveals that it would be interesting for further research to illustrate similarities and differences within the two different traces of customer satisfaction measurements found in this study, indirect and direct measurements of customer satisfaction.

"Individualized Treatment Goals for Optimal Long-Term Health Outcomes among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus." Tulane University, 2017.
Study aim: This study aimed to assess the individualized treatment goals (A1C, Blood Pressure, LDL-C) for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which lead to optimal health outcomes by different treatment strategies. Background and significance: The evidences in medical guidelines came from clinical trials with highly selected patients, whereas the treatment goals may differ in some subgroups. Additionally, considerable confusions on treatment target has resulted from recent changes in guidelines. So, there is a critical need to examine heterogeneity in optimal goals that lead to the most efficacious treatment options. Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted for veterans with T2DM by using US Veterans Affairs (VA) Administrative Database (Jan 2005 and Dec 2015). Longitudinal medical records were prepared for each 6-month cycle and multivariate longitudinal regression was used to estimate the risk of microvascular and macrovascular complication events and mortality. Second-degree polynomial and splines were applied in the model to identify the optimal goals in their associations with lowest risk of clinical outcomes by controlling the demographic characteristics, medical history, and medications. Results: 124,651 patients with T2DM were selected, with 62.68 years old (SD=10.96) and 6.72 (SD=6.68) follow-up years at average. In general population, A1C=6.06, LDL-C=106.10 and BP=137.90/98.00 were associated with lowest mortality risk. As of achieving lowest risk of microvascular and macrovascular complication, the optimal goals were A1C=6.81, LDL-C=109.10; and A1C=6.76, LDL-C=111.65, SBP=130.60 respectively. The optimal goals differed between age and racial subgroups. Lower SBP for younger patients and lower LDL-C for blacks were identified with better health outcomes. Conclusions: Individualized treatment goals were identified and multi-faceted treatment strategies targeting hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia may improve health outcome in veterans with T2DM. In addition to general ADA recommended goals, health system may examine their own large, more diverse patients with T2DM for better quality of care.

The Long-Term Care 2.0 Policy is a typical “Bottom-up” policy implementation approach, giving local governments autonomy to implement policy with flexible strategies. However, when local governments have different implementation types, we often overlook “why” the implementation types between these organizations are different. More specifically, is there a deeper cause that is worthy of further exploration? In addition, when local governments have different types in policy implementation, how could the policy effectiveness be evaluated? The bottom-up approach of policy implementation theory argued that the autonomy and discretion of local executives and street-level bureaucracy will affect the outcome of policy, but it cannot further explain the rationale of the implementation that local executives choose. Therefore, this study aims to answer the following research questions through the perspective of institutional logics: (1) What is the rationale of the central government when setting the goals of the Long-Term Care 2.0 policy? When local governments face different subjective and objective factors, how do they interpret these goals? (2) When both the central and local governments have different considerations on the Long-Term Care 2.0 policy, what is the difference in terms of goal preferences between them? How do local governments decide to choose the implement type? (3) When there are different implementation types for local governments, what is the extent to which their choices are implemented in line with the central policy objectives? How should the effectiveness of policy objectives to be evaluated? In order to answer the research questions, first, this study used data visualization technique to combine the aging-related statistics from government statistics with the map information, and presented in the form of heatmaps, trend-line and geographic maps. The purpose is to compare the different implementation types of local governments, and explore their strategies and ideas. Secondly, this study also used the central government and six selected local governments as research objects, 18 interviewees were interviewed. In order to clarify the institutional logics between the central and local governments in the Long-Term Care 2.0 policy, the interview texts obtained in the in-depth interviews were also supplemented by the static data collecting by documentary analysis. Based upon the data above, the six selected local governments are categorized as policy pioneers and policy followers. This study finds that the underlying causes that influence the choice of implement types of local governments are mainly driven by their own goal preferences. This finding is also different from the previous literatures indicate that institutional logic is the fundamental cause of organizational actions. More specifically, the policy followers do not have obvious goal preferences, therefore, they are dominated by the "Policy-requirement" logic, and only act according to the central policy norms. In contrast, the policy pioneers themselves have their goal preferences and beliefs, therefore, when reaching the basic goals required by the central government, they will further move toward the “Leading-innovation” logic driven by their own goal preferences. Although the goal preferences between the central government and policy pioneers are different, the incongruence of these goal preferences can also be calibrated. On the other hand, in order to achieve their own target preferences and central policy requirements, policy pioneers and policy followers must develop reconciliation strategy in response to the conflict between social-welfare and health system. The results of the study show that most of local governments still use the “reining” as the main strategy for reconciling conflicts, however, whether these methods can exert their substantive effects remains to be further observed in the future.

A non eligible transplant patient on long term ventricular assist device (VAD) support in intensive care unit (ICU), can evolve in multiple ways. Alot of health care professionnals live a malaise when the patient surves with complications without neither possibility of cardiaque transplantation nor return home. In consequence, defferent goals of care are pursued in the health care team. This is why, the researcher maintained all along the study, the objectives to understand the goals pursued by the health care professionnals working towards the particular patient, to clarify the factors influensing these pursued goals and to learn more on the health care team difficulties to elaborate a common goal. Phenomenology has been the method used to define the problem. Twelve participants working in ICU were included in the reasearch sample representing the nurses, physicians and perfusionists working towards the concerned patient. Each of the participants had collaborated to an individual, semi structured and audio recorded interview. First, the researcher presented a vignette with which she asked everyone a certain number of identical questions. The questions permitted the participants to express as much on there experience than on the context of the phenomenon. A second meeting has been necessary to validate or correct the interpretation of what has been expressed by each participant during the interview. The data analyisis testify a lack of continuity concerning the goal to pursue with the patient in question. Almost half of the participants aim for a transplantation when the rest of them pursue other goals like discharge of ICU, treatment limitation or paliative care. By a majority, the participants are influenced by the patient’s will, the absence of formal communication mecanism, profesionnal factors such as : values, practices and environment and power differential. Thus, health care profesionnals that would want to pursue a common team goal are facing a certain number of barriers. The resercher realises that to overcome these barriers, multidisciplinary communication has do be the driving force of team goal- setting. Although, to acheave this, two pre-requisits have to be developed: the ethical intention and the engagement.
