Abstract:
Misfit between Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and business is widely recognized as the main cause of ERP system failure. Modification of the ERP system and adaptation of business processes have been hyped as the means to reduce misfits between ERP system and business organizations. Nevertheless, to date, very little empirical evidence exists to demonstrate that the potential has indeed been realized. Thus, the purpose of this study is to empirically examine to which extent the two misfit-reduction strategies, namely system modification and organizational adaptation mitigate the negative impacts of ERP misfits on ERP system performance, which is measured by information quality in this study. A total amount of 305 sets of questionnaire that collected from the ERP system users in manufacturing sector in Malaysia were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. The findings of this study have revealed that the effects of the two misfit-reduction strategies vary based on the different characteristic of ERP misfits. Specifically, system modification is found to significantly reduce the negative impacts of deep-structure misfit such as process misfit, whereas organization adaptation is significant in mitigating surface-structure misfit such as data presentation and layout.

Abstract:
Misfit is unavoidable in dental implant-supported prostheses due to machining process or inappropriate assembling, and the definition of an admissible misfit is still a controversial issue. This work aims to understand the behavior of the screws in dental implant-supported prostheses to estimate an admissible vertical misfit value in terms of screw fatigue failure. For that purpose, a finite element model of a dental implant-supported prosthesis was created and analyzed. Vertical misfits were introduced in different positions, the lower and upper screws were tightened to the bolting force values recommended by the manufacturer, and two different occlusal loads were analyzed. In addition, two different prosthesis materials were studied. Screw load variations were reported and a fatigue analysis was performed. As a result, it was observed that the screw tightening sequence closed small vertical misfits (equal to or less than 40 µm), whereas larger misfits (more than 40 µm) remained open. If the vertical misfit is closed by the end of the tightening sequence, it may be considered equivalent to the ideal fit situation in regard to screw fatigue failure. The prosthesis material had no significant influence on the fatigue behavior.

Abstract:
The atomic structures of heterophase interfaces with large misfits (>14% in Ag/Ni and Au/Ni) and with small misfits (∼2% in Ag/NiO and Au/NiO) have been studied by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). It is found that all interfaces are strongly faceted on (111) planes. This indicates that (111) interfaces have the lowest interfacial energy in both metal/metal and metal/metal-oxide systems. For the metal interfaces, this also agrees with determinations of interfacial energies by lattice statics calculations. The large misfit of Ag/Ni and Au/Ni interfaces is accommodated by misfit dislocations. Observations of misfit localization by HREM are in good agreement with images derived from computer simulation, based on relaxed structures, obtained in embedded atom calculations. All misfit dislocations at the Ag/Ni and Au/Ni interfaces lie exactly in the plane of the interfaces, while the dislocations at Ag/NiO and Au/NiO interfaces reside at a stand-off distance, 3 to 4 (111)Ag or (111)Au interplanar spacings from the interfaces.

Abstract:
Manufacturing resource planning (MRPII) system which is the core information system that supports the operations of manufacturing organization, are often failed to meet estimated benefits, impeding operational performance and strategic advantages, due to the misfit between the structure modeled in the system and the actual structure of manufacturing environment it intended to represent. Furthermore, disputations upon whether organizational adaptation is always superseding other misfit resolving strategies have increasingly exposed. Hence, this paper presents an operational framework – taxonomy model of MRPII misfit to be applied in a case study which involves three small and medium manufacturing organizations in Malaysia, with the purpose of systematically classify MRPII misfits, and subsequently to identify appropriate misfit resolving strategy (system modification or organization adaptation) based on the specificity of the misfit. The implications of each type of MRPII misfit have been discussed from the perspectives of degree of misfit severity, risk of the MRPII system, organizational discretion on structural change, and most importantly the misfit resolving strategy. In addition, the planned methodology of the case study is presented, in details of selection of case companies and data analysis method. The findings of this proposed study is expected to serve as general guidelines or basics that can be referred by adopting organization to build their resolving strategy, according to the specificity of MRPII misfit situation which they encountered.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of misfit between competitive environment, business strategy and control structure on performance. We argue that the misfit between competitive environment, business strategy and control structure has significant negative implications on shareholder value creation associated with firms’ Joint Venture formation. Based on data of publicly-traded US manufacturing firms that announce a joint venture formation, we found that firms that have perfect fit are valued higher than those with both strategy and structural misfits and also those with structural misfit. Contradictory results were found when comparing firms with perfect fit with those that have strategy misfit. Further analyses indicate that all those strategy misfit firms operate in high entry barriers, where firms can compete effectively using either innovation or cost efficiency strategy due to the fact that they possess resources that are difficult to be imitated by their competitors.

Abstract:
Simulated ground motions have recently gained more attention in seismology and earthquake engineering. Since different characteristics of waveforms are expected to influence alternative structural response parameters, evaluation of simulations, for key components of seismological and engineering points of view is necessary. When seismological aspect is of concern, consideration of a representative set of ground motion parameters is imperative. Besides, to test the applicability of simulations in earthquake engineering, structural demand parameters should simultaneously cover a descriptive set. Herein, simulations are evaluated through comparison of seismological against engineering misfits, individually defined in terms of log-scale misfit and goodness-of-fit score. For numerical investigations, stochastically simulated records of three earthquakes are considered: The 1992 Erzincan-Turkey, 1999 Duzce-Turkey and 2009 L’Aquila-Italy events. For misfit evaluation, seismological parameters include amplitude, duration and frequency content, while engineering parameters contain spectral acceleration, velocity and seismic input energy. Overall, the same trend between both misfits is observed. All misfits for Erzincan and Duzce located on basins are larger than those corresponding to L’Aquila mostly placed on stiff sites. The engineering misfits, particularly in terms of input energy measures, are larger than seismological misfits. In summary, the proposed misfit evaluation methodology seems useful to evaluate simulations for engineering practice.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the neighborhood built environment (NBE) aspects of age-friendly cities and communities (AFCCs) and social capital in the Korean context. We described and compared age differences when analyzing misfits of AFCC NBE and impacts on social capital. We collected the data (N = 1246) from two Korean communities; our multiple and binary logistic regression outcomes show that AFCC NBE aspects such as outdoor spaces, transportation, and housing are significant predictors of different subcategories of social capital. For the older group, the outdoor spaces misfit was significant for all three subcategories of social capital, but transportation and housing misfits were significant for the social trust and reciprocity index scores. For the middle-aged group, the outdoor spaces misfit was significant for social networking and participation, and a transportation misfit was significant for participation and social trust and reciprocity. Fewer misfits or better fits of outdoor spaces and transportation encouraged more networking, participation, social trust, and reciprocity. Dwelling type was important to predict social capital, especially for the older group. The present study confirmed the importance of AFCC NBE in predicting social capital and unique factors in the Korean context.

Abstract:
Abstract Battlers poetry (dagong shige 打工詩歌), a genre whose name has mostly been rendered in English as “migrant worker poetry” to date, presents an important development in Chinese literature since the 2000s. Written by members of a new precariat that plays a key role in China's economic growth, this poetry speaks to the plight of its constituency. Xu Lizhi 許立志 (1990–2014) is one of its best-known authors, whose rise to fame was triggered if not caused by his suicide. While it is impossible to conduct a real discussion of Xu's work without referring to his suicide and the story of the migrant workers, his status as a figurehead of battlers poetry at large raises questions because what he wrote is arguably not very representative of the genre at all. These observations lead to a discussion of the way battlers poetry has been framed in Chinese critical discourse, where it is often said to have high social significance but low aesthetic value. This convenient dyad is unsatisfying in that it simplifies the text's relation to reality—which is more highly charged for battlers poetry than for many other literary genres.

Abstract:
Misfit between Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRPII) system and the manufacturing environment of adopting organization are well known in contributing to the failure of the system implementation and jeopardizing the system performance. Hence, it is vital to have a better understanding of the system-context misfit problem. Nevertheless, limited studies have empirically examined the relationship between the misfit and the system outcome, especially at the dimensional level of the variables. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a Misfit-Inviability Model (MIM) to conceptualize of relationships between MRPII misfit, extent of organizational readiness, and MRPII system outcome, at the dimensional level of each variable and grounded on strong theoretical foundations. The MIM is an enhancement of existing Fit-Viability Model (FVM). In terms of implication, the new model manages to represent the system adoption as a dynamic process over time, by incorporating implementation contingencies. Additionally, the framework serves as a general model that can be adapted to assess the relationship between outcome of various information systems and the misfits. Future research may include more testing and validation of the dimensions and constructs used in the model.

Abstract:
This study investigated whether there is a direct correlation between the level of vertical misfit at the abutment/implant interface and torque losses (detorque) in abutment screws. A work model was obtained from a metal matrix with five 3.75 x 9 mm external hex implants with standard platform (4.1 mm). Four frameworks were waxed using UCLA type abutments and one-piece cast in commercially pure titanium. The misfit was analyzed with a comparator microscope after 20 Ncm torque. The highest value of misfit observed per abutment was used. The torque required to loose the screw was evaluated using a digital torque meter. The torque loss values, measured by the torque meter, were assumed as percentage of initial torque (100%) given to abutment screws. Pearson's correlation (α=0.05) between the misfit values (29.08 ± 8.78 µm) and the percentage of detorque (50.71 ± 11.37%) showed no statistically significant correlation (p=0.295). Within the limitations of this study, it may be concluded that great vertical misfits dot not necessarily implies in higher detorque values.

Projeto de Pós-Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Medicina Dentária
Falhas em sistemas de implantes dentários causadas pelo acúmulo de biofilmes, inflamação peri-implantar e degradação de materiais tem sido associadas ao desajuste de conexões entre pilares protéticos e implantes dentários. Sendo assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi caracterizar o ajuste implante-pilar de um sistema do tipo cone Morse por técnicas microscópicas. Um grupo de dez implantes e respectivos minipilares protéticos foram estudados. Superfícies da área das conexões dos implantes e dos minipilares protéticos foram inspecionadas por microscopia eletrônica de varrimento (MEV). Em seguida, os componentes foram conectados sob torque de 32 Ncm e embutidos em resina epóxica. As amostras implante-minipilar foram então seccionadas perpendicularmente ao plano da conexão implante-minipilar para mensuração das microfendas por MEV. Além disso, as áreas inspecionadas por MEV foram também analisadas quanto a composição química por espectroscopia de energia dispersiva (EDS) assim como por testes de nanoindentação e microdureza de Vickers. Defeitos originados do processamento foram detectados em todos as superfícies dos minipilares analisados por MEV. Os valores das dimensões das microfendas entre implante e minipilar variaram de 0,5 a 5 μm, aproximadamente. A presença de defeitos nas áreas de conexão intensificou a discrepância das microfendas. Os elementos Ti, Al e V foram identificados no espectro obtido por EDS dos minipilares o que sugere a composição da liga Ti6Al4V. Já para os implantes, apenas o elemento Ti foi identificado, o que confirma a sua composição baseada em titânio comercialmente puro. Maiores valores de microdureza Vickers foram encontrados para o pilar protético de Ti6Al4V (360 ± 17 HV) quando comparados aos valores para os implante de Ti CP (320 ± 8 HV). A diferença entre os valores de dureza do minipilar e implante dentário pode acelerar o processo de desgaste das conexões sob mcromovimentos durante a mastigação e aumentar as dimensões das microfendas. A adaptação pilar-implante pode ser alterada pelos defeitos aumentando assim tamanho dos microgaps e consequentemente facilitando o acúmulo de biofilmes e fluidos orais. Failures in dental implants systems caused by biofilm accumulation, peri-implant inflammation and material degradation have been correlated to the misfit of implantabutment joints. The main aim of this study was to characterize the fit of Morse Taper implant-abutment joints by microscopic analyses. Surfaces of 10 Morse taper implant systems were inspected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) before connection. After initial inspection, the implant-abutment systems were connected by applying a torque of 32 Ncm. For microgaps measurements by SEM, implant-abutment assemblies were embedded in epoxy resin and cross-sectioned at a perpendicular plane of the implant-abutment joint. Also, microhardness, nanoindentation and chemical analyses were performed at the implant-abutment joints. Concerning surfaces, defects originated from industrial processing were noticed on different areas of the abutment surfaces. On implant-abutment misfit measurements, the size of microgaps ranged from 0.5 μm up to 5.6 μm. Defects were also detected at implant-abutment microgaps that can increase the microgap size after connection. Microhardness tests revealed a higher hardness (360 ± 17 HV) for Ti6Al4V-based abutment when compared to implant composed of commercially pure titanium (320 ± 8 HV). The mismatch in mechanical properties between abutment and implant can increase the degradation of structural materials under micro-movements during mastication affecting the implant-abutment misfit and mechanical integrity of the implant-abutment joints during mastication. Defects on surfaces of abutments can intensify misfit of Morse taper implant joints. That might allow the penetration of oral microorganisms and fluids.

Abstract:
As software becomes more important to society, the number, age, and complexity of systems grow. Software organizations require continuous process improvement to maintain the reliability, security, and quality of these software systems. Software organizations can utilize data from manual fault classification to meet their process improvement needs, but organizations lack the expertise or resources to implement them correctly. This dissertation addresses the need for the automation of software fault classification. Validation results show that automated fault classification, as implemented in the MiSFIT tool, can group faults of similar nature. The resulting classifications result in good agreement for common software faults with no manual effort. To evaluate the method and tool, I develop and apply an extended change taxonomy to classify the source code changes that repaired software faults from an open source project. MiSFIT clusters the faults based on the changes. I manually inspect a random sample of faults from each cluster to validate the results. The automatically classified faults are used to analyze the evolution of a software application over seven major releases. The contributions of this dissertation are an extended change taxonomy for software fault analysis, a method to cluster faults by the syntax of the repair, empirical evidence that fault distribution varies according to the purpose of the module, and the identification of project-specific trends from the analysis of the changes.

Stabilizing mechanisms and design considerations for generating misfit layer compounds with a variety of different structural motifs were explored using designed precursors consisting of elemental layers. Layer order in the precursor film and the behavior of binary reaction couples was used to avoid undesirable reaction intermediates. Electron diffraction patterns of CuCr2 Se4 were inconsistent with prior reports that this compound has the spinel structure and were more consistent with a hexagonal R 3 ̄ structure. STEM imaging also suggests CuCr2 Se4 prepared using the compositionally modulated kinetic trapping approach is a new polymorph of the spinel structure. Electrical and magnetic properties were consistent with prior literature reports. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show pronounced hard and easy axes of magnetization not previously documented, which are consistent with a hexagonal crystal symmetry. The [{(PbSe)m }0.99 (WSe2 )n ] r and [{(PbSe)m }1.00 (MoSe2 )n ] r systems were investigated by STEM, XRD and density functional theory (DFT) modeling. No crystallographic registration between MSe and TSe 2 layers was observed and the diffraction observed in the hk 0 and hkl directions, where h = k = 0, can be described by diffraction from discrete layers of finite thickness. A distortion of the MX structure for m > 4 was documented. The distortion in MSe layers was largest for m = 2 and independent of TSe2 thickness. A novel family of compounds, [{(FeSe)m }1+y (NbSe 2 )n ]r , were synthesized inspired by a geological precedent. Single FeSe and NbSe2 layer thicknesses ((0.571 ± 0.005) nm and (0.653 ± 0.002) nm respectively) are consistent with literature values for the binary compounds. STEM-HAADF images of the [{(FeSe) 5 }1+y (NbSe2 )5 ]r revealed a multilayer structure with two distinct structural subunits. STEM-EELS analysis of the film showed no intermixing between the Nb and Fe regions within the limit of the measurement. Another family of misfit layer compounds, [{(NbSe2 )m }1+y (CuCr2Se4)n]r, designed to test requirements for a stable misfit layer compound, were successfully synthesized. STEM analysis of the [{(NbSe2 )5 }1+y (CuCr2 Se4 ) 1 ]r compound showed a well segregated film with two distinct subunit structures. Thicknesses for individual layers of NbSe2 or CuCr2 Se4 ((0.648 ± 0.004) nm and (1.76 ± 0.01) nm respectively) are consistent with prior literature reports of the individual binary compounds. This dissertation includes previously published and unpublished co-authored material.

Abstract:
The thermoelectric properties and microstructure of two families of misfit type layered structure cobaltites were investigated for thermoelectric applications. Firstly, Bismuth strontium cobaltite ceramics with the formulations Bi2+xSr2Co2Oy (x=0, 0.1 and 0.2), Bi1.74Sr2Co1.8Oy and Bi2Sr2Co1.8Oy were produced using solid-state reaction (MO) method. The same powders were also used to produce ceramics by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) fabrication technique. SEM, high resolution XRD and HRTEM techniques has been employed to characterise the microstructure and crystal structures of the ceramics. Figure of merit (ZT) was also determined from measurement of electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity. Together with the above, calcium cobaltite of formulation Ca3-xBixCo3O9 (x=0 and 0.3) was also produced via MO and SPS routes. The same characterisation techniques were used for characterisation of calcium cobaltite. For Bi2+xSr2Co2Oy ceramics, it was found that SPS fabrication is essential to obtain high density samples. Excess bismuth has a major role in the adjustment of the microstructure and thermoelectric properties. The room temperature microstructure contains two minor phases with compositions of CoO and Bi0.75Sr0.25O1.26. The crystal structure of the main phase was successfully indexed and refined as misfit type structure having monoclinic symmetry with I2/a space group. A high ZT of 0.12 was achieved in both x=0.1 and 0.2 MO samples. For Bi2Sr2Co1.8Oy ceramics, the microstructure contains only one minor phase, Bi0.75Sr0.25O1.26. A high ZT of 0.16 was obtained at 900 K for this composition. For Bi1.74Sr2Co1.8Oy, it was not possible to obtain high density ceramics by MO route and SPS fabrication was necessary. However, SPS sample showed a low ZT of 0.04 at 900 K.For ceramics of formulation Ca3-xBixCo3O9 (x=0 and 0.3), it was difficult to obtain high density calcium cobaltite ceramics by MO route and SPS fabrication was found to be essential. In addition to improved density, SPS produced textured microstructure. Similar to bismuth strontium cobaltite, excess bismuth played a major role in microstructure development and thermoelectric properties. Single phase and high density Ca3Co4O9 ceramics were obtained by SPS. A minor phase of Bi2Ca2Co2Oy was found in the microstructure of Ca3-xBixCo3O4 (x=0.3) samples. A high ZT of 0.25 was obtained for Ca3Co4O9 SPS samples at 900 K through improvement of power factor. In-situ synchrotron XRD in the temperature range of 300-1223 K was performed on both Bi2Sr2Co2Oy and Ca3Co4O9 to obtain their high temperature structural characteristics. The crystal structure of both compounds remains unchanged till 1223 K. For, Bi2Sr2Co2Oy the CoO and Bi0.75Sr0.25O1.26 minor phases disappear above 1073 K and a new minor phase containing (Bi-Sr-O) or (Bi-Co-O) starts forming. On heating, the lattice volume and coefficient of thermal expansion change linearly for both compounds. Thermal expansion coefficient was found to be 0.0000353-0.0000343 and 0.0000296-0.0000288 K-1 over the temperature range of 300-1223 K for Bi2Sr2Co2Oy and Ca3Co4O9 respectively.

Abstract:

Background: Growth oriented entrepreneurial businesses need funding for the development of their idea, technology, product etc. However, for the businesses in the very earliest stages of development, access to funding is very limited. Growing young ventures are important job creators and positively affect growth in an economy. Bridging the gap of funding to these companies is therefore on the agenda of governments around the world.

Purpose: To describe the situation facing seed stage investing venture capitalists. I will emphasize difficulties and evaluate venture capitalists ability in addressing them. Effects of the difficulties in form of access to financing for entrepreneurs and a possible need for government intervention will be examined.

Method: Empirical information from seed stage investing venture capital organizations have been collected in the form of face-to-face interviews, email- questionnaires and a telephone interview. Organizations from Sweden, Denmark and Germany are included in the study.

Result: Several factors make seed stage investing unattractive compared to later stages. Important difficulties are higher risks, high costs for fund management, goal incongruence in the investor – venture capitalist relation and lack of bargaining power for seed venture capitalists. Environmental factorsthat have an impact on seed investing are the deal flow, the investment climate and access to soft funding. Seed stage investing is a very challenging business and the difficulties are to a large extent hard to overcome. The investors more likely have to accept them and I conclude that long term profitability of seed funds is unlikely, at least in absence of government support in form of soft funding towards the entrepreneurial businesses.

This falls within the person-environment fit (PE fit) literature which is based on principles founded in interactional psychology that when a person fits the environment that they are in, positive outcomes, such as job satisfaction, will result. Despite a wealth of empirical studiesin theP E fit field studyingv ariousa spectso f individuals' fit with their work environmentt,h erea re significantg apsi n knowledgea ndu nderstanding.O neo f thesei s that little researchh as investigatedh ow employeese xperiencefi t andm isfit. A secondg ap is that little is known aboutm isfit and whethert his is the oppositet o fit, an absenceo f fit or a separateca tegoricasl tate. The researchf ocusedo n theseg apsi n the literaturea nd took a qualitative, exploratory approach to gain in-depth understanding of the factors affecting individuals' fit in organisations.

The resultingd ata were coded using measures from the PE fit literature to explore whether the extant measuresa dequatelyc apturedp eople'se xperiencesa nd also to assessw hethert herew ere differencesb etweenf it andm isfit. The researchfo und that the extantP E fit measures explainedp articipants'e xperienceos f fit andm isfit well but that ast hesea re focusedo n factors within the organisational environment, they miss external factors such as people's links with their communities. It seems that the majority of individuals experience misfit to some extent but that overwhelming misfit perceptions can be triggered by a change in the organisation. Misfit and fit are shown to differ, most profoundly in that whereas fit is a positive experience, misfit is negative and a state to be avoided.
