Abstract:

During the past decade, an increase in activity associated with the education of the gifted has been evident. This study provides a social and evaluative framework from which to view two organizational means of making educational provision for gifted students. In-class provision in one school is compared statistically and descriptively with a partial withdrawal system in another. The Stake evaluation model was used to provide a focus and classification system for the collection and processing of naturalistic data. Group tests of ability, attainment and attitudes were administered in order to obtain some more objective data. Evolutionary changes in the schools during the twelve month period make for difficulties in comparison; the reasons for the changes occuring highlight the difficulties which classroom teachers have in understanding and coming to grips with teaching gifted students. Any advantage in terms of student outcomes was weighted towards the school with in-class provision. The writer postulates that this was due to the collective responsibility, or ownership of the program, assumed by the teachers in this school, as opposed to the situation in the other school, where only one teacher, the withdrawal teacher, was prepared to assume this responsibility. This study will provide valuable insight for any professionals who wish to undertake similar programs.

Abstract:

The distribution of influence in organizational decisions is analysed in relation to institutional frameworks and characteristics inherent to decision topics. Distribution of influence is defined as the concentration of participants in decision process and their specific capability to influence decision outcomes. This definition encompasses two dimensions which are: participation in the decision processes and effective influence upon the decision outcomes. Institutional frameworks are distinguished according to the loci of their genesis and existence, that are: the focal organization the task-environment and the larger social context. Six characteristics inherent to decision topics are identified as related to variables defined as properties of decision. The analysis is carried out at two distinct stages. At the first stage, it examines the relationships of the institutional frameworks - existing at the organization and the task environment level - and of the properties of decisions with the distribution of influence in decision processes. At the second stage, the patterns of influence that emerged out of the first stage of analysis are analysed in terms of cultural traits prevailing in Brazilian society. The results point to variation in the distribution of influence in decision processes associated with factors of the taskenvironment, of the context of the organizations and characteristics inherent to decision topics. But they do not provide a wholly satisfactory explanation of such variation. A more general pattern of influence in management decisionmahing, characterized by low level of participation and high centre of influence in decision processes, appears as the dominant profile of the distribution of influence in Brazilian organizations. Interpreted in the light of the Brazilian social context, this pattern of influence in management decision making shows pervasive cultural traits, identified in the macro social system. Comparing the patterns of influence in management decisionmaking in Brazil and Britain, similarities and differences come to light. The comparative analysis corroborates the argument that patterns of influence in management decision making are bound to contingent as much as to institutional factors.

Full text

Abstract:

This study explored organizational learning from a feminist perspective, similar to feminist critiques of organizational culture, and offers an analysis of individual’s perceptions of gender dynamics in organizational learning. Mainstream literature on organizational learning is based upon gender-blind assumptions in theory and practice. This study examined those assumptions with a feminist lens. Constructivist epistemology, a feminist interpretive lens, and phenomenological and feminist methodologies guide this research, which asks, what does gender equal organizational learning look like? Fourteen senior leaders of a small New England college were interviewed to better understanding their experience of gender and collective learning at a small liberal arts college. Feminist analysis of the in-depth interviews revealed patterns of gender dynamics and a distinction between informal and formal organizational learning. Informal learning affected elements of formal organizational learning, raising questions about the ways culture is enacted in organizations. Gendered experiences of voice, participation, and power are among the key findings that problematize mainstream organizational learning theory and suggest that different genders have dissimilar experiences of the participatory and strategic development of their organization. This research sheds light on the emancipatory potential of organizational learning, showing the ways organizational learning is both aa reflection of the culture and a means to change culture and advance gender equality.

Abstract:

The search for rules governing the successful management of organizations in different environments and following different strategies is well established. One central thread that runs through such contingency-type studies is that; as uncertainty increases, so does the necessity for more complex forms of communication and control. From such a premise it does not seem unreasonable to expect that systematic differences should be found in accounting across different organizations. The tools used for exploring such differences in this thesis are strongly influenced by one further line of reasoning; by separating accounting in organizations from the people in organizations involved with it any attempt at understanding the linkages between accounting and organizational control is likely to be severely hampered. In order to put forward these two lines of reasoning, this thesis draws on a series of social network studies carried out in four organizations in the UK Clothing and Textiles Industry. By directly investigating communication patterns within different organizations it becomes possible to shed some light on the issue of how accounting is implicated in the functioning of these organizations. Analysis of these patterns is presented in a series of organizational communication 'maps' alongside various descriptive statistics. With the aid of these, the roles of accountants and accounting are explored and compared across organizations following different strategies and facing different competitive environments.

Abstract:

Interprofessional collaboration is recognized as the innovative, evidence-based strategy that strengthens health systems and improves performance and health outcomes. While resource-rich countries have benefited much from the implementation of this initiative, literature is scarce regarding sub-Sahara Africa. This quantitative cross-sectional descriptive study described the extent of interprofessional collaborative practice at the tertiary care level in Nigeria and its implications on patient health outcomes, professionals' performance, satisfaction, and healthy practice environment. The relational coordination theory (RCT) provided the conceptual framework for the study. Key research questions were on the association between the extents of interprofessional practice and each of the outcome implications. Data were collected using a questionnaire survey and were analyzed using means, standard deviations, t tests, correlation and regression statistics, and Chi-square tests. Results showed that the health professionals rated the practice of interprofessional collaboration low and perceived that the extents of the practice negatively affected patient's mortality, professionals' work performance, job satisfaction, and the frequency of interprofessional conflicts and strike actions. Recommendations included policy formulation and implementation, commitment and willingness by the health professionals to teamwork and patient-centered care. The implications for positive social change is that these results could be used as a tool to advocate for policy formulation and policy change for effective implementation of interprofessional collaboration; and as a database for future training intervention on collaborative practices among health professionals.

Abstract:

Desde as primeiras discussões sobre o processo de criação de riqueza, avançando para o mainstream econômico, as empresas eram consideradas perfeitamente racionais, realizando suas atividades de acordo com a mesma combinação de fatores. No entanto, invalidando a hipótese geral da função de produção com lucro máximo e dissolvendo o pressuposto de equilíbrio, a economia industrial trouxe uma nova perspectiva sobre a realidade. A economia industrial mostrou que os agentes econômicos, as empresas, são diferentes uns dos outros. A abordagem foi então invertida: em vez de "por que as empresas deveriam ser iguais?", a questão passou a ser "por que as empresas diferem?". A partir de então, as diferenças entre empresas sob restrições reais entraram em destaque, especialmente no que diz respeito ao desempenho: por que algumas empresas prosperam, enquanto outras fracassam? É fundamental, portanto, compreender que qualquer empresa existente é, ao mesmo tempo, uma firma, i.e, o agente econômico que desenvolve e transaciona bens e serviços, e uma organização, i.e., a estrutura para coordenar eficientemente a produção desses bens e serviços. Se as empresas são diferentes, então há diferentes padrões de organização da firma. Nesse sentido, para cada diferente conhecimento, rotinas e habilidades organizacionais, as empresas apresentarão diferentes capacidades. Sendo assim, pode-se dizer que as firmas são organizadas de acordo com suas capacidades. No entanto, o que significa de fato organização da firma? O que é uma firma organizada? Em que tipo de esforço deve a estrutura de coordenação da firma depender? Qual é a organização adequada para diferentes tipos de firmas? Com o objetivo de responder a essas perguntas, o principal objetivo da presente pesquisa é identificar diferentes padrões de empresa, considerando a combinação firma-organização. O objetivo é alcançado a partir da análise de dados secundários do projeto “Caminhos de Inovação na Indústria Brasileira”, coordenado pelo Núcleo de Estudos em Inovação (NITEC) e realizado no período de 2010 a 2015. O projeto foi baseado em um modelo de capacidades de inovação que abrange capacidades relacionadas tanto à firma quanto à organização. Foram analisados os dados quantitativos coletados na pesquisa realizada em 1331 empresas industriais. Análise fatorial, análise de agrupamentos, correlação de Pearson, regressão múltipla e análise descritiva foram os métodos utilizados. Os resultados demonstram quatro padrões diferentes de empresa: empresas quase equilibradas, empresas baseadas na firma, empresas baseadas em organização avançada e empresas baseadas em organização básica. Ao detalhar os diferentes padrões de empresa, é possível compreender o que está por trás da inovação e da desorganização dentro das empresas analisadas. Os quatro padrões identificados sugerem que as empresas podem agir em prol da eficácia, da estabilidade ou do cumprimento do seu potencial inovador ao longo do tempo. Nesse sentido, a desorganização aparece sempre que firma e organização estão desequilibradas. No entanto, isso pode ser momentâneo, como uma consequência natural da inovação, ou permanente, como consequência de ineficiência interna. Como conclusão, é possível sugerir que não existe uma única melhor combinação entre firma e organização, mas existem combinações diferentes para posicionamentos diferentes e, assim, diferentes desempenhos. Nesse sentido, a empresa desorganizada é a empresa que não tem a organização adequada para garantir seus melhores resultados em um dado momento. A partir dos resultados identificados, este estudo pode ajudar empresários a entender que ser uma empresa baseada em organização é arriscado se a empresa não apresentar um nível adequado e alinhado de desenvolvimento. O estudo elucida as direções a serem seguidas pelas empresas que visam avançar a complexidade da firma rumo a uma empresa mais equilibrada e direções a serem seguidas por empresas que já apresentam resultados satisfatórios, dado o posicionamento de cada uma delas. Como contraponto, o estudo também esclarece a importância do alinhamento entre as agências reguladoras e a direção da competitividade de uma nação. Ao fazê-lo, o estudo pode ajudar a elucidar aos decisores políticos que as políticas de inovação devem centrar-se nas inovações relacionadas principalmente à esfera da firma, para, mais tarde, a organização ser estruturada – e não vice-versa.

Abstract:

Four studies were undertaken to investigate the advance planning and perception of simple rhythmic patterns. Subjects listened to patterns of identical, computer-generated tones and then reproduced them as accurately as possible by tapping on a single response key. Section One focussed on the advance planning of isochronous rhythmic patterns in which subjects performed the additional task of initiating pattern reproduction as quickly as possible. In Experiment 1, subjects listened to patterns of one to six tones with interstimulus intervals (ISIs) of 300 ms. The reproduction phase involved no stimulus uncertainty. Reaction time (RT) was found to increase linearly with number of response events. Advance planning thus occurs for patterns reproduced as slow as 300 ms per response event. Stimulus uncertainty is not a necessary condition for RT to increase with response complexity. In Experiment 2, subjects reproduced patterns of one to eight tones with ISIs of 200, 400, 600, and 800 ms. A linear RT trend was found only at the 200-ms rate. Patterns slower than this rate did not display "response coherence". Patterns at the 200-ms and 400-ms rates showed evidence of grouping through the accenting of first and last intervals. These patterns' displayed "perceptual coherence". Section Two focussed on the perceptual organization of patterns in which pattern structures could suggest the grouping of events as two equal-duration intervals. In Experiment 3, subjects reproduced two series of patterns, one series in which the suggested grouping-intervals were initiated by external-world events, and one in which they were not. Pattern structures in the latter series were not suggestive enough to induce grouping of events as two equal-duration intervals. Patterns were instead grouped as two intervals of unequal duration showing that the relative temporal positions of external-world events dominates in simple perceptual grouping. Experiment 4 investigated the upper temporal limit of perceptual grouping intervals and the influence of number of group constituents. Results showed that perceptual grouping of events that span more than 1800 ms is seldom accomplished and that grouping occurs when intervals contain up to seven constituents.

Abstract:

The purpose of this project is to provide a simulation which includes communication structures during a terrorist attack. Different communication patterns will provide different results in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. We are planning to identify some key variables to form an effective network structure in a military action. According to key variables of an organization, centralized and decentralized structures produce different communication patterns and different outputs as well. In a combat environment these different patterns will result in distinct results in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. This environment can be modeled by the help of software like Arena. As a part of the Global War on Terrorism NATO forces are conducting operations in Afghanistan. To enhance stability in Afghanistan, NATO established PRTs (Provincial Reconstruction Teams) composed of multinational elements (partly civilian, but mostly military. These teams are static, and form potential targets for terrorist attacks. We will use PRTs in our model as the target of the terrorists and try to discriminate communication structures in these ambush scenarios.

Abstract:

Surprisingly little is known about the organization and distribution of tRNAs and tRNA-related sequences on a genome-wide scale. While tRNA complements are usually reported in passing as part of genome annotation efforts, and peculiar features such as the tandem arrangements of tRNAs in Entamoeba histolytica have been described in some detail, comparative studies are rare. We therefore set out to systematically survey the genomic arrangement of tRNAs in a wide range of eukaryotes to identify common patterns and taxon-specific peculiarities. We found that tRNA complements evolve rapidly and that tRNA locations are subject to rapid turnover. At the phylum level, distributions of tRNA numbers are very broad, with standard deviations on the order of the mean. Even within fairly closely related species, we observe dramatic changes in local organization. Consistent with this variability, syntenic conservation of tRNAs is also poor in general, with turn-over rates comparable to those of unconstrained sequence elements. We conclude that the genomic organization of tRNAs shows complex, lineage-specific patterns characterized by extensive variability, and that this variability is in striking contrast to the extreme levels of sequence-conservation of the tRNA genes themselves. Our comprehensive analysis of eukaroyotic tRNA distributions provides a basis for further studies into the interplay between tRNA gene arrangements and genome organization in general. Secondly, we focused on the investigation of small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) from whole transcriptome data. Since ncRNAs constitute a significant part of the transcriptome, we explore this data to detect and classify patterns derived from transcriptome-associated loci. We selected three distinct ncRNA classes: microRNAs, snoRNAs and tRNAs, all of which undergo maturation processes that lead to the production of shorter RNAs. After mapping the sequences to the reference genome, specific patterns of short reads were observed. These read patterns appeared to reflect RNA processing and, if so, should specify the RNA transcripts from which they are derived. In order to investigate whether the short read patterns carry information on the particular ncRNA class from which they orginate, we performed a random forest classification on the three distinct ncRNA classes listed above. Then, after exploring the potential classification of general groups of ncRNAs, we focused on the identification of small RNA fragments derived from tRNAs. After mapping transcriptome sequence data to reference genomes, we searched for specific short read patterns reflecting tRNA processing. In this context, we devised a common tRNA coordinate system based on conservation and secondary structure information that allows vector representation of processing products and thus comparison of different tRNAs by anticodon and amino acid. We report patterns of tRNA processing that seem to be conserved across species. Though the mechanisms and functional implications underlying these patterns remain to be clarified, our analysis suggests that each type of tRNA exhibits a specific pattern and thus appears to undergo a characteristic maturation process.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2000.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 126-132).
Many animal behaviors consist of using special patterns of motion for communication, with certain types of movements appearing widely across animal species. Oscillatory motions in particular are quite prevalent, where many of these repetitive movements can be characterized by a simple sinusoidal model with very specific and limited parameter values. We develop a computational model of categorical perception of these motion patterns based on their inherent structural regularity. The model proposes the initial construction of a hierarchical ordering of the model parameters to partition them into sub-categorical specializations. This organization is then used to specify the types and layout of localized computations required for the corresponding visual recognition system. The goal here is to do away with ad hoc motion recognition methods of computer vision, and instead exploit the underlying structural description for a motion category as a motivating mechanism for recognition. We implement this framework and present an analysis of the approach with synthetic and real oscillatory motions, and demonstrate its applicability within an interactive artificial life environment. With this categorical foundation for the description and recognition of related motions, we gain insight into the basis and development of a machine vision system designed to recognize these patterns.

Abstract:

Computer mediated communication (CMC) fundamentally influences the function of communication. It influences the organization's management and administration, but it most affects the dynamics of middle and lower level employees. The most simplistic model is that of an electronic office in which its employees need to know and understand the role of CMC. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance and satisfaction of co-workers who use CMC to communicate within their organization, and to check employees' performance when using CMC.

Abstract:

Missing from extant conflict literature is an examination of both symmetric and asymmetric conflict ties. To address this void, network analysis was utilized to examine the responses (both symmetric and asymmetric conflict ties) of 140 employees and managers in four divisions of a large agency of the Federal Government. The study was limited to conflict over scarce resources. Conflict management methods were examined as well as the perceptions of how respondents both cope with and feel about conflict. The results indicate that when two people in a conflict setting are structurally equivalent they both report actions and feelings that are opposite from those of- the other person. This finding, an inverse contagion effect, has been termed diffusion resistance.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the patterns of organization and use of microcomputers in Arizona high schools. More specifically, the study was designed to determine the number and types of instructional computing applications being used in Arizona high schools, the level and types of system support for microcomputers, the amount and types of training for faculty and students using microcomputers, the number and types of equipment commonly used, the arrangement and control of microcomputer facilities, and the availability and use by faculty and students. A survey instrument was used to gather data from the target population, which consisted of librarians, principals, and/or computer coordinators from 150 public high schools in Arizona. These three groups were viewed as equivalent sources of information for the purposes of this study. The survey questionnaire was reviewed by a sample of librarians, principals, and computer coordinators for completeness and feasibility. The procedures used for testing the eight hypotheses were (1) Pearson product moment correlation coefficients and (2) frequency distributions. Significant results were found for the analysis of data of one hypothesis. Student use of microcomputers increased with the number of computers available for use by all students. Findings also included information about the most common computing applications, dedicated support for microcomputers, amounts and types of training for faculty and students, and arrangement and use of microcomputers within Arizona high schools. Recommendations for additional investigation were included.

Full text

Abstract:

Coworking spaces, an example of the sharing economy concept, refers to shared workplaces that mostly freelancers, entrepreneurs and other actors of the knowledge industry utilize for the purpose of flexible sharing of space, ideas and knowledge. Previous research reveals that the proximity of occupants sitting together in a shared office space does not necessarily lead to inter-organizational collaboration. Knowledge sharing and inter-organizational collaboration tend to be perceived by occupants and managers of coworking spaces as incidental or a secondary aim. In the same view, coworking spaces tend to be perceived as service providers rather than a community where collaboration can be fostered. A potential solution, in this case is, the initial understanding and categorization of occupant types and their evident collaboration approaches which may result in the managers and policy makers of coworking spaces knowing what conditions to put in place in order to foster collaboration.The novelty of this research and contribution to theoretical knowledge lies in the development of insect metaphors to simplify the understanding of coworking space occupant types and their corresponding inter-organizational collaboration approaches as it affects their willingness or lack thereof to engage in collaboration.The research data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with a selection of occupants across three selective coworking spaces in Malmö. The findings of this research indicate that there are correlations between occupant types, their collaboration approach and their willingness to collaborate. Therefore, the effort to promote collaboration at coworking spaces needs to be a responsibility shared between the occupants and the community managers.

Little, James. "A Comparison of the Situational and Patterned Behavioral Description Interview in Predicting Job Performance." TopSCHOLAR®, 2000. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/725.

Full text

Abstract:

The preference for the use of employment interviews over other selection measures is evident in the wide usage, popularity and the vast amount of research on the utility and psychometric properties of interviews over the last 60 years. Although the vast majority of interview research has focused on the factors influencing the interviewer's rating and comparing unstructured to structured interviews formats, little in the way of comparing structured formats (i.e., the situational interview and patterned behavioral description interview) has been performed. This researcher addressed this specific concern in regard to soft-skills in a retail setting. After development of situational and patterned behavioral description interview questions, the validity of both types of interview questions in predicting job performance was measured. Both interview formats had good inter-item and inter-rater reliability. Overall, the situational interview was a better predictor of current "Customer Service" performance and overall year-end performance than the patterned behavioral description interview. The situational interview accounted for significant incremental validity beyond the patterned behavioral description interview for the overall performance data but not for the current "Customer Service" performance.

Abstract:

El desenvolupament de tècniques experimentals basades en la captura de la conformació genòmica (3C), han aportat informació rellevant sobre l’estructura del genoma. En particular el Hi-C, un derivat del 3C, el qual s’ha convertit en una tècnica estàndard per l’estudi de l’estructura 3D del genoma i la seva implicació biològica i funcional. Malgrat tot, existeix una manca de estàndards per el seu anàlisi i interpretació. En aquesta tesi, desenvolupem una xarxa neuronal artificial, Metawaffle, capaç de classificar patrons estructurals sense informació prèvia, que ens permet examinar la capacitat de CTCF de formar bucles de cromatina i identificar la seva signatura epigenètica. La identificació de bucles de cromatina ens permet generar una xarxa neuronal convolutiva, LOOPbit, per la seva detecció de novo en matrius de contacte Hi-C.

Finally, we present a bioinformatic tool, CHESS, for the comparison of contact matrices and the specific identification and extraction of differential features, such as TADs, stripes or loops.

Abstract:

The prevailing wisdom in current intercultural research is that people in collectivistic societies such as Hong Kong have low levels of conflict and competition. This view is challenged, however, based on three arguments: cultural values are too often equated with actual practice, the multiple goals of actions are ignored, and the in-group/out-group distinction is not adequately addressed in theory and research. Data drawn from an ethnographic study of organizational relationships in Hong Kong indicate that a reexamination is in order. While the surface harmony reported in many studies was acknowledged, informants also consistently pointed to underlying currents of competition and conflict within the organization. Two models are proposed based on a reanalysis of the literature. The Classical Confucian Collectivist model represents the received view that Confucianism and collectivism lead to suppression of personal goals in favor of group goals. The Pragmatic Collectivist model, on the other hand, argues that instrumental goals still are the primary drivers of human interaction. While the Classical Confucian Collectivist might represent an idealized model that influences actors' accounts, the Pragmatic Collectivist model is a better representation of everyday action. Analysis of results in an experimental study lends support to these challenges.

Abstract:

This dissertation is a diachronic settlement and landscape study undertaken from an interpretive archaeology perspective. The outcome of this study has been an interpretation of the settlement and landscape configurations as well as of the sociopolitical organization during the entire prehispanic occupation (ca. 1100 B.C.- A.D. 1532) of the Upper Piura River Valley in the Far North Coast of Perú. Also, the sociopolitical interaction between the local polities of the Upper Piura River Valley and the southern foreign Northern North Coast polities has been assessed. The Far North Coast is not an environmentally "marginal" area as compared to the Northern North Coast. Yet, in terms of its prehispanic cultural development, it often has been characterized as "marginal" or "peripheral". Such characterization is due in part to an overemphasis on the study of Mochica style cultural materials found in the Far North Coast. In particular, the emphasis on analyses of "high quality" Mochica ceramics has led to interpretations that view local Upper Piura River Valley sociopolitical developments from the perspective of the "dominant" Northern North Coast societies in an unbalanced situation disregarding the perspective of the supposedly "weaker, less developed" local societies. In this sense, interpretations drawn from iconographic and stylistic analyses of objects on the one hand, and from landscape analyses on the other, seem like two different versions of the same story. Since the latter is so uncommon and unexplored in Andean archaeology, I chose to apply it in this dissertation. For that purpose I followed two different but complementary paths of interpretation. The first path is an interpretation of the landscape from a dwelling perspective. The goal was to create an analogy of the experience of past individuals through an embodiment process via the movement of my body and mind through the landscape features. A second path of interpretation was merged with the first one. This second path comprised a classic settlement pattern analysis oriented to clarify the nature of the sociopolitical interaction between local polities of the Upper Piura River Valley and the intrusive polities of the Northern North Coast. The second path of interpretation also entailed overlapping the settlement patterns observed onto the spatial structures and topograms defined and interpreted by the dwelling perspective. As a result, I found that the study area is characterized by a 2600-year long process of dwelling in the landscape. Through this process and along the years, yet following a long, local process, revolving around the topograms, the landscapes conceptualizations and configurations changed. Two moments of the settlements and landscapes configurations were defined: the "old system" and the "new system". For most of its history (through all the "old system" and the first epoch of the "new system"), and acknowledging the mutual cultural influence with other areas (e.g., the Northern North Coast), the local landscape and settlement configurations were not disrupted and engaged in an egalitarian or coevolving sociopolitical interaction. Yet during the second epoch of the "new system", this situation changed drastically when a hierarchical and coercive interaction structure developed during the Chimú and Inca periods.

Full text

Abstract:

This research is an empirically based, comparative study of the inspectorates in two high profile areas of public concern, the education and police services and explores the realities and complexities of an increasingly politically favoured instrument, inspection, in regulation regimes. It uses case study methodology and data collected by semi-structured interviews and textual analysis of literature, and reports and other documents published by the two inspectorates and associated organisations. The study has the aims of contextualising the role and place of the inspectorates and of establishing if they are an aid to the achievement of accountability; whether they are independent assessors; and whether any aid given could be extended to a wider population of ”stakeholders”. It seeks to identify ways that any benefits given could be increased and to relate the findings to other scholarship and draw out new insights, particularly those relating to the factors which determine the nature of the regime. Considerably more conflict was revealed than might be expected within and between organisations commonly funded by the public purse. Four methods of resolving this were detected, “co-operation”, “constraint”, “collaboration” and “compromise”. The inspectorates give definite assistance to the accountable parties by the information they provide but this is restricted by their being agents of Central Government control rather than independent assessors. Greater assistance would be given (including that offered to a wider population of stakeholders) if they were made truly independent. Multiple factors were found to determine the punitive nature of regimes, by far the most important being Central Government’s attitude and wishes. Intensive, rigorous inspection is seen as the favoured way ahead in the short term but its extensive use in the longer term is challenged, given an improvement in the line management of public services and the establishment and extension of the use and influence of credible Performance Indicators

A project planning phase is critical to the success of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project. The design of a work breakdown structure (WBS) is an essential and effective task in the planning phase. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new way of designing a WBS through the Work Breakdown Design Pattern Generator (WBDPG). Compared to conventional ways of creating a WBS, the WBDPG helps to design a WBS based on the ability to compare the alternatives and their potential benefits. The core hypothesis of this research is that a well-designed and thus better performing - WBS should increase alignment between situational project requirements and the project's product breakdown structure (PBS) or organizational breakdown structure (OBS). In order to consider this alignment and tradeoffs, a method is proposed which uses morphological and domain mapping matrices to conduct a tradespace and scenario analyses. With this "generator" method, combinations of different breakdown rules across several layers of hierarchy lead to predicted varying levels of performance of the project. For example, a WBS made of functional breakdown rules shows high alignment with the PBS, thus such projects result in better performance related to the product structure. In contrast, a WBS driven by resource breakdown rules aligns highly with the OBS, resulting in high performance related to the organizational structure. In a case where locational difference has a big impact on the project, a WBS made of geographical breakdown rules is likely to lead to better performance. The research concludes that the Work Breakdown Design Pattern Generator can forecast different performance given WBSs designed through different combinations of breakdown rules, and resulting variation in alignment across breakdown structures. Given that PPP projects are often complex, with large-scale and many stakeholders, the method demonstrates a way that structural alternatives can be generated so that the various partners in dialogue can shape their work approach efficiency in the early phase. The research has several limitations and opportunities for extension. In this paper, the organization structure and the product structure are assumed as given. Also, any refinement or change loops to the WBS during the project were not considered.

Abstract:

In the last decades, the spatial organization of services has become a key issue in the urban planning literature. The basic reasons for this significance are the difficulties not only in understanding this complex and context-dependent organization, but also in developing planning interventions for this organization. Moreover, author believes that the existing theoretical frameworks have some inabilities in interpreting the spatial organization at the intra-metropolitan scale. Therefore, this study basically aims to redefine the spatial organization of service activities in Ankara with a relational perspective, and consequently, to develop an information-base for new types of planning interventions. For this purpose, first, the concepts and the fields of concepts that are integral to the spatial organization of services are examined. These concepts are the spatial patterns of concentration and dispersion and the spatial cohesiveness. Thereafter, the analytical framework that is required to study these concepts empirically, is introduced by stating the advantages of using descriptive mathematical techniques, indicators and methodological procedures in relational perspective. In the case study, the spatial organization of services in Ankara is redefined basically with reference to the spatial patterns of concentration and dispersion and the spatial cohesiveness of services. This redefinition displays the monocentric structure of Ankara and the differentiated parts within the spatial organization of services according to the activity compositions. Afterwards, this redefinition is utilized as the starting point for the reformulation of a new planning approach and new regulations directed towards the differentiated parts of the spatial organization of services. Finally, the methodological and contentual contributions, and also the possible further studies are presented as concluding remarks.

Abstract:

It is important to improve our understanding of the connection between distributed learning behavior and corresponding university institutional intellectual property policy at the organizational and national level. This study utilizes a mixed methods approach by first employing 2 methods of analysis, a quantitative examination of distributed learning activity at a faculty member- and institutional-level using two National Center of Education Statistics data sets: the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty and Integrated Postsecondary Education Survey, and a qualitative analysis of institutional intellectual property policies that address distributed learning types of products and activities to determine how ownership and control issues are being addressed. The results produced from the quantitative analysis were used to construct 4 institutional types descriptive of distributed learning (i.e., email, website use, distance education) activity concentration by institutional characteristics (i.e., Carnegie classification, control, enrollment, expenditures per student) to then conduct a qualitative study of 46 U.S. institutional intellectual property copyright policies. Policies were selected and analyzed according to four categories. The first category is ownership and control of products developed by faculty members (the restriction or control of the products of faculty's activities, and the claims on the proceeds of those activities, and shares of royalties allocated to creators). The second category addresses the issue of product disaggregation (ownership and control according to the type of product, the extent to which distributed learning products or activities specifically addressed). The third category has to do with the actual scope of the policy (extent to which policies address employees involved in the production process, work time/course of employment, resources, and university units involved). The last category is exemplary distributed learning policy (extent to which exemplary distributed learning policies address activities or products differently from the others).

Full text

Abstract:

Nature uses fibrous surfaces for a wide range of functions such as sensing, adhesion, structural color, and self-cleaning. However, little is known about how fiber properties enable them to self-organize into diverse and complex functional forms. Using polymeric micro/nanofiber arrays with tunable properties as model systems, we demonstrate how the combination of mechanical and surface properties can be harnessed to transform an array of anchored nanofibers into a variety of complex, hierarchically organized dynamic functional surfaces. We show that the delicate balance between fiber elasticity and surface adhesion plays a critical role in determining the shape, chirality, and hierarchy of the assembled structures. We further report a strategy for controlling the long-range order of fiber assemblies by manipulating the shape and movement of the liquid-vapor interface. Our study provides fundamental understanding of the pattern formation by self-organization of bioinspired fibrous surfaces. Moreover, our new strategies offer a foundation for designing a vast assortment of functional surfaces with adhesive, optical, water-repellent, capture and release, and many more capabilities with the structural and dynamic sophistication of their biological counterparts.

Abstract:

The racial composition of the school workforce is the product of a complex interaction of social forces. School constituencies such as parents, students, and teachers impact new leader preferences. Their ideas influence decisions regarding who fits into school administration and who doesn't (Williams & Loeb, 2012). These "fit" preferences can shape school district ethos, which then influences access to social networks (Tooms, 2010). Limited entry to these networks may produce multiple disadvantages, particularly for Black educators. One way to think of this access is through the concept of containment. Restricted data from the 2011-12 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) will be used to detect containment trends: The set of systemic barriers organizational members encounter in pursuit of access to organizational resources critical to job effectiveness and career advancement. Left unchallenged, glass barriers in employment may reinforce pejorative judgments of minorities, isolating them in high stress, and low autonomy positions (Feagin, 2006).

Abstract:

The present study is an assessment of archaeological evidence obtained from systematical archaeological surveys conducted in the territory of Klazomenai, which is one of the Ionian poleis located on Urla-Ç
esme peninsula at Izmir. The main objective of the study is to explain the polis formation process in Klazomenai from Early Iron Age to Roman period with the aid archaeological evidence in the light of historical and epigraphical evidence. I here discuss the polis formation through the concepts of urbanization and state formation, which are defined as the subset processes of polis formation within the context of the study. The settlement patterns for each archaeological period from Early Iron Age period to Roman Period are defined with the aid of spatial analysis and GIS analysis are also integrated for determining the parameters for site choice for being able to explain the dynamics that caused the shifts in settlement patterns. Methods are applied for estimating the land potential and demographic trends as well, which are complementary concepts of settlement patterns. Within the context of the work also Greek polis as a concept is discussed since the subject of the work is an Ionan polis. Archaeological survey as a method also discussed for being the method for obtaining the raw data of the work. The study consists of mainly six chapters including the conclusion and three appendices. First chapter includes the scope and the objectives of the work as well as the nature of the evidence. In the second chapter the methods of analyses are explained and discussed. Third chapter is merely confined to discussions revolving around the concept of polis and the terminology used. Fourth chapter includes a brief history of settlement and the complementary archaeological evidence provided with the archaeological excavations conducted at the settlement center. Fifth chapter consists of the assessment of the evidence and the application of methods and results, whereas the final chapter is the conclusion of the study.
