Abstract:

Over the years, there has been an exponential increase in the capabilities of networks, evolving from wired networks to wireless, and finally moving towards 4G networks. This evolution has brought forth many ways in which a user can access any service, particularly accessing the Internet. From emailing and social networking to file transferring, users are on a constant venture to exploit the advantages as much as possible. Predictions show that the demand will only increase with increasing number of mobile devices and subscribers. It becomes clearer that there will be rapid growth in the deman

Ces dernières années, un grand nombre de travaux ont souligné la primauté des institutions dans les processus de croissance et de développement. Dans la lignée de cette littérature, cette thèse se propose d’étudier les conséquences macroéconomiques de deux phénomènes traduisant une qualité institutionnelle dégradée : la corruption et l’évasion fiscale. Ainsi, dans le chapitre 1, nous analysons comment la qualité institutionnelle affecte de manière non-linéaire la relation entre la corruption et la croissance.

Propelled by the explosive increases in mobile data traffic volume, existing wireless technologies are stretched to their capacity limits. There is a tremendous need for an expansion in system capacity and an improvement on energy efficiency. In addition, wireless network will support more and more multimedia services and applications, in which user experience has been always an important factor in evaluating the overall network performance. In order to keep pace with this explosion of data traffic and to meet the emerging quality of experience needs, wireless heterogeneous networks have been

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the organizational and environmental correlates of hospital EMR use and to examine the relationship between hospital EMR use and performance. Using a theoretical framework that combines resource dependence theory with Donabedian's structure, process, outcome model, a conceptual model is created. To test the hypotheses of this model, logistic regression and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) are used. The data included in this analysis come from the AHA, HIMSS, CMS, ARF, and HQA.

The relationship between technical efficiency and quality of care in hospitals is studied in the context of resource availability in hospital organizations.

Organizational threat as an environmental factor affecting the level of slack is measured by the level of competition and regulation. Organizational slac

Development of unconventional livestock, such as goats, is advocated as a means of increasing global meat production and consumption. Although South Africa possesses large numbers of domestic ruminants, meat consumption has been limited mainly to sheep and cattle. Goats are used to a lesser extent.

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>財務金融研究所碩士在職專班<br>104<br>This paper focuses on the relationship between internal control quality and internal capital allocation efficiency in conglomerate firms.

In this study we use internal control quality as a measure of the quality of internal information, and examine whether internal control quality affects internal capital allocation efficiency, using
