Повний текст джерелаTheme: “System for evaluating the solvency of individuals using regression analysis methods”. Master's thesis explanatory note: 107 p., 32 fig., 32 tab., 5 appendices, 19 sources. Actuality: the consumer lending market is growing rapidly in Ukraine. However, along with this, the number of unreturned loans is increasing, which causes quite large losses to banking institutions. Thus, the development and application of systems for assessing the creditworthiness of individuals in the process of making a decision on the issuance of a loan are actual for today. The purpose of this work is to study and improve existing methods of constructing scoring models and to develop a decision support system for assessing the creditworthiness of individuals using the method of logistic regression. The object of the study is a set of statistical data on consumer loans provided by the bank to individuals. Methods of research: logistic regression method, maximum likelihood method, gradient descent method, operations on matrices. The software product was implemented using the C# programming language in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 development environment. For a comparative analysis of the results were built models as decision trees and scorecard in the SAS Enterprise Miner system. Obtained results: a decision support system was developed for predicting the creditworthiness of individuals using the logistic regression method and the maximum likelihood method. The method of using categorical data in regression models is proposed.

Повний текст джерелаIn computer simulations of communication systems, linear congruential generators and shift registers are typically used to model noise and data sources. These generators are often assumed to be close to ideal (i.e. delta correlated), and an insignificant source of error in the simulation results. The samples generated by these algorithms have non-ideal autocorrelation functions, which may cause a non-uniform distribution in the data or noise signals. This error may cause the simulation bit-error-rate (BER) to be artificially high or low. In this paper, the problem is described through the use of confidence intervals. Tests are performed on several pseudo-random generators to access which ones are acceptable for computer simulation.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Although a numerical model of the mirror support truss of the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) has already been developed during the design thereof, this thesis focuses on the development of the methods and techniques that would result in a more accurate numerical model of the actual structure that could be used as a basis for a numerical control system. This control system will compensate for de ections in the structure by adjusting the positioning of the individual mirror segments of the primary mirror. The two main components from which the support truss is constructed are the steel nodes, and the struts that connect to them. For this project a smaller, simpler laboratory model was designed and built to have geometrical properties similar to that of the support truss. The methods and techniques that were investigated were carried out on this model. By using numerical design optimisation techniques, improved numerical models of the different strut types were obtained. This was done by performing tests on the struts so that the actual responses of the struts could be obtained. Numerical models of the struts were then created and set up so that they could be optimised using structural optimisation software. Once accurate strut models had been obtained, these strut models were used to construct a numerical model of the assembled structure. No additional optimisation was performed on the assembled structure and tests were done on the physical structure to obtain its responses. These served as validation criteria for the numerical models of the struts. Because of unforeseen deformations of the structure, not all of the measured structural responses could be used. The remaining results showed, however, that the predictive accuracy of the top node displacement of the assembled structure improved to below 1.5%, from over 60%. From these results it was concluded that the accuracy of the entire structure's numerical model could be signi ficantly improved by optimising the individual strut types.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Alhoewel daar reeds 'n numeriese model van die spieëlondersteuningsraamwerk van SALT ontwikkel is gedurende die ontwerp daarvan, fokus hierdie tesis op die ontwikkeling van metodes en tegnieke om 'n numeriese model van steeds hoër gehalte van hierdie spesi eke struktuur te verkry wat kan gebruik word as 'n basis vir 'n numeriese beheerstelsel. Hierdie beheerstelsel sal kan kompenseer vir die ondersteuningsraamwerk se vervormings deur om die individuele spieëlsegmente van die primêre spieël se posisionering te verstel. Hierdie stuktuur bestaan uit hoofsaaklik twee komponente, naamlik staalnodusse en die stutte wat aan hulle koppel. Vir hierdie projek is 'n kleiner, eenvoudiger laboratorium-model ontwerp en gebou om geometriese eienskappe soortgelyk aan die van die ondersteuningstruktuur te hê. Die metodes en tegnieke wat ondersoek is, is op hierdie model uitgevoer. Verbeterde numeriese modelle van die verskillende stut-tipes is ontwikkel deur middel van numerieseoptimeringstegnieke. Dit is gedoen deur toetse op die stutte uit te voer sodat hul werklike gedrag bepaal kon word. Numeriese modelle van die stutte is toe geskep en opgestel sodat hulle geoptimeer kon word om dieselfde gedrag as wat gemeet is, te toon. Hierdie geoptimeerde modelle is toe gebruik om numeriese modelle van die toets-struktuur te skep. Geen verdere optimering is op die numeriese model uitgevoer nie en toetse is op die struktuur gedoen om sy werklike gedrag te meet. Data wat deur die toetse verkry is het as validasie kriteria gedien om die akkuraatheid van die numeriese modelle van die stut-tipes te bepaal. Weens die struktuur se onvoorsiene vervorming kon alle gemete struktuurdata nie gebruik word nie. Die oorblywende data het egter getoon dat die akkuraatheid van die finale numeriese modelle van die struktuur verbeter het en dat dit die translasie van die top-node met 'n speling van 1.5% akkuraatheid kon voorspel, teenoor die oorsponlike speling van meer as 60%. Daar is bevind dat die akkuraatheid van die numeriese model van die hele struktuur noemenswaardig verbeter kan word deur die numeriese modelle van die stut-tipes te optimeer.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: With developed economies experiencing slow growth, multinational corporations (MNCs) in various industries are looking to tap into the enormous potential of emerging economies. By identifying emerging markets as future markets, MNCs can increase their market share and profits, and grow through a diversified strategy that focuses on unconventional markets and customers with unserved needs. However, MNCs entering these markets cannot succeed by simply transferring business models, products, and services developed for mature economies as the needs of the new consumers in emerging markets require innovative and non-traditional business models and approaches. The research question for this study is to investigate if and to what level MNCs have to adapt their business model when entering or expanding their operations to emerging markets. Therefore, research has been done on four MNCs across a diverse range of industries. For collecting data, the research made use of a qualitative case-study research approach and is based primarily on findings from four in-depth interviews with strategy or marketing experts from MNCs across industries. Further information was obtained through deep research on publicly available information about the company. The research aimed to identify similarities in the business model of successful pioneers and to analyse common principles that could be of use for other MNCs when planning to enter unknown emerging markets. The interviews were conducted personally, telephonically, and via email. In a next step, the interviews were transcribed and common themes were extracted and combined with findings from further research. For collecting and ordering the information, Osterwalder & Pigneur’s (2010) business model canvas was applied. Finally, the findings were grouped, formulated and compared to existing literature in order to identify similarities, common principles or differences for new output propositions. The primary finding of the research was that specific factors, such as the difference in market conditions and environments, as well as in consumer preferences and needs, strongly influence the design of business models. A key differentiating factor was the choice between keeping traditional business models with a focus on global and centralized systems, processes, brands and products or designing business models that are adjusted or innovated to meet local market conditions and consumer trends. Another key finding was that a balanced portfolio of brands is a critical factor of success in emerging markets. To reach different market segments in emerging markets, MNCs need to offer mainstream as well as premium brands, all based on a strong brand identity and brand values. The partnership with local business partners and key stakeholders was identified as fundamental to be able to react to local business environments. Furthermore, the integration of local suppliers and communities, as well as the adjustment of the value chain to the local environment, has been seen as a key factor to reduce costs while gaining acceptance and building close relationships with the local community. In order to overcome local challenges of institutional voids and lacking knowledge in emerging markets, the research has shown that a collaborative strategy with local partners is of high importance. The research showed that MNCs with global brands follow both approaches. While some MNCs maintain a traditional business model for all its markets, other MNCs design their business model based on standardized systems and processes to the local environment. In terms of the level of innovation, it can be said that none of the researched MNCs showed an extremely high level of innovation. Common principles and activities that could be identified in the business model design for emerging markets between all researched MNCs, are as follows: (1) balanced portfolio of strong brands, (2) strong partnerships with local key stakeholders, (3) loyal relationships with consumers, (4) an efficient and cost-effective value chain, and (5) collaborative partnerships or acquisitions as a critical market entry strategy.

Introduction -- Literature review -- Identification of the unit of translation -- Towards a model for standardized TQA -- Mean criteria of the world -- Creating the mark deduction scheme -- Testing the model -- Applying the model -- Conclusion.
Translation quality assessment (TQA) has been part of the translating process since Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43BCE), and earnest studies on TQA have been conducted for several decades, but there has been no breakthrough in standardized TQA. Though the importance of TQA has been stressed, agreement on specific means of TQA has not been reached. As Chesterman and Wagner summarize, "Central to translation [...]," "[q]uality assessment is so complicated - especially if it is to be objective and reproducible" (2002: 80-81). The approaches to TQA published throughout the past millennia, by and large, are qualitative. "Whereas there is general agreement on the requirement for a translation to be 'good,' 'satisfactory,' or 'acceptable,' the definition of acceptability and of the means of determining it are matters of ongoing debate and there is precious little agreement on specifics" (Williams, 2004: xiv). Most published TQA approaches are neither objective nor reproducible. -- My study proposes a model for fuzzy standardized TQA through a quantitative approach, which expresses TQA results in numerical terms in a consistent manner. My model is statistics-based, practice-based and practice-oriented. It has been independently tested by eleven professors from four countries, fifteen senior United Nations translators, and fifty reader evaluators. My contrastive analysis of 23,000 pages of bilingual and multilingual texts has identified the unit of translation - the orthographic sentence in context, which is also verified by the results of an international survey among 66 professional translators, the majority of whom also confirm that they evaluate translations sentence by sentence in context. Halliday and Matthiessen's functional grammar theory, among others, provides my model for quantitative TQA with its theoretical basis, while the international survey, the necessary data. My model proposes a set of six Fuzzy Functional Translation Grammar terms, a grammar concept general enough to cover all grammar units in the translated orthographic sentence. Each term represents one type of error which contains from one to three sub-categories. Each error is assigned a value - the mean of the professional markers' deductions for relevant artificial errors and original errors. A marking scheme with sixteen variables under eight attributes is thus created. Ten marks are assigned to each unit of TQA, the sentence. For easy calculation, an arithmetic formula popularly used in statistics (Ex/n ) is adopted. With the assistance of a simple calculator, the evaluator can calculate the grade of a sentence, a sentence group, and the overall grade for an entire TT, regardless of its length. -- Perfect reliability or validity in any form of measurement is unattainable. There will always be some random error or noise in the data (McClendon, 2004: 7). Since it is the first of its type, I do not claim that my model is perfect. Variation has been found in the results of the testing performed by scholars and professional translators, but further testing based on two "easy" (markers' comment) sentences by the 50 reader evaluators respectively achieves 98% and 100% consistency, which indicates that markers' competence may equal constancy or that proper marker training and/or strict marker examination will minimize inconsistency among professional markers. My model, whose formulas withstand testing at the theoretical level and in practice, is not only ready for application, but it has profound implications beyond TQA, such as use in machine translation, and for other subjects like the role of the sentence in translation studies and translating practice.

Повний текст джерелаI argue that the intellectual origins of Johnsonian standard English lie in Sir Edward Coke's early seventeenth-century restatement of common law doctrine and terms. Salient issues are common law's need to give an account of its antiquated, medieval vocabulary and its place in the constitutional conflict of the seventeenth century. I give an account of other possible influences on Johnson--Latin and English grammars, pedagogy, philosophical speculation on the nature of language, English prose styles, and proposals for an English academy or similar reform--but cannot find in any of them a sufficiently close conceptual parallel.

Повний текст джерелаVissa klimatmodeller saknar fortfarande funktioner så som dynamisk modellering av istäcken på grund av dess höga beräkningskostnad, vilket resulterar låg noggrannhet och uppskattningar av t.ex. havsnivåhöjning. Behovet av enkla modeller med hög noggrannhet satte igång utvecklingen av den s.k. Första Ordningens Stokes (eller Blatter-Pattyn) modellen. Denna modell behåller mycket av noggrannheten i den mer exakta full-Stokes-modellen men är också väldigt kostnadseffektiv. Denna modell har visat sig vara noggrann för istäcken och glaciärer med frusna berggrunder eller s.k. no-slip randvillkor. Experimentella bevis tycks dock saknas med avseende på dess noggrannhet under glidning, eller stressfria, berggrundsförhållanden (t.ex. vid ishyllor). Därför ville vi undersöka detta. Numeriska experiment upprättades genom att formulera Blatter-Pattyn ekvatonerna som ett variationsproblem (via finita elementmetoden), följt av att implementera dem med hjälp av den öppna källkoden FEniCS. Två typer av geometrier användes med både glidande och stressfria basala randvillkor. Specifikt användes experiment B och D från Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for Higher-Order ice sheet Models (ISMIP-HOM) för att testa modellen. Lokala fel undersöktes och en konvergensanalys utfördes för båda experimenten. Resultaten gav ett modellfel på ca 0,06 % för ISMIP-HOM B och 0,006 % för ISMIP-HOM D, vilka var mest relaterade till de olika typerna av geometrier som användes. Fel i stressfria regioner var större och varierade i storleksordningen 1 %. Detta ansågs vara ganska noggrant och sannolikt tillräckligt för att ersätta modeller så som Shallow Shelf Approximationen med Blatter-Pattyn-modellen i vissa regioner. Dock krävs mer noggranna tester med mer verkliga geometrier för att dra konkreta slutsatser. Också anmärkningsvärt var motsägande resultat i den vertikala hastigheten under glidande förhållanden (ISMIP-HOM D) som antingen kan ha berott på kodningsfel eller ett modelproblem som härstammar utifrån särkopplingen mellan den horizontella- och den vertikala hastigheten i Blatter-Pattyn-modellen. Detta bör undersökas vidare.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: The utilisation of human capital and its impact on organisational performance must rank as one of the key managerial concerns III South Africa. The message from international competitive studies is clear: corporations become competitive when people and practices change. The global market has exposed the lack of competitive strength and effectiveness of South African corporations. Against this background, managing complex organisations in the private and public sector remains a daunting, pervasive and urgent task. By focusing on issues of organisational behaviour and global competitiveness, the study aims to contribute to the development of competitive (effective) corporations in South Africa. It is important to keep in mind that the present investigation was an exploratory study attempting to add to the body of knowledge about competitiveness. It aimed to enhance existing studies on global competitiveness and organisational effectiveness and open up possibilities for new management strategies and interventions as well as further research. In particular, it builds on previous work on the impact of organisational behaviour on performance. An extremely important development in the study of corporate culture has been proof that that the normative structure (corporate culture) has a significant impact on the performance of an organisation. Because of this impact, corporate culture has to be regarded as one of the key success factors in any corporation. Corporate culture is however no end in itself, but must be regarded as a hermeneutical key (interpretative) to corporate performance. The success of the corporation takes precedence over all other aspects of the organisation, even over its culture. The framework of corporate culture and competitiveness links patterns of behaviour and management practices with underlying assumptions, beliefs and values. It provides a clear description of the integrative mechanisms and dimensions of corporate culture and the way in which they impact on competitiveness. These behavioural factors are key determinants of organisational performance because of the close link between patterns of behaviour and underlying core values and beliefs. The model also defines the elements (people, change, projects, control) that need to be managed, as well as the traits (adaptability and innovation, mission, involvement, consistency) of the culture which determines the performance of the corporation. In terms of the corporate culture and competitiveness framework, the management activity of developing a set of common or core values is therefore a good starting point for any culture intervention strategy aimed at enhancing competitiveness (performance). A shared system of beliefs, values and symbols widely understood by an organisation's members has a positive impact on their ability to reach consensus and carry out coordinated actions. This impact, as well as the nature of the culture of the corporation has to be understood by everybody in the organisation. It also has to assist them in making sense of corporate life in such a manner that it creates opportunities for everyone to impact on the performance of the corporation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die bestuur van menslike hulpbronne en die impak daarvan op organisatoriese prestasie is een van die kern bestuursvraagstukke in Suid-Afrika. Die internasionale boodskap oor mededingendheid is duidelik. Organisasies se mededingendheid verander wanneer mense en praktyke verander. Oor die algemeen vaar Suid-Afrikaanse organisasies redelik swak in die internasional mark weens 'n gebrek aan kompeterendheid en effektiwiteit. Dit is duidelik dat in hierdie lig, die bestuur van komplekse organisasies 'n uitdagende ontwykende maar dringende uitdaging aan bestuur is. Deur op organisatoriese gedrag en internasionale kompeterendheid te fokus, poog die studie om 'n bydrae te maak tot die ontwikkeling van kompeterende (effektiewe) organisasies in Suid-Afrika. Dit is belangrik om in gedagte te hou dat die studie van ondersoekende aard was en om daardeur verdere insig in kompeterendheid te verkry. Dit poog om by bestaande studies oor internasionale kompeterendheid en organisatoriese doeltreffendheid aan te sluit ten einde nuwe bestuursintervensies en strategië te ontwikkel en terselfdertyd rigting vir verdere navorsing aan te dui. Dit bou in besonder op vorige studies oor die impak van organisatoriese gedrag op doeltreffendheid. 'n Belangrike ontiwkkeling in die studie van korporatiewe kultuur was die bevinding dat die normatiewe struktuur (korporatiewe kultuur) 'n insiggewende impak op die prestasie van organisasies het. As gevolg van hierdie verhouding, moet korporatiewe kultuur as een van die sleutel sukses faktore in enige organisasie beskou word. Korporatiewe kultuur bly egter altyd slegs 'n middel tot die bereiking van doelwitte en nooit as die doel self nie. Dit moet daarom beskou word as 'n hermeneutiese (verklarende) sleutel tot organisatoriese doeltreffendheid. Die prestasie van enige organisasie moet voorkeur geniet bo all ander aspekte van die organisasie, selfs die korporatiewe kultuur. Die raamwerk van korporatiewe kultuur en doeltreffendheid verklaar die interaksie tussen die onderafdelings van kultuur en die organisasie se doeltreffendheid. Die aannames, oortuigings en waardesisteme van 'n organisasie vorm die basis van 'n stel bestuurspraktyke en gedragspatrone. Hierdie gedragspatrone is sleutelfaktore tot organisasie doeltreffendheid as gevolg van die noue verband tussen die gedrag en die onderliggende waardesisteem. Die raamwerk identifiseer die elemente (mense, verandering, projekte en kontrole) as die elemente wat bestuur moet word, sowel as vier meganismes (betrokkenheid, aanpasbaarheid en vernuwing/innovasie, konsekwentheid en doelgerigtheid/rigtingaanwysing) van kultuur wat die doeltreffendheid van die organisasie bepaal. Korporatiewe kultuurintervensie strategië, gemik op prestasieverbetering, behoort in terme van die korporatiewe kultuur en doeltreffendheidsraamwerk by die ontwikkeling van 'n stel gedeelde of kernwaardes te begin. 'n Gedeelde sisteem van oortuiginge, waardes en simbole wat deur alle lede van die organisasie verstaan en aanvaar word, sal 'n sterk en positiewe uitwerking op die vermoë om konsensus en gekoordineerde optrede te bereik, hê. Hierdie uitwerking asook die aard van die kultuur van die organisasie moet deur almal in die organisasie verstaan word. Dit moet hulle ook in staat stel om die organisasie se keuse van prioriteite te verstaan en daardeur geleenthede vir almal te skep om 'n impak op die doeltreffendheid van die organisasie te hê.

Повний текст джерелаIn 1957, the Treaty of Rome was signed by six West European states to create the European Economic Community (EEC). Designed to foster a common internal market for a limited amount of industrial goods and to define a customs union within the Six, it did not at the time particularly stand out among contemporary international organizations. However, by 1992, within the space of a single generation, this initially limited trade zone had been dramatically expanded into the world's largest trade bloc and had pooled substantial sovereignty among its member states on a range of core state responsibilities. Most remarkably, this transformation resulted from a thoroughly novel political experiment that combined traditional interstate cooperation among its growing membership with an unprecedented transfer of sovereignty to centralized institutions. Though still lacking the traditional institutions and legitimacy of a fully-fledged state, in many policy areas, the European Union (EU) that emerged in 1992 was nonetheless collectively a global force. My dissertation argues that the organization's unprecedented transfer of national sovereignty challenged the very definition of the modern European state and its function. In structure and ambition, it represented far more than just a regional trade bloc among independent states: it became a unique political entity that effectively remodelled the fundamental blueprint of the conventional European state structure familiar to scholars for generations. How did such a dramatic transformation happen so quickly? I argue that three forces in particular were at play: the external pressures of globalization, the search for a new Western European and German identity within the Cold War world and the often unintended consequences of the interaction between member state governments and the Community's supranational institutions. In particular, I examine the history of the EEC's monetary union, common foreign policy, common social policy and the single market to explain the impact of the above forces of change on the EEC's rapid transformation

This study addresses the current debate about the existence of an organizational model in liberated companies, which impacts its generalization and its transmission over time. Our purpose is to determine whether there is any consistency across the various organizational patterns in liberated companies. To reach this goal, 114 liberated organizations and twenty-five of their primary organizational patterns were identified in the literature. Then, a survey was sent to these 114 organizations to see how consistent these twenty-five patterns were across the universe. Data was collected from thirty-nine answers out of these 114 targeted companies. This data led to identifying eleven features that were present in most of the thirty-nine liberated companies who completed the questionnaire. Ten other patterns were found in the majority of the sample, while four patterns were identified as scarce. It was also determined that larger corporations operate differently. The analysis that was conducted will help leaders to understand the features of liberated companies.
Esta dissertação aborda o debate sobre a existência de um modelo organizacional em empresas inovadoras ('liberated companies'). O objetivo é determinar se há qualquer consistência entre os vários padrões organizacionais de empresas inovadoras. Para responder essa questão, primeiro foi identificado na literatura 114 empresas inovadoras (liberated companies) e listado vinte e cinco características organizacionais presentes nessas empresas. Foi enviada uma pesquisa para as 114 empresas identificadas, para verificar a consistência (ou não) dos vinte e cinco características organizacionais. Foram coletados dados de 39 das 114 empresas. A análise dos resultados indicou que onze características estavam presentes na maioria das 39 empresas que completaram o questionário. Dez outros padrões foram encontrados na maioria da amostra, enquanto quatro padrões foram identificados como raros. Também foi identificado uma maneira diferente de funcionamento para empresas maiores. A análise realizada será útil para empresários que queiram compreender melhor quais são as características organizacionais presentes nas 'liberated company'.

Повний текст джерелаIn the wake of sequestration, Test and Evaluation (T&E) groups across the U.S. are quickly learning to make do with less. For Department of Defense ranges and test facility bases in particular, the timing of sequestration could not be worse. Aging optical tracking systems are in dire need of replacement. What's more, the increasingly challenging missions of today require advanced technology, flexibility, and agility to support an ever-widening spectrum of scenarios, including short-range (0 − 5 km) imaging of launch events, long-range (50 km+) imaging of debris fields, directed energy testing, high-speed tracking, and look-down coverage of ground test scenarios, to name just a few. There is a pressing need for optical tracking systems that can be operated on a limited budget with minimal resources, staff, and maintenance, while simultaneously increasing throughput and data quality. Here we present a mathematical error model to predict system performance. We compare model predictions to site-acceptance test results collected from a pair of multi-band optical tracking systems (MBOTS) fielded at White Sands Missile Range. A radar serves as a point of reference to gauge system results. The calibration data and the triangulation solutions obtained during testing provide a characterization of system performance. The results suggest that the optical tracking system error model adequately predicts system performance, thereby supporting pre-mission analysis and conserving scarce resources for innovation and development of robust solutions. Along the way, we illustrate some methods of time-space-position information (TSPI) data analysis, define metrics for assessing system accuracy, and enumerate error sources impacting measurements. We conclude by describing technical challenges ahead and identifying a path forward.
