Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of ERP in Higher Education Institutions

Recently, ERP implementation has been transformed from the business side into educational side. The failure implementation of ERP in higher education is referred to many factors. In addition to the increment of the level of risk that invoked on the study of ERP, the study of critical success factors has great effects on making system fail or success in implementation. Despite of efforts that had been done to enhance the implementation of ERP; it still suffers from failure, especially in higher education. The present study investigates that ERP system will succeed if we employ a set of factors such as clear vision and objectives, top management support and commitment, clear business process, information flow and organizational structure, budget size and cost, integrated department and solve the problem of human resources management, project management, training and education, careful change management and effective communication and connection in ERP higher education system. According to the preliminary results of this study, these factors help in successful implementation of ERP in higher education. Keywords— ERP, CSFs, Higher education, Successful ERP implementation, institutions.
Searoðonca Hord: Alfred’s Translation of Gregory the Great’s Regula Pastoralis

This chapter summarizes the earlier Anglo-Saxon and especially Continental reception of the Latin Regula pastoralis and the state of research on the Latin text. A section on the Pastoral Care begins with a survey of the surviving manuscripts and their relation, which reveals the author's pragmatic, yet self-confident approach and contributes to the subsequent discussion of the intended audience. The linguistic status of the body of the translation is then summarized briefly, which gives us valuable hints at the cultural climate during Alfred's reign and leads to the question of authorship. The chapter presents an outlook on the reception of the Pastoral Care in late Anglo-Saxon England. It evaluates the profound influence that Gregory's work had on Alfred's political and ethical thought: The Regula pastoralis must be understood as the ultimate inspiration for Alfred's plans for cultural and spiritual reform. Keywords: Alfred the Great; Anglo-Saxon England; Gregory's Regula Pastoralis ; Pastoral Care
Complexity Leadership Theory : Shifting leadership from the industrial age to the knowledge era ☆

Leadership models of the last century have been products of top-down, bureaucratic paradigms. These models are eminently effective for an economy premised on physical production but are not well-suited for a more knowledge-oriented economy. Complexity science suggests a different paradigm for leadership—one that frames leadership as a complex interactive dynamic from which adaptive outcomes (e.g., learning, innovation, and adaptability) emerge. This article draws from complexity science to develop an overarching framework for the study of Complexity Leadership Theory, a leadership paradigm that focuses on enabling the learning, creative, and adaptive capacity of complex adaptive systems (CAS) within a context of knowledge-producing organizations. This conceptual framework includes three entangled leadership roles (i.e., adaptive leadership, administrative leadership, and enabling leadership) that reflect a dynamic relationship between the bureaucratic, administrative functions of the organization and the emergent, informal dynamics of complex adaptive systems (CAS). © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Grounding and Solving in Answer Set Programming

modeling language with effective grounding and solving technology. Moreover, ASP is highly versatile by offering various elaborate language constructs and a whole spectrum of reasoning modes. The work flow of ASP is illustrated in figure 1. At first, a problem is expressed as a logic program. A grounder systematically replaces all variables in the program by (variable-free) terms, and the solver takes the resulting propositional program and computes its answer sets (or aggregations of them). ASP’s success is largely due to the availability of a rich modeling language (Gebser and Schaub 2016) along with effective systems. Early ASP solvers SModels (Simons, Niemelä, and Soininen 2002) and DLV (Leone et al. 2006) were followed by SAT1-based ones, such as ASSAT (Lin and Zhao 2004) and Cmodels (Giunchiglia, Lierler, and Maratea 2006), before genuine conflict-driven ASP solvers such as clasp (Gebser, Kaufmann, and Schaub 2012a) and WASP (Alviano et al. 2015) emerged. In addition, there is a continued interest in mapping ASP onto solving technology in neighboring fields, like SAT or even MIP2 (Janhunen, Niemelä, and Sevalnev 2009; Liu, Janhunen, and Niemelä 2012), and in the automatic selection of the appropriate solver by heuristics (Maratea, Pulina, and Ricca 2014).

HOUSING BOOMS AND BUSTS , LABOR MARKET OPPORTUNITIES , AND COLLEGE ATTENDANCE *

We study how the recent housing boom and bust affected college enrollment during the 2000s. We exploit cross-city variation in local housing booms, which improved labor market opportunities for young men and women. We find that the boom substantially lowered college enrollment, with effects concentrated at two-year colleges. The decline in enrollment during the boom was generally reversed during the bust; however, attainment remains persistently low for particular cohorts, suggesting that reduced educational attainment is an enduring effect of the recent housing cycle. We estimate that the housing boom explains roughly 30 percent of the recent slowdown in college attainment.

Acceptance of Internet-based learning medium: the role of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation

This study is one of the few attempts to investigate students’ acceptance of an Internet-based learning medium (ILM). By integrating a motivational perspective into the technology acceptance model, our model captured both extrinsic (perceived usefulness and ease of use) and intrinsic (perceived enjoyment) motivators for explaining students’ intention to use the new learning medium. Data collected from 544 undergraduate students were examined through the LISREL VIII framework. The results showed that both perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment significantly and directly impacted their intention to use ILM. Surprisingly, perceive ease of use did not posit a significant impact on student attitude or intention towards ILM usage. Implications of this study are important for both researchers and practitioners. # 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Endovascular Revascularization and Supervised Exercise for Peripheral Artery Disease and Intermittent Claudication: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

IMPORTANCE
Supervised exercise is recommended as a first-line treatment for intermittent claudication. Combination therapy of endovascular revascularization plus supervised exercise may be more promising but few data comparing the 2 therapies are available.


OBJECTIVE
To assess the effectiveness of endovascular revascularization plus supervised exercise for intermittent claudication compared with supervised exercise only.


DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS
Randomized clinical trial of 212 patients allocated to either endovascular revascularization plus supervised exercise or supervised exercise only. Data were collected between May 17, 2010, and February 16, 2013, in the Netherlands at 10 sites. Patients were followed up for 12 months and the data were analyzed according to the intention-to-treat principle.


INTERVENTIONS
A combination of endovascular revascularization (selective stenting) plus supervised exercise (n = 106) or supervised exercise only (n = 106).


MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES
The primary end point was the difference in maximum treadmill walking distance at 12 months between the groups. Secondary end points included treadmill pain-free walking distance, vascular quality of life (VascuQol) score (1 [worst outcome] to 7 [best outcome]), and 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) domain scores for physical functioning, physical role functioning, bodily pain, and general health perceptions (0 [severe limitation] to 100 [no limitation]).


RESULTS
Endovascular revascularization plus supervised exercise (combination therapy) was associated with significantly greater improvement in maximum walking distance (from 264 m to 1501 m for an improvement of 1237 m) compared with the supervised exercise only group (from 285 m to 1240 m for improvement of 955 m) (mean difference between groups, 282 m; 99% CI, 60-505 m) and in pain-free walking distance (from 117 m to 1237 m for an improvement of 1120 m vs from 135 m to 847 m for improvement of 712 m, respectively) (mean difference, 408 m; 99% CI, 195-622 m). Similarly, the combination therapy group demonstrated significantly greater improvement in the disease-specific VascuQol score (1.34 [99% CI, 1.04-1.64] in the combination therapy group vs 0.73 [99% CI, 0.43-1.03] in the exercise group; mean difference, 0.62 [99% CI, 0.20-1.03]) and in the score for the SF-36 physical functioning (22.4 [99% CI, 16.3-28.5] vs 12.6 [99% CI, 6.3-18.9], respectively; mean difference, 9.8 [99% CI, 1.4-18.2]). No significant differences were found for the SF-36 domains of physical role functioning, bodily pain, and general health perceptions.


CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE
Among patients with intermittent claudication after 1 year of follow-up, a combination therapy of endovascular revascularization followed by supervised exercise resulted in significantly greater improvement in walking distances and health-related quality-of-life scores compared with supervised exercise only.

Efficacy and safety of flupirtine modified release for the management of moderate to severe chronic low back pain: results of SUPREME, a prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled parallel-group phase IV study.

OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate non-inferior/superior efficacy of flupirtine modified release (MR) compared with tramadol/placebo for the management of moderate to severe chronic low back pain (LBP).


RESEARCH DESIGN
Randomized, double-blind, active-/placebo-controlled double-dummy multicenter study, performed in 31 German study centers. LBP patients (n = 363) with moderate pain intensity were randomized 1:1:1 to receive flupirtine MR 400 mg, tramadol extended release (ER) 200 mg, or matching placebo (each given OD in the evening) over 4 weeks.


CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION
EudraCT 2009-013268-38.


MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
Primary endpoint was change from baseline in the LBP intensity index (LBPIX; 11-point NRS) at week 4; last observation carried forward was used to impute missing scores.


RESULTS
Least square (LS) mean ± SD LBPIX changes from baseline at week 4 were clinically significant for all three treatment groups of the intent-to-treat (ITT) and the per-protocol (PP) population (n = 326/276): placebo (n = 110/96): -1.81 ± 1.65/-1.77 ± 1.59; flupirtine MR (n = 109/95): -2.23 ± 1.73/-2.28 ± 1.68; and tramadol ER (n = 107/85): -1.92 ± 1.84/2.03 ± 1.83 (p < 0.001 for each). ITT/PP treatment effects for flupirtine MR were non-inferior when compared with tramadol ER and superior when compared with placebo (p = 0.003/0.033). Significantly more ITT patients treated with flupirtine MR (59.6/37.6 showed a ≥30/50% LBPIX relief in comparison to placebo (46.4/24.6%; p vs. flupirtine MR: 0.049/0.037). Treatment contrasts for tramadol failed to reach significance vs. placebo. Within the safety population (n = 355), flupirtine MR (n = 119) was associated with a significantly lower incidence of treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs; 21.0%) and TEAE-related study discontinuations (3.4%) than tramadol ER (n = 116; 34.5/12.0%; p = 0.039/0.017) and exhibited an overall safety/tolerability profile non-inferior to placebo (n = 120; 15.8/3.3%; p = ns for each). Major limitations of this study were the short treatment duration, the comparison of different drug classes and the lack of a titration phase.


CONCLUSIONS
The analgesic efficacy of flupirtine MR 400 mg OD was comparable to that of tramadol ER 200 mg OD and superior to that of placebo.
A TCAS-II Resolution Advisory Detection Algorithm

The Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is a family of airborne systems designed to reduce the risk of mid-air collisions between aircraft. TCAS II, the current generation of TCAS devices, provides resolution advisories that direct pilots to maintain or increase vertical separation when aircraft distance and time parameters are beyond designed system thresholds. This paper presents a mathematical model of the TCAS II Resolution Advisory (RA) logic that assumes accurate aircraft state information. Based on this model, an algorithm for RA detection is also presented. This algorithm is analogous to a conflict detection algorithm, but instead of predicting loss of separation, it predicts resolution advisories. It has been formally verified that for a kinematic model of aircraft trajectories, this algorithm completely and correctly characterizes all encounter geometries between two aircraft that lead to a resolution advisory within a given lookahead time interval. The RA detection algorithm proposed in this paper is a fundamental component of a NASA sense and avoid concept for the integration of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in civil airspace.
Clinical Recommendation: Labial Adhesions.

Labial adhesions, also known as labial agglutination, are a common finding in prepubertal adolescents. They are defined as fusion of the labia minora in the midline or are termed vulvar adhesions when they occur below the labia minora (inner labia). Patients are often asymptomatic but might present with genitourinary complaints. The decision for treatment is based on symptoms. The mainstay of treatment in asymptomatic patients is conservative, with careful attention to vulvar hygiene and reassurance to parents. In symptomatic patients, topical treatment with estrogen and/or steroid cream is often curative. Less often, corrective surgery is necessary. Recurrence is common until a patient goes through puberty. These recommendations are intended for pediatric and gynecologic health care providers who care for pediatric and adolescent girls to facilitate diagnosis and treatment.
Green practices-IS alignment and environmental performance: The mediating effects of coordination

The problem of environmental sustainability has been growing in recent years with an interest from both researchers and practitioners. A major gap that exists is the absence of empirical studies that addressed business value of green IS (information systems). Thus, drawing on the resource-based view of the firm and IT (information technology) business value literature, this study aims to develop a comprehensive research model of green practice-IS alignment, the key cross-functional coordination of green practices with manufacturing and marketing functions, and firm performance. The study provides a better understanding of the relationship between green practice-manufacturing coordination and green practice-marketing coordination, and how both variables mediated the relationship between green practices-IS alignment and environmental performance. The data used in this study were collected from manufacturing firms. The results show that a firm’s green practices-IS alignment had a positive effect on both green practicesmanufacturing coordination and green practices-marketing coordination. In turn, both green practices-manufacturing coordination and green practices-marketing coordination are the significant predictors of environmental performance. Meanwhile, green practices-IS alignment had an indirect effect on environmental performance via both green practices-manufacturing coordination and green practicesmarketing coordination. Moreover, the findings of this study show that environmental performance is an important predictor of economic performance.

Topical tranexamic acid as a promising treatment for melasma

BACKGROUND
In recent times, tranexamic acid (TA) is claimed to have whitening effects especially for ultraviolet-induced hyperpigmentation including melasma. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical solution of TA and compare it with combined solution of hydroquinone and dexamethasone as the gold standard treatment of melasma in Iranian women.


MATERIALS AND METHODS
This was a double-blind split-face trial of 12 weeks which was conducted in Isfahan, Iran. Fifty Iranian melasma patients applied topical solution of 3% TA on one side of the face, and topical solution of 3% hydroquinone + 0.01% dexamethasone on the other side two times a day. The Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) and the side effects were evaluated at baseline and every 4 weeks before and after photographs to be compared by a dermatologist were taken. The patient satisfaction was documented at week 12.


RESULTS
A repeated measurement analysis was used to evaluate the changes in the MASI score before and after treatments. A significant decreasing trend was observed in the MASI score of both groups with no significant difference between them during the study (P < 0.05). No differences were seen in patients' and investigator's satisfaction of melasma improvement between two groups (P < 0.05). However, the side effects of hydroquinone + dexamethasone were significantly prominent compared with TA (P = 0.01).


CONCLUSION
This study's results introduce the topical TA as an effective and safe medication for the treatment of melasma.
WPP, No. 103: Speech Perception in Dyslexic Children With and Without Language Impairments

Developmental dyslexia refers to a group of children who fail to learn to read at the normal rate despite apparently normal vision and neurological functioning. Dyslexic children typically manifest problems in printed word recognition and spelling, and difficulties in phonological processing are quite common (Lyon, 1995; Rack, Snowling, & Olson, 1992; Stanovich, 1988; Wagner & Torgesen, 1987). The phonological processing problems include, but are not limited to difficulties in pronouncing nonsense words, poor phonemic awareness, problems in representing phonological information in short-term memory and difficulty in rapidly retrieving the names of familiar objects, digits and letters (Stanovich, 1988; Wagner & Torgesen, 1987; Wolf & Bowers, 1999). The underlying cause of phonological deficits in dyslexic children is not yet clear. One possible source is developmentally deviant perception of speech at the phoneme level. A number of studies have shown that dyslexics' categorizations of speech sounds are less sharp than normal readers (Chiappe, Chiappe, & Siegel, 2001; Godfrey, Syrdal-Lasky, Millay, & Knox, 1981; Maassen, Groenen, Crul, Assman-Hulsmans, & Gabreels, 2001; Reed, 1989; Serniclaes, Sprenger-Charolles, Carré, & Demonet, 2001;Werker & Tees, 1987). These group differences have appeared in tasks requiring the labeling of stimuli varying along a perceptual continuum (such as voicing or place of articulation), as well as on speech discrimination tasks. In two studies, there was evidence that dyslexics showed better discrimination of sounds differing phonetically within a category boundary (Serniclaes et al, 2001; Werker & Tees, 1987), whereas in one study, dyslexics were poorer at both within-phoneme and between phoneme discrimination (Maassen et al, 2001). There is evidence that newborns and 6-month olds with a familial risk for dyslexia have reduced sensitivity to speech and non-speech sounds (Molfese, 2000; Pihko, Leppanen, Eklund, Cheour, Guttorm & Lyytinen, 1999). If dyslexics are impaired from birth in auditory processing, or more specifically in speech perception, this would affect the development and use of phonological representations on a wide variety of tasks, most intensively in phonological awareness and decoding. Although differences in speech perception have been observed, it has also been noted that the effects are often weak, small in size or shown by only some of the dyslexic subjects (Adlard & Hazan, 1998; Brady, Shankweiler, & Mann, 1983; Elliot, Scholl, Grant, & Hammer, 1990; Manis, McBride-Chang, Seidenberg, Keating, Doi, Munson, & Petersen (1997); Nittrouer, 1999; Snowling, Goulandris, Bowlby, & Howell, 1986). One reason for small, or variable effects, might be that the dyslexic population is heterogeneous, and that speech perception problems are more common among particular subgroups of dyslexics. A specific hypothesis is that speech perception problems are more concentrated among dyslexic children showing greater
