Evaluating the Topaz ERP System Effectiveness Using a System Integrative Approach

: ERP systems selection, adoption and implementation are a complex, lengthy and costly process which tends to face serious failure. Higher Education Institutions are rapidly adopting and implementing these systems despite some implementation failures that have been reported elsewhere. Thus, it is essential to perform post-implementation assessment of these systems to evaluate how much they have succeeded or failed in achieving their predetermined objectives. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of topaz ERP systems in higher education institutions using a system integrative approach. Using a mixed-method research, data for quantitative and qualitative were collected and analyzed using partial least square – structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and inductive thematic analysis. The findings of the study revealed that financial perspective, customer/stakeholder perspective, and system quality perspective have significant influence or positive association with the effectiveness of topaz ERP systems evaluation in the Ghanaian higher education. The findings again, revealed that internal business process and learning and growth perspectives have no significant influence with the effectiveness of topaz ERP systems in Ghanaian context. Studies about the evaluation of ERP systems effectiveness in the Ghanaian higher education are rare. Available studies in Ghana have focused on the implementation issues and use only.
TOWARDS A GENERAL THEORY FOR DATA-BASED POSSIBILISTIC PARAMETER INFERENCE

This paper uniﬁes several recent results from possibilistic uncertainty analysis in order to contribute to a general theory of possibilistic parameter estimation by providing an exemplary procedure to estimating possibilistic distributions of model parameters from samples of an aggregated output quantity. This task is accomplished by dividing the problem in two subproblems. In the ﬁrst step, the output samples are represented in a structured manner by a possibility distribution. The second step deals with the backpropagation of the output distribution through a model, thus arriving at a distribution of the input quantity to be estimated. The theoretical basis for this two-step scheme lies in the theory of imprecise probabilities, giving the computed distributions an immediate and meaningful interpretation. It is intended to provoke the development of a novel theory complementary to classical statistics.
Visiting Behavior From the Lens of Electronic Word of Mouth, Destination Image, and Tourist Attraction

This study aims to determine the effect of electronic word of mouth, destination image, and tourist attraction on interest in visiting Kampung Naga tourism objects in Tasikmalaya Regency. The object of this research is tourists who have never visited Kampung Naga attractions. The study sample consisted of 120 respondents. The sampling technique in this study was a questionnaire and the data sources used were primary data. The analysis of the data used is quantitative descriptive analysis. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis with the Smart PLS 3.0 program. The results of the study showed that electronic word of mouth and tourist attraction had a positive and significant effect on visiting interest, while the destiny image had no effect on visiting interest. Therefore, the accepted assumption is that there are two independent variables that support the hypothesis and one independent variable that does not support the hypothesis.
Efficacy of 5E Learning Strategy in enhancing Academic Achievement in Physics among Students in Rano Education Zone, Kano State, Nigeria

The study investigated the efficacy of 5E learning strategy on the academic achievement of Physics students in Rano Education zone, Kano State-Nigeria. A pretest posttest quasi-experimental research design was adopted for the study. simple random sampling technique was used to draw 2 intact classes of 61 males and 46 females. The stated hypothesis was tested using independent z-test at 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that students taught Physics using 5E learning strategy perform better than those taught using traditional method, there is no significant difference of achievement scores between male and female students when taught physics using 5E learning strategy. Based on the findings, it was recommended that physics teachers should be encouraged to use 5E learning strategy in teaching the subject and other science subjects in general in senior secondary schools because it improves students’ academic achievement for both male and female students.
Parkinson’s disease determinants, prediction and gene–environment interactions in the UK Biobank

Objective To systematically investigate the association of environmental risk factors and prodromal features with incident Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis and the interaction of genetic risk with these factors. To evaluate whether existing risk prediction algorithms are improved by the inclusion of genetic risk scores. Methods We identified individuals with an incident diagnosis of PD (n=1276) and controls (n=500 406) in UK Biobank. We determined the association of risk factors with incident PD using adjusted logistic regression models. We constructed polygenic risk scores (PRSs) using external weights and selected the best PRS from a subset of the cohort (30%). The PRS was used in a separate testing set (70%) to examine gene–environment interactions and compare predictive models for PD. Results Strong evidence of association (false discovery rate <0.05) was found between PD and a positive family history of PD, a positive family history of dementia, non-smoking, low alcohol consumption, depression, daytime somnolence, epilepsy and earlier menarche. Individuals with the highest 10% of PRSs had increased risk of PD (OR 3.37, 95% CI 2.41 to 4.70) compared with the lowest risk decile. A higher PRS was associated with earlier age at PD diagnosis and inclusion of the PRS in the PREDICT-PD algorithm led to a modest improvement in model performance. We found evidence of an interaction between the PRS and diabetes. Interpretation Here, we used UK Biobank data to reproduce several well-known associations with PD, to demonstrate the validity of a PRS and to demonstrate a novel gene–environment interaction, whereby the effect of diabetes on PD risk appears to depend on background genetic risk for PD.
Retirement village buying intention

Purpose The well-being of the elderly is a growing issue of concern for countries around the world. One way to enhance the elderly well-being is to provide housing options suitable to their needs and lifestyle. Retirement village is an accommodation concept foreign to the Malaysian population. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to bridge this literature gap by analyzing factors that may inhibit or motivate the buying intention of a retirement village unit among the elderly in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 261 Malaysian elderly and analyzed using structural equation modeling PLS. Findings The results indicated that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and social sustainability were significant predictors that explained elderly buying intention of retirement village. Originality/value The study also found a significant moderating role of religion in attitude–intention relationship. The paper concludes with the study’s implications, limitations and recommendations for future research.
Scouting for Good Jobs: Gender and Networking in Job Search

This paper examines gender differences in job-search networking in order to better understand how women and men end up in different jobs. We find that in addition to seeking the same networking benefits as men do, women use networking – especially with other women – to seek out fine-grained, gender-relevant information about employers that might affect their career prospects, a behavior we term “scouting. �? In Study 1, we use server logs to directly observe job-seeking MBA students’ outreach to alumni. Consistent with scouting, we find that female students reach out to significantly more women than their male classmates and to at least as many men. In Study 2, interviews with 46 MBA students reveal that women networked with other women in order to learn about gender dynamics in the workplace and about employers’ support for parenting, two topics that men rarely explored in their networking. We discuss the implications of our findings for our understanding of workplace gender segregation and gender differences in networks.
An efficient branch and bound algorithm for smoothing the workloads on simple assembly lines

In this study, we develop a branch and bound solution algorithm to solve the workload smoothing problem. Our algorithm incorporates new formulas for dynamically computing a lower bound on the optimal value of the objective function and for determining the earliest workstations for tasks. It also uses a fast heuristic for computing a good initial upper bound. A comprehensive experimental analysis is conducted in this study. The analysis demonstrates the outstanding performance of the algorithm and its efficiency in solving medium-sized workload smoothing problems.
An Analysis of Policies of the Iranian Health Care System in Relation to the Nursing Profession

Introduction: The present study was a part of the findings of a qualitative thematic content analysis aimed at elucidating the role and position of nursing from the viewpoint of the managers of the Iranian health care system. The theme of inappropriate policies of the health care system, which was extracted in the analysis, was evaluated in this research. The results of this study are part of an effort to develop the nursing education model based on the determination of the role and position of nursing in the health care system. Method: In this study, qualitative thematic content analysis was used. Through purposive sampling, 6 managers and experts in the health care system were selected as participants. The structured interview was used for data collection. Results: In relation to the theme of inappropriate health care policy in relation to the nursing profession, a total of 5 categories and 14 subcategories were extracted. Conclusion: The Iranian health care system has witnessed profound changes in the last decade. However, it is faced with many challenges in the subsystem of nursing. Iran's health care policy in relation to the nursing profession is inadequate. It seems that the lack of dialogue between nursing and other health care institutions, unwillingness of these institutions to recognize nursing, and lack of involvement of nurses in policies because of conflicts of interest are effective factors in this regard. Uncertainty about the scope of services in the field of nursing care, training of disciplines parallel with nursing, non-discrimination in the provision of services within nursing, incompatibility of nursing services and payment, lack of attention of the health care system to the importance of nursing services, and placing professional nursing responsibilities as second priority in comparison with nonprofessional and unrelated responsibilities such as accreditation were the findings of this analysis.
PENGARUH TIME BUDGET PRESSURE TERHADAP KUALITAS AUDIT DAN BUDAYA ETIS SEBAGAI VARIABEL MEDIATOR(Studi Empiris pada Auditor KAP di Kota Jakarta)

The goal of this research is to test how time budget pressure affect audit quality by ethical culture and also to test how ethical culture mediate time budget pressure on audit quality. This research uses primary data collected by using questionnaire that shared for auditor in Jakarta. Seventy five samples are used in this research. Data analyzed with the quality data test, classic assumption test and hypothesis testing tools that are used in this research is multiple linear regression, path analysis. From the regression, there are some findings: (1) time budget pressure does have negative impact to the audit quality; (2) time budget pressure does have negative impact to the ethical culture; (3) The ethical culture is found to have positive impact to the audit quality. From these results can be concluded that ethical culture mediates the indirect relationship between time budget pressure on audit quality.
To be or not to be a refugee? Reflections on refugeehood and citizenship among Sri Lankan Tamils in India

ABSTRACT This article looks at citizenship from a position of liminality – that of Sri Lankan Tamils in India. It is based on fieldwork conducted with different groups of Sri Lankan Tamil refugees and repatriates in and around Keezhputhupattu camp (Tamil Nadu), in Ceylon Quarter (Pondicherry) and in Chennai. No matter what their legal status is, they all position themselves on the refugee-citizen spectrum and, by doing so, they find themselves standing in-between its two opposed poles. From there they build their political subjectivities by negotiating, appropriating and sometimes rejecting Indian citizenship and Sri Lankan refugeehood. It is through their relationship to this position of in-betweenness that, we argue, citizenship, but also refugeehood, acquire new meanings.
A Rolewicz-type characterization of nonuniform behaviour

ABSTRACT We present necessary and sufficient conditions in the spirit of Rolewicz under which all Lyapunov exponents of a given linear cocycle are either positive or negative. As a consequence, we formulate new conditions for the existence of the so-called tempered exponential dichotomies. We consider cocycles over both maps and flows.
Isolation of Lasiodiplodin and Evaluation of some Biological Activities of the Stem Barks of Phyllanthus Albizzioides (Kurz) Hook.f.

A large number of the plants are claimed to possess the antibiotic properties in the traditional system and are also used extensively by the tribal people throughout the world. It is now mostly thought that nature has given the cure of every disease in one form or another. Plants have been known to cure people from various diseases in Ayurveda. This research focused on the screening of phytochemicals and some biological activities of Phyllanthus albizzioides. The research showed that the ethanol extracts were found to be greater chemical constituents than watery extracts. Among the chemical constituents, steroid compounds were observed in highest amount in ethanol extract and the second highest in flavonoid compounds followed by tannin compounds and pheolic compounds. Furthermore, the ethanol extracts were more effective than the watery extracts in all tested biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-diabetic, cytotoxicity, antimicrobial, antitumor and NO inhibition activities. A cyclohexanone compound was isolated from the chloroform extract of the stem bark of P. albizzioides. The relative structure was determined to be 4,5-dihydroxy-3-methyl-cyclohex-2-enone on the basic of HRESIMS, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopic analyses, including 2D NMR experiments.
Derivation of Airway Basal Stem Cells from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

The derivation of self-renewing tissue-specific stem cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) would shorten the time needed to engineer mature cell types in vitro and would have broad reaching implications for the field of regenerative medicine. Here we report the directed differentiation of human iPSCs into putative airway basal cells (“iBCs”), a population resembling the epithelial stem cell of lung airways. Using a dual fluorescent reporter system (NKX2-1GFP;TP63tdTomato) we track and purify these cells over time, as they first emerge from iPSC-derived foregut endoderm as developmentally immature NKX2-1GFP+ lung progenitors which then augment a TP63 program during subsequent proximal airway epithelial patterning. These cells clonally proliferate, initially as NKX2-1GFP+/TP63tdTomato+ immature airway progenitors that lack expression of the adult basal cell surface marker NGFR. However, in response to primary basal cell medium, NKX2-1GFP+/ TP63tdTomato+ cells upregulate NGFR and display the molecular and functional phenotype of airway basal stem cells, including the capacity to clonally self-renew or undergo multilineage ciliated and secretory epithelial differentiation in air-liquid interface cultures. iBCs and their differentiated progeny recapitulate several fundamental physiologic features of normal primary airway epithelial cells and model perturbations that characterize acquired and genetic airway diseases. In an asthma model of mucus metaplasia, the inflammatory cytokine IL-13 induced an increase in MUC5AC+ cells similar to primary cells. CFTR-dependent chloride flux in airway epithelium generated from cystic fibrosis iBCs or their syngeneic CFTR-corrected controls exhibited a pattern consistent with the flux measured in primary diseased and normal human airway epithelium, respectively. Finally, multiciliated cells generated from an individual with primary ciliary dyskinesia recapitulated the ciliary beat and ultrastructural defects observed in the donor. Thus, we demonstrate the successful de novo generation of a tissue-resident stem cell-like population in vitro from iPSCs, an approach which should facilitate disease modeling and future regenerative therapies for a variety of diseases affecting the lung airways.
Galectin-3 as a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of essential hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a carbohydrate-binding protein that has important regulatory roles in inflammation, immunity and cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of Gal-3 level with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) related to hypertension (HT). Thirty seven patients (Group I) with newly diagnosed hypertension (HT) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)were included in the study. Thirty eight patients with newly diagnosed hypertension without LVH (Group II) and 38 normotensive healthy volunteers (Group III) were included in the study as control group. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed and Gal-3 was measured in all patients.Although demographic characteristics of the groups were similar, systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels of Group I and Group II were significantly higher than Group III (p<0.001). Interventricular septum (IVS) thickness, posterior wall (PW) thickness and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were also significantly increased in Group I compared to Group II and Group III. Serum Gal-3 levels in all three groups were seen to be different from each other (p<0.001). Increase of Gal-3 levels has a significant correlation with LVMI, IVS and PW thickness (p<0.001). We determined that Gal-3 levels, even at the newly diagnosed stage of HT,were increased. Moreover, we found strong correlation between Gal-3 levels and left ventricular muscle mass. These results may indicate that increased Gal-3 level is an important marker for target organ damage and high cardiovascular risk in patients with HT.
Hubungan Stres dan Kesejahteraan (Well-being) dengan Moderasi Kebersyukuran

This study aimed to determine the correlation of stress and well-being with gratitude moderation in early adults in Aceh. The method of this research was carried out using a quantitative approach. This study involved 349 early adults (264 female, 85 male) with age range of 20-40 years (M = 22.20) selected through the nonprobability sampling method with incidental sampling techniques. Individual’s stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale, well-being was measured using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, and gratitude was measured using the Skala Bersyukur Indonesia. Data were analyzed using moderated regression analysis to test the research hypothesis. The results showed that stress had a significant negative relationship to well-being (β1 = -0.788; p < 0.05), then gratitude was able to moderate the relationship of stress and well-being (β3 = 3.257; p < 0.05). This study showed that there was a correlation between stress and well-being with gratitude moderation. It meant that grateful people focus on things that are grateful for every day, so that the impact on low stress levels and can improve individual well-being.
Role of predators in the recruitment of invertebrates in a rocky subtidal community in the southwest Bay of Fundy, NB

ABSTRACT Predation is potentially an inﬂuential source of early post-settlement mortality of benthic marine invertebrates, but previous studies demonstrate conﬂicting results. We investigated the effect of large predators on developing subtidal invertebrate communities in cobble-ﬁlled collectors in the southwest Bay of Fundy, Canada. Two predation treatments (exclusion of predators ≥ 7 mm body width or full access for predators < 50 mm) were used to test the effect of large predators, and a partial-cage control tested for caging artefacts. Despite a reduction in the abundance and biomass of large predators, multivariate analyses indicated no effect of predator exclusion on the composition of the prey and micropredator communities. Results indicated that the largest differences were between the predator-access treatment and the other two treatments, which was potentially inﬂuenced by the caging material. There were signiﬁcant but weak positive correlations between the micropredator and the other two communities. Previous studies indicate that at low predation intensity, as seemed to be the case here, other factors may play a stronger role in controlling recruit abundance. Predation control probably varies spatially and temporally, and the inﬂuence of large predators was not likely the driving force for early post-settlement mortality in the invertebrate communities measured in this study.
Medical Students' Exposure and Response to Error on the Wards

Medical errors are common and cause extraordinary costs. Errors should be openly discussed and learned from. Medical schools have been slow to adopt curricula on medical errors, or training in how to respond to errors. Since error disclosure remains incomplete, students may be lacking both formal and informal education in error management. Our aims were to describe students’ knowledge about medical errors and error reporting, their attitudes toward medical errors and error reporting, their exposure to various types of errors, and their disclosure patterns. A survey instrument was developed using previously validated questions and new questions developed using the results of a focus group. The survey was refined by leading survey experts and a pilot test with students. The study sample consisted of students who had completed their third year of medical school at a single institution. A total of 99 useable surveys were received for a response rate of 48%. Many students (91.9%) witnessed at least on error during their clerkships resulting in harm to the patient. The most common types of errors witnessed by students included errors from failed medication reconciliation (73.5%), incorrect diagnoses (67.7%), missed diagnoses (66.7%), and poor or incomplete handoff (65.65%). The services where the most students reported witnessing errors resulting in harm were Medicine, OB-GYN, and Surgery. There were significant gaps in students’ knowledge about errors and error reporting; For example, 17.2% of students did not feel confident that they know what constitutes a medical error and 69.7% did not feel confident that they know how to report an error. The majority of students (83.84%) said that they had not received training on how to respond to errors they observe. Training was significantly associated with students’ knowing how to report an error (p=.006) and knowing which errors to report (p=.02). None of the 16 students who reported having
