Measuring the Attitude of Management Towards Errors in the Workplace

The study is conducted to identify and examine the various factors that influence the Attitude of Management towards error at workplace in organizational settings. The research question is based on fact that what factors are predominantly important to be considered for error free environment and how management perceives and tackles them. The findings of the factor analysis on the items that were used in the questionnaire, which was designed for this study, elucidate various key factors in the organizational settings in Pakistani Business Sectors. In order to testify research question posed, 05 organizations from the Telecommunication and Banking Industry of Pakistan was taken as sample from the populace as the same industries are producing exemplary results in the Pakistan. The various levels of employees were asked through questionnaires about the Error Management approach, what they perceive and prefer at their workplace. The research study reveals that the few crucial factors are of greater importance in order to achieve greater performance goals and operational efficiency. The findings of this study are that positive Attitude of Management towards Error in the workplace plays an important role in respect of Company's Turnover and Performance. However, Error Management is a long-term process, which demands both attention from management side and initiative from the employee side.
Human social organization during the Late Pleistocene: Beyond the nomadic-egalitarian model

Many researchers assume that until 10-12,000 years ago, humans lived in small, mobile, relatively egalitarian bands composed mostly of kin. This “nomadic-egalitarian model” informs evolutionary explanations of behavior and our understanding of how contemporary societies differ from those of our evolutionary past. Here, we synthesize research challenging this model and propose an alternative, the diverse histories model, to replace it. We outline the limitations of using recent foragers as models of Late Pleistocene societies and the considerable social variation among foragers commonly considered small-scale, mobile, and egalitarian. We review ethnographic and archaeological findings covering 34 world regions showing that non-agricultural peoples often live in groups that are more sedentary, unequal, large, politically stratified, and capable of large-scale cooperation and resource management than is normally assumed. These characteristics are not restricted to extant Holocene hunter-gatherers but, as suggested by archaeological findings from 27 Middle Stone Age sites, likely characterized societies throughout the Late Pleistocene (until c. 130 ka), if not earlier. These findings have implications for how we understand human psychological adaptations and the broad trajectory of human history.
THE USE OF THE THY-1-YFP-H TRANSGENIC MOUSE STRAIN IN STUDIES OF PERIPHERAL NERVE INJURY

The aim of these studies was to utilise the thy-1-YFP-H transgenic mouse strain to investigate the effects of exogenous agents and the use of nerve conduits on peripheral nerve repair, while developing analysis methods to quantify nerve regeneration in this strain. Using a thy-1-YFP-H mouse common fibular nerve repair model, two potential nerve regeneration enhancing agents [mannose-6-phosphate and EC23] and four conduit designs were assessed. The outcomes of the experiments were measured by analysing whole mount images of the repaired nerves and comparing: axon numbers across the repairs, the proportion of unique axons reaching set distances within the repairs, and the disruption of axons as they entered the repairs. Of the two potential nerve regeneration enhancing agents [administered by pre-soaking the graft tissue and injections into the surrounding tissue] mannose-6-phosphate was shown to significantly reduce the disruption of axons entering the graft, which tied in with results of previous studies on mannose-6-phosphate. EC23 did not appear to have any significant effect upon nerve regeneration, displaying similar results to vehicle treated grafts. Within the conduit studies, both micro-stereolithography produced hollow conduit designs proved successful at enabling regeneration across a short nerve defect - with quantitative results similar to graft repairs - however, axon organisation within those repairs was greatly reduced. The other two conduit designs [aligned fibre filled and hollow nylon-12] were less successful, with limited regeneration occurring across the nerve defect. Through the results of these studies the usefulness of the thy-1-YFP-H transgenic mouse strain in assessing nerve regeneration has been further established. The ability to trace the fate of individual axons through repairs reveals much information that was previously not possible or very difficult to obtain. In addition, the ability to obtain results in only 2-3 weeks makes this model ideal for obtaining useful data quickly for pilot studies.
Macro-urban Form and Transport Energy Outcomes: Investigations for Melbourne

Urban transport - both freight and passenger - forms a significant proportion of global energy use, and is also a major contributor to greenhouse pollution. One way in which scientists, commentators and policy-makers are seeking to address this issue is to consider the role of urban form in transport energy consumption. This paper provides a summary of the Victorian Department of Infrastructure's investigations into the transport energy outcomes of a broad range of different urban form typologies found across Melbourne. Through the assessment of a number of metropolitan growth scenarios, it also examines the relationship between potential urban form patterns, the options for transport infrastructure and the resultant transport energy outputs.
βeta-lactam and Tetracycline Antibiotic Residues in Cow Milk in the Constantine region, Algeria

The aim of the present study was to investigate the βeta-lactam and tetracycline antibiotic residues in cow milk samples. A total of 122 samples of cow milk were collected from raw milk collectors (109 samples) and from a reconstituted pasteurized milk sales clerk (13 samples) in the Constantine region, Algeria and examined using the ΒetaStar Combo screening kit (Neogen, USA). Results indicates that 13 samples (10.66%) were positive for antibiotics residues: 12 (9.84%) for βeta-lactams (ten (8.20%) raw and two (1.64%) pasteurized milk samples) and only one (0.82%) for tetracyclines in a raw milk sample. It is evident that the Algerian consumer is not sheltered from the danger of antibiotic residues in milk and these inhibitor residues should constitute a constant concern for the dairy industry in Algeria. A control programme should be established.

Traffic engineering for hybrid optical and electronic switching networks

Quality of Service (QoS) over the Internet is receiving increasing attention with growing need to support upcoming multimedia applications. Many of these applications including real-time video and audio traffic require a more robust architecture that can deliver faster response times to the service requested. The Internet infrastructure currently supports a best effort service paradigm that does not differentiate between different flows. To support future applications, this thesis proposes an approach to solve the QoS needs of the traffic the network carries, by reserving bandwidth, reducing delay and increasing availability. The issues addressed in this dissertation are two-fold, leading to a better network switching architecture to support the differing needs of high-priority and low-priority voice and data traffic. Link failure is a problem that seriously affects QoS-enabled routing. The thesis addresses this challenge by designing a mechanism to restore network connectivity and reach optimality in the event of failures, while using a variant of link-state routing protocols. The thesis applies insights from the first problem to design an improved switching/routing architecture that services the needs of both low-priority and highpriority traffic. It achieves this architecture by making intelligent traffic admission and transport and assigning that traffic to packet switching or circuit switching hardware, in this case, an IP router and an all-optical cross-connect combined in a single hybrid switch design.

Prediction of Extremist Behaviour and Suicide Bombing from Terrorism Contents Using Supervised Learning

: This study proposes an architecture for the prediction of extremist human behaviour from projected suicide bombings. By linking ‘dots’ of police data comprising scattered information of people, groups, logistics, locations, communication, and spatiotemporal characters on different social media groups, the proposed architecture will spawn beneficial information. This useful information will, in turn, help the police both in predicting potential terrorist events and in investigating previous events. Furthermore, this architecture will aid in the identification of criminals and their associates and handlers. Terrorism is psychological warfare, which, in the broadest sense, can be defined as the utilisation of deliberate violence for economic, political or religious purposes. In this study, a supervised learning-based approach was adopted to develop the proposed architecture. The dataset was prepared from the suicide bomb blast data of Pakistan obtained from the South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP). As the proposed architecture was simulated, the supervised learning-based classifiers naïve Bayes and Hoeffding Tree reached 72.17% accuracy. One of the additional benefits this study offers is the ability to predict the target audience of potential suicide bomb blasts, which may be used to eliminate future threats or, at least, minimise the number of casualties and other property losses.
Time Series Analysis in Road Safety Research using State Space Methods

This publication presents a set of comprehensive studies into time series analysis for aggregated road safety data, such as accident counts and victim counts. In particular, the publication describes how the number of fatalities and serious injuries is closely monitored by government agencies and the public, and its relevance to society is not disputed. Much research has been conducted into how road safety can be improved. To that end it is often attempted to explain changes in road safety statistics by factors (or changes in) such as exposure, policy, driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding by drivers and infrastructural measures. Some factors such as regulations, traffic law and policy can be directly observed (although compliance with regulations, traffic law and policy may not). Other factors can be observed in theory but in practice their measurement is either difficult or very expensive. Examples of such factors are exposure, which can be measured using surveys and vehicle counting systems, and driving under the influence of alcohol, which can be measured using road side surveys. Finally, some factors are even harder to observe such as driver skill or experience. Data obtained from diverse sources as described above are likely to differ in accuracy, which may complicate statistical analysis. Another complicating factor in road safety time series analysis is that no unique measure of road safety is available. Usually road safety is measured in terms of the number of accidents or the number of victims. Although in practice the situation is more complicated, some road safety measures may affect either accident occurrence or accident severity.
Quantifying Pedestrian Friendliness - Guidelines for Assessing Pedestrian Level of Service

A study was undertaken for Main Roads Western Australia by BSD Consultants, which aimed to develop guidelines for assessing the Level of Service (LOS) of pedestrian facilities in Western Australia. Guidelines exist for assessing vehicular traffic LOS (Austroads) and cycling LOS (Main Roads WA). The formulation of LOS guidelines for pedestrians completes the LOS framework for vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic. Pedestrian LOS is an overall measure of walking conditions on a route, path, or facility. This is linked directly to factors that affect mobility, comfort, and safety, reflecting pedestrians' perceptions of the degree to which the facility is 'pedestrian friendly'. A unique model based on several factors affecting pedestrian LOS was developed to facilitate LOS measurement. These factors fall into three categories: physical characteristics, location factors, and user factors. These factors were weighted by relative importance and a LOS scale was developed to describe the LOS of pedestrian routes. Pedestrian conditions are described through a LOS grade from LOS A (ideal pedestrian condition) to LOS E (unsuitable pedestrian conditions), based on an assessment of the factors affecting LOS. The assessment includes desktop and on-site assessment of LOS factors. The development of the model was an iterative process that involved testing and refinement. The research undertaken and the LOS model developed provide a sound basis for the ongoing measurement of LOS for pedestrians. The model not only provides the opportunity to test the LOS provided by a pedestrian route, but also determines which factors contribute to low and high LOS. Language: en

Failure mechanism of anisotropic conductive adhesive interconnections in flip chip ICs on flexible substrates

In this work we study how the endurance performance of electrically conductive adhesive interconnections of flip chip integrated circuits with a pitch of 200 and 150/spl mu/m on flexible substrates is affected by varying environmental conditions. This is accomplished by comparison of offline and online control measurements that are carried out to monitor the electrical resistance in temperature-humidity and temperature cycling stress tests. From the gradual degradation of the resistance with time and the failure analysis, it is conjectured that periodic absorption and desorption of moisture forms one of the more important failure mechanisms in this type of assembly.
The Architecture of the City

Aldo Rossi, a practicing architect and leader of the Italian architectural movement La Tendenza, is also one of the most influential theorists writing today. The Architecture of the City is his major work of architectural and urban theory. In part a protest against functionalism and the Modern Movement, in part an attempt to restore the craft of architecture to its position as the only valid object of architectural study, and in part an analysis of the rules and forms of the city's construction, the book has become immensely popular among architects and design students.
