Four dimensions of interorganizational, document-oriented workflow: A case study of the approval of hazardous-waste disposal

The approval of hazardous-waste disposal is a highly regulated, interorganizational business process and was established in order to monitor the whereabouts of hazardous waste in Germany. It is carried out by a waste-producing company, a waste-disposal company, and the approving authority. The result of the process is a disposal record that authorizes the waste producer to dispose of a certain type and quantity of hazardous waste in the approved way. We present a system that supports this process and embed it in a framework for interorganizational, document-oriented workflow. Four dimensions are identified: the organization, document and workflow control data, communication channels, and naming/directory services. The two main system components are the "Work-onnector" and "WAX". The former follows a "send" model assuming separate workflows in the cooperating organizations, the latter is based on a "share" model meaning that one organization is in charge of the service provision and has therefore complete control over the system.
Takeover through Scheme of Arrangement: A Changing Trend in UK

Recent trends have shown an increase in the practice of takeover through scheme of arrangement. In April 2007, Tata Steel acquired Corus Group by way of a scheme of arrangement. The scheme has become the structure of choice in the UK’s buoyant market. Six of the last seven largest takeovers of the UK — Scottish Power (£ 11.6 billion), Alliance Boots (£ 10.6 billion), Reuters Group (£ 8.6 billion), Gallaher (£ 7.5 billion), Corus (£ 6.2 billion), and Hanson (£ 6 billion) (IFLR, 2007)— have been carried out through scheme.1
Multi-layer neural network for received signal strength-based indoor localisation

In received signal strength (RSS)-based indoor wireless localisation system, radio pathloss model or radio map must be readily obtainable. However, the unpredictability of wireless channel makes it difficult to achieve high accuracy localisation in practice. In this study, the authors employed a multi-layer neural network (MLNN) for RSS-based indoor localisation without using the radio pathloss model or comparing the radio map. The proposed MLNN localisation system integrate the RSS signals transforming section, the raw data denoising section and the node locating section into a deep architecture. Furthermore, a boosting method is designed to promote location accuracy of the MLNN effectively. Experiment results demonstrate the feasibility and suitability of the proposed algorithm.

A Complete Review of the KBD field over the decade 2000-2010

The purpose of this paper is to adapt an existing methodological framework for conducting a comprehensive literature review on an empirical phenomenon based on a vast amount of papers published. Second, to use this framework to gain an understanding of the current state of the Knowledge-Based Development (KBD) research field, and third, based on the literature review, to develop a conceptual framework identifying areas of concern with regard to KBD. For this purpose, abstracts from more than 150 peer-reviewed journal publications from 2000 to 2010 have been analysed according to journal, authors and year of publication, and further categorized into research discipline, research topic and methods used. To the best knowledge of authors, there is no other literature review of the KBD field, based on such an analytical and comprehensive approach. The findings of the literature study, the structured methodological framework for comprehensive literature review and the conceptual framework identifying different areas of concern are believed to be useful for other researchers in their effort to obtain an overview of the evolution of the KBD research field.

Texas School District Hiring Managers Perceive Academic Accomplishments of PK-12 Campus Administrator Applicants in Relation to the Applicant’s Institution’s Reputation.

This study was designed to test if educational leadership degree earned through an online program was related to Human Resource (HR) Directors’ hiring decisions of administrators in Texas public school. The research questionaddressed in this study was:What is the relationship of an institution’s reputation to Texas school district hiring managers’ perception of academic accomplishments of PK-12 campus administrator applicants? The research design was a cross sectional survey that was a revised replication of Adams, Lee, and Cortese (2012). The sample is a stratified sampling of Human Recourse (HR) Directors or designee for hiring administrators for the school district by Regional Educational Service Centers (ESC). Despite the increasing number and quality of online degrees, many employers are still not willing to hire applicants who earned a degree online (Adams, 2008; Adams & DeFleur, 2005; Bailey & Flegie, 2012; Columbaro & Monaghan, 2009; Glover, 2005; Guendoo, 2007, 2008; Udegbe, 2012; Zupek, 2010). This study will provide information to assist individuals within the area of higher education to gain a perspective of how their online programs will be received in the job market by their graduates. In addition, this study allows individuals, to look at data to assist in making degree or certification choices. Furthermore, this study will allow individuals to have a better perspective of how to respond to prospective employers, by knowing the opinions of Human Resource Directors.

Women Entrepreneurs: A Cross-cultural Study of the Impact of the Commitment Competency on the Success of Female-owned SMMEs in South Africa

There are substantial theories and case studies linking culture and the development of entrepreneurial competencies. The commitment competency domain and its link to business success has also been identified in previous studies by various researchers. In a recent cross-cultural study of South African female entrepreneurs conducted by the researcher, the importance of commitment was highlighted by more than half of the participants. This paper reviews and reports the cultural differences in the development and application of the commitment competency among female entrepreneurs of the four government identified racial groups in South Africa (Black, White, Asian and Colored). A qualitative approach is utilized comprising semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The core of the interviews was a list of behaviors identified under the commitment competency domain from previous theoretical and empirical studies. Entrepreneurs were asked open-ended questions for exploratory purposes. Samples were drawn from female SMMEs operators in different cultures in South Africa. The data was analyzed qualitatively using thematic content analysis. Whilst all participants from the four government identified racial groups agreed that the commitment competency is important for business success, only participants from one of the racial groups considered it vital to business success. -----------------------------------------------------------------------* Corresponding author. International Journal of Sciences: Basic and Applied Research (IJSBAR) (2016) Volume 27, No 2, pp 70-83 71 Arguably, the commitment competency is valued more highly by female entrepreneurs in this racial group (White) than participants from the other groups. The data also revealed that some female entrepreneurs could be regarded as “serial entrepreneurs”, giving up entrepreneurship and taking up paid employment when they encountered difficulties, only to return to entrepreneurship again and again. Inferences can also be made from the findings on the “inability” of South African female SMMEs operators to sustain their businesses. This study is the first to offer a comprehensive analysis of the cultural differences in the development and application of the commitment competency of South African female entrepreneurs. By identifying these cultural differences, the research provides a basis for an agenda for focus on training and development of female entrepreneurs in South Africa.
Community Intervention Trial for Smoking Cessation : Development of the Intervention

INTRODUCTION The Community Intervention Trial for Smoking Cessation (COMMIT) intervention protocol was developed by collaborating trial investigators during a 24-month planning phase. To select the specific intervention methods included in the COMMIT protocol, the investigators used a wide variety of data from controlled and demonstration trials of smoking control strategies as well as advice from public health experts and their own experience in large-scale behavior change efforts. The protocol took into account several theoretical perspectives on health behavior change, including social learning theories (Bandura, 1977 and 1986; Abrams et al., 1986; Elder et al., 1986), persuasion models for communication and social influences (Bandura, 1977; Flay et al., 1983; McAlister et al., 1982; Rogers, 1973), the health belief model (Green et al., 1980; Rosenstock, 1974), action research models for community organization and innovation diffusion (Rothman, 1979; Grusky and Miller, 1981; Gusfield, 1962; Rogers and Shoemaker, 1971), and others.
Examining knowledge sources for human error correction

A variety of knowledge sources have been employed by error correction mechanisms to improve the usability of speech recognition (SR) technology. However, little is known about the effect of knowledge sources on human error correction. Advancing our understanding of the role of knowledge sources in human error correction could improve the state of automatic error correction. We selected three knowledge sources, including alternative list, imperfect context, and perfect context, and compared their usefulness to human error correction via an empirical user study. The results showed that knowledge sources had signiﬁcant impact on the performance of human error correction. In particular, perfect context was the best that could signiﬁ-cantly reduce word error rate without increasing the processing time.
A Spark from the Public Sector: Co-Lending by Government-Owned and Private-Sector Lenders

Co-lending by private-sector and government-owned lenders accounts for nearly one-tenth of all syndicated-loan funding to corporate borrowers over the three decades spanning 1980 to 2010. I find evidence that private-sector institutions co-lend with government-owned lenders to benefit from better legal protection and implicit debt guarantees. This leads to loans with lower spreads, longer maturities, larger syndicates, less collateral, and a greater participation of foreign lenders, particularly for borrowers headquartered in countries with weak property rights. Yet, firms that receive loans from a mixed syndicate comprised of both private and government-owned lenders show a decline in profitability and valuation in subsequent years, which suggests that governmentowned lenders fail to efficiently allocate funding.
An approach to measures of privacy in randomized response models for quantitative characteristics

In this paper, we present a new and reasonable measure of privacy protection of randomized response with or without allowing for the auxiliary variable and compare the unrelated question model, the addition model, the multiplication model, the optional randomization model, the generalized multiplicative model and the forced model in the light of the efficiency and protection privacy. This article shows that the results are sometimes in contrast with the authors' assertions regarding the superiority of their methods. This measure is easy to evaluate.
Veil: Private Browsing Semantics Without Browser-side Assistance

All popular web browsers offer a “private browsing mode. ” After a private session terminates, the browser is supposed to remove client-side evidence that the session occurred. Unfortunately, browsers still leak information through the file system, the browser cache, the DNS cache, and on-disk reflections of RAM such as the swap file. Veil is a new deployment framework that allows web developers to prevent these information leaks, or at least reduce their likelihood. Veil leverages the fact that, even though developers do not control the client-side browser implementation, developers do control 1) the content that is sent to those browsers, and 2) the servers which deliver that content. Veil web sites collectively store their content on Veil’s blinding servers instead of on individual, site-specific servers. To publish a new page, developers pass their HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to Veil’s compiler; the compiler transforms the URLs in the content so that, when the page loads on a user’s browser, URLs are derived from a secret user key. The blinding service and the Veil page exchange encrypted data that is also protected by the user’s key. The result is that Veil pages can safely store encrypted content in the browser cache; furthermore, the URLs exposed to system interfaces like the DNS cache are unintelligible to attackers who do not possess the user’s key. To protect against post-session inspection of swap file artifacts, Veil uses heap walking (which minimizes the likelihood that secret data is paged out), content mutation (which garbles in-memory artifacts if they do get swapped out), and DOM hiding (which prevents the browser from learning site-specific HTML, CSS, and JavaScript content in the first place). Veil pages load on unmodified commodity browsers, allowing developers to provide stronger semantics for private browsing without forcing users to install or reconfigure their machines. Veil provides these guarantees even if the user does not visit a page using a browser’s native privacy mode; indeed, Veil’s protections are stronger than what the browser alone can provide.
The Impact of Corporate Governance on Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure: Evidence from Indonesia

This research examines the level of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Disclosure in order to provide information to the interested parties. This research tries to find evidence regarding the potential affect of Corporate Governance characteristics on CSR reporting in Indonesia. The samples were selected from LQ- 45 index in Indonesia Stock Exchange on August 2010 to January 2011 period. The descriptive statistics include the process of organizing, summarizing, and presenting data in informative way that presented the analysis formally to give the reader an overall sense of being analyzed. This statistical method is used to summarize the elements of the data in the research which presents the collection of the main features data in quantitative terms. The analysis determined whether there is any association between corporate governance characteristics and CSR disclosure. The research result found that approximately, 41 per cent of Indonesian companies reported theirs CSR in their annual report. However, this study found that there is no evidence of statically significant correlation between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. Key words: Corporate Social Responsibility, Corporate Governance, Disclosure, Indonesia Stock Exchange.
Communication, Documentation and Hrm: The Case of the Non-Compliant Kitchen Employee

This case study sheds light on some of the potential problems small hotels face during an economic downturn when human resource (HR) departments are eliminated and subsequently, those responsibilities fall upon departmental managers. Especially challenging is the turnover within middle management and the ensuing burdens placed on line level employees, particularly when there is a lack of communication and documentation of prior incidences. Topics including at-will employment, HR responsibilities, and hard vs. soft HRM will be addressed.
Wideband Hybrid Coupler With Electrically Switchable Phase-Difference Performance

A wideband hybrid coupler with an adjustable output phase difference with equal power division is proposed. A compact, low-loss and low-cost reconfigurable transmission line with electrically switchable equivalent characteristic impedance and length is introduced and adopted in this design, which is based on a two-section quadrature hybrid structure. Additionally, only two bias points are needed in this hybrid coupler to operate six switches synchronously and provide three output phase differences; 90° and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$90 \pm a^{\circ }$ </tex-math></inline-formula> (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$a \le 30^{\circ }$ </tex-math></inline-formula> has been verified). Good matching, isolation, and equal power division are obtained under all phase-difference possibilities. Two examples of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$a = 15^{\circ }$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and 30° are fabricated and measured for 2.4-GHz applications. Testing results demonstrate satisfying properties including the notably stable phase difference with an error less than ±6° over 30% frequency bandwidth. The presented hybrid couplers would be appropriate for Butler matrices to increase the number of possible beams, which will be more than the number of ports.
Influence of Selected Heparins on Human Neutrophil Functions In Vitro

Summary The effects of four heparin derivatives [unfractionated heparin (UFH) at 5–50 IU/ml, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) at 2–20 IU/ml, pentasaccharide (Penta) at 5 IU/ml and a synthetic heparinoid (PPS) at 10–6–10–5 M] on various polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocyte end-functions (aggregation, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and burst) were examined. CR3 expression, actin polymerization and membrane surface charge were also studied to gain more insight on the mechanisms of the action of heparins on PMN. The different heparins were found to have rather different actions. PMN were found to be hyperreactive to PPS. Pentasaccharide hat no effect on PMN functions, while UFH and LMWH had intermediate reactivity, modulating responses in an adenosine-like manner. Interactions of heparins with PMN were attributed to biophysical properties of the molecules rather than to the presence of a specific sequence such as a pentasaccharide. Our results show that certain heparin derivatives, apart their well-known anticoagulant action, modulate polymorphonuclear leukocyte functions that may be involved in vascular injury.
Sudden death from coronary disease related to a lethal mechanism arising independently of vascular occlusion or myocardial damage.

Five hundred consecutive sudden deaths ascribed to coronary arteriosclerotic heart disease after complete autopsy were studied, with special attention to coronary vessels and myocardium. In 184 cases, new disease (recent thrombosis, acute myocardial infarct, or both) explained the sudden catastrophe. The remaining cases presented only chronic degenerative coronary disease, frequently associated with healed infarcts. The cardiac mechanisms responsible for sudden death in coronary disease must of necessity differ in these two groups with such disparate morbid anatomy. The presence of an intact myocardium in many of these patients suggests that the potentiality for good cardiac function exists if the heart beat can be restored. Such positive measures as intermittent rhythmic manual compression ("cardiac massage"), electrical defibrillation, or both in association with artificial respiration are indicated when the physician is present at deaths occurring under these circumstances.
The programmed cell death GLuc PCA library – a powerful tool for pathway discovery and drug screening

A programmed cell death library based on the Gaussia luciferase protein-fragment complementation assay (GLuc PCA) enables detection of protein–protein interactions (PPI) within the cell death network and quantitative assessments of these interactions. Among future applications for the GLuc PCA cell death library is its potential use as a platform for PPI-targeted drug screening.
Coordinated Autonomic Managers for Energy Efficient Date Centers

The complexity of today’s data centers has led researchers to investigate ways in which autonomic methods can be used for data center management. Autonomic managers try to monitor and manage resources to ensure that the components they manage are selfconfiguring, self-optimizing, self-healing and self-protecting (so called “self-*” properties). In this research, we consider autonomic management systems for data centers with a particular focus on making data centers more energy-aware. In particular, we consider a policy based, multi-manager autonomic management systems for energy aware data centers. Our focus is on defining the foundations – the core concepts, entities, relationships and algorithms for autonomic management systems capable of supporting a range of management configurations. Central to our approach is the notion of a “topology” of autonomic managers that when instantiated can support a range of different configurations of autonomic managers and communication among them. The notion of “policy” is broadened to enable some autonomic managers to have more direct control over the behavior of other managers through changes in policies. The ultimate goal is to create a management framework that would allow the data center administrator to a) define managed objects, their corresponding managers, management system topology, and policies to meet their operation needs and b) rely on the management system to maintain itself automatically. A data center simulator that computes its energy consumption (computing and cooling) at any given time is implemented to evaluate the impact of different management scenarios. The management system is evaluated with different management scenarios in our simulated data center.
