Authentic Quality Certifications: A Discussion On The Validity Of Quality Initiatives

Whether in the workplace or the classroom, when the discussion turns to quality issues such as ISO 9000, many knowledgeable and experienced employees will grimace and sarcastically laugh at the topic.Many of these employees question the validity, authenticity, and sincerity of their company's quality initiatives.As former leaders in the workplace and current leaders in the classroom, we have noticed that this is a common occurrence.However, it shouldn't be a surprise.All one has to do is open the newspaper and see recent quality fiascos involving very reputable businesses.These recent news developments involving the issues of quality lends credence to these negative perceptions.We would like to discuss some of these current examples.We would also like to focus on one specific quality initiative; ISO 9000.We would like to offer a thumbnail sketch of ISO 9000, and through interviews and research, examine the validity of this quality initiative.Finally, we would like to conclude by summarizing the interview and research and offering recommendations for future initiatives.

Identifikasi Model I-Garch (Integrated Generalized Autoregressive Conditionally Heterocedastic) Untuk Peramalan Value At Risk

A stock returns data are one of type time series data who has a high volatility and different variance in every point of time. Such data are volatile, seting up a pattern of asymmetrical, having a nonstationary model, and that does not have a constant residual variance (heteroscedasticity). A time series ARCH and GARCH model can explain the heterocedasticity of data, but they are not always able to fully capture the asymmetric property of high frequency. Integrated Generalized Autoregresive Heteroskedascticity (IGARCH) model overcome GARCH weaknesses in capturing unit root. Furthermore IGARCH models were used to estimate the value of VaR as the maximum loss that will be obtained during a certain period at a certain confidence level. The aim of this study was to determine the best forecasting model of Jakarta Composite Index (JSI). The model had used in this study are ARCH, GARCH, and IGARCH. From the case studies were carried out, the result of forecasting volatility of stock index by using IGARCH(1,1) obtained log likelihood values that 3857,979 to the information criteria AIC = -6,3180; BIC = -6,3013; SIC = -6,3180; dan HQIC = -6,3117. Value of VaR movement of the JCI if it becomes greater the investment is Rp.500,000,000.00 with a confidence level of 95% on the date of July 2, 2015 using a model IGARCH (1,1) is Rp7.166.315,00.

Standards Education In Technology Programs

During the past two decades, business and trade have been strongly influenced by information technology and globalization.The business environment is extremely competitive in which international standards and standardization systems are playing an increasingly important role in all areas including technology, finance, trade and environmental law.As a result, the ability to apply technical standards has become an essential skill for engineers and technologists.Engineering accreditation criteria require students to acquire "an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability".This criterion implies learning about Regulations and Standards.However, the TAC of ABET General Criteria currently does not have a similar requirement for technology programs.A 2008 survey conducted by the Center for Global Standards Analysis indicated that Standards Education does have a strategic value.This paper presents DeVry University's initiative for educating its technology students on global standards and standardization systems.It also discusses the IEEE Standards Education Committee's effort on developing educational material to help learn Standards.A sample student application paper is exhibited.

Ember, Toward Salience-Based Cinematic Generation

Automatic cinematic generation for virtual environments and games has shown to be capable of generating general purpose cinematics. There is initial work that approaches cinematic generation from the perspective of narrative instead of low level camera manipulation. In our work, we further extend this idea to take into consideration a model of user memory. Models of reader comprehension and memory have been developed to attempt to explain how people comprehend narratives. We propose using these models of narrative comprehension and memory to augment a system for cinematic generation so that it can produce a cinematic that can communicate character deliberation to the viewer by maintaining the salience of specific events.
PENERAPAN STRATEGI CATATAN TERBIMBING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN ZAMAN PRA-AKSARA MATA PELAJARAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN SOSIAL KELAS IV MI ISLAMIYAH PAKEL MONTONG TUBAN

Research is motivated by the low student learning process and also the weak learning process that is still centered on the teacher. Teaching and learning activities that are always discussed by the teacher will result in low student learning activities in school. The subjects in this class action research were grade IV MI Islamiyah Pakel Montong Tuban students. As an effort that can be done to overcome these problems, then this is by implementing a guided note strategy. Through a record of guided strategies, students will be asked to participate in teaching and learning activities and students will be better prepared and able to discuss the material being studied in action, observation, and reflection. The results showed that the application of guided strategy notes to the pre-literate epoch material of social science subjects was carried out smoothly and very well. Proof can also be known from the value generated by students in working on LK outlining the contents of the text that discusses the history of pre-literacy and also describes lessons that can be drawn from the history of pre-literate community life with the percentage of classical learning completeness 66.6% in the first cycle and 83, 3% in the second cycle.
Learning Dynamic Systems Through The Help Of Computer Programming

Dynamic systems are not easily understood by students entering college due to complexity of underlying concepts, which are frequently stated but not understood in early mathematics and science courses.Moreover, students majoring in disciplines other than computer science, such as biology or finance, are usually resistant to taking computing courses and view them as irrelevant to their field of study.On the other hand, it is nowadays practically impossible to study, understand, and analyze dynamic systems without help of computers.Computation for Science and Engineering (CompSE) is an introductory computer programming course that will be offered in the Spring 2010 with the new curriculum that is anticipated to attract STEM students to computation fields.The CompSE introduces programming concepts through study of dynamic systems taken from various fields such as finance, molecular biology, and environmental science.Moreover, CompSE introduces students to using computer programming and simulation to analyze systems that are hard or almost impossible to understand and model using only analytical methods.This course is expected to increase students' interest in multi-disciplinary studies, which include computation and programming.
Derandomized Balanced Allocation

In this paper, we study the maximum loads of explicit hash families in the d-choice schemes when allocating sequentially n balls into n bins. We consider the Uniform-Greedy scheme [ABKU99], which provides d independent bins for each ball and places the ball into the bin with the least load, and its non-uniform variant — the Always-Go-Left scheme introduced by Vöcking [Vöc03]. We construct a hash family with O(log n log log n) random bits based on the previous work of Celis et al. [CRSW13] and show the following results.1.With high probability, this hash family has a maximum load of in the Uniform-Greedy scheme.2.With high probability, it has a maximum load of in the Always-Go-Left scheme for a constant ϕd > 1.61.The maximum loads of our hash family match the maximum loads of a perfectly random hash function [ABKU99, Vöc03] in the Uniform-Greedy and Always-Go-Left scheme separately, up to the low order term of constants. Previously, the best known hash families matching the same maximum loads of a perfectly random hash function in d-choice schemes were O(log n)-wise independent functions [Vöc03], which needs Θ(log2 n) random bits.
Sorting Process In Mapreduce Task

MapReduce may be a programming model for process and generating massive data sets. Users specify a map operate that processes a key/value combine to get a collection of intermediate key/value pairs, and a Reduce operate that merges all intermediate values related to a similar intermediate key. several planet tasks are expressible during this model, as shown within the paper. Optimized type implementations. Performance of type-intensive data flows and computation of mixture functions requiring sort, like MEDIAN, can improve considerably once Associate in Nursing optimized type implementation is employed. Such implementations will make the most of hardware architectures, software system and data characteristics. up the performance of type among the MapReduce framework. This paper proposes an alternate to the prevailing load-sort-store resolution which may generate a little variety of longer runs, leading to a quicker merge part. The replacement choice algorithmic program typically produces runs that ar larger than accessible memory, that successively reduces the sorting time. The planned paper shows that however the sorting has been taken placed in MapReduce task.

Location-Based Game Platform for Behavioral Data Collection in Disaster Rescue Scenarios

Location-based games are an emerging paradigm for training, simulation, entertainment, health and many other domains. In this paper, we consider the role of location-based games as a platform for data collection and analysis of human behavior. We also examine how human teams perform in a disaster scenario when such a scenario is mapped to a game environment conducted as a location-based augmented reality game. We use a pilot experiment to study human behavior between simulated disaster rescue teams and an integrated commander for the purpose of future research into improving exploitation of local tasks versus exploration of assigned objectives by disaster response teams. We show the results of our pilot experiment, analyze the effectiveness of this game as a data collection platform and then investigate how additional experiments may be conducted to formalize this problem further.
Mary Engle Pennington, Food Refrigeration Engineer

One evening not long before the due date of this paper, as I pondered, weak and weary, over volumes of forgotten copies of Ice and Refrigeration, I put my head down on the library carrel and closed my eyes.I was awakened (or so I thought) by a touch on my shoulder, I looked up to see a woman of indeterminate age, slightly shorter than average, who was wearing a gray silk dress, a cloak, and a single string of pearls.She looked at me intently through rimless glasses, identified herself as Mary Pennington, and asked me if I was going to the ASEE conference in Washington next June.When I replied in the affirmative, she asked me to convey her greetings to all of you.I should explain that she is no longer able to attend in person, having passed away in 1952 at the age of eighty.But in the dream (for that it what it was), this fact troubled me not at all, and I proceeded to interview her for the next hour and a half.During our conversation I found that I wasn't able to tell her much that she didn't know already about the current status of engineering in her field.In her former life she was an expert in the refrigeration of foods, but where she lives now it seems that decay is no longer a problem.So she spends much of her time talking with the recent arrivals and keeping up with progress in refi-igeration around the world.
Information Technology Internships In Non Profits

Abstract NOTE: The first page of text has been automatically extracted and included below in lieu of an abstract Information Technology Internships in Non-Profits Abstract Non-profits are faced with acute needs to maintain fiscal accountability, integrity and generosity. Not only are the current demands for assistance from non-profits in the United States of America at an all-time high, but they are under increased scrutiny from the media and the public. Students interning with non-profit organizations are learning the reality of these challenges as our country recovers from unprecedented natural disasters. The new non-profit is quickly developing into a new organization. It no longer resembles municipal government or the for-profit organization, although it is rooted in both. The legal environment is also evolving for non-profits. The Internal Revenue Service is taking a hard look at many organizations in response to scrutiny in the media. Many information technology majors have real-world work experience in manufacturing or for- profit services, but they’ve never faced the tough process of prioritizing projects for funding, choosing equipment or software on a minimal budget, or convincing donors to assist with on- going organizational expenses. Five computer information systems interns at non-profits found that they were constrained by unexpected budget, staffing and accountability issues. This paper shares some of their experiences and findings as their active learning process constantly tested their beliefs. The concrete consequences of their projects were motivators to be quick studies and sources of frustration as they struggled within the boundaries of limited resources. Learning to listen and respond Purdue University advisory board members voiced concerns that computer and information technology majors didn’t have the skills to communicate effectively with their teammates, customers and employers. A sister department agreed to change a sophomore-level course to meet this need. Although the intended outcomes weren’t realized through the curriculum change, a productive dialogue between departments began. This dialogue had a domino effect as computer and information technology majors began to take a presentation-based problem-solving course. Team teaching of project-based management courses with both information technology majors and organizational leadership majors occurred at the senior level. Some computer and information technology majors decided to add an organizational leadership minor or take an internship elective in the organizational leadership department. This paper discusses the experiences of five students in a service learning course that was taken as an elective by information technology students. The organizational leadership department requires its graduates to participate in a semester-long internship. Student interns volunteered
