Artifacts, events, and the roles of scrum framework shall be connected to the stakeholders, group meetings, and documents applying in the construction business. The developed model then supported to the conduct the case study. The study was conducted to the donor funded task that is sealed the time and project budget with its top limit.
IMPORTANCE OF ODISSI MUSIC IN ODISSI
DANCE
Authors: Nayak Manoranjan
Published: November 2019

Odissi music is the finest reconciliation of harmony with melody, which suffers no diminution of the essential quality of
the classical music.The individual character of Odissi Music makes every recital an interpretation and self-expression.
The unique identity of Odissi classical music lies in its presentation with equal importance to the Odissi dance and its
classical ornamentation.Both Odissi music and Odissi dance have retained its distinctive identity in spite of the diversity
in language, religion, and culture that was brought to Odisha's geographical localization by bridging the southern and
northern section of India. It is ironic that Odissi music which is the soul of Gotipua dance still continue to endure the
debate for its classical status whereas Odissi dance form has already attained the classical status along with its
contemporary classical dance forms of India.

“There are only a few people who claim to have no regrets in life and finances”. Retail investors are no exception.
Investment is a natural process wherein,an individual wants every rupee to earn even more rupees.Eventually,investors
get too excited at times about returns and certainly land up in regret zone.Though,behavioral finance has emerged as
interdisciplinary, complimentary science to explain stock market phenomenon and regret analysis is one thrust area
where much research is sporadic,especially in India.To explore the likelihood of regret and its impact on retail investor
behavior in portfolio investments,the present study is conducted.Unfolding the regrets of retail investors while lack of
adequate knowledge about portfolio management and peer effect as major reasons for such regrets.However,investors
did exhibit regrets in big way as they perceive the stock market to be volatile and risky.Further,there are is wide scope
for more studies viz., analysis of variance in regrets among different groups of investors and studies against different
demographic factors etc.,

Communication breakdowns during natural disasters can significantly restrict disaster management operations. Furthermore, the cellular networks may also be unreliable in these scenarios. Hence, establishing communication using alternative means is of importance in these scenarios.
In this paper, we propose a prototype system to establish communication (using wireless mesh network - WMN) through the use of stationary and mobile ground nodes, and aerial nodes using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This network is ad hoc and establishes connectivity without the use of a cellular network or internet. Our system provides a complete end to end architecture, where we deploy an android application on smart phones at the user-end, the ad hoc network comprising of stationary and mobile nodes, and a graphical user interface (GUI) at the base station that shows situational awareness. We use Robot Operating System (ROS) as the middleware for message synchronization and storage. We evaluate the system with three nodes for different system configurations by using UAV and a semi-autonomous car. Our experimental results show that the system could be indispensable in providing large scale connectivity.

Published: November 2019

The development in the area of networking is Internet of Things (IoT). This will interrelated the object and things together. The realization of IoT subsystems will be subjected to numerous constraints that include cost, power, energy, and lifetime. However, most challenging requirement will be trust. It is widely recognized that the attacks from malicious parties can activate from Internet to the physical word. Hence, trust of IoT is of essential importance. Therefore, trust management is considered as a efficient solution to IoT related issues. Trust management has useful technology for providing security service and it has been used in many applications such as P2P, Grid, adhoc network and so on. Thus the trust based routing algorithm in Internet of Things is proposed for providing a potential security system. With this, the major focus on the problem of trust on the malicious nodes in any environment.

Authors: S Balaji , Y Harold Robinson , Y Golden Julie
Published: November 2019

Multimedia file transmission with quality of service is the important issue in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks. The real-time data is in the form of audio file and the video file. These kinds of files can be divided into several data packets and the data packet is delivered from the begining node to the recipient node within the limited amount of time. The increase of throughput is possible only by means of secure data transmission. So, the secure data transmission methodology is used to implement the quality delivery of the multimedia files. The sequence of data packets are encoded and decoded using the encryption and the decryption process. The simulation results proved that the proposed method has the highest amount of throughput, delivery ratio and also improving the quality of service compared to all the other related methods.

Authors: S Smys , S. Raj Jennifer
Published: November 2019

Routing and mobile data traffic management is a major performance affecting issue in vehicular Ad Hoc networks (VANET). High-rise structures and such radio obstacles cause trouble in proper reception of signals when position-based routing schemes are used. Other major challenges include constrained mobility and irregular distribution of vehicular nodes. A stochastic mobile data traffic model is presented in this paper. This model offers security, reliability, safety and comfort for driving by overcoming the problems of traffic congestion, interference and jamming. It also addresses the handover (HO) issue that occurs during fast mobility. Along with this, the quality parameters of the system such as throughput, packet delivery ratio and delay are also evaluated.

Published: November 2019

Pandangan orang Jepang terhadap agama adalah sebagai ikatan budaya dan tradisi.  Memiliki dua atau lebih agama dalam kehidupan seseorang adalah sesuatu yang wajar, dan hal tersebut menjadikan salah satu karakteristik agama Jepang.  Dalam sejarahnya yang panjang, agama telah mengalami perkembangan, agama asli tetap dipertahankan walaupun muncul agama-agama baru, agama asli tetap hidup dengan harmonis meskipun terjadi sinkretisme. Ada beberapa agama yang ada di Jepang selain Shinto sebagai folk belieft dan sebagai kepercayaan, antara lain Budha, agama-agama Samawi, Shinshukyo dan agama-agama lainnya yang berdampingan secara harmonis. Meskipun dikatakan bahwa agama tidak penting dalam kehidupan orang Jepang, namun pada kenyataannya orang Jepang tetap meneruskan kehidupan keagamaan dalam perilaku mereka sebagai “penjaga tradisi”  kebudayaan mereka. Abstract
The Japanese view of religion as cultural ties and traditions. Having two or more religion in one’s life is something that is reasonable and that is became one of Japanese religion character. In its long history, religions have experienced growth, the original religion live harmony is maintained despite an emerging syncretism or religious. There are some religions that exist in Japan other than folk belieft Shinto as the belief among others, Buddhist, Samawi religions, Shinshukyo and others who live together in harmony. Although it is said that religion is not important in Japanese life, but in fact the Japanese continue to run as part of religious life in their behavior as culture “guardians of tradition”.

Abstract - Field Experience Program (PPL) is one of the subjects that should be followed by every student teacher including PAUD students. The implementation of PPL subjects is different from other subjects that are attended in class or held on campus in both theory and practice. In contrast to PPL subjects are subjects in the form of field experience practices as are the activities of teachers in general schools. The method used in this study is a qualitative method (qualitative research). This study uses descriptive analytic approach, which is descriptive descriptive data, and is interpreted in depth based on the perspective of emic that is the presentation of data naturally without doing a manipulation or treatment of the subjects studied (Bogdan and Taylor, 1975: 31). Competence of PPL students is marked by increasing the four competencies: pedagogic competence, personality competence, professional competence, and social competence. The knowledge that PPL students, pamong teachers, and lecturers have has an enormous role in PPL implementation. While the role of PPL groups and principals have less role in the implementation of PPL.

Published: November 2019

Abstrak - Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi tantangan dari sisi “role”/ “peran” yang dihadapi oleh para perawat Indonesia sekembalinya mereka dari Jepang ketika mereka  mulai bekerja sebagai perawat di rumah sakit di Indonesia. Data utama dalam penelitian ini berasal dari data kuisioner dan interview dengan 10 orang perawat Indonesia yang pernah bekerja di Jepang dalam kerangka IJ-EPA. Teori “peran”/ “role” digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk menganalisa tantangan yang para perawat ini hadapi ketika mulai bekerja di rumah sakit di Indonesia. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah para perawat ini cukup menghadapi kesulitan dan perlu beradaptasi kembali ketika melakukan tindakan medis seperti menyuntik, menginfus dan mengambil darah pasien. Hal ini disebabkan adanya peraturan di Jepang yang melarang mereka untuk melakukan tindakan medis apabila belum lulus ujian lisensi keperawatan Jepang. Akibatnya, sekembalinya di Indonesia dan mulai bekerja di rumah sakit di Indonesia mereka tidak dapat melakukan “role”/ “peran”nya sebagai perawat secara maksimal.

Abstract - This study focused to identify the challenge of the role that is faced by Indonesian nurse after they back from Japan and start to work as a nurse in hospital in Indonesia. The main data of this research is from questionnaire and interview, the author sent questionnaire and interviewed 10 respondents. From 10 respondents, 6 respondents have a work experience as nurse assistant and 4 respondents have a work experience as care worker assistant in Japan through IJ-EPA program. The author use role theory to analyze the challenge that is faced by Indonesian nurse after they back from Japan and start working as a  nurse in hospital in Indonesia. The conclusion is all of the respondents faced difficulties and need adaptation when they start working in hospital, especially in medical action such us doing injection, infusing, etc. This is because their skill in medical action decrease after they back from working in Japan. The reason why their medical action skill decrease is because they can not do medical action when they work as nurse assistant or care worker assistant in Japan, this is related to the regulation in Japan. Because of this, when they start to work in hospital in Indonesia they can not fullfil their role as a nurse maximally.

Este artículo de investigación presenta las herramientas conceptuales biopolítica, gubernamentalidad y subjetividad, del tercer período de pensamiento de Michel Foucault, permiten entender que la libertad no solo se presenta en tanto resistencia a la dominación, sino como ejercicio ético de auto- constitución. El Nodo Pensamiento Pedagógico Contemporáneo se apropia de estos instrumentos para emplearlos como rejilla analítica de los fenómenos educativos, con el objetivo de develar teóricamente y resistir en sus innovaciones esa pedagogía que, respondiendo a los imperativos del mercado, hace de la cátedra un ejercicio que doblega la voluntad e impide la gestación de una escuela otra.

WhatsApp como herramienta de apoyo al proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de la programación de computadores
Authors: Trejos Buriticá Omar Iván
Published: November 2019

El presente artículo expone los resultados obtenidos en una investigación de aula en un curso de programación de computadores; el propósito fue comparar el impacto del uso de WhatsApp en los estudiantes al emplearlo como herramienta de apoyo en el proceso de aprendizaje del paradigma funcional, frente a una metodología que no lo hizo. WhatsApp se usó para resolver inquietudes de los estudiantes y tener un canal directo y permanente de comunicación con ellos, enviar talleres, pistas sobre programación y escribir reflexiones sobre la relación entre ésta y el mundo moderno desde la experiencia del docente. Los resultados indican que si se aprovecha el servicio como aparato pedagógico es posible mejorar y promover el aprendizaje de programación, capitalizando la comunicación por texto, video, fotografía y audio provista por WhatsApp. Vale la pena que los docentes universitarios entren al mundo de los jóvenes y aprovechen los servicios que más usan para mantener una comunicación académica e informal con ellos; el uso de la WhatsApp mejora el aprendizaje de la programación de computadores en Ingeniería de Sistemas.

BOJACK HORSEMAN, OR THE EXHAUSTION OF POSTMODERNISM AND THE ENVISIONING OF A CREATIVE WAY OUT
Authors: Sánchez Saura Raúl
Published: November 2019

Postmodernism, as a hegemon, has determined the cultural coordinates of audiovisual products in the last decades. Since 2008, some shows have creatively questioned its main principles, such as superficiality, cynicism-bordering irony and the lack of alternative to all this (Francis Fukuyama’s end of history). BoJack Horseman (executive producers Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Noel Bright, Steven A. Cohen, Blair Fetter, Jane Wiseman, Will Arnett, Aaron Paul and Andy Weill, 2014–2019), the Netflix series, follows the struggles in the life of the eponymous character, star of the 1990s sitcom Horsin’ Around, and his exhaustion from the vacuity of life in Hollywood, United States. Surrounded by his peculiar entourage, viewers witness all sorts of unimportant nonsense and risible statements to ultimately engage in the story and meet old characters under a new light. After many seasons, our understanding of them changes and we are forced to revaluate our consideration of them, engaging sympathetically and leaving behind an individualist detachment some authors, like David Foster Wallace, criticised in the past. This only comes to happen because of the creative use of animation, the script and characters.
Habitability and Spectroscopic Observability of Warm M-dwarf Exoplanets Evaluated with a 3D Chemistry-Climate Model
Authors: Chen Howard , Wolf Eric T. , Zhan Zhuchang , Horton Daniel E.
Published: November 2019

Planets residing in circumstellar habitable zones offer us the best opportunities to test hypotheses of life’s potential pervasiveness and complexity. Constraining the precise boundaries of habitability and its observational discriminants is critical to maximizing our chances at remote life detection with future instruments. Conventionally, calculations of the inner edge of the habitable zone (IHZ) have been performed using both 1D radiative-convective and 3D general circulation models. However, these models lack interactive 3D chemistry and do not resolve the mesosphere and lower thermosphere region of the upper atmosphere. Here, we employ a 3D high-top chemistry-climate model (CCM) to simulate the atmospheres of synchronously rotating planets orbiting at the inner edge of habitable zones of K- and M-dwarf stars (between T
eff = 2600 and 4000 K). While our IHZ climate predictions are in good agreement with general circulation model studies, we find noteworthy departures in simulated ozone and HOx photochemistry. For instance, climates around inactive stars do not typically enter the classical moist greenhouse regime even with high (≳10−3 mol mol−1) stratospheric water vapor mixing ratios, which suggests that planets around inactive M-stars may only experience minor water-loss over geologically significant timescales. In addition, we find much thinner ozone layers on potentially habitable moist greenhouse atmospheres, as ozone experiences rapid destruction via reaction with hydrogen oxide radicals. Using our CCM results as inputs, our simulated transmission spectra show that both water vapor and ozone features could be detectable by instruments NIRSpec and MIRI LRS on board the James Webb Space Telescope.
The Relationship between 6.7 GHz Methanol Masers and Radio Recombination Lines in High-mass Star-forming Regions

Published: November 2019

We report a systematic survey of a 6.7 GHz Class II methanol maser toward a sample of 448 sources selected from the Red Midcourse Space Experiment Source catalog. These sample sources are composed of high-mass star-forming region (HMSFR) candidates and have been studied as tracers of HMSFRs, such as water masers or radio continuum emission of ultracompact H ii region. The survey was conducted using the Shanghai Tianma Radio Telescope. Through the observations, we simultaneously studied the 4.7 and 6.0 GHz excited-state interstellar hydroxyl (OH) maser lines and 10 hydrogen radio recombination lines (RRLs) in the C band. In total, we detected 6.7 GHz methanol masers and RRLs from 102 and 116 sources, respectively. In addition, 4, 3, and 10 sources exhibit OH masers at 4765.56, 6030.75, and 6035.09 MHz transitions, respectively. Through the survey, we identified four new 6.7 GHz methanol maser sources and three new excited-state OH maser sources (one at 4750 MHz and two at 6035 MHz). The statistical analysis demonstrated that there is a positive correlation of luminosity between 6.7 GHz methanol masers and RRLs. A good correlation of integrated luminosity between radio continuum emission and the 6.7 GHz methanol masers is presented with respect to the RRL emission sources. The average of the integrated luminosities of the RRLs in the sources with 6.7 GHz masers is greater than those without the 6.7 GHz masers; similarly, the average of integrated luminosities of the 6.7 GHz methanol masers in the sources with RRLs is greater than those without the RRLs. Moreover, we found that the averages of the emission measure and electron temperature of H ii regions associated with 6.7 GHz methanol masers are larger than those without the 6.7 GHz methanol masers. This suggests that the masers are most likely produced in high gas density and luminous regions with brighter RRLs and higher radio continuum emission.
Brans–Dicke Gravity with a Cosmological Constant Smoothes Out ΛCDM Tensions

Published: November 2019

We analyze Brans–Dicke gravity with a cosmological constant, Λ, and cold dark matter (BD-ΛCDM) in the light of the latest cosmological observations on distant supernovae, Hubble rate measurements at different redshifts, baryonic acoustic oscillations, large-scale structure formation data, gravitational weak-lensing, and the cosmic microwave background under full Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background likelihood. Our analysis includes both the background and perturbations equations. We find that BD-ΛCDM is observationally favored as compared to the concordance ΛCDM model, which is traditionally defined within General Relativity (GR). In particular, some well-known persisting tensions of the ΛCDM with the data, such as the excess in the mass fluctuation amplitude

and especially the acute H
0-tension with the local measurements, essentially disappear in this context. Furthermore, viewed from the GR standpoint, BD-ΛCDM cosmology mimics quintessence at

A new species of the water scavenger beetle, Laccobius (Glyptolaccobius) motuoensissp. nov., is described from Motuo County, Xizang, China and its diagnostic characters are illustrated. Examination of this new species and re-examination of previously described species revealed that the separation of the subgenus Glyptolaccobius Gentili, 1989 andCyclolaccobiusGentili, 1991 is artificial: both subgenera are hence combined here.Cyclolaccobiussyn. nov.is synonymized withGlyptolaccobius, and the latter is shown to be diagnosed by 7-segmented antennae as a unique synapomorphy. All species treated until now underCyclolaccobiusare here transferred toGlyptolaccobius, with the only exception ofL. hingstoniOrchymont, 1926,L. jumlanusGentili, 2015 andL. zugmayeriKnisch, 1910 which are tentatively transferred to the subgenus Hydroxenus Wollaston, 1867, as their antennae bear eight antennomeres. Three species are recorded for the first time from China: L. (Microlaccobius) orientalis Knisch, 1924 from Xizang, Laccobius (M.) exilis Gentili,1974 from Xinjiang, and Laccobius (M.) sublaevis J. Sahlberg, 1900 from Xinjiang. Additional faunistic data from China are provided for the following species: L.

L’influence du tabac sur la mortalité en Europe
Authors: Janssen Fanny
Published: November 2019

En Europe, l’épidémie de tabac a influé sur les niveaux et tendances de la mortalité, ainsi que sur les différences entre les sexes et entre les pays. En 2014, le tabac réduit l’espérance de vie des hommes de 2,7 ans en moyenne et celle des femmes de 1,0 an. Le tabac explique 28 % de l’écart d’espérance de vie entre les sexes. L’épidémie de tabac est la plus avancée dans le Nord-Ouest de l’Europe. L’effet du tabac y est en recul chez les hommes, mais n’a pas encore atteint son pic chez les femmes, et leurs mortalités dues au tabac sont proches. Sans le tabac, l’espérance de vie n’aurait pas stagné dans des pays comme le Danemark et les Pays-Bas chez les hommes dans les années 1950-1960, et chez les femmes dans les années 1980-1990. Elle aurait augmenté en général de façon plus importante, et les évolutions des hommes et des femmes auraient été plus proches.

Los resultados se refieren a los espacios establecidos en la lista de comprobación que sintetizan los espacios característicos de las 53 bibliotecas analizadas, de los que también se señalan las peculiaridades que presentan en las diferentes bibliotecas y en qué medida reflejan las últimas tendencias en relación a la organización y distribución de espacios.
Las referencias bibliográficas de los términos sobre enfermedades de transmisión sexual en la edición española de la Wikipedia
Authors: Sanz-Lorente María , Ruiz-Belda Paula , Wanden-Berghe Carmina , Sanz-Valero Javier
Published: November 2019

Este estudio quiso comprobar la corrección de las referencias bibliográficas existentes en los términos sobre enfermedades de transmisión sexual (ETS) de la edición española de la Wikipedia y probar su validez para acceder al documento fuente. De los resultados obtenidos se pudo concluir que el porcentaje de error de las referencias de los términos sobre ETS en la edición española de la Wikipedia fue elevado, variado y múltiple. Estos datos dificultan el proceso de transmisión de la información al no permitir recuperar la referencia para su consulta, interrumpiendo así el vínculo establecido entre la investigación actual, la precedente y la futura. Sería interesante extender la campaña «1Lib1Ref» a la corrección de las referencias bibliográficas ya existentes.
El lado oscuro de Internet: un estudio bibliométrico de la literatura sobre comportamientos adictivos en línea
Authors: Vega-Almeida Rosa Lidia , Arencibia-Jorge Ricardo
Published: November 2019

El presente estudio bibliométrico caracterizó la investigación sobre problemas médicos derivados del uso excesivo o inadecuado de Internet durante el período 2011-2017. Se identificaron en PubMed 1.178 artículos sobre conductas adictivas, que constituyeron el 2,7 % de la literatura biomédica mundial sobre Internet, y el 22,3 % de los trabajos que tienen a Internet como tópico principal. Se analizó el comportamiento anual de la producción científica, se identificaron las revistas y autores más productivos, y se determinaron los principales frentes de investigación a partir de técnicas bibliométricas. La adicción a los juegos en línea y la ciberpornografía, las alteraciones cognitivas asociadas a la adicción a Internet, y el sobreuso de teléfonos inteligentes y redes sociales, constituyen crecientes problemáticas identificadas en la literatura. Es indispensable el desarrollo de políticas públicas que estimulen el aprovechamiento de las ventajas de Internet y minimicen los riesgos de conductas patológicas en niños y adolescentes.

The Mediterranean Sea shows a trend of increasing temperature and decreasing productivity from the western to the eastern basin. In this work we investigate whether this trend is reflected in the cephalopod assemblages found throughout the Mediterranean. Data obtained with bottom trawl surveys carried out during the last 22 years by EU Mediterranean countries were used. In addition to analysing spatial differences in cephalopod assemblages, we also analysed putative temporal changes during the last two decades. For this purpose, the basin was spatially divided into bioregions, the trawling grounds were subdivided into depth strata, and the dataset was split into two time series of 11 years each. All analyses were done using PRIMER software. The species richness did not vary with the longitudinal gradient, though in most bioregions it showed a mild decrease with depth before plummeting in the deepest waters. Cluster analysis revealed four different bathymetric assemblages in all bioregions. Despite the contrasting conditions between basins and the claims of biodiversity loss, our study revealed that spatial and temporal differences during the last two decades were restricted to changes in the relative abundance of species from a common pool of species inhabiting the whole Mediterranean.

A new approach to recruitment overfishing diagnosis is presented. We hypothesize that condition of recruits should increase when recruitment failures are caused by fishing activity. This would be a consequence of the increase in trophic resource availability, because the population is smaller than that which the ecosystem could support. Temporal series of hake recruit condition were calculated from MEDITS survey data collected in Mediterranean geographical sub-areas (GSAs) 1, 6, 17 and 19 from 1994 to 2015. Multiple linear regressions were used to analyse the relationship between mean annual condition and abundance of recruits and climatic indices in each GSA. Significant correlations were only detected in GSA 6, where 69% of condition variability was explained by the negative correlation with recruit abundance, and with two climatic indices, the Western Mediterranean Oscillation and the standardized air temperature anomaly at surface from the Gulf of Lions. Despite the differences in recruit abundance among GSAs, their mean annual condition oscillated around the same basal value during most of the time series, pointing to density-dependent mortality rates as an important mechanism stabilizing hake recruitment to levels close to the carrying capacity when populations do not suffer recruitment overfishing. This pattern changed when the decreasing recruit abundance trend drove GSA 6 condition values persistently above those of the rest of the GSAs. According to our hypothesis, hake in GSA 6 is in recruitment overfishing.
Leadership development for missions in poor urban communities
Authors: Kabongo Kasebwe T.L.
Published: November 2019

Leadership development is an ongoing need in Africa. Good leadership is key to the building of any society. This article is written from the perspective of someone who lives in an African community of poverty. As he or she observes the many problems the African continent faces, he or she wonders about the role of the church to participate in seeking solutions to these problems. The article stresses that effective leadership development should equip people to be participants of the flourishing of their communities. It discusses the theological and missiological foundations of leadership as avenues to align leadership formation with the improvement of the quality of life of Africans living in communities of poverty. The researcher belongs to a missional community which focuses on discipling local residents, with the hope of nurturing agency from inside out. He uses the autoethnographic methodology to describe this case study of his missional community efforts.
Personality and job engagement among municipal workers in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa

Published: November 2019

Orientation: Although researchers have discovered many of the beneficial and positive consequences of job engagement, little is known about the multitude of antecedent factors that lead to employee engagement such as personality.Research purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the big five personality traits and job engagement among municipal workers.Motivation for the study: The motivation of this study is to examine the relationship between personality and psychological conditions. It was premised on previous research that personality is associated with many employees’ behaviours.Research approach/design and method: The present study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional research design by using a questionnaire on a sample of 403 district municipal workers in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa.Main findings: The study findings show that openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion and agreeableness had a positive relationship with job engagement, whereas neuroticism has a negative relationship with job engagement. Municipalities and educational qualifications had an impact of job engagement.Practical/managerial implications: The study recommends managers to switch from an intervention-based focus to a selection-based focus as municipalities can maximise their resources by being able to better predict job success early in the selection process as opposed to trying to maximise the performance on a continual basis through interventions.Contribution/value-add: This study adds to an understanding of the influences of personality on work outcomes such as job engagement, giving areas for exploration in coaching or feedback interviews based on personality assessment.
An Efficient Probability Estimation Decision Tree Postprocessing Method for Mining Optimal Profitable Knowledge for Enterprises with Multi-Class Customers
Authors: Naga Muneiah JanapatyI , SubbaRao Ch D V
Published: November 2019

Enterprises often classify their customers based on the degree of profitability in decreasing order like C1, C2, ..., Cn. Generally, customers representing class Cn are zero profitable since they migrate to the competitor. They are called as attritors (or churners) and are the prime reason for the huge losses of the enterprises. Nevertheless, customers of other intermediary classes are reluctant and offer an insignificant amount of profits in different degrees and lead to uncertainty. Various data mining models like decision trees, etc., which are built using the customers’ profiles, are limited to classifying the customers as attritors or non-attritors only and not providing profitable actionable knowledge. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for the automatic extraction of profit-maximizing knowledge for business applications with multi-class customers by postprocessing the probability estimation decision tree (PET). When the PET predicts a customer as belonging  to any of the lesser profitable classes, then, our algorithm suggests the cost-sensitive actions to change her/him to a maximum possible higher profitable status. In the proposed novel approach, the PET is represented in the compressed form as a Bit patterns matrix and the postprocessing task is performed on the bit patterns by applying the bitwise AND operations. The computational performance of the proposed method is strong due to the employment of effective data structures. Substantial experiments conducted on UCI datasets, real Mobile phone service data and other benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method remarkably outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.
