Authors: Cruz Delgado Daniela 
Published: March 2016

El análisis de la cultura organizacional se ha convertido en elemento central enlas organizaciones de todo tipo. Su ví­nculo con la empresa familiar es fundamental para comprender la conducta de los integrantes de este tipo de empresas cuyas caracterí­sticas particulares las hacen propias. El objetivo deeste estudio fue identificar el tipo de cultura organizacional dominante, actual y preferida, en las empresas familiares de servicios de Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas. El modelo utilizado fue el propuesto por Cameron y Quinn (1999), el cual distingue cuatro dimensiones de la cultura organizacional: clan, adhocrática, de mercado y jerarquizada. Se seleccionaron seis empresasde servicios. La cultura organizacional actual y deseada identificada en las empresas familiares objeto de análisis fue la cultura tipo Clan. En la que los integrantes tienen un alto sentido de pertenencia a la organización y suinteracción es como la de una gran familia. Un factor fundamental para la caracterización de la cultura organizacional predominante es el tiempo que llevan funcionando en el mercado. Las tres tipos restantes de la cultura organizacional presentaron cambios entre la actual y deseada, el cambio más notorio se dio entre la adhocrática y jerarquizada.

Academic Motivation And Self-Regulated Learning In Predicting Academic Achievement in College
Authors: Cetin Baris 
Published: March 2016

The purpose of this study was to determine whether academic motivation and academic self-regulated learning predicted students’ GPAs in the Early Childhood Education Department. The study participants consisted of 166 early childhood education majors enrolled in the 2014 spring semester at Georgia Southern University, USA. Data were gathered using the “academic motivation scale” developed by Vallerand et al. (1992), and the “academic self-regulated learning scale” developed by Mango (2010). The study’ s results showed that there was no correlation between GPA and academic motivation and academic self-regulation learning. In other words, the students’ academic motivation and academic self-regulated learning total scores, together, did not predict their GPA.
A Bibliometric Framework for Identifying “Princes” Who Wake up the “Sleeping Beauty” in Challenge-type Scientific Discoveries
Authors: Du Jian , Wu Yishan 
Published: March 2016

Abstract

Purpose
This paper develops and validates a bibliometric framework for identifying the “princes” (PR) who wake up the “sleeping beauty” (SB) in challenge-type scientific discoveries, so as to figure out the awakening mechanisms, and promote potentially valuable but not readily accepted innovative research. (A PR is a research study.)

Design/methodology/approach
We propose that PR candidates must meet the following four criteria: (1) be published near the time when the SB began to attract a lot of citations; (2) be highly cited papers themselves; (3) receive a substantial number of co-citations with the SB; and (4) within the challenge-type discoveries which contradict established theories, the “pulling effect” of the PR on the SB must be strong. We test the usefulness of the bibliometric framework through a case study of a key publication by the 2014 chemistry Nobel laureate Stefan W. Hell, who negated Ernst Abbe’s diffraction limit theory, one of the most prominent paradigms in the natural sciences.

Findings
The first-ranked candidate PR article identified by the bibliometric framework is in line with historical facts. An SB may need one or more PRs and even “retinues” to be “awakened.” Documents with potential awakening functionality tend to be published in prestigious multidisciplinary journals with higher impact and wider scope than the journals publishing SBs.

Research limitations
The above framework is only applicable to transformative innovations, and the conclusions are drawn from the analysis of one typical SB and her awakening process. Therefore the generality of our work might be limited.

Practical implications
Publications belonging to so-called transformative research, even when less frequently cited, should be given special attention as early as possible, because they may suddenly attract many citations after a period of sleep, as reflected in our case study.

Originality/value
The definition of PR(s) as the first paper(s) that cited the SB article (selfciting excluded) has its limitations. Instead, the SB-PR co-citations should be given priority in current environment of scholarly communication. Since the “premature” or “transformative” breakthroughs in the challenge-type SB documents are either beyond the current knowledge domain, or violate established paradigms, people’s psychological distance from the SB is larger than that from the PR, which explains why the annual citations of the PR are usually higher than those of the SB, especially prior to or during the SB’s citation boom period.
O bibliotecário como gestor: a percepção dos estudantes de biblioteconomia
Authors: Gomes Ingrid , Santos Danielle Silva dos , Faria Marina Dias 
Published: March 2016

O contexto sócio-político-econômico vigente exige das organizações e dos indivíduos aptidão para gerenciar mudanças, mobilizar pessoas, além de administrar recursos de forma a obter vantagem competitiva. Dessa forma, profissionais e empresas buscam estratégias de gestão e de carreiras para corresponder a esse mercado. Com isso, as universidades tentam atrair estudantes por meio de programas de graduação em diversas áreas com ênfase na formação gerencial. O objetivo principal da pesquisa foi investigar a percepção dos estudantes de Biblioteconomia a respeito de sua formação na área de gestão e a sua futura atuação como gestor. Para compor o material de estudo, os estudantes elaboraram colagens a partir de suas observações e atuação como alunos do curso e como gestores no mercado de trabalho. Constatou-se que durante o estudo de gestão, os estudantes passam por inúmeras dificuldades e uma constante necessidade de crescimento. Entretanto, os estudantes parecem acreditar que ao se tornarem gestores irão obter sucesso profissional, dinheiro e bens materiais. Isso faz parecer que todas as adversidades ocorridas durante o estudo valerão a pena, devido ao futuro promissor que vislumbram. Por fim, nota-se que a inserção das disciplinas de gestão possibilita uma inovação curricular relevante aos futuros bibliotecários, além de contribuírem para a formação de profissionais que correspondam à demanda do mercado.
Recurrent Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Published: March 2016

➢ Most patients (>90%) will have continued or recurrent symptoms after primary cubital tunnel release. Those patients with severe preoperative findings are at a higher risk of failure.➢ Failed primary surgery may be due to diagnostic, technical, or biologic factors.➢ Revision surgical interventions can provide relief, but there is no consensus on what is the optimal technique.➢ The options for revision surgery include simple neurolysis, neurolysis with subcutaneous transposition, and neurolysis with submuscular transposition. Autogenous (vein) and non-autogenous nerve wraps may be placed around the nerve to prevent cicatrix reformation.
A Novel Enhanced-Oil-Recovery Screening Approach Based on Bayesian Clustering and Principal-Component Analysis
Authors: Siena Martina , Guadagnini Alberto , Rossa Ernesto Della , Lamberti Andrea , Masserano Franco , Rotondi Marco 
Published: March 2016

Summary
We present and test a new screening methodology to discriminate among alternative and competing enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) techniques to be considered for a given reservoir. Our work is motivated by the observation that, even if a considerable variety of EOR techniques was successfully applied to extend oilfield production and lifetime, an EOR project requires extensive laboratory and pilot tests before fieldwide implementation and preliminary assessment of EOR potential in a reservoir is critical in the decision-making process. Because similar EOR techniques may be successful in fields sharing some global features, as basic discrimination criteria, we consider fluid (density and viscosity) and reservoir-formation (porosity, permeability, depth, and temperature) properties. Our approach is observation-driven and grounded on an exhaustive database that we compiled after considering worldwide EOR field experiences. A preliminary reduction of the dimensionality of the parameter space over which EOR projects are classified is accomplished through principal-component analysis (PCA). A screening of target analogs is then obtained by classification of documented EOR projects through a Bayesian-clustering algorithm. Considering the cluster that includes the EOR field under evaluation, an intercluster refinement is then accomplished by ordering cluster components on the basis of a weighted Euclidean distance from the target field in the (multidimensional) parameter space. Distinctive features of our methodology are that (a) all screening analyses are performed on the database projected onto the space of principal components (PCs) and (b) the fraction of variance associated with each PC is taken as weight of the Euclidean distance that we determine. As a test bed, we apply our approach on three fields operated by Eni. These include light-, medium-, and heavy-oil reservoirs, where gas, chemical, and thermal EOR projects were, respectively, proposed. Our results are (a) conducive to the compilation of a broad and extensively usable database of EOR settings and (b) consistent with the field observations related to the three tested and already planned/implemented EOR methodologies, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach.
Rainforest Connectivity Strategies for Oil and Gas Development
Authors: Thurber M. W. , Abad G. H. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Road and pipeline right-of-way construction in high-diversity tropical rainforest has isolated populations of arboreal animals that depend on the canopy as their principal habitat and pathways. Walsh and Petroamazonas EP developed a robust and safe engineering solution to recreate canopy connection using artificial canopy bridges spanning up to 35 m across a multi-use corridor to facilitate the movement of arboreal mammals in ecologically protected areas in Ecuador.
The following criteria were used for design and installation of artificial canopy bridges: resistance to wind, movement of trees, and decay; facilitate the sway of trees; tested at a zoo for animal acceptance and resistance to chewing; installation in robust trees with minimal root damage during earth movement; locate in areas with arboreal presence or "canopy trails", install at a sufficient height as not to interfere with the field logistics, use light-weight materials so the bridges could transported and installed without the use of motorized equipment. Wildlife cameras were installed to record use by arboreal mammals.
Trained arborists and tree-climbers strung ropes through branch crotches and scaled the anchor trees. Anchor holes were drilled (between 10 m and 25 m above the ground surface) with potable electric drills in trunks and large branches; treaded rod and eyebolt anchors were installed in these holes; the bridges were then raised, attached and adjusted; and finally motion and heat activated cameras were installed to record (day and night) animal use over time. Six (6) bridges were installed across a right-of-way consisting of a road with an adjacent pipeline, communication cable and power cable; and five (5) bridges were installed across a cross-country pipeline. These artificial canopy bridges have been designed to last over 10 years, which will allow for natural regrowth of branches across the right-of-way and reconnection of the canopy. The motion and heat-activated cameras included sealant and desiccant to avoid damage from humidity, and were bolted to tree trunks on brackets to properly orient the lens towards the bridges and resist animal damage. The eight (8) installed cameras have been collecting photos for approximately 11 months. The following animals have been photographed on or near the bridges: olingo, porcupine, and various species of monkeys.
This experiment in recreating canopy connection demonstrates that fragmented arboreal habitats can be reconnected artificially in areas where natural canopy bridges cannot be maintained due to wide right-of ways. These artificial bridges and motion and heat activated cameras provide an important research opportunity for biologists studying behavior of arboreal animals, since canopy access is logistically challenging.
When MEDEVAC is a Challenge: An Innovative, Easily Deployable, Fully Integrated Medical Support, Proven in Arctic Conditions
Authors: Sicard Bruno , Marouze Frédéric , Roche Céline , Sailliol Anne 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
In many places, Medevac is either technically challenging due to length (5 days in our experience in Arctic conditions), lack of quality medical support ashore, or hostile environment. To mitigate medical risks in these extreme environments, the authors implemented an innovative integrated medical support solution onboard seismic vessels since 2013.
To limit unnecessary Medevac, we emphasized on the upgrade of diagnostic tools, through rapidly deployable mobile digital X-ray, ultrasound, and point of care laboratory automates. These equipment were used by a specifically trained medical team including an emergency physician and a registered nurse backed up by an adapted top side support.
Therapeutic tools were also upgraded and the most dramatic improvement was the implementation of Fresh Whole Blood Transfusion (FWBT) and Lyophilized Plasma to address trauma induced life threatening hemorrhages and slow uncontrolled bleedings from medical origin (mostly gastro intestinal). The authors are presenting the different steps (most of them conducted onboard at sea) involved in the complex process of FWBT, from blood donors' qualifications and management to actual transfusions. The pros and cons of blood transfusion in extreme remote environment are discussed, including, health care professionals training, equipment requirements, legal and ethical issues, decision making in complex blood group matching, medical benefits and risks. Some clinical examples will be provided to illustrate the medical context in the oil & gas industry working environment in remote area and how this fully integrated onboard hospital address them.
Finally based on experience in Arctic and other extreme environment the authors developed others medical solutions, more agile to support scouting surveys. This whole range of medical services aims to make oil and gas operations safer in the most extreme environments.
Corporate Transformation to Embrace a Positive Safety Culture
Authors: Sugimoto Toru , Mantellini Daniel Guilarte , Salmhofer Alfons 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
Changing the way each and every employee embraces a positive safety behavior is a slow and challenging process, which involves unconditional commitment from the most senior Management of the Organization. It is imperative to start this journey with a mature concept that has been agreed upon by the Corporate Management. Key element of this "Journey" is carrying out periodic social and team building activities at all levels, led by the Top Management of the Organization. These activities encourage all employees to embrace the journey together with the Management and create a strong bond between employees across all levels of Organization. The program that JGC has adopted to transform the Corporation and its employees from "I must" to "I want" attitude is the "Incident and Injury Free" (IIF) Program, developed and facilitated by JMJ Associates. This comprehensive program encompasses both, the development of leadership skills, as well as positive safety culture.
JGC encountered the IIF program first time in 2007 on one of its Projects, where it was introduced by the Client as a safety culture program. JGC, as the EPCM Contractor, adopted the program and implemented it site wide. The program significantly helped building a robust and honest relationship between Client, JGC and its Subcontractors, which resulted in a positive safety culture Project wide.
Based on the experience with the IIF program at this Project, JGC realized its value and introduced it on more than ten (10) of its Overseas Projects from the year 2010 onwards, resulting in remarkable safety performance records on all of these Projects. In 2011, JGC expanded the IIF program also to its domestic Projects in Japan, ensuring that the IIF concept of building good relationship between employees and Management is implemented Corporate wide.

Authors: Kilskar S. S. , Øien K. , Tinmannsvik R. K. , Heggland J. E. , Hinderaker R. H. , Wiig S. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Major accidents, such as the Texas City refinery explosion in 2005 and the Macondo well blowout in 2010, confirm the need for process safety indicators. However, despite increased attention on process safety indicators, there is no proof and agreement about valid, effective and reliable indicators. The principle objective of the research initiated by the Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) has been to improve the knowledge of safety relevant indicators in the petroleum industry, in particular related to validity, effectiveness and reliability. A focused literature review was carried out to provide information on the three stated subjects or research questions (RQs): RQ1. What does the literature state about relationships between indicators and major accident risk? RQ2. What does the literature state about the effect of use of indicators? RQ3. What does the literature state about the conditions in the surroundings or the context having an impact on the reliability of the indicator? The literature review covered recent literature (from 2009) on the use of indicators in high risk industries, and a total of 174 documents were reviewed. In addition, implications and possible challenges to the petroleum industry and authorities were discussed and results outlined. Altogether 15 specific challenges are addressed, pointing at both the industry/companies and the authorities, but also the research institutions. A main conclusion is that there is lack of documented relationships between indicators and major accident risk, proven effects of the use of indicators and proof of conditions affecting the reliability of the indicators. More empirical research is needed to document the validity, effectiveness and reliability of process safety indicators.

Authors: Fossgard-Moser Titus , Back Harald 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
This paper summarizes the approach adopted by Statoil Tanzania in its capacity as operator of Block 2, towards local content, both for its past offshore exploration activities, as well as planning for the future potential development and operations phase of a project combining supply of domestic gas with LNG export. Within the context of Statoil Tanzania's business activities in Tanzania, the first section of the paper summarizes the internal and external drivers for local content. The next section then addresses the overall strategic framework developed to assist the application of a consistent approach to local content across all aspects of Statoil Tanzania's activities. The third section of the paper then looks at the practical application of this framework in the implementation of local content during Statoil Tanzania's offshore exploration activities, as well as the ongoing planning activities to support local content during the potential development and operations’ phases of the project. The final section of the paper summarizes key conclusions.
Developing and Implementing a Customized Standard to Manage Social and Environmental Risk in Project-Managed Assets
Authors: Dvorak Stephanie , Gonzalez Jairo Alberto , Artola Ricardo , Lopez Juan Carlos , Abrahams Nicholas 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Project-managed assets present social and environmental impact management specifics that require a fit-for-context approach to risk management. On the one hand, most social and environmental management processes remain under the control and responsibility of the operator, as for traditional projects. On the other hand, the project managers typically have a greater presence in operational-related activities, which puts them in the front line in relation to communities and expectations. This context can generate the need for a more extensive and aligned approach along the value chain than has been traditionally required. This paper addresses this type of scenario.
An oilfield services company developed and implemented its own social and environmental management standard for co-managing partner projects under long-term agreements. The standard requires the deployment of fundamental controls to manage the social and environmental performance of the projects, bridge with existing standards, and provide management with a consistent and efficient risk-based approach to manage the impact on operations in local communities.
The key features of the standard, based on the company's experiences in developing and implementing the new standard, are the use of checklists and scorecards to verify performance improvements, the lessons learned in creating a process, aligning roles and responsibilities, and developing capacity and integrating management systems. The standard was implemented in a mature brownfield, and since implementation, it has driven continuous performance improvements.
The lessons learned from implementation of the standard can be used to improve the alignment of roles and responsibilities for social and environmental performance between service companies and oil and gas operators, as well as partnerships with national oil companies or private local operators.
