Industrial smart product service systems solution design via hybrid concerns
Year: 2019

Enabled by the third and fourth waves of Information Technology (IT) innovation, together with the sustainable concerns towards a circular economy, manufacturing industries are shifting rapidly towards a service oriented paradigm in the smart, connected environment, i.e. smart product service systems (Smart PSS) Owing to its unique characteristics, it reshapes the solution design (product service design) with several hybrid concerns. This research, as an explorative study, underlines three general ones at the macro level, i.e. design and redesign as an overall value generation process (hybrid design) human and machine intelligence integration (hybrid intelligence) and technical and business innovation (hybrid value) Accordingly, novel design methods, intelligent systems, and value co creation models are envisioned at the micro level to assure industrial Smart PSS solution design success. To make our visions concrete, two prospective application scenarios leveraging abovementioned hybrid concerns are given at last. It is hoped this work can contribute to the future directions of this interdisciplinary research area, and offer insightful guidance to industrial companies in their solution design process with profitable outcomes.
Composite vignettes of Swedish male and female professional handball players' career paths
Venue: Sport in Society
Year: 2019

The aim of this study was to describe gender specific career paths of Swedish professional handball players. A reanalysis of Ekengren et al. (2018) career interviews with nine male and nine female players led to creating two composite vignettes using the athletes' own words, accounted for typical features in the male and female players' career paths. Seven themes were identified in the analysis of the men's transcripts and eight themes derived from the women's transcripts. Further, the themes of both vignettes were aligned with career stages described in our previous study (Ekengren et al. 2018) The male players' vignette is interpreted as a performance narrative congruent with elite handball culture that promotes performance success and profitable professional contracts. The female players' vignette is more holistic, embracing handball, studies, motherhood, and how they ought to be as Swedish women. Recommendations for future research are provided.
Corporate Social Responsibility and Stakeholder Theory: Learning From Each Other
Year: 2017

This paper explores the relationship between two major concepts in business ethics stakeholder theory and corporate social responsibility (CSR) We argue that CSR is a part of corporate responsibilities (company responsibilities to all stakeholders) and show that there is a need for both concepts in business ethics, and their applicability is dependent on a particular problem we want to solve. After reviewing some criticisms of CSR covering wrongdoing and creating false dichotomies, we suggest that incorporating some findings from recent research on stakeholder theory can help align both concepts and overcome the criticisms. At the end of the article, we outline potential directions for future research on CSR.

WithYou a communication system to provide out together feeling
Venue: AVI
Year: 2012

In this paper, we present a video based communication system that provides an Out Together Feeling. In other words, it makes a pair of users, one outdoors and the other indoors, feel as if they are going outside together. To achieve this, it is important that both users (1) can freely peruse the outdoor user's surroundings, (2) can see what the outdoor user is looking at, and (3) can focus together on the same point. To realize these features, we have designed and implemented a system called WithYou. It consists of two subsystems: a wearable system for the outdoor user and an immersive space for the indoor user. The indoor user wears an HMD and watches video from a Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera mounted on the outdoor user's chest. Thus, the indoor user can look around by simply turning his/her head to the left or right. The orientation of the outdoor user's face is also displayed on the HMD screen to indicate where he/she is looking. In the preliminary test, both users experienced the Out Together Feeling to some extent.
The Capacity of Private Information Retrieval from Byzantine and Colluding Databases
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
Year: 2019

We consider the problem of single round private information retrieval (PIR) from <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$N$ /tex math>/inline formula> replicated databases. We consider the case when <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$B$ /tex math>/inline formula> databases are outdated (unsynchronized) or even worse, adversarial (Byzantine) and therefore, can return incorrect answers. In the PIR problem with Byzantine databases (BPIR) a user wishes to retrieve a specific message from a set of <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$M$ /tex math>/inline formula> messages with zero error, irrespective of the actions performed by the Byzantine databases. We consider the <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$T$ /tex math>/inline formula> privacy constraint in this paper, where any <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$T$ /tex math>/inline formula> databases can collude, and exchange the queries submitted by the user. We derive the information theoretic capacity of this problem, which is the maximum number of <italic>correct symbols</italic> that can be retrieved privately (under the <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$T$ /tex math>/inline formula> privacy constraint) for every symbol of the downloaded data. We determine the exact BPIR capacity to be <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$C=(N 2B)/N \cdot (1 T/(N 2B)(1 (T/(N 2B){M} /tex math>/inline formula> if <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$2B+T N$ /tex math>/inline formula> This capacity expression shows that the effect of Byzantine databases on the retrieval rate is equivalent to removing <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$2B$ /tex math>/inline formula> databases from the system, with a penalty factor of <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"(N 2B)/N$ /tex math>/inline formula> which signifies that even though the number of databases needed for PIR is effectively <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$N 2B$ /tex math>/inline formula> the user still needs to access the entire <inline formula> <tex math notation="LaTeX"$N$ /tex math>/inline formula> databases. The result shows that for the unsynchronized PIR problem, if the user does not have any knowledge about the fraction of the messages that are mis synchronized, the single round capacity is the same as the BPIR capacity. Our achievable scheme extends the optimal achievable scheme for the robust PIR (RPIR) problem to correct the <italic>errors</italic> introduced by the Byzantine databases as opposed to <italic>erasures</italic> in the RPIR problem. Our converse proof uses the idea of the cut set bound in the network coding problem against adversarial nodes.
The Persistence of Oral Health Disparities for African American Children: A Scoping Review
Venue: International journal of environmental research and public health
Year: 2019

Oral health is an important yet often neglected component of overall health, linked to heart disease, stroke, and diabetic complications. Disparities exist for many groups, including racial and ethnic minorities such as African Americans. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential factors that perpetuate oral health care disparities in African American children in the United States. A systematic search of three literature databases produced 795 articles; 23 articles were included in the final review. Articles were analyzed using a template coding approach based on the social ecological model. The review identified structural, sociocultural, and familial factors that impact the ability of African Americans to utilize oral care services, highlighting the importance of the parent/caregiver role and the patient provider relationship; policy level processes that impact access to quality care; the value of autonomy in treatment and prevention options; and the impact of sociocultural factors on food choices (e.g. food deserts, gestures of affection) In conclusion, oral health care remains an underutilized service by African American children, despite increasing access to oral care secondary to improvements in insurance coverage and community based programs.
Study of Achievement Motivation in Relation to Academic Achievement of Students
Year: 2011

One of the most important factors that lead one to their goals is the drive. This drive is known as motivation. It is a zest and determination with a kind of excitement that leads one to persevere to reach greater heights, in no matter what avenue of their life; be it personal or professional. The drive may come from an internal or external source. The individual determines this. The factors that motivate an individual keep changing as one climbs the ladder of age and maturity. And also, achievement of one goal sets the ball rolling for another one to be achieved. Thus, to be motivated is a constant need. There are times when one faces a period of de motivation and everything seems bleak. It is then that they need to find what would motivate them back into action. For every individual there is a variable driving force. In fact, it is not just a single factor, but a combination of factors that lead people to achieve their goals. The fact is that with routine monotony steps in and then everything seems like stagnant waters. It feels like there is nothing new. Breaking this cycle of monotony has helped many bounce back with enthusiasm. This is why human resource managers create a training calendar, which will take away employees from the routine they are stuck to, as well as enhance their skills in various areas. Others pursue hobbies during the weekend, thus giving them something to look forward to, as each week comes to a close. There are people who redefine their goals and ambitions from time to time in order to fill them with newer levels of enthusiasm to achieve greater feats. One needs to take stalk every now and then and find the motivator required to carry them through. The word motivation is coined from the Latin word "movere" which means to move. Motivation is defined as an internal drive that activates behavior and gives it direction. The term motivation theory is concerned with the processes that describe why and how human behavior is activated and directed. It is regarded as one of the most important areas of study in the field of organizational behavior. There are two different categories of motivation theories such as content theories, and process theories. Even though there are different motivation theories, none of them are universally accepted. Also known as need theory,
Dataset on the global patent networks within and between vehicle powertrain technologies Cases of ICEV, HEV, and BEV
Venue: Data in brief
Year: 2020

The emergence of networks is a crucial channel for automotive organisations to build and diffuse the required environmental innovations in the transportation sector and accelerate the transition to the green mobility economy. This article contains the dataset regarding the global patents networks shaped both within and between the three vehicle powertrains of internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and battery electric vehicle (BEV) for the period of 1985 2016. The data was acquired from Thomson Reuters' Derwent Innovations Index (DII) platform using the elements of 'patent families' and 'priority dates' We describe the dataset for the three major automotive periods of 'towards sustainable mobility' (1985 1996) 'towards hybridisation' (1997 2007) and 'towards mass commercialisation' (2008 2016) The dataset bears on two levels, individual and mutual, and we used a separate combined search strategy of keywords and IPCs codes (international patent classification) for each level. At individual level, we explored the internal network features of each powertrain individually (i.e. ICEV, HEV, and BEV) Monitoring a total of 78,732 patents in the three individual powertrain networks, we discovered a total of 1856 unique parent organisations connecting vis a vis 5849 bilateral relationships and operating around 4450 joint patents. At mutual level, we explored the mutually common network features of the powertrains (i.e. ICEV HEV, HEV BEV, and BEV ICEV) Monitoring a total of 4702 patents in the three mutual powertrain networks, we discovered a total of 102 unique parent organisations connecting vis a vis 384 bilateral relationships and operating around 303 joint patents. These organisations were found specialised around 435 unique subgroup level IPC codes, of which 134 codes were related to environmentally friendly innovations. The dataset presented in this article is used in  and allows researchers not only to map and model the network dynamics and structures within and between the powertrains at global level, but also to analyse and forecast their knowledge flows, technical domains and environmental innovations aspect, using a wide range of models such as social network analysis or regression.

Year: 2015

The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of Mobile Homework on students' (1) learning outcomes, (2) ability in answering questions based on Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive domain, (3) homework scores, (4) homework quality, and to analyze (5) the correlation between leaning outcomes and average homework score, (6) the correlation between leaning outcomes and average homework quality score, (7) students' perception on mobile learning, (8) student' rate of homework submission, and (9) the rate of homework submission among male and female students. Three classes of students from three different public senior high schools in Medan, North Sumatera Province, Indonesia, were clustery selected and assigned with mobile homework, while other three classes of students were given with paper based homework. Students' learning outcomes were measured with multiple choice tests and essay test, while rating scales was used to assess students' homework quality. Data of perception on the mobile homework were derived from questionnaire filled by the students. The data were analyzed with Quade Non parametric ANCOVA, Mann Whitney U test, Spearman rank correlation, and Chi Square using SPSS and MYSTAT v.13.1 software packages. Results showed that Mobile Homework had significantly effected student' (1) learning outcomes (F 56.38 P 0.00) (2) ability in answering C3 (Application) and C4 (Analysis Synthesis) questions (U 3, 130.00; P 0.00) (3) ability in answering C5 (Evaluation) and C6 (Creation) questions (U 3.643,00; P 0.00) (4) homework scores (U 1,090.00; P 0.00) (5) homework quality (U 3, 194.00; P 0.00) of the experimental class compare with those who were given with paper based homework, while (6) there was a moderate, positive correlation between homework scores and learning outcomes (rs 0.47; P 0.05, and (9) the frequency and total percentage of both experimental and control group with regards to their gender, showed that male student in general have lower complete mobile homework submission compared with female students. Students at experimental class are in general show a positive perception towards mobile learning. Thus, mobile homework with its mobile learning feature has a number of advantages over traditional paper based homework

A description of Canadian epilepsy monitoring units: An initial step toward developing nursing practice consensus guidelines
Venue: Epilepsy Behavior
Year: 2016

The epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) is a well established resource for investigating patients' seizures but is known to be heterogeneous in organization and clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of similarities and differences in EMU characteristics across Canada, with specific emphasis on EMU organization and nursing resources, which were currently unknown. Results would be used to develop a consensus on best nursing practice guidelines in EMUs with the goal to improve patient care and safety during epilepsy monitoring admissions.  An 18 item survey was developed addressing EMU locations, types, nursing ratios, nursing roles, and other allied health resources. Surveys were distributed to lead nurses, physicians, and administrators in 29 EMUs across Canada. Results were tabulated and presented for each question in the survey.  All EMUs were located in urban, teaching centers and divided similarly by patient age. The survey demonstrated considerable variability in EMU bed location and organization with the majority of EMUs being smaller, open units embedded in wards rather than larger, closed units. Independent of patient acuity, variability also existed in nurse to patient ratios, nursing skill level, specialty nursing support, and EEG technician availability. These findings highlight that EMU heterogeneity contributes to the challenges in the development of standardized safe care practices and that nursing education and nursing best practice recommendations need to be developed with baseline EMU nursing competencies, skills, and knowledge in mind.
Transformational Leadership and Contextual Performance: A Quantitative Study among Nursing Staff in Kuala Lumpur
Year: 2018

The role of nurses in the health care sector is critical and the demand for nurses in Malaysia is expected to reach 130,000 qualified nurses by 2020. This paper investigated the influence of transformational leadership on contextual performance of nurses in Kuala Lumpur. Past research revealed that employee sustainable performance is positively influenced by transformational leadership. However, there is a dearth of studies on the relationship between transformational leadership and employees' contextual performance in the nursing sector in Kuala Lumpur. The present study attempts to fill the research gap by investigating the influence of intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration, inspirational motivation and idealized influence towards better contextual performance This was a quantitative research and data was gathered through self administered questionnaires from 135 nurses in Kuala Lumpur. The SPSS software was used, and the findings revealed that intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration, inspirational motivation and idealized influence had a positive correlation with contextual performance. The findings suggest that the four dimensions are interdependent, and they harmonize to yield better contextual performance. The findings of this study have practical implications in nursing leadership. Transformational leadership enables leaders in the nursing sector to motivate nurses and implement change effectively. This study is one of very few studies which have investigated the effect of transformational leadership on employee's contextual performance in the nursing sector in Kuala Lumpur. The results of this study will add to the current body of knowledge plus assist in creating foundational solutions to improve performance of nurses.
