The Audit of SME’s Informatics Systems

2018

Basically, ERP implies a policy that reflects what it means to think and act for the purpose of economic processes and is therefore considered a strategic management solution. The new business model with process-focused operations increases productivity and meets the economic performance standards. The economic operational stages must be integrated in order to trigger workflows, to control the flow of information, and to create connections between the organization, suppliers, and customers. All this requires organizational changes, technological updates, and, eventually, a new identity for the organization itself. The present paper proposes a specific approach to the procedures needed to pe…

The Multifaceted Nature of Agency and Professional Learning

2017

The present volume has aimed to cover a broad range of approaches to agency at work, exploring its relationship with professional learning and development. Thus, the chapters included in this book have discussed the role of agency in learning and development, considering a variety of working life contexts and applying both conceptual and empirical perspectives. This final chapter provides an overview of both the conceptual approaches and the empirical implementations. We see the perspectives as complementary. From the content of the book, we discern the phenomena as falling on two main dimensions, clustering at opposite ends of these dimensions. Thus, the following contrasts are evidenced: …

Embedded multi-spectral image processing for real-time medical application

2016

International audience; The newly introduced Kubelka-Munk Genetic Algorithm (KMGA) is a promising technique for the assessment of skin lesions from multi-spectral images. Using five skin parameter maps such as concentration or epidermis/dermis thickness, this method combines the Kubelka-Munk Light-Tissue interaction model and Genetic Algorithm optimization process to produce a quantitative measure of cutaneous tissue. Up to the present, variant improved KMGA implementations have been successfully realized using the recent parallel computing techniques. However, all these achievements are based on the multi-core CPUs. This results in a quite high cost and low practicability for the hardware …

Adaptive Hardware Implementation for the Deblocking Filter Used in H.264/AVC Using System GeneratorEnter title

2016

International audience; Xilinx System Generator is a Matlab/Simulink high-level based design tool especially for the development of complex digital circuits using Hardware Description Language (HDL). In this paper we propose a high level model for the deblocking filter used in H.264/AVC using System Generator of Matlab/Simulink. Synthesis results are compared with implementations realized using RTL level. The proposed model allows for rapid edits of the architectures and permits the implementation of filters used in other standards and norms (HEVC for example). The proposed implementations are verified using Xilinx-Virtex5 platforms.

Subaltern Agency and Language Education Policy: Implementing a language policy for on the ground

2011

The focus in this paper is on the implementation of language policy in education. It explores and discusses the notion of subaltern agency in an education organization. Recent language policy research highlights individual and collective agency in the processes of language use, attitudes and policies. People on the ground, charged with implementation are not the passive receivers of policies or the vague resistors once depicted in research accounts, referring to public body practitioners, but social actors who can exercise subaltern agency. The aim is to show that language policies are not merely implemented, but are actually shaped on the ground. Examples of subaltern agency from a case st…

Una política juvenil para promover el desarrollo local: un estudio de caso

2019

El artículo presenta un estudio de caso de una política juvenil realizada en la última década en una región del Sur de Italia. Su interés reside en la versatilidad, el enfoque multidimensional y en el hecho de haber actuado como un óptimo instrumento de desarrollo local. El estudio de caso se ha realizado a través del análisis documental de las evaluaciones ex -ante, durante y ex – post que se hicieron para valorar el impacto de la política. La reflexión que el caso propone se enfoca en cómo se puede promover eficazmente el desarrollo local a través de políticas más trasversales.

Theory-Based Interventions Combining Mental Simulation and Planning Techniques to Improve Physical Activity: Null Results from Two Randomized Control…

2016

Interventions to assist individuals in initiating and maintaining regular participation in physical activity are not always effective. Psychological and behavioral theories advocate the importance of both motivation and volition in interventions to change health behavior. Interventions adopting self-regulation strategies that foster motivational and volitional components may, therefore, have utility in promoting regular physical activity participation. We tested the efficacy of an intervention adopting motivational (mental simulation) and volitional (implementation intentions) components to promote a regular physical activity in two studies. Study 1 adopted a cluster randomized design in wh…
