The Relationship between Employee Environmental Awareness and Current Environmental Management System
2020
Background. Many publications have studied environmental management systems. Once a system is implemented and maintained, it should affect employee environmental awareness – the question is to what extent it does so. To date, published studies have defined awareness and highlighted its importance. The author, as a practitioner, was interested in whether the positive opinion about the system expressed in the system documentation (audit reports) was relevant for the development of environmental awareness of managers and employees. Research aims. Therefore, the purpose of this article was to establish the relationship between the state of the environmental management system and the environmen…
Incorporating teacher-student dialogue into digital course material : Usage patterns and first experiences
2020
This work-in-progress research investigates teacher-student communication via Learning Management Systems (LMS) in highly populated courses. An LMS called TIM (The Interactive Material) includes a specific commenting technology that attempts to make teacher-student dialog effortless. The research goal is to explore students’ willingness to use the technology and identify patterns of usage. To these ends, a survey with both Likert and open-ended questions was issued to CS1 and CS2 students. A favorable student evaluation was observed while several critical viewpoints that inform technology development were revealed. We noticed that besides appreciating the possibility of making comments, man…
Exploiting Data Analytics and Deep Learning Systems to Support Pavement Maintenance Decisions
2021
Road networks are critical infrastructures within any region and it is imperative to maintain their conditions for safe and effective movement of goods and services. Road Management, therefore, plays a key role to ensure consistent efficient operation. However, significant resources are required to perform necessary maintenance activities to achieve and maintain high levels of service. Pavement maintenance can typically be very expensive and decisions are needed concerning planning and prioritizing interventions. Data are key towards enabling adequate maintenance planning but in many instances, there is limited available information especially in small or under-resourced urban road authorit…
Futbola sporta kluba informācijas sistēma
2022
Darba mērķis ir dot iespēju futbola kluba līdzjutējiem ērti sekot līdzi savam iecienītākajam klubam, jo visa nepieciešamākā informācija tiks apkopota vienuviet. Lietotāji varēs uzzināt informāciju par spēlēm un ziņām, apskatīt komandas sastāvu un galeriju ar fotogrāfijām, kā arī pasūtīt biļetes uz spēli. Administrators ir atbildīgs par sistēmas saturu.
Electricity load forecasting for Urban area using weather forecast information
2016
The global demand for energy is increasing daily with the expansion of energy infrastructure and the addition of new appliances. Efficient Energy Management System (EMS) is the need of the day. All residential and commercial buildings can achieve better energy efficiency and consumption with the use of EMS. Load forecasting is one of the methods to enable EMS to work efficiently. The accuracy of load forecast depends on many factors. The load forecast model must consider the weather forecast for the region in developing an accurate forecast. This paper develops Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Bagged Regression Trees to generate and predicted load forecast in Urban area using Meteorologi…
Energy Management and Smart Grids
2013
The paper outlines energy management concepts and the smart grid evolution. The necessity of considering energy management as a crucial innovation in load supplying to permit a more powerful penetration of renewable energy usage at the building and city level and to perform energy savings and CO2 emissions reduction is pointed out. The driving factors to enhance the current power distribution are presented, and the benefits concerning smart grids are underlined. In the paper, a specific energy management analysis is reported by considering all the electric value chain, and the demand-side management and distributed on site control actions are described. To verify the benefit of energy manag…
The role of system dynamics to unveil the complexity of academic missions. An integrated approach for entrepreneurial universities’ performance evalu…
2023
The third mission concept implies that universities are expected to perform several diversified activities besides teaching (first mission) and scientific research (second mission). Third mission efforts may include activities such as knowledge dissemination, technological innovation, social innovation, advisory services, or entrepreneurship. Through third mission activities, universities engage in sustainable, inclusive development and/or territorial competitiveness by interacting with a wide range of subjects far beyond their students and reference scientific communities. The third mission’s activities vary a lot according to the specific characteristics of each university, the territory …
Propozycja wdrożenia koncepcji „lean construction” opartej na znormalizowanych systemach zarządzania jakością w organizacjach branży budowlanej= The …
2020
W niniejszym artykule omówiono wyniki badań dotyczące dojrzałości wdrożonych systemów zarządzania jakością w wybranych organizacjach branży budowlanej, pod kątem możliwości wdrożenia koncepcji „lean construction”. Wiele badań wskazuje na potencjalne korzyści, jakie mogą uzyskać organizacje w wyniku zastosowania zasad „lean”, np. obniżenie kosztów, zmniejszenie czasu realizacji budowy, zmniejszenie marnotrawstwa. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie propozycji [głównych zadań] wdrożenia koncepcji „lean”, opartych na znormalizowanych systemach zarządzania jakością, w organizacjach branży budowlanej. W badaniu wykorzystano analizę dokumentacji, wywiady, metodę samooceny zgodnej z ISO…
Development of Network Security Education
2021
Distance education has grown tremendously over the last decade. Internet technologies have enabled a large-scale dispensation of lectures, exercises, and training. Virtual Learning Management Systems (LMSs) offer a number of tools to realize distance education and distance learning. In this work, we present a virtual system architecture for training cyber security professionals with hands-on skills. The architecture is based on a VirtualBox virtualization environment. Guest machines are installed on an instance of VirtualBox. The installed environment offers a safe and isolated workbench for experiments. After installation and configuration of the environment, students perform a number of i…
ProcMiner: Advancing Process Analysis and Management
2007
This paper contributes both to research and practice on process mining. Previous research on process mining has focused on mining patterns from event log files to generate process models. The process mining approach adopted in this paper is focused on producing patterns about process models, not the models themselves. The approach is demonstrated by ProcMiner -an explorative research prototype for management, consolidating, publishing, retrieving, and analyzing process models. Content-based document clustering is applied to process models represented as XML database in order to find topical groups from models. In practice, organizations face numerous challenges in managing their process mod…
