Reasoning of using causation and effectuation logic : implications on start-up performance and internationalization
2018
New start-up companies are the basis for expansive companies. Expansive companies are extremely important for employment and for business growth. For this reason, it is important to know the processes how start-up companies are built up. In this research, the relations between prior entrepreneurial experience, prior international experience, effectuation and causation, financial performance and degree of internationalization were studied among the Finnish knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) start-up companies. The research utilized mixed methods and comprised of two parts, qualitative and quantitative parts. The former part included setting the research propositions based on the li…
Modelo de competencia docente del profesor de medicina en la UNAM
2011
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave en español e inglés Disponible la versión en inglés Se presenta un modelo de competencia docente del profesor de medicina. Fue generado a partir de un modelo conceptual preexistente: dicho modelo se sometió al juicio de expertos quienes seleccionaron las competencias de mayor impacto, construyéndose un perfil de competencias. Se generó un instrumento basado en la opinión de los estudiantes y otro de autoevaluación, siendo ambos validados por 18 expertos en evaluación y aplicándose a 2281 estudiantes y 107 profesores. Asimismo, se obtuvo un comportamiento psicométrico adecuado que permitió establecer un modelo acorde a l…
Fuzzy logic-decision-making system dedicated to evaluation of logistics project effectiveness
2016
Background: Project effectiveness is synonymous with project success. It is measured or assessed in terms of the degree to which project objectives are achieved. This paper presents an approach to evaluating the effectiveness of logistics projects. The starting point is the analysis of the current state of knowledge in the area of assessing project effectiveness, including logistics projects. The purpose of the study was to identify the critical factors determining the success of logistics projects and develop a model of logistics project effectiveness. Methods: The paper is based on the available recent scientific-theoretical research and publications and on practical studies in 25 enterpr…

Proton Direct Ionization in Sub-Micron Technologies : Test Methodologies and Modelling
2023
Two different low energy proton (LEP) test methods, one with quasi-monoenergetic and the other with very wide proton beam energy spectra, have been studied. The two test methodologies have been applied to devices that were suggested from prior heavy-ion tests to be sensitive to proton direct ionization (PDI). The advantages and disadvantages of the two test methods are discussed. The test method using quasi-monoenergetic beams requires device preparation and high energy resolution beams, but delivers results that can be interpreted directly and can be used in various soft error rate (SER) calculation methods. The other method, using a heavily degraded high energy proton beam, requires littl…
Validation of a Work Engagement Scale. Profi les associated with high Performance and Job Satisfaction
2017
El objetivo principal de este estudio consistía en la validación de una escala para la evaluación del work engagement -compromiso con el trabajo-, considerado como una presencia psicológica en el rol que incluye atención, absorción y energía dirigida a tareas laborales. Mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio, estimación de la consistencia interna y evidencias de validez convergente y discriminante, se confirma que la Escala Argentina de Compromiso con el Trabajo es una prueba válida y confiable para su uso en población argentina. Además, se buscó analizar si existen diferencias en los niveles de work engagement de acuerdo con variables individuales y organizacionales. Se observaron mayor…
Learning from Implicit Learning Literature: Comment on Shea, Wulf, Whitacre, and Park (2001)
2003
International audience; In their analysis of complex motor skill learning, Shea, Wulf, Whitacre, and Park (2001) have overlooked one of the most robust conclusions of the experimental studies on implicit learning conducted during the last decade--namely that participants usually learn things that are different from those that the experimenter expected them to learn. We show that the available literature on implicit learning strongly suggests that the improved performance in Shea et al.'s Experiments 1 and 2 (and similar earlier experiments, e.g., Wulf & Schmidt, 1997) was due to the exploitation of regularities in the target pattern different from those on which the postexperimental intervi…
SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS: SHAPING A COHERENT SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING AND MEASURING THE CONCEPT
2014
The paper addresses a topical issue at the international level due to the present pressure exerted by an increased public debt on most national budgets, but especially in Romania where there is also a large gap between the scientific literature regarding the concept of public organizations’ performance and international literature. The gap is not only in the literature, but also in practices. Performance measurement may generate benefits for public organization and for society as a whole; it may help to improve public management, only if an internal system geared towards achieving sustainable performance was implemented. Otherwise, if public policymakers will continue targeting only the mea…
Estudo sobre a implantação do orçamento baseado em desempenho na Autoridade Portuária de Valência
2013
O crescimento e o desenvolvimento da economia mundial têm dependido cada vez mais do transporte marítimo, e os portos são um elo importante nesse processo. O presente estudo tem como objetivo explorar a aplicação do orçamento baseado em desempenho no sistema de portos da Espanha. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo sobre o modelo orçamentário do Sistema Portuário de Titularidade Estatal e um estudo de caso na Autoridade Portuária de Valência. Os resultados mostram que as mudanças no orçamento geraram maior integração entre as medidas de desempenho e as dotações orçamentárias, as quais são feitas com detalhamento do processo no nível operacional, o que inclui os projetos de investimento. Em …
Restoration of High Frequency Auditory Perception After Robot-Assisted or Manual Cochlear Implantation in Profoundly Deaf Adults Improves Speech Reco…
2021
Background and Purpose: Robot-assisted cochlear implantation has recently been implemented in clinical practice; however, its effect on hearing outcomes is unknown. The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate hearing performance 1 year post-implantation whether the electrode array was inserted manually or assisted by a robot.Methods: Forty-two profoundly deaf adults were implanted either manually (n = 21) or assisted by a robot (RobOtol®, Collin, Bagneux, France) with three different electrode array types. Participants were paired by age, and electrode array type. The scalar position of the electrode array in the cochlea was assessed by 3D reconstruction from the pre- and post-implant…
