From Organization Business Model to Information System: One Approach and Lessons Learned
2011
The system ISTechnology and lessons learned of its use in the business modeling and development of information systems are analyzed in the paper. The system consists of the meta-model and applications. The meta-model enables to define a platform independent business model of the organization. The applications provide the definition and interpretation of the business model. Interpretation of the business model provides functionality of the information system in the selected platform. The lessons learned confirm that the development and maintenance cost of information systems can be significantly reduced by use of the ISTechnology.
ERP and Organizational Misfits: An ERP Customization Journey
2016
Abstract Enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects are complex and resource demanding. Some ERP projects fail due to what is called ‘misfit’ between the adopting organization's business requirements and the ERP's functionalities. Existing literature has studied how ERP systems match to different organizations and have argued that there always exists a gap between the business rules embedded in the system, and the practices and processes that exist in organizations. Thus, tailoring might be an important procedure during ERP implementations, in which the ERP customization takes place in order to ensure the compliance with the organizations’ critical business processes and requirements. Via …
Mortality of pike-perch (Stizostedion lucioperca), brown trout (Salmo trutta) and landlocked salmon (Salmo salar m. sebago) caught as by-catch in pel…
2000
Altogether 146 pike-perch, 49 brown trout and 19 landlocked salmon were caught in 23 exploratory trawl-hauls in lake Pyhaselka, Finland. Brown trout and salmon were caught only in surface trawling, whereas pike-perch were taken also in mid-water trawling. Most of the fish were smaller than the minimal legal size of 40 cm. To estimate their post-trawling mortality, 129 fish were kept in net cages for 1 week. Less than 15% of the pike-perch and brown trout caught by surface trawl died during 1 week caging, whereas every caged salmon died. Mid-water trawling was far more lethal to pike-perch than surface trawling. We conclude that pike-perch and brown trout can recover from surface trawling. S…
Incidental catch of marine turtles by Spanish bottom trawlers in the western Mediterranean
2014
A questionnaire-based survey of fishermen was conducted in the Valencia region (eastern Spain) to assess the levels of marine turtle bycatch. Interviews covered 41.3% of the bottom trawling fleet in the region and included 111 fishermen (one per boat). Results were combined with those from previous studies conducted in neighbouring regions using the same methodology to assess the global impact of bottom trawling on the western Mediterranean stock of the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta). Estimated turtle catch per unit effort (CPUE) is 0.09 turtles per vessel per month, according to the information reported by fishermen. As a consequence, the whole fleet of bottom trawlers operating off t…
Preserved knowledge maps of countries: Implications for the organisation of semantic memory
2004
We describe two patients with selectively preserved knowledge of the category of countries. Following a series of cerebra infarcts, patient DB presented with severe perceptual impairment, including dense apperceptive agnosia, prosopagnosia, an topographical agnosia. Despite these deficits, he could effortlessly name countries from their outline maps. Patient WH, who suffered from semantic dementia, had severe naming and comprehension difficulties, with extremely sparse residual semantic knowledge. Remarkably, the category of countries was preserved. First, we argue that, for both patients, this category preservation occurs at a semantic level. Second, we discuss our findings in the context …
Searching for the right timing of surgical delay: angiogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor and perfusion changes in a skin-flap model.
2009
Summary Background The angiogenic potential of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its oxygen pressure-dependent regulation suggest a strong connection between this growth factor and the ‘delay phenomenon'. In this study we focused on the chronological changes in VEGF concentration and flap perfusion in order to optimise the duration of surgical delay. Methods The VEGF concentration in skin and underlying muscle was measured in oversized, random-pattern flaps on 38 male Sprague-Dawley rats after 3, 5 or 7 days of surgical delay. Additionally, flaps were raised 5 or 7 days past preconditioning. The effect on flap perfusion was measured using indocyanine green fluoroscopy and the si…
Gaining or losing PhDs: What are the effects on firms' linkages with universities?
2023
PhD graduates can help companies transfer knowledge from universities to firms. Scholars have analysed the determinants of PhD recruitment by firms and its effects on their innovation activities. However, little is known about what happens when a firm loses employees with PhDs. The aim of this paper is to compare the effects on the relationships of firms with universities when these firms lose PhDs versus when they hire PhDs to work in R&D. These effects may be symmetrical or non-symmetrical depending on the abilities of firms to retain the connections and knowledge acquired by hiring PhDs. We consider four types of relationships: collaboration with universities, universities as a source of…
Vēstures un angļu valodas integrēta apguve 9.klasē
2019
Globalizācija ir daļa no mūsu dzīves mūsdienas un tās nozīme tikai palielinās. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve ir plaši atzīta ne tikai Eiropā, bet arī visa pasaulē jau no 1990-tajiem gadiem. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve ir ļoti populāra, jo skolēniem arvien vairāk nepieciešama angļu valoda, lai turpinātu savas studijas. Viņiem niepieciešamas angļu valodas zināšanas akadēmiskā akademiskā līmeni, lai sekmīgi turpinātu studijas un saprast dažādus jēdzienus, ko lieto viņu izvēlētajā priekšmetā. Jēdzienus neapgūst angļu valodas stundās. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve nozīmē aktīvu starppriekšmetu saikni. Skolēni mācās angļu valodu ne tikai angļu valodas stundās, bet viņi izmanto an…
