The research aims to provide further insight into the modern work environment that emerged in the 1990s, the activity-based workplace (ABW), which has become one of the most famous work environments in the world. The ABW has led to significant changes in employees’ working methods and provided companies with various benefits. The ABW does not provide employees with their permanent establishment, but employees can choose an establishment based on the work. Implementing an ABW should improve collaboration, job satisfaction, productivity, and flexibility. However, for employees to work in an ABW, their working methods must be changed to so-called new ways of working (newWOW). Even though there has been some research into how office design affects productivity, more detailed data are needed. To address this issue, this study examines how ABW concepts could be used more effectively. In regard to the study design, methodology, and approach, the case study builds on semi-structured interviews and observational studies from two larger Icelandic companies that recently implemented an ABW concept. The results of this study show that there the introduction of an ABW had various benefits. First and foremost, the reason was improved and there was increased communication and co-operation. Second, the results showed streamlining of operating costs. Third, after the implementation of an ABW, the modern requirements for the working environment were met. Finally, for employees, the ABW resulted in a more desirable workplace. The results also show that the human factor is the most challenging component of the process of implementing an ABW, and it is essential to promote the unimpeded flow of information and the active participation of managers, staff and others involved in the ABW. This study could assist modern companies in domestic and foreign markets. Further research on ABWs and newWOW will be fundamental as companies move closer to the work environment that affects all of their staff.
Purpose:\n\nThe main purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of smoking on the student’s efficiency and mentality regarding habit of smoking. \n\nResearch methodology \n\nSmoking in now days a very spread unethical habit among different schools, colleges and universities students. Most of students spending huge amount on this activity. Smoking not cause financial loss but also cause health diseases in which most common are cancer, lungs and heart diseases. Millions of people in world die just because of smoking. Study was taken to distribute questionnaire among students of Government College of Management Sciences, to know the impact of smoking, like and dislike behavior. 70 students sample was selected randomly as study population. \n\nFindings\n\nThe findings revealed that most of the students not like smoking, other considered as fashion and while some answered it increase efficiency level. \n\nConclusion\n\nRecommendation and conclusion is the last part of the paper.
This study was carried out to determine the organic acid content of selected white (Morus alba L.) and black mulberry (Morus nigra L) genotypes grown in Aras Valley (Iğdır province) of Turkey between 2011 and 2013. Detection of organic acids was used High Performance Liquid Chromotography (HPLC) system. The organic acid concentrations of white and black mulberry fruit were determined as 1.805-8.855 mg g-1 for citric acid , 0.145-0.115 mg g-1 for tartaric acid, 9.095-5.215 mg g-1 for malic acid, 2.836-0.755 mg g-1 for succinic acid, 0.662-0.329 mg g-1 for lactic acid, 0.213-0.015 mg g-1 for fumaric acid and 0.053-0.054 mg g-1 for acetic acid, respectively. It was also found that the predominant organic acid in white and black mulberry were malic and citric acid, respectively. Genotype8 (G8) for white mulberry specie and Genotype3 (G3) for black mulberry specie had more organic acid concentration than other genotypes. The present study showed that year factor affected significantly the organic acid content of mulberry fruit.
There are various methods developed for the performance evaluation. Most of the measurement models employ scoring methods. However, the factory owners and even the top executives are interested in evaluating their performance by more tangible measures such as financial achievements. Scoring measures might be appropriate and applicable measures for the experts but they might not be perceived by the owners of the factories. \nValue added is the most important index by which the real performance of the organization is represented. The present study developed a unique model for calculating value added based on the characteristics and specifications of the project-based service organizations.\nThe effectiveness of each department in creating value added by the organization is essential, because different departments have various impacts on organization\'s performance. In doing so, Balanced Scorecard and brainstorm methods are used to determine the role of each department in creating value added.
The present research study aim is to show how to start and write a good proposal based on the non-especial format, but acceptable for all Universities which, is very similarity in more than ninety percentages of whole details. The bulk of presentation of this paper will be about the three chapters of master and doctoral project that is included Introduction, Literature Review and Methodology with all details and different parts of them and the bibliography. It will present you with exemplifies effectively and clearly.
The analysis of the mixture models under Bayesian framework has received sizable attention of the analysis in the recent years. This paper proposes a Bayesian estimation procedure for analyzing lifetime data under doubly censored sampling when the failure times belong to a two-component mixture of the weibull model. An extended version of the likelihood function for doubly censored samples for the analysis of mixture of lifetime models has been introduced. The posterior estimation has been considered under the assumption of gamma prior using a couple of loss functions. The performance of the different estimators has been investigated and compared through the analysis of simulated data. A real life example has been included for practical applicability of the results.
The low-temperature energy contributions of a binary system are studied. The studies are done in both Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) and Thomas-Fermi (TF) approximations. The Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) analysis for system showed that for positive and negative scattering lengths, the system exhibits positive and negative energies respectively. However, in both cases there is stability of the system away from the centre of the condensate. It was found that the GP energy is the major contributor to the total energy of the system due to the mean-field interactions. The system showed a critical condensate radius of about 6 oscillator units at which the system spontaneously moves from the negative attractions to the positive attractions regime where there is more stability against collapse. In the TF approximation, the kinetic energy is not affected by the interaction between the two types of particles. Just as in the GP case, there is also the stability of the system away from the centre of the condensate.
