Determinants In Sustaining A Local Information System In The Philippines: The Case Of The Barangay Management Information System (Bmis), Charina P. Maneja, Nancy A. Tandang, Merlyne M. Paunlagui
Journal of Public Affairs and Development
Information is important for the executive and legislative functions of local officials. The study determined the institutional and individual factors that contributed in sustaining a Barangay Management Information System (BMIS). The study was done in five provinces covering 90 randomly selected continuing barangays and 68 randomly selected non-continuing barangays. Chi-square Test of Independence was used to determine factors associated with whether the barangay will continue to sustain BMIS or not. Logistic regression analysis was also performed to determine factors that may influence barangay's decision to sustain BMIS. The identified significant individual factors that influenced the barangays' decision to sustain BMIS …
Geometric Programming Subject To System Of Fuzzy Relation Inequalities, Elyas Shivanian, Mahdi Keshtkar, Esmaile Khorram
Geometric Programming Subject To System Of Fuzzy Relation Inequalities, Elyas Shivanian, Mahdi Keshtkar, Esmaile Khorram
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper, an optimization model with geometric objective function is presented. Geometric programming is widely used; many objective functions in optimization problems can be analyzed by geometric programming. We often encounter these in resource allocation and structure optimization and technology management, etc. On the other hand, fuzzy relation equalities and inequalities are also used in many areas. We here present a geometric programming model with a monomial objective function subject to the fuzzy relation inequality constraints with maxproduct composition. Simplification operations have been given to accelerate the resolution of the problem by removing the components having no effect on …
Numerical Solution Of Interval And Fuzzy System Of Linear Equations, Suparna Das, S. Chakraverty
Numerical Solution Of Interval And Fuzzy System Of Linear Equations, Suparna Das, S. Chakraverty
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
A system of linear equations, in general is solved in open literature for crisp unknowns, but in actual case the parameters (coefficients) of the system of linear equations contain uncertainty and are less crisp. The uncertainties may be considered in term of interval or fuzzy number. In this paper, a detail of study of linear simultaneous equations with interval and fuzzy parameter (triangular and trapezoidal) has been performed. New methods have been proposed for solving such systems. First, the methods have been tested for known problems viz. a circuit analysis solved in the literature and the results are found to …
Towards Self-Emancipation In Ict For Development Research: Narratives About Respect, Traditional Leadership And Building Networks Of Friendships In Rural South Africa, Kirstin Krauss
The African Journal of Information Systems
In this paper, the author contends that if the outsider-researcher involved in Information and Communication Technology for Development really wants to make a difference and honestly address the emancipatory interests of the developing community, social transformation will have to occur on both sides of the “development divide.” This statement implies both an understanding of the researcher’s own ethnocentrism, prejudice, assumptions and inabilities as well as local concerns, needs, expectations and realities. Using critical social theory as a position of inquiry and learning from the enculturation phases of critical ethnographic fieldwork in a deep rural part of South Africa, the paper …
