Strategic Themes For Balanced Scorecard Construction Based On Fuzzy Logic, Adolfo Alberto Vanti, Rafael Espin, Alonso Perez-Soltero, Denise Ciotta
Strategic Themes For Balanced Scorecard Construction Based On Fuzzy Logic, Adolfo Alberto Vanti, Rafael Espin, Alonso Perez-Soltero, Denise Ciotta
International Journal of Applied Management and Technology
Balanced Scorecard is a methodology for strategic management with emphasis in strategic, tactic, and operational control. If you don’t measure something, you don’t manage it. Last statement is a way to emphasizes one of the most important assumptions of this methodology that is very well implemented by it. However, BSC can’t express strategy in actions, nor translate verbalization of strategic planning, important topics to build an effective Balance Scorecard. This paper defines priorities of topics about strategic planning considering the SWOT analysis - strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats – (Andrews, 1971). SWOT analysis is completed considering actions and objectives through Fuzzy …

The Ephemeral Form And Objects Of Inspection, Desireé Rose Schanding
The Ephemeral Form And Objects Of Inspection, Desireé Rose Schanding
Theses
The series The Ephemeral Form is my attempt to communicate the ways in which women are similar in order to empower women so that they may overcome their differences creating a way for more open communication. This series of prints explore the notion of femaleness from a personal perspective and aesthetic. The main subject in each piece is the female torso as a static figure or a figure in motion. There is a specimen-like quality to the images as well as direct references to medieval panel paintings. Within each image the torso of the female is transparent revealing the biology …

Linking Experiential Learning To Community Transportation Planning, Robert Parker, Bethany Johnson
TREC Final Reports
This OTREC education proposal will link experiential education with local transportation planning through a collaborative partnership between the University of Oregon and the City of Eugene. Educators have long worked to find pedagogical approaches that yield the best educational results. This is particularly true in the planning disciplines where there is an ongoing dialog among academics and practitioners about how to most effectively train aspiring professionals.1 To provide a mix of academic and practical experience, most planning programs include a mixture of theoretical and applied curriculum. The American Planning Association (APA) recognizes this need and as a result, APA accredited …

Surficial Mapping And Kinematic Modeling Of The St. Clair Thrust Fault, Monroe County, West Virginia, Jason M. Sturms
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Near the Allegheny Structural boundary between the Appalachian Plateau and the Valley and Ridge Province of the West Virginian Appalachians lie four major thrust faults: the Pulaski, Saltville, Narrows, and the St. Clair all of which are associated with the Alleghenian Orogeny. Of these major thrusts, the St. Clair thrust fault represents the boundary of the Allegheny Structural Front and is one of the few major thrust faults that are exposed at the surface in the Appalachians of West Virginia.;The St. Clair thrust fault represents an example of fault-propagation folding. Within fault-propagation folding, trishear deformation and fault-bend folding can be …
Subsurface Stratigraphy And Depositional Patterns Of The Lower Mississippian Weir Zone Of Doddridge County, West Virginia, With Emphasis On Reservoir Potential, John Hamilton Tellers
Subsurface Stratigraphy And Depositional Patterns Of The Lower Mississippian Weir Zone Of Doddridge County, West Virginia, With Emphasis On Reservoir Potential, John Hamilton Tellers
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The Weir zone of Doddridge County, West Virginia, is considered to be an unconventional reservoir due to its low permeability. Analysis of this zone was performed using well log data from 300 wells, a full-bore core of the Weir, and petrographic thin sections. Three lithologies occur within the Weir: coarse siltstone, fine siltstone, and claystone. Bedforms were identified using a combination of FMI, thin section, and core analysis. The Weir is interpreted to have been deposited on an outer shelf under the influence of shoaling internal waves. Log analysis provided data showing the unit to have a mineral composition of …
Evaluation Of The Impacts Of Highway Construction On Sediment And Benthic Macroinvertebrates In Appalachian Streams, Lara B. Hedrick
Evaluation Of The Impacts Of Highway Construction On Sediment And Benthic Macroinvertebrates In Appalachian Streams, Lara B. Hedrick
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Corridor H is a four-lane highway under construction in north eastern West Virginia. I used a variety of methods to assess the impacts of highway construction in the Lost River watershed, Hardy County, West Virginia. I designed a two part sediment sampler to be used to monitor sediment in paired sites upstream and downstream of highway construction. The two-part design, a base that remains embedded in the substrate, and a removeable trap, allowed for long-term placement of samplers without continual disturbance of the streambed. I used a laboratory flume to compare my sediment sampler design with other devices used to …
Private And Public University Students' Perceptions Of Cultural Adjustment Problems In Study Abroad Programs, Walter R. Heinecke Edd
Private And Public University Students' Perceptions Of Cultural Adjustment Problems In Study Abroad Programs, Walter R. Heinecke Edd
Dissertations
In a world that is increasingly integrated by economics, communications, and politics, higher education is asked to deliver graduates who can function professionally in the international arena. One way to do this is through study abroad programs, which have skyrocketed in popularity among American students over the last 15 years, increasing by 83% to more than 205,000 students in 2007. Despite the obvious benefits associated with such programs, there are challenges to living abroad as well—especially for young adults. To get some sense of these challenges, during the 2005-2006 academic year 114 study abroad students from 2 Southern California universities …
E-Coaching In Organizations: A Study Of Features, Practices, And Determinants Of Use, Rebecca Vaughan Frazee Edd
E-Coaching In Organizations: A Study Of Features, Practices, And Determinants Of Use, Rebecca Vaughan Frazee Edd
Dissertations
Employee development in organizations is moving away from classroom instruction to more individualized, flexible forms of just-in-time learning and support, such as e-coaching. E-coaching, conducted partially or entirely at a distance, offers convenience, cost-savings, efficiency, and improved access to people and resources. However, research on e-coaching for work-related purposes is limited. This descriptive and exploratory study used mixed methods to examine e-coaching extent, technologies and practices, and factors that influence deployment and success in organizations. A web-based survey gathered opinions from over two hundred workforce learning and performance professionals. Semi-structured interviews gathered critical incidents from twenty e-coaches. The researcher used …

Metoikos: Modernism's Resident Aliens, Justin Glen Williamson
Metoikos: Modernism's Resident Aliens, Justin Glen Williamson
Dissertations
This dissertation examines why D.H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and James Joyce all conceived of themselves as cultural outsiders and how they used this ostensibly marginal social status to conceal a set of conservative core values they sensed were eroding. This otherwise disparate group shared a sense of cultural alienation, recognized the potentially powerful position of the exile, and demonstrated a keen willingness to exploit its possibilities. Although these writers have long been acknowledged and heralded for their experimentation, their technical and formal innovation, much of their work springs from essentially conservative impulses, beliefs, and values, aimed …

Agricultural Transformation And Livelihood Struggles In South Africa's Western Cape, Michaela B. Palchick
Agricultural Transformation And Livelihood Struggles In South Africa's Western Cape, Michaela B. Palchick
Geography Honors Projects
Agricultural Transformation and Livelihood Struggles in South Africa’s Western Cape South Africa’s post-Apartheid land reform programs redistribute previously white-owned farmland to a small percentage of blacks, and provide these new farmers with agricultural extension services that promote large-scale agriculture. Due to the national legacy of racial oppression and an international pressure for neoliberal development policies, there is scant infrastructural support for small-scale agriculture. Despite the government’s vision, most black farmers produce for local consumption because competing internationally is unfavorable, especially since the removal of agricultural subsidies in 1994. The shortcomings of the agricultural transformation program are apparent in the village …
How Distributed School Leadership Practices Are Implemented In A Rural Northeast Georgia Elementary School, Barbara Anne Setchel
How Distributed School Leadership Practices Are Implemented In A Rural Northeast Georgia Elementary School, Barbara Anne Setchel
College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations
Recent leadership literature calls for distributed leadership where the principal is not the sole leader in the building. Despite already being overloaded with classroom and other responsibilities, teachers are taking on leadership roles and school leadership is becoming distributed among many individuals. This study was an examination to discover how leadership becomes distributed in one rural Northeast Georgia elementary school recognized for its collaborative efforts to improve teaching and learning. A case study was conducted, and leadership practices were observed. Four questions guided this study: How is leadership distributed? What operational practices are in place so leadership can be extended …

Development Of A Novel Fouling Deterrence Strategy By Understanding The Efect Of Noradrenaline On The Cells Of Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea Virginica And Cypris Larve Of The Striped Barnacle Balanus Amphitrite, Neeraj Gohad
All Dissertations
ABSTRACT
The focus of this study was to understand and evaluate the effect of noradrenaline (NA) on two prominent fouling marine invertebrates, the Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea virginica and the Striped Barnacle, Balanus amphitrite for the purpose of developing a novel fouling deterrence strategy.
To understand the effect of NA at a cellular level the immune cells (hemocytes) of C. virginica were chosen as representative molluscan cells. Upon stimulation with 10 micro-molar of noradrenaline ~4% hemocytes of C. virginica labeled positive for the beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR). Upon NA stimulation the beta-AR positive cells formed cell-cell synapses and apoptosis was detected in …
Disturbances, Prescribed Fire, And Invasion By Exotic Plants In A Xeric Mixed-Oak And Oak-Pine Dominated Area Of The Ridge And Valley In Eastern West Virginia, Jonathan A. Pomp
Disturbances, Prescribed Fire, And Invasion By Exotic Plants In A Xeric Mixed-Oak And Oak-Pine Dominated Area Of The Ridge And Valley In Eastern West Virginia, Jonathan A. Pomp
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This document discusses three fire and exotic invasive plant related research studies that were conducted in an area of the Ridge and Valley dominated by xeric mixed-oak and oak-pine forest communities. The first study characterizes the timing, frequency, and magnitude of canopy disturbances in the study area by investigating demographic (age distributions), anatomical (growth increment patterns), and structural (diameter distributions) evidence. In addition to the general reconstructed disturbance history, the potential link between overstory tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima (P. Mill.) Swingle) populations and prior forest management disturbances (i.e. harvesting) is investigated. This study indicates an uneven-aged structure resulting from multiple disturbances …
