Knowledge Management Model for VTT Electronics   Summary This report presents the results of research into knowledge management (KM) performed at VTT Electronics, the Technical Research Centre of Finland. Based on literature analysis and prior experiences with software process improvement (SPI) projects, a process model is proposed as an abstract and generic model to be used in KM projects. Its purpose is to enable one to understand knowledge management, perform analyses and plan processes in a structured way, as well as ensure that important aspects are taken into account in KM projects. A distinction into two separate parts of the model is used, which divide the processes into co-ordination processes and operational processes. Herein, coordination processes describe what needs to be performed to initiate and control knowledge management activities; operational processes describe what is done when performing knowledge management activities. The co-ordination processes are organized into a cycle of analysis, planning, defining and effecting to support continuous improvement. The operational processes consist of the main processes: identification of need for knowledge, knowledge sharing, knowledge creation, knowledge collection and storage, and…

Kilauea volcano Eruptions in Hawaii        Kilauea volcano eruption suddenly starts on April 30 in Hawaii. It produced lava, which destroyed almost 700 homes. It is the most destructive volcano eruption recorded in history because it contains a combination of volcanic, which seldom has impacts of the environment. When this lava flows and reaches the ocean, it reacts with seawater to form a collusive mist, which brings more fear of eruption explosive. As the draining magma interacts with groundwater, in addition, it can also cause a fine volcanic particle, which probably opens a new pathway of the eruption of magma, creating the geometry of the lower east of the rift zone. According to the Hawaiian volcano observatory, lava continues to erupt at a moderate level. They also observed that the high level of gas produced by volcano and trade wind might bring this gas to other parts of the islands. The Emmerson of Sulphur dioxide from the volcano’s summit has dropped the level of current eruptive activities. This explosion is accompanied by gas, and burnt ash flows downwards. The loose…

post on content delivery networks Hello Kavitha In the post on content delivery networks have clearly been described the meaning and importance of using a CDN in displaying a company’s webpages. The importance of CDNs has significantly participated in the need for fast internet connection and reduced loading time. CDNs enabled organizations websites visited by more views since all they need is loaded in a matter of short time. In this reply, I will handle the importance of choosing the best CDN for an organization and how to identify a provider who will serve in the next-generation content delivery networks (Fajardo, Taboada & Liberal, 2015). The main factors to consider when choosing content delivery networks are the presence of highly distributed architecture. CDNs enables fast loading of websites in whichever the geographical location they access.  There is a need for sophisticated security capability is a significant factor to be put into consideration in today’s world when cyber-attacks are daily occurrences, the organization needs to support for agile businesses, this enables organizations and companies to grow and develop ahead of other…

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FACTORS ON PROJECT-BASED ORGANIZATION:A CAUSAL STUDY IN INDONESIA     Abstract   Companies need to be formed by organizations with superior human resources to implement tasks and responsibilities effectively. In project-based organizations, employees are expected to control costs, quality, and time according to the development of the project. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between variables that affect employee performance in a project-based organization, including organizational culture, knowledge management, and teamwork. Data were collected from 150 respondents at various levels in a project-based organization in Indonesia. The analysis using Structural Equation Modeling showed that there is a significant influence of these variables on employee performance, except between knowledge management and teamwork. Keywords: Project-based Organization, Organizational Culture, Teamwork / Team Cooperation, Knowledge Management, Employee Performance   INTRODUCTION Employee performance determines the success and failure of a company. According to Al-Musadieq et al. (2018), performance is the result of the work of employees cooperating, setting goals, evaluating results, and giving rewards. In project-based organizations, it is assessed at each stage according to project development. These organizations…

Three Strikes Law The three-strikes law was implemented in the United States in 1994. It was made to punish those who are known to commit habitual crimes in the United States. It states that  If one is convicted for violent crimes or felonies, they are supposed to be sentenced to life imprisonment if they are caught the third time. The main aim of the law is to protect the community from the habitual people who commit crimes continually. Many states have accepted the law, such as in Kansas. The people who are found to have committed the two crimes are referred to as persistent offenders. This paper is a discussion of the three-strikes law in relation to the Habert Packer’s Crime Control Model and the due process model. It also discusses the packages that the police take to help the people who have an addiction to drugs and other social evils such as gambling. Habert Packer came up with ideas about how the law should be implemented in the United States. In his argument, two significant ideas were expressed. The…

Summary-Response From the work of Keynes, he argues that if the economy investments are more than the savings, the economy will experience inflation. On the other hand, if savings exceed investments, it will lead to a recession. The author believed that increased spending would reduce unemployment and help the economy recover. The author explores the economy and the significant challenges facing the economy. He claims that the prosperity of a nation can be measured through the earnings of individuals. For example, he narrates that when individuals enjoy high incomes, the country is in a better position, and when the total income goes down, then the nation is at a depression. The primary feature of an economy is the flow of income from one hand to the other (Heilbroner 266). The primary cause of unemployment is the lack of expenditure within an economy, leading to a decrease in aggregate demand. Additionally, the economies are enhanced when there is a substantial amount of output, which is driven by sufficient amounts of economic expenditure. Decreased spending leads to an increase in unemployment. In…

 Assessment Tools And Diagnostic Tests In Children And Adults  Diagnostic tests are the procedure used for collecting clinical information that is useful in clinical decision making (Kanchanaraksa & Hopkins, 2008). They are used to determine whether a disease is present or not when a subject shows symptoms or signs of illness. It is carried out after a positive screening test to develop a definitive diagnosis. Both reliability and validity are essential for measuring the performance of the test. Validity refers to whereby a test can distinguish between individuals who have a disease and those who do not have. Moreover, the data measure effectively measures what it was intended to, for example, accuracy. Reliability, on the other hand, refers to whereby a test is repeated severally and provides similar results. Reliability depends on the variability in the method of measurement and manifestation of the basis of the test. And also the skill in which the measurement was made. An example of the reliability measure is the degree of repeated measurements, which is characterized as a standard deviation or variance. Assessment tools…

A Comparison Of The Legal System JuriGlobe World Legal Systems is a free resource containing different quick reference tools, which include Civil law systems, Common law systems, Islamic law systems, customary law systems, and Mixed legal systems.

The customary legal systems are grounded on the customs of a given community. The significant features of the customary law include traditions that govern social relations; they may be unwritten and mainly accepted by the community members. The religious laws, on the other hand, are based on religious beliefs or texts. Islamic religious law is the most common, and it governs both private and public life. Finally, the mixed legal system refers to a…
