▼ A critical question faced by industrial leaders is “which aspects of our value chain should we perform internal to our organization and which aspects should we source externally?” This demarcation of firm boundaries has been increasingly studied from the perspective of outsourcing. Outsourcing can be defined as the complete transfer of a business process that has been traditionally operated and managed internally to an independently owned external service provider. Outsourcing can further be conceptualized as a process which begins with developing a strategic and financial business case for outsourcing, followed by implementing the external sourcing model, and ultimately managing the relationship with the provider(s). Despite the surging popularity of outsourcing in practice, evidence from multiple sources suggests that a surprising percentage of outsourcing efforts fail to realize performance expectations. Given these observations, the research objective was to identify the salient management practices throughout the outsourcing process that drive performance. The research objective was empirically addressed using a cross-sectional survey to collect detailed data on 198 outsourcing initiatives representing a diverse set of outsourcing experiences. Factor analysis was used to establish the validity and reliability of the measurement model, which includes five constructs representing aspects of the outsourcing process. Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate the hypothesized relationships among these latent constructs and outsourcing performance. The analysis clearly identifies the management practices that are germane to realizing outsourcing performance objectives. The structural model was able to explain 36% of the variance in composite performance. Outsourcing firms that conduct an extensive strategic evaluation of the outsourcing opportunity and are committed to establishing a cooperative relationship with the service provider(s) are significantly more likely to realize the full benefits of their outsourcing efforts. Implementation practices, including employee involvement and contracting, are not sufficient to distinguish between well performing and poor performing outsourcing initiatives. The research findings also suggest that the relationship between strategic evaluation and performance is mediated by relationship management practices. These insights offer valuable guidance to outsourcing practitioners in terms of how sourcing resources should be applied in order to maximize the benefits realized from their outsourcing initiatives.

▼ Empirical risk minimization (ERM) problems express optimal classifiers as solutions of optimization problems in which the objective is the sum of a very large number of sample costs. An evident obstacle in using traditional descent algorithms for solving this class of problems is their prohibitive computational complexity when the number of component functions in the ERM problem is large. The main goal of this thesis is to study different approaches to solve these large-scale ERM problems. We begin by focusing on incremental and stochastic methods which split the training samples into smaller sets across time to lower the computation burden of traditional descent algorithms. We develop and analyze convergent stochastic variants of quasi-Newton methods which do not require computation of the objective Hessian and approximate the curvature using only gradient information. We show that the curvature approximation in stochastic quasi-Newton methods leads to faster convergence relative to first-order stochastic methods when the problem is ill-conditioned. We culminate with the introduction of an incremental method that exploits memory to achieve a superlinear convergence rate. This is the best known convergence rate for an incremental method. An alternative strategy for lowering the prohibitive cost of solving large-scale ERM problems is decentralized optimization whereby samples are separated not across time but across multiple nodes of a network. In this regime, the main contribution of this thesis is in incorporating second-order information of the aggregate risk corresponding to samples of all nodes in the network in a way that can be implemented in a distributed fashion. We also explore the separation of samples across both, time and space, to reduce the computational and communication cost for solving large-scale ERM problems. We study this path by introducing a decentralized stochastic method which incorporates the idea of stochastic averaging gradient leading to a low computational complexity method with a fast linear convergence rate. We then introduce a rethinking of ERM in which we consider not a partition of the training set as in the case of stochastic and distributed optimization, but a nested collection of subsets that we grow geometrically. The key insight is that the optimal argument associated with a training subset of a certain size is not that far from the optimal argument associated with a larger training subset. Based on this insight, we present adaptive sample size schemes which start with a small number of samples and solve the corresponding ERM problem to its statistical accuracy. The sample size is then grown geometrically and use the solution of the previous ERM as a warm start for the new ERM. Theoretical analyses show that the use of adaptive sample size methods reduces the overall computational cost of achieving the statistical accuracy of the whole dataset for a broad range of deterministic and stochastic first-order methods. We further show that if we couple the adaptive sample size scheme…

▼ Nanometer-scale silicon shows extraordinary electronic and optical properties that are not available for bulk silicon, and many investigations toward applications in optoelectronic devices are being pursued. Silicon nanoparticle films made from solution are a promising candidate for low-cost solar cells. However, controlling the properties of silicon nanoparticles is quite a challenge, in particular shape and size distribution, which effect device performance. At present, none of the solar cells made from silicon nanoparticle films have an efficiency exceeding the efficiency of those based on crystalline silicon. To address the challenge of controlling silicon nanoparticle properties, both theoretical and experimental investigations are needed. In this thesis, we investigate silicon nanoparticle properties via quantum mechanical modeling of silicon nanoparticles and synthesis of silicon nanoparticle films via colloidal grinding. Silicon nanoparticles with shapes including cubic, rectangular, ellipsoidal and flat disk are modeled using semi-empirical methods and configuration interaction. Their electronic properties with different surface passivation were also studied. The results showed that silicon nanoparticles with hydrogen passivation have higher HOMOLUMO gaps, and also the HOMO-LUMO gap depends on the size and the shape of the particle. In contrast, silicon nanoparticles with oxygen passivation have a lower HOMO-LUMO gap. Raman spectroscopy calculation of silicon nanoparticles show peak shift and asymmetric broadening similar to what has been observed in experiment. Silicon nanoparticle synthesis via colloidal grinding was demonstrated as a straightforward and inexpensive approach for thin film solar cells. Data analysis of silicon particles via SEM images demonstrated that colloidal grinding is effective in reducing the Si particle size to sub-micron in a short grinding time. Further increases in grinding time, followed by filtration demonstrated a narrowing of the Si particle size and size-distribution to an average size of 70 nm. Raman spectroscopy and EDS data demonstrated that the Si nanoparticles contain oxygen due to exposure to air during grinding. I-V characterization of the milled Si nanoparticles showed an ohmic behaviour with low current at low biases then Schottky diode behaviour or a symmetric curve at large biases.

▼ As software systems grow in size and complexity, their development and maintenance are becoming increasingly challenging. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) has been proposed as a means to increase the developer's productivity of such large-scale complex software systems. Despite its benefits, MDE has not been fully adopted in the software industry due to several barriers. Research has shown that modelling tools are amongst the top barriers for the industry's reluctance to adopt MDE, mostly because there is a little investigation of the modellers' interactions with modelling tools when editing and debugging models, which are cognitively difficult tasks. More specifically, MDE tool research has not considered 1) a thorough analysis of modellers and their tasks, to understand their challenges of using modelling tools, 2) the underlying human-cognitive factors, and 3) a systematic assessment of the effectiveness of proposed solutions (i.e., tooling techniques) on human users. This thesis argues that MDE tools can be enhanced to overcome (some of) the challenges of adoption by considering human-cognitive factors (i.e., user-centric) when designing and proposing model-easing techniques for model editors. We advance our thesis in three main steps. As a first step, we conducted an empirical study to identify the most-severe cognitive difficulties of modellers when using UML model editors. In our study, we asked the recruited subjects to perform several model-editing and model-debugging tasks. We collected information during the sessions that could help us understand the subjects' cognitive challenges. The results show that users face multiple challenges, amongst which the most prominent challenges are remembering contextual information when performing a particular modelling task; and locating, understanding, and fixing errors in the models. In the second step, we identified the cognitive factors that drive the most prominent challenges and subsequently devised several tooling advancements that provide enhanced cognitive support and automation in the users' interaction with a model editor. The philosophy behind our tooling advancements is to provide the contextual information that are relevant to performing a particular modelling task, thereby, alleviating the modellers' cognitive challenges of recollecting information from different diagrams. We also proposed an on-the-fly error-resolution technique that aims at resolving errors as they occur. We implemented our Eclipse-based model-editor and embedded our tooling techniques in the tool. Lastly, we conducted two empirical studies to assess the effectiveness of our model-editor on human users. The Context study aimed at evaluating our tool's ability to reduce the challenges of remembering contextual information, whereas the Debugging study aimed at assessing our tool's ability to improve the users' experience of debugging models. Our results reveal that our interfaces help users 1) improve their ability to successfully fulfil their tasks, 2) avoid unnecessary context…

▼ The main goal of this study was to determine the scope and limitations of some state-of-the-art methods in computational chemistry, including both molecular mechanics and semi-empirical and ab initio quantum mechanics, in the prediction of key properties of selected colorants and their intermediates. Specifically, prediction of equilibrium molecular geometry, wavelength of maximum absorption, mutagenicity via quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR), photostability, and the photodegradation mechanism of some nonmutagenic organic pigments prepared from nonmutagenic benzidine analogs was studied. It is known that molecular geometry influences significantly electronic and thermodynamic properties of all compounds. Hence, the accurate prediction of geometries was assessed by the development of protocols using semi-empirical and ab initio methods, for use in comparisons with X-ray crystallographic data. In this regard, single crystals of ten compounds were grown and the associated X-ray structures solved. The effectiveness of each model and protocol was tested by comparison of predicted bond angles, bond lengths, intramolecular hydrogen bond distances, and torsion angles to X-ray data. Electronic properties such as wavelength of maximum absorption were calculated using PPP, ab initio and ZINDO and compared with experimental max data. In the case of semi-empirical calculations, different methods (AM1, PM3, CNDO, INDO, ZINDO, PPP) were employed. With regard to geometry optimization a combination of manual adjustments followed by MM2/PM3 calculations was superior to MM2/AM1 in the prediction of the equilibrium geometry of compounds 149-152. In addition, better results were obtained using PM3 versus AM1 when an optimized energy map was employed for these compounds. While PM3 was effective in predicting the equilibrium geometry of compounds 149-152, AM1 was superior to PM3 in predicting the equilibrium geometry of pigments 153-155. As to the prediction of electronic excitation energy, ZINDO was effective in predicting the wavelength of maximum absorption of pigments 153-155 and the equilibrium geometry and spin state of compounds 174a-b. In the case of ab initio calculations, local and non-local DFT methods were used to predict the equilibrium geometry of compounds 149-152, pigments 153-155 and C.I. Pigment Yellow 12. It was found that the resultant geometries were generally more accurate than those calculated using semi-empirical methods, presumably due to a superior wave function. Ab initio calculations, however, were not effective in identifying the spin state of compounds 174a-b. This suggests that spin calculations involving charged molecules are not yet feasible using ab initio. However, by comparing experimental magnetic susceptibility data for Fe3+-complexed dyes 174a-b with the calculated spin from ZINDO (INDO2/ROHF), it became clear that this is an appropriate method for calculating the spin state of metal complex dyes. In this regard, magnetic susceptibility measurements involving… Advisors/Committee Members: CARL L.

▼ This dissertation empirically examines factors that challenge revenue management practices in travel industry – air-travel and lodging. In particular, it focuses on strategic interactions among firms and strategic interactions between firms and customers. While most traditional revenue management focuses on single firm problems, better understanding competition and customers recently become two emerging themes in both theories and practices of revenue management. Meanwhile, with 20 years' successful implementation of sophisticated revenue management systems in both airline and hotel industries, they have accumulated rich data to better understand threats and opportunities currently facing both industries. Furthermore, with the proliferation of online distribution channels, extensive information has been made available to both customers and competitors. How to utilize such opportunity to understand customers and competition remains a question to both industry professionals and academic researchers. This dissertation contains three parts. The first part studies implications of strategic alliances in the airline industry. Airlines in the same alliance are competitors and partners at the same time. After alliances are formed, airlines' networks are expected to be consolidated and capacity redundancies would be eliminated, as intensity of competition decreases among alliance partners. However, we find that alliance partners seek to overlap more in their networks. We also find evidence that average prices increase by about $11 per one-way segment coupon in markets where two partners are both present. After ruling out other plausible competing mechanisms, we conclude that these findings are most likely driven by multimarket competition. The second part of the dissertation studies travelers' strategic decision to delay purchases in anticipation of price decreases when purchasing air-tickets. By estimating a structural model on booking and posted fare data, we find that 4.9% to 44.9% of the population are strategic, and that incorporating such strategic customer behavior will increase revenues by 3% to 5% in certain city-pair markets. The third part of the dissertation bridges the two themes by applying a consumer-centric lens to better understand competition in hotel industry. Using online search and clickstream data, we propose a methodology to identify key competitors based on which hotels customers have compared. This approach also provides a network view of localized competition structure. We also find that there is approximately 50% mismatch between competition sets perceived by customers and hoteliers. Independent hotels and distant hotels are usually left out of competition sets.

▼ Las aplicaciones Web son consideradas actualmente un elemento esencial e indispensable en toda actividad empresarial, intercambio de información y motor de redes sociales. La usabilidad, en este tipo de aplicaciones, es reconocida como uno de los factores clave más importantes, puesto que la facilidad o dificultad que los usuarios experimentan con estas aplicaciones determinan en gran medida su éxito o fracaso. Sin embargo, existen varias limitaciones en las propuestas actuales de evaluación de usabilidad Web, tales como: el concepto de usabilidad sólo se soporta parcialmente, las evaluaciones de usabilidad se realizan principalmente cuando la aplicación Web se ha desarrollado, hay una carencia de guías sobre cómo integrar adecuadamente la usabilidad en el desarrollo Web, y también existe una carencia de métodos de evaluación de la usabilidad Web que hayan sido validados empíricamente. Además, la mayoría de los procesos de desarrollo Web no aprovechan los artefactos producidos en las fases de diseño. Estos artefactos software intermedios se utilizan principalmente para guiar a los desarrolladores y para documentar la aplicación Web, pero no para realizar evaluaciones de usabilidad. Dado que la trazabilidad entre estos artefactos y la aplicación Web final no está bien definida, la realización de evaluaciones de usabilidad de estos artefactos resulta difícil. Este problema se mitiga en el desarrollo Web dirigido por modelos (DWDM), donde los artefactos intermedios (modelos) que representan diferentes perspectivas de una aplicación Web, se utilizan en todas las etapas del proceso de desarrollo, y el código fuente final se genera automáticamente a partir estos modelos. Al tener en cuenta la trazabilidad entre estos modelos, la evaluación de estos modelos permite detectar problemas de usabilidad que experimentaran los usuarios finales de la aplicación Web final, y proveer recomendaciones para corregir estos problemas de usabilidad durante fases tempranas del proceso de desarrollo Web. Esta tesis tiene como objetivo, tratando las anteriores limitaciones detectadas, el proponer un método de inspección de usabilidad que se puede integrar en diferentes procesos de desarrollo Web dirigido por modelos. El método se compone de un modelo de usabilidad Web que descompone el concepto de usabilidad en sub-características, atributos y métricas genéricas, y un proceso de evaluación de usabilidad Web (WUEP), que proporciona directrices sobre cómo el modelo de usabilidad se puede utilizar para llevar a cabo evaluaciones específicas. Las métricas genéricas del modelo de usabilidad deben operacionalizarse con el fin de ser aplicables a los artefactos software de diferentes métodos de desarrollo Web y en diferentes niveles de abstracción, lo que permite evaluar la usabilidad en varias etapas del proceso de desarrollo Web, especialmente en las etapas tempranas. Tanto el modelo de usabilidad como el proceso de evaluación están alineados con la última norma ISO/IEC 25000 estándar para la evaluación de la calidad de productos de software… Advisors/Committee Members: Abrahao Gonzales, Silvia Mara (advisor), Insfrán Pelozo, César Emilio (advisor).

▼ In developing countries, significant resource constraints (e.g., funding and human resource limitations) hamper the effective delivery of health commodities from upstream suppliers to the last-mile, leading to supply chain failures such as “stock-outs.” For individuals who are deprived access to basic health commodities due to stock-outs, the consequences can be dire. For example, without reliable access to contraceptives, women may suffer unintended pregnancies, imposing economic and psychological burden, and unsafe abortions that often cause death. While the prevalence of health commodity stock-outs and the consequent repercussions for clients in developing countries are well-documented, there is a paucity of rigorous empirical research into the factors that drive such stock-outs. Focusing on this context, this dissertation aims to (i) empirically evaluate and uncover the factors that contribute to health commodity stock-outs in developing countries by leveraging field data collected from health facilities and using a combination of rigorous econometric and predictive modeling techniques; (ii) generate actionable insights that public health organizations, governments, and donors can use to mitigate the risk of stock-outs in developing countries. Toward addressing these objectives, the first dissertation study focuses on the effect of factors at the upstream level of the public health supply chain and explores the impact of the distribution model (i.e., pull vs. push) on the likelihood of stock-outs. At the downstream level, the second study investigates the role of practices that health facilities can use to mitigate the likelihood of stock-outs. The third dissertation study also focuses on the downstream level of the public health supply chain by examining how the provision of training to frontline healthcare providers can help reduce the likelihood of stock-outs. Taken together, the three dissertation studies serve as the first systematic attempt in the literature to conduct a rigorous empirical evaluation of the factors driving the stock-outs of health commodities in developing countries

Complexos macrocíclicos de lantanídeos, em especial com o íon Gd(III), são cada vez mais utilizados como agentes de contrastes na técnica médica de diagnóstico, imagem por ressonância magnética nuclear (MRI). O estudo teórico de novos agentes de contrastes através de modelagem molecular é uma área de pesquisa em grande expansão. No nosso trabalho fizemos um estudo conformacional dos seguintes compostos supramoleculares: os ligantes macrocíclicos 1,4,7,10- tetraazaciclododecano (DOTA) e ácido 1,4,7,10-tetraazaciclododecano- 1,4,7,10-tetraacético (H4DOTA), o complexo macrocíclico [Gd(DOTA)H2O]- e o complexo macrocíclico Gd(PhenHDO3A).H2O, onde PhenHDO3A é (rel-10-[(5R,6R)-5,6-dihidro-6-hidroxi-1,10-fenantrolina-5- il)-1,4,7,10-tetraazaciclododecano-1,4,7-ácido triacético). Para isso, elaboramos e executamos um procedimento que envolve o mapeamento ou amostragem do espaço conformacional desses compostos através de dinâmicas moleculares curtas em diferentes temperaturas para em seguida, essas geometrias serem usadas como pontos de partida para otimização de geometria usando tanto o método semi-empírico AM1 quanto o modelo Sparkle/AM1. Como resultado, podemos citar que a elevada flexibilidade dos ligantes macrocíclicos não coordenados DOTA e H4DOTA, serviu para testar a capacidade da nossa metodologia de visitar regiões distintas do espaço conformacional. Para o complexo [Gd(DOTA)H2O]-, conseguimos encontrar os mesmos isômeros conformacionais que já são reportados em outros estudos, bem como revelar detalhes relativos à mobilidade da molécula de água coordenada. Além disso, conseguimos identificar mínimos locais intermediários que estão relacionados com a dinâmica de rotação dos grupos acetato em ambos os complexos e a dinâmica de inversão do anel tetraazadodecano no complexo Gd(PhenHDO3A).H2O. A relevância desse trabalho está apoiada no fato de que agora temos uma estratégia interessante para realizar a busca de isômeros conformacionais desses compostos, sendo essas informações, muito importantes quando se deseja projetar uma nova molécula para atuar como agente de contraste em MRI.

Lanthanide macrocyclic complexes, especially containing Gd(III) ions, are largely used as contrast agents in the medical diagnostic technique named Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Theoretical investigation of these compounds by molecular modeling methods is an emerging research area today. In this work we have performed a conformational study of the following supramolecular compounds: the macrocyclic ligands 1,4,7,10- tetraazacyclododecane (DOTA) and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane- 1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (H4DOTA) and the macrocyclic complexes [Gd(DOTA).H2O]- and Gd(PhenHDO3A).H2O, where PhenHDO3A is (rel-10- [(5R,6R)-5,6-dihydro-6-hydroxy-1,10-Phenanthroline-5-yl)-1,4,7,10- tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid). For this, we have developed and carried out a procedure that involves: (1) the sampling of the conformation space of these compounds through some short molecular dynamics at different temperatures and (2)…

Dans la recherche de nouveaux traitements des maladies broncho-pulmonaires comme l'asthme et la broncho-pneumopathie chronique obstructive, les inhibiteurs de PDE4 sont des cibles intéressantes. Dans cette voie, notre laboratoire s'intéresse à la synthèse d'une nouvelle famille d'inhibiteurs à base pyridazinone. Pour cela, cette thèse couple la modélisation moléculaire (docking : développement méthodologique et application), la synthèse organique ainsi que des tests biologiques.Dans un premier temps, le développement du logiciel d'amarrage moléculaire AlgoGen a été poursuivi. AlgoGen (créé initialement à l'université de Lorraine en 2009) est un logiciel qui couple un algorithme génétique pour la recherche conformationnelle à une évaluation de l'énergie protéine-ligand à un niveau quantique semi-empirique alors que les autres logiciels existant effectuent ce calcul à un niveau classique en général. Le calcul d'une énergie à un niveau quantique est très coûteux en temps. C'est pourquoi, nous avons apporté de nombreuses modifications à ce logiciel afin d'accroître son efficacité dans la recherche conformationnelle. Ce logiciel a ensuite été utilisé sur un jeu de 22 dimères (typiques des reconnaissances moléculaires biologiques) et à huit systèmes protéine-ligand.Dans un deuxième temps, huit inhibiteurs ont été synthétisés et testés in vitro sur la cible PDE4. Pour compléter ce volet expérimental, une étude de structure-activité a été effectuée grâce au docking moléculaire (AlgoGen, Autodock, Glide) pour rationaliser les activités mesurées (IC50). Pour terminer, des pharmaco-modulations guidées par docking ont été réalisées afin de proposer de nouveaux inhibiteurs de plus grandes affinités avec la protéine PDE4D.

For the research of new treatment of bronchopulmonary diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the PDE4 inhibitors are an attractive target. Our laboratory is interested in a new PDE4 inhibitors family based on the pyridazinone pattern. For this purpose, this thesis couples molecular modeling (docking: methodological development and application), organic synthesis and biological tests.First, the development of the molecular docking software AlgoGen was continued. AlgoGen (initially created at university of Lorraine in 2009) is a program which couples a genetic algorithm for the conformational research and a protein-ligand energy evaluation at the quantum semi-empirical level while other software do this evaluation at a classical level. Quantum energy calculations are very time consuming. That is the reason why some modifications have been made to improve its efficiency for the conformational search. This software was then used for calculations on a set of 22 dimers (typical in biological molecular recognition) as well on 8 ligand-protein complexes.Secondly, eight inhibitors were synthesized and tested in vitro on the PDE4 target. To complete the experimental part, a structure-activity relationship study was carried out through a molecular docking to rationalize the measured…

▼ Viimastel kümnenditel on arusaamad riigi või kohaliku omavalitsuse rollist avalike teenuste osuta¬misel oluliselt muutunud. Paljud riigid on algatanud avaliku sektori valitsemise reforme, et suurendada avalike teenuste osutamise tulemuslikkust. Reformide tulemusel on nende teenuste osutamine muutunud killustatumaks ja lepingulistel suhetel põhinevaks. Samas on senised teadmised valitsemise mõjudest avalike teenuste osutamise tulemuslikkusele kasinad ja killustunud. Käesoleva doktoritöö eesmärgiks on luua Eesti veesektori näitel põhjalikum arusaamine sellest, kuidas avalike teenuste osutamisega tegelevate ettevõtete valitsemise mehhanismide ülesehitus ja kasutamine mõjutavad avalike teenuste osutamise rahalist ja mitterahalist tulemuslikkust. See teadmine aitab poliitikate kujundajaid, hinnaregulaatoreid ning teisi osapooli strateegiate arendamisel ja võimaluste leidmisel, et parandada veeteenuste ja teiste sarnaste avalike teenuste osutamise tulemuslikkust. Doktoritöö empiirilise uuringu esimene osa sisaldab kvantitatiivset analüüsi omandivormi mõju kohta Eesti vee-ettevõtete tehnilisele tõhususele. Analüüs näitas, et ühtegi vaadeldud omandivormi (avaliku, erasektori ning avaliku ja erasektori ühine omandus) ei saa seostada suurema või madalama tõhususega kasutatud valimi korral. Uuringu tulemused ei toetanud teoreetilisi seisukohti, et avaliku sektori omanduses olevad ettevõtted on suhteliselt vähem tõhusad. Empiirilise uuringu teine osa koosneb võrdlevast juhtumiuuringust, mille tulemustest selgus, et vaadeldud omandivormidel on erinev mõju vee-ettevõtete rahalisele ja mitterahalisele tulemuslikkusele, mis sõltuvalt kasutatud valitsemise mehhanismidest võib olla negatiivne või positiivne. Eraomaniku kontrollitav vee-ettevõte (sh. avaliku ja erasektori ühises omanduses olev) võib saavutada suhteliselt suurema tulemuslikkuse, kui õigused (nt. tariifid) ja kohustused (nt. kvaliteedinõuded, aruandluse põhimõtted) on rangete lepingutega selgelt määratletud. Veeteenuste osutamine eraettevõtte poolt ilma eelnevate kirjalike kokkulepeteta viib tõenäoliselt tulemuslikkust kahjustavate volitaja-agendi probleemideni kohaliku omavalitsuse ja ettevõtte vahel. Avaliku sektori omanduses olevad ettevõtted, mida sageli peetakse vanamoelisteks ja ebaefektiivseteks, võivad saavutada hea tulemuslikkuse ka ilma rangete lepinguliste korraldusteta, kui vee-ettevõte on seotud kohaliku omavalitsusega ettevõtte nõukogu kaudu professionaalsusele tuginevalt. Doktoritöö tulemused osundavad, et ainuüksi vee-ettevõtete omandivormi muutmine (nt. erastamine) ei lahenda tulemuslikkusega seonduvaid väljakutseid veeteenuste osutamisel. Poliitikud, veesektori regulaatorid ja vee-ettevõtete juhid peaksid põhjalikult kaalutlema veeteenuste osutamist reguleerivate lepinguliste sätete ning ettevõtte nõukogu kasutamise mõju vee-ettevõtte soovitud rahaliste ja mitterahaliste eesmärkide saavutamisele.; Performance improvement in public services is recognised as a goal for many governments, and has resulted in a variety of public governance reform…

▼ Nursing metaparadigm concepts of nurse, person, environment, and health are the conceptual building blocks which provide direction to nursing research and knowledge development (Fawcett & Desnato-Madeya, 2013). Interaction of person, nurse and environment facilitate optimal outcomes yet, there remains a need for research on the paradigm concept of environment and creation of a healing environment in particular. (Meleis, 2010). The purpose of this study was to explore the strategies Christian nurses used to create a healing environment and enhance well-being for non-end-of-life, hospitalized patients from admission forward. Specific aims included identifying nurses’ perspectives on (1) the strategies Christian nurses used to create a healing environment and enhance well-being, (2) the outcomes they perceived resulting from these strategies, and (3) the factors they regarded as either enhancing or inhibiting the creation of the healing environments. An additional aim was description of characteristics of nurses who created healing environments and enhanced well-being. In this qualitative, Glaserian grounded theory (GGT) study, interview data were collected via a demographic “Information about You” sheet (see Appendix D) and semi- structured interviews (see Appendix C for interview guide) of nurses (N = 15) until data saturation was reached. A criterion-based, purposive sample was recruited, and tape-recorded face-to-face interviews were transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed using constant comparative methods in consultation with a grounded theory expert. “Charting the healing path” is the core category and consists of four phases: helping patients get better, fostering the healing environment, charting a healing path, and observing outcomes. Within this model are ten substantive categories of baseline assessment, being available, knowing as a unique individual, hearing immediate concerns, seeing from the patient and the nurse points of view, partnering with the patient, setting realistic goals, realizing best potential, and outcomes. See Figure 1 for a conceptual model. The “charting the healing path” model informs development of the environment domain of nursing knowledge. Knowing the patient, the juncture of nurse and patient points of view, and the resultant nurse-patient partnership seek best potential outcomes to be realized incrementally during, and after, hospitalization.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the operational impacts of crowding in hospital emergency departments. The body of this work is comprised of three essays. In the first essay, "Waiting Patiently: An Empirical Study of Queue Abandonment in an Emergency Department," we study queue abandonment, or "left without being seen." We show that abandonment is not only influenced by wait time, but also by the queue length and the observable queue flows during the waiting exposure. We show that patients are sensitive to being "jumped" in the line and that patients respond differently to people more sick and less sick moving through the system. This study shows that managers have an opportunity to impact abandonment behavior by altering what information is available to waiting customers. In the second essay, "Doctors Under Load: An Empirical Study of State-Dependent Service Times in Emergency Care," we show that when crowded, multiple mechanisms in the emergency department act to retard patient treatment, but care providers adjust their clinical behavior to accelerate the service. We identify two mechanisms that providers use to accelerate the system: early task initiation and task reduction. In contrast to other recent works, we find the net effect of these countervailing forces to be an increase in service time when the system is crowded. Further, we use simulation to show that ignoring state-dependent service times leads to modeling errors that could cause hospitals to overinvest in human and physical resources. In the final essay, "The Financial Consequences of Lost Demand and Reducing Boarding in Hospital Emergency Departments," we use discrete event simulation to estimate the number of patients lost to Left Without Being Seen and ambulance diversion as a result of patients waiting in the emergency department for an inpatient bed (known as boarding). These lost patients represent both a failure of the emergency department to meet the needs of those seeking care and lost revenue for the hospital. We show that dynamic bed management policies that proactively cancel some non-emergency patients when the hospital is near capacity can lead to reduced boarding, increased number of patients served, and increased hospital revenue.

Hydrological systems seem simple, "everything flows", but prove to be even more complex when one tries to differentiate and characterize flows in detail. Hydrology has thus developed a plurality of models that testify to the complexity of hydrological systems and the variety of their causal representations, from the simplest to the most sophisticated. Beyond a subjective complexity linked to our difficulty in understanding or our attention to detail, hydrological systems also present an intrinsic complexity. These include the nonlinearity of processes and interactions between variables, the number of variables in the system, or dimension, and how they are organized to further simplify or complicate the system's dynamics. The thesis addresses these aspects of hydrological complexity. An epistemological and historical analysis of the concept of causality explores the human understanding of hydrological systems. Based on empirical approaches applied to the limestone karstic system of the Lhomme at Rochefort in Belgium, the thesis then studies methods to analyze the nonlinearity of the Lhomme river recession and associate it with the geomorphological complexity of the watershed. The thesis also handles the discrimination of dominant dynamic behaviors in the hydrological continuum of the Rochefort caves subsurface based on an electrical resistivity model of the subsurface and clustering methods grouping time-series according to their similarity. Finally, the study maps the Rochefort Caves system's organization by detecting causal interactions between several environmental data - gravity, the dynamics of subsurface resistivity, and percolations measured in the caves - using time-series analysis and causal inference methods.
