The improvement in the management of Public Health through the public health management system (PHMS) has become a bottleneck. Although the management of a large number of patients' information has been studied, their networking aspect remains a challenge in prompt assessment of their records. With a view to bringing about an efficient management system, the Software Defined Networking (SDN) Technology came up with an interesting idea to properly manage network operation flow. The SDN technology enables the controller(s) to regulate the control flow in a logical manner through its intelligent control. This paper proposed a framework based on SDN to optimise the performance of large-scale PHMS. As a measure for better healthcare records, the proposed technology provides a reliable system to address huge patients' data request that is imminent. This article motivates experimentally, the need to despise the historical fear of new technology in PHMS as against the conventional/old practices.
通过公共卫生管理系统(PHMS)来改善公共卫生管理已成为一个瓶颈。尽管对大量患者信息的管理已经进行了研究,但其网络化方面在及时评估其记录方面仍然是一个挑战。软件定义网络(SDN)技术为了建立一个高效的管理系统,提出了一个有趣的想法来妥善管理网络的操作流程。SDN技术通过智能控制,使控制器能够合理地调节控制流。本文提出了一种基于SDN的框架来优化大规模PHMS的性能。作为改善医疗记录的一项措施,拟议的技术提供了一个可靠的系统来处理迫在眉睫的大量患者数据请求。本文实验性地激发了人们对PHMS中新技术的历史恐惧,而不是对传统/旧实践的恐惧。

In this paper, based on the concept of Havrda-Charvat-Tsallis entropy, fuzzy entropy measure is introduced in the setting of fuzzy set theory. The properties of the new fuzzy measure are investigated in a mathematical view point. Several examples are applied to illustrate the performance of the proposed fuzzy measure. Comparison with several existing entropies indicates that the proposed fuzzy information measure has a greater ability in discrimaniting different fuzzy sets. Lastly, the proposed fuzzy information measure is applied to the problem of MCDM (multi criteria decision making) based on TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method under bipolar fuzzy environment. Two models are constructed to obtain the attribute weights in the cases that the information attribute weights is partially known and completely unknown. An example is employed to show the effectiveness of the new MCDM method.

This study approaches the relative position of a company in technological network based on patent citation of the cloud computing industry. It integrates the PCA with the patent family to obtain a complete data set for later analysis. After that, the Technology Knowledge Redundancy in the PCN has TKS/TKR indicators for analysis. Moreover, the changes in the technological positions before and after patent transfer revealed three patent acquisition strategies namely: strengthening foothold by enhancing barriers, a cash cow for non- practicing entities (NPE), and a shortcut for peripheral and new entrants. After patent transfer, more companies obtained high and low positions in the technological network and gained abundant and decreased resources. This fact reveals that the unchanged dichotomy in technological transfer. In order to obtain high positions in the technology industry and gain cooperation opportunities, marginal or new entrants of the technological field would need to acquire patents with high TKS/TKR.
本研究以云计算产业的专利引文为基础,探讨企业在技术网络中的相对地位。它集成了PCA与专利族,以获得一个完整的数据集,为以后的分析。之后,PCN中的技术知识冗余有TKS/TKR指标进行分析。此外,专利转移前后技术地位的变化揭示了三种专利获取策略,即通过增强壁垒来巩固立足点、为非执业实体提供现金牛、为外围和新进入者提供捷径。专利转移后,更多的企业在技术网络中占据了高位和低位,获得了丰富和减少的资源。这一事实揭示了技术转让中不变的二分法。为了在技术行业中获得较高的地位并获得合作机会,技术领域的边缘或新进入者需要获得具有高TKS/TKR的专利。

An emergency department service system provides a medical service to patients who are prioritized for medical care, starting with triage categories and ending with the discharge formalities. In this paper, the emergency department service system is modeled as a fuzzy multi-state network called emergency department service network (EDSN). Each arc is a workstation with a fuzzy multi-state situation because of the vagueness in measuring human capability, and each node is represented as a waiting area. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the system reliability, that is, the possibility that an emergency department service system can provide necessary treatments to the patients. Since each workstation is fuzzy multi-state, we proposed a method to generate the membership function by utilizing by statistical parameters, such as average and standard deviation. A practical example with statistical data taken from a Taiwan hospital to evaluate the system reliability is demon-strated.
急诊科服务体系以分诊分类为起点,以出院手续为终点,为优先获得医疗服务的患者提供医疗服务。本文将急诊科服务系统建模为模糊多状态网络,称为急诊科服务网络(EDSN)。由于测量人的能力的模糊性,每个弧线都是一个具有模糊多状态的工作站,每个节点都表示为一个等待区。本文的主要目的是评估系统的可靠性,即急诊科服务系统为患者提供必要治疗的可能性。由于每个工作站都是模糊的多状态,我们提出了一种利用平均和标准差等统计参数生成隶属度函数的方法。以台湾某医院的统计数据为例,对系统的可靠性进行了评估。

The relationship between international experience and cultural intelligence with the moderating effect of acculturative stress 国际经验与文化智力的关系及异文化压力的调节作用
Q3 Engineering Pub Date : 2019-09-01 DOI: 10.6186/IJIMS.201909_30(3).0002
Beibei Chiou, W. Chang
Cultural Intelligence (CQ) has been identified as a critical competency in responding to globalization. Recently, the number of students with international experience has increased because international experience has been viewed as one method of developing CQ. During the process of CQ development, negative psychological factors might influence the results. This study discusses CQ from a psychological perspective. The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between international experience and CQ, and the moderating effect of acculturative stress. This quantitative research used a survey approach to collect the data. Snowball sampling, a convenience sampling approach, selected Taiwanese students with international experience as the subjects. Correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to analyze the hypotheses. The results remind us that understanding the knowledge of a culture and engaging deeply in a culture are the value of experiencing an intercultural context.

Most research on housing price modeling only utilizes a single environmental factor. The goals of this paper are to select the appropriate factors and to identify the influencing patterns for 3 major types of real estates through model building that includes 49 housing factors. The datasets were composed by 33,027 transactions in Taipei City from July 2013 to the end of 2016. The models utilized were Decision Tree (DT), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Random Forest (RF), Model Tree (MT), and Multiple Regression (MR). The importance of each factor derived from the above 5 models is thus analyzed and ranked for the 3 housing types. Also, this paper adopts Generalized Additive Models (GAM) to derive the patterns of important factors influencing housing prices that includes increasing, decreasing, and non-linear relationships.

By applying the notion of the efficient Banzhaf index, any additional fixed utility should be distributed equally among the players who are concerned. In many applications, however, this notion seems unrealistic for the situation that is being modeled. Therefore, inspired by the notion of the weighted allocation of non-separable costs (WANSC), we adopt weight functions to introduce a modification of the efficient Banzhaf index, which we name the weighted Banzhaf index. In order to present the rationality of the weighted Banzhaf index, we adopt some reasonable properties to characterize the weighted Banzhaf index. Based on different viewpoints, we further define excess functions to propose alternative formulations and related dynamic processes for the weighted Banzhaf index and the WANSC respectively.
通过应用有效班扎夫指数的概念,任何额外的固定效用都应该在相关参与者之间平均分配。然而,在许多应用程序中,这个概念对于正在建模的情况似乎是不现实的。因此,受不可分成本加权分配(WANSC)概念的启发,我们采用权重函数引入对有效班扎夫指数的修正,我们将其命名为加权班扎夫指数。为了体现加权Banzhaf指数的合理性,我们采用了一些合理的性质来表征加权Banzhaf指数。基于不同的观点,我们进一步定义了超额函数,分别提出了加权Banzhaf指数和WANSC的备选公式和相关动态过程。

Optimal Procurement Strategies for a Risk-Averse Buyer When Price Is Uncertain 价格不确定时风险规避买家的最优采购策略
Q3 Engineering Pub Date : 2019-06-01 DOI: 10.6186/IJIMS.201906_30(2).0002
Qiao Wu, Andy W. Chen
A procurement model is built based on the expected utility theory when purchase price is uncertain. The optimal purchasing strategy for a risk-averse manufacturer is obtained. And the influence of different factors on the optimal purchasing strategy is analyzed. The results show that the relationship between the optimal purchasing quantity and the degree of risk aversion depends on the relative level of procurement cost at that time. As the price volatility or drift rate increases, the purchase amount in the early stages will increase, and the purchase amount in the later stages will decrease. Finally, it is demonstrated that the procurement strategy of a risk-neutral manufacturer is a bang-bang strategy, which is different from the procurement strategy of a risk-averse manufacturer.
基于期望效用理论,建立了采购价格不确定时的采购模型。得到了风险规避型制造商的最优采购策略。分析了不同因素对最优采购策略的影响。结果表明,最优采购量与风险规避程度之间的关系取决于当时采购成本的相对水平。随着价格波动率或漂移率的增加,前期的购买量会增加,后期的购买量会减少。最后,论证了风险中性制造商的采购策略是一种bang-bang策略,不同于风险厌恶制造商的采购策略。

This study solves a multi-project, multi-mode, and resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Multi-mode means that the activities in a project can be accomplished in one out of several execution modes, each of which represents an alternative combination of resource requirement of the activity. The present study considers the case that the resources need to be allocated first to individual projects by the upper-level manager, and then the project manager of each project schedules the project to optimize its outcome. In view of such a hierarchical decision-making structure, this study uses bi-level decentralized programming to model the problem. The proposed solution procedure employs combinatorial auction mechanisms to determine resource allocations to projects. A regular combinatorial auction and a fuzzy combinatorial auction are used, respectively, for cases of hard and soft capacity constraints. The proposed solution procedure is evaluated by comparison with the results reported in the literature.
本研究解决了一个多项目、多模式、资源受限的项目调度问题。多模式意味着项目中的活动可以在几种执行模式中的一种中完成,每一种执行模式都代表了活动资源需求的可选组合。本研究考虑的情况是,资源需要首先由上层管理者分配给单个项目,然后每个项目的项目经理对项目进行调度以优化其结果。鉴于这种分层决策结构,本研究采用双层分散规划对问题进行建模。建议的解决方案过程采用组合拍卖机制来确定项目的资源分配。对于硬容量约束和软容量约束,分别采用规则组合拍卖和模糊组合拍卖。通过与文献中报道的结果进行比较,评估了所提出的解决程序。

This paper takes a contingent claim approach to the market valuation of a banking firm’s equity. A model is presented that explicitly takes into account the following: (i) the bank is regret-averse; (ii) the earning-asset portfolio of the bank includes regular banking loans, default-free liquid assets, and shadow banking wealth management products; and (iii) imposing heightened capital requirements on the bank emerges. We argue that it may not be regretful for the bank to conduct the WMPs, implying that these activities have been increasing over time. Increases in WMPs or capital requirements decrease the bank interest margin, which makes the bank more prone to loan risk-taking, thereby adversely affecting banking stability.
本文采用或有债权的方法研究银行股权的市场估值问题。提出了一个明确考虑以下因素的模型:(i)银行厌恶后悔;(二)银行的收益资产组合包括常规银行贷款、无违约流动资产和影子银行理财产品;(三)提高银行资本金要求。我们认为,银行开展理财产品可能并不后悔,这意味着这些活动随着时间的推移一直在增加。理财产品或资本要求的提高降低了银行的息差,这使银行更倾向于承担贷款风险,从而对银行业的稳定产生不利影响。
