Software industry has adopted automated testing widely. The most common method adopted is graphical user interface test automation for the functional scenarios to reduce manual testing and increase the repeatability. Reducing execution time and redundancy to achieve quality “go/no go decisions” provides rational for the executive management to allocate funds to adopt automation and invest in the setup including people, process, and tools to achieve faster time to market. There are a variety of practices engaged by testers, like frameworks, tools, methods, procedures, models, and technologies to achieve automation. Nonetheless, the actual effectiveness in terms of return on investment (ROI) is not known, though there are various formulas to calculate ROI of test automation. The factors that determine the ROI are maturity of test automation, purpose, or intent, picking right tests for automation, knowledge of the tester to derive test coverage, domain expertise, defining right metrics like defects found by automation runs, cost versus reduction of time, labor versus quality of scripts, repeatability, and results. These factors form the base of the questions designed for the survey. The paper presents a survey and analysis to understand the ROI of test automation from industry test professionals from both product and services organizations.

It is common in the integrated targeting inventory literature to assume 100% inspection. Yet, sampling inspection is still a valid alternative in numerous situations. Inspection time has been assumed negligible in the literature of integrated inventory and sampling inspection. Neglecting inspection time is unrealistic, especially when rejected lots are sent for 100% inspection. This research work integrates process targeting, production lot-sizing and inspection. Given a scenario of a producer and distributer, the objective is to determine the optimal mean setting at the producer, the production lot size to be produced and shipped to the distributor and the reorder point at the distributor under a given sampling inspection plan. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, sampling inspection and its associated costs are rarely addressed in integrated supply chain models, and have never been addressed in integrated models with controllable production rates. Numerical illustrations using an efficient solution technique are presented to highlight the impact of various model parameters. The results indicated that inspection time has a significant impact on the total cost of the developed model, especially, when tightened inspection plans are used.

Entrepreneurship is an important part of any economy today regardless of its level of development. However, not in all contexts do entrepreneurs operate in the same way, nor are they motivated by the same factors. This research seeks to identify possible coincidence factors and differences between entrepreneurs that operate in different contexts from the point of view of their historical evolution, the duration of these and the economic and social model applied in the countries. Specifically, a comparative study is carried out between entrepreneurs from the republics of Ecuador and Cuba considering various variables such as: personality characteristics (attitude to failure, risk, perseverance and innovation), use of the available time fund for work in entrepreneurship; Impact of the environment in relation to: government regulations, taxes, level of competition and availability of suppliers, as well as the structure of personal expenses projected in the short and long term that entrepreneurs assume as a stimulus for their actions. For the development of the study, a description of the behavior of the variables was initially made and later, by hypothesis testing, to verify differences and similarities between both populations. The study allowed us to identify common and divergent aspects between both populations analyzed. Similarly, it showed how differences in the administrative and financial environment in which entrepreneurs operate generate changes in their priorities and projections.

This paper provides a literature review of the different approaches used for image denoising. Various approaches are studied and their results are compared to provide a better understanding of the filters used to de-noise images. It is shown that how a single image is subjected to various denoising techniques and how it can react to those filters. Statistical and mean deviation techniques used by halder et al. (2019) and CNN techniques used by zing et al.(2018) are reviewed in detail to show how salt and pepper noise can be removed from the images. Each paper that is discussed here has explored the individual approach based on their research and the aim of this paper is to discuss all those approaches in a subsequent manner. Keywords— Image pre-processing, noise removal, image denoising, salt and pepper noise, noise filter, non-linear filters, median filter, deep learning for noise removal.

With the ageing population all over the world, long-term care services, such as nursing care, are essential to provide care and treatments to elderly patients in the community. During the nursing care services, elderly patients who live in the nursing homes require to be treated and consulted in a number of healthcare organisations, for example hospitals, mental health centres and rehabilitation centres. Currently, the data management for the elderly is relatively centralised to establish their own electronic medical records and protected health information without decision support functionalities. The community and healthcare industry are eager to develop a safe and comprehensive system to provide adequate healthcare services and monitoring to the elderly. In this study, an internet of healthcare things (IoHT)-based care link system (IoHT-CLS) is proposed, which provides a structured framework on integrating IoHT and artificial intelligence (AI) to generate a one-stop solution for managing elderly’s healthcare facilities. The elderly can be effectively linked into the integrated IoHT system by using various sensing and data collection technologies. The collected data are further processed by means of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and case-based reasoning to provide the functionalities of risk management and customised elderly service programmes for the elderly care institutions. Consequently, this study contributes to the healthcare management through the enhancement of service quality in the community.
随着全球人口老龄化，护理等长期护理服务对社区的老年患者提供照顾和治疗至关重要。在护理服务期间，住在养老院的老年病人需要在一些医疗机构接受治疗和咨询，例如医院、精神健康中心和康复中心。目前，老年人的数据管理相对集中，建立自己的电子病历和受保护的健康信息，没有决策支持功能。社会和医疗保健行业都渴望建立一个安全而全面的系统，为老年人提供足够的医疗保健服务和监测。本研究提出一种基于医疗物联网(internet of healthcare things, IoHT)的照护连结系统(IoHT- cls)，提供一个整合医疗物联网与人工智慧(artificial intelligence, AI)的结构化架构，以产生一站式的长者照护设施管理解决方案。通过使用各种传感和数据收集技术，老年人可以有效地连接到综合物联网系统中。收集到的数据通过自适应神经模糊推理系统和基于案例的推理进一步处理，为养老机构提供风险管理和定制服务方案的功能。因此，本研究透过提升社区的服务质素，为医疗保健管理作出贡献。

The purpose of this study is to outline a transformation model that can help commercial enterprises to design, develop and launch a transformation programme of change within its global human resource (HR) operations function using the Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyse-Design-Verify (DMADV) methodology. A qualitative approach of a single descriptive case study using the Six Sigma DMADV methodology was chosen to develop an iterative strategic roadmap that enables a HR function to transform its current service delivery operating model in line with organisational challenges. The present results indicate that the design of a strategic planning process, transformation programme and roadmap of prioritised improvement initiatives can enable human resource management (HRM) functions to scale their operating model into the future. Furthermore, the flexibility of the DMADV methodology means that the proposed model may be applied in any function outside of HR and indeed may be of interest to private organisations seeking to develop a similar programme of change.

: This study aimed to examine empirically whether rapid changes in the technological environment affect inter-organizational relationships. In the automotive industry, the advantage of cohesive and vertically integrated inter-organizational relationships has been pointed out conventionally. The development of automated driving in the automotive industry, which is the subject of this thesis, is eliciting significant changes in the traditional automotive products and industry structure – changes generally associated with the automotive product structure moving closer to IT products. And, sharply conflicting views are found in previous studies as to whether this traditional inter-organizational network will change. As a methodology, I aimed to clarify empirically what kind of network structure of inter-organizational relations firms is growing with changes in industrial structure by creating a database of actual firm behavior. The database was analyzed using the social network analysis method, and the characteristics of growing firms’ organizational network structure were extracted. The results from an analysis of a large number of databases indicated that the technological change from automated driving may have prompted a change in inter-organizational relations toward a horizontal division of labor in the automobile industry in which so-called platform leader companies would emerge.

Complexity is considered one of the hallmarks of megaproject failure; however, no common definition of complexity in the megaproject context exists in contemporary literature; particularly in developing countries. The present study explores the definitions, characteristics, and strategy to respond to the complexity of megaprojects in developing countries. An exploration of normative theories and a systematic literature review were performed to investigate the concept of complexity. This study proposes the definition of complexity as a “challenge” for entities—including project managers—in megaproject management. This definition extends to encompass both positive and negative challenges, offering a more balanced perspective on the causes of failure in addition to the sources of opportunities for innovation. We determine the aspects of megaproject complexity associated with structural and social factors of interrelatedness, nonlinearities, and emergence. This study proposes a formal definition, clarifying the characteristics of complexity and synthesizing strategy themes that respond to megaproject complexity. This resulting study provides insights for both megaproject researchers and professionals.
