Prozessverbesserung mit Reifegradmodellen

Since the Software Engineering Institute has published the Capability Maturity Model in 1991, maturity models evolved into a commonly used instrument for assessing the state of a specific class of objects and for identifying improvement measures. As process improvement is a core task of business process management and takes top positions on CIO agendas, maturity models are prospering in this domain as well. However, it remains unclear which maturity levels should be aspired for distinct processes or process groups. Numerous companies strive for increasing or even maximizing maturity levels. Some maturity model specifications contain oppositional advice, but lack concrete recommendations. Even academia provides no answers. Against this background, we propose a mathematical optimization model that builds on insights from value-based management in order to analyze general economic relationships of process improvement with maturity models. The guiding effects of these relationships are illustrated using the example of ??CMMI for Services??. We conclude by discussing limitations and by pointing out theoretical as well as managerial implications.

文献属于文化的范畴.由于物质载体的不同,文献也表现不同的文化理念.网络文献的出现,是社会网络化发展的结果.它具有时空性、创造性与科技性的特征,由此所反映出来的文化也具备了这些特点,本文分析阐述了两者之间的必然联系.     

Global civil society or ‘networked globality’: beyond the territorialist and societalist paradigm

The concept of global civil society (GCS) is central to treatments of globalization and to depictions of a contested globality. This article offers a novel critique of the concept and its value for a critical social science of globalization. It argues that received notions of GCS are rooted in territorialist and societalist paradigms of the social and should not be used to subvent an account of globalization located in the dynamics of trans and even post-societal and post-national connections and the kind of world they intimate. GCS and variants such as cosmopolitanism are examined to evaluate whether they can provide a way of bridging the gap between territorialist and societalist assumptions about the organization of the social and the increasingly post-societal and post-territorial nature of the world. The aim is to avoid the inviting, but ultimately misleading sleight of hand through which GCS is revealed as the boundary-less equivalent of civil society, but with all the normative and aesthetic baggage of the latter still attached. The article ends with a critical discussion of the claim that globalization processes of connection are producing a networked globality in which reflexive agency is not lost. To recognize this requires a radical take on networks and their ontologies and being skeptical about much of the received sociology of globalization.     

Departmental quality ratings and visibility: The advantages of size and age

In this article I argue that quality ratings can be conceptualized as reflecting the extent to which departments are visible to outside raters. Using cross-sectional as well as panel data on sociology departments from the two latest surveys of graduate education published by the National Research Council in 1982 and 1995, I explain departmental quality ratings in terms of measures that reflect a department’s visibility, such as its faculty productivity, size, age, and location at an elite-status university. While the results of the cross-sectional and the longitudinal models tell different stories, the two are not incompatible. Specifically, both models suggest strong effects of departmental size and age. By comparison, the estimated effects of faculty productivity and location at an elite-status university are weaker and significant only in the cross-sectional model. An earlier version of this paper was presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, New York, NY, August 1996. This research was conducted under a FLAS fellowship from the U.S. Department of Education. I wish to thank Lowell Hargens for helpful comments and advice.

2-Rainbow domination number of Cartesian products: C_{n}\square C_{3} and C_{n}\square C_{5}

A function \(f:V(G)\rightarrow \mathcal P (\{1,\ldots ,k\})\) is called a \(k\) -rainbow dominating function of \(G\) (for short \(kRDF\) of \(G)\) if \( \bigcup \nolimits _{u\in N(v)}f(u)=\{1,\ldots ,k\},\) for each vertex \( v\in V(G)\) with \(f(v)=\varnothing .\) By \(w(f)\) we mean \(\sum _{v\in V(G)}\left|f(v)\right|\) and we call it the weight of \(f\) in \(G.\) The minimum weight of a \( kRDF\) of \(G\) is called the \(k\) -rainbow domination number of \(G\) and it is denoted by \(\gamma _{rk}(G).\) We investigate the \(2\) -rainbow domination number of Cartesian products of cycles. We give the exact value of the \(2\) -rainbow domination number of \(C_{n}\square C_{3}\) and we give the estimation of this number with respect to \(C_{n}\square C_{5},\) \((n\ge 3).\) Additionally, for \(n=3,4,5,6,\) we show that \(\gamma _{r2}(C_{n}\square C_{5})=2n.\)

新疆禁毒史探

19世纪20-30年代鸦片传入新疆,新疆禁毒亦始,曾有过十分严厉的禁烟规定,但流于空文。鸦片战争后毒品种植反而猖獗。民国时期烟毒泛滥,当局时严时疏,至盛世才为禁得最坚决。但真正彻底根除毒品是解放后的事情。
