Concierge Medicine is a relatively new development in the U.S. Healthcare system and is designed and implemented, mostly by primary care physicians, to provide comprehensive care in a timely manner. Physicians often struggle with the decisions associated with adoption (implement or not), design (pricing and membership), and management (day-to-day execution) of these systems. The patients also struggle...
The problem of constraints and incentives to the financial human capital has been increasingly prominent. Within the theoretical frame of the pricing of the human capital and compensation in the financial sector, this paper analyses the mechanism of the executive compensation in China's bank sector. This paper selected some important indicators such as performance and corporate governance from 16...
For the low efficiency and high risk of real estate enterprises in China, we design incentives-supervision model of a real estate enterprise based on principal-agent theory and on some characteristics of the real estate enterprises. Subsequently, in order to improve business performance and lower the risks, we study that how the clients of the real estate enterprises design the compensation for agents...
With the popularity of social networks, data privacy preserving in social networks has become a hot issue among scholars. An attacker can use a variety of background knowledge to attack against privacy. Most of the present technology on anonymity weighted social network graphs can only deal with edge weight, but cannot be applied to sensitive labels. We consider a new generalization approach for sensitive...
English language proficiency continues to be considered essential for students who want to optimize their employment opportunities after graduation. In China, the College English Test (CET) is one of the most important exams, which measures students' level of English proficiency. This paper focuses on relations between College English Test results and graduates salaries. This was followed by the identification...
As a more flexible and effective access control mechanism in databases, fine-grained access control (FGAC) has drawn considerable attention from industrial and research community. While providing more effective protection for databases, FGAC also incurs new loopholes for attacks. When FGAC policies are defined inconsistently, performing UPDATE/DELETE operations might cause information inference, called...
This work presents the implementation of an agent based model concept to simulate a sample of the German society under a governmental social transfer system. Subsequently the behavior of the model is analyzed under changing conditions in order to proof that it can be used for the simulation of real societies under similar conditions. An important objective is to give evidence on economic interdependencies...
Although procedural and assisted content generation have attracted a lot of attention in both academic and industrial research in video games, there are few cases in the literature in which they have been applied to sport management games. The on-line variants of these games produce a lot of information concerning how the users interact with each other in the game. This contribution presents the application...
Indonesia's Directorate General of Higher Education (DIKTI) has had a concept of Faculty Workload (BKD) and faculty certification program. The implementation of the both program in our college, ITTelkom, is less effective and less able to substantially improve the performance of institutions in general and teachers in particular. The competency of human resources is the main issues being the major...
Engineering education has become a main attraction, contributing to the global industry revolution and in particular to Indian economy. The exponential growth in technical education has, however, not translated into any significant growth in the number of quality graduates acceptable to industry, due to insufficient availability of qualified faculty, teaching methodology, evaluation techniques and...
PEP-side caching is used in request-response access control mechanisms to increase the availability and reduce the processing overhead on PDP. Nonetheless, this paper shows that using this approach may open an insider threat port that can be used to bypass access control models in cloud and distributed relational databases. Moreover, the paper proposes a light model that detects and prevents the threat...
The concept of “team” was first proposed in 1994 by Stephen Robbins. With the fiercer global competition and the more refinement of work division within the organization, enterprises not only need work division, but also need cooperation. Now the concept of “teamwork” has swept the globe. Team building has penetrated into various fields, different professions and departments. Thus, it is an urgent...
With the development of China's market economy and the gradual disclosure of executive compensation data, the remuneration of the company's senior managers have become theoretical and practical issues of common concern. In this paper, based on the related theories and the data of listed logistics company in 2009, we do a quantitative study using regression analysis method. By analyzing EPS and ROE,...
As an important regulatory aspect of corporate governance, the increasing perks have become the focus of the enterprise. Much research has been done to study the problems of perks from different points, and this paper deals with how perks affect the corporate performance, concerning about the relationship among perks, research and development intensity and corporate performance, trying to explore...
As the most positive and active factors, people in airlines play a crucial role in aviation safety. A variety of violations caused by airline employees' negative or discontent mood may also lead to aviation safety accidents. On the basis of the literature review, the paper starts from pay satisfaction and divides it into five parts: pay system, pay structure, pay sense of fairness, intrinsic motivation...
The concept of bipolar linguistic summaries of data, introduced by Dziedzic, Zadrożny and Kacprzyk [1], is further developed. These summaries are meant as an extension of the “classical” linguistic summarization [2], [3], a human-consistent data mining technique, making it possible to express more complex patterns present in data. The focus of the paper is to provide a deeper insight into the very...
The reparation of failures should be done as fast as possible to minimize the impact to the users as well as any penalties agreed in the Service Level Agreement. However, in order to minimize costs, the number of technicians as well as their locations should be minimized to keep the Total Cost of Ownership low. This compromise between cost and time has been studied within an optimization problem and...
Power systems have been through deep changes in recent years, namely due to the operation of competitive electricity markets in the scope the increasingly intensive use of renewable energy sources and distributed generation. This requires new business models able to cope with the new opportunities that have emerged. Virtual Power Players (VPPs) are a new type of player that allows aggregating a diversity...
Web Services (WS) are software components accessible over the Internet through a well-defined set of standards. When consumers invoke a service, they expect to receive a valid response. However, the problem is to determine the structure of a valid request [21]. WS specifications are used to solve this problem since they are considered the primary piece of information for building service requests...
Multiple tools can assist developers when debugging programs, but only a few solutions specifically target the common case of regression failures, to provide a more focused and effective support to debugging. In this paper we present RADAR, a tool that combines change identification and dynamic analysis to automatically explain regression problems with a list of suspicious differences in the behavior...
