Abstract Twenty predictions about the future of residential services to the mentally retarded are presented. These changes imply: (1) an entirely new model of residential services; (2) increasing continuity between residential and nonresidential services; and (3) increasing acceptance of cost-benefit rationales in the decision to offer residential or other services.

A new mathematical model for representing the geometric variations of lines is extended to include probabilistic representations of 1-D clearance which arise from multidimensional variations of an axis, a hole and a pin-hole assembly. The model is compatible with the ASME/ANSI/ISO Standards for geometric tolerances. Central to the new model is a Tolerance-Map (T-Map), a hypothetical volume of points that models the 3-D variations in location and orientation for a segment of a line (the axis), which can arise from tolerances on size, position, orientation, and form. Here it is extended to model the increase in yield that occurs when maximum material condition (MMC) is specified. The frequency distribution of 1-D clearance is decomposed into manufacturing bias, i.e. toward certain regions of a Tolerance-Map, and into a geometric bias that can be computed from the geometry of multidimensional T-Maps. Although the probabilistic representation in this paper is focused on geometric bias and manufacturing bias is presumed to be uniform, the method is robust enough to include manufacturing bias in the future. Geometric bias alone shows a greater likelihood of small clearances than large clearances between an assembled pin and hole.

1.1. In this note it is argued that models of the gilt-edged market which are based on yield curves are unnecessarily restrictive and should not be expected to give a satisfactory statistical ‘fit’ in current conditions. The new model which is formulated relates market prices directly to the life and coupon without diverting into the computation of redemption yields. Indeed, it is suggested that the yield calculation destroys the inherent simplicity of the underlying equations—which follow from a simple assumption concerning the return from different portfolios. The method avoids the inconsistency inherent in the conventional analysis of discounting future investment proceeds at a uniform rate of interest when the yield curve itself implies that interest rates will vary in the future.

>> See video of presentation (27 min.) The Research Council of Norway has recently revised its policy on Open Access and has decided to follow up the policy by implementing a new model for financing APCs. The new financing scheme, called STIM-OA, is directed towards the already existing publication funds at the Norwegian research institutions. The funds will from 2015 be able to apply STIM-OA for up to 50 % of their OA-expenses the previous year. STIM-OA will make a substantial contribution to the publication funds. Furthermore the scheme aims at structuring the financial and administrative handling of APCs at the institutional level. The goal of STIM-OA is to contribute financially in a transitional period, but in the future the Research Council expects to finance APCs as normal indirect cost for the research institutions, the same way as subscription fees are handled today.

The advent of digital systems for the production and transmission of information decisively influences human progress and represents the future in any field of social life. In order to survive, organizations must correlate the objectives to the new trend of the society based on information, deeply marked by globalization. In recent years new computational paradigm were proposed and adopted. These include Cloud computing. Together with the stabilization of technologies related to Cloud computing, SQL databases have become more attractive due to native support for scalability and distributed architecture and the fact that many of these can be offered as services. The paper presents a few important aspects about cloud computing and proposed a new database designed to be implemented in cloud.  We offer a new model and an example of implementing in Romanian medicine[1]. [1] This is an extended paper of the article presented at The 15th International Conference on Informatics in Economy, Cluj-Napoca, 2016.

E-Banking is an inevitable trend of banking industry in the future, it brings about benefits not only for the banks but also for customers. The studies showed that, different patterns of EBanking is essential to match specific countries and the popularity of E-Banking products to customers. This study proposes a new model that is the adoption and usage of E-Banking in Vietnam (E-BAM, EBanking Adoption Model). Research results showed that all hypothesis of E-BAM would be accepted. EBAM explained the data reasonably well, with 57% of the total variance in the adoption and usage of EBanking.

Introduction. The authors of the article, based on numerous studies on the transformation of the education system, offer a practical model of education, developed with reference to a view of education from a constructed image of the future, as well as to global trends. The essential basis of the model are productive processes of education and social engineering, as well as the folding of the ecosystem with the value-normative basis for matching the educational needs of different stakeholders of educational activities. The relevance of the article is determined by the need to respond to the discrepancy with the world trends of the education system, formed to ensure the reproduction of existing cultural norms and socio-productive relations in society in order to maintain its stability. The aim of the study is to develop an educational model, the key form of organization of which is the educational ecosystem. The model content is formed as a reflection of the process of strategizing based on the fundamental development trends. Materials and Methods. Using analysis and synthesis methods, groups of topical world trends are identified and their impact on the projected image of education is shown. Methods of focus groups and case studies are utilized to study advanced educational practices. Hypotheses on the projected educational model are generalized and advanced. The hypotheses are tested. The elements of the new model of education proposed by the authors are tested. Results. The authors substantiated the concept of a new model of education as a result of value and semantic bases of strategy of consent of different social groups participating in the process of education. Methodological approach to education development strategy as if looking from the future differs from the dominant methodological method of future formation by means of its present modification and reworking. The authorʼs concept of the model of education from the future rests on the value and meaning foundation, which distinguishes it from the dominant position associated with the justification of only requirements to learning outcomes and content of education. The new vision of “education from the future” will contribute to the successful implementation of practices of transformation of education taking into account global trends based on the vision of education from the future, namely, a collective-wanted image of the future, rather than a continued “reworkedˮ present. Discussion and Conclusion. This article is useful for organizers of changes in educational systems at different levels (region, city, secondary school), as well as for researchers in the field of modern models, approaches and educational technologies that arise under the influence of global trends.
