Abstract Background: Trauma is a major cause of death worldwide, especially in developing countries. The increasing cost of health care and the differences in the quality of provided services indicates the need to assess trauma care. This study aimed to develop and use a performance assessment model for in-hospital trauma care with a focus on traffic injures.Methods: This multi-method study was conducted in three main phases of indicators determination, model development, and model application. Trauma care performance indicators were extracted through literature review and were confirmed using a two-round Delphi survey and experts’ perspective. Two focus group discussions and 16 semi-structured interviews were held to design the initial model. In the next step, components and final form of the model were confirmed following pre-determined factors including importance and necessity, simplicity, clarity, and relevance. Finally, the model was tested by applying it in a trauma center. Results: A total of 50 trauma care indicators were approved after reviewing the literature and obtaining the experts' views. The final model consisted of six components of assessment level, teams, methods, scheduling, frequency, and data source. The model application revealed problems of a selected trauma center in terms of information recording, patient deposition, some clinical services, waiting time for depositing, recording of medical errors and complications, patient follow-up, and patient satisfaction.Conclusion: Performance assessment with an appropriate model can identify deficiencies and failures of provided services in trauma centers. Understanding the current situation is one of the main requirements for designing any quality improvement programs.

Heritage Buildings

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to focus on the evaluation of heritage buildings' sustainability. BIM modeling was necessary for the design of the sustainability assessment model for Heritage Buildings (SAHB). Using ArchiCAD®, energy simulations were performed for two case studies (Murabba Palace, Saudi Arabia, and Grey Nuns Building, Canada), and the developed model was validated through sensitivity analysis.Design/methodology/approachHeritage buildings (HBs) are unique and must be preserved for future generations. This article focuses on a sustainability assessment model and rating scale for heritage buildings in light of the need for their conservation. Regional variations were considered in the model development to identify critical attributes whose corresponding weights were then determined by fuzzy logic. Data was collected via questionnaires completed by Saudi Arabian and Canadian experts, and Fuzzy TOPSIS was also applied to eliminate the uncertainties present when human opinions are involved.FindingsResults showed that regional variations were sufficiently addressed through the multi-level weight consideration in the proposed model. Comparing the nine identified factors that affect the sustainability of HBs, energy and indoor environmental quality were of equal weight in both case studies.Originality/valueThis study will be helpful for the design of a globally applicable sustainability assessment model for HBs. It will also enable decision-makers to prepare maintenance plans for HBs.

The work is devoted to the consideration of the approach to effectiveness increase in socialeconomic system operation through the fuzzy model development for the supplier choice of commoditymaterial stocks in logistic companies. The problem urgency is conditioned on the system approach absence in the overwhelming majority of companies to the formation of procurement logistics strategy which makes difficulties in the process rapid management and charges efficient control. The theory of fuzzy sets is a methodological ba-sis of the work. The model developed has a practical value for the leadership of logistics companies.

This research aims to develop an early childhood character education assessment model. The research method used is the R & D model developed by Borg & Gall. The implementation of this model development was carried out in 6 stages, namely information gathering, planning, model development, initial product testing, product revision, and main field test. The instrument had developed by the procedure and criteria for item validity and instrument reliability. The first phase of the trial was conducted in Taman Indria Kindergarten, Pare District. The second phase of the trial was conducted at Tauladan Kindergarten and Dharma Wanita Pelem Kindergarten in Pare District. Data from the trial and main field tests were analyzed using factor analysis. The results of this study are as follows: 1) there are 18 character values with 65 indicators indicating that all indicators contribute effectively to the factors in each character value variable, 2) almost all indicators in each character value are strongly and significantly correlated with other indicators so that the assessment model that has been developed can assess all values of character education that have been taught for one semester, 3) according to the results of the questionnaire that has been analyzed it can be concluded that the use of early childhood character education assessment models is very effective to be applied in Kindergarten child.

For Profit

As the non-profit sector becomes increasingly dependent on projects to achieve its strategic goals, the use of formal project management processes can help to demonstrate to stakeholders that an organisation is taking steps to improve its performance. However the adoption of processes drawn from the for-profit sector does not always yield the desired results. In particular existing performance management systems and quality management systems are unsuitable for the implementation, measurement, and improvement of project management practices in the sector. A new model is therefore proposed for non-profit project management performance assessment. This is based on a conceptual analysis of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) business excellence model, a project management performance assessment model used primarily in for-profit environments, and an assessment of criteria particular to non-profit organisations. The model is multi-dimensional, flexible, and accounts for multiple stakeholder views. After using it, non-profit organisations can reflect on their performance, create an improvement plan, and use the model again to test their progress.
