In a service-oriented networked manufacturing (SONM) environment, geographically distributed manufacturing resources are encapsulated as various manufacturing services. These manufacturing services release via the Internet and can provide services on the demand of manufacturing tasks. Usually one manufacturing task needs several different services belonged to different organizers to work together. Hence, effective cooperation among services is the foundation of the efficient operation of SONM. In this paper, a bipartite network model is presented to describe the relationship of two different kinds of nodes in SONM, and also is projected as a weighed network for further exploring the behaviors of service nodes. Furthermore, an agent-based model is built for modeling the interactive behaviors of service nodes in a cooperative network and an agent-based simulating system is developed with Repast. The simulation results show that the emergence of cooperative behaviors among service nodes is related to both the cost of cooperation and initial trust of services in the SONM environment.

In this study, we examine the relationship of bank level lending and borrowing decisions and the risk preferences on the dynamics of the interbank lending We develop an agent-based model that incorporates individual bank decisions using the temporal difference reinforcement learning algorithm with empirical data of 6600 S. banks. The model can successfully replicate the key characteristics of interbank lending and borrowing relationships documented in the recent literatur A key finding of this study is that risk preferences at individual bank level can lead to unique interbank market structures which are suggestive of the capacity that the market responds to surprising

This investigation was made to evaluate the health and well-being of workers who made activities in the manufacturing processes of an aerospace industry installed in the city of Mexicali and based on the evidence presented in certain stages of a production line. The cost-benefit of applying ergonomic methods was analyzed, developing a descriptive model, which involved important aspects. Said aspects analyzed were (1) work methods, (2) training of employees in the operational area, (3) evaluation of times and movements of industrial operations, and (4) working conditions as the relationship of workers with supervisors and managers.

This study aims to determine the effect of applying e-filing and knowledge of taxation on taxpayer compliance. Compliance costs as moderating variable that moderate relations between application e-filing and knowledge taxation on the taxpayer compliance. The population in this study is taxpayers in Padang city. The number off samples used was 100 respondents with the sampling method using purposive sampling. The data used in this study are primary data. Data collection techniques are done by questionnaire. The data analysis technique used is multiple regression and moderated regression analysis. The results obtained are the application of e-filing has a significant positive effect on taxpayer compliance, knowledge of taxation does not affect taxpayer compliance, compliance costs proved to moderate the relationship between the implementation of e-filing and taxpayer compliance, and the cost of compliance was not proven to moderate the knowledge relationship of taxation with taxpayer compliance

the main issue of the study is the problem of improving the efficiency of the housing sector. The current state system does not ensure the proper efficiency of the housing stock, which is increasingly manifested in the growing gap between the cost of operation of apartment buildings, aimed at ensuring the quality of their functioning and the real state of this quality. In recent years, numerous regulatory documents have been adopted to ensure the normal maintenance of buildings, but a comprehensive understanding of the relationship of various activities with technical and economic solutions, in most cases, has an empirical nature, not confirmed by a strict analytical justification. The purpose of the study is a systematic integrated approach to solving problems to improve the efficiency of maintenance of housing using the proposed mathematical apparatus, which allows you to objectively, fully and accurately assess the relationship of economic and technical indicators. All total socially significant economic indicators of operational measures can be the basis of legislative regulation in the industry. Conclusions: criteria for assessing the effective and safe operation of buildings, optimal for residents of apartment buildings and management companies serving these houses.

Sand-stabilization may exert enormous effects on plant abundance in interdune lowlands in the active sand dune fields. We investigated the plant abundance of 11 interdune lowlands in stabilized and active dunes, respectively, and analyzed the relationship of plant abundance and lowland area. 1) With the enlargement of lowland area, plant abundance of interdune lowlands in stabilized and active dune increased following logarithmic and power functions, respectively. When the area was the same, abundance of stabilized dunes was more than that of active dunes. 2) With the increasing of lowland area in stabilized and active dunes, psammophytes plant abundance relative to the overall plant abundance decreased exponentially. When the area was the same, the percentage in lowlands of active dunes was more than that of stabilized dunes. We concluded that the practice of sand-stabilization could improve plant abundance in interdune lowlands, however, which is at the cost of loss of psammophytes.

Globalization has placed modern organizations in tremendous competition locally and regionally across borders; thus, the ultimate goal of every organization is the same which is profitable survival. In order to make sure that this profitable survival goal does not come at the cost of harming others, guiding principles are needed to bring goodness and fairness for the stakeholders' interests. This paves the way for designing, implementing and adopting ethical principles in the organization to keep competition fair and just. This study has been carried out in three big cities (Peshawar, Lahore and Islamabad) of Pakistan to identify and assess the relationship of workplace ethics with age, qualification, management experience, government work experience and on-the-job ethics training. Collected data from 380 male and female Pakistani respondents were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical measures. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between ethical maturity of employees and such demographic variables as age, qualification, on-the-job ethics training, having had an ethics course, and years of management experience. However, government work experience did not demonstrate any significant results with ethical maturity. Implications and suggestions for management development and training are provided.
