Postclassification Comparison (PCC) has been widely used as a change-detection method. The PCC algorithm is straightforward and easily applicable to all satellite images, regardless of whether they are acquired from the same sensor or in the same environmental conditions. However, PCC is prone to cumulative error, which results from classification errors. Alternatively, Change Vector Analysis in Posterior Probability Space (CVAPS), which interprets change based on comparing the posterior probability vectors of a pixel, can alleviate the classification error accumulation present in PCC. CVAPS identifies the type of change based on the direction of a change vector. However, a change vector can be translated to a new position within the feature space; consequently, it is not inconceivable that identical measures of direction may be used by CVAPS to describe multiple types of change. Our proposed method identifies land-cover transitions by using a fusion of CVAPS and PCC. In the proposed algorithm, contrary to CVAPS, a threshold does not need to be specified in order to extract change. Moreover, the proposed method uses a Random Forest as a trainable fusion method in order to obtain a change map directly in a feature space which is obtained from CVAPS and PCC. In other words, there is no need to specify a threshold to obtain a change map through the CVAPS method and then combine it with the change map obtained from the PCC method. This is an advantage over other change-detection methods focused on fusing multiple change-detection approaches. In addition, the proposed method identifies different types of land-cover transitions, based on the fusion of CVAPS and PCC, to improve the results of change-type determination. The proposed method is applied to images acquired by Landsat and Quickbird. The resultant maps confirm the utility of the proposed method as a change-detection/labeling tool. For example, the new method has an overall accuracy and a kappa coefficient relative improvement of 7% and 9%, respectively, on average, over CVAPS and PCC in determining different types of change.

Types Of Change

The different change patterns are all based on the principles of underlying of various models of change, used to assess the existing trends in institutions and determine those that need to change, and also their organizational response to organizational pressures,. The organizations find it difficult to contribute to comprehensive development, or to face the challenges of the future through its models and traditional patterns, where many of the features that stress the inappropriateness of these current patterns and receiving non-compliance with the requirements of the change implementation. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the theoretical backgrounds of the research issue relating to patterns of change. This paper explores the contradictions and differences across the organizations in terms of managing their organizational change, and also explores some of the implications of different types of change for change management practice.

This chapter confronts the two principal arguments levelled against the child-as-innovator approach to language change: (1) child innovations cannot underlie historical innovations because child innovations resolve before adulthood, when they could diffuse (e.g. Traugott and Dasher 2005; Diessel 2011), and (2) parallels must hold between child innovations and historical innovations, but parallels do not hold in the domain of morphosyntax (e.g. Diessel 2012). I argue that both parallel and oppositional alignments are predicted by the two possible innovation-types children make when solving the Mapping Problem (Clark 1977, 1993, i.a.); in short, different L1A processes underlie different types of change. I further argue that input-divergent analyses at most need to persist into the teenage years, when they can be diffused via the sociolinguistic change powerhouse of teenage peer groups (e.g. Labov 2012), and may also be reinforced and prolonged in childhood via peer-to-peer acquisition and bilingualism contexts.

This article argues that the capacity to create the large system change needed to deal with “grand challenges” like the Sustainable Development Goals, sustainability, or climate change can be enhanced by understanding and applying a core set of principles, drawn from multiple sources and levels of analysis that have explored the question of “what gives life.” These sources all—albeit in different ways—apply the question, what “gives life” to different types of systems, and how this relates to the (so far as we know) uniquely human capacity for reflection. We identify six principles that “give life” to systems—intentional generativity, permeable containment, emerging novelty, contextual interconnectedness and requisite diversity, mutually enhancing wholeness, and proprioceptive consciousness—then provide guidance for change agents and scholars, as well as an illustrative example of the principles in action. These six principles provide a foundation for thinking about how to create flourishing human systems in organizations, social change, and global sustainability transformation.

The microstructure evolution of copper multicrystalline sheets, undergoing plastic deformation in the sequences of strain paths rolling – tension and tension – rolling, was studied in the present work. For both sequences, two different types of change of strain path were studied: the tensile and rolling directions were parallel and normal to each other. Samples submitted to these four complex strain paths were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM observations have shown the typical dislocations microstructures for the prestrain paths in tension and rolling. The dislocation microstructures observed during the second path were analysed and discussed as a function of the sequence and of the type of strain path change (parallel and normal sequential paths). Special microbands features were observed during the second path, for both sequences, rolling – tension and tension – rolling. The appearance of such microstructural features is discussed in terms of the sequence and type of strain path change and it is linked with the slip activity during the second deformation mode.

Organizational change ends things while it creates new openings. This conclusive aspect of change tends to be underappreciated by both change agents and academics. We integrate streams of literature to answer four questions. First, we ask where and when conclusive change happens in organizations: what are its representative contexts? Then we ask what conclusive change is: what other types of change are there and how do conclusions fit in? Our third question is why conclusive change remains underappreciated. Bringing insight together from the three previous questions, we conclude the paper by asking how change agents should approach conclusive change.
