In this paper, we propose and analyze a nonlinear mathematical model to study the effect of skill development on unemployment. We assume that government promulgates different levels of skill development programs for unemployed persons through which two different categories of skilled persons, namely, the low-skilled and the highly-skilled persons, are coming out and the highly-skilled persons are able to create vacancies. The model is studied using stability theory of nonlinear differential equations. We find analytically that there exists a unique positive equilibrium point of the proposed model system under some conditions. Also, the resulting equilibrium is locally as well as globally stable under certain conditions. The effective use of implemented policies to control unemployment by providing skills to unemployed persons and the new vacancies created by highly-skilled persons are identified by using optimal control analysis. Finally, numerical simulation is carried out to support analytical findings.

In this paper, the business cycle (BC) is described by a delayed time-fractional-order model (DTFOM) with a general liquidity preference function and an investment function. Firstly, the existence and uniqueness of the DTFOM solution are proven. Then, some conditions are presented to guarantee that the positive equilibrium point of DTFOM is locally stable. In addition, Hopf bifurcation is obtained by a new method, where the time delay is regarded as the bifurcation parameter. Finally, a numerical example of DTFOM is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and methods.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to present and analyze a market through a nonlinear deterministic model. A firm launches a new product and devotes a fixed proportion of sales to advertising, while customers go through a three stage adoption process with some delay on the effect of advertisement. The mathematical model is described by three nonlinear differential equations with time delay, where the word-of-mouth and advertising effectiveness are taken into account. The variables consist of the number of non-adopters (unaware of the existence of the product or the number of people who have not repurchased it), the number of thinkers (the number of people who know about the product, but they have not yet purchased it) and the number of adopters (the number of people who have purchased the product). The time delays are introduced in both purchase decisions of the thinkers and repurchase decisions of the adopters as well. The positive equilibrium point is determined and the conditions for the asymptotic stability are provided, when there is no delay. When the delay is taken as bifurcation parameter the conditions for the existence of a Hopf bifurcation are given. The critical value of the delay is found where the asymptotic stability is lost. Numerical simulations and conclusions can be found in the last part of the paper.

The present research article constitutes Holling type II and IV diseased prey predator ecosystem and classified into two categories namely susceptible and infected predators.We show that the system has a unique positive solution. The deterministic and stochastic nature of the dynamics of the system is investigated. We check the existence of all possible steady states with local stability. By using Routh-Hurwitz criterion we showed that the positive equilibrium point $E_{7}$ is locally asymptotically stable if $x^{*} > \sqrt{m_{1}}$ .Moreover condition of the global stability of positive equilibrium point $E_{7}$ are also entrenched with help of Lyupunov theorem. Some Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate our analytical findings.

The article proposes a conceptual model for improving the efficiency of project activities at the local level. The essence of project activity efficiency is determined and the basic approaches to the analysis of criteria and factors of project activity success in general are analyzed. The factors during the organization of group project activities are generalized and analyzed, including social-psychological, external-organizational factors and the level of readiness of territorial communities for project activities. It is determined that the level of readiness of territorial communities to carry out project activities is a set of motives, knowledge, skills, abilities, methods of project actions, personal qualities that ensure the successful interaction of its subjects. It is substantiated that the concept of the offered model consists in the most effective use of possibilities of group project activity for maintenance of qualitative formation of communicative competence of territorial communities, their personal and professional development. The key components of the proposed model are: conceptual-target, functional, structural, diagnostic. It is determined that the main purpose of the conceptual-target component is to form communicative competence, mastering the methods of solving problem-oriented tasks by means of project activities. The functional component of the model includes the identification of the entities on which the effectiveness of the project activity depends, and which carry out its evaluation. It was found that the structural component of the model contains the stages according to which project activities should be organized at the local level. The diagnostic component of the model contains criteria and indicators, levels, means of evaluating the effectiveness of project activities. Within this component, three levels of project activity efficiency (low, medium, high) are defined on the basis of taking into account the results achieved in the project activity process.

The effective use of an interactive whiteboard (IWB) in teacher-education institutions depends strongly on student teachers’ intention of using it. Despite the recent surge in published research on the widespread applications for IWB in teaching and learning, few have developed a model to elucidate the elements which contribute to student teachers’ intention to use IWB. The aim of this study was to develop a model which demonstrates the variables that affect student teachers’ intentions and which also explain their interactions. The proposed IWB intention to use research model is based on prominent educational technology acceptance theories and models. Five variables (technology self-efficacy, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and intention to use) were selected to build a model for this study. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used for this study to identify the predictors and the model fit. The proposed model has accounted for 47.6% of the variance in the intention to use IWB.

The latest technological advancements allow users to generate a large volume of data related to their experiences and needs. However, the absence of an advanced methodology that links the big data and the creative process prevents the effective use of the data and extracting all its potential and knowledge in this context, which is crucial in offering user-centred solutions. Incorporating data creatively and critically as design material can help us learn and understand user needs better. Therefore, design can bring deeper meaning to data, just as data can enhance design practice. Accordingly, this work raises a reflection on whether designers could appropriate the workflow of data science in order to integrate it into the research process in the creative process within a framework of user experience analysis. The proposed model: data-driven design model, enhances the exploratory design of problem space and assists in the creation of ideas during the conceptual design phase. In this way, this work offers an integrated vision, enhancing creativity in industrial design as an instrument for the achievement of the proper and necessary balance between intuition and reason, design, and science.

Neoclassical Growth

In this paper, we focus on the global dynamics of a neoclassical growth system incorporating patch structure and multiple pairs of time-varying delays. Firstly, we prove the global existence, positiveness and boundedness of solutions for the addressed system. Secondly, by employing some novel differential inequality analyses and the fluctuation lemma, both delay-independent and delay-dependent criteria are established to ensure that all solutions are convergent to the unique positive equilibrium point, which supplement and improve some existing results. Finally, some numerical examples are afforded to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the theoretical findings.

Professional Judgement

The depiction and description of body techniques of combat have always been a part of martial arts culture. For example, self-defence techniques of the Israeli system of Krav Maga have routinely been depicted and described in books. More recently, the dissemination of similar knowledge has been presented within emerging modern technologies such as online videos and blogs. We argue, however, that such approaches limit and may even harm the development of professional judgement and decision making of self-defence coaches. By focusing on (a) the distinction between declarative and procedural knowledge and (b) the complexity and non-linearity of self-defence situations, we point out the limitations of the depicted and described knowledge in these media (or channels) of communication. In essence, we argue that the focus on providing procedural knowledge to coaches promotes a view that self-defence skill development is linear. These foci ultimately will limit the adaptability of the coach in creating effective skill development programs for practitioners who need to be able to cope with complex dynamics of real world violence.

This paper proposes a realistic model of magnetizing branches for transient calculation of electric power circuits. The model represents the nonlinear relationship between flux linkage and exciting current of magnetizing branches with a major loop and a family of minor loop trajectories, which has the capability of simulating the multi-valued hysteresis behavior. By applying the proposed model to transient calculation, an efficient algorithm is developed for obtaining the transient responses in electric power circuits. In the algorithm, the electric power circuit is divided into the magnetizing branches and the remaining linear part. The nonlinear differential equations are set up for the magnetizing branches and solved by the semi-explicit Runge–Kutta method. The transient calculation for the remaining linear part is performed on the basis of the solution to the magnetizing branches. Then, a laboratory measurement is made with a reduced-scale experimental arrangement. The measured results are compared with the calculated ones and a reasonable agreement is shown between them.
