The objective of this paper was to propose a methodological process for the design of frameworks oriented to infotainment user interfaces. Four stages comprise the proposed process, conceptualization, structuring, documentation, and evaluation; in addition, these stages include activities, tasks, and deliverables to guide a work team during the design of a framework. To determine the stages and their components, an analysis of 42 papers was carried out through a systematic literature review in search of similarities during the design process of frameworks related to user interfaces. The evaluation method by a panel of experts was used to determine the validity of the proposal; the conceptual proposal was provided to a panel of 10 experts for their analysis and later a questionnaire in the form of a Likert scale was used to collect the information on the validation of the proposal. The results of the evaluation indicated that the methodological process is valid to meet the objective of designing a framework oriented to infotainment user interfaces.

The article explores the problem of selecting performance criteria for evaluating waste collection and transportation system. The paper deals with the participants and processes involved in the before introduced processes. A literature review of criteria used for service evaluation is presented. The standards of selecting stages are identified. According to the specificity and complex­ity of the tested system, the complexity of the criteria for the diversity of different dimensions to evaluate similar system requires the evaluation method that allows assessing different dimensions of the factors. Santrauka Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjama viena iš atliekų tvarkymo sistemos fazių – atliekų surinkimas ir vežimas. Tyrime keliama atliekų surinkimo ir vežimo sistemos efektyvumo vertinimo – kriterijų nustatymo – problema. Straipsnyje analizuoja­mi atliekų surinkimo ir vežimo sistemą, jos dalyvius ir procesus nagrinėjantys moksliniai darbai ir jų potencialas. Nagrinėjami mokslinėje literatūroje minimi kriterijai, skirti sistemai ar tam tikrai jos daliai apibūdinti. Įvardinti pagrindiniai kriterijų nustaty­mo etapai; tuo vadovaujantis nustatyti atliekų surinkimo ir vežimo sistemos efektyvumą apibūdinantys kriterijai. Atsižvelgiant į tiriamos sistemos specifiką: sudėtingumą, kompleksinio vertinimo poreikį, naudojamų kriterijų sistemai apibūdinti įvairovę, nustatyta, kad šioms fazėms būdingi skirtingų dimensijų rodikliai. Konstatuota, kad sistemos efektyvumui įvertinti būtina tai­kyti metodus, kurie leidžia apibūdinti skirtingų dimensijų veiksnius.

Benchmarking is an effective method for organizations to increase their productivity, quality of products, reliability of processes or services. The organization may make a comparison between its performance and that of the peers from benchmarking, and recognize their advantages as well as disadvantages. The main objective of the present systematic literature review has been the study of DEA benchmarking process. Therefore, it examined and gave a summary of various DEA models applied worldwide to improve benchmarking. Accordingly, a list of published academic papers that appeared in high-ranking journals between 2003 and February 2020 was collected for a systematic review of the DEA benchmarking application. Consequently, the papers selected have been classified according to year of publication, purpose of research, outcomes and results. This study has identified eight major applications including: transportation, service sector, product planning, maintenance, hotel industry, education, distribution and environmental factors. They take up a total of 82% of all application-embedded papers. Among all the applications, the highest recent development has been in both the transportation and service sectors. Results showed higher potential of DEA as a suitable evaluation method for the further benchmarking researches, wherein the production feature between outputs and inputs has been practically lacked or very hard to obtain.

PURPOSE: to present a proposal of a surface electromyography evaluation method for cervical muscles specific and detailed protocol, with a standardized collection method of electrical signal in these muscles. METHODS: the researchers took as reference the existing publications about this subject which evidenced a need for standardization, clarity, better reproducibility and greater specificity for the surface electromyography evaluation of the upper trapezium and sternocleidomastoid muscles fibers. The proposal preparation process for the current protocol included the cleaning of the target area, placing the electrodes, required tasks in order to collect and register the electrical signal and interpretation of the electromyography signal parameters. This evaluation method was carried out in 24 healthy volunteers of both genders, with an average age of 26 years. We used the electromyography Miotool 400 with 4 channels. RESULT: an evaluation surface electromyography method for upper trapezium and sternocleidomastoid muscles fibers was developed and tested in order to determine the best form of electrical signal data collection for these muscles. CONCLUSION: we submitted a protocol proposal to evaluate the cervical muscles by a surface electromyography, allowing the healthy professionals and researchers to get more information about this electrical potential evaluation method for the sternocleidomastoid and the upper trapezium muscles fibers. This knowledge will be an adjuvant in a more specific therapy.

This paper outlines a method for evaluating environmental assessment (EA) systems called the environmental assessment system evaluation method. The method consists of five steps: (1) develop an initial list of good practices based on a literature review; (2) validate and adjust the practices by surveying experts and stakeholders; (3) describe the EA system; (4) use the good practices to evaluate the EA system through surveying EA participants and reviewing relevant documentation; and (5) identify changes to address deficiencies. The method provides a comprehensive and transparent evaluation that identifies strengths and weaknesses and means of improvement. The evaluation method is tested by applying it in a case study evaluation of the EA system for bitumen development in Canada.
