The correlation analysis of the daily Covid-19 new cases data series in Albania

We analyzed herein the new covid-19 daily positive cases recorded in Albania. We observed that the distribution of the daily new cases is non-stationary and usually has a power law behavior in the low incidence zone, and a bell curve for the remaining part of the incidence interval. We qualified this finding as the indicator intensive dynamics and as proof that up now, the heard immunity has not been reached. By parallelizing the preferential attachment mechanisms responsible for a power law distribution in the social graphs elsewhere, we explain the low daily incidence distribution as result of the imprudent gatherings of peoples. Additionally, the bell-shaped distribution observed for the high daily new cases is agued as outcome of the competition between illness advances and restriction measures. The distribution is acceptably smooth, meaning that the management has been accommodated appropriately. This behavior is observed also for two neighbor countries Greece and Italy respectively, but was not observed for Turkey, Serbia, and North Macedonia. Next, we used the multifractal analysis to conclude about the features related with heterogeneity of the data. We have identified the local presence self-organization behavior in some separate time intervals. Formally and empirically we have identified that the full set of the data contain two regimes finalized already, followed by a third one which started in July 2021.

Understanding Professional Designers’ Knowledge Organization Behavior: A Case Study in Product Teardowns

Knowledge organization is an essential component of engineering design, and a deeper understanding of how designers organize knowledge could enable more effective insights in support of the design process. To explore this, we examine 23 professional designers’ knowledge organization practices as they virtually engage with data collected during a teardown of a consumer product. Designers organized this data by forming groups of related data, nesting subgroups of data within groups, and creating directional links between groups of data and individual data. Our results indicate three insights about how designers organize and acquire knowledge from product teardowns. First, we observe that while designers find grouping data to be more effective for learning, linking proved more helpful for knowledge transfer. Second, we find that designers employ links between data much more frequently than they do nests, and that links primarily serve to identify trade-offs, requirements, and opportunities for team collaboration. Finally, a graph analysis indicates that design features, product housing, cost, and manufacturing coexist as separate but central groups in designers’ knowledge organization, reflecting the diversity of perspectives on knowledge organization emergent in a constrained teardown activity. These findings provide insight into professional designers’ knowledge organization practices, and represent a preliminary step toward design knowledge bases that more accurately reflect designer behavior, ultimately enabling more effective data-driven support tools for design.

A Review: The Influence of Participation Budgeting Toward Organization Behavior Factors

One of the characteristics of a budget in order to function in the planning and control process is that it contains management commitment. The requirements that must be met in order to achieve managerial commitment are active participation of managers in the budget formulation process. Participation is in the form of opportunities to submit proposals as well as opportunities to negotiate in the ratification process. This study intends to examine the effect of budget participation on various factors in organizational behavior. Based on studies according to experts and previous researchers, budget participation affects various factors related to organizational behavior, including organizational commitment, work motivation and performance.

Barriers and Facilitators to COVID-19 screening at Jaipur International Airport, India.

Background:Airports pose a possible threat in facilitating global disease transmission within the community which may be prevented by rigorous systematic entry-exit screening. With the aim to capture the perception of stakeholders associated with COVID-19 on barriers and facilitators of airport screening at Jaipur International Airport. Also, to assess key outcomes viz. total passengers screened, suspected cases, & confirmed cases.Methods:An inductive-deductive mix-method thematic analysis was conducted to capture qualitative data of key stakeholders. Additionally, quantitative data was obtained from the Rajasthan Medical & Health Department team deployed for COVID-19 airport screening.Results:Jaipur International Airport screened 4565 passengers (Males=4073 and Females=492) with 23 suspected cases during an outlined period of declaration of Pandemic to Lockdown in India (11th to 24th March 2020). Total 65 passengers had travel history from China (3 from Wuhan). The mean average age of passengers was 40.95 ± 7.8 years. The average screening time per passenger was 2-3 minutes with a load of 25-90 passengers per team per flight. Fishbone analysis of screening challenges revealed poor cooperation of passengers, masking symptoms, apprehension, and stigma related to quarantine. Moreover, inadequate human resources and changing guidelines overburdened healthcare providers. But, perception of risk, and social responsibility of travelers together with supportive organization behavior act as facilitators. Overall, groundwork on airport screening was insightful to propose key action areas for screening.Conclusions:Globally, COVID-19 has an impact on health infrastructure and international travel. International coordination with streamlined screening will go a LONG way in virus containment.

Organization behavior control of spatial cluster-network integration of the oil and gas complex

The article presents, substantiates and tests the author's methodological tools based on a set of economic and mathematical models reflecting the processes of formation, development, state and organization behavior control of spatial cluster-network integration of the oil and gas complex. The object of the research is the interregional and intersectoral interactions of the oil and gas complex, considered by the example of the regions of the Volga Federal District of the Russian Federation. The authors understand spatial cluster-network integration as a production pool of mutually beneficial cooperative ties of autonomous business structures based on related interdependent types of economic activity and forming a common space of socio-economic interests regardless of industry and territorial affiliation. The organization behavior control of spatial cluster-network integration requires taking into account the interests of all interested stakeholders, which can be represented using the structural-functional model of the four-link spiral concept. This organization behavior control approach, based on the cluster-network nature of spatial integration, will strengthen territorial and sectoral relationships; a harmonized synthesis of disparate resource potentials will contribute to the rationalization of their use; form the competitive advantages of business structures, the region and the country as a whole.

Theory of Organizational Management

This chapter is about understanding general management's concept, based on its history and development; the meaning of management science, management process, and function of management; the definition of ethics in the context of hospitality; and the importance of corporate governance, and it identifies ethics' categories and values. Understanding the fundamental theories of organizational management and organization behavior and applying the best practices is conducive to effective management in guiding teams to successful accomplishments. Many of these theories were catalysts to the leadership approaches, which have shaped organizations over time. Modern organizations, especially hospitality organizations, can benefit from strategies that were formulated from organizational theories. A useful example is the development and application of ethics and ethical leadership within the domain of hospitality. Thus, understanding and applying management theories is crucial in the hyper-competitive hospitality industry.
