Achieving Business Benefits From ERP Systems
(IGI Global, 2008) Mishra, A.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are becoming popular in medium and large-scale organizations all over the world. As companies have to collaborate across borders, languages, cultures, and integrate business processes, ERPs will need to take globalization into account, be based on a global architecture, and support the features required to bring all the worldwide players and processes together. Due to the high cost of implementation for these systems, organizations all over the world are interested in evaluating their benefits in the short and long terms. This chapter discusses various kinds of business benefits in a comprehensive way in order to justify the acquisition and implementation of ERP systems in organizations in the present global context. © 2008, IGI Global.
Analytic Hierarchy Process in Determining Aircraft Basic Maintenance Training Durations
(Emerald Publishing, 2025) Açıkel, Gürkan; Alemdaroğlu Temel, Mine
Purpose – Currently, in aircraft basic maintenance training, it is determined that various aircraft basic maintenance training organizations around the world apply different basic maintenance durations for the same modules of the same licence categories. Aircraft basic maintenance training organizations are lacking a common curriculum with standard durations for the basic maintenance training modules. To remedy the problems associated with this issue, the purpose of this study is to develop and demonstrate a quantifiable reference (i.e. theoretical training and evaluation content intensity) based scientific theoretical method to determine the durations of the basic theoretical maintenance trainings held for B1.1 and B2 licence categories in aircraft basic maintenance training organizations. Design/methodology/approach – The total basic maintenance training duration was first allocated to basic, theoretical and practical maintenance trainings. The obtained basic theoretical maintenance training duration was then allocated to related modules and submodules by using weighted theoretical training content intensity and weighted theoretical evaluation content intensity, which were obtained by applying a multi-criteria decision-making approach using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Findings – In this study, it was found that there is no standardization upon aircraft basic maintenance training organizations for the allocation of the basic maintenance training durations to modules. To remedy this problem, a scientific method, which relies on quantifiable reference bases rather than subjective reasoning, is needed. The reference bases of the proposed theoretical method (i.e. theoretical training and evaluation content intensity) can be tuned with the inclusion of the effect of basic knowledge requirements through multi-criteria decision-making (AHP). The theoretical method proposed in this work is robust in terms of resulting in close proximity values of the basic theoretical maintenance training durations for the common modules of B1.1 and B2 licence categories. The theoretical method is proven to yield greater basic theoretical maintenance training durations for modules having greater theoretical training and evaluation content intensity and lower basic theoretical maintenance training durations for modules having less theoretical training and evaluation content intensity. A distinct similarity in terms of basic theoretical maintenance training durations and the ranking of the modules (in terms of durations) is not present when the average of the training organizations is compared to the results of the theoretical method. A quantifiable reference (i.e. theoretical training and evaluation content intensity) based scientific theoretical method to determine basic theoretical maintenance training durations was developed and demonstrated. Practical implications – Results of this study would especially be useful in an international effort to standardize the different basic theoretical maintenance training durations applied in various aircraft basic maintenance training organizations. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first in providing and demonstrating a scientific theoretical method based on a systematic, multi-criteria decision-making approach to determine the durations of the basic theoretical maintenance trainings. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
Applying Asymmetric Theory to Optimise Instructional, Assessment, and Administrative Designs of Intensive English Programmes
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025) Sahin, A.
Asymmetric Theory emphasizes optimisation, efficiency, and economy by harnessing the transformative power of asymmetry. It offers practical and functional solutions to some complex daily and scientific problems through the application of multilayered asymmetric thinking. The process begins with the careful identification of the most dominant factors influencing the success of the solutions to the problems, ultimately leading to the creation of a main key to successand sub keys to success attached to it. The key tosuccess serves as a guide for its creator as it highlights which factors should be controlled and which should be prioritised over the others. As a result, Asymmetric Theory introduces a structured strategy-oriented approach to problem-solving. This chapter begins by highlighting the importance of Intensive English Programmes (IEPs) for English-medium universities. Then, it introduces the core principles of Asymmetric Theory. Building on these principles, a main key to success is created for the programme development challenge of IEPs followed by the creation of sub keys for optimising their instructional, assessment, and administrative designs. These steps are demonstrated using a think-aloud protocol. Ultimately, this chapter presents how the instructional, assessment, and administrative designs of an educational programme can be effectively optimised through the lens of Asymmetric Theory using IEPs as a comprehensive example. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Comparative Analysis Of Patch Antennas With Rectangular Slots For Laminate And Wearable Materials At 5g Networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Hakanoglu, B.G.; Agaya, E.; Gulmez, G.; Yalinsu, S.
In this study, new multi-band patch antenna design models are proposed for use in 5G networks. The purpose of the designs is to open rectangular slots on rectangular shaped patch antennas and bring them to the desired operating conditions with parametric analyzes. The designs were carried out by following the same procedure steps using five different dielectric laminate substrate materials, such as RO3003, RT6006, FR4, RO3203, RO6010, and one denim fabric base material. The antennas were compared in terms of return loss, gain and radiation characteristics. Except for the antenna designed with RO3203 at certain values of rectangular slots, radiation at multiple frequencies was obtained at 5G frequencies. With the proposed method, improvement was observed for return loss and bandwidth characteristics in the RO3203 based antenna. This study will be a resource for antenna researchers by revealing the responses of different substrate materials to the same design method for 5G bands in patch antennas. © 2024 IEEE.

A computer-controlled triaxial swelling test apparatus
(2004) Bilir,M.E.; Müftüoǧlu,Y.V.; Sari,D.
To avoid the problems encountered during and after the construction of engineering structures built within swelling rocks or soils, data related to swelling stresses and strains should be used in the design stage. For an effective design, it is important that the data used for this purpose should be derived from triaxial swelling tests. In this article, a re-designed and computer-controlled triaxial swelling test apparatus is introduced. Due to the limited amount of test equipment, the work associated with triaxial swelling tests has been rather limited and consequently a test standard has not been developed yet. The computer-controlled triaxial swelling test apparatus has made tedious swelling tests easier and thus it has provided better possibilities for the investigation of the triaxial swelling behavior of soils and rocks.

Creep and shrinkage behavior of high-strength concrete and minimum reinforcement ratio for bridge columns
(Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2010) Mertol,H.C.; Rizkalla,S.; Zia,P.; Mirmiran,A.
This paper summarizes the findings of an extensive research program that examined the shrinkage and creep behavior of high-strength concrete (HSC) up to a strength of 18 ksi (124 MPa). Creep and shrinkage strains of 60 specimens were monitored for up to two years. The variables considered in this investigation were the concrete compressive strength, specimen size, curing type, age of concrete at loading, and loading stress level. Research findings indicate that the current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications could be used to estimate the creep coefficient and shrinkage strain of HSC up to 15 ksi (103 MPa). However, the current AASHTO LRFD specifications do not provide appropriate predictions for concrete compressive strength greater than 15 ksi (103 MPa). A revised time-development correction factor is proposed to obtain better predictions for HSC up to 18 ksi (124 MPa). For HSC compression members, the current AASHTO LRFD specifications require an excessive amount of minimum longitudinal reinforcement to account for the long-term effects due to shrinkage and creep. Based on an analysis, a new relationship is proposed for the required minimum reinforcement ratio.
Developing Proactive Behavior in the Context of Conflict Management
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025) Tosun, B.; Khan, M.
Conflict is a pervasive and complex aspect of organizational life that can significantly impact employee morale, productivity, and the work environment. As managers spend a significant portion of their time dealing with routine complaints, hiring and retrenchment decisions, and the pressures imposed by a fast-paced, highly competitive marketplace, it is crucial to develop proactive behavior to identify and resolve conflicts before they escalate. While conflict has been studied primarily in the fields of business, sociology, and psychology, the definition of conflict remains elusive, given its wide range of concepts. This study seeks to shed light on the multifaceted nature of conflict and the role of proactive behavior in preventing and managing conflicts. The study evaluated the precursors of proactivity in terms of personality and behavior, different types of conflict, conflict management, and resolution approaches, and the potential negative consequences of excessive proactivity without sufficient situational judgement effectiveness. Ultimately, the article provides valuable insights into the benefits and potential drawbacks of proactive behavior in preventing and managing conflicts in the workplace. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

E-HRM Challenges and Opportunities
(IGI Global, 2008) Mishra, Alok
HR executives are looking to technology and the information it provides to help them drive decisions that will lead to success of the organization as a whole (Wilcox, 1997). Snell, Stueber, and Lepak (2002) observe that HR can meet the challenge of simultaneously becoming more strategic, flexible, cost-efficient, and customer-oriented by leveraging information technology (IT). They point out that IT has the potential to lower administrative costs, increase productivity, speed response times, improve decision-making, and enhance customer service all at the same time. The need for cost reduction, higher quality services, and cultural change are the three main forces that drive firms to seek IT-driven HR solutions (Yeung & Brockbank, 1995). The rapid development of the Internet during the last decade has boosted the implementation and application of electronic human resource management (e-HRM) (Strohmeier, 2007). According to Strohmeier (2007) e-HRM is the (planning, implementation and) application of information technology for both networking and supporting at least two individual or collective actors in their shared performing of HR activities. Virtual HR is emerging due to the growing sophistication of IT and increased external structural options (Lepak & Snell, 1998). Surveys of HR consultants suggest that both the number of organizations adopting e-HRM and the depth of applications within the organizations are continually increasing (CedarCrestone, 2005). IT is beginning to enable organizations to deliver state-of the- art HR services. Many experts forecast that the PC will become the central tool for all HR professionals (Kovach & Cathcart, 1999). © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
Earthquake Response Framework With IoT-Based E-Government Services
(Modestum, 2026) Mishra, A.; Alzoubi, Y.I.; Ibrahim, T.
Earthquakes present a genuine threat to both lives and property, necessitating the minimization of their impact wherever possible. This is especially critical in countries like Iraq, which suffer from inadequate infrastructure. Consequently, this study developed a framework aimed at bolstering Iraq’s current disaster management system to respond to earthquakes. The designation of this system stems from its integration of information and communication technology principles alongside the Internet of things (IoT). The framework’s development was built based on related literature and data collected from websites related to disaster management, including the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Communication. The resultant framework was constructed utilizing unified modeling language diagrams, including both use-case and activity diagrams. This endeavor represents one of the few initiatives undertaken in the context of Iraq. Future research endeavors focusing on disaster planning in Iraq and similar contexts may utilize the findings of this study as a foundational resource. © 2026 by Author/s and Licensed by Modestum DOO, Serbia.
