Development Of Integrated Model Research Articles

ТЕОРЕТИЧЕСКИЕ МОДЕЛИ АНАЛИЗА ЭКОЛОГО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО РАЗВИТИЯ

The article deals with the currently important problem of the influence of the effects of economic development on the environment. The purpose of the article is to analyze the impact of these effects, to develop an integrated model of ecological and economic development, which is based on the generalization of the already studied approaches and a broader presentation of information on the parameters of sustainable development. The object of research is the processes that help to achieve sustainable development. For the methodological support of the research, the created theoretical model of the analysis of ecological and economic development was used. The model allows determining the possibilities of achieving the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). In order to take into account the processes of accumulation and absorption of various greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, an approach to estimation the accumulated amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere was proposed in the form of an integrated model. This model takes into account oceanic and biospheric absorption of hydrocarbon emissions from human activities. The article defines the ways to achieve the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) as a condition for achieving sustainable development. It was found that a sufficient condition, which should ensure the absence of deterioration of sustainable development, is the transition through the point of maximum level of environmental pollution. This point describes emissions of pollution, taking into account the effect of accumulation of environmental pollution, which begins to manifest itself after exceeding the assimilation capabilities of nature. At the same time, during economic recovery, the impact of losses from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is not as noticeable as during economic recessions. Therefore, overcoming the constant increase in pollution concentration will require a significant increase in the environmental efficiency of the economy and coordination of actions between countries in the long term. Based on this, the practical significance of the article lies in finding new ways to achieve sustainable development.

Alignment between theory and practice in group development processes in the workplace: an experiential perspective

ABSTRACTThe study examined the alignment between group processes theory and practice from an experiential perspective in a South African work context. Training and development programmes focus on groups and teams to improve performance. The perspective of this study was that training and development programmes should develop teams within a life paradigm. Participants were 13 university graduates who held various positions in organisations. All participants were recruited from Johannesburg, were female and ages ranged from 24 to 31 years. A questionnaire developed for this study based on Wheelan`s integrative model of group development was used to collect information from participants. The snowballing method was used to access participants. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse data. The results revealed that theory was aligned to group training experience in organisations. Future studies could assess team-building initiatives and effectiveness at each stage of group development.

Integrated Model Development in Information Technology Adoption

Electronic services have become an important part in the implementation of electronic governance. Government electronic services are an important tool for effective cooperation in any country between government, authorities, citizens, organizations, and so on. The purpose of this research is to identify and collect, analyze and compile various factors that influence the implementation process of electronic government services. The use of e-government is very dependent on how the user, trust in using and adopting the service. Some barriers to adopting e-government services such as lack of trust are considered as one of the main obstacles. In addition, citizens ‘trust in e-government and social influence were found to be significant predictors of citizens’ behavioral intentions to use e-government services. This study contributes by providing a conceptual model that is useful for studying citizen trust and the behavior of using e-government services in Indonesia.

Integrated model of religious tourism in underdeveloped destinations

The development of religious tourism in underdeveloped destinations is a quite complex, demanding, and challenging process. This study aims to address the issues related to the management of religious tourism destination and therefore contribute to establishing the professional management structure within the Old Royal Capital of Cetinje as a religious tourism destination. In order to facilitate future planning and organization inside and outside the destination, an integrated model of religious tourism development that can be applied in all the destinations in an early stage of their development or in undeveloped destinations is proposed. For the purpose of this paper, the attitudes of local people regarding the current development of religious tourism in the area of Cetinje (Montenegro) were explored. The total number of 161 residents was examined using a questionnaire method. The research results show that religious tourism is not well-developed in this area and therefore it is necessary to define precise instructions for developing a tourism product of this type. Based on the research findings, mission, vision, and strategic goals for the sustainable development of religious tourism in Cetinje were defined.

VIOLA-A Multi-Purpose and Web-Based Visualization Tool for Neuronal-Network Simulation Output.

Neuronal network models and corresponding computer simulations are invaluable tools to aid the interpretation of the relationship between neuron properties, connectivity, and measured activity in cortical tissue. Spatiotemporal patterns of activity propagating across the cortical surface as observed experimentally can for example be described by neuronal network models with layered geometry and distance-dependent connectivity. In order to cover the surface area captured by today's experimental techniques and to achieve sufficient self-consistency, such models contain millions of nerve cells. The interpretation of the resulting stream of multi-modal and multi-dimensional simulation data calls for integrating interactive visualization steps into existing simulation-analysis workflows. Here, we present a set of interactive visualization concepts called views for the visual analysis of activity data in topological network models, and a corresponding reference implementation VIOLA (VIsualization Of Layer Activity). The software is a lightweight, open-source, web-based, and platform-independent application combining and adapting modern interactive visualization paradigms, such as coordinated multiple views, for massively parallel neurophysiological data. For a use-case demonstration we consider spiking activity data of a two-population, layered point-neuron network model incorporating distance-dependent connectivity subject to a spatially confined excitation originating from an external population. With the multiple coordinated views, an explorative and qualitative assessment of the spatiotemporal features of neuronal activity can be performed upfront of a detailed quantitative data analysis of specific aspects of the data. Interactive multi-view analysis therefore assists existing data analysis workflows. Furthermore, ongoing efforts including the European Human Brain Project aim at providing online user portals for integrated model development, simulation, analysis, and provenance tracking, wherein interactive visual analysis tools are one component. Browser-compatible, web-technology based solutions are therefore required. Within this scope, with VIOLA we provide a first prototype.

Using attachment and relational perspectives to understand adaptation and resilience among immigrant and refugee youth.

Migration is a critical issue for child development in the 21st century. We expand on García Coll et al.'s (1996) integrative model of minority child development by drawing from principles of attachment theory and interpersonal relationships research to offer new insights into how youth manage and respond to migration experiences. Immigrant and refugee youth should experience better outcomes to the extent that they (a) maintain strong relationships with caregivers and peers who provide a sense of closeness, safety, and confidence during the process of adjusting to this life transition and (b) find ways to establish a sense of connection and belonging to the new people, places, communities, and social networks within which they now live. Strong bonds to people and connection to places (both familiar and new) can counter the social stratification consequences to minority youth development that are well articulated in García Coll et al.'s integrative model. The need for new and better strategies that promote the positive development of immigrant and refugee youth within their families, schools, workplaces, and communities is crucial, not only for individuals and families but for society as a whole.

Integrated Development Model for the Zadar Port System

The Zadar Port System includes a series of ports and harbours of both the local and county importance, as well as of the national strategic importance. Year after year it has been recording good results in all its elements. However, it should be noted that the most significant growth has been recorded in sectors of nautical tourism and fisheries. Due to limited capacities and the recorded growth of the annual turnover in all the fields, the tendency is to develop the Zadar port system by improving any existing services and expanding by adding new ones. The aim is the integration into the system through diversification of services and enhancement of competitiveness on both the domestic and international markets. This paper has examined the status of existing infrastructure, traffic connections, yearly turnover and strategies for the future development that are meant to serve the purpose of enhancing competitiveness through the concept of integrating all the elements into the whole with the aim of ensuring unlimited possibilities of future development with regard to the geographical position and the needs of future users.

Analysis of low carbon pilot industrial parks in China: Classification and case study

Abstract Industrial Parks (IPs) have made tremendous contributions to China’s national economic development. However the economic gains often come with increased environmental pollution and Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. These problems are compounded by the rapid growth of IPs in China. To promote the low carbon and sustainable development of IPs, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) jointly launched the national Low Carbon Industrial Park Pilot Programme (LCIPPP) in 2013. As the largest pilot programme at the IP level in the world, 51 IPs which vary in location, size, and industrial mix were included. Based on the data of 51 pilot IPs, we applied cluster analysis to propose the 3 H (High carbon intensity, High ratio of coal in energy mix, and High proportion of six energy-intensive industries output), 3 L (Low carbon intensity, Low ratio of coal in energy mix, and Low proportion of six energy-intensive industries output) and Mixed IP classifications. Then a representative IP was selected for case study in accordance with the classification. For each case, the achievements and practices, the drivers and success factors, pathways and models in low carbon development were collected and analyzed. Our findings reveal that 3H IPs should focus more on upgrading traditional heavy industry. Meanwhile, technological innovation and enhancing carbon management are determined to be more efficient ways to realize the low carbon development of 3L IPs. As for Mixed IPs, optimizing the energy mix and adopting an “Industry + town” integrated development model will be effective.

Nobody deserves this fate: the vicious cycle of low human development in Guinea-Bissau

PurposeThis paper aims to understand and explore the causal relationship of elements responsible for the macro vicious cycle of poverty in Guinea-Bissau, and discuss policies to break it.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology used in this study is based on the system dynamics simulation paradigm.FindingsBreaking the Guinean poverty cycle requires a multifaceted approach involving more resources and the building of several national capabilities. Traditional approaches tend to fail.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations come from the level of abstraction used in the model, which does not detail the processes for building specific capabilities and their interrelationships, and the necessary exclusion of variables that may have an impact in the process. Considering implications, the study models the evolution of human development index (HDI) in Guinea-Bissau, linking it to the economy and political sectors and allowing the simulation of different scenarios.Practical implicationsThe study presents a critical stance towards common recommendations from international agencies, and it provides a blueprint for development of more effective public policies.Social implicationsOvercoming the poverty trap in sub-Saharan countries remains a challenge for the international community. The study aims at helping in the process of integrating different frameworks into a compact and manageable model.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the system dynamics and economic development literatures by presenting an integrative model of human development in Guinea-Bissau. There is no study in the system dynamics literature modelling the relationship of HDI to economy and political sectors while different and contradictory points of view characterize the economics literature, leaving well-meaning public officials in Guinea-Bissau at a loss of mental models to tackle the poverty trap in the country.

Integrated model development for safeguarding pyroprocessing facility: Part I-model development and validation

Pyroprocessing is a method involving electrochemistry, thermodynamics, and transport theory. Driven by the current, nuclear materials redistribute between anode, electrolyte, and cathode to realize the desired separation. In the present study, a model for predicting the mass transport for the electrochemical process was developed. The model took into account the following key parameters: diffusion and mass transfer in both the electrode and electrolyte, the anodic dissolution and cathodic precipitation kinetics, the molten salt flow condition, and the solubility of species in molten LiCl-KCl and liquid cadmium. It was validated by available transport data between different pairs of the electrodes, namely liquid cadmium anode to solid cathode, solid anode to solid cathode, and solid anode to liquid cadmium cathode. Time for Pu depositing on the solid cathode as well as Zr dissolving from U-Pu-Zr alloy anode was precisely predicted. The potential and composition changes in various experiments were also well reproduced. The plausible explanation was given to explain the minor disagreement and future work was suggested to improve its capability. The model is useful to understand the reaction mechanisms and safeguard a pyroprocessing facility by monitoring the separation process and tracking the material flow.

Integrated model development for safeguarding pyroprocessing facility: Part II – Case studies and model integration

In the part I, The developed model by the present study was validated by available experimental data. In the second part of the study, the major electrochemical processes of pyroprocessing, including electrorefining, electrolysis of actinide and rare earth were investigated by the model to study their separation performance under different operating conditions. This study provides insightful information about how one can alter the deposition by changing the operating conditions and also benefits the optimization of pyroprocessing design. An integrated safeguard model for the whole pyroprocessing was presented based on the electrochemical model. The integrated model shows how the material can be separated and tracked in the whole process of electrochemical separation.

THE JUSTIFICATION OF DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRATIVE MODEL OF SOCIAL EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE

Social emotional competence (SEC) is called as one of the most needed competences of 21st century. In the past dozen years, number of researches about SEC’s relationship to many other crucial outcomes in psychosocial life of individual –performance, school readiness, success in participation and interaction with peers and adults, well-being, different clinical variables, in example, learning disabilities, depression, anxiety, withdrawal behavior etc. –have been published. Nevertheless, there is no agreement about the definition of SEC, which components comprises it, and there is no standardized measure for SEC assessment. There hasn’t been sufficient qualitative scientific discussion about the topic in Latvia as well, although SEC or its components have been frequently researched here. The aim of this article was to provide a theoretical overview of the problems and challenges in SEC research in general and to justify the need of development of integrative model of SEC. The main objective was to develop its preliminary theoretical version.

SCHOOL RACIAL CLIMATE AND THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF SCHOOL ENGAGEMENT

This investigation utilized an integrative model of development for ethnic minority children and a process model of engagement to explore whether three dimensions of school engagement (behavioral, emotional, and cognitive) mediated relationships between school racial climate, academic performance, and educational aspirations. A total of 139 African American students were recruited from a high school in the southeastern United States. Findings revealed an indirect association between perceptions of racial fairness and academic achievement indicators through behavioral and cognitive engagement. Behavioral and cognitive engagement also mediated relationships between youths’ perceived peer discrimination and academic achievement indicators. No significant indirect associations between teacher discrimination and academic achievement through school engagement dimensions were found. Study limitations, future directions, and implications are discussed.

Cultural Heritage as a Tourist Destination: A Focus on Surakarta Kasunanan Palace in Indonesia

Surakarta Kasunanan Palace is one of the historical palaces in Indonesia. If its local values and integral cultural heritages are clearly understood, conserved and diversified, they could be useful for the society because of the palace’s symbolic and structural meanings embedded in its surrounding and architect. The present study is a qualitative research which aimed to analyze the images of the palace as a tourism as well as cultural object within the central Java region of Indonesia. The data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interview, and document study, and is analyzed using Structuralism and Postmodernism Theory. The results of the study show that Surakarta Kasunanan Palace has not been a popular tourism destination. 
 The attractions and sites of the cultural heritage have not been optimally explored, integrated, and coordinated. It is mainly because there were two ruling kings. Their effort to seek influence over and support from the people cause a lot of problems among the royal family, the regional government, and the society, in terms of developing a general policy of tourism development. Concerning image of the palace in general, the people of Surakarta believe that their pride of the palace and the cultural heritage is not as high as the previous king. However, people still believe in the cultural values and meaning of the symbols in the palace. The development of cultural site and attraction can be carried out through conserving and creating income for the palace, the people, and the regional capital revenue of Surakarta; in which the key factor is communication among the stakeholders. On the other hand, the artifact and cultural attraction of the palace, as a tourism destination, may be decrease in value, from sacred objects to profane attraction in the global world.
 Therefore, it needs a continuous conservation strategy to preserve the image of the palace as cultural heritage and the implementation of local wisdom. To develop the palace as a tourism object, it needs an integrated development model, better accessibility to the surrounding infrastructure of the palace. It also needs better management of human resources as the primary capital of tourism development. The palace, and regional government, needs to cooperate in a more integrated way to plan and execute the tourism, as well as to organize the cultural tourism products, by developing standard facilities of tourism objects, based on the concept of sustainable development.

Understanding personality development

While personality is relatively stable over time, it is also subject to change across the entire lifespan. On a macro-analytical level, empirical research has identified patterns of normative and differential development that are affected by biological and environmental factors, specific life events, and social role investments. On a micro-analytical level, however, little is known about the underlying processes driving personality development. We provide an integrative state process model of personality development that incorporates and builds on previous process approaches to personality. It integrates this micro-analytical state perspective into the well-established macro-analytical understanding of personality trait development. Specifically, we distinguish three domains of individual differences in (the level of and contingencies between) state processes: (1) Goals and Strategies, (2) Actions and Experiences, and (3) Evaluations and Reflections. These process domains build a continuous sequence, with each domain guiding state processes in the next. Each process domain itself and their dependencies within the succession may be subject to change, thereby reflecting normative (in the case of shared development in state processes) and/or differential trait development (in the case of unique development in state processes). Well-established effects of environmental and biological structures, social roles, age, and life events on personality trait development can be explained by systematic links of these macro-level determinants to the outlined micro-level state processes. This integrative, process-based approach is thought to provide a conceptual basis for empirical research aiming at a comprehensive and fine-grained process understanding of personality development across the lifespan.
