This paper analyzed technology transfer in university-industry collaboration. The problem that motivated the study was that developing countries, with their limited financial capabilities, face the challenge of creating appropriate environment that could facilitate the creation and commercialization of technologies. Moreover, the recognition of poor scientific outputs as a hindrance to the growth of domestic industry has brought research on the development agenda because of low technological standards in the developing world. However, this poses for strong collaborations in the developing and developed world to promote a competitive edge comparable with the developed world. This would produce competitive local graduates for the global job market. The objectives were to identify the technology transfer barriers in order to strategize in the university curricula and match the global standards. The following research questions guided the study: 1. how best could industry complement university curricula?2. What different kind of mechanisms are used for transferring technology and how best can outstanding strategies be introduced for optimum collaboration with the developed world? Based on review of literature, it was evident that transfer of technology is affected by numerous constraints that hinder efficient technology transfer, thus impeding the development of innovative entrepreneurship. Following the qualitative approach, a sample of 3 universities, 3 intermediary organizations and a sample of 15 information technology companies participated in the study through interviews. The findings revealed that there is a discrepancy in technology between countries, requiring strategic partnerships to merge the discovery-driven culture of the university with the innovation on-driven environment of the industry thereby posing the need for powerful collaborations between industry and university. From a developing country perspective, very little is known about the technology transfer process, especially the mechanisms, barriers, and incentives of this process. The study will help to improve the understanding of the current process of technology transfer, while concentrating on the incentives and barriers to transferring technology from universities to industry.
If teacher professional development programmes are not achieving what they are meant to achieve and teachers are not changing their practice, the end result is poor participation in the classroom from both teachers and their learners hence no improvement in learner performance. The purpose of this study was to assess perceptions of teachers on the effectiveness of current teacher professional development programmes being offered in one province in South Africa. The study adopted a qualitative interpretive research methodology. Data was collected through individual interviews with teachers and school principals. Findings depicted that more training should be provided for teaching, use of technological devices and involvement of teachers in curriculum development should be enhanced. It was also found that including technology in TPD training would help enhance the training programmes. Teachers should ensure they get acquainted with all facilities required in the TPD programmes. Principals should organise training seminars and workshops on the application of discipline strategies/methods, management strategies and intervention programmes.
Abstract- As Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a reconfigurable and programmable device, it can be affected by SEUs (Single Event Upsets) due to radiations, therefore it becomes important to make the implemented circuit on FPGA as fault tolerant. The first step towards making the circuit more reliable is to detect the fault where it occurs. Various fault detection schemes can be used for this. In this paper MCM (Multiple constant Multiplication) FIR filter is simulated and synthesized using Verilog in Xilinx Vivado 2018.2 and also it is implemented on Zedboard. MATLAB simulations are used to verify the results of the output of FIR filter. Error detection schemes Concurrent Error Detection (CED) technique and Dual Modular Redundancy (DMR) have been added to filter in order to detect faults. These detection schemes have been verified using simulation based fault injection. It is clearly observed from synthesized design reports that DMR uses more number of resources than CED. It has also been observed that the increase in number of utilized resources is more as the order of filter increases. Thus CED is preferred wherever resource utilization is critical.
The notion of administrative justice, its content, backgrounds of establishment and its main models were examined in the article. It was envisaged significance and functions which administrative justice performs for public administration. Different approaches of definition of administrative justice in both in common law countries and in civil law countries on the example of Ukraine were provided in the article. It was proposed a definition of administrative justice for both common law and civil law systems.
This study examines how customer-centered management systems contribute to CRM through the use of digital services. The article presents empirical evidence from an online survey of 405 people using digital services living Kocaeli province in Turkey and modeling a system of structural equations using partial least squares. 405 people have been selected by a random sampling method to ensure objectivity and scientific neutrality. Among the 405 people, 350 were found to have filled out the questionnaire in full and completely. The study also examined the relationship between the dimensions of service quality and customer satisfaction. The results confirm that most of the dimensions of digital service quality favor the development of customer satisfaction capabilities and both the relationship the independent variables and trust, Enthusiasm and sensitivity dimensions and customer satisfaction are positive. High customer satisfaction with digital services can lead to superior firm performance; however, companies should also gain credibility for customers and should design their products according to customer preferences.
