    This study aims at determining the effectiveness of the implementation of SBM and knowing the different levels of participation among the citizens in the implementation of SBM schools. This research is a case study and the explanation was using comparative research i.e. comparing and quantitative approaches. The data sources were teachers, staff, school committees, and student with total number of 95 respondents. Data were taken using the questionnaire method. In the previous test instrument validity and reliability testing using Cronbach alpha formula on a significant level of 5%, data analysis technique analyzed the data to obtain descriptive mean value, standard deviation, ANOVA test. The results showed that the level of effective implementation of SBM in SMK Negeri 2 Yogyakarta in the category of being effective enough in other words. The detail of respondents according to teacher ratio was 66.67%, 72.22% from staff respondents, the respondent from school committee was 70.59% and 55.56% from student respondents. The results showed that the level of citizen participation in the implementation of SBM in schools SMK Negeri 2 Yogyakarta included in either category. The details of teacher respondents had a mean range of 82.5 ≤ X ≤ 107.25. The Staff had mean range of 80 ≤ X ≤ 105.05. School committees had a mean range of 80 ≤ X ≤ 105.05. The students had mean range of 55 ≤ X ≤ 71.5. For the differences in the participation rate of 16.854 obtained Fhit (Fhit> Ftab), this suggested that there were significant differences in participation rates among residents in the implementation of SBM schools. Key words: level of effectiveness, implementation of MBS, levels of participation, citizens of the schoo

    A bijection between the set of nesting-similarity classes and L & P matchings

    Full text link
    Matchings are frequently used to model RNA secondary structures; however, not all matchings can be realized as RNA motifs. One class of matchings, called the L &\& P matchings, is the most restrictive model for RNA secondary structures in the Largest Hairpin Family (LHF). The L &\& P matchings were enumerated in 20152015 by Jefferson, and they are equinumerous with the set of nesting-similarity classes of matchings, enumerated by Klazar. We provide a bijection between these two sets. This bijection preserves noncrossing matchings, and preserves the sequence obtained reading left to right of whether an edge begins or ends at that vertex.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure

    Improving organizational sustainability using a quality perspective

    This article derives lessons from the quality approach for further developing the organizational sustainability approach. Taking a responsibility perspective on organizational sustainability, four issues emerge that need to be resolved, i.e. what is the responsibility?, what is the responsibility area?, who is involved in determining responsibilities and area?, and, in what way is the organization able to take care of these responsibilities?. The article explores in what way the quality approach has been dealing with these issues, which is the basis for some lessons for the sustainability approach. An important lesson is that the who is involved question should be leading. The stakeholder who is willing to pay for sustainability dominates answering the other three issues. With respect to the accounting practices, sustainability programmes could be inspired by the same need for protective and accountable behaviour as quality programmes, if the well-known negative aspects are minimized.

    Characteristics of chaos evolution in one-dimensional disordered nonlinear lattices

    Full text link
    We numerically investigate the characteristics of chaos evolution during wave packet spreading in two typical one-dimensional nonlinear disordered lattices: the Klein-Gordon system and the discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation model. Completing previous investigations \cite{SGF13} we verify that chaotic dynamics is slowing down both for the so-called `weak' and `strong chaos' dynamical regimes encountered in these systems, without showing any signs of a crossover to regular dynamics. The value of the finite-time maximum Lyapunov exponent Λ\Lambda decays in time tt as ΛtαΛ\Lambda \propto t^{\alpha_{\Lambda}}, with αΛ\alpha_{\Lambda} being different from the αΛ=1\alpha_{\Lambda}=-1 value observed in cases of regular motion. In particular, αΛ0.25\alpha_{\Lambda}\approx -0.25 (weak chaos) and αΛ0.3\alpha_{\Lambda}\approx -0.3 (strong chaos) for both models, indicating the dynamical differences of the two regimes and the generality of the underlying chaotic mechanisms. The spatiotemporal evolution of the deviation vector associated with Λ\Lambda reveals the meandering of chaotic seeds inside the wave packet, which is needed for obtaining the chaotization of the lattice's excited part.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure

    Pattern Avoidance in Task-Precedence Posets

    Full text link
    We have extended classical pattern avoidance to a new structure: multiple task-precedence posets whose Hasse diagrams have three levels, which we will call diamonds. The vertices of each diamond are assigned labels which are compatible with the poset. A corresponding permutation is formed by reading these labels by increasing levels, and then from left to right. We used Sage to form enumerative conjectures for the associated permutations avoiding collections of patterns of length three, which we then proved. We have discovered a bijection between diamonds avoiding 132 and certain generalized Dyck paths. We have also found the generating function for descents, and therefore the number of avoiders, in these permutations for the majority of collections of patterns of length three. An interesting application of this work (and the motivating example) can be found when task-precedence posets represent warehouse package fulfillment by robots, in which case avoidance of both 231 and 321 ensures we never stack two heavier packages on top of a lighter package.Comment: 17 page
