Critical review of safety performance metrics [PDF]

International Journal of Business Performance Management, 2016
Various tools for safety performance measurement have been introduced in order to fulfil the need for safety monitoring in organisations, which is tightly related to their overall performance and achievement of their business goals. Such tools include accident rates, benchmarking, safety culture and climate assessments, cost-effectiveness studies, etc.

Evaluating the efficacy of HRZE-based regimens in a high-burden murine model: a back-translational assessment of rifamycins and moxifloxacin substitutions in tuberculosis treatment

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionThe standard treatment for tuberculosis is the isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol (HRZE) regimen. Despite its efficacy, this regimen has limitations, including prolonged treatment duration and poor clinical outcomes in drug ...

Expansion of the Analysis of Performance Funding Outcomes to Include Critical Race Theory

Journal of Higher Education Policy and Leadership Studies, 2023
Performance funding is a common strategy used among state governments to appropriate higher education funding. Performance funding traditionally allocates a portion of state appropriations based on an institution’s ability to meet performance metrics ...

Homogeneous and curvature homogeneous Lorentzian critical metrics

Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Section A Mathematics, 2022
We determine all three-dimensional homogeneous and $1$-curvature homogeneous Lorentzian metrics which are critical for a quadratic curvature functional. As a result, we show that any quadratic curvature functional admits different non-Einstein homogeneous critical metrics and that there exist homogeneous metrics which are critical for all quadratic ...

Goals/questions/metrics method and SAP implementation projects [PDF]

, 2001
During the last years some researchers have studied the critical success factors (CSFs) in ERP implementations. However, until now, no one has studied how these CSFs should be put in practice to help organizations achieve success in ERP implementations.

Left-invariant Einstein metrics on $S^3 \times S^3$

, 2018
The classification of homogeneous compact Einstein manifolds in dimension six is an open problem. We consider the remaining open case, namely left-invariant Einstein metrics $g$ on $G = \mathrm{SU}(2) \times \mathrm{SU}(2) = S^3 \times S^3$.

Torsion and critical metrics on contact three-manifolds [PDF]

Kodai Mathematical Journal, 1990
Let M be a 3-dimensional compact contact manifold with contact form \(\omega\) and characteristic vector field \(X_ 0\). Let \({\mathcal M}\) denote the set of all associated metrics to \(\omega\). For any \(g\in {\mathcal M}\) let r denote the scalar curvature, S the Ricci tensor, \(\tau\) the Lie derivative of g with respect to \(x_ 0\) and \(\sigma\)
