Excess or deficient quality control and improvement activities cause a decrease in enterprise competitiveness. The quality of a product surpassing the target value indicates that the enterprise has invested too many resources, resulting in lower profits and crowding out resources;whereas the quality of a product falling short of the target value indicates that the enterprise did not invest enough resources, leading to failure in meeting customer expectation and incapability of acceptance. In view of this, this study proposed a quality evaluation method for software products using integration of Taguchi's loss function and analytic hierarchy process. Information on excess and deficient quality control was quantified and expressed mainly from user quality perspectives. In addition, we guided readers through the evaluation method and application process using case scenario simulation, as well as discussing how to handle application challenges in practice including: (1) the proper guidelines and appropriateness of the quality indicators, and (2) the analytic perspective and management implications of the Taguchi's loss values. Finally, based on the output of this study, we also proposed three future research directions worthy of further investigation.

This paper discusses an envisioned nanotechnology curriculum in the field of industrial technology. To create a dynamic industrial technology 21st century workforce, a strong collaboration between academia and industry is required. Furthermore, building this new workforce requires proactive and out-of-the-box thinking to implement nanotechnology-based programs in anticipation of industry needs. As nanotechnology becomes more persuasive, industry's demands for high technology, i.e. nanotechnology, management skills will originate from applied-technology programs. The Association of technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) must be in position to assist in supplying the nano-white collar workforce.
Nowadays, all successful corporations consider Information technology as the main part of their success and as a cooperator in their strategy. They use information technology to add value to their organization more an...

From the perspective of pedagogy, this study aims to recognize the influence of students' learning motivations and computer self-efficacy when learning through online platforms, with learning achievement as the criterion for future instruction and related studies. By literature review, this study probes into related learning theories and actual operations as the base of research development, and elaborates on the students' differences of learning achievements according to questionnaire and learning performance. The results show that: 1. Learning motivation positively influences computer self-efficacy. 2. Learning motivation positively influences learning effectiveness. 3. Computer self-efficacy positively influences learning effectiveness. 4. Computer selfefficacy reveals mediating effects between learning motivation and learning effectiveness.

Monolithic silica spin column extraction (MonoSpin-SPE) was developed as a simple, sensitive, and eco-friendly pretreatment method which combined with ultra-fast liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS) to determine the levels of six phthalate esters, dimethyl- (DMP), diethyl- (DEP), dipropyl- [ DPrP], butyl-benzyl- (BBP), dicyclohexyl- (DcHP), and di-n-octyl-(DOP) phthalate in physiological saline samples. Under optimized experimental conditions, the method was linear in the following ranges: 0.2- 50 μg/L for DMP, DEP, DPrP, DcHP and DOP; 5- 100 μg/L for BBP. The correlation coefficients (R2 ) were in the range of 0. 9951 - 0. 9995 for all the analytes and the limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were in the ranges of 0.02 - 0.9 μg/L and 0.08 - 2.7μg/L, respectively. The pretreatment process showed good reproducibility with inter-day and intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 8.5% and 11.2%, respectively. This method was used to determine the levels of six phthalate esters in physiological saline samples and the recoveries ranged from 71.2% to 107.3%. DMP and DEP were found in actual physical saline samples (brand A and brand B).

This study examines the effects of e-learning system service quality and users' acceptance on organizational learning. The sample was drawn from 15 companies certified by the E-Learning Quality Certification Center of Taiwan. The authors used UTAUT, SERVQUAL, and SLAM scales to collect data, and the structural equation model (SEM) to examine the hypothesized model. The results show that (1) e-learning system service quality has a positive effect on acceptance and use of e-learning technology, (2) the latter has a positive effect on organizational learning effectiveness, and (3) acceptance and use of e-learning technology plays a full mediating role in the relationship between e-learning system service quality and organizational learning effectiveness. Although e-learning system service quality has no direct effect on organizational learning effectiveness, the result has practical implications for institutions in that e-learning system service quality can strengthen organizational learning effectiveness via well-structured e-learning technology. When implementing e-learning, institutions should manage both e-learning technology and the quality of e-learning service. The more users are satisfied with e-learning service, the more organizational learning will be enhanced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of online (web-based) creative problem-solving (CPS) activities on student technological creativity and to examine the characteristics of student creativity in the context of online CPS. A pretest-posttest quasi-experiment was conducted with 107 fourth-grade students in Taiwan. The quantitative analysis revealed that the technological creativity of the online-CPS students was better than that of the traditional group. It was evident that students in the online-CPS groups were better at analytic than at synthetic thinking. Metaphor and analogy were used to produce new ideas most frequently. In addition to generating ideas by themselves, students arrived at solutions by refining and adapting others' thoughts with little discussion or interaction on the web. Consideration of the feasibility of production was the most important factor in the technological creativity of students.
