The supply and use tables (SUTs) and input-output tables (in short: IOTs) provide a very detailed, and empirically measured or estimated picture of the economy. The tables present information on the supply and use of goods and services for industries' intermediate consumption and categories of final use (final consumption, capital formation and exports). They also provide details on the generation of income for each industry distinguishing the components of gross value added. The SUTs and IOTs provide empirical data for a wide range of economic analyses. These tables show the inter-linkages of a national or regional economy both from a supply and demand perspective. Where various sectors of the economy typically purchase goods and services from each other as they work themselves towards the final consumers or towards exporting outside of the economy described with the data. How the economy distributes corporate, personal and government income, how they finance consumption and investments. They system of input-output tables are the most comprehensive, empirically measured data for many types of macroeconomic research, industry organization analysis, or they provide tools for various economic and environmental impact analysis. The `eurostat::get_eurostat` function retrieves the relevant supply, use, symmetric-input output or margin tables in a tidy, long-form. These tidy, long datasets cannot be meaningfully spread into a tidy, wide format without understanding and properly ordering the rows and columns of those datasets. The input-output system is a matrix algebraic system. The system of the input-output tables must be spread into at least four, interconnecting and compatible matrixes. Any further data for analysis (such as data on employment, or material flows like greenhouse gases) must be added to a system of matrix equations in the form of conforming vectors or matrixes. Properly formed coefficient matrixes must be calculated from parts of the input-output table, and they must be translated into the Leontief ...

This paper advocates the use of standard high level programming languages for medical computing. It recommends that U.S. Government agencies having health care missions implement coordinated policies that encourage the use of existing standard languages and the development of new ones, thereby enabling them and the medical computing community at large to share state-of-the-art application programs. Examples are based on a model that characterizes language and language translator influence upon the specification, development, test, evaluation, and transfer of application programs.

Following a first wave of interventions that employed the style hackers have used since the 1960s —intervening in networks by mirroring their technology— a second wave is now engaged in questioning the needs and use of networks, claiming to re-think them through a perspective of withdrawal. One option for other kinds of networks may be "ad hoc networking," altering the structures, politics, and economics of commercial platforms as well as the pure functionality of algorithms. Instead of doing unpaid work, which we all do as users of the Internet, thoughtless about our data-behavior, a space of imagination and invention should be opened to enable creative possibilities.

A railway route contains a number of bridge structures along its path. Consequently during operation, these bridges go through different type of load and stresses; as a result the bridges get damaged. The severity of the damage is mainly dependent on the volume of traffic, tonnage of the rolling stock, service year of the bridge, maneuver of users, etc. But in order to determine whether a bridge needs to be maintained or reconstructed, there must be an investigation, either thorough or timely scheduled investigation. Asset management is a strategic and systematic process through which an organization procures, operates, maintains, rehabilitates, and replaces assets to manage their performance, risks, and costs over their lifecycle to provide safe, cost-effective, and reliable service to current and future customers. For an organization to have a proficient bridge asset management, incorporating BMS in the system is very important. BMS is a formal procedure for collecting, processing, and updating data, predicting deterioration, identifying alternative actions and predicting their costs, and identifying optimal preservation policies. For an effective bridge management, computer aided management system is a very valuable choice that would serve the need of the authorized legal entity management personnel those responsible for monitoring of Railway Bridges, and managing bridge maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. This research study is focused to develop and introduce a computer program that could assist specially bridge asset management decision making. Transportation accesses are critical to the well being of the nation. And one of the biggest factors to influence transportation is railway transport service. It supports everyday social, political and economic activities by linking communities and connecting people with services. Hence, keeping the railway infrastructures in good condition is keeping the railway transport service efficiently. The computer program graphical interface is designed using Visual Basic Programming tool which is user friendly and easy to slot in all necessary information in to the computer. The data encoded in to the software are stored for fast and reliable accessibility using SQL (Server Query Language) Server, which allows all authorized computers on the network to access the information on their desk. The computer program does bridge registration and inventory, inspection data processing, priority ranking, maintenance cost estimation and maintenance plan generation.

Communicating with other nations in their native language is an important and necessary aspect of a successful United States' foreign policy. Critical to this success is the ability of military personnel to communicate clearly when in contact with foreign nationals, whether in peace-time or war. The Air Force has made great strides in the past 10 years to improve its foreign language capability, particularly through its application of the Language and Area Studies Immersion (LASI) program. The LASI program has significantly improved the foreign language capability of the Air Force, specifically those with previous language scores in the mid-tier range. The main goal of this thesis was to quantify that increase in language capability, thus allowing those responsible for the Air Force language capability to make appropriate decisions regarding the future direction of the Air Force's Language program. An additional aspect of this thesis is to investigate possible correlations between language capabilities and personality dimensions; therefore, as part of this study, Air Force officers (linguists) were surveyed to obtain language scores, measure personality dimensions and efforts to retain their language.

A thesis submitted to the University of Bedfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ; Adopting new technology and integrating it into foreign language (English) teaching in a conservative Muslim society (Saudi Arabia) that is resistant to change is not an easy matter. However, the Saudi government has adopted progressive initiatives to develop the education system including the introduction of Information Communication Technology (ICT) into secondary schools. This study identifies factors that influence the adoption and integration of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in the Saudi secondary schools context. It provides a much needed window into the overt factors influencing CALL adoption and integration, such as CALL facilities, Ministry of Education support, CALL training, and the lack of specific plans and projects for CALL. It also provides insight into the covert factors that hinder the introduction of innovation, such as attitudes towards CALL and cultural barriers. Guided by the theoretical framework provided by the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, the study collected both quantitative data through surveys (n = 298) and in-depth interview data from stakeholders in English language learning, including teachers, inspectors of English, and MOE policymakers.

To explain the exercise of power through the use of language and its effects on power relations and program construction, the verbal interaction between three individuals in a program planing meeting was analyzed. Using critical language study, a type of discourse analysis, the investigation revealed that crucial planning action was situated by political relationships enacted through the use of language. Learning objectives, and adult education prescriptions and ethical imperatives took concrete shape within a socio-political context where the negotiation of power and interests was the central feature of "planing talk". e implications are that program construction is not only messy and contingent, but that it demands an awareness of many levels of meaning in discourse. Planners, therefore, must be prepared to use language skillfully and politically if they intend to act responsibly and exercise the full extent of their agency.

Interest in the relationship between law and technology has been growing steadily (albeit slowly) over recent years. This is perhaps inevitable in a society which is increasingly dependent on novel and constantly evolving technologies which are absorbed at an incredibly fast rate into our every-day life ; peer-reviewed

The internationalisation of the Portuguese language has become a priority for academic institutions of different Portuguese-speaking countries which are trying to adapt to the current context of globalisation and ubiquitous communications through digital media. In order to achieve it, several challenges should be faced, namely providing international students with resources aimed at helping them improve their Portuguese while fostering its use in academic and scientific contexts. This can be done by identifying, creating and editing high-quality teaching materials which bear in mind the sociocultural, political, economic and linguistic contexts; using the Information and Communication Technologies effectively in both face-to-face and online learning environments (International Institute of the Portuguese Language, 2010); and promoting the online learning of Portuguese as a Foreign Language in higher education settings through virtual learning environments. This paper explores the challenges brought about by the internationalisation of Portuguese and how computer assisted language learning - and, more specifically, the development of a virtual learning environment aiming at catering for the linguistic needs of international students in different institutions in Brazil, Portugal and elsewhere - could help face these challenges.
