Operationalization. As mentioned in the theoretical framework, Xxxxxxx’x MSF is an adaptable framework making it an adequate theory to use as an analytical tool. Since the concepts of the MSF have been conceptualized in the theoretical framework it is vital to operationalize them. This section will start by operationalizing each stream.
Operationalization. The Parties shall establish, by mutual agreement, the steps and other applicable obligations, in order to operationalize the Prepayment of Receivables operations contained in this Agreement.
Operationalization. The system will automatically and continuously measure the number of alerts generated in a weekly basis (1) Fall detection: the system measures (i) the number of fall detection (state 2: The Miraculous-Life system detects the figure of the elderly on the floor), (ii) the number of false alarm (state 3: Xxxxxx stands up. She feels good and answers: “No, I am ok now”), (iii) the number of alarms sent to caregivers with the validation of the user (state 5: Xxxxxx answers: “Yes” or “Call for help”), (iv) the number of alarms sent to caregivers without the validation of the user (see state 6.1 Conditional preferred solution) (2) Call for help: the system measures (i) the number of times the user asks for help (state 1: Xxxxxx doesn’t feel good. She has strong headache and stomach-ache. She asks for help by saying: “Xxxx, help me”), (ii) the number of false alarm (state 3: Xxxxxx: “No, I am ok now”), (iii) the number of alarms sent to caregivers with the validation of the user (State 5: Xxxxxx answers: “Yes” or “Call for help”), (iv) the number of alarms sent to caregivers without the validation of the user (see state 6.1 Conditional preferred solution) (3) Medication reminder: the system measures (i) the number of times the user take
Operationalization. According to participating end user organisations, the social interaction of the elderly with a formal caregiver is not relevant to be assessed since this will not increase during the course of the trial. On the other hand the social interaction between the elder and his informal caregivers it is important for the elderly’s quality of life and will possibly be influenced by the Miraculous-Life project positively. Objective and subjective measurements will be used to measure the increase in social interaction of the elderly.
Operationalization the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Interview (ZBI) questionnaire, which aims in assessing the reduction of the burden of care of the caregivers, was adapted in order to build the questionnaire “PART G – Care Demand”. This questionnaire will be administered at the beginning and at the end of the trial to a group of caregivers involved in the trial phase.
Operationalization. The operationalization of TPA, NPM and PVM is based on their key char- acteristics that have been identified in the previous section: first column of table 1. These characteristics have been largely based on Xxxxxx’x and X’Xxxxx’x conceptualizations of TPA, NPM and PVM, and Xxxxx’x con- ceptualization of public value. Table 1 discusses these characteristics very theoretical without referring to a specific sector. Here, the table will be discussed again, but now more specifically for the MBO sector. In TPA, the Dutch second chamber would provide input for the strategy of the Executive Boards of ROC’s and AOC’s and the MBO institutions have to follow these guidelines, deciding very little themselves. The Inspection of Education and the Supervisory Board would play a big role and would extensively check whether ROC’s and AOC’s comply with the guidelines provided the Ministry. In NPM, the Ministry would conclude contracts with ROC’s and AOC’s including targets for which the Executive Board and the directors of the MBO colleges are responsible to achieve. In return for meeting targets, ROC’s and AOC’s would receive money as an incentive for performance. NPM would also include competition between ROC’s and AOC’s because contracts could for example contain agreements stating for example: the better a school’s study success, the more money it receives from the Ministry. PVM would include a more bottom-up approach where the Executive Boards of ROC’s and AOC’s would take more initiative in deciding on their strategy, in partnership with the Ministry, firms in their region and the municipality council or citizen representatives. The partners would pursue a common goal, which improving the quality of the skills of MBO graduates and provide the region with graduates that are adequately trained.
Operationalization. 18.1 The Applicant/Producer in cooperation with KOSTT will comply with the plans and responsibilities of the Connection Point defined in the Connection Code. These will be finalized before the generating equipment is connected. The Producer shall provide a statement that the generating equipment meets the requirements of the Connection Code, along with all technical requirements.
