The ’balanced scorecard’ is used not only as a tool to clarify the strategy of a company, but more importantly used for planning and development strategies. Without a strategy, it is impossible to survive in a competitive and dynamic business world. Combining long-term competitive capabilities with the goal of creating a synthesized company, the balanced scorecard can be trusted to utilize the financial measures of past performance to predict future performance. This data was analyzed from four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth. The balanced scorecard is used as a basic measure, not only of the company's long-term goals, but also from the inclusion of the vision and mission. Herbal Puspo, a company engaged in the field of herbal pharmaceuticals, is also in the process of determining the direction and objectives of the company. The authors help determine its vision and mission which is then translated into strategic objectives for the company. The authors collected data and information, including surveys and industry analysis, which is then analyzed using a variety of basic theories of management strategies such as Porter's Five Forces and the TOWS matrix. From this analysis, the authors, together with the company management, summarized a strategic measure which was then translated into the four perspectives of the balanced scorecard companies.

A guided vehicle is mainly divided into four subsystems: the airframe, guidance and control, motor (or propulsion), and payload. Thus, it is a very rich field for the research and interplay of different disciplines with pertinent technologies. Consequently, the first problem facing the designers is to select the technology appropriate for a new vehicle development and for the creation of the conceptual design. In addition, they have to be absolutely sure that the systems they design and develop represent not only the maximum performance for the money invested but also that the type of performance obtained is really needed by the customer. One of the important systems is the guidance and control (the nerve center or backbone) of a vehicle where it is necessary to discuss different design and analysis aspects in addition to analyzing and defining the problems of design and their solutions to cope with different sources of uncertainty. The analysis of the guidance system should include the evaluation of the types of guidance errors and the mathematical methods or tools which exist to evaluate and minimize these errors. The control system synthesis and design should be accomplished using the up-to date techniques such as optimal/adaptive robust techniques in addition to techniques for predicting the system stability and proper system responses. Determination of the sources of errors and their propagation through the system are of fundamental importance in setting design specifications and achieving a well balanced design. Overall evaluation is to be conducted using numerous simulation techniques and test facilities to verify the design, predict performance, define zones of effectiveness, and analyze preand post-flight results. Due to the extremely high cost of developing and testing prototype concepts for each of the very large number of possible guidance and control concept combinations, the use of simulation through mathematical techniques is absolute necessity. The results of simulation are then realized and evaluated against the performance requirements. Therefore, this paper is devoted to present the design process in a stepwise approach and to clarify the different disciplines that have to work together towards the production of a guided vehicle starting by the customer requirements and mission. In addition, it is complemented by a comprehensive study of a hypothetical guided vehicle covering both technical and managerial aspects especially those concerning the guidance and control problem. This work solidifies the interplay between different disciplines and will be beneficial for those working in the field especially young researchers and designers.

As the payloads increases, the traditional spacecraft will no longer meet the future requirements from rocket carrying capacity, payloads installation and Operationally Responsive Space (ORS). Modular Spacecraft has been proposed to solve the problem. If modules have the capacity of transformation, the corresponding spacecraft, Transformable Modular Spacecraft (TMS) supposed in this paper, would be more competent for space mission. Through moving, reconnecting, transforming modules, TMS exhibits the capability of structure reconstruction and reversibility. After analyzing the transformation modes used by current spacecraft, the sliding stretch and rotating deployment are selected as ones of modular transformation mode. The plan that huge solar sail is constructed with solar panel modules as a typical TMS application is shown at last.

Mounting accuracy of satellite payload and ADCS (attitude determination and control subsystem) seats is one of the requirements to achieve the satellite mission with acceptable performance. Components of mounting inaccuracy are technological inaccuracies, residual plastic deformations after loading (during transportation and orbital insertion), elastic deformations, and thermal deformations during orbital operation. This paper focuses on estimation of thermal deformations of satellite structure. Thermal analysis is executed by applying finite-difference method (IDEAS) and temperature profile for satellite components case is evaluated. Then, Perform thermal finite-element analysis applying the finite-difference model results as boundary conditions; and calculate the resultant thermal strain. Next, applying the resultant thermal strain, perform finite-element structure analysis to evaluate structure deformations at the payload and ADCS equipments seats.

Nurses constitute a major bulk of health service manpower. Additionally, nursing care is a major determinant of successful health care delivery worldwide and identifying nurses' opinion and perceptions toward quality care program is crucial for successful implementation of such program. The aim of this study is to assess the nurses' knowledge and perceptions regarding some concepts of health care quality at Alexandria University Students Hospital. Cross-sectional descriptive study design was conducted in which self-administrated questionnaire was introduced to all nurses available in all shifts (310 nurses) at the selected hospital to assess their knowledge about quality activities in the study hospital and their perceptions regarding certain quality aspects. Results indicated that 57.1% of nurses were aware about the presence of the quality department in their hospital and only 27.1% of them were knowledgeable about the presence of quality standards in the hospital. The majority of nurses responded positively to statements of the suggestions for quality improvement and barriers that hinder the implementation of quality in health services. In relation to nurses' awareness regarding certain quality aspects, there was statistically insignificant increase in the percent frequencies for nurses attending training courses concerning both "quality concepts" items (77.4%) and "suggestions for quality improvement" items (86.8%). It was concluded that planning and implementation of continuous in-service quality training programs for nurses to improve their awareness and acceptance of quality of care are very critical for staff development. Also, designing organizational charts for quality department with name, authority and responsibilities is recommended together with, dissemination of mission, vision and objectives of quality department through the organization, so everyone become aware about them.

The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) products to drive a mesoscale hydrologic model (mHM) in a poorly gauged basin. Other remotely sensed products such as LandSat and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) were also used to complement the local geoinformation. For this purpose, three data blending techniques that combine satellite with in situ observations were implemented and evaluated in the Mod basin (512 km2) in India. The climate of the basin is semi-arid and monsoon-dominated. The rainfall gauging network comprised six stations with daily records spanning 9 years. Daily discharge time series was only 4 years long and incomplete. Lumped and distributed versions of mHM were evaluated. Parameters of the lumped version were obtained through calibration. A multiscale regionalization technique was used to parameterize the distributed version using global parameters from other gauged basins. Both mHM versions were evaluated during six monsoon seasons. Results of numerical experiments indicated that driving mHM with satellite-based products is possible and promising. The distributed model with regionalized parameters was at least 20% more efficient than that of its lumped version. Initialization conditions must be carefully considered when the model is only driven by remotely sensed inputs.
