Legitimacy and reputation of organizations: Their relationship with management systems and financial performance
(Organizational Legitimacy: Challenges and Opportunities for Businesses and Institutions, 2018)
Legitimacy and reputation are intangible assets of growing importance for the survival of organizations, so it is very important to develop strategies that improve these assets. In addition, the implementation of management ...
Introduction, Construction, Usage, and Management of MOOCs in China
(Lecture Notes in Educational Technology, 2018)
Chinese higher education which is in the critical stage of comprehensive reform shows great enthusiasm in face of the emerging MOOCs and has begun to consciously pay attention to the development of online education. China’s ...
Overview of Research on Chinese MOOCs
(Lecture Notes in Educational Technology, 2018)
MOOCs have been in the spotlight since its debut in China in 2012. Later, MOOC platforms and relevant courses developed by different organizations sprung up like mushrooms. Now MOOCs can be seen in multiple forms in practice ...
Toward a general theory of point to point iterative processes free of derivatives with quadratic convergence
(AIP Conference Proceedings, 2018)
In this work, we are concerned with the problem of developing a general theory about derivative-free iterative procedures with quadratic convergence. Newton's method is the most used, well-known and studied in order to ...
On a Newton-type family of high-order iterative methods for some matrix functions
(AIP Conference Proceedings, 2018)
The main goal of this paper is to approximate some matrix functions by using a family of high-order Newton-type iterative methods. We analyse the semilocal convergence and the speed of convergence of these methods. Concerning ...
Secant-like methods in chemistry
(Contemporary study of iterative methods: convergence, dynamics and applications, 2018)
In this chapter we provide different semilocal and local results for the convergence of secant-like methods in order to expand the solvability of nonlinear equations. Different numerical examples and chemical applications ...
Building capacity of university educators to work with open practices beyond OER: a case study
(12th International Technology, Education and Development Conference (INTED), 2018)
Adopting open practices in higher education bears the potential to increase quality, access and effectiveness of the educational offer of universities, as well as to improve their impact on society and reputation. Because ...
Generalized equations
(Contemporary study of iterative methods: convergence, dynamics and applications, 2018)
In this chapter we present some developments for the local convergence of Newton's method. Some special cases and a numerical example illuminating the theoretical results are also presented.
Laguerre-like method for multiple zeros
(Contemporary study of iterative methods: convergence, dynamics and applications, 2018)
In this chapter the applicability of the Laguerre-like method for finding multiple zeros is extended. Numerical examples are also presented.
The quality debates in international higher education on competition for students from an european perspective
(11th Annual International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation (ICERI), 2018)
Higher education is facing, worldwide, a context of greater competition for students. It is a new environment of competition for the student, based both on reasons of supply (offer available to the student), and demand ...
