Conjecture about mechanism of butterfly-shape coal and gas outburst in excavation roadway by Ma Nianjie, Zhao Xidong, Zhao Zhiqiang, Guo Xiaofei, Liu Hongtao, Jia Housheng

“…Referring to roadway butterfly shape rock burst mechanism and nonlinear dynamic system theory, a conjecture about butterfly-shape coal and gas outburst mechanism in excavation roadway has been made, In this conjecture, the mechanical essence of coal and gas outburst in excavation roadway is that a certain degree of butterfly shape plastic zone increment appears in front of excavation face in an extremely short period of time, triggering in the quick release of surrounding rock elastic energy and gas energy, thus resulting in coal and gas outburst.From the aspects of consistency of plastic zone changing laws between butterfly rock burst and coal and gas outburst, the outburst energy source and the rationality of conjecture was verified, and the risk evaluation system of coal and gas outburst was established as well.Four necessary conditions of strength, stress, angle and triggering event for coal and gas outburst were put forward, besides, the sufficient conditions of coal and gas outburst were determined; Quantitative analysis and explanation (not qualitative) of the phenomenon, occurring condition and process of coal and gas outburst were studied for the first time.The research result has provided a new idea for the research work in the field of coal and gas outburst forecast, prediction and prevention in coal seam roadway.…”

Transferable Principles for Managing the Nexus: Lessons from Historical Global Water Modelling of Central Asia by Joseph H. A. Guillaume, Matti Kummu, Stephanie Eisner, Olli Varis

“…Concepts from resilience and socio-ecological system theory are used to interpret the results and identify five principles relevant to managing the transboundary nexus: (1) the subsystems included/excluded from the nexus are case-specific and should be consciously scrutinized; (2) consensus is needed on what boundaries can acceptably be crossed within the nexus; (3) there is a need to understand how reducing trade-offs will modify system dependencies; (4) global stakeholders have both a responsibility and right to contribute to the shaping of the nexus; (5) combining data with global and local perspectives can help to enhance transferability and understanding of shared problems in our globalized world.…”

A holistic approach to tax administration performance management: Developing an integrated and open system model by Mansor, Muzainah, Tayib, Mahamad

“…A tax administration can be viewed as an open system that transforms inputs into outputs within the internal and external environment in which it operates.Open system theory is the basis of an input-process-output-outcome model of performance management.However, an open performance management system alone is impracticable without integrating the strategic, operational, and individual performance management levels.Strategic and operational levels should support each other and have impact on how people act at the individual level.This paper proposes a holistic performance management model which combines an open system model with an integrated model to develop a new holistic performance management model as a guide for a tax administration to evaluate, improve and manage its performance management system.The new model integrates performance management at the strategic, operational and individual levels in an open system view of a tax administration.The distinct feature of the model is that it highlights the critical process of transforming inputs into outputs/outcomes in a tax administration by diagnosing the interrelation of the components in a tax administration process, i.e. formal organisation, informal organisation, task and people.These components contain both institutional and behavioural factors that should be carefully managed to improve the overall performance of a tax administration.…”
