“…For the calculation of 'q' EP indicators as well as the rest of the decision-making process an approach inspired by the Dunn-Rankin technique [6] is proposed. The m alternative scenarios are inserted as rows and columns in a squared m Â m matrix V ¼ ðv uz Þ, u; z ¼ 1; .…”

“…In contrast, when actors propose the value of 17 for a criterion, this will be assigned as 0. If the rating given by the actors varies, it will be necessary to calculate the V value proposed by Dunn-Ranking and King (1969) applying an adaptation to the formula by López-Yarto and Morales (1985).…”

Today the Higher Education Institutions are immersed in a world of constant change, and it is necessary to adapt to this environment with skill and speed. This has forced universities to adopt practices that create or strengthen their capacity to innovate, based on the determination of factors that influence it positively. This study is centered on the implementation of the Innovation Model of Higher Education (MIES) prepared by Villa, Escotet and Goni (2007), adapted to the university context. This model allows Higher Education Institutions to diagnose their innovative capacity. This model is developed in the field of academic innovation, which is defined as the organizational competence of institutions to respond to the environment quickly enough, to cover existing needs and to anticipate future ones. As a case study, MIES was applied to Ecuadorian universities where the perception of different university actors was obtained and the factors driving innovation in this context were determined as a reference for the application of strategies promoting innovation.

“…It was important t o verify both the rank order of the items and the psychological distances among them in the native English model before I began a full-fledged effort to address the research questions. I used the variable rank sums method (Dunn-Rankin, 1965,1983Dunn-Rankin & King, 1969;Dunn-Rankin & Wilcoxon, 1966) included in the TRICIR program (Knezek, 1978) t o convert pair-wise comparisons into scale values. This method was an improvement on the pair-wise comparisons approach used in previous studies.…”

I analyzed the mental organizations of two sets of fuzzy lexical items by 70 native speakers (NSs) of English and 185 learners of English as a second language (ESL). They provided pair‐wise comparisons of a set of degree adverbs and a set offrequency terms, respectively. I subjected their judgments to unidimensional scaling and circular triad analysis, which indicated that: (a) despite their apparent familiarity with the items, ESL learners' semantic organizations deviated from the NSs' model; (b) the location and extent of semantic mismatch can be identified at different levels of ESL proficiency; (c) consistent approximation to the target model improved as ESL proficiency improves; (d) the structural stability of an individual's private semantic model is not readily generalizable between sets of lexical items or levels of proficiency; and (el consensus among ESL learners improves as proficiency increases. The findings suggest that a discernible approximative pattern exists in the acquisition of ESL semantics, with the differentiation of certain words acquired before the differentiation of others.
