The article is devoted to the results of an actual study, the purpose of which was to develop and implement design solutions for adaptively supporting configurations of the “1C: Enterprise 8.3” platform for subsequent practical application in the development of typical configurations for solving applied problems of small and medium-sized enterprises. The relevance of the study is determined by several positions. Firstly, the introduction of information technologies in the most important sectors of the economy helps to increase labor productivity, improve the overall investment climate in Russia, and helps to reduce the dependence of the country’s economy on commodity exports. Secondly, the low degree of realization of the potential of boxed solutions is due to the fact that many enterprises relate to the implementation and subsequent maintenance of such solutions as technical projects, not taking into account their business component. Thirdly, in some cases, when purchasing a replicated solution, it needs to be adapted to business requirements and the new IT infrastructure. Adaptation is carried out at the implementation stage or at the stage of supporting the implemented solution. However, the success of such work depends not only on the implementation and support specialists, but also on the availability of descriptions of specific rules, actions, and work that must be performed. At the same time, a lack of logically structured recommendations on their adaptation after acquisition and implementation is noticeable. The study took place in two stages. At the theoretical and methodological stage, a study of the subject area was carried out. The use of structural and object-oriented analysis and design tools made it possible to analyze the business processes of transferring data from the existing BOSS-Kadrovik automated system (AS) to 1C: ZUP, as well as the process of writing off material balances from account 10 to “1C: Accounting 3.0”, identify problem areas (analysis of IDEF0 functional models) and formulate the image and boundaries of the project (requirements model in the form of a use case diagram – Use Case). Selected adaptive support options were determined in accordance with the support rules recommended by 1C when implementing standard implementation technology. For the “1C: Salary and Enterprise Management 3.1” configuration, it was decided to develop a configuration extension, for adapting the “1C: Accounting 3.0” configuration, the creation of external processing. The design phase of work on the topic of this study involved the development of design solutions for the adaptation of the indicated configurations. At the same time, data models were developed at the logical and physical levels, the requirements for information support in the form of database directories were formulated. In addition, the dynamic component of the solutions being developed was examined, namely, the transitions of some objects from one state to another when fulfilling the selected precedents and the results of the state change. For these purposes, a special type of UML diagram technique was used – activity diagrams. Implementation of design solutions for adaptive configuration support was carried out on the 1C: Enterprise 8.3 platform. Testing the implemented solutions yielded positive results. In addition, the cost of adaptive support was calculated. In the calculation, the time norms for the configuration stage proposed by 1C were taken into account.

New Look

Based on the popularity of the birth control pill (“The Pill”), its economic importance, and its role as a daily component of the modern woman's environment and lifestyle, we decided to study pill usage habits and the cognitive and behavioral causes of noncompliance. Our findings led us to suggest design solutions to promote consistency of use and improve attitudes toward the pill. We conducted a field study of birth control pill dispensers, performed a task analysis of pill taking, and distributed a detailed questionnaire among 380 Israeli women. Our suggestions for improving compliance include incorporating memory aids, creating better packaging design, and reducing the medical stigma of the pill by positioning it as a designed, daily lifestyle item.

Analysis Of Time Series

This paper presents a novel visualization technique to perform a task analysis using only information from data logs collected from users interacting with the system. Traditional task analysis includes data acquired from system specifications, observations of the user interacting with the system, and interviews with the user. There are however situations, in which this information is not available such as forensic investigations. In situations in which these other data sources are available, the visualization approach provides an additional tool the analysist can use to further their understanding of the system and begin qualitatively and quantitatively describing a user’s behavior. As a demonstration of this technique, data logs from a microworld simulator, the Grid Game, were analyzed using a custom designed python based graphing tool. The Grid Game is a gamified and simplified simulation of an electric microgrid. Teams of players compete by maintaining and optimizing their grid configuration in the presence of cyber-attacks. Several different visualization graphing techniques were examined to identify their suitability for representing the grid event data in a format capable to support an analyst performing a task analysis. The most suitable graphing technique for this particular use case was a discrete event graphing technique including a common time dimension to provide performance based context to the graphical depiction of logged simulation events.

Lack of training is only an excuse for not collaborating outside of the therapy room. With our present training, speech-language clinicians have many skills to share in the regular classroom setting. This training has provided skills in task analysis, a language focus, an appreciation and awareness of individual differences in learning, and motivational techniques.

Learning Principles

A response evocation program, some principles underlying its development and administration, and a review of some clinical experiences with the program are presented. Sixty-five children with developmental articulation errors of the /ɝ/ phoneme were administered the program by one of 19 clinicians. Approximately 70% of program administrations resulted in a child emitting a good /ɝ/ within six minutes. Approximately 10% of children who were given additional training on program step failures emitted good /ɝ/'s in subsequent sessions. These preliminary observations are discussed in relation to the role of task analysis and motor skills learning principles in response evocation, clinician influences in program outcomes, and professional issues in service delivery to children with developmental articulation errors.
