Introduction: The volcanic eruption of the #MeToo movement shows that the problem was there for long and was simmering on. The movement was initiated with the aim of knowing the magnitude of the problem and has now spread worldwide. The cases of the Me Too sexual wave are recent and have not yet attracted much scientific attention, though literature on sexual harassment is widely available and the psychological mechanisms implicated in this movement can be understood and examined through it. Objectives: This article aims to attract attention of the medical fraternity to update themselves of this issue which is essential for better understanding of the movement which has potentially good, bad, and ugly undercurrents. We will call attention to these aspects perusing the literature both at national and international levels. This would also be subjected to an analysis of the established concepts and principles of human psychology and behavior. Conclusion: It is amply clear that the time for sweeping things under the carpet is over and the catharsis that flooded the social media, print media, and TV just show how important it is to make the future workplace fair to both genders.

This paper presents a three-phase computational methodology for making informed design decisions when determining the allocation of work and the interaction modes for human-robot teams. The methodology highlights the necessity to consider constraints and dependencies in the work and the work environment as a basis for team design, particularly those dependencies that arise within the dynamics of the team’s collective activities. These constraints and dependencies form natural clusters in the team’s work, which drive the team’s performance and behavior. The proposed methodology employs network visualization and computational simulation of work models to identify dependencies resulting from the interplay of taskwork distributed between teammates, teamwork, and the work environment. Results from these analyses provide insight into not only team efficiency and performance, but also quantified measures of required teamwork, communication, and physical interaction. The paper describes each phase of the methodology in detail and demonstrates each phase with a case study examining the allocation of work in a human-robot team for space operations.

Pharmacies and health professionals, including Pharmacists, assistant Pharmacists, and the cashier is one of the groups most at risk of contracting the virus Covid-19 during the pandemic Covid 19 dispensaries a place that is often accessible to the public because it provides services to the needs of the patient medications. Based on these problems, then do the activities to protect the workplace to reduce the risk of transmission in the workplace and pharmacies keep doing every drug but not be the area of transmission of the virus Covid-19. The purpose of community service is to improve the awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and behavior through training and education protocol-related health in the workplace the right so that can create a healthy work environment. Activities conducted June 17, 18,24 and 25 September 2021 environment dispensary in West Jakarta. The activities of 17-18 September 2021 conduct a preliminary survey to fill out the questionnaire with the google form linked the use of masks in the workplace, the habit of washing hands and clean the work place. The results of the questionnaire of 26 respondents was 15.4% of the respondents do not use the mask for work, the 23.1% of the respondents rarely use mask properly, a 34.6% rarely wash hands before work ,23,1% not important to wash hands before and after work and 23.1 % not important clean work environment with a disinfectant and clean the work place before and after work. PKM September 24, 2021 is the practice of how to wash hands in accordance with the recommendation of the Ministry of health, using the appropriate mask and face shield in the workplace. PKM activity carried out from September 25, 2021 manufacture means the place of hand washing common, put up a plastic barrier and spraying disinfectant in the area pharmacies. The activities of a community service program implemented well, after the implementation of community service activities is then the habit of washing hands before and after work, consumers wash their hands with water in place of washing hands before going into the area of the dispensary, the mask is worn according to the rules can continue to be done so that there is increased awareness of the workers and consumers in the workplace to create a healthy working environment during the pandemic.Apotik dan tenaga kesehatan termasuk Apoteker, asisten Apoteker serta kasir merupakan salah satu kelompok yang paling berisiko tertular virus Covid-19 karena selama pandemi Covid 19 apotik tempat yang sering diakses masyarakat karena memberikan pelayanan untuk kebutuhan obat pasien. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut maka dilakukan kegiatan untuk melindungi tempat kerja  untuk  menurunkan  risiko penularan di tempat kerja dan apotik tetap melakukan pelayanan obat tetapi tidak menjadi area penularan virus Covid-19. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian adalah meningkatkan  kesadaran, pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku melalui pelatihan serta edukasi  terkait protokol kesehatan ditempat kerja yang tepat sehingga dapat menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang sehat. Kegiatan dilakukan tanggal 17, 18,24 dan 25 September 2021 dilingkungan apotik di Jakarta Barat. Kegiatan tanggal 17-18 September 2021 melakukan survei awal mengisi kuisioner dengan google form terkait penggunaan masker ditempat kerja, kebiasaan mencuci tangan serta membersihkan tempat kerja. Hasil kuisioner dari 26 responden adalah  15,4 % responden  tidak penting menggunakan masker selama bekerja, 23,1% responden jarang menggunakan masker dengan tepat, 34,6% jarang mencuci tangan sebelum bekerja ,23,1% tidak penting mencuci tangan sebelum dan sesudah bekerja dan 23,1 % tidak penting membersihkan lingkungan kerja dengan desinfektan serta membersihkan tempat kerja sebelum dan sesudah bekerja. Kegiatan PKM tanggal 24 September 2021 adalah praktik cara mencuci tangan sesuai anjuran Kemenkes, menggunakan masker yang tepat serta face shield ditempat kerja. Kegiatan PKM yang dilakukan tanggal 25 September 2021 pembuatan sarana tempat cuci tangan umum, memasang plastik pembatas dan penyemprotan desinfektan di area apotik. Kegiatan program pengabdian masyarakat terlaksana dengan baik, setelah terlaksananya kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini maka kebiasaan  mencuci tangan sebelum dan setelah bekerja, konsumen mencuci tangan dengan air di tempat cuci tangan  sebelum masuk  ke area apotik, masker dipakai sesuai aturan dapat terus terlaksana sehingga terjadi peningkatan kesadaran pekerja serta konsumen ditempat kerja untuk menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang sehat selama pandemi.

Purpose Analyzing how and what the local multi-utility AIMAG learned through the 2012 Northern Italy earthquakes, the purpose of this paper is to “normalize” the organizational learning (OL) triggered by disasters. Design/methodology/approach Seven managers who experienced the earthquakes were interviewed. The collected data are supplemented by archival materials. The analysis was conducted based on the 4I model (Crossan et al., 1999), using the qualitative data analysis tool “NVivo.” Findings The earthquakes audited AIMAG’s knowledge repositories, revealing its weakness and strength. When the earthquakes struck, individuals intuited the situations based on their previous experience, interpreting the need to respond to the interruptions and begin recovery immediately. The collective interpretation formed the basis for joint actions, which integrated the group learning at the organizational level. The effective cognition and behavior were instituted to the organization, and the new knowledge was absorbed into the organization’s knowledge repositories awaiting the next audit. Originality/value The concept of “learning through disasters” is advocated. By perceiving disasters as a series of interruptions that may have happened before and may re-occur, the learning is connected to organizations’ past and future through knowledge repositories. In addition, by analyzing data based on the multi-level OL model, the learning triggered by disasters was observed to occur throughout the organization at individual, group and organizational levels, in which routines played a critical linking role.

Interpersonal skill (interpersonal ability) is the ability to recognize and respond appropriately to one's feelings, attitudes and behavior, motivations and desires. This ability is very necessary because in everyday life it is almost impossible for humans not to relate to other people. In the scheme of living together arises the need to understand the needs of other human beings. Good and effective interpersonal communication skills are needed by humans so that they can carry out all their activities smoothly. Especially when someone performs activities in formal situations, for example in a work environment. More importantly, when a person's work activities are face-to-face with other people, most of the activities are interpersonal communication activities

In order to cope with the complexity of today’s digital systems in diagnostic modeling, hierarchical multi-level approaches should be used. In this chapter, the possibilities of using Decision Diagrams (DD) for uniform diagnostic modeling of digital systems at different levels of abstraction are discussed. DDs can be used for modeling the functions and faults of systems at logic, register transfer and behavior like instruction set architecture levels. The authors differentiate two general types of DDs – logic level binary DDs (BDD) and high level DDs (HLDD). Special classes of BDDs are described: structurally synthesized BDDs (SSBDD) and structurally synthesized BDDs with multiple inputs (SSMIBDD). A method of iterative synthesis of SSBDDs and SSMIBDDs is discussed. Three methods for synthesis of HLDDs for representing digital systems at higher levels are described: iterative superposition of HLDDs for high-level structural representations of systems, symbolic execution of procedural descriptions for functional representations of systems, and creation of vector HLDDs (VHLDD) on the basis of using shared HLDDs for compact representing of a given set of high level functions. The nodes in DDs can be modeled as generic locations of faults. For more precise general specification of faults different logic constraints are used. A functional fault model to map the low level faults to higher levels, particularly, to map physical defects from transistor level to logic level is discussed.

Cross-temporal and cross-situational variability are unifying characteristics of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Ambulatory assessment (AA) has been used to directly assess and quantify this variability in terms of the categorical BPD diagnosis, but growing evidence suggests that BPD instead reflects general personality pathology. This study aimed to clarify the conceptualization of BPD by mapping indices of variability in affect, interpersonal behavior, and perceptions of others onto a dimensional model of personality pathology. We studied a pooled sample of individuals that met diagnostic criteria for BPD (n=129) and healthy controls (n=47) who reported on their interactions throughout the day during a 21-day AA protocol. Multi-level structural equation modeling was used to examine associations between shared and specific variance in maladaptive traits with affect, perceptions, and behavior in social interactions. We found that variability is a clear indicator of shared trait variance, suggesting BPD is best understood as general personality pathology.
