Managing the scope of the “Properties” and “Performances” domains plays a fundamental role in the scheduling and controlling of the wide variety of variables and processes involved in any project, for the purpose of increasing the quality of outputs, which leads to time and budget-saving. Notably, in monument conservation projects, “scope management” is a vital factor targeted at maintaining historical parameter values and accuracy in the number of interferences and occupations on sites. Nowadays, as urbanization speeds up unprecedently, the territories of these heritage sites have been demolished or have lost their place on the World Heritage List. Undoubtedly, the existence of such critical conditions makes it increasingly necessary to apply scope management methods to preserve such archaeological and historic sites across the world. The purpose of this article is to propose a “Comprehensive and Regular Systematic Schedule” for the purpose of monument conservation via the use of scope management, based on the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS)—specifically the Burra Charter (1981). The results of this research include hierarchical levels of management processes which consider all the effective variables, both the tangible and intangible elements (independent factors) and the other weaknesses and opportunities of the project in order to determine the scope of the required operations, which must be scheduled based on historical sites’ conservation charters. In this way, in addition to reviving a cultural landscape’s (cultural heritage or site) essential and valuable parts, unnecessary changes can be avoided.

Abstract. This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of exposure to a computer game on arousal and subsequent task performance. After inducing a state of low arousal, participants were assigned to experimental or control conditions via self-selection. Members of the experimental group played a computer game for five minutes; subjects in the control group spent the same amount of time awaiting further instructions. Participants who were exposed to the computer game showed significantly higher levels of arousal and performed significantly better on a subsequent cognitive task. The pattern of results was not influenced by the participants' prior experience with the game. The findings indicate that mood-management processes associated with personal media use at the workplace go beyond the alteration of arousal and affect subsequent cognitive performance.

The development and expansion of knowledge management as an important management philosophy has a significant impact on human resources management as well as on organization as a whole. In this context, knowledge management processes have been used as a strategic tool within human resources management.Therefore, functions of human resources management must adapt itself to this change. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of human resources management in the management of knowledge and to reveal the effects of knowledge management practices on the functions of human resources byexamining the relationship between human resources and knowledge management. In this context, a theoretical investigation was conducted. It has been determined that significant changes occurred on the functions of human resources management such as selection and recruitment, performance management, remuneration and reward, training and development within the framework of the knowledge management strategies.

To characterize the change management processes, barriers, policies and factors that currently favor medium and large companies of the Sugamuxi Valley. The type and method of study was descriptive – explanatory. The statistical technique used was descriptive analysis using 561 surveys in medium (22) and large (18) Sugamuxi Valley companies. The biggest barriers were: adherence to rules (51.2%), multidisciplinary professions (51%), imposing the criteria of the oldest workers (47.4%) and organizational structure (43.9 %). The stimuli were: support for patents and innovations (93%), support for artistic activities (90%) and scholarships for study (90%), event registration training (79.7%) and transportation to events (82.4%). The research reveals a low culture of change, with a lack of incentives and business forms of adaptability and flexibility.Este artículo muestra la carácterización de los procesos de gestión del cambio, barreras, políticas y factores que actualmente favorecen a las medianas y grandes empresas del Valle de Sugamuxi. El tipo y método de estudio utilizado fue descriptivo - explicativo. La técnica estadística utilizada fue el análisis descriptivo mediante 561 encuestas en medianas (22) y grandes (18) empresas del Valle de Sugamuxi. Los mayores obstáculos fueron: la adhesión a las normas (51,2 %), profesiones multidisciplinares (51 %), imposición de los criterios de los trabajadores más antiguos (47,4 %) y la estructura organizacional (43,9 %). Los estímulos fueron: el apoyo a las patentes e innovaciones (93%), apoyo a las actividades artísticas (90%) y becas de estudio (90 %), registro en eventos de capacitación (79,7 %) y transporte a los eventos (82.4 %). La investigación revela una baja cultura de cambio, con falta de incentivos y formas de negocio de adaptabilidad y flexibilidad.Este artigo apresenta a caracterização dos processos de gestão de mudança, barreiras, políticas e fatores que atualmente favorecem às médias e grandes empresas do Valle de Sugamuxl.
