Purpose – In the digital age, constant changes in libraries inform contemporary building design. An innovative library building design is a complicated process and can be viewed as a continuous process of the use of tacit and explicit knowledge and innovative tools and approaches. Knowledge management (KM) can bring about the much needed innovation, and transform tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. For the design of a library to be successful, it is necessary to apply KM to library building design. The purpose of this paper is to look at key change impacts, to explore how to manage knowledge in building design and to identify key design principles. Design/methodology/approach – This paper looks at key change impacts, explores how to manage knowledge in library building design and pinpoints design principles. Findings – This paper finds that KM can be vital to library building design, and it can be used in all stages: to examine the internal and external environments, transform tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge by using portals, and analyze existing and future issues and trends. When effectively used, KM will result in innovative design strategies and also will reduce the time and costs of the building design and plan processes. The main principles of library building design are flexibility, accessibility, safety and security, applicability, adaptability, efficiency, and sustainability. Practical implications – This paper provides a useful overview of how to manage knowledge in library building design and design principles. Originality/value – The views, discussions, and suggestions will be of value to improve the effectiveness of library building design.

A data driven control design approach in the frequency domain is used to design track following feedback controllers for dual-stage hard disk drives using multiple data measurements. The advantage of the data driven approach over model based approach is that, in the former approach the controllers are directly designed from frequency responses of the plant, hence avoiding any model mismatch. The feedback controller is considered to have a Sensitivity Decoupling Structure. The data driven approach utilizes H∞ and H2 norms as the control objectives. The H∞ norm is used to shape the closed loop transfer functions and ensure closed loop stability. The H2 norm is used to constrain and/or minimize the variance of the relevant signals in time domain. The control objectives are posed as a locally convex optimization problem. Two design strategies for the dual-stage hard disk drive are presented.

Knowledge Management (KM) atau manajemen pengetahuan sangat diperlukan untuk masyarakat Indonesia yang begitu banyak populasinya yaitu sampai mencapai angka 268 juta jiwa (Badan Pusat Statistik 2019). Apabila pengembangan sumber daya manusia dikelola dengan baik, maka akan menjadi bonus demografi. Sebaliknya, apabila sumber daya manusia tidak dikelola dengan baik akan menjadi bencana demografi. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh knowledge management terhadap kolaborasi tenaga kesehatan pada manajemen puskesmas di Sulawesi Selatan. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif. Metode penelitian Eksperimen: posttest only control design, yaitu dengan membandingkan kelompok pertama yang diberi perlakuan (kelas eksperimen) dan kelompok kedua yang tidak mendapat perlakuan (kelas kontrol). Dalam penelitian ini yang menjadi variabel bebas adalah Knowledge Management sedangkan variabel terikatnya adalah Kolaborasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan kelompok intervensi dengan model pembelajaran strategi Expeiental Learning dan kelompok kedua sebagai kelompok kontrol dengan Direct Learning. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Knowledge management sosialisasi tidak berpengaruh terhadap kolaborasi. Knowledge management eksternalisasi tidak berpengaruh terhadap kolaborasi. Knowledge management kombinasi tidak berpengaruh terhadap kolaborasi dan Knowledge management internalisasi tidak berpengaruh terhadap kolaborasi tenaga Kesehatan di puskesmas. Kesimpulan Penelitian ini di ukur menggunakan kelompok intervesi dan kontrol yang menunjukkan bahwasanya Knowledge managementtidak signifikan terhadap kolaborasi. Lebih lanjut kedua kelas tersebut, baik kelas intervensi maupun kelas kontrol melakukan kolaborasi di Puskesmas. Karena hasil menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan atau pengaruh baik kelompok intervensi maupun kelompok kontrol, keduanya harus melakukan lokakaryamini puskesmas.

The main purpose of this paper is to examine usage and peculiarities of knowledge management in supply chain. The paper first emphasizes the role and importance of knowledge management in contemporary organizations and heightened need for management of knowledge in organizations. In nowadays business environment, there is an intensive collaboration between organizations outside their boundaries and where supply chains are becoming important element, knowledge management represent an important tool for knowledge application process among supply chain partners. The paper examines usage of knowledge in frame of supply chain and outline potentials and possible drawbacks of knowledge utilization in supply chain. Results reveal that knowledge management is not among top used management practices worldwide and well-developed areas, like North America and well-developed parts of Europe, while knowledge management is higher ranked in emerging economies from Central and East Europe (i.e., Slovenia and Croatia) than other areas, like North America, Latin America, well-developed part of Europe.

SUMMARYIt is standard now in undergraduate and graduate courses in robotics to teach the basic concepts of position control design strategies. Due to the geared motors inherent in most educational and industrial manipulators, sophisticated control design strategies such as the inverse dynamics technique cannot be easily demonstrated in a laboratory setting. A direct drive 5-bar-linkage manipulator with reduced motor torque requirements is proposed in this paper for such a purpose. The manipulator dynamics are easily understood by undergraduates and an inverse dynamics control strategy is suggested which can be easily designed by students at the undergraduate level.
