The introduction of low-profile consoles into shipboard operations room opens new possibilities to design its spatial layout. A modeling study was conducted to examine six layout options by manipulating two design factors: console orientation and supervisor seat assignment. The quality of each option was evaluated algorithmically based on its support to operator interaction. The results revealed the strengths and weaknesses of each design: face-to-face was found to be superior for supporting visual and auditory communication, face-to-back was better at facilitating tactile interaction, whereas back-to-back was preferable for an operations room where extensive interaction involved operators moving to one another’s workstations. Benefits were also predicted for configurations where supervisors were assigned to a side seat, primarily for improving the cost scores of tactile and distance interaction links. Results from this study strongly support the inclusion of faceto-face setup and alternative supervisor seating assignment as options in future shipboard operations room design.

The Cost

We assessed the costs of psychiatric inpatient care-planning consultations to remote areas using videoconferencing, instead of the conventional face-to-face consultations at a hospital. The data were collected from all wards at the department of psychiatry of Oulu University Hospital over 11 months. A total of 14 videoconferences were conducted with two primary-care centres located 220 km and 160 km from Oulu. During the same period, 20 conventional consultations at the Oulu University Hospital were also assessed. A questionnaire was completed by a total of 124 patients, relatives and health-care personnel; the response rate was about 90%. Of the respondents, 90% were satisfied with the quality of communication afforded by videoconferencing. At a workload of 20 patients per year, the cost of the videoconferences was FM2510 per patient; the cost of the conventional alternative was FM4750 per patient. At 50 care consultations per year, a remote municipality would save about FM117,000.

Invasive Techniques

The article analyzes the world experience in methods of applying of stomach nutritional fistula. Different methods of gastrostomy are described, their classification is given. The advantages and disadvantages of common surgeries are outlined. The most often used traditional surgeries are: gastrostomy by Stamm, Topver and tubular gastrostomy. Complication rate of these operations led to a further search for minimally invasive techniques: percutaneous puncture, laparoscopic gastrostomy, and laparoscopically- assisted percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. A significant disadvantage of minimally invasive puncture techniques is the need to purchase relatively expensive disposable sets for primary installation and replaceable low profile tubes. The cost of these supplies in Russia is much higher than the money allocated in the obligate medical insurance system, which makes the method economically unprofitable for medical institutions and patients. Partially, the costs could be reduced by the use, as a gastrostomy tube, a Foley urinary catheter. There are several studies that have confirmed economic advantages and absence of a reliable difference in the number of complications and duration of use such tubes. However, some complications are reported: migration of catheter into the duodenum with the development of obstruction, decreased comfort and quality of life. The conducted study showed absence of classification of gastrostomy types and their complications. The final consensus in clinical use of different types of gastrostomy in different situations is absent. There is a tendency to decrease rate of traditional laparotomical operations in favor of less invasive interventions making it difficult for adequate analyzing. In cases with need for revision, biopsy and fundoplication, laparoscopic or laparoscopically-assisted percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomies are preferred which has proven itself in children. For a group of palliative patients of elderly age with high risk and doubtful prognosis, minimally invasive puncture gastrostomes are more appropriate.

The curriculum is the most important element in the educational process. The curriculum is constantly changing in order to find the perfect formula to improve the quality of education. The change is not only caused by the development of science and technology, but social aspects or even a disaster can also be the factors for changing curriculum. Such as non-natural disasters, which have attacked Indonesia since March 2020, namely the COVID-19 Pandemic. The pandemic demands that education managers in each institution to innovate in compiling a curriculum that can be implemented effectively and efficiently. Such as the child-friendly curriculum implemented in MI Barokah At-Tahdzib. The study aims to explain the implementation of the child-friendly curriculum at MI Barokah At-Tahdzib during the Covid 19 Pandemic. The method used is a qualitative method with interactive model data analysis techniques. The results of this study indicate that the child-friendly curriculum is implemented by 1) implementing offline learning while still paying attention to health protocols 2) Creating study groups consisting of a maximum of 12 children to reduce social and physical distance with a learning duration of 1.5-2 hours 3) Assessment Learning cognitive and psychomotor aspects carried out in a network via Whatsapp and google form, the cost of sending affective aspects is carried out by observation techniques when face-to-face group learning

Recent developments producing new Internet conferencing (IC) and multipoint desktop conferencing (MDC) systems have emerged, which may supersede text-based and audio/video conferencing (AVC) software. The newer IC or MDC systems also integrate interactive tools and have the advantage of operating at a fraction of the cost when compared to AVC systems. Communication by face to face methods are important within the learning process, but can online methods that incorporate sound, video, and integrated online tools be as effective? AVC systems within higher education (HE) have been available for some time although the quality of such approaches, however, has been open to question. This chapter evaluates an exploratory study of one MDC application, “Voice Café,” in a higher education, business school setting. For commercial distinctiveness, the academic application of this software was called “VIPER” (voice Internet protocol extended reach). Consideration is given to the software itself in terms of its features, pedagogic aspects, and how students and faculty viewed its use.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and discuss the involvement in sustainable development of French event companies, mostly by identifying facilitators and barriers to their sustainability strategy. Based on the results, some recommendations are provided, which aim at increasing the sustainability of French event companies. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on face-to-face and semi-structured interviews with six directors and top managers of French event companies and a consultant in sustainable tourism. The data collected were analysed through a content analysis. Findings This paper identified different motivations and barriers regarding the involvement of French event companies in sustainability. The main motivations are personal conviction, a greater satisfaction for clients and a cost similar to the one of non-sustainable events. The main barriers are a difficulty in comparing the cost of sustainable and non-sustainable events, a low demand for sustainable events, a lower quality of materials and greenwashing, the issue of measuring sustainability and a profusion of labels. Practical implications As the directors of French event companies interviews do believe in the value of sustainability, they should educate their clients and employees towards sustainability. They should also find ways to demonstrate that the price of a sustainable event is not higher than a non-sustainable one. Originality/value This paper focusses on the sustainability of event companies in France, comparing companies that are highly involved in sustainability and others that are not involved. In the field of events research, most studies focussed on the degree of sustainability of specific events, whereas this study deals with the sustainability of corporate events companies.

The article discusses possible forms of educational STEM projects in the field of electronics and device control using Arduino controllers. As you know, the implementation of such STEM projects can be carried out not only using various electronic constructors, but also using virtual modeling environments. The knowledge obtained during modeling in virtual environments makes it possible to increase the efficiency of face-to-face practical training with a real constructor, and to improve the quality of students’ knowledge. The use of virtual modeling environments in combination with the use of real constructors provides links between distance and full-time learning. A real constructors can be used simultaneously by both the teacher and the student, jointly practicing the features of solving practical problems. The article provides examples of using a virtual environment for preliminary prototyping of circuits available in the documentation for electronic constructors, to familiarize students with the basics of designing and assembling electronic circuits using the surface mounting method and on a breadboard, as well as programming controllers on the Arduino platform that control electronic devices. This approach allows students to accelerate the assimilation of various interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of natural sciences using STEM design.
