Effective management of a gas turbine development programme under commercial airline pressures demands very careful balancing of two separate cycling commodities. One is experimental engines and component parts or ‘hardware’. The other is data, information and conclusions, hereafter referred to collectively as ‘decisionware’. While techniques for hardware management are well documented, equivalent techniques for planning, monitoring and motivating decisionware activities are less developed. This paper describes experimental methods which have been evolved, and applied to some development activities within the Derby Engine Group of Rolls-Royce Limited. These methods include simulation modelling and performance monitoring of a staff organization and aim to achieve higher combined effectiveness of the two meshing cycles described. The work occupied a period of one man year and has applications in development associated departments outside the original field of study.

Abstract: Static archives are types of archives that have historical value for the institution that created the archive, and the information contained in the archive supports the sustainable development activities of an institution. Therefore, effective management implementation is needed. Performance management is one of the processes conducted in order to be able to complete the archiving activities efficiently and effectively. This study aims to describe performance management in managing archives during the Covid-19 pandemic. The methodology used in this study is qualitative descriptive. This study is built upon Michael Armstrong’s performance management model to specifically describe the planning to performance evaluation stages. The results show that the performance archive management is carried out by following the rules and performance lines that have been set by adjusting the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic. This can be seen from (1) the planning stage under the virtual implementation processes in accordance to applicable bureaucratic rules and the production of several reference documents, (2) implementation stage where archivists carried out management in a flexi-time manner by referring to the performance plan, (3) performance monitoring that is carried out through the staffing system, and (4) internal evaluation that is done in the archive center unit as well as by the relevant institution Keywords: performance management, static archives, Covid-19 pandemic period Abstrak: Arsip statis merupakan jenis arsip yang memiliki nilai guna kesejarahan bagi lembaga pencipta arsip.

Special services provided by schools to students are generally the same, but different on the process of the management and utilization. Some form of special services in school is the service: councelling, libraries, laboratories, extracurricular, infirmary, cafeteria, cooperatives, OSIS, transport, boarding, acceleration, class inclusion, and apprentice. As a special service management functions include: (1) planning, such as needs analysis and programming of special services; (2) the organization, such as the division of tasks to carry out special service program; (3) in motion, in the form of the settings in the implementation of special services, and (4) control, in the form of program monitoring and performance assessment special services program in school. So that special services should be managed with effective management processes in order to strengthen the management process of education, particularly at the school level.

Formation to build character in the digital era in the world of education through the development of ethical values and performance support to form the foundation of individual characters expected. Developments in the digital era influence individual lifestyles and patterns of relationships so as to form a new paradigm for helping human needs in carrying out the duties and expectations. The purpose of building character besides having benefits also have a negative impact can be described in the attitudes and behavior of individuals, which occurs demoralisasasi. The method used in building individual character that balance the mind / creativity, feeling / sense of, and willingness / intention in executing their daily duties. The result is an imbalance in the event over them in carrying out daily activities using irrational thoughts, dishonest, irresponsible, did not have a good work ethic. How to cope with the character education should play an active role in shaping the students to have a good character, capable of being honest, responsible, disciplined, passionate, creative and communication skills to achieve success both socially and career aligned with technology development is very fast and sophisticated. The characters develop their conclusion to follow up the results of studies showing that the majority of a person in carrying out daily activities always use excessive feelings so that there is an imbalance between thought, feeling and will

ABSTRACT Seven short cases highlight the need for organizational control of the use of social technology. Executives now consider the management of social technology strategies and risks to be their fourth highest priority, investing significant resources to develop effective social technology use policies (Carrick et al. 2013; Deloitte 2012; Feltham and Nichol 2012). Moreover, organizations vary their social technology investment choices depending on their objectives and their target audiences (AICPA 2013; Gallaugher and Ransbotham 2010; Kaplan and Haenlein 2010). A wide variety of case learning objectives involve applying internal control models, and developing and justifying opinions about how social technology uses and abuses affect operational, financial reporting and regulatory compliance objectives, risks, controls, and performance-monitoring activities. Instructors may utilize one or more of these cases at a time, either individually or in student groups, and in undergraduate or graduate financial accounting, accounting information systems, governance, or auditing courses.

Programmable Integrated Photonics (PIP) is a new paradigm that aims at designing common integrated optical hardware configurations, which by suitable programming can implement a variety of functionalities that, in turn, can be exploited as basic operations in many application fields. Programmability enables by means of external control signals both chip reconfiguration for multifunction operation as well as chip stabilization against non-ideal operation due to fluctuations in environmental conditions and fabrication errors. Programming also allows activating parts of the chip, which are not essential for the implementation of a given functionality but can be of help in reducing noise levels through the diversion of undesired reflections. After some years where the Application Specific Photonic Integrated Circuit (ASPIC) paradigm has completely dominated the field of integrated optics, there is an increasing interest in PIP justified by the surge of a number of emerging applications that are and will be calling for true flexibility, reconfigurability as well as low-cost, compact and low-power consuming devices. This book aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to this emergent field covering aspects that range from the basic aspects of technologies and building photonic component blocks to the design alternatives and principles of complex programmable photonics circuits, their limiting factors, techniques for characterization and performance monitoring/control and their salient applications both in the classical as well as in the quantum information fields. The book concentrates and focuses mainly on the distinctive features of programmable photonics as compared to more traditional ASPIC approaches.
