Private And Public

In the article, the authors consider the specifics of the term social technology and the use of social technology tools. The study is based on the fundamental ideas of sociology, comparative analysis, and interdisciplinary approach. The theoretical study is based on conceptual works and research results of Russian and foreign authors devoted to the analysis of the use of social technologies of management. It was determined, which tools are public and which-private. In the article, the authors present the results of an empirical study of the ideological and personnel tools of social technology in the management system. The assignment of social technology is the optimization of the managerial process for obtaining a socio-economic result. The management system, that functioning in the organization, is having the main share of the influence on the effectiveness of the company. Few managers are apt to revise the management principles. In the course of the study, a method of further training and career advancement has been demonstrated in the framework of personnel management, it has been established, that this method is not always effective. For social management, the problems of finding the most effective, existing tools that used in the areas of transformative or corrective social practice are still relevant. Management tools used within social technology of management are multiform. These include ideological, staffing, technological, socio-economic, and informational. It should be noted that the object of management – has a certain influence on what tools will be more effective. Rather, it is effective in different organizations on the different working conditions and gender affiliation. To improve management efficiency, it is necessary to use optimal tools in the technology of practical activity. Social experiments were conducted. Were selected organizations that are in the field of ‘Production’ (N = 40), ‘Trade’ (N = 45), ‘Construction’ (N = 50). To the tools of social technology in the management system belong ideological, staffing, technological, socio-economic, information. Ideological and personnel only were used. Tools can have public and private character. The results obtained in the study make it possible to supplement theoretical sociology in the aspect of sociology of management. The data obtained in the course of the experiment allowed establishing that the ideological management tool as a mission is not sufficiently used in organizations. Two principles are analyzed, the first is connected with personal connections, acquaintances, recommendations; the second principle was based on ads in the media, the Internet and public channels of communication. It has been established that age matters for men working in construction organizations. In organizations, management tools such as reassignment to higher positions, the ‘The board of honor’, are underused. The advanced training at the organization expense practically not used. At the respondents of the trade organization were not involved such personal motives as respect from the side of a Head, respect from the side of colleagues, and awareness of the social significance of their work. Most often, respondents point out such a way of training personnel as on-the-job training. This gives a certain positive result regardless of the organization. The research results can be used in further work on the problems of the tools of management.

There is a big confusion related to the functions performed by the content management system, some products are also there which does not show full performance. These products are web content management system, managing records and documents, and some enterprise managing content. This research paper help in finding the mismatching between the customer needs and the product information. The article includes the differences in the functions of the content management system and other systems which are used for companies.to manage documents, techniques are needed and require a lot of information to store, manage, and retrieve. Many software is available to keep the record of the data to store the information and manage the data. One of them is the Enterprise Content Management tool which helps in finding solutions regarding the context. The products of content management are dissected, linked, examined by using a table to figure out the functions of the market products. This paper shows the confusion in the framework on the demand side, and at the same time feedback on confusion in the supply side by decreasing the satisfaction of the company in respect of knowledge and information management.

Specimen Management

Symbiota (Gries et al. 2014) is an open-source software platform designed to function as a biodiversity Content Management System (CMS) for specimen-based datasets. Primarily in North America though also increasingly on other continents, the Symbiota software platform has risen to prominence in the past ten years as one of the more heavily accessed mid-level aggregation tools for assembling, managing, and distributing datasets associated with biological collections. There are more than 50 public Symbiota portals being managed and promoted by various biodiversity projects and communities. Together, these portals assist in the distribution and mobilization of more than 55 million specimen and 20 million image records associated with hundreds of institutions. The central premise of a standard Symbiota installation is to function as a mini-aggregator capable of integrating multiple occurrence datasets that collectively represent a community-based research data perspective. Datasets are typically limited to geographic and taxonomic scopes that best represent the community of researchers leading the project. Symbiota portals often publish "snapshot records" that originate from external management systems but otherwise align with the portal's community of practice and data focus. Specimen management tools integrated into the Symbiota platform also support the ability to manage occurrence data directly within the portal as “live datasets”. The software has become widely adopted as a data management platform. Approximately 550 specimen datasets consisting of more than 14 million specimen records are being directly managed within a portal instance. The appeal of Symbiota as an occurrence management tool is also exemplified by the fact that 18 of the 30 federally funded Thematic Collection Networks (https://www.idigbio.org/content/thematic-collections-networks) have elected to use Symbiota as their central data management system. Symbiota's well-developed data ingestion tools, coupled with the ability to store import profile definitions, allows data snapshots to be partially coordinated with source data managed within a variety of remote systems such as Specify (https://specifysoftware.org), EMu (https://emu.axiell.com), Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT, https://gbif.org/ipt) publishers, as well as other Symbiota instances. As with Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio) publishing models, data snapshots are periodically refreshed, based on transfer protocols compliant with Darwin Core (DwC) data exchange standards. The Symbiota data management tools provide the means for the community of experts running the portal to annotate and augment snapshot datasets with the goal of improving the overall fitness-for-use of the aggregated dataset. Even though a data refresh from the source dataset would effectively replace the data improvement with the original flawed data, the system’s ability to maintain data versioning of all annotations made within the portal allows data improvements to be reapplied. However, inadequate support for bi-directional data flow between the portal and the source collection effectively isolates the annotations within the portal. On one hand, the mini-aggregator model of Symbiota can be viewed as compounding the further fragmentation of occurrence data. Rather than conforming to the vision of pushing data from the source, to the global aggregators and ultimately the research community, specimen data are being pushed from source collections to a growing array of mini-aggregators. On the other hand, community portals have the ability to incentivize experts and enthusiasts to publish high-quality, "data-intelligent" biodiversity data products with the potential of channeling data improvements back to the source. This presentation will begin with a historical review of the development of the Symbiota model including major shifts in the evolution of the development goals. We will discuss the benefits and shortcomings of the data model and provide a description of schema modifications that are currently in development. We will also discuss the successes and challenges associated with building data commons directly associated with communities of researchers. We will address the software’s role in mobilizing occurrence data within North America and the efficacy of adhering to the FAIR use principles of making datasets findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (Wilkinson et al. 2016). Finally, we will discuss interoperability developments that we hope will improve the flow of data annotations between decentralized networks of data portals and the original data providers at the source.

Russian research projects on longevity are actively proceeding in line with social constructivism. Since Russian researchers, according to some Western theorists (P. Bourdieu, K. Popper, D. Buettner and others), have long been held captive by historicist il-lusions, it is fundamentally important that the concept of longevity discussed in Russian literature should not be an “utopian” but a “gradual, step-by-step” kind of social engineering as a purposeful activity to improve social reality. It has to include not so-cial practices, but rather technologies because of their greater effectiveness. This article aims to reveal the peculiarity of social technologies of longevity. The main problem is the demarcation between social practices and technology of longevity. The peculiarity of social technologies of longevity in relation to social practices is revealed in the grid of categories, such as spontaneous–conscious (goal), professional–amateur (activity), and scientific–extra-scientific (knowledge). Ideally, any social technology tends to become a practice and get a residence permit in the structures of the everyday world.

Methodical Approach

The paper deals with weather derivatives as the potentially effective risk management tool for agricultural enterprises seeking to mitigate their income exposure to variations in weather conditions. Design and valuation of the weather derivatives is an interdisciplinary approach covering agrometeorology, statistics, mathematical modeling, and financial and risk management. This paper first offers an overview of data sources and then methods of design and valuation of weather derivatives at the regional level. The accompanied case study focuses on cultivation of cereals (wheat and barley) in the Czech Republic. However, its generalizability is straightforward. The analysis of key growing phases of cereals is based on regression analysis using weather indices as the independent variables and crop yields as dependent variables. With the bootstrap tool, the burn analysis is considered as useful tool for estimating uncertainty about the payoff, option price, and statistics of probability distribution of revenues. The results show that the spatial and production basis risks reduce the efficiency of the weather derivatives. Finally, the potential for expansion of weather derivatives remains in the low income countries of Africa and Asia with systemic weather risk.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the relationships between grain farm and farmer profiles and their respective choices to use forward pricing techniques and revenue protection crop insurance to manage risk.Design/methodology/approachAn e-mail survey of Midwestern grain farmers elicited farmer demographic information, farm profile, risk attitudes and farmer use of forward pricing and revenue protection insurance. Responses regarding use of risk management tools were compiled as choices to use possible bundles of tools to account for simultaneous nature of the decision. Choices to use bundles of tools were used as the independent variable categories in a multinomial logit regression. Regressors were relevant data collected from the survey.FindingsFarm size, using a market advisory service, and being a technology adopter are the most important factors in predicting risk management tool use by grain farmers. Farmers tend to use forward pricing and revenue protection insurance in combination. Large farms are more likely to use forward pricing tools.Practical implicationsResults provide researchers, extension professionals and risk management specialists with a current understanding of how farm and farmer characteristics relate to use of risk management tools. The authors also elaborate on findings to provide guidance for future risk management research.Originality/valueThe survey covered 9 Midwestern states and 648 grain farmers. The survey results update understanding of grain farmers’ risk management practices. The empirical approach treats risk management decisions to use available tools as simultaneous, which recent literature suggests is more appropriate than earlier approaches.

Learning Management

The provision of a Learning Management System (LMS) for use in distributed, blended or open distance e-learning as a management tool has become a basic standard requirement in higher learning institutions globally. Many students and lecturers use an LMS in support of innovative and engaged teaching and learning, both inside and outside the classroom—whether blended or open leaning. However, many academics choose not to make use of the institutional LMS. This is the specific issue that this study addresses, with a particular focus on the role played by disciplinary differences in the uptake of an LMS. The research question guiding the study is thus: To what extent do disciplinary differences affect the uptake of an LMS? The research study drew on Legitimation Code Theory, a sociological theory that explains the knowledge principles underpinning practices, in this case, the practice of the uptake (or non-uptake) of an institutional LMS. The study made use of quantitative data collection and data analysis methods, drawing on the institutional LMS activity data. The study found that there was a significant relationship between the disciplines and LMS uptake. However, the study also found a number of unexpected exceptions, where the nature of the discipline did not seem to impact uptake or non-uptake. The contribution that the study makes is to show the significant role that the academics’ home discipline plays in LMS uptake.
