Abstract Lordan, C., Ó Cuaig, M., Graham, N., and Rihan, D. 2011. The ups and downs of working with industry to collect fishery-dependent data: the Irish experience. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1670–1678. Working with the fishing industry to collect fishery-dependent data for scientific and advisory purposes is essential in most countries, but despite the many advantages of working with fishers, it is not without challenges. The objectives and the ups and downs of 16 recent projects in Ireland are described, and four case studies are discussed in detail. Some common themes that characterize both successful and unsuccessful experiences are identified. One critical aspect is industry's sometimes unrealistic time-horizons and expectations when engaging in scientific data collection. Detailed communication of objectives, procedures, results, and relevance not only to industry representatives, but also to vessel owners and crew, is required throughout the life cycle of a project. For some projects, there is a clear need to include incentives in the design, but for others this is less critical. The critical needs for ongoing quality control and assurance, validation of data, and appropriate project design are discussed, along with the link between successful management systems and participatory research. Finally, comment is provided on how the expected reforms of the EU's Common Fisheries Policy will place new demands on joint research.

Precision And Accuracy

Mycotoxins provide additional challenges to food businesses in terms of successful management of food-safety management systems. These reflect, in part, an unusually high dependency on the activities of others in the supply chain to ensure that levels of contamination remain within set limits. Consequently analyses for mycotoxins by food businesses are primarily commissioned for one or a combination of two reasons: to determine compliance with regulatory or commercial standards or; as part of an exercise to verify the efficacy of the businesses foodsafety management systems. Given the regulatory/commercial implications, the standard of evidence needed to demonstrate (non)compliance will be the greater than that needed for simple verification. Consequently, decisions relating to matters of regulatory or commercial arbitration need to be based on agreed and well defined methods of analysis, which are normally laboratory-based. These data are also often sufficient to be used to verify foodsafety management systems. However, supply conditions may predicate the need for increased levels of verification and rapid mycotoxin test-kits have the potential to both meet this need and satisfy the requirements of statistical process control. Nevertheless, it is important to note that deployment of such test-kits cannot be considered to be a ‘turnkey’ exercise and that, as in the case of laboratory-based assays, care must be taken in the validation and subsequent verification of their use for a given material being used within a food business. In particular, this means demonstrating under local conditions that results from the use of these test-kits are comparable to those that would be obtained using official or reference methods.

Проанализированы характеристики широко применяющегося в облачных системах управления сервиса резервного копирования и восстановления данных. Разработаны оценки для контроля параметров облачных систем управления. Typical computing devices for implementing cloud-based control systems based on data center equipment are analyzed. The task is to formulate the types of control of the studied devices; find the calculated ratio to determine indicators characterizing the types of control; and identify technical monitoring tools that control cloud-based management systems. The characteristics of the backup and data recovery service widely used in cloud management systems are analyzed. Estimates have been developed to control the parameters of cloud-based management systems.

In this chapter the authors first explain the recently created European Higher Education Area and its implications over instructors’ and students’ roles. They also analyze how e-learning management systems are contributing to modify higher education around the world, and which are the benefits and the challenges associated to their use. In this new educational scenario, the authors discuss the importance of monitoring students’ and groups’ activity and performance, and some of the monitoring tools already available in the most popular learning management systems are reviewed. Then, after identifying the informational necessities of online instructors and students, the authors propose a data-analysis model to assist instructors by providing them with easy-to-understand and updated visual reports. Instructors can use these reports to classify students and groups according to their activity and learning outcomes, track their evolution, and identify those who might need immediate guidance or assistance.

In this paper, we explore the determinants of non-performing loans (NPLs) in Asia using a panel data set across 9 countries covering the Middle East, Southeast Asia (SEA) and South Asia countries over a period of 2000 to 2014, and test whether those determinants affect the Southeast Asia differently. The two-step System GMM results indicate that the GDP growth and liquid assets to total assets significantly affect NPLs in a negative manner, while the Southeast Asia is no different from the other regions despite their successful management in NPLs during 2008 crisis. It suggests that other regions may adopt the successful strategies implemented by the SEA countries. Apart from the above, the regulatory variables show mixed results with supervisory power significantly and positively affect the NPLs while the capital stringency requirement is insignificant, contrary to the theoretical expectations. The results are robust to model specification.

Critical Success

The objective of this study is to assess the critical success factors needed to build faculty knowledge management systems with students by using phone texting platform. This study particularly investigates the efficacy of using phone texting platforms as primary knowledge sharing system in universities in the Middle East. Consistent with results collected and previous research, it was shown that knowledge sharing is plagued by various barriers while implementation of phone texting platforms was viable but also impaired. To ameliorate this, changes in cultural, leadership and control attitudes ought to be undertaken to ensure knowledge sharing technologies are integrated in culture as well as in the universities. Revision of government policy is also important in order to foster implementation of knowledge management systems in universities and they can also help in availing the capital outlays required for infrastructure. Furthermore, collaboration with western universities who have already impended phone texting platforms as knowledge sharing systems is also essential. Finally, training of faculty members on how to use and integrate knowledge sharing technology especially phone texting platform will help in augmenting their skills in this facet of knowledge management

The Us

Technology platforms, including learning management systems and monitoring tools, have taken root in schools. While seen as bringing efficiency or innovation into classrooms, they also offer greater capacities for surveillance. Drawing on findings from focus groups with teachers in the US, we explore how teachers’ use of technology platforms produces surveillance. We argue that this positions teachers as surveillant consumers who use monitoring as a way to fulfill their responsibilities to students. We portray two configurations of monitoring in the classroom: tracking student learning and keeping students on task. These configurations reveal how technology platforms orient teachers to see student data as interchangeable with students, which we believe highlights the need for greater scrutiny of technology platforms’ role in the classroom.
