This article presents a study whose purpose was to examine how the educational system functions following the assimilation of a technological environment and how the relationships between the subsystems are affected and affect each other following this change. The study took place over the course of three years in schools in the State of Israel using questionnaires, observations, case description, and focus groups. This study used the Systemic Control Model (SCM), which provides a system of feedback and control. Through application of the model significant data is received informing one about the progression of the change process while the execution of the stages and various processes are being carried out. The process of introducing the computer as an educational tool into the educational system necessitated the application of two control models: the in-depth control model and the time continuum control model. The in-depth control model examined the various factors that participated in the process and their mutual influence, and the time continuum model received feedback at various points in time. The major conclusion of the study is that the combined activation of both control models is a condition for the success of the assimilation process of any education system change.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the management mode for the prevention and control of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) transmission utilized at a general hospital in Shenzhen, China, with the aim to maintain the normal operation of the hospital. Methods: From January 2, 2020 to April 23, 2020, Hong Kong–Shenzhen Hospital, a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen, has operated a special response protocol named comprehensive pandemic prevention and control model, which mainly includes six aspects: 1) human resource management; 2) equipment management; 3) logistics management; 4) cleaning, disinfection and process reengineering; 5) environment layout; 6) and training and assessment. The detail of every aspect was described and its efficiency was evaluated. Results: A total of 198,802 patients were received. Of those, 10,821 were hospitalized; 26,767 were received by the emergency department and fever clinics; 288 patients were admitted for observation with fever; and 324 were admitted as suspected cases for isolation. Under the protocol of comprehensive pandemic prevention and control model, no case of hospital-acquired infection with COVID-19 occurred among the inpatients or staff. Conclusion: The present comprehensive response model may be useful in large public health emergencies to ensure appropriate management and protect the health and life of individuals.

The problem of intermittent generation peaking is highly concerned by the grid operator. To build control model for solving unbalance of peaking is great necessary. In this paper, we propose reserve classification control model which contain constant reserve control model with real-time reserve control model to guide the peaking balance of the grid with intermittent generation. The proposed model associate time-period constant reserve control model with real-time reserve control model to calculate, and use the peaking margin as intermediate variable. Therefore, the model solutions which are the capacity of reserve classification are obtained. The grid operators use the solution to achieve the peaking balance control. The proposed model was examined by real grid operation case, and the results of the case demonstrate the validity of the proposed model.

There is a rather recent tendency to define the physical structure and the control structure of a system concurrently when designing the architecture of a product, i.e., to perform codesign. We argue that co-design can only be enabled when the mutual influence between physical system and control is made evident to the designer at an early stage. Though the idea of design integration is not new, to the best of our knowledge, there is no computer tooling that explicitly supports this activity by enabling co-design as stated before. In this paper the authors propose a method for co-design of physical and control architectures as a better approach to design mechatronic systems, allowing to exploit the synergy between software and hardware and detecting certain design problems at an early stage of design. The proposed approach is supported by a set of tools and demonstrated through an example case.

Cultivating in greenhouses constitutes a fundamental tool for the development of high-quality crops with a high degree of profitability. Prediction and control models guarantee the correct management of environment variables, for which fuzzy inference systems have been successfully implemented. The purpose of this review is determining the various relationships in fuzzy inference systems currently used for the modelling, prediction, and control of humidity in greenhouses and how they have changed over time to be able to develop more robust and easier to understand models. The methodology follows the PRISMA work guide. A total of 93 investigations in 4 academic databases were reviewed; their bibliometric aspects, which contribute to the objective of the investigation, were extracted and analysed. It was finally concluded that the development of models based in Mamdani fuzzy inference systems, integrated with optimization and fuzzy clustering techniques, and following strategies such as model-based predictive control guarantee high levels of precision and interpretability.
