Use of project teams is increasing; however little is known about collaboration as it actually occurs over project’s life. This paper explores nature of collaboration within Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) after two years of funded research.  The second year is characterized by forward research progress, positive relationships, and transitions and challenges related to human resources, team restructuring and partner institutional policies.  INKE is drawing upon structures and processes, including in-person meetings, multiple communication channels and evolving governance documents to support the collaboration.  The paper concludes with recommendations for similar long term, large-scale project team.

This article considers the results of an ongoing study of research collaboration within a cross-country research team in the digital humanities. The INKE group (or, Implementing New Knowledge Environments) is in its first year of funding for projects in the areas of Interface Design, Textual Studies, User Experience and Information Management. The author presents initial findings on the challenges and advantages to collaborative work on such a large-scale project.

Use of project teams is increasing, however little is known about collaboration as it actually occurs over the life of projects. This paper explores the nature of collaboration within Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) after three years of funded research. The third year is characterized by change and transition with new team members, partners, and sub-research areas. INKE continues to draw upon structures and processes, including team building activities, in-person meetings, multiple communication channels, evolving governance documents to support the collaboration, and incorporating collaboration-ready individuals.  The paper concludes with recommendations for similar long term, large-scale project teams.

The new communication and information systems have significantly increased the possibilities offered to professional companies for developing and maintaining long-term customer relationships. However, technology alone cannot ensure the success of CRM strategies. The implementation of a customercentred culture, shared by the entire professional organisation, requires the combination of human resources, expertise and technology in order to identify and satisfy the needs of the existing customers. Considering a sample of French and UK professional SMEs, this chapter investigates the type of CRM strategy implemented by these firms, as well as the usage intensity of various communication channels, both by companies and clients. The satisfaction of client organisations is analysed from a multi-level perspective and a diagnostic procedure is proposed in order to identify the gap between the perceptions service provider firms and clients on various dimensions of the CRM process.

This article describes the struggle of the Pesantren Annur Azzubaidi in building excellence in the era of disruption. The aspects studied are: developing the vision of the Pesantren, large-scale planning, strengthening the skills of students, and strengthening community relations. The deepening process is carried out through qualitative research with the narrative method, where the data is obtained through observation, interviews and document studies. Meanwhile, data analysis goes through the stages: data collection, data reduction, data display, and data verification. The results showed that: 1) the development of the vision of the Pesantren Annur Azzubaidi leads to the development of quality human resources in science; 2) large-scale planning embodied in short-term plans, medium-term plans, and long-term plans; 3) train students' skills in various fields such as agriculture, animal husbandry, arts, and entrepreneurship; 4) build partnerships and strengthen relationships with the community. This study recommends the need for further research on the resilience of the cottage tradition in the industrial era 4.0.

Graphene modified coatings have attracted extensive attention in recent years due to their excellent corrosion resistance and broad application prospects in the field of anti-corrosion. However, large-scale applications of graphene coatings were seldom reported, which is mainly attributed to the lack of fundamental research on the anti-corrosive mechanism and the long-term service performance evaluation of graphene modified coatings in actual working conditions. In the present work, the influence of the characteristics of corrosive medium, the content of graphene, the structure and morphology of graphene and the external environmental conditions on the anti-corrosive performance of graphene modified coatings were systematically reviewed. The deficiencies in the research of anti-corrosive performance of graphene modified coatings were summarized. The future work were prospected for the anti-corrosive performance and applications of graphene modified coatings in oil and gas exploration.

Background: This article examines Implementing New Knowledge Environments’ (INKE) experiences as a mature, large-scale collaboration working with academic and non-academic partners and provides some insight into best practices. It looks at the sixth year of funded research.Analysis: The study uses semi-structured interviews with questions focused on the nature of collaboration with selected members of the INKE research team. Data analysis employs a grounded theory approach.Conclusion and implication: The interviewees found the experience of collaborating within INKE to be positive with some ongoing challenges. The team is winding down as it moves into the final year of funded research. This suggests an arc of collaboration, with intensity of collaboration building from the first year to the most intensive time in the middle years and then winding down in the last years of grant funding. This article contributes to those lessons about collaboration by exploring the lived experience of a long-term, large-scale research project.

AbstractThe large-scale coronal structures observed during the sporadically visible solar eclipses were compared with the numerically extrapolated field-line structures of coronal magnetic field. A characteristic relationship between the observed structures of coronal plasma and the magnetic field line configurations was determined. The long-term evolution of large scale coronal structures inferred from photospheric magnetic observations in the course of 11- and 22-year solar cycles is described.Some known parameters, such as the source surface radius, or coronal rotation rate are discussed and actually interpreted. A relation between the large-scale photospheric magnetic field evolution and the coronal structure rearrangement is demonstrated.
