The initial adoption phase of new production technologies is the period between the first production run or technology reconfiguration and the achievement of a stable target output. This time frame is generally characterized by productivity unsteadiness, quality performance variability, and unexpected machine failures together with increasing production volumes due to the process setup and instability, which inevitably affects production output. In this context, human performance represents an additional source of variability and process instability that is dependent on the workers’ productivity, learning curve and related training activities. Hence, to effectively assess the ramp-up phase of new production technologies, an appropriate evaluation of human performance is required. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework and criteria to perform a consistent assessment of the initial adoption phase of new production technologies by introducing two OEE measurement methodologies that distinguish between human performance, process configuration and technical features of the production technology. The proposed framework is then applied to and validated by a case study concerning the introduction of a semi-automatic packaging machine in a primary multinational company in the logistics industry. This case study shows the difference between the two OEE measures, along with the values interpretation and useful insights for achieving a stable production output.

78 Fordham Law Review 2799 (2010)The Internet is a semicommons. Private property in servers and network links coexists with a shared communications platform. This distinctive combination both explains the Internet's enormous success and illustrates some of its recurring problems.Building on Henry Smith's theory of the semicommons in the medieval open-field system, this essay explains how the dynamic interplay between private and common uses on the Internet enables it to facilitate worldwide sharing and collaboration without collapsing under the strain of misuse. It shows that key technical features of the Internet, such as its layering of protocols and the Web's division into distinct "sites," respond to the characteristic threats of strategic behavior in a semicommons. An extended case study of the Usenet distributed messaging system shows that not all semicommons on the Internet succeed; the continued success of the Internet depends on our ability to create strong online communities that can manage and defend the infrastructure on which they rely. Private and common both have essential roles to play in that task, a lesson recognized in David Post's and Jonathan Zittrain's recent books on the Internet.

Este artigo apresenta a sistematização das ações de Assistência Estudantil realizadas pelo IF Baiano Campus Santa Inês em 2020 em tempos de pandemia de Covid-19. O objetivo geral consiste em demonstrar a relevância que as ações de Assistência Estudantil têm diante da situação de vulnerabilidade social que vivenciam estudantes que enfrentam a desigualdade social, fruto de um capitalismo perverso, a qual foi agravada no período da pandemia. A grande questão é tentar identificar como em 2020 o IF Baiano Campus Santa Inês tem impactado a vida dos estudantes em situação de vulnerabilidade social durante essa emergência sanitária. A metodologia adotada baseia-se em pesquisa sobre os relatórios das entrevistas e visitas domiciliares, com recorte temporal de 2020; como também na análise das ações desenvolvidas para estes estudantes diante da situação de emergência decorrente da pandemia. Trata-se de um estudo de caso que procura pesquisar a experiência. O recorte teórico baseia-se na concepção de Assistência Estudantil como um direito amparado legalmente pelo Programa Nacional de Assistência Estudantil, e nos estudos sobre desigualdade social na sociedade pós-moderna. E com base na pesquisa da experiência, os dados de Assistência Estudantil serão apresentados, explicitados em sete ações desenvolvidas em 2020. Já as considerações finais procurarão anunciar que o IF Baiano Campus Santa Inês tem feito diferença, impactado a vida de estudantes e contribuído para o fortalecimento da Política de Educação do Estado da Bahia durante a pandemia de Covid-19, principalmente dos estudantes em situação de vulnerabilidade social. Palavras-chave: Desigualdade Social; Neoliberalismo; Capitalismo; Educação Profissional.     Abstract: This article presents the systematization of student assistance actions carried out by IF Baiano Campus Santa Inês in 2020 in Times of pandemic covid-19. The general objective is to demonstrate the relevance that student assistance actions have in the face of the situation of social vulnerability that students who face social inequality, the result of a perverse capitalism, which was aggravated in the period of the pandemic. The big question is to try to identify how the IF Baiano Campus Santa Inês in 2020 has impacted the lives of students in situations of social vulnerability during this health emergency. The methodology adopted is based on research on the reports of interviews and home visits, with a time frame of 2020; as well as in the analysis of the actions developed for these students in the face of the emergency situation resulting from the pandemic.  This is a case study that seeks to research the experience. The theoretical framework is based on the conception of Student Assistance as a right legally based by the National Student Assistance Program, and on studies on social inequality in postmodern society. And based on the research of experience, the Data of Student Assistance will be presented, explained in 7 actions developed in 2020. The final considerations will seek to announce that the IF Baiano Campus Santa Inês has made a difference, impacted the lives of students and contributed to the strengthening of the Education Policy of the State of Bahia during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially of students in situations of social vulnerability.

The 1960S

Abstract Traditional solar salt pans appeared in Vinh Chau, Soc Trang province and Bac Lieu province in the 1960s (Do, 1998). Crude salt is mainly used for human consumption and to salt fish and fish sauces and therefore its demand is not considerable. Moreover, a large amount of crude salt was produced yearly at the sites which exceeded local consumption needs. Consequently, all salt produced could not be sold which reduced the income of salt farmers. Towards the end of the 1980s, an Artemia culture technique in salt pans for cyst production was developed by the College of Aquaculture and Fisheries (CAF), Cantho University, which proved to be more profitable than traditional salt production (Vu, 1997). Therefore the technique was immediately transferred to farmers and the production scale increased year by year. This case study describes the system of shrimp, Artemia and salt production which was introduced to salt farmers with the aim of developing a new production system to help to improve their living standards.

In the context of digitalization, the functioning of the QMS necessitates the development and application of qualitatively new management technologies, as well as fundamentally new production technologies. Science is faced with the question of studying the main ways of developing the QMS, determining its place and role in modern conditions and realities, including the use of digital technologies. The article defines the sections of the QMS (GOST R ISO 9001-2015), in which digital technologies can and should be implemented: clause 8.3 Design and development of products and services, clause 8.4. Production of products and provision of services, p. 7.1.5 Resources for monitoring and measurement, p. 9.3. Management analysis.

Within the confinements of critical infrastructures, the COVID-19 pandemic is posing a series of challenges to Health Management. In the spotlight of highly contagious and quick spreading diseases within such enclosed facilities, whether it be a detention facility or otherwise, the health and safety of those living within its internment is paramount. This paper aims to highlight the specific challenges and the possible solutions to counteract this problem, starting from the lessons learnt from the Italian prison system case study. Following the general description of the available resources within the Italian prisons, the study aimed at specifically describing the first counteracting measures deployed by the Italian prison authorities during the first phase of the COVID-19 outbreak (February–July 2020). The aim was to propose an integrated plan capable of responding to a biological threat within the prisons. In particular, the study describes the actions and technical features that, in accordance with national and international legal frameworks and the relevant organisational bodies that run the Italian Prison Service, had been adopted in managing, right from the start, the COVID-19 pandemic until Summer 2020. Available information and data showed the ability of the prison administration to comply almost completely with WHO’s technical and human rights recommendations and also, in successfully handling prison emergencies both in terms of the sick and the deceased in line with the epidemiological framework of the general population. In addition, the paper proposes a draft of guidelines that should involve the National Health Service and the Prison Service that are aimed at supporting the local prison facilities with drawing up their own biological incident contingency plans. An approved, legal, standardised plan could increase the awareness of prison managers. It could even increase their self-confidence, in particular, with regard to cases of dispute and their ability to respond to them. In fact, it is valuable and forward-thinking to be able to demonstrate that every endeavour has been taken and that ‘certified’ best practices have been put in place in accordance with the national standards.
