Open Office

This study has examined the impact of noise on individual job performance in the open-plan office. Forty participants were randomly assigned to a controlled condition and exposed to low-intensity noise, ranging from 40 dB to 70 dB. The experimental noise comes from a single sound source of office conversations. The prominent feature of the neurobehavioral approach is its focus on the change of human behavior, which can reflect the effect of environment on human brain function. Changes in nervous system function can be evaluated by measuring changes in a person's behavior. Therefore, we arranged four neurobehavioral tests to record the changes in workers' job performance, including perception, learning and memory, thinking, and execution tests. It was found that noise in open-plan office affected individual job performance differentially, which mainly depends on the category of job. From the point of view of noise impact on individual job performance, the open office may be more suitable for the military industry and some mechanically repetitive jobs. In the information technology, service, finance and government industry, it is desirable to take the semi-open form. It is only appropriate to use a private office for the academic industry, which requires a lot of thought.

The impact of the war on the concepts of visibility / invisibility of the city and their relationship is analyzed from the point of view of mytho-ritual practices. Inversions of the visible and invisible are considered in the context of evolution of the city's symbolism under the influence of the military threats.

Heavy metals are one of the major pollutants. The main sources of pollution are industry, transport, the use of pesticides and mineral fertilizers in agriculture, the military industry, etc. Pollution is mostly around businesses, highways and treated terrains and they are polymetallic, mostly from Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Hg, As and others. In the current paper the main heavy metals for Bulgaria for the different sources of pollution are presented. An analysis of data for problem areas is made, according to sources of pollution. An analysis of the impact of pollutants on the environment is also conducted.

For bringing together the capacity to inform, educate, and train their users through the interaction with the player and simulation environments very close to reality (in which the acquisition of new skills is the primary goal and fun to play secondary), serious games became the ideal tool for health applications and training military personnel as well as for improving their techniques. In this chapter, a general point of view is presented regarding the use of serious games in the military industry and health. Moreover, it also discusses what serious games are and in which areas they can be applied, which steps a serious game development involves, as well as which platforms and technologies can be used in its development. A description on successful military serious games is also provided, as well as the results of an interview with the psychologists of the Association “ENCONTRA-SE” (Oporto, Portugal) about the use of health serious games as a therapy for patients with mental illnesses.

The article reveals the mechanisms and dynamics of announcing the threat of criminal punishment for violations of the industrial discipline in the public space of the Siberian rear and the reaction of the workers of the regional military industry in 1940-1945. The methodological base of the research is the authors conception about two types of social and labor communications - motivational and compulsory. The extreme nature of the Second World War era led to an increase of the role of coercion as a component of the motivation of industrial work. In line with this trend, changes have been made in the functioning of verbal, figurative, symbolic and behavioral channels for the translation of the decrees of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR from June 26, 1940 and December 26, 1941, carried out by institutions and representatives of the authorities at different levels. Furthermore, the article shows the transformation of forms of response of the defense industry personnel in Siberia on the application of these laws, taking into account changes in its composition, conditions of life, awareness and perception of the industrial relations system. The conclusion is drawn that the compulsory strategy of social and labor communication on the part of the Soviet state passed the tortuous path from a highly- to low-effective technology of preventing crimes on the economic front. From the point of view of the working class, it rose from the zero level to the requirements of improving everyday life under the threat of desertion and, eventually, to a conscious protest against the mobilization of labor in the military industry.

The Impact

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.

<p><em>In this study, I have collected and summarized the functional aspects of a literary prize, contest, and rating, which indicate their affiliation with the marketing complex of the publishing house for the first time. For this purpose, I have analyzed and summarized the common concepts of the functioning of literary prizes and contests as advertising tools for publishing activity. Because the previous studies are only focused on the fact of the impact of the prize on the promotion of editions but do not explain it, these aspects have been considered and introduced by me from the book production’s point of view. I investigated that the prizes and the contests in the literary field are effective marketing tools, which meet many publisher’s needs at the same time and can be considered a non-profit form of capital. I have reviewed the works of other authors, who accept that the economic success of the book is rising if the author is a winner of the literary prize or contest. I have found out that the book prize activates the demand for the book, and the literary contest is a tool to track the reader’s reaction to a future publication. In this way, literary prizes and contests can be considered as a way of conducting a marketing dialogue with the target audience. I have focused on the information support of literary national and international prizes and contests by the media, which attracts attention to the book and forms the reader’s interest. The literary prizes and contests are also considered as a way of exploring trends and their changes, familiarization the popular genres among the target audience and fixation the current choice of modern readers. Literary prizes and contests motivate the authors to improve their literary excellence, are the source of new authors and works, and assist in increasing sales of books. However, further research is recommended.</em></p><strong><em>Key words:</em></strong><em> book prize, book rating, literary contest, literary prize, functions of the literary prizes.</em>
