Knowledge Management Tools

Technology plays an important role for enhancing production and productivity. In Nepal, the apex research body, Nepal Agricultural Research council (NARC) is mandated for generating technology whereas Department of Agriculture Extension is responsible for disseminating rice technologies to the farmers’ fields through different channels of the system. Different International and National Non-Government Organization (INGOs/NGOs) are also involved in dissemination of rice technologies as well. Although technologies are disseminating however, adoption rate of rice seems to be low. Awareness is an issue to adopt the right technology. Knowledge Management Tools (KMT) followed for rice in Nepal are fact sheets, farmers’ field school, printed media, radio, television, toll free services, training and visit, and mini-kit distribution. Therefore, to find out the gap between adoption and disseminating technology, a study on KMT was carried out. Informant survey was launched to collect the data covering four regions of Nepal taking 2 districts in each region during 2010. Mini-kit distribution to the farmers, technologies through farmers’ group and training to the farmers were the most effective for transferring rice technologies, which were confirmed by 49 (62.9%), 46 (59.0%) and 41 (52.8%) interviewed farmers, respectively. Among the electronic media, FM radio and radio were most effective tools for disseminating rice technologies, which were shown by 33 (42.3%) and 23 (29.5%) farmers respectively. Among the printed media, booklet and news paper were most effective for transferring rice technologies as confirmed by 21 (27.0%) and 13 (16.7%) farmers respectively.

While the research interest for exoskeletons has been rising in the last decades, missing standards for their rigorous evaluation are potentially limiting their adoption in the industrial field. In this context, exoskeletons for worker support have the aim to reduce the physical effort required by humans, with dramatic social and economic impact. Indeed, exoskeletons can reduce the occurrence and the entity of work-related musculoskeletal disorders that often cause absence from work, resulting in an eventual productivity loss. This very urgent and multifaceted issue is starting to be acknowledged by researchers. This article provides a systematic review of the state of the art for functional performance evaluation of low-back exoskeletons for industrial workers. We report the state-of-the-art evaluation criteria and metrics used for such a purpose, highlighting the lack of a standard for this practice. Very few studies carried out a rigorous evaluation of the assistance provided by the device. To address also this topic, the article ends with a proposed framework for the functional validation of low-back exoskeletons for the industry, with the aim to pave the way for the definition of rigorous industrial standards.

: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an extremely important drug used for treatment of various ailments. WHO listed it as one of the essential drugs. Utility of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as prophylaxis of COVID19, although debated, is well known. We have reviewed synthetic strategies for industrial and academic synthesis of HCQ and its key intermediates like 4,7-dichloroquinoline (4,7-DCQ) and 2-((4-aminopentyl)(ethyl)amino)ethan-1-ol 9 (aka hydroxynovaldiamine; HNDA). The review is expected to provide the right perspective of the state-of-the-art knowledge in this field so that further developments are possible.

Abstract This paper analyses the state of the art for nanotechnology in Barcelona, focussing on the scientific and economic challenges arising from nanotechnologies and the creative and innovative framework in Barcelona that could be used to meet them. Nanotechnology is an endless source of innovation and creativity at the intersection of medicine, biotechnology, engineering, physical sciences and information technology, and it is opening up new directions in R + D, knowledge management and technology transfer. Given the huge economic investment and cutting-edge research in the field of nanotechnology, a creatively managed and cooperation-based university industry is more in demand than ever before.

Virtual Product

With the aid of content-based multimedia analysis, virtual product placement opens up new opportunities for advertisers to effectively monetize the existing videos in an efficient way. In addition, a number of significant and challenging issues are raising accordingly, such as how to less-intrusively insert the contextually relevant advertising message (what) at the right place (where) and the right time (when) with the attractive representation (how) in the videos. In this chapter, domain knowledge in support of delivering and receiving the advertising message is introduced, such as the advertising theory, psychology and computational aesthetics. We briefly review the state of the art techniques for assisting virtual product placement in videos. In addition, we present a framework to serve the virtual spotlighted advertising (ViSA) for virtual product placement and give an explorative study of it. Moreover, observations about the new trend and possible extension in the design space of virtual product placement will also be stated and discussed. We believe that it would inspire the researchers to develop more interesting and applicable multimedia advertising systems for virtual product placement.

Knowledge Management Tools

Wikis have been widely used as knowledge management tools. However, most of them do not support the conversion process of knowledge in an appropriate way. Specifically, they do not support brainstorming and creativity techniques, which are needed to convert tacit knowledge into explicit. This chapter presents how a wiki tool called the Spatial Hypertext Wiki (ShyWiki) can be used for supporting collaborative requirements elicitation following the knowledge creation spiral of Nonaka. The knowledge conversions in the spiral (socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization) and the knowledge types in each conversion are related to different activities in requirements elicitation, which can be performed through ShyWiki. ShyWiki allows stakeholders to collaborate by creating, brainstorming, structuring and reorganizing requirements contained in notes. In this way, the requirements negotiation and prioritization process can be done through the wiki pages which are seen as virtual boards that hold hypertext notes.
