Learning Environment Research

The authors find that learning in organizations that employ innovation and technology in their operations is fostered and incorporated in work environment for enhancing innovation while maintaining peak competiveness. It is divided across several segments, which include but are not limited to experimentation, risk tolerance, interaction with the external environment, dialogue, and decision-making. Conversely, this paper also examines several instances in which organizations failed to adopt a learning environment. Research illustrates that companies that fail continuously to improve fail because they can no longer competitively operate in today's global marketplace by holding onto the way work was once accomplished. Today's work environment is more demanding and less structured than in the past and, therefore, companies must adopt or they will become irrelevant. This paper also illustrates how learning actually occurs. Furthermore, the authors attempt to show the nascent relationship between learning and brain/mind principles at a cursory level. The paper also shows how the same basic principles utilized in educational learning can be applied to enhance corporate learning among adult learners.

Bonding Failure

Focused ion beam (FIB) system is a powerful microfabrication tool which uses electronic lenses to focus the ion beam even up to nanometer level. The FIB technology has become one of the most necessary failure analysis and failure mechanism study tools for microelectronic device in the past several years. Bonding failure is one of the most common failure mechanisms for microelectronic devices. But because of the invisibility of the bonding interface, it is difficult to analyze this kind of failure. The paper introduced the basic principles of FIB technology. And two cases for microelectronic devices bonding failure were analyzed successfully by FIB technology in this paper.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to summarize and classify extant research and to better understand the past, present, and future state of the theory of value co-creation. Its main objectives are: to identify the different theoretical perspectives and research streams that characterize and define the co-creation literature, and to highlight the connections between them; to look for emerging trends and gaps in the literature by comparing the most recent papers with those representing the field's core. Design/methodology/approach – The paper relies on bibliometric data: co-citation techniques were employed to select, analyze, and interpret citation patterns within the co-creation literature. Findings – The paper identified two main clusters, as well as specific research streams and common themes, representing scholarly journals’ publications on co-creation over the past years. These research streams and themes apply three different theoretical perspectives: service science, innovation and technology management, and marketing and consumer research. Data from the most recent publications has been used to verify if and how the original streams and themes are reflected in the contemporary debate. Research limitations/implications – Inevitably, the findings of the analysis have limitations related to the research design, the databases, and the applied bibliometric methods. Practical implications – From a practical perspective, the research impacts on theory building, management decision making, and teaching. Originality/value – This study depicts the remarkable development of the literature on co-creation and shows the latent structure underlying its different research streams. To the best knowledge, this study is the first to determine co-citation frequencies from both the SSCI and Scopus databases.

Heavy Mortality

IT IS a great honor to be asked to present the first William E. Ladd Lecture before the American Academy of Pediatrics. This I appreciate and as this is the first lecture in my former Chief's honor, I shall devote my time more to Doctor Ladd and what he accomplished during his long and devoted service as Chief of the Surgical Service of the Boston Children's Hospital than to the presentation of anything new. In these days of great changes in the surgical field, it is very easy to overlook or even to forget the good things that were done in the past. I said "changes" rather than advances for some of the changes of today are not advances. It is easier to appreciate the extraordinary widening in the field of surgical endeavor that has been made possible by improvements in pre- and postoperative care, anesthesia, and the more effective means to combat infection than it is to remember what was done in a previous generation without such new and valuable aids. When I began my service at the Boston Children's Hospital in 1919, most of the deaths on the Surgical Service were caused by infection. Long surgical procedures involving an open thoracotomy were impossible. Prolonged operations on the gastrointestinal tract carried a heavy mortality largely because of our lack of knowledge of fluid balance. In those earlier days, an operation that exceeded an hour in length was considered to be entering a very dangerous phase. It is well, however, to review some of the types of cases done in those days and to keep in mind that the basic principles one had to follow at that time are still valid and that the good results of today are by no means entirely due to modern methods. Let me cite a few examples.

First Time

This co-authored article examines the oldest known treaty between incoming Europeans and Indigenous North Americans to derive five basic principles to guide healthy, productive relationships between Indigenous community-based researchers and university-based ones. Rick Hill, Tuscarora artist and knowledge keeper from the Six Nations of the Grand River, publishes for the first time here the most complete oral history that exists today of that ancient treaty, from the early seventeenth century, known as the Two Row Wampum or the Covenant Chain agreement. Interspersed with Dr. Hill’s reflections, Daniel Coleman, a settler professor of English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University, outlines five principles for research partnerships derived from the discussions of the Two Row Research Partnership seminars that Hill and Coleman have been hosting at Deyohahá:ge: Indigenous Knowledge Centre for the past four years. Formed between the Hodinöhsö:ni’ confederacy and Dutch merchants arriving near Albany, New York in 1609, the Two Row Wampum-Covenant Chain treaty set the precedent for nation-to-nation treaties between European colonial powers and Indigenous peoples with two parallel rows representing the Hodinöhsö:ni’ canoe and the Dutch ship sailing down the shared river. Each party agreed to keep their beliefs and laws in their separate vessels, and on this basis of interdependent autonomy, they established a long-lasting friendship. This article suggests that by renewing our understanding of the Two Row Wampum-Covenant Chain treaty, Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers alike can rebuild relationships of trust and cooperation that can decolonize Western presumptions and re-establish healthy and productive research partnerships.

The Past

During the past decade, there has been increasing pressure on correctional agencies to attract and keep quality staff. Raising worker job satisfaction is seen as a fundamental way of decreasing turnover. There has been a considerable amount of research in the area of the possible causes of correctional staff job satisfaction and, to a lesser extent, the possible consequences of job satisfaction. However, due to the numerous studies, some with conflicting results, it is difficult to understand clearly the factors associated with job satisfaction. A review of the literature is presented to provide a better understanding of correctional staff job satisfaction. Based on this review, correctional administrators are urged to concentrate more on improving the work environment rather than focusing on correctional staff characteristics.

Pancasila experiences ups and downs of development, not due to the weakness of the values contained therein, but rather leads to inconsistencies in its application. In line with the acceptance of the truth of noble values of Pancasila then drove the flow and spirit to make Pancasila as a paradigm. History also noted how from the past until now Pancasila often get a challenge that resulted in the crisis for the existence of the Indonesian nation. The challenge faced by Pancasila as the view of life and the foundation of the state is always directly proportional to the challenges faced by the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia as a whole. Paradigm is actually a way of view, values, methods, basic principles to solve a problem faced by a nation into the future. The results of research show First, Philosophically the essence of Pancasila as the paradigm of legal development contains a consequence that all aspects of legal development within the framework of national development should be based on the nature of Pancasila values; Secondly, As a legal development paradigm, Pancasila wants that development in society becomes the starting point of the existence of a legal product.

This article aims to describe the Budi Utomo Quotes Based on Canva Applications for National Awareness Strengthens. In order for the struggle of the Budi Utomo movement to be interpreted in depth by generations, the visual graphic media was chosen to strengthen the national awareness of the generation. This is in line with the basic principles of Budi Utomo's movement, namely the primacy of mind or mind in terms of education. The research method in this article is qualitative descriptive. The writing results describe the process and results of the use of visual graphic media that photographed Budi Utomo's movement with the aim of strengthening the national awareness of Indonesian youth so as to be able to integrate past struggles as a capital "repeating the glory of the past" through education. The hope with this article is that observers of history are able to implement historical learning easily and can adjust technological developments, but without losing their identity as a cultured nation.

The following information has been acquired over the past 15 years assisting insurance adjusters and attorneys. Quite often we are asked to establish the scope of the loss, prepare an estimate of damages, express an opinion as to the cause of the accident and sometimes assist the insured in mitigating the loss. On occasion, we have provided personnel to monitor the repairs and review all expenditures. The various types of cases which are described herein were selected to reflect the variety of cranes, the different causes of accidents, the unusual problems encountered in performing our duties and proposed methods for eliminating loss of life and mitigating property damage. The causation of crane accidents can be classified in three general categories; (#I) Natural Calamity or Acts of God; (#2) Failure of the Equipment and (#3) Operator Error. An increased awareness of safety in the work environment can be enhanced by the examination of accidents, the identification of the hazard

Abstract This study compared the effect of the timing of form-focused instruction (FFI) on the acquisition of the past counterfactual conditional (PCC) and framing expressions (FEs) for English questions. Sixty-three EFL adult learners received a total of six hours of isolated or integrated FFI on the target features. Acquisition was measured by means of cloze tests and interviews. The results obtained from a mixed-design ANOVA indicated that the learners in the two experimental groups made significant gains on the two language measures. A dependent t-test revealed that the two target structures responded differentially to the timing of form-focused instruction. We discuss some of the theoretical and pedagogical implications of these findings.

Advantages And Disadvantages

Firms operate in a more and more complex, dynamic, less predictable environment. This situation requires following different approaches of strategic positioning and strategic planning and developing new patterns of strategic thinking. There are several strategic models and tools. Most of them have advantages and disadvantages. In spite of these limitations, these models must be examined. The purpose of this chapter is to conduct a strategic analysis (external and internal diagnoses). It familiarizes the reader with the forces that shape competition in a company's external environment and then analyzes internal strategic capabilities for identifying strategic sustainable competitive advantage.
