Microblogging represents a significant change in enterprise communication, shifting from a push to a pull model where information consumers subscribe to relevant information sources. Especially scenarios with high degrees in information quantity and complexity may benefit from this approach. This is the case for project management, which can well be supported by microblogging tools. This paper introduces the technology's concept, motivates use cases and discusses two examples as well as available software tools.

The article provides an analysis of gamified software tools, taking into account the need to clarify the concept of “gamification” in the educational process and the features and principles of this concept. All types of software tools with the ability to gamify learning are divided into groups: game platforms, educational quests, training management services, and game development sites. Within each group the most common platforms in the foreign and domestic educational environment are considered. In the modern educational environment there is an increased interest in the use of digital games to improve the quality of learning, which determines the relevance of the proposed research on the analysis of software tools with the possibility of gamifying the educational process within the requirements of the state, society and education. The use of digital tools during the coronovirus pandemic has become a daily necessity in the lives of students. Gamified software tools facilitate the achievement of educational goals, thanks to the clarity of gamification reflect the capabilities, type of thinking, logical abilities of an individual student. The article analyzes several game platforms and educational quests, on the basis of which the method of gamification of the learning process will be further improved. The research methodology requires the study of information sources of psychological, pedagogical, methodological and technical orientation, the analysis of digital educational games of foreign and domestic authors recognized by the scientific community.

Abstract A Web-based survey of wildland fire managers in federal agencies in the western United States explored fire science information needs and sources, why particular sources are used, and barriers to obtaining and using information. The fire managers we surveyed rely heavily on internal agency information sources (colleagues, technical experts, and resource advisors) and are more likely to face barriers in their ability to access and use relevant information (lack of time, funding, and personnel) than problems with the quality or availability of data. Information accessibility and applicability are important to managers when deciding which information sources to use. Managers frequently access research provided by US Forest Service Research and Development specialists and university scientists through various publications, the Internet, and direct communication with scientists. Understanding the types of information fire managers need, the sources they access for information, and the barriers they face in obtaining and using information may lead to improved fire science and its dissemination, as well as more effective and efficient fire management.

SMEs have very important roles and functions in the economy. SMEs which are the driving forces of the economy in developing countries are in different quests in terms of getting finance for both their expanding overseas and for business operations. In this sense, there are different projects offering economical, social and cultural opportunities to SMEs. One of the outstanding ones in our country is the European Union projects.This research consists of the review of the literature on the subject as well as the LDV (Leonardo Da Vinci) mobility projects which are the kinds of European Union projects and the works of SMEs in our country. The research carried out through the secondary data acquired from the National Agency, the short name of which is the Presidency of the European Union Education and Youth Programs includes the project application statistics of SMEs between 2004-2012 according to the provinces, project issues, and the number of people benefiting from these projects, and the relevant information related with the amount of funding provided by this means. As a result of this research, a number of proposals about project management have been submitted to SMEs operating in our country.

The case is based on a real $25 million project at a major U.S.-based computer manufacturer. For confidentiality reasons the company has been disguised as A&D High Tech. The Web-based online ordering system project is required by sales and marketing for the fall holiday season. If the project misses this window, the firm will lose substantial market share to competitors. The A&D High Tech case examines how to create and analyze a project plan in Microsoft Project. Specifically, data is given to build the project plan step-by-step and then analyze the plan using the Microsoft project management tool. In order to make the case manageable for students we reduced the size of the project, and corresponding number of resources, to approximately $1 million, but retained all of the features of the original project. The project plan that students construct from the data given in the case is fraught with risks, and students must apply risk management techniques to diagnose the plan. Ultimately, students must answer the management question: Will the project be completed for the holiday shopping season? This case is the first in a series; the second is the case entitled “A&D High Tech (B): Managing Scope Change.” The case can also be taught using other project management software tools, such as Primavera.The case teaches students how to build a project plan in Microsoft Project (or other project management software tools). More important, the case teaches prospective executives how to analyze a project plan and identify risks of the plan, and define strategies to mitigate these risks. Students learn that in the planning stage of any project the risks are highest, but this is the best opportunity for proactive management intervention.

Abstract While the term “climate change” is highly recognized by the nonscientific general public, understandings of its manifestations are varied, contrasting, and complex. It is argued that this is because climate change has become simultaneously a physical and a social phenomenon. Thus, climate change is becoming socialized through nonscientific interpretation. Research has considered the roles of independent sources of information used to inform these communities, ranging from media sources to personal experiences. However, little consideration has been made of the interplay between information sources and how these sources are perceived by nonscientific communities in terms of trust. This paper presents a qualitative study of 52 ski industry stakeholders in Queenstown, New Zealand. It explores the sources of information used by these communities to construct understandings about climate change, their perceptions of these sources, the dominant interpretive factors, and the interactions between the information sources. It finds that personal experiences of weather are used to interpret other sources of information and are drawn upon to corroborate and reject the existence of climate change and its relevance for their locality. This paper concludes that locally relevant information on climate change is required to ensure that it is applicable to nonscientific realities and lived experiences.

While the main goal of a data warehouse is to provide support for data analysis and management’s decisions, a fundamental aspect in design of a data warehouse system is the process of acquiring the raw data from a set of relevant information sources. We will call source integration system the component of a data warehouse system dealing with this process. The main goal of a source integration system is to deal with the transfer of data from the set of sources constituting the application-oriented operational environment, to the data warehouse. Since sources are typically autonomous, distributed, and heterogeneous, this task has to deal with the problem of cleaning, reconciling, and integrating data coming from the sources. The design of a source integration system is a very complex task, which comprises several different issues. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the most important problems arising in the design of a source integration system, with special emphasis on schema integration, processing queries for data integration, and data cleaning and reconciliation.

Librarians are always required to adapt to the situation surrounding the library. This is influenced by internal and external factors. For this reason, librarians are required to have good skills in dealing with various situations in the library. Librarians' abilities are determined by many factors. One of them is factors that can be monitored through the logic of Bourdieu's thinking about habitus, capital, arena, and doxa-heterodoxa-orthodhoxa. On that basis, the formulation of the problem presented in this study is how is the application of Pierre Bourdieu's logic to librarians? This research is a literature study, which is supported by relevant information sources. The data analysis is done by means of interpretation. Pierre Bourdieu has the concepts of habitus, capital, arena, and doxa-heterodoxa-orthodhoxa. The results of the research conducted regarding the logic of Bourdieu's thinking show that habitus cannot be separated from the existence of librarians as individual or social human beings. Thus forming a librarian as an individual who can always adapt to various situations that develop in the library.
