The DAD after the DAD: from emergency to new opportunity. The experience of the training of supports teachers

This essay looks at the real revolution that has taken place since March 2020 in educational activities for Pre-Service Teachers for Students with Special Needs.Starting from only partly tested previously in distance learning, universities have had to quickly redesign lessons, workshops, final tests, and, in some cases, selective testing by moving them online. How much of this unquestionable educational emergency can be transformed into new opportunities? To answer the question, the essay takes the points of view of both the TFA Course’s coordination work supporting a small university and a rather significant number of students (1367 in total). A survey questionnaire expressed some, at times, surprising viewpoints.

Optimization of IoT-Based Sporting Goods Consumer Service Management System

With the rapid development of computer technology and information industry technology, the use of these technologies has been deeply applied to the management of various industries. Data time-sharing transmission can solve the problem that the system is not affected by the network; that is, it makes good use of the network and is not bound by the network. Even when the network speed is low or the network is not smooth, the system of each store can run normally, and when the network is smooth, the data will be uploaded in packets and automatically received by the server. The system is well designed with functional modules’ management, including sports goods import and export management, inventory management, membership management, and ledger management. System operation can well solve the coordination work between the head office and stores; the head office can master the operation of each store, check the generated ledger at any time, form statistical reports, and guide the operation status of each store so that the stores can adjust their operation methods and learn from each other at any time. The system network management can make valuable data information aggregated, rather than single data. The head office can make overall data backup promptly to provide good logistic support for each store.

Pengaruh Disiplin Kerja, Pengalaman Kerja dan Budaya Organisasi terhadap Kinerja Karyawan pada PT. Kumala Indonesia Shipyard

Human resources are the main resources in an organization that functions as the main organization and the activities of the organization as well as one of the main spearheads for each organization's operations. And besides increasing human resources also required aspects of the company that are needed to provide knowledge well to carry out the direction of the organization.

How and why does Local Area Coordination work for people in different contexts?

The increasing adoption of Local Area Coordination across the United Kingdom as a strengths-based approach to acting on inequalities which impact on individual health and well-being, and reducing reliance and avoidable use of health and social care services, has catalysed increasing calls for evidence to justify economic commitment. In a time of austerity where extreme pressure is on resources to prove short-term outputs, Pawson and Tilley’s realist evaluation methodology holds significant promise in asking critical questions of how and why programmes work. Ultimately, such philosophical standpoints facilitate opportunities to examine whether the sustainability of programmes are cost-effective for the system in the longer term. This article draws upon the findings of a realist evaluation of Local Area Coordination on the Isle of Wight and establishes how and why the programme works for people and local communities. A blend of realist approaches, Q-method and realist interviews were adopted within this study. The study’s sample was a cross section of 18 people who engaged with the Local Area Coordination programme across the Isle of Wight. The findings of the evaluation established that the Local Area Coordinators’ ability to facilitate a ‘golden triangle’ of listening, trust and time were factors which made Local Area Coordination work. It was also clear that Local Area Coordination worked for different people in different ways, demonstrated through the contextual differences between three subgroups who were categorised based on shared viewpoints, and presented through the holistic narratives and corroborating interview data.

Coordinated control of active front steering and active disturbance rejection sliding mode-based DYC for 4WID-EV

The four-wheel independent driven electric vehicle (4WID-EV) can easily realize the four-wheel independent drive, which is convenient for the development and design of the direct yaw moment control system (DYC). Based on the theory of ADRC and the sliding mode control, a new type of DYC controller coordinated with the AFS controller using PID method is designed for the 4WID-EV in this paper. The coordinated control work area is divided according to the tire lateral force linear area. An improved particle swarm optimization algorithm which introduces linear decreasing inertia weight and annealing strategy is adopted to obtain the coordination work weight. The effectiveness of the DYC controller is verified by the Simulink simulation. It also shows that the performance is further improved after the coordinated control.

Bridging Temporal Divides: Temporal Brokerage in Global Teams and Its Impact on Individual Performance

Members of global teams are often dispersed across time zones. This paper introduces the construct of temporal brokerage, which we define as being in a position within a team’s temporal structure that bridges subgroups that have little or no temporal overlap with each other. Although temporal brokerage is not a formal role, we argue that occupying such a position makes an individual more likely to take on more coordination work than other members on the team. We suggest that, while engaging in such coordination work has advantages in the form of enhanced integrative complexity, it also comes with costs in the form of a greater workload relative to other members. We further argue that the increased integrative complexity and workload that result from occupying a position of temporal brokerage have implications that go beyond the boundaries of the focal team, spilling over into other projects the individual is engaged in. Specifically, we predict that being in positions of temporal brokerage on global teams decreases the quantity but increases the quality of an individual’s total productive output. We find support for these predictions across two studies comprising 4,553 individuals participating in global student project teams and 123,586 individuals participating in global academic research teams, respectively. The framework and findings presented in this paper contribute to theories of global teamwork, pivotal roles and leadership emergence in global teams, and social network theory.

Inter-Organisational Coordination Work in Digital Curation: the Case of Eurobarometer

Open research is predicated upon seamless access to curated research data. Major national and European funding schemes, such as Horizon Europe, strongly encourage or require publicly funded data to be FAIR - that is, Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (Wilkinson, 2016). What underpins such initiatives are the many data organizations and repositories working with their stakeholders and each other to establish policies and practices, implement them, and do the curatorial work to increase the available, discoverability, and accessibility of high quality research data. However, such work has often been invisible and underfunded, necessitating creative and collaborative solutions. In this paper, we briefly describe how one such case from social science data: the processing of the Eurobarometer data set. Using content analysis of administrative documents and interviews, we detail how European data archives managed the tensions of curatorial work across borders and jurisdictions from the 1970s to the mid-2000s, the challenges that they faced in distributing work, and the solutions they found. In particular, we look at the interactions of the Council of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA) and social science data organizations (DO) like UKDA, ICPSR, and GESIS and the institutional and organizational collaborations that made Eurobarometer “too big to fail”. We describe some of the invisible work that they underwent in the past in making data in Europe findable, accessible, interoperable, and conclude with implications for “frictionless” data access and reuse today.

Crowdsourcing-Enabled Crisis Collaborative Decision Making

Crisis events put crisis response organizations in a unique and complex situation that requires critical real-time distributed decision-making so that lives and properties are saved and protected. With the growing development of collaborative technologies, citizen participation to the crisis management process has shifted from the passive one-way contribution of social networking data to a more active participation by performing specific tasks related to crisis data processing. This article presents a comprehensive approach for integrating the crowdsourcing process to the collaborative decisional process in crisis situations. Within the approach three aspects are highlighted: the coordination work that exists between the relevant stakeholders in making collective decisions, the modeling of case dependent activities within the decisional process, and the detailed modeling of decision-related tasks. The authors investigate the applicability of the proposal with a real-world case study of the Desert Locust Plague carried out in the Algerian National Institute of Plant Protection.
