Organizational links and sensemaking in a medical work cooperative system

PurposeThe aim of this article was to analyze how the presence of the elements that constitute organizational links are related to sensemaking in a cooperative system of medical work.Design/methodology/approachA content analysis was conducted following interviews with the managers of the cooperative, which is a member of the Brazilian cooperative system and one of the largest in the world. This analysis enabled the systematization of the categories that were identified through the coding of responses, aided by Atlas.ti 8.0 software.FindingsAfter the analysis, it was possible to resize the constitutive elements identified in the specialized literature into three categories: identification, cooperation and recognition. The proposed resizing does not preclude the presence of the constitutive elements identified in the analysis, but it evidences the presence of these elements in a contextualized manner, suggesting a model of an organic organizational link that is dependent on the relationship between subject–object (organization), in which the different perceptions of meanings affect identification, and this can strengthen or weaken the link in a constant process of resignification.Originality/valueWith regard to its theoretical relevance, the work helps to bring concepts related to organizational links and sensemaking closer together as a process in the realm of intersubjectivity. This provides evidence of the presence of constituent elements of ties in a contextualized manner, demonstrating that the interpretation of managers aids sensemaking in a process of circularity and resignification.

TECHNIQUES OF CREATING THE ABSURD IN YU. MORITS’ AND A. GIVARGIZOV’S POEMS FOR CHILDREN

The purpose of the work is to reveal the principles of the functioning of the absurdity, where it is characterized as a category of text, which is based on the reduction to absurdity (reductio ad absurdum). The article studies the methods of creating the absurd in poems for children by Y. Moritz (“Bouquet of cats”, “Bureau of burnt things”, “Lemon Malinovich Compress”, “Laughing confusion”, «Wonderful deeds») and A. Givargizov (“Notes of a hunter’s dog”, “No unauthorized entry”, “Uncustomarily”). It also distinguishes between the levels of text organization, at which absurdity is created by two poets. For Y. Moritz, a play is going at the basic level of the object organization of the text (subsystem of episodes), for A. Givargizov, it goes at the external level of the object organization (subsystem of internal vision frames) and at that of compositional speech forms. The article also analyzes the figurative system of poems, which makes it possible to determine the materiality and visuality of Y. Moritz’ and A. Givargizov’ poems as the key features of their poetry. One of the main features of the poetics of the absurd in Y. Moritz’s poems is the activation of materialized phenomena and objects, as a result of what the poems acquire a rich plot and cinematic quality

Discrete-Continuous Approach and Terminology: Description of Energy-Information Interaction

The objective is to study definitions that describe energy-information interactions under a discrete-continuous approach to the model of person. Materials and methods. The research used the general scientific methodology of systems analysis. According to it, a scientific and theoretical study does not consider relatively independent components separately, but in a combination, in a system with others. A systems approach made it possible to reveal integrative, systematic features and qualitative characteristics absent in individual elements forming the system. To define the terminology that describes energy-information interactions, the research used a discrete-continuous approach. The research object was the existence of appropriate terminology that meets the requirements of modern science. Results. The paper presents a model describing a person in the form of a discrete-continuous system, with the focus on energy aspects and information technology. Information technology systemizes knowledge representation, creates logical and computational tools for establishing regularities from primary information arrays, constructs information systems. The research clarified the following terms: infotomation is obtaining information knowledge on the layer-by-layer structure of the study object organization; information indicators are natural indicators transformed into a normalized relative form, according to the natural indicator position on the scale of its change. The form makes it possible to obtain an information evaluation of the system state by this indicator; information model is an information knowledge in a formula or algorithmic form. Conclusions. The research studied the definitions that describe energy-information interactions for the systems of material points and continuous medium.

Modern Building Materials and the Concept of "Sustainability Project"

The term "sustainable development" came in to use in 20th century and can be regarded as the set of mind notion. The International Union of Architects by the Copenhagen Declaration (December 7th, 2009), noted that "the concept of sustainability project" recognizes that all architectural and urban objects are part of a complex interactive system linked to their natural environment" [1]. The search for modern energy efficient building materials and technologies should be linked to the energy-efficient landscaping and typological object organization. Proposed scientific method provides the criteria of "sustainability project" in terms of modern energy efficient building materials usage. The modern construction materials building projected method suggested to be the part of complex interactive system linked to its natural surroundings based on the object energy-efficient organization properties (architectural, landscape and typological).

Modeling Method of 3D Standard Parts Library Based on Virtual Prototyping Technology

This paper proposed a virtual prototyping-based modeling method of standard parts library. After the design requirement analysis, the modeling approach was put forward. Then the parameter-driven method and its use method were then proposed. The classes object organization relationship was identified step by step. The fastening feature tree structure logical relationship was present as an example, which demonstrates that this method is obviously helpful to product design.
