Cross-Departmental Collaboration Approach for Earthquake Emergency Response Based on Synchronous Intersection between Traditional and Logical Petri Nets

In order to reduce the harm of earthquakes to human society, all governments actively promote the construction and development of earthquake emergency rescue work. The earthquake emergency response involves many departments, multiple personnel and large rescue forces, which presents a great challenge to the ability to carry out cross-departmental rescue work in a collaborative and joint manner. A novel collaboration approach based on traditional and logical Petri nets is proposed to improve the cross-departmental collaboration in earthquake emergency response. The approach extends the synchronization of transitions in traditional Petri nets to that of traditional and logical transitions in traditional and logical Petri nets, and defines the intersection of related logical functions. The approach builds a model for the earthquake emergency response plans of various departments with the help of traditional and logical Petri net models, and then performs synchronous intersection operations on the two kinds of Petri nets and merges the two kinds of Petri nets into new logical Petri nets. Meanwhile, through realizing the collaboration ability of cross-departmental work, the approach improves the rescue efficiency and reduces the damage of the earthquake emergency.

The Factors Affecting Innovative Behavior: An Employee Assessment System Based on Knowledge Creation

Organizations thrive on the innovative behavior of their personnel, but the specific factors that influence such behavior are not widely established, especially in the Thai context. An examination of the literature reveals that the knowledge management (KM) process, which has its basis in the process of knowledge creation known as the SECI process, serves to promote innovative behavior and is a key driver of competitive advantage within innovative organizations. This research study sought to determine which factors account for success in innovation, and to establish an assessment system to evaluate employee innovation. The study sample comprised 500 employees from companies operating in the technology sector. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out, and an eight-factor model was formulated on the basis of the available data. The eight factors in the model were determined to have a significant influence on the success of innovative behavior observed in Thai companies. The relevant factors comprised Sharing of knowledge (SK), Self-efficacy (SE), Problem solving skills (PS), Collaboration ability (CA), Culture of innovation (CI), Organizational support (OS), Culture of learning (CL), and Executive leadership (EL). Within the organizational context, the findings reveal the statistically significant contribution of Sharing of knowledge, Culture of innovation, Organizational support, and Self-efficacy in the promotion of innovative behavior. The study results may prove helpful for organizations wishing to assess the innovative capabilities of their staff, while the success factors may be implemented within organizations through the practical application of an assessment system. Also, by filling a research gap in the literature review, this work will be beneficial to academics and researchers in order to better promote innovative behavior.

The Interaction Mechanism and Dynamic Evolution of Digital Green Innovation in the Integrated Green Building Supply Chain

Although building enterprises are actively developing towards the direction of an integrated building supply chain (IBSC), they still face many difficulties in digital green innovation (DGI) activities. The purpose of this study is to reveal the interaction mechanism between the digital integration degree, green knowledge collaboration ability, and the DGI performance of IBSC enterprises in DGI activities under the influence of environmental characteristics of the integrated supply chain. In this study, firstly, a hierarchical regression method and a structural equation model are used to empirically study the static mechanism of DGI among enterprises in the IBSC. Secondly, this study adopts a complex system theory to construct a logistic dynamic analysis model to explore a dynamic evolution mechanism. The results of the study are as follows. (i) The digital integration degree and green knowledge synergy ability of the IBSC are conducive to improvements in digital green innovation performance among the enterprises involved in this chain. The digital integration degree of this chain is the dominant factor affecting the performance of digital green innovation among these enterprises. (ii) The digital network capability of this chain has a significant impact on its digital integration degree but has no significant effect on green knowledge synergy ability. The quality of digital relationships in the IBSC affects both the digital integration degree and green knowledge synergy ability. It has a higher impact on the digital integration degree than on the synergy ability of green knowledge. The resilience of the IBSC can effectively promote the improvement of digital integration and green knowledge synergy ability, but has no significant effect on digital green innovation performance. (iii) In the early stage of an IBSC, the effect of the digital integration degree on DGI performance is more obvious. Over the long term, under the effect of different digital relationship qualities of the IBSC, green knowledge collaboration ability plays a pivotal role. Improving this ability is conducive to the continuous improvement of DGI performance.

In addition, resource restructuring plays an intermediary role between digital capability and business model innovation.

Connecting knowledge: First-year health care students’ learning in early interprofessional tutorials

ABSTRACT Collaboration across professional boundaries is an essential aspect of health care, and interprofessional education (IPE) is a common way to help increase students’ collaborative abilities. Research on how and when IPE should be arranged in a curriculum remains, however, inconclusive. How students actually develop interprofessional competencies have been difficult to demonstrate and is still an under-researched area. Studying IPE in context is therefore important to understand its full complexity. This paper examines how students work with scenarios from professional health care contexts when learning together in interprofessional problem-based learning tutorials during the first year of undergraduate education. The data are video-recorded tutorials of students from medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, and physiotherapy programmes. The analysis focuses on students’ discussing their readings of the literature. Drawing on “Communities of Practice,” findings show that students discuss and connect professional knowledge, with “brokers” (the tutors) and “boundary objects” (scenarios) supporting the emergence of students’ professional knowledge. The scenarios, as boundary objects, also enabled the students to turn into brokers themselves. The paper contributes to research on interprofessional learning and offers support for implementing IPE in the early stages of undergraduate education.

Novel Industry Engagement approaches for academic projects leading to internships, placements, and entrepreneurships

A popular pedagogical approach in engineering education that has been proven to be successful in building problem-solving, design, and collaborative abilities is project-based learning. Giving students freedom to choose the type and scope of the projects they want to work on has apparent advantages but doing so without professional advice or a defined plan of action can lead to confusion, frustration, and unmet expectations. Additionally, engineering schools must give their students the chance to interact with industry during their studies, which can be challenging owing to logistical and time constraints. This paper describes a case study in which undergraduate computer science and computer engineering students met with business professionals to get feedback during the last stage of project implementation. Students presented their concepts to faculty members and industry guests on campus in the form of a project poster. The success of the strategy in raising students' self-efficacy and performance is attested to by internships, employability, and evaluation results, as well as by the satisfaction of the participants. The proposed research continues with suggestions for engineering educators who want to put similar initiatives into practice as well as a brief description of the authors' future goals.

Coordinated scheme for expansion planning of transmission system with active distribution system flexibility provision

The extensive access of distributed renewable energy at the level of distribution network makes the distribution grid have the ability of active regulation similar to the transmission grid, and the power exchange between transmission and distribution systems becomes more flexible bidirectional. In order to make full use of the complementary collaboration ability between the distribution and transmission systems, this paper proposes a flexible planning method of transmission system coordinated with distribution system for the future scene of high proportion renewable energy. This collaborative optimization framework is a double-layer structure: The upper layer goes on the expansion planning of transmission system, and the lower layer goes on the operation simulation of distribution grid. The upper-level model transfers the marginal price of nodes to the lower-level model, and the lower-level model feeds back the purchase and sale agreement to the upper model. The linear transformation of the model is deployed using piecewise linearization and big-M method. We use the strong duality theory to transform the original double problem into an equivalent single-layer form, and then the effective solution of the commercial application is realized. Aiming at the high proportion renewable energy in transmission and distribution systems, the performance of the formulated problem is validated by comparative analyses of examples.

Graph convolutional neural networks‐based assessment of students' collaboration ability

AbstractAs 21st‐century skills have become increasingly important, collaboration ability is now considered essential in many areas of life. Different theoretical frameworks and assessment tools have emerged to measure this skill. However, more applied studies on its implementation and assessment in current educational settings are required. This research accordingly uses Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GCNs) to assess students' collaboration ability from students' assignments. The Pearson correlation coefficient is used to measure the similarity of the level of students' collaboration ability, and similar students are linked together to establish an adjacency matrix. By sorting through relevant literature and selecting the feature words that represent the strength of collaboration ability, calculating the similarity between the preprocessed student data and each selected feature word, after which the highest value of the similarity as the feature value of the student for this feature and establish the student feature matrix. Finally, the GCNs are jointly trained by the adjacency matrix and the feature matrix. The results show that this method can effectively assess students' collaboration ability. Moreover, compared with other text classification methods, the GCNs selected in this paper has higher accuracy.

Teamwork Skills Education in Themed Role-Playing Games in Preschool

This study aimed to investigate the current state of education on the development of children's cooperative abilities via the use of themed role-playing games in Dak Lak, Vietnam. The period between March through June 2019 was devoted to administering an online survey for data collection. The findings indicate that preschools have devoted attention, effort, intellect, and time to developing primary students' collaboration abilities. Despite this, the findings are still relatively low and do not reflect the proportional number of participants. The youngsters aged 5 to 6 years old have shown that the measures benefit their ability to collaborate with others. The youngsters are more engaged in the activity, taking the initiative, and showing enthusiasm for interacting with one another. The experimental and control groups were quite different regarding their ability to collaborate effectively. In comparison to the youngsters in the control group, those in the experimental group demonstrated superior collaboration skills on a more consistent and regular basis.

An Integration of Project-based Learning and Haptic Senses: A Case Study in Architectural Education

This research examines a mixed pedagogical approach that improves students’ learning capabilities in multidimensions, ranging from architectural knowledge and skills, collaborative ability, to communication proficiency with foreign peers. Based on their own initiatives and interests, students utilized their haptic senses--the characterization of formal and spatial perceptions obtained through bodily movements, touches, and other sensibilities--to develop and explore the selected objects and subjects of inquiries on architecture of central and northern Thailand via workshops and field trips, which become a basis for this study. Being an integration of a project-based and haptic way of learning, the upcoming investigations look into several phases of scholarly activities, including selections of the applicants, topic proposals, analyses and syntheses of case studies, presentations, as well as exhibition of students’ works. As for its methodological tools for data collection and interpretation, the research employs a combined quantitative and qualitative means--e.g., evaluative and observatory worksheets coupled with satisfactory questionnaires--to assess the academic performance, architectural skills, behavioral parameters of the participants, providing a ground to argue that: 1) the students had gained a higher body of knowledge and architectural skills via their haptic experiences with the built environment; and 2) such a project based-learning (PBL) had contributed to substantial improvements on the academic performance of the students.
