Panchayati Raj and Environmental Protection A Study

Environmental imbalance is not only a threat to humans, nature and animals, but also to the human and social environment. In the beginning, human and ecological interactions were balanced, such as population growth, indiscriminate deforestation, hunting of forest animals, development of technical knowledge and excessive exploitation of natural resources have led to environmental problems. Politicians and scholars who consider development as an essential condition of freedom, equality and democracy have forgotten that uncontrolled development leads us to disaster. There is a need to make Panchayat Raj institutions stronger and more democratic to make development proper and co-ordinating. Due to the problem of environmental crisis being worldwide, it is not only the responsibility of the state, government or panchayats, but every citizen has to change his lifestyle, conscious and aware and according to environmental protection. Keeping all these points in mind, a study of the role of Panchayat Raj Institutions in environmental protection has been done in this article.

Technopreneurs Millennial in Indonesia: The Acquisition and Application Knowledge

The development of technical knowledge has encouraged many business activities utilizing communication tools and technologies in business processes. This study aims to test the effect of knowledge acquisition and knowledge application of millennial technopreneurs in Indonesia in utilizing technology for their business activities. A total of 153 respondents were surveyed through online questionnaires. SEM analysis is used to test the research model. This study found that millennial technopreneurs ignore acquiring knowledge about business activities. But significant results showed that millennial technopreneurs immediately applied knowledge without looking at previous knowledge acquisition processes.

The Biomedical Research Pyramid: A Model for the Practice of Biostatistics

Biostatisticians apply statistical methods to solve problems in the biological sciences. Successful practioners of biostatistics have advanced technical knowledge, are skilled communicators, and can seamlesslessly integrate with interdisciplinary scientific teams. Despite the breadth of skills required for success in this field, most biostatistics education programs place heavier emphasis on development of technical skills than skills necessary for collaborative work, including critical thinking, writing, and public speaking. Our master’s degree program in biostatistics aims for stronger integration of education in collaborative work alongside development of technical knowledge in biostatistics. Toward that end, we propose a model that provides students with a mental map for practicing biostatistics, and that can serve as a tool for faculty to create hands-on learning experiences for biostatistics students. The model helps students organize their knowledge of biostatistics, unifying the technical and collaborative aspects of the discipline in a single framework that can be applied across the broad array of activities that biostatisticians engage in. In this article we describe the model in detail and provide an initial assessment of whether the model might meet its intended purpose by applying the model to a common task for practicing biostatisticians and biostatistics students: describing the results of a medical research study.

Perspective of nursing professionals on the discharge of patients suffering from recurrent myocardial infarction

the present study aims to understand how nursing professionals develop their care activities in face of the victim of recurrent acute myocardial infarction in the discharge process from the specialized intensive care unit. It is a research with a qualitative approach anchored in the methodological precepts of Convergent Care Research (PCA), articulating intervention and assistance, divided into two complementary phases, with five professionals working in the coronary intensive care unit of a hospital in the south of Mato Grosso . The data were collected through interviews with the use of a semi-structured script prepared by the authors. From the transcription of the interviews, categories of analysis emerged: “The development of technical knowledge and the execution of routine” and “Praxis and the need for advances in scientific nursing knowledge”. In addition to the assistance aspect, it was possible to understand, through the statements made explicit throughout the study, the absence of the professional nurse in the care process, since they were mentioned in a correlated way with the institutional routines and not as the main agents that propagate health care. care and guidance, especially at discharge from the unit. Thus, it is suggested the planning of the discharge process of the unit, with proper structuring capable of showing the interprofessionality between the care teams working in the unit, and in the context of nursing, its technical-scientific role.

Professional education on the outlying territories of the Russian Empire in the 1880s – early 19th century

The development of professional educational institutions in Russia has become a necessary stage in the development of education. This is due to changes in the socio-economic sphere, the growth and development of trade relations, the development of technical knowledge, as well as the need for specialists in these areas. The Russian Empire underwent modernization processes. This required providing all spheres (economy, social sphere) with trained personnel. This led to the establishment of a network of professional educational institutions. On the outlying territories this happened several decades later and they had their own specifics, for example, the composition of the population (a large percentage of the indigenous population, peasant migrants), as well as the low level of literacy in general. In addition, the establishment of professional educational institutions on these territories was dictated by the private need for a particular area, often a city and a county. Mainly Russian settlers got professional education. However, by the beginning of the 20th century there were more and more students from the indigenous population who were aware of the need and importance of education, who wanted to participate in all-Russian modernization processes.

Introduction to Electrical Safety in High School: Information for Prospective Engineering Students

This article introduces electrical safety to high school students enrolled in a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program called Project Lead the Way (PLTW). PLTW is a nonprofit organization that has developed programs that teach skills such as critical and creative thinking, collaboration, and problem solving based on the development of technical knowledge. The program taught at the Appoquinimink High School in Delaware is the PLTW Engineering pathway. In discussions with the program teacher, the offer of providing a basic introduction to electrical safety was introduced. The plan was to present electrical safety basics to students in the program during the month of May. Topics covered were standardswriting organizations, engineering societies, Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI), electrical engineering with a focus on the power/industrial side (that is, the hazards), and electrical safety around the home. Planned homework assignments were provided. The intention of this program was to create interest in electrical engineering with a focus on electrical safety.

Exploring inter-firm knowledge through contractual governance: A case study of production contracts for faba-bean procurement in France

Abstract A major sustainability challenge in European agriculture is to develop legume production. But organizing new legume supply-chains is a knowledge-intensive process, due to low past investment. In particular, technical knowledge development on crop production requires strong coordination between stakeholders. Even if contractual coordination in the agro-industrial sector is increasing, its role in inter-firm knowledge exchange is poorly understood. Drawing on a qualitative case study, we explore how production contracts strengthened knowledge exchange between a processor and its grain-legume supplier’s in France. Based on Transaction-cost economics and the Relational-view of strategic management, this paper draws an original setting for practitioners and research to analyze contractualization from a learning perspective. The results show that collective contractual governance plays a major role for knowledge development through face-to-face interactions and specific intangible asset investments. This case study opens research agenda to analyze how contractualization brings the stakeholders into a collective progress curve.

СОЦІАЛЬНО-ЦІННІСНА КОНЦЕПЦІЯ ІНЖЕНЕРНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ

All existing models for analyzing the goals and objectives of engineering activities can be divided into two groups. Instrumentalistic (or engineering), considering engineering activity from a technological point of view, and socio-humanitarian, considering the influence of engineering activity on a person and society, possible transformations that occur to a person as a result of the development of technical and technological sphere. The philosophy of technology in its instrumentalistic concepts represents, on the one hand, an attempt by technicians and engineers to develop the philosophy of their professional field. On the other hand, the philosophy of technology in social humanitarian concepts is a combination of the efforts of humanities scholars to comprehend technology as a subject of interdisciplinary reflections.The purpose of this article is to examine the philosophical foundations of the socially-valuable basis of modern engineering activity in a post-industrial society.Original works in this field have been published by both domestic and foreign authors: V. G. Gorokhova, B. I. Kozlova, P. Kozlowski, X. Lenk, N. M. Mamedova, K. Mitchchem, X. Ortegi-i-Gasset, A .N. Pavlenko, V. M. Rozina, M. A. Rozov, V.S .Stepina, P.A. Florensky, M. Heidegger, M. L. Shubas, P. Yanikh, K. Jaspers, and others.The current level of engineering activity shows that it radically transforms nature, society and man. The need for a social and philosophical understanding of engineering activity is determined by the fact that it is the technical subsystem (product of engineering activity) that is a key characteristic in determining the level of development of modern society. Needs, incentives and motives explain how objective determination is realized in the process of subjective engineering activity and act as the mechanism of this realization. The starting point of this determination is objective living conditions of people, which give rise to their needs and goals, which transform objective determination into subjective. Thus, engineering activity, by virtue of its functional purpose, contributes to the creation of technical means for achieving social goals.There are two groups of factors determining the development of engineering activities. The first group: endogenous (internal) patterns, the internal logic of the development of engineering activity, associated with the development of technical knowledge, which affects its substantial side, its elements and structure. The second group: exogenous (external) consistent patterns, caused by social needs and cultural characteristics - the subject of humanitarian philosophy of technology.These patterns determine the conditions for the development of engineering activity and general logic of its development. The process of formation of value concepts about the profession of future engineers is the transfer of the internal socio-cultural content inside their personality. This process is not only the adoption of cultural content by a person, but at the same time it reveals its essence, which is external to a specific sociocultural environment. The process of formation of value concepts about the profession among future engineers is the transfer within their personality of external socio-cultural content (the process of interiorization). This process is not only the adoption of cultural content by a person, but at the same time it reveals its essence, which is external to a specific sociocultural environment.

Engineering education on geosciences in a changing world

Engineering aims to work with what knowledge is available to achieve society's goals (Coyle, Murphy, and Grimson 2007). The current environmental challenges and the characteristics of the labour market mean that the effectiveness of Engineering activities in Geosciences must be increased through the development of technical knowledge and the inclusion of suitable training aimed at solving real cases (European Commission 2010). Human capital – understood as the talents, skills and capabilities of higher education graduates – is perceived as an essential element for sustainable economic growth and development in the globalised economy (Sianesi and Van Reenan 2003). We need, therefore, to rethink our approaches to curriculum, instruction and assessment in science education, particularly because of the rapid growth of the scientific knowledge, tools/technologies and theories that have originated over the last 50 years (Duschl and Grandy 2013).

On the interaction between the growth process and the development of technical knowledge in young and growing technology-based firms

This paper investigates the tensions that exist in young and growing technology-based firms between (1) increasing technological opportunities for further growth and (2) the costs of developing these opportunities. Data from 70 medium-sized, young technology-based firms were used to test two hypotheses concerning changes in the number of separate fields of technical knowledge during growth. Increasing the number of separate fields of technical knowledge increases the technological opportunities available to the firm, but increases the cost of developing and integrating knowledge from multiple fields. The results indicate that tensions between technological opportunities and the costs of technological development in young technology-based firms are created due to both the advances in science and technology and the firms’ growth process itself.

Britain and European Engineering Education

SUMMARY The paper outlines the craft origins of engineering in Britain and its influence upon engineering education. The rapid development of technical knowledge during the past 40 years has led to changes in the content of engineering courses and, in some cases, their duration, although the British system remains very different from those of its European partners. The present period is still one of evolution and there are many changes which are likely to take place in the next few years which may include rationalisation and concentration into fewer but more powerful academic institutions. These changes will result, in great part, from the realisation of the need to adopt a more European attitude and form engineers who can take a full part in the development of a truly European engineering industry which can compete with the rest of the world.

Beyond Elitism and Technicism: Teacher Education as Practical Philosophy

Teacher education, according to Beyer, has too seldom been conceived as either contributing to the maintenance of the liberal arts (elitist) tradition or to the de velopment of technical knowledge. If re- conceived as practical philosophy, teacher education could further the humanistic and democratic impulses of liberal education and reshape the cul ture of the contemporary university. Further, by viewing teacher education programs as instances of practical philosophy committed to reflection, con versation, and action, teacher educators can assist the movement of the modern university away from its allegiances to elitism and tachnicism and toward an education that truly prepares teachers for participation in classroom life.
