The purpose of this study is to suggest a design direction for the digital media conversion process of classical literature learners and to explore ways to apply gamification project activities using a writing workshop model to the field. This process studies what should be considered in the conversion class design and how it can be realized. In this article, designing a digital media conversion class for classical literature, teachers intend learners to focus on where they feel interested or concerned. In addition, Utilizing writing workshops and the gamification process in conversion class were discussed. Meanwhile, a project activity was designed to realize this, and based on this, the media conversion of classical literature contents was realized by dividing the planning stage, the scenario writing stage, the production and demonstration stage, the debugging stage, the publishing stage, and the organizing activity stage.

A coupling optimization method of production scheduling and computation offloading for intelligent workshops with cloud-edge-terminal architecture

With the rapid development and application of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology, the amount of data generated during the operations of intelligent workshops shows an explosive growth trend. Real-time analysis and processing of these data is the premise of rapid intelligent decision-making. Therefore, the cloud-edge-terminal (CET) architecture is usually adopted in manufacturing sites, and the overall delay of data processing can be reduced by designing a reasonable offloading strategy for computing tasks. In general, computing tasks are generated by demand-driven monitoring, measurement, analysis, and decision-making during the executions of production jobs. There is a strong coupling relationship between them, and the scheduling scheme of production jobs largely determines the generation sequence and processing requirements of computing tasks. However, the current optimization methods for production scheduling and computation offloading are carried out separately to pursue their own goals, resulting in that the balance between production efficiency and computing delay cannot be achieved. To this end, this paper proposes a Production scheduling-Computation offloading Coupling Optimization (PCCO) model for intelligent workshops with CET architecture for the first time, which takes the maximum completion time of production jobs and the minimum total offloading delay time of computing tasks as dual optimization objectives. Then a four-layer coding method is designed and an enhanced multi-population multi-objective whale optimization algorithm (EMMOWOA) is proposed to solve the PCCO model. In EMMOWOA, the arithmetic exploration mechanism is adopted to strengthen the exploration ability, and a new leader selection method is proposed to lead the search of population to avoid prematurely trapping into the local optimum; to avoid the loss of diversity, an adaptive multi-population strategy is adopted. A series of comparative experimental results based on multi-objective standard test functions show that the proposed EMMOWOA has better convergence and diversity than the newly proposed multi-objective optimization algorithms, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm improvement strategies. Finally, simulation cases and a practical production case prove that the proposed coupling optimization method can balance production efficiency and computing delay well, and better meet the optimization requirements of intelligent manufacturing sites.

Recognizing territorial vulnerabilities to Zika virus: a participatory health education model

INTRODUCTION: Considering that the engagement of the population in the control of arboviruses should not be restricted to care to avoid domestic foci of the Aedes aegypti, health education initiatives must approach the social health determinants in the territories. OBJETIVE: To describe a proposal for a pedagogical model aimed at community participation in recognizing vulnerabilities to the Zika virus and the main results of its application. METHODS: Based on Paulo Freire’s critical-problematizing pedagogy and within the framework of vulnerability and human rights, a workshop model was developed and applied in participatory research to train community health workers to diagnose local vulnerabilities to the Zika virus in a community of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Four 20-hour workshops were held in weekly meetings with 38 participants. It included activities involving territory mapping, experiences with the virus, and identifying community spaces vulnerable to the proliferation of mosquitos. RESULTS: The proposed pedagogical model identified territorial spaces vulnerable to the proliferation of mosquitoes that do not depend only on the will or behavior of its residents. These aspects are conditioned to social contexts that express the tense relationship between residents, the State, and drug traffickers with a vital power relationship in the territory. CONCLUSIONS: By transcending the traditional vertical health education model, the proposed participatory method was sensitive and timely to capture the participants’ deep knowledge of the territory of residence, not only to identify mosquito foci but, above all, understanding multiple vulnerability determinations.

Round Robin: A New Qualitative Methodology for Identifying Drivers of Violence Against Children

Violence affecting children (VAC) is a significant global health and human rights issue. This article highlights a new qualitative methodology, the Round Robin, for understanding the drivers of violence against children. Traditionally, qualitative research exploring VAC has focused on identifying the risk and protective factors which affect the likelihood a child will experience or witness violence. In recent years, scholars have recognised the need to situate children in their socio-cultural context and consider what causes risk and protective factors; that is, what drives violence at the structural and institutional levels of society. The Round Robin methodology sits within the participatory paradigm and contributes not only to the field of violence research, but to qualitative research more broadly, as it can be adapted to fit diverse social issues and contexts. The Round Robin combines focus groups and participatory techniques in an intensive three-day workshop model inspired by the World Café. In this paper, we firstly introduce the Round Robin methodology and situate it in relation to other approaches. We then describe and critique how the Round Robin methodology was piloted with 136 young people in Zimbabwe to identify drivers of violence affecting children. We then justify the methods used to collect data, and the strategy for data recording and analysis. We conclude by identifying the strengths and weaknesses we uncovered piloting this new methodology in Zimbabwe.

Workshopping failure pedagogy for creative writing studies

This article explores how creative writing studies might draw from elements of writing studies' pedagogy to better understand and improve how failure is conceived of and taught. The author identifies significant magnifiers of failure encounters under the traditional workshop model (as compared to a typical composition course) and proposes a series of zones of mediation aimed at neutralizing, counteracting, and reversing the effects of these magnifiers.

A Digital Literacy Workshop Training Model for Child Parenting in a Fourth Industrial Era

This study aims to describe how a digital literacy workshop model is ideal for parents in the fourth industrial era. The study used a descriptive qualitative method. The data collection techniques used were interviews, observation, and literature study. The research was conducted at Cibeureum, in the South Cimahi Subdistrict, in Indonesia. The research subjects consisted of five parents with children aged 7 to 16 years old. The findings of this study indicate that knowledge, understanding, and skills in using media, especially social media, among parents are still lacking. Hence, leading to inadequate parental supervision of children's activities on social media within the digital age and now the fourth industrial era, which comes with a lot of challenges. The present study established a digital literacy workshop model for parents that may be appropriate through a combination of theory and practice, as well as the mentorship of parents in the guidance of their children within this era of the fourth industrial revolution. The workshop model helps to increase the knowledge and ability of parents in using social media and also helps to improve parental supervision of children in using other forms of technology.

Workshop-based learning and networking: a scalable model for research capacity strengthening in low- and middle-income countries

ABSTRACT Science education and research have the potential to drive profound change in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through encouraging innovation, attracting industry, and creating job opportunities. However, in LMICs, research capacity is often limited, and acquisition of funding and access to state-of-the-art technologies is challenging. The Alliance for Global Health and Science (the Alliance) was founded as a partnership between the University of California, Berkeley (USA) and Makerere University (Uganda), with the goal of strengthening Makerere University’s capacity for bioscience research. The flagship program of the Alliance partnership is the MU/UCB Biosciences Training Program, an in-country, hands-on workshop model that trains a large number of students from Makerere University in infectious disease and molecular biology research. This approach nucleates training of larger and more diverse groups of students, development of mentoring and bi-directional research partnerships, and support of the local economy. Here, we describe the project, its conception, implementation, challenges, and outcomes of bioscience research workshops. We aim to provide a blueprint for workshop implementation, and create a valuable resource for bioscience research capacity strengthening in LMICs.

Tick Box Design: A bounded and packageable co-design method for large workshops

We present Tick Box Design, a rapid co-design method for research and industry that allows users to gather many design ideas from large numbers of participants in a limited time whilst adhering to ethical principles around users understanding their contributions. The method is based on a design workshop model and can be packaged for delivery by remote teams making it well suited for distributed PD work. In this paper we describe an instance of the method in which 198 teenagers in one country, remotely contributed design ideas for a team in another country, across four rapid 60-minute workshops. In a systematic evaluation of the workshop, we take the needs of both sides into account, the teen participants, and the design team. We explore the participants’ ability to contribute ideas and the usefulness of these ideas to the design team. We show that the teenagers successfully participated in the activities and that the process delivered ideas that were useful to the design team. We discuss our evaluation in the context of ethical and useful participation of minors in HCI research and conclude that Tick Box Design is an efficient method that can be packaged for remote use and delivers value for designers and participants.

A writing workshop model to enhance students’ skills in writing essays in Sundanese

Writing is difficult. Having a limited understanding on what to write or the fear of getting grammar or spelling errors is often a major problem for students when they are instructed to write something, be it an essay or an article. Such difficulties are respective for Sundanese language classes in West Java. The study reported in this paper aims to investigate a number of fundamental problems of writing in Sundanese classes at a Junior High School. The study seeks to address the problems in the area of teaching writing in Sundanese classes by providing a comprehensive picture of the practice of a writing workshop model in the selected class. The study is classroom action research taking place in a public Junior High School in West Java, specifically in a Sundanese language class. The participants of the study were 36 students of 9th grade (comprising 14 male students and 22 female students) in 2018-2019 academic years. There were 3 cycles involved in this action research implemented throughout a semester. The study revealed that the use of the writing workshop model in teaching writing in Sundanese could improve the students’ writing skills. The writing workshop model, which focused on personal analysis and peer-feedback in the essay writing process, facilitated 9th grade students in producing, evaluating, and presenting essays within their respective groups. A supportive social environment in groups allowed for students’ enjoyment in writing. This environment thus led students to be exposed to varied topics and linguistic expressions in multi-social contexts. This study suggests that there are potential benefits from implementing the writing workshop model in the practice of teaching writing. Therefore, language teachers are suggested that they should apply this model in their teaching of writing. Through this model, students will be more engaged in their writing classes and learn writing in more meaningful, fun, creative, and dialogic ways.

Playing ethnographically living well together: Collaborative ethnography as speculative experiment

How can we live well together? The question is critical for cities, where “wicked problems” like failing infrastructure, natural and industrial disaster, and epidemic disease pose threats to diverse forms of life. Because such problems are by definition world-shattering, it is notoriously difficult for city-dwellers to agree on how to think about them, much less overcome them. This essay sketches a collaborative ethnographic approach for co-conceptualizing wicked problems. Proyecto Buen Vivir (The Living Well Project) features a series of multisector experimental workshops conducted over four years in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua. This workshop model draws on collaborative research design and active learning strategies from both Nicaraguan and North American pedagogical traditions. Collaborative methods have historically identified and addressed the discrete problems. Given that common understanding can be rather more elusive when grappling with wicked problems, this essay argues for collaborative methods oriented to speculation and play might also be more generative.

Modified Larssen solution (MLS)-fixed cadaver model for transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) education: a feasibility study.

Training formats for transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) are limited. Our aim was to create and investigate a TOETVA training model for general and ENT surgeons. A total of 15 modified Larssen solution (MLS) human cadavers were used in the study. A day duration TOETVA human cadaver workshops were offered in two years consecutive. Post-training verbal and online questionnaires were applied to all trainers to evaluate course structure and program, organoleptic characteristics of MLS-fixed human cadavers, and TOETVA training effectiveness. Cost assessment is included in the study. Ninety-eight participants, i.e., 14 trainers and 84 hands-on (HO) and observer (OB) trainees, attended the workshops, completed the tasks assigned, and fulfilled the questionnaires. Implementation of all steps of TOETVA was approved positively by 89.8% of all participants, 94.4% of HO, and 83.3% of OB trainees. Regarding human cadaver and teaching quality, 10.8 ± 0.8 (10-12) human cadavers were "practical" by 13.2 (94.5%) of the trainers, and by 33.3 (92.5%) of the trainees for all steps of TOETVA. The cadavers were stored for 4.53years and used 6.27 times repeatedly for endoscopic workshops and research studies. TOETVA workshop cost with repeatable use of MLS-fixed human cadaver is half of other performed TOETVA workshops. A TOETVA human cadaver workshop model has not been reported yet. Our findings suggest the feasibility of MLS-fixed human cadaver model for training of TOETVA, preserve the organoleptic properties necessary for the implementation of surgical steps, and reduce the cost.

Task package division method for the integrated scheduling framework of mixed model car-sequencing problem

Car mixed model production can realize that cars with different models can be produced in a same production line at the same time, which is an effective way to respond the diversified market demand timely. How to design the optimal and feasible car sequences for multi car workshops is a key point for each car manufacturing enterprise. This paper presents an integrated scheduling framework of mixed model car-sequencing problem that includes order sequencing, task package division, and integrated scheduling of mixed model workshops. In this paper, task package division problem as the middle link of the integrated scheduling framework is concerned and investigated, considering the stereo garbage inventory and subsequent scheduling factors of multi workshops. Then, a mathematic model is constructed optimizing three objectives: (1) maximize the proportion of extra inventory cars in buffer; (2) minimize the number of car type changeover and color changeover in the task package; (3) minimize the difference of car type and quantity in the task package. Furthermore, an evolutionary algorithm based on solution information is presented to solve the model. In the proposed algorithm, three strategies adopting domain knowledge and solution information generated on iteration process are utilized to improve the searching ability and efficiency of the algorithm. The validity of the algorithm is verified by a real case. The computational results reveal that the proposed model and algorithm obtain appropriate results and have the potential to be applied to other similar problems.

A Virtual, Multi-Session Workshop Model for Integrating Patient and Public Perspectives in Research Analysis and Interpretation

The importance and value of engaging patients and the public as co-researchers (i.e., “patient engagement in research”) is becoming more evident, and guiding methods must be available for researchers conducting their work at different points along the engagement spectrum. This article provides a virtual workshop model for integrating patient and public stakeholder perspectives in data analysis and interpretation. The model is based upon a critical reflection on the methods that underlaid the consultation stage of our scoping review on patient and caregiver preferences for cardiac surgery. It involves four virtual workshop sessions held on separate days, each achieving the unique goals of (a) establishing participants’ technological literacy within the virtual platform, (b) obtaining responses to the research question, (c) introducing participant perspectives into research analysis and interpretation, and (d) prioritizing research findings or future research agendas. Further, a description of the considerations related to virtual engagement, including those pertaining to equity, diversity, and inclusion; features of the virtual platform; and roles for the research team are provided. This paper contributes toward a methodological toolkit for patient engagement in research, especially as an adjunct to research with otherwise minimal patient engagement. It also adds to the emerging literature on practical approaches to patient engagement in research as more engagement is occurring virtually.

Affordable Low-Cost Home-Made Skull Model for Interactive Neurosurgical workshops: Experience with Hands-on Intracranial Pressure Monitoring at 2 International Neurosurgical Conferences

Undergraduate neurosurgery conferences are acknowledged to play an important role in bridging the gap between a limited exposure to neurosurgery within medical schools and a highly competitive application process. Hands-on workshops are attractive for any conference but can be prohibitively expensive, especially for student societies. We describe our method to manufacture a low-cost skull model, which we used for a hands-on intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring workshop station at 2 international neurosurgical conferences. We describe the workflow for our ICP monitoring workshop using these models. Our model acts as an appropriate substitute for more professional simulators while adequately mimicking the sensation of skull drilling, dural puncture, and intraparenchymal ICP bolt and probe insertion. All tools and resources are accessible from local markets and can be sourced online. A total of GB£100 was spent making 5 skull models and took 2 hours to manufacture by 3 individuals. The ICP monitoring workshop was carried out 3 times over 40 minutes, with each session accommodating 18 or 19 delegates (N= 55). These workshop models have been praised by medical students for increasing exposure and awareness toward neurosurgical procedures and the sophistication of investigations used by the specialty. Consultant neurosurgeons have praised the simulation provided by these models as closely mimicking the procedure in reality.

Dynamic Data Scheduling of a Flexible Industrial Job Shop Based on Digital Twin Technology

Aiming at the problems of premature convergence of existing workshop dynamic data scheduling methods and the decline in product output, a flexible industrial job shop dynamic data scheduling method based on digital twin technology is proposed. First, digital twin technology is proposed, which provides a design and theoretical basis for the simulation tour of a flexible industrial job shop, building the all‐factor digital information fusion model of a flexible industrial workshop to comprehensively control the all‐factor digital information of the workshops. A CGA algorithm is proposed by introducing the cloud model. The algorithm is used to solve the model, and the chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to maintain the particle diversity to complete the dynamic data scheduling of a flexible industrial job shop. The experimental results show that the designed method can complete the coordinated scheduling among multiple production lines in the least amount of time.

Organization of supply air supply in workshops for the production of reinforced concrete products

The production of reinforced concrete products is accompanied by the release of dust into the volume of the workshop, which has a negative effect on the air condition of the working area and on the health of workers in these industries. In the article, using the example of a workshop for the production of reinforced concrete slabs, the trajectory of the particles of emitted dust is shown according to the workshop model constructed and calculated by the SPH method. Methods of supplying supply air to the working area are considered. Under the same initial conditions, the numerical values of the speed of the supply air were calculated for each method of air supply and the most suitable scheme for this workshop is selected.
