ФЕНОМЕН МНОГОЗАДАЧНОСТИ В КОНТЕКСТЕ КУЛЬТУРНО-ИСТОРИЧЕСКИХ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЙ И РАСТУЩЕЙ СЛОЖНОСТНОСТИ В ИНФОРМАЦИОННОМ ОБЩЕСТВЕ

Relevance. Multitasking gets defined socially and dominating with the development of information technologies. It becomes the system of requirements and possibilities for combining, switching and alternating activities of different forms and contents within one complex activity. As a consequence of the technological development of the information society and a result of worldview transformations within the framework of the paradigm of multiplicity of the postmodern culture, the phenomenon of multitasking as a complex form of the activity in the technologized society becomes one of relevant objects of research in psychology and other sciences of man. Purpose. The theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of multitasking as a reflection of a multifaceted nature and variability of the postmodern culture and a result of the entry of digital technologies of the information society into the daily life in the context of the concepts of multiplicity and complexity. Method. The logic and methodology of the study is based on the cultural-historical and activity-based and semantic paradigm. The theoretical and comparative analyses and the method of generalization are employed to achieve the defined goals. Results. The philosophical analysis of socio-cultural, worldview and technological factors that determine the nature of multitasking is carried out. It shows the role of certain philosophical constructs of the postmodern worldview, particular technologies of the information society in developing the basis for the emergence of the phenomenon of multitasking and also its technological embodiment — mediamultitasking. Conclusions. At present, multitasking is the practice imposed by the specific nature of the information-communication activity under the technologization and complexity of the modern realities. Regardless of the attitude to this phenomenon, multitasking is an objective fact of the culture of the information society and, as a result, is one of the prerequisites for an efficient activity under its conditions.

Learning multiple concepts in description logic through three perspectives

AbstractAn ontology formalises a number of dependent and related concepts in a domain, encapsulated as a terminology. Manually defining such terminologies is a complex, time-consuming and error-prone task. Thus, there is great interest for strategies to learn terminologies automatically. However, most of the existing approaches induce a single concept definition at a time, disregarding dependencies that may exist among the concepts. As a consequence, terminologies that are difficult to interpret may be induced. Thus, systems capable of learning all concepts within a single task, respecting their dependency, are essential for reaching concise and readable ontologies. In this paper, we tackle this issue presenting three terminology learning strategies that aim at finding dependencies among concepts, before, during or after they have been defined. Experimental results show the advantages of regarding the dependencies among the concepts to achieve readable and concise terminologies, compared to a system that learns a single concept at a time. Moreover, the three strategies are compared and analysed towards discussing the strong and weak points of each one.

Cultures of Responsibility : The Globalization of Corporate Social Responsibility

This paper explores the global CSR culture, including its global character, institutional rules and mechanisms, non-state participation, and voluntary nature. CSR is an inclusive term, meant to encompass multiple conceptions such as corporate citizenship and sustainability, and also cover an array of human rights, labor, environmental, and employee concerns. There are several observable cultures of responsibility but possibly the most prominent is the global nature of CSR ideas and practices. Current cultural conceptions of CSR thus acknowledge that business operations increasingly span national boundaries and that nation-bound policies may not be adequate to address social and environmental concerns as they emerge from business activities in cross-national context. A core cultural feature of CSR is the increasing rationalization of CSR issues, seen in the rise of CSR rules and mechanisms that explicitly delineate the principles by which businesses should conduct their CSR affairs. The culture of CSR has also largely incorporated a significant non-state component, both in the form of nongovernmental participation but also proactive involvement from businesses themselves. The cultural dimension of CSR is its voluntary nature, focusing on soft rather than hard forms of regulation. The global CSR culture is also marked by several distinctive contentions: private actor dominance, the problem of enforcement, CSR differences between small businesses and transnational corporations, and a governance divide between developed and developing countries. The consolidation of a global CSR culture, with its observable characteristics and areas of contention suggest several promising avenues of research for scholars interested in the cultural and institutional dimensions of corporate responsibility.

Guía de atención remota para pacientes pediátricos con COVID-19

En China a finales del 2019 se puso en conocimiento esta nueva enfermedad denominada SARS-CoV-2, múltiples centros mundiales encargados de la salud pública entre ellos el Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) de Atlanta, Estados Unidos y la Orgaizacion Mundial de la Salud (OMS) publicaron diferentes clasificaciones acordes a cada grupo etáreo, dando mucha importancia a la población pediátrica, el riesgo comparativo en adultos/niños, la importancia de pruebas laboratoriales (prueba en cadena a la polimerasa (PCR) y anticuerpos), y finalmente, se discuten los tratamientos acorde al caso y la gravedad de los pacientes. Por la alta demanda de pacientes y el colapso de los sitemas de salud en todo el mundo y especialmente en los países de latinoamerica donde los sistemas de salud son muy frágiles se llegas a recurrir de herramientas técnológicas como la “Teleconsulta”, recomendada por la OMS.

Criterios de hospitalización y tratamiento. Medidas de bioseguridad, aislamiento y supervisión médica. Y como pilar fundamental de atención la Telemedicina en la era COVID-19.

Reconceptualising parental monitoring within a model of goal-directed parental action

The concept and operationalisation of parental monitoring in adolescent behavioural research is idiosyncratic, and often conflates multiple concepts. This hinders study and understanding of its role in the distinct processes of adolescent development and behaviour. This paper introduces a model of Goal-Directed Parental Action, applied to adolescent crime, in order to situate and thus define the concept of parental monitoring. This model draws on Situational Action Theory to both prioritise motivation and specify a parental action process. This process distinguishes parental goals from the means by which to achieve them and from the knowledge gathering required to evaluate progress towards such goals. Within this framework, parental monitoring is defined as the employment of active information-gathering behaviours by parents to help them to gain knowledge about and evaluate their child's progress towards a range of parentally selected developmental and behavioural goals. In addition to facilitating this definition of parental monitoring, the model of Goal-Directed Parental Action has future potential to clarify other parenting concepts and processes.

CLAVER: An integrated framework of convolutional layer, bidirectional LSTM with attention mechanism based scholarly venue recommendation

Scholarly venue recommendation is an emerging field due to a rapid surge in the number of scholarly venues concomitant with exponential growth in interdisciplinary research and cross collaboration among researchers. Finding appropriate publication venues is confronted as one of the most challenging aspects in paper publication as a larger proportion of manuscripts face rejection due to a disjunction between the scope of the venue and the field of research pursued by the research article. We present CLAVER--an integrated framework of Convolutional Layer, bi-directional LSTM with an Attention mechanism-based scholarly VEnue Recommender system. The system is the first of its kind to integrate multiple deep learning-based concepts, that requires only the abstract and the title of a manuscript to identify academic venues. An extensive and exhaustive set of experiments conducted on the DBLP dataset certify that the postulated model CLAVER performs better than most of the modern techniques as entrenched by standard metrics such as stability, accuracy, MRR, average venue quality, precision@k, nDCG@k and diversity.

Block diagonalization precoding and power allocation for clustering small-cell networks

The clustering network is a solution to improve data-rate transmission in small-cells. In this case, clustering small-cells (CSCs) adopt a multiple antennas concept. The multiple antennas are used to maximize the downlink data-rate transmission at the users, but it requires precoding techniques to minimize interference among CSC users. This paper proposes a block diagonalization (BD) as a precoding technique for minimizing interference among CSC users. The performance of the BD precoding implemented on the clustering network under various numbers of small-cells. The CSC also implements a water-filling power allocation (PA-CoopWF) to distribute the available transmission power along with the CSCs antennas. To show the performance, our paper simulates two types of precoding techniques; those are the proposed BD and minimum mean square error (MMSE) in CSCs. Based on the receiver user parts under the overlapping coordination of CSCs, our method based on the BD precoding achieves considerably higher data-rate transmission compared to the MMSE precoding, especially on larger clusters. The simulation also shows that by implementing CSC with the BD in short-range distances and higher numbers of antennas, it promotes better data-rate performances compared to the MMSE precoding by 2.75 times at distance 100m and 67% at 50 antennas.

Media Medan Perkalian dan Pembagian Bilangan Bulat

Mathematics is considered as a difficult subject for some students, leading to a decrease in students’ interest and motivation in understanding mathematical concept. In the process of classroom teaching and learning, mathematics that seems complicated and makes a bad impression for some students is an obstacle for them in solving daily mathematical problems. To deal with this obstacle, a media innovation in mathematics teaching and learning is deemed necessary as a bridge for students to understand the abstract concepts of mathematical objects through the manipulation of real objects. This paper aims to present how to create and use the media of Medan Perkalian dan Pembagian Bilangan Bulat for elementary school students. This media are quite appropriate as a learning medium used to help students understand the concept of multiplication and division, especially for grade II of elementary school students. Using this medium, students are not only capable to deal with multiplication and the division of integers but also easily understand the concept of multiplication and integers division.

A WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM PERSPECTIVE ON THE QUADRUPLE HELIX MODEL OF INNOVATION

The fourth industrial revolution is a relatively recent phenomenon, underpinned by multiple forces, and thus characterised by both innovation and complexity. Such characteristics bring into play several new concepts that affect societies, ecosystems, leadership, and management in different ways. The need for a model to explain the dynamics of the fourth industrial revolution seems evident from the scope, velocity, and speed of new technologies related to the fourth industrial revolution phenomenon. The quadruple helix model of innovation offers possibilities of bringing together the interplay of multiple concepts both to clarify and to simplify the primary dimensions of the fourth industrial revolution. This article examines these dimensions, and shows how the quadruple helix model potentially connects four movements: triple helix ecosystems, triple management theory, upscaling agility, and epochal society. To review the quadruple helix model, the study employs a three-phased strategy that combines secondary literature sources. This includes, as a prime focus, a perspective from the World Economic Forum as an expression of a prominent and expert view.

Media Literacy for Elementary Education Students: Inquiry into Fake News

This work focuses on facilitating upper elementary students’ media literacy skills development. Students engage in authentic techniques to recognize and verify media content and sources. Relevant background topics follow this structure: (a) introduction including literature review and purpose, (b) brief history of fake news, (c) impacts of misleading information on society, and (d) how to moderate fake news. The final student inquiry adheres to the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies. Students investigate these questions: What is fake news? Why should I care? How can fake news affect people and institutions? Why does fake news affect our lives and societies? Interactive, current resources are included to activate students’ abilities to discern multiple fake news concepts and categories. Extra resources accentuate students’ debate skills regarding free speech rights versus media ambiguity. Recommendations for students’ public informed action solutions are discussed.

From Bread and Roses to #MeToo: Multiplicity, Distance, and the Changing Dynamics of Conflict in IR Theory

A central assumption in industrial relations theory is that conflict is rooted in an enduring difference between the interests of labor and management. In recent years, the reality of work has changed for many, and scholarship has called attention to overlooked dimensions of conflict that depart from this assumption. The authors account for these developments with the concepts of multiplicity and distance. Multiplicity means that a broad range of actors bring diverse goals, tied to identities and values in addition to interests, to the employment relationship. The competing and fluid motivations that stem from these goals alter how actors individually and collectively name conflict. Distance reflects a growing rift between those who control work and those who labor, rooted in prevailing organizational forms and practices and the transformation of institutions. Distance alters actors’ interdependence and their perceived and actual power in addressing conflict. From these observations, the authors derive propositions suggesting directions for research and theory regarding conflict and the institutions through which actors balance goals.

Towards Transparency by Design for Artificial Intelligence

In this article, we develop the concept of Transparency by Design that serves as practical guidance in helping promote the beneficial functions of transparency while mitigating its challenges in automated-decision making (ADM) environments. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the ability of AI systems to make automated and self-learned decisions, a call for transparency of how such systems reach decisions has echoed within academic and policy circles. The term transparency, however, relates to multiple concepts, fulfills many functions, and holds different promises that struggle to be realized in concrete applications. Indeed, the complexity of transparency for ADM shows tension between transparency as a normative ideal and its translation to practical application. To address this tension, we first conduct a review of transparency, analyzing its challenges and limitations concerning automated decision-making practices. We then look at the lessons learned from the development of Privacy by Design, as a basis for developing the Transparency by Design principles. Finally, we propose a set of nine principles to cover relevant contextual, technical, informational, and stakeholder-sensitive considerations. Transparency by Design is a model that helps organizations design transparent AI systems, by integrating these principles in a step-by-step manner and as an ex-ante value, not as an afterthought.

Optimization of Micro-Thruster Cold Gas Propulsion System Design for Space Applications

Comparing the complexity of the hardware and the control system, cold gas micro thrusters are much more simplified than other propulsion thrusters. Numerical calculation was carried out for mass requirement, mass flow rate, valves, feed system and computational fluid dynamics with finite element analysis was used for tank, pipe and nozzle design. Four different materials: Structural steel, Stainless steel, Aluminum and Titanium, were considered for tank design. They were subjected to the same conditions for four different tank geometries. The propulsion system was designed to be able to produce between 1 and 2 minutes of continuous thrust and the sudden impulses of between 0.8 and 1 seconds of gas expulsion, with over 20 impulses as desired thrust time. The mass and the volume needed for multiple tank geometries, concepts, and materials were determined. The main performance characteristics of the micro thrusters evaluated were Pressure Distribution, Velocity Profile, Temperature Distribution, Nozzle Efficiency and the corresponding Mach Number Distribution. This work is to provide a stable and controllable platform for testing equipment that can be ultimately applied to space applications.

Deconstructing water sensitivity: experiences from global cities

Cities around the world today are facing common issues of rapid urbanization, varying climatic conditions, and challenging economies, which are known to impact the environment and quality of life. In response, multiple concepts have emerged related to water management practices over the past few decades. One such recently discussed concept is of Water Sensitive Cities, which envisions a place that judiciously uses its existing resources, building resilience for tomorrow by simultaneously ensuring community participation for sustainability. Synonymous with this notion, there exist other overlapping concepts such as Water Sensitive Urban Design, Low Impact Development, Best Management Practices, Green Infrastructure, and the like. This research intends to deconstruct these concepts and their practices through a review of 120 case studies located across different agro-climatic and water-stressed regions globally. These cases were analyzed for their inclination to three thematic components: society, water sensitive urbanism, and technologies. The evidence suggests that there is not a single water sensitive city in the world today. This paper discusses the Utopian nature of this notion and identifies relevant pathways to explore to reach the destined vision of Water Sensitive Cities.

Simulating cardiac arrest events to evaluate novel emergency response systems

This paper presents a simulation model approach to predict improvements in survival by new out-of-hospital cardiac arrest response systems. Poor cardiac arrest survival rates have motivated the exploration of new response system concepts to augment EMS systems, including citizen responders dispatched by a cell phone app, and the use of drones to deliver an AED to a cardiac arrest location. With few existing studies, the system effectiveness remains largely unknown. A predictive model was developed to understand the improvement these systems may have on cardiac arrest survival. The model uses a geospatial Monte Carlo sampling approach to simulate the random locations of cardiac arrests and the responding agents. The model predicts the response time of EMS, mobile dispatched responders, and drone AED delivery, based on the distance traveled and the mode of transit, while accounting for additional non-transit system factors. A logistic regression model is utilized to translate response times for CPR and defibrillation to a likelihood of survival. The model was developed to simulate and compare multiple response system concepts. The paper presents a case study to demonstrate the model’s utility.

Tradition and subjectivities: Warri-related comedians and their art

By some coincidence, many Nigerian stand-up comedians were born, raised, live in, or are associated with Warri and its environs. By Warri, as understood in the area, we mean Warri and its surroundings and, to a large extent, what is called the ‘core Delta’ of Nigeria’s Delta State. The comedians include Gordons, I Go Dye, AY and Real Warri Pikin. We investigate what is possibly responsible for the natural talent of these comedians. We relate the success of these comedians to the notion of Warri as ‘not coming last’, the history of the city of many ethnicities, boma boys, the blues nature of suffering pain and deprivations but laughing them off, and some indigenous traditions such as the Urhobo udje oral poetic performance which aims to elicit laughter as a means of maintaining normalcy and preventing anybody from deviating from the communally-established norms. We use multiple concepts such as laughter as a means of regulating people’s lives, satire, historicism, culture, and aesthetic considerations to study these Warri-related comedians and their art. We investigate the commonalities, subjectivities, traditions, and individual talents that have made Warri-born, raised, resident, and related comedians so successful—not only in Nigeria, but also in Africa and the world.

Perceptions of Pakistani community towards their mental health problems: a systematic review

Objectives The objective of this research is to explore how Pakistani community perceive their mental health problems by systematically reviewing the scientific literature published on major databases. The findings expectedly will be useful for general public, for clinicians and for the researchers. Methods The methodology of this systematic literature search involved identifying and critically appraising studies that attempted to explore how Pakistani community perceives and understands its mental health problems. We carried out literature search on some major databases including PubMed, Cochrane database of systematic reviews and Google Scholar. We followed selection criteria where researchers aimed to find perceptions and understandings of Pakistani participants regarding their mental health by adopting scientific methodologies. The extraction of data was carried out after reading the selected papers and organising the findings under specific categories, in the form of a table. Data analysis was based on the information gathered from these studies. Results The results suggest that Pakistani community exhibits negligible to little understanding regarding their psychological experiences and emotional processes as separate identifiable entities. Nonetheless, multiple parallel sociocultural concepts such as religion or faith driven practices and mythical or supernatural understandings are highlighted by this research. These are accepted and practiced in order to address mental health problems. Conclusion It appears that Pakistani community has limited understanding and scarce vocabulary to describe their inner psychological and emotional experiences. However, in order to address the mental health issues, the community exhibits a variety of responses and reactions that are driven from several unique social, cultural and religious factors. Whether these are general perceptions or causations or protective factors towards illness or possible treatment options, they all are approached and addressed with some unique understandings and perceptions that are specific to this community.

Review: Craig Lundy, Deleuze’s Bergsonism

A century ago Henri Bergson was a world-wide celebrity. However, after the world wars his philosophy had already fallen into disfavor, disdain and oblivion. Prominent molecular biologists claimed to have hammered the final nail in the coffin of vitalism. Francis Crick himself, with prophetic hubris, called any future vitalist a crank. Things were not much different amongst analytic philosophers who, more concerned with clarity than precision, saw in Bergson’s works hardly more than poetry and mysticism. In fact, ‘vitalism’ became a one-word argument against itself (just utter it and it would count as disproved). And yet, ironically, vitalism refused to die. Half a century ago, Gilles Deleuze wrote a seminal interpretation of Bergson’s philosophy. After providing a concrete articulation of Bergson’s method of intuition, Deleuze studied the progression of Bergson’s concepts of duration, memory, and the élan, and paired them with his own concepts of multiplicity, the virtual and differentiation. Now, in a lucid and crisp book, Craig Lundy unpacks (for the first time) Deleuze’s Bergsonism. Not only does the book afford a better grasp of Bergson’s genius, but it also allows us to trace the origin of some key notions in Deleuze’s philosophy. Moreover, Lundy’s effort is particularly opportune in the context of the current revival of Bergson’s thought. In a time when it is becoming increasingly strenuous to cash the promissory notes of scientific materialism, reductionism and mechanicism, Lundy’s Deleuze’s Bergsonism represents an invaluable opportunity to better understand the philosopher of time and life par excellence.
