Chaos Theory and Garbage Can Model as Effective Strategies for Decision Making in Educational Institutions

Chaos is explained as complexity, instability, unpredictability, nonlinearity, and in the trash can model, conflicts, restrictions, differences, dynamic environment, instability of participation, complex organizations, and unstable conditions have importance. The garbage can model explains this tendency in organizations that often experience very high degrees of uncertainty. The aim of the current study is to discuss how the manager can benefit from the trash can model within the framework of their proactive personality in cases of chaos that may occur during the education management process. A case study design from qualitative research methods was used in the study. The research data were obtained, analyzed, evaluated and interpreted with the document analysis technique. The literature on chaos theory and the garbage can model used in administrative decision-making was systematically examined and synthesized. In general, the question sought to be answered is how education and school systems can effectively manage chaos and complexity. Thus, a new and different understanding and perspective will be tried to be created for effective school management. Within the scope of the current research, the following suggestions can be offered to education administrators: Creating a simple and flexible organization and organizational structure, giving importance to the detection of pre-learning and experiences (cognitive, emotional, motor, social aspects) in individuals, the need for education and school administrators to be proactive and behave accordingly. As a result, in school improvement efforts, despite linear organizational charts and development plans, schools are not linear but chaotic systems. This situation brings about the fact that schools cannot be managed from the top. Also, plans in schools should be short-term (1-2 years) rather than long-term (5-10 years) and should focus on the process rather than the product.

The Algorithm and the Org Chart: How Algorithms Can Conflict with Organizational Structures

Algorithms are introducing changes to individuals? jobs, but do algorithms also lead to changes in the structures of organizations themselves? Organizational structures, as often formalized into organization (org) charts, are meant to facilitate coordinated decision-making. Yet our 10-month ethnographic study of a large online retail company reveals why the organizational structures that facilitate effective decision-making by humans may be in tension with the organizational structures that facilitate effective decision-making using algorithms. Our findings show that the human decision-makers needed small, divided-up sets of decisions, and they had previously accomplished this through how they structured individuals' roles and teams in the org chart. In contrast, when data scientists developed a new algorithm and first deployed it within organizational structures meant to support human decision-making, they realized that these small divided-up decision spaces were arbitrarily constraining the algorithm's search space. When not constrained in this manner, the algorithm could identify and recommend better solutions, but those optimal solutions did not always align with the structure of roles and teams in the org chart. This study suggests that as algorithms are integrated into the workplace, organization designs may begin to more explicitly reflect the contours of those algorithms' behaviors.

Typology and Development of Value Chains in Science, Technology and Innovation Organizations: Efficiency of Operating Model

The structure and activities of science, technology and innovation organizations should be reviewed in planning for change in accordance with (a) a framework operating model, (b) principles of organizational structures and (c) value chains in order to identify (1) areas of inefficiency, (2) the existence and maturity of chain links as well as (3) gaps with best practice. The operating model of organizations, whose support, development and effectiveness are influenced by legislation, budget and external factors, includes many components, from management policy to culture. Changes in organizational charts together with renaming of departments sometimes look like promising reforms. However, in any case, values brought by organizations should be put on the agenda. Social effect of science, technology and innovation as a contribution to public good or a measure of the social good extend to groups in society or to the whole of society both directly and indirectly, for example, through other values and social mechanisms of influence. In this article, the following typology of values is used in the context of the innovation ecosystem and discussions on public good: internal, economic, social and humanitarian ones. The last three values are often generalized by the term “impact”. Internal values of science and technology express the essence of development that knowledge is built on knowledge, and thereby increase the level and readiness of organizations. We consider links in the value proposition chains produced by these organizations, from planning to legal support management. Current national macro factors that influence them are formulated. The contemporary generation of the innovation ecosystem in the Republic of Kazakhstan is characterized by a lack of a group of elements that determine national internal and external goals, ways to achieve them, as well as monitoring the results of activities and impact. This article aims to formulate and study the linking of management at the level of the principles of the organizational structure and the framework operating model to the values at the level of the introduced typology, which are created in a certain way by science, technology and innovation organizations. In terms of research and practical significance, this allows for a detailed review, identification of areas of inefficiency and gaps with best practice. And then, by formulating and implementing initiatives, this allows to increase their capabilities and effectiveness taking into account the ambiguity and delayed nature of results of scientific, technological and innovative activities, as well as specific external national and international factors that influence organizations. Comparing value chain links to the typology of values, we have identified a specific distribution of their influence of on the types of these values. In terms of academic and theoretical significance, this study also attempts to reveal contradictions between resulting and procedural values in science, technology and innovation organizations by examining the development of value chains and the context of public good.

Gender Equality in Publishing and Communication of the Vine and Wine

The wine sector has historically been dominated and led by men, but in recent decades many women have started to occupy various roles, from production to marketing. However, disparities persist in terms of career progression, as well as contractual and salary treatment. Unfortunately, the available data is often fragmented and not always representative, as gender equality reports are not widespread and do not always take into account the positions in the organization chart. In wine communication women are still often represented in a stereotypical manner, although some recent articles and books have begun to denounce the existence of the gender gap and the lack of visibility for women in top roles in companies, consortia, academies, and editorial offices as well as in wine and vine events. The article presents a series of data on the presence of women in events, panels and conferences in the sector and analyzes the opportunities (existing or missed) related to visibility or to its lack in such occasions, before presenting the case of Millevigne magazine, which represents an example of female leadership in the technical publishing sector.

Interdisciplinary centers for autoimmune diseases in Germany

Interdisciplinary medical treatment is required to care for patients with complex autoimmune diseases. Although there are an increasing number of interdisciplinary centers for autoimmune diseases in Germany, they are not yet available throughout the country and the focuses and interdisciplinary structures are not organized according to agenerally agreed standard. Furthermore, they are not regularly reflected in the general care structure. To analyze the care structure using as an example an established center and aclinical case to demonstrate the usefulness of in-house standardized procedures. In order to determine the status quo regarding interdisciplinary centers for autoimmune diseases in Germany, a university hospital is exemplarily presented for astructural analysis and acase presentation from another center to demonstrate the importance of an interdisciplinary patient care. At the selected center for autoimmune diseases of the university hospital, patients with autoimmune diseases receive interdisciplinary care from experts from various disciplines. The structures are anchored in an organizational chart. The case report demonstrates astandardized diagnostic and therapeutic pathway (standardized operating procedures, SOP) in apatient with systemic sclerosis and lung involvement. The article discusses which measures are necessary across disciplines for comprehensive diagnostics and treatment of certain autoimmune diseases, which challenges arise during implementation and which advantages can arise compared to guidelines because, among other things, they can be immediately adapted. The establishment of anational consensus for the structure, necessary settings and implementation into patient care within an interdisciplinary center for autoimmune diseases is desirable.

Los retos de la Comunicación Estratégica de los museos ante la nueva Era Digital

Understanding the strategic nature of communication is essential for achieving institutional objectives, not only because of the preponderance it must have but also the profile of those who lead it. Through in-depth interviews with communication experts, the analysis of the functions these units perform and the tools they use, an approach is made to the strategic level given to this area in museums. Based on the ranking of the most visited museums in Spain by El Diario, the number of members of the communication team, professional profiles, experience, and platforms used to exercise communication are analyzed, allowing us to understand how this practice is carried out. It was detected that communication is not centralized in a department, thus reducing its strategic meaning. Furthermore, within the organization chart, the communication units do not have a directive or decision-making nature, preventing aligned and cohesive communication.

AI Implementation Strategies in the Spanish Press Media: Organizational Dynamics, Application Flows, Uses and Future Trends

This research analyses the artificial intelligence application strategies adopted by the Spanish press media at the height of the generative AI boom, extending previous studies on integrating AI technology into journalistic routines. We studied the dynamics of implementation of AI solutions in the main newspapers in Spain, determining the departments or professionals involved, the current uses, and how AI affects their organization chart and professional profiles, as well as providing insights into the future trends of this technology in the sector. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology was employed, based on interviews with a purposive sample of executives from the 10 newspapers with the largest circulation in Spain: El País, La Vanguardia, Marca, La Voz de Galicia, As, ABC, El Mundo, El Correo, El Diario Vasco and Mundo Deportivo. The results reveal that AI is conceived in the Spanish press media as an assistant aimed at optimizing all kinds of mechanical processes and existing products, not at amplifying coverage or generating final pieces that reduce the standard of quality essential to their subscription model. Groups such as Prisa, Vocento or Unidad Editorial centralize their AI strategy, while Grupo Godó delegates this management to its headers. These newspapers consider that AI will boost the renewal of job profiles in their structures, despite the fact that they do not currently have strictly specialized professionals.

Introduction to Different Diagrams Commonly Used in Literature

Diagrams help researchers and authors communicate and visualize complex concepts, data, and relationships effectively to a broader audience, including scientists, students, and the general public (Garcia-Retamero & Cokely, 2017). Visual representations can convey information more clearly and succinctly than paragraphs of text (Divecha et al., 2023; Duquia et al., 2014; Nguyen et al., 2021). Diagrams can take various forms, such as flowcharts, organizational charts, network diagrams, Venn diagrams, and others, and they are commonly used in various fields like business, engineering, science, education, and software development to illustrate processes, systems, relationships, and concepts. They help organize information, clarify relationships, identify patterns, and display data in an organized and visually attractive manner (Divecha et al., 2023; Duquia et al., 2014; Nguyen et al., 2021).

Management of marketing activities in agricultural enterprises producing white sea buckthorn

Marketing management in a practical sense means management that uses marketing concepts, i.e. the management of an enterprise that has adopted and uses the marketing view or philosophical vision of marketing in its development process. The management of marketing activity of the enterprise in which there is the branch of production of white currant there must be organizational structures through which each employee, with different functions, level of training and duties, has the opportunity and obligation to act on the basis of marketing strategies, as well as responsibility centers. The concept of actively influencing market requirements also implies effective management of specialized marketing activity, i.e. activities related to product, pricing, placement and promotion policies. In order to establish appropriate management of marketing activity and to position it as effectively as possible in the organizational chart of an agricultural enterprise in which there is a white currant production branch, it is specific, first of all, to analyses the background parts of the constituent elements of the environment with which it operates in order to be able to establish strategic lines, which need to correspond to the appropriate form of organization. In the given article, the authors intend to identify and propose solutions to some problems, which, in essence, represent a diagnostic analysis of the enterprise, the results of which indicate one of the options for the organization of marketing activity and marketing department or specialist in agricultural enterprises.

Designing Iranian hospital organizational charts: Global comparisons.

Hospitals should have effective and efficient organizational charts to face the changing healthcare environment. Thus, for this purpose, the present study seeks to compile an organizational chart for Iranian hospitals. The present study was conducted in two phase overview and qualitative (using focus group discussion). In the overview phase, the organizational charts of hospitals were analyzed in terms of complexity (i.e., degree of horizontal and vertical separations), and the initial hospital organizational chart was developed based on the results. Subsequently, experts were interviewed in a focus group discussion to finalize and validate the initial organizational chart. The final organizational chart was designed to contain features such as internal divisions, specialization, reduction of organizational hierarchies, expansion of supervision scope, and moderate-sized organizational pyramid. Using designed organizational chart would eliminate the redundant managerial levels since it reduces organizational hierarchies to two levels of management, expands the supervision scopes, fosters a moderate-sized organizational pyramid, and catalyzes communications.

Usability test and implications of an activity allocation mapping in complex organizations: perceptions about a software by emergency room agents

PurposeProperly allocating an organization's activities within a building is vital to reducing the relational complexity arising from process–environment interactions. Multiple relationships are mapped, and certain interferences are only identified after these have been processed. The method/software employed for this task is Mapping Activity Environment Allocation (MAEA). However, data input and interpretation of results depend on the usability conditions of the organization's agents. This paper presents MAEA's usability test results.Design/methodology/approachTest sessions and interviews were carried out with seven agents registered at a University Hospital. Participants were instructed to think aloud during its use, and immediately afterward, responded to semi-structured interviews. Test sessions were audio recorded and screen captured.FindingsParticipants found the software easy to use and pointed out valuable implications for professional and academic use. In addition to relationship, priority and parallelism data, customized visualizations were created, including organizational charts, flowcharts and activity flow routes on the floor plan.Practical implicationsMAEA's simplicity allows non-designers to conduct evidence-based assessments and decisions. It allows designers to test their proposals during the programming and outline proposal stages.Social implicationsA more detailed definition of design requirements from the beginning increases the conditions to successfully achieve project goals.Originality/valueThe ability to map the allocation of activity-spaces in the pre-design phase of building architecture allows for early identification of interactions, aiding in the development of more robust project requirements during programming.

BIBLIOTECA DIRECȚIEI GENERALE A ARHIVELOR STATULUI. ÎNCEPUTURI ȘI EVOLUȚIE (1862-1914)

In 1862, the Bucharest and Iași Archives have unified under a General Directorate. A document from 1862 mentions the beginnings of the establishment of the Archives library, by allocating funds for the purchase of books. In the same year, the position of librarian appears in the staff organization chart. All the directors were concerned with enriching the book fund necessary for the research. Thus, the methods of book acquisition: purchase, donations, internal and international exchanges, as well as the record-keeping tools were outlined. In this sense, the efforts of Grigore Manu, Bogdan Petriceicu Hașdeu, Dimitrie Onciul, who developed the Archives library and they insisted on appointing a specialized staff to deal with it.

Women's career development through everyday life in post‐war Japan: Survey of the Shufuren (the Japanese Association of Consumer Organizations)

AbstractThis paper explores the career development process of women in postwar Japan who belonged to the Shufuren (the Association of Consumer Organization), the homemakers' federation, and who became experts in everyday life through studying and researching to improve their lives. It analyzes the organizational chart, hours and fundings for activities, details of activities, formation of the cooperative relationships, and career development of the leaders. The women who gathered at the Shufuren studied and researched the issues that arose in daily lives. By accumulating survey and research data and presenting scientific evidence, they made requests and proposals for improvements to the Diet, governments, and industries. Through these activities, they contributed to establish laws and systems protecting consumer rights. The women also developed partnerships with other civic groups in sharing current social issues. They expanded the circle of the movement and asserted their demands to the Diet, government agencies, industries, and the public. The members grew as experts in everyday life by steadily building their careers with passion for daily activities. Their activities were not limited to the Shufuren; some women went beyond the Shufuren to become leaders of organizations. Conventionally, homemakers are viewed as not having career development aspirations. When discussing women's career development in Japan, attention has focused on career development through work and balancing work and family life. However, the activities and steps taken by the female members of the Shufuren to improve their lives should also be considered a form of career development.

The Prerequisites of Introducing School Social Workers in Romanian Educational System

Worldwide professional agencies or associations define school social worker as the professional that assists students with socio-emotional challenges and makes a linkage between school, home, and community services. A school counsellor is different than a school social worker, by guiding students in academic, career, and personal development, supporting those in navigating school-related challenges, but also helps them planning their future. In Romanian school environment the school counsellor somehow supplies the school social worker’s attributes, as within the schooling institutions organizational chart there is no specific place for the school social worker’s job. In an attempt to diagnose a current situation of what the school social worker represents as a professional in connection with Romanian educational system, we developed a brief analysis of the professional grounding of the domain, starting from key concepts such as “school social work”, the “educational role of the social worker”. The results of the search for such keywords showed us that there is a lack of data on this subject in the Romanian background. What we identify at the level of schooling units is the school counsellor. The purpose of this work is to bring a better theoretical knowledge of the need for the professionalization of the school social worker in the Romanian public educational sphere. Moreover, the article may be the start of an empirical larger research on the topic, in order to bring to public awareness the usefulness of a social worker at the level of each educational institution. The analysis is of a theoretical nature and is based on the educational-welfare practice models from Romania and USA.

Occurrence and hematological aspects of dogs with Canine Monocytic Ehrlichiosis

Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is an infectious disease caused by a gram-negative bacterium of the genus Ehrlichia spp., a monocyte parasite that leads to thrombocytopenia, anemia, hyporexia, apathy, pale mucous membranes, among others. The etiological agent is distributed worldwide, but there is a greater incidence and considerable prevalence in places with temperate climates due to the high presence of the tick vector Rhipicephalus sanguineus. In Brazil, the number of cases of this disease appears to have increased in many regions, due to several factors, but more studies are still needed regarding the prevalence in various regions. In view of the aforementioned points, this retrospective study aimed to address the findings of the clinical and laboratory evaluation of 43 medical records with the definitive diagnosis of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis, in naturally infected dogs, treated at HOVET - UFES, during the period of June 2017 to September 2023, in order to discuss and relate the findings found with current literature, as well as report the occurrence of this disease. For this, we used the clinical and laboratory records of dogs that showed positivity in the SNAP 4Dx Plus® rapid test and/or in blood smears, and presented Ehrlichia spp. morulae. in leukocytes. Simultaneously, clinical data, blood count findings and biochemical test results were prepared in figures, tables and organizational charts. Subsequently, with the information and results found, descriptive analysis of the data was used to demonstrate the occurrence through percentages. The most frequent clinical and laboratory changes were the presence of ticks, hyporexia, lymphadenomgelia, apathy, pale mucous membranes, thrombocytopenia, normocytic normochromic anemia, lymphopenia and hypoalbuminemia. Therefore, it is concluded that it is essential to report the occurrence of Ehrlichia sp. in dogs, as well as knowing the main clinical and laboratory changes mentioned so that it is possible to assist in the early identification of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis.

Potential Problems with Having a Culture that is Too Strong in Modern Organizations

In each and every society today, culture is a very important concept for both individuals and organizations because it identifies the fundamental set of ideas, rituals, beliefs, meaning, values, norms and language, the way in which things are to be done in an organization and in the life of an individual. Therefore, organization’s culture encompasses what has been good and what has worked in the past. These practices can often be accepted within the organization by long serving members of an organization due to the fact that they have a collective interest towards building of a unified organization through shared system of beliefs, habits and traditions. In organizations there are deep-set beliefs about the way in which work should be organized, the way in which authority should be exercised and punished (Cole and Kelly, 2011). Organizational culture is not something that is written down or necessarily is easily stated. Rather, it is an intangible mixture of rules, relationships, values, custom which when taken together describe the distinctive feel of the organization. It is within this culture that individuals work and from which they learn the norms and values to which they are expected to subscribe. This is the arrangement and inter-relationship of the components parts position of an organization. Whereas culture is a hidden structure that can be seen and drawn in organization charts. Thus the organization Structure may reflect culture. This essay will describe three potential problems with having an organizational culture that is too strong.

Create, potentialize and disseminate: strategies to overcome the “Death Valley” of innovations in education

This work aimed to present a research that could support the formation of a structured and institutionalized work nucleus, called the Dissemination, Technology, Research and Innovation Nucleus (NDTPI), from which it was able to support the understanding of the academic community of the Federal Institute of Pará Campus Belém in the universe of technology transfer and entrepreneurship, promoting the potentialization of products and processes institutionally designed, their dissemination in a more effective way, even in this process, was able to interact as an integral part in the teaching-learning process. From the action research methodology, elements were sought to support the hypothesis, its action and support its implementation, the application of the methodology went through seven stages: awareness, diagnosis, identification, approximation, monitoring, forwarding and dissemination. The results showed that the methodology and its actions increased a considerable increase, both in production (enhancement) and in the referrals for registration of intellectual property, which consequently increased the diffusion, the teachers, students and technicians who participated in the process became potential multipliers. of a “culture” of innovation and entrepreneurship, the NDTPI was created and institutionalized in the institution's organizational chart, due to the relevance of the results presented.

How Public Health Organizational Structure Affected the Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Study in British Columbia, Canada.

Objectives: This study sought to examine how public health organizational structures affected decision-making and provides recommendations to strengthen future public health crisis preparedness. Methods: The Institutions-Politics-Organizations-Governance (IPOG) framework and an organizational lens was applied to the analysis of COVID-19 governance within British Columbia (BC). Organizational charts detailing the structure of public health systems were compiled using available data and supplemented with data collected through key informant interviews. Results: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, BC initiated several changes in its public health organization. BC's COVID-19 response attempted to utilize a centralized command structure within a decentralized health system. Four key themes were identified pertaining to the 1) locus of decision-making and action; 2) role of emergency structures; 3) challenges in organizational structure; and 4) balance between authority and participation in decision-making. Conclusion: The organizational adaptations enabled a substantively effective response. However, our findings also illustrate deficiencies in organizational structure in the current public health system. Two recommendations for consideration are: 1) a more formal vertical organizational structure; and 2) developing new mechanisms to link health and general emergency response structures.

Revision of task description of educational development centers and educational development offices: Toward performance improvement.

In recent years, educational development centers (EDCs) have evolved among universities from a marginal to a strategic aspect. The present study aimed to achieve an applicable task description at two levels of basic and quality improvement for EDCs and educational development offices (EDOs). This research used the triangulation method. Initially, the current condition of EDCs across the country was evaluated with an electronic questionnaire in 2019. In the second phase, the modified Delphi method was used in two rounds with purposive sampling and a researcher-made questionnaire. The research participants were from all of the country. In the RAND technique, an electronic questionnaire was sent to 14 experts in medical education. After the analysis, the results were discussed, and the questions were answered again. We determined frequency and used content analysis. The task descriptions containing basic and quality improvement have been developed in three main sections: Organizational communication of EDCs and EDOs for policymaking; organizational structures, organizational charts, and the budget of EDCs and EDOs; and developmental roles of EDCs and EDOs (curriculum policies, curriculum development, blended learning, community-oriented), faculty development, evaluation (student assessment, faculty evaluation, program evaluation, accreditation), research (educational research, educational scholarship, innovative educational designs, events), and students (student committee, talented students). The task description guidelines have been prepared with 68 articles in basic and quality improvement and three main sections, including organizational communication of the EDCs and EDOs, organizational structures, the budget of the EDCs and EDOs, and their development roles.
