Transcending the Digital Divide: Video Use Communication Models for the English Language Learning Classroom

With the development of web 2.0 tools, many companies are rushing to meet the demand and create attractive and useful Educational Technology (EdTech) that appeal to instructors to implement in their classes. Many of these tools include video services that are available to everyone with a connected device. ESL Instructors also look for new and engaging activities and techniques to help their students L2 confidence and language practice. Research shows that video is a powerful and useful tool for educators to boost language learning in the classroom. When deciding to implement video in the classroom, it is essential to understand the different attributes that students experience surrounding the consumption, the creation, and interaction with video. To effectively implement video in the English class it is also necessary to understand how videos replicate elements of the communication process to determine what kind of—if any—interaction will take place. Once the attributes are understood, and the communication model is chosen, teachers can select a tool that fits their pedagogical practice and logistical situation. This paper explores the justification and use categories of video in the context of English language learning, introduces the idea of Video Use Communication Models to help instructors choose a tool that will align with their pedagogical goals, and advocate the promotion of video solutions that allow affordable and available access for an English teacher who wants to use video.

A multi-objective location and channel model for ULS network

In this paper, we construct a multi-objective location and channel model for ULS network to alleviate the urban traffic congestion problem. First, we construct a multi-objective node selection model and obtain the position of the first-level nodes in the ULS network by using agglomerative hierarchical clustering method. Then, we obtain the position of the second-level nodes in the ULS network by using the greedy algorithm. We also calculate the service scope, actual traffic volume and transport rate of first-level node for each node based on the determined node group. After that, we select the optimal channel scheme to make nodes at different levels of the ULS and its load more balanced by using the plant growth simulation algorithm. We extract the key variables of the problem, quantify some indicators with reasonable quantification, construct a multi-objective location and channel model based on the actual logistics situation for the specific region and achieve reasonable results to meet multiple objectives. Therefore, the model could be used as a reference for the construction of urban ULS network.

ПРАКТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ ПОБУДОВИ МАТЕРІАЛЬНОГО ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ПІДРОЗДІЛІВ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ГВАРДІЇ УКРАЇНИ В КОНТЕКСТІ ЄВРОІНТЕГРАЦІЇ

The current state of our society and the conditions of eurointegration make significant adjustments to the system of logistical and financial support of military units, including the National Guard of Ukraine. The system of military units must adapt to the conditions of European integration in such a way as to be able to effectively carry out the tasks entrusted to it. To do this is quite difficult at all, and within the framework of the law - even more difficult. However, the system must realize its quality, such as dynamism, that is, adequate response to changes in the environment. To this end, it is worth highlighting the key aspects of building material support for the units of the National Guard of Ukraine in the context of European integration. An important practical aspect of building a system of material support for the units of the National Guard of Ukraine is the organization of the logistic support subsystem in the structure of the material support system. The process of physical organization of logistic support depends on some factors such as the range and content of the task, the actual operating situation, the actual logistics situation, the operational capabilities of its own departments and logistics equipment, the range of support, implemented by the boss, the degree of development of the network infrastructure, local and atmospheric conditions, time, intended to organize the process of logistics. An important function in the field of logistics support for troops is the motivation and initiation of logistical measures through special executive documents. The economic activity of the units of the National Guard of Ukraine is a specific and rather complex activity. The absence of a special comprehensive regulatory act that regulates this activity negatively affects the legal regulation of material and technical and military supply and financial support for military units. Therefore, it is expedient for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to develop the Regulations on the economic activities of the units of the National Guard of Ukraine.

A Study on Application of Folding Forklifts for the Improvement of Military Logistics

군 물류 체계상 최종 말단의 사용부대인 대대급 이하 소부대는 대부분 소규모 물류로 취급물량이 적어 지게차 등의 하역장비를 고정 운영하기에는 부적합하다. 따라서 부대 내의 하역작업은 인력 중심으로 이루어지고 있어서 근골격계 부상의 위험과 전투원의 인력이 낭비되고 있다. 현재 추진 중인 군 병력 감축방안에 따라 향후 화물 상하역을 위한 인력은 더욱 감소될 것으로 보여 장비위주 군수지원 체계 구축의 필요성이 증가되고 있다. 고정적 하역장비를 운영하기 어려운 군 물류 현장상황 및 기계화에 대한 요구를 만족시킬 수 있는 방안으로 차량에 탑재 가능한 접이식 지게차가 대안으로 떠오르고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소규모 군 물류환경의 현실태 및 문제점을 파악하고, 군의 물량 중 대표적인 2개 종류의 물류 프로세스 상에 접이식 지게차 도입 시 프로세스 개선방안에 대하여 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 군량곡 수송 및 포병 탄약 수송 간에 활용 가능성과 경제적 효과를 확인하였다.In military logistics circumstance, end users are usually small units such as battalions and companies. They have difficulty operating fixed equipment such as forklift because handling volume is usually small. They use human power to load and unload cargo. Thus, there is a chance of getting musculoskeletal injury and waste of manpower. Currently, the Ministry of National Defense is implementing a troop reduction plan. Therefore, there is an increasing need to automate manual logistics works such as loading/unloading for small units using suitable equipment such as folding forklift that can be loaded into a vehicle. In this study, We identified the current situation and problems of military logistics and conducted an analysis on logistics process improvement according to the introduction of folding forklift.

Solving the stochastic time-dependent orienteering problem with time windows

This paper introduces the stochastic time-dependent orienteering problem with time windows. The orienteering problem occurs in logistic situations where an optimal combination of locations must first be selected and then the routing between these selected locations must be optimized. In the stochastic time-dependent variant, the travel time between two locations is a stochastic function that depends on the departure time at the first location. The main contribution of this paper lies in the design of a fast and effective algorithm to solve this challenging problem. To validate the performance and the practical relevance of this proposed algorithm, several experiments were carried out on realistic benchmark instances of varying size and properties. These benchmark instances are constructed based on an actual large road network in Belgium with historic travel time profiles for every road segment.

A SITUAÇÃO DA LOGÍSTICA REVERSA EM ALGUNS MUNICÍPIOS DA CAMPANHA E FRONTEIRA OESTE DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL/RS.

From the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), municipalities have the shared responsibility of certain solid waste, including fluorescent lamps, electronics, batteries and tires. The Reverse Logistics came to pay up the life cycle of materials, making products already used return of the various consumption points to their origin. In step of Reverse Logistics, products undergo a refresher and return to jail until they are finally disposed of correctly, in order to ensure a sustainable recovery for the environment. Faced with the need to implement the Reverse Logistics in municipal public agencies, through this study aimed to conduct a diagnosis of the situation of Reverse Logistics in some municipalities of the campaign and Border West of the state of Rio Grande do Sul region. It can be concluded 60% of the municipalities surveyed already have their Municipal Plan for Solid Waste Integrated Management, but only one municipality considers its efficient Reverse Logistics System. However the 40% that do not have the Municipal Plan for Solid Waste Integrated Management, have at least one reverse logistics system. Thus, it is clear that the government is increasingly concerned about environmental issues in their surroundings.
