Процессуальные модели выгорания: ретроспективный и систематический обзор (часть 1)

The article presents more than 40 models of the burnout process, many of which are empirically confirmed. A retrospective analysis of burnout concepts allowed us to identify five types of models: 1) metaphorical, using metaphors of burning, falling, discharge to popularize the topic of burnout; 2) phenomenological, empirical in nature and devoted to the description of burnout phenomenology on the basis of clinical, organizational or role experience; 3) derived from the three-component burnout model of C. Maslach, while the main of component is the emotional exhaustion; 4) stress-oriented, conceptualizing burnout on the basis of stress theory; 5) polar “engagement - burnout”, based on their opposition as positive and negative poles of some functional continuum. Burnout is understood as a process developing in time with a certain sequence of phases, or as a final stage of the process of disillusionment, loss of energy resources, etc. The discrete aspect of the burnout process is characterized by the prevalence of three-and five-phase models. New conceptual and research approaches are focused on the mechanisms of crossover, social induction or emotional contagion to burnout in other employees or partners. In general, there is no unified process model of burnout with a normative sequence and duration of phases, a specific list of triggers, catalysts and related effects.

Development of TRACER: A Translational Research Accomplishments Cataloguerfor Clinical and Translational Science Award hub activity tracking, evaluation, and decision-making.

Organizations supporting translational research and translational science, including Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs, provide a diverse and often changing array of resources, support, and services to a myriad of researchers and research efforts. While a wide-ranging scope of programs is essential to the advancement of translational research and science, it also complicates a systematic and unified process for tracking activities, studying research processes, and examining impact. To overcome these challenges, the Duke University School of Medicine's CTSA hub created a data platform, Translational Research Accomplishment Cataloguer (TRACER), that provides capacity to enhance strategic decision-making, impact assessment, and equitable resource distribution. This article reviews TRACER development processes, provides an overview of the TRACER platform, addresses challenges in the development process, and describes avenues for addressing or overcoming these challenges. TRACER development allowed our hub to conceptually identify key processes and goals within programs and linkages between programs, and it sets the stage for advancing evidence-based improvement across our hub. This platform development provides key insight into facilitators that can inform other initiatives seeking to collect and align organizational data for strategic decision-making and impact assessment. TRACER or similar platforms are additionally well positioned to advance the study of translational science.

남북교류협력 과정에서 북한근로자에 대한 사회보장제도 적용의 법적 과제

The main actors in inter-Korean cooperation are the residents of South and North Korea. The individuals who play a key role in achieving reunification, the residents of both North and South Korea, should collectively become the owners, ensuring the freedom, welfare, and human dignity of each individual. They should strive to form a national community where a free and prosperous life is attainable. However, the reality is that the residents of South and North Korea have yet to fully assume the role of effective participants in cooperative exchanges. This study aims to identify legal disputes arising from the application of social security systems for North Korean laborers entering South Korea's border areas and proposes legal and practical directions. Ultimately, the study seeks to contribute to the establishment of a substantive legal framework for inter-Korean unification by fostering pre-emptive discussions in the legal and policy dimensions. The focus is on creating a foundation for the human and social integration of North and South Korea during the process of unification.

Задачи корпоративной конфликтологии

The work examines important aspects of the organizational constitution of the priority of corporate conflict management at Synergy University. The author emphasizes that the creation of the Center for Corporate Conflictology at the University is a landmark event, marking the transition to a new stage in the development of this branch of science. The article analyzes in detail the goals and objectives of corporate conflictology, including analytical design and scientific and applied demonstration of realistic representations of agents of investment practice and business processes. The work proposes a thematic plan for a course in corporate conflictology for business owners, developed by the author, designed for 80 academic hours. The author also discusses methods of teaching and implementing a corporate conflictology course into the educational process, including the use of case-study and interdisciplinary research. The author postulates that corporate conflictology and corporate governance in general are based on a wide cycle of knowledge covering various industries. Thus, the article emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach and knowledge exchange in the field of corporate conflict management. At the same time, the work describes two types of ensuring the interdisciplinarity of the field of knowledge: 1) a mechanistic, textbook approach with episodic and systematic “mutual information” of related subjects; 2) a truly integration approach with theoretical and methodological work on the unification of interpretations and “mutual integration” of knowledge. It is emphasized that for the current stage of development of corporate conflictology, the path of mutual integration of knowledge rather than mutual information is more effective. This justifies the importance of unified interpretations and processes of mutual integration of knowledge for the development of corporate conflictology. An interdisciplinary approach helps students develop the comprehensive knowledge and skills necessary to work in the field of conflict management in a corporate environment. The author calls for testing this methodology in educational institutions in order to enrich the educational process and prepare students for real challenges in the field of corporate conflict management. The author highlights the challenges and problems faced by supporters of the development of corporate conflictology, and also analyzes criticism of this branch of science. In conclusion, the importance of developing corporate conflictology and its potential contribution to the understanding and management of corporate conflicts is emphasized.

A makroprudenciális hatóságok jogállása az Európai Unió tagállamaiban

The study examines the main components of the organisational framework for macro-prudential management in the Member States of the European Union. The organisational design of macro-prudential management is a matter for the Member States, which can themselves be grouped into different models. The study first presents the international and EU standards and recommendations on the status of macro-prudential bodies in the Member States, then summarises the basic, theoretically relevant features of the status of macro-prudential bodies in the Member States, presents the analytical methodology of the study and finally analyses the features of the status of macro-prudential bodies in the Member States according to the methodology defined. The study concludes that there is a tendency for the EU macro-prudential body to standardise the basic elements of the status of macro-prudential bodies. However, the process of unification of the content of the institutional framework is still at an early stage and a variety of legal solutions can be identified for each of the substantive aspects. The study concludes that the institutional framework of macro-prudential policy can be described by a coordinated unification of the substantive pillars, with different formal features, but with different legal solutions.

Research on efficient detection network method for remote sensing images based on self attention mechanism

Remote sensing images are widely used in aerial drones, satellites, and other fields. However, traditional object detection methods face challenges of low efficiency and accuracy due to the diverse scales, numerous target types, and complex backgrounds of remote sensing images. To address these issues, this paper proposes a remote sensing image detection network based on self-attention, which adaptively learns the relative importance of pixels to achieve more precise and efficient object detection in remote sensing images, meeting the demands of large-scale remote sensing image processing. Firstly, through end-to-end training, the object detection network is optimized as a whole to directly output detection results from the input remote sensing images, eliminating the need for additional intermediate steps. This not only reduces the impact of information loss and inconsistency but also simplifies the entire detection process. Secondly, we integrate the Faster R-CNN architecture as the foundation, combining region extraction and object classification into a unified process. Lastly, we embed self-attention mechanisms at different levels of the Faster R-CNN to progressively extract multi-scale and multi-level feature information, enhancing the network's ability to learn the correlation of information from different positions in the image, automatically capturing the relationships between objects, and improving the accuracy of object detection. This significantly reduces redundant computation, making it more efficient for large-scale remote sensing image processing. Experimental verification demonstrates that this approach outperforms traditional methods in terms of detection accuracy and efficiency, better addressing the particularities of remote sensing images, and providing an efficient and precise solution for aerial drone and satellite image processing. Remote sensing image detection has become one of the research hotspots in the field of remote sensing, holding significant theoretical significance and practical application value.

Semi‐supervised domain adaptation via subspace exploration

AbstractRecent methods of learning latent representations in Domain Adaptation (DA) often entangle the learning of features and exploration of latent space into a unified process. However, these methods can cause a false alignment problem and do not generalise well to the alignment of distributions with large discrepancy. In this study, the authors propose to explore a robust subspace for Semi‐Supervised Domain Adaptation (SSDA) explicitly. To be concrete, for disentangling the intricate relationship between feature learning and subspace exploration, the authors iterate and optimise them in two steps: in the first step, the authors aim to learn well‐clustered latent representations by aggregating the target feature around the estimated class‐wise prototypes; in the second step, the authors adaptively explore a subspace of an autoencoder for robust SSDA. Specially, a novel denoising strategy via class‐agnostic disturbance to improve the discriminative ability of subspace is adopted. Extensive experiments on publicly available datasets verify the promising and competitive performance of our approach against state‐of‐the‐art methods.

Improved Rational Unified Process (RUP) MODEL using Agile Features

Communication plays a crucial role during the software development process using various models. However, it is not sufficiently practiced in some effective models, which impairs its performance. Diverse customized models used in the software industry such eXtreme Programming (XP) and Rational Unified Process (RUP). Each of these models has advantages that distinguish it from the other and make it unique. Agile models such as XP is distinguished from others as 'RUP' by its focus on effective practical activities, including communication practices for better customer satisfaction and engineering practices. But the shortcomings in document-driven approach as RUP limits its capabilities, makes it not adapt to changing requirements, and does not provide best practices for simplicity. Communication between the user and the owner of the product with the work team is a valuable aspect of the software development process and should not be neglected. The purpose of this paper is to focus on using communication practices that take place in XP model as one of the agile methodologies and how they can enhance performance of RUP model. In this paper, a new enhanced RUB framework will be proposed for better communication practices through the software development process.

Human-Robot Shared Assembly Taxonomy: A step toward seamless human-robot knowledge transfer

Future manufacturing will witness a shift in human-robot relationships toward collaboration, compassion, and coevolution. This will require seamless human-robot knowledge transfer. Differences in language and knowledge representation hinder the transfer of knowledge between humans and robots. Thus, a unified knowledge representation system that can be shared by humans and robots is essential. Driven by this need in a product assembly scenario, we propose the Human-Robot Shared Assembly Taxonomy (HR-SAT). With HR-SAT, any comprehensive assembly task can be represented as a knowledge graph that both humans and robots can understand. To ensure consistency in task decomposition and representation, we define the key elements of HR-SAT. HR-SAT incorporates rich assembly information and provides necessary information for diverse applications, e.g., process planning, quality checking, and human-robot collaboration. The usage and practicality of HR-SAT are demonstrated through two case studies. As a unified assembly process representation schema, HR-SAT constitutes a critical step toward seamless human-robot knowledge transfer. The specifications of HR-SAT and the two case studies are available at: https://iai-hrc.github.io/hr-sat.

Development of a scalable single process for producing SARS-CoV-2 RBD monomer and dimer vaccine antigens.

We have developed a single process for producing two key COVID-19 vaccine antigens: SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) monomer and dimer. These antigens are featured in various COVID-19 vaccine formats, including SOBERANA 01 and the licensed SOBERANA 02, and SOBERANA Plus. Our approach involves expressing RBD (319-541)-His6 in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells, generating and characterizing oligoclones, and selecting the best RBD-producing clones. Critical parameters such as copper supplementation in the culture medium and cell viability influenced the yield of RBD dimer. The purification of RBD involved standard immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC), ion exchange chromatography, and size exclusion chromatography. Our findings suggest that copper can improve IMAC performance. Efficient RBD production was achieved using small-scale bioreactor cell culture (2L). The two RBD forms - monomeric and dimeric RBD - were also produced on a large scale (500L). This study represents the first large-scale application of perfusion culture for the production of RBD antigens. We conducted a thorough analysis of the purified RBD antigens, which encompassed primary structure, protein integrity, N-glycosylation, size, purity, secondary and tertiary structures, isoform composition, hydrophobicity, and long-term stability. Additionally, we investigated RBD-ACE2 interactions, in vitro ACE2 recognition of RBD, and the immunogenicity of RBD antigens in mice. We have determined that both the monomeric and dimeric RBD antigens possess the necessary quality attributes for vaccine production. By enabling the customizable production of both RBD forms, this unified manufacturing process provides the required flexibility to adapt rapidly to the ever-changing demands of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and different COVID-19 vaccine platforms.

Dynamic energy budget model for the complete life cycle of chub mackerel in the Northwest Pacific

Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) in the Northwest Pacific is an important pelagic fishery resource and a significant target species in purse seine fisheries. However, the catch of chub mackerel fluctuates greatly from year to year, and recent studies have shown that the Tsushima stock may be overfished. Therefore, research on the biology and population dynamics of this species is required to provide sufficient scientific support for the development of reasonable management and recovery plans and for the increased sustainable use of resource fisheries. In this study, a dynamic energy budget (DEB) model was constructed based on DEB theory for the complete life cycle of chub mackerel in the Northwest Pacific by using biological data to simulate processes, including growth, reproduction, and death. The key results were as follows. 1) The DEB model accurately simulated the complete life cycle of chub mackerel, with a good fit for the relationships between age and length as well as length and weight, while accurately estimating annual absolute fecundity, aging, and death and predicting the metamorphosis time of larval fish. 2) The DEB model can incorporate the effects of temperature and food to describe the effects of marine environmental conditions on chub mackerel growth. 3) The DEB model involved multiple interrelated parameters; however, owing to a lack of observational data, there was a certain degree of uncertainty in estimated parameter values. The DEB model provides a basis for establishing correlations and intrinsically unifying biological processes, including growth, sexual maturation, reproduction, aging, and death, thereby guiding studies of growth, reproduction, and population dynamics of chub mackerel in the Northwest Pacific.

Increasing Task Administration Efficiency by Means of a Customizable ICT Solution

In production companies, managers frequently deal with inefficiencies caused by employees learning about new tasks with a considerable delay. The paper focuses on solving the lack of real-time interaction in currently used task administration systems by means of an ICT solution. The main causes of the inefficiencies consist in insufficient real-time information on the sides of both workers and managers. Employees view updates in the information system randomly, thus increasing unnecessary periods of idle time, while their superiors are not fully informed about the status of tasks in progress and about current workload of individual workers. The presented ICT solution was developed for production companies and implemented for the purpose of administering production line failure records. The solution is based on informing employees about a new maintenance task online in real time, using a combination of the designed information system with a mobile phone. The presented system utilizes advanced information technologies – cloud messaging, mobile applications, and web applications. The employee will be equipped with a smartphone with a specially designed application. By a notification sent to the mobile phone, the employee will be immediately informed about the task assigned. As regards task administering, employees enter information about the phases of task execution and managers are informed about the status of executed tasks. Another key feature of the system is providing managers with managerial overviews and compiling reports in order to monitor a number of key indicators. The Unified Process (UP) methodology was used to design the information system. The system accelerates the process of receiving tasks by individual maintenance workers after a failure has been reported, an online overview of the status of work on failures, including a managerial overview of the work of individual workers and the total time spent on solving the task (e.g. a production line defect removal). The system is designed to be universally applicable in other workplaces.

Research on Data Governance System for Information Sharing and Openness

Abstract In today’s informationization era, information sharing and openness represent advanced productivity, but the current information-sharing work is not being carried out as well as expected. Therefore, this paper first defines data governance and utilizes IBM software to sort out the unified process of data governance. Then, the fuzzy DEMATEL method was constructed by introducing a triangular fuzzy number and the DEMATEL method, and then the data governance capability evaluation model was established. Finally, it studies the effectiveness of enterprise data governance and analyzes the influence factors of enterprise data governance behavior based on DEMATEL. N enterprise data standard governance is highly rated, with “very good” and “good” ratings accounting for 58.6%. In terms of centrality analysis, the impacts of data standard application, kinship data and metadata collection in the third-level indicators are 6.247, 5.731 and 5.671, respectively, which need to be highly emphasized.
