The advancement of computer technology for digital artistry in this 21st century has availed new-media technologies for enhancing design practices in technical and vocational studies through the development of sophisticated graphic-application software. Unfortunately, these software are very challenging to learn and employ for creative design practice especially at the Basic and Senior High School levels of education in Ghana. Microsoft Office word belongs to the category of general-purpose application software, developed principally for word processing. Unfortunately, many of its users are oblivious of its capabilities for creative motif and pattern designing. It is embedded with shape designing tools that can be manipulated and modified to create intricate patterns for advancing variety of design concepts. The researcher has explored these tools and adopted them for creating fascinating kente design concepts, based on the design-based research approach. This paper therefore presents a descriptive account of how to use angular and linear shapes in Microsoft Word to create motifs and patterns to develop ideas for kente designing that can be employed by Ghanaian indigenous kente designers to foster idea development to enhance their trade.Keywords: New-media technologies; graphic application software;microsoft office word; creative pattern designing; Ghanaian indigenous kente designers

PurposeIn the present study, the authors examined whether academic performance [grade point average (GPA)] can be predicted by self-reported frequency of memorization and recitation, verbatim memory performance, and self-efficacy in a sample of college students from Saudi Arabia.Design/methodology/approachStudents' verse memory, word memory, experience with memorization and recitation, as well as general self-efficacy were measured. GPA was provided by the Office of the Registrar.FindingsVerbatim memory performance for individual words and verses moderately predicted GPA.Research limitations/implicationsTo be determined is the extent to which memory skills for different materials are related to memorization and recitation practice as well as encoding preferences.Practical implicationsThe findings indicate that even though in college a premium is placed on activities that transform the format of the materials to be learned, activities that replicate materials may still be helpful.Social implicationsIn Western pedagogy, memorization and recitation are considered counterproductive modes of information acquisition. The findings of this study illustrate that retention is an essential processing step upon which the complex cognitive activities that are embedded in college-level curricula rely.Originality/valueThe extant literature illustrates the benefits of exceptional memorization and recitation training. The findings suggest that academic success is positively related to what would be judged as moderate practice, thereby supporting the notion that benefits exist.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the correlation between internal drivers, external pressures, Green Entrepreneurial Orientation (GEO). In the context of wood processing companies in Lumajang, this study examines how green supply chain management (GSCM) practices and performance interact. The study relies on theoretical underpinnings grounded in both institutional theory and the Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV) theory to thoroughly explore and comprehend these complex interconnections. Data was collected from a sample of 98 wood processing companies registered as Primary Timber Forest Product Industries (IPHHK) in the Lumajang District Forestry Office up to 2020, using a saturated sampling technique over three months from January to March 2022. This study's data analysis was carried out using structural equation modeling (SEM), which uses the partial least squares (PLS) methodology. The results of the analysis indicate that internal drivers do not exert a significant influence on Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) performance. In contrast, external pressure and Green Entrepreneurial Orientation (GEO) have a notable and statistically significant impact on GSCM performance. Furthermore, GSCM practices play a crucial mediating role, fully mediating the correlation between internal drivers and GSCM performance and partially mediating the correlation between external pressure, GEO, and GSCM performance. This research holds practical implications for managers, supply chain specialists, and Lumajang wood processing industry policymakers. It clarifies the significance of particular drivers in putting GSCM practices into practice and reaching improved performance levels. Future research should consider expanding the sample size, extending the scope of the survey, exploring additional research avenues, and implementing longitudinal designs to investigate green supply chain integration and firm behavior over time.

PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Binjai Branch is an information and communication company as well as a complete telecommunications service and network provider in Indonesia. Acceptance of students to carry out Field Work Practices (PKL) is one of the important goals for companies to introduce the world of telecommunications in Binjai City. Street vendors are student activities directly in professional work activities at an institution, company or institution within a certain period of time in accordance with the curriculum. And to overcome these problems we need a method that can predict the number of new installations. After carrying out the Field Work Practice (PKL) in the company, students are entitled to get the results of the activities that have been carried out during the PKL. The number of students who carry out PKL in the company makes it difficult for office employees to provide PKL results from each of the existing students. Based on the results of research that has been done at PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Binjai Branch, the process of assigning value to the results of street vendors activities is done manually. In this study a Decision Support System (DSS) will be built using the Multi-Objective Optimization On The Basis Of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method which is a method that has a calculation with a minimum and very simple calculation. The system is designed with the PHP programming language and MySQL database, after processing the 15 inputted data, it is found that A15 (Wiratana Sanjaya) is in the first rank. With these results it was also concluded that A15 became a student with the best Field Work Practice results at PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Binjai Branch.

Full textAbstract:
Thanks to the processing of archival documents, the circumstances of the establishment and functioning of the Lviv weekly «Dni», sources of funding, and the composition of its editorial board have been revealed. The idea of an «interesting word» declared by the editors has been studied in practice, and the publishing strategy for attracting the readership has been analyzed. The relevance of the topic of the article is well-founded – the weekly «Dni» has not yet been noticed by press historians as a separate object of research, although famous writers, artists and cultural figures of Galicia were involved in its appearance. The state of scientific development of the researched topic in modern journalism is highlighted. It was noted that the editors of the magazine «Dni» did not clearly declare the purpose of the magazine and addressed it to those who rebelled against gray everyday life and wanted to get acquainted with the colorful lives of others. The most active authors of the publication have been identified, their pseudonyms and cryptonyms were named, the authorship of unsigned publications has been established, and two hitherto unknown pseudonyms have been identified. Special emphasis has been placed on the original artistic work presented in the columns of the magazine «Dni» – these are stories and poems of young writers known in Galicia. The artistic design of the weekly has been highly appreciated. The main topics that most often worried the magazine’s authors has been highlighted, including: evaluation of literary creativity, development of theater, photographic art, and cinematography. The structure of the publication and the system of rubrics have been analyzed, and a brief overview of the contents of the weekly has been given. Its own vision of the effectiveness of the editorial line and possible reasons for closing the journal has been offered, among which financial difficulties of the editorial office and insufficient support from readers have been mentioned. It has been emphasized that despite the short release, the magazine «Dni» is a really interesting press project, which under favorable circumstances could have greater success and present broader artistic issues in its columns. Keywords: weekly, «Dni», editorial office, publication, pseudonym, readers.

Bibliography: p. 100-104.<br>Office automation systems have become an essential tool for the operation of the modern office. With the emphasis of a modern office being placed on efficiency and ease of communication, office automation systems have become the backbone of successful businesses. COSNET is a prototype office automation system designed and implemented at the Department of the University of Cape Town and runs on Personal Computers that are linked to a NCR UNIX TOWER, which acts as the host. This dissertation investigates the different facilities supported by some of the office automation systems compared in this thesis, and describes the COSNET features. This prototype office automation system supports many of the facilities that are supported by large office automation systems. COSNET allows the user to define any MS-DOS based editor or word processor, and uses a simple editor for the creation of mail. The electronic filing facility allows documents to be created, filed, retrieved and deleted, and thus provides the users with the necessary features for document exchange. A user may set access permissions to each of his documents and may grant other users either read or write access to a specific document. The mail facility lets the user read, file, forward, delete and print a message, and supports classification of mail. A calendar facility is used as an electronic diary and stores all the user's schedules. These schedules may be viewed in either daily, weekly and monthly display modes. Read and write access to the calendar can be set by the user, in order to allow other users to manipulate his schedules. Any MS-DOS based application software can be added to COSNET. This facility allows the COSNET user to configure the office automation system to simulate the office environment. COSNET thus supports most of the necessary features required by an office automation system.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation presents the GDI (Goal Directed Interface) approach to the user interface for office systems. The primary objectives of the approach are to create an interface that (1) requires little user training and (2) tries to perform higher level task activities (ex. 'schedule a meeting') that have been excluded from computerization in the past. The GDI technique (1) postulates a simple model of the office environment consisting of persons, things, and processes, and a decomposable goal set, (2) represents knowledge in the office environment through rules, frames, and scripts, and object-oriented programming techniques, (3) creates an iconic visual representation consisting of persons, things, and processes that closely mimics the user's 'mental model' of the office world, (4) requires that the user's own 'person icon' be present for all interactions so that actions appear to take place in a user controllable context (the user's icon is, literally, in the interface), (5) provides a 'selection window' through which the user communicates his/her goal by grouping relevant icons, (6) uses a rule-based expert system to examine an icon configuration and, through its expertise, derives a user goal (despite ambiguous or faulty icon placements), (7) attempts to complete the user goal through the use of scripts and multiple expert systems.

Full textAbstract:
Although electronic messaging systems (EMS) are an attractive business communication medium several studies on the usage and impact of EMS have shown that despite the benefits, they have been generally used for routine and informal communication activities. Theoretically, EMS have yet to find their niche in organizational communications. Technically, EMS designs are not flexible to support communication activities of managers, are not maintainable to permit easy integration with other office applications and access to information from data/knowledge bases, and are not easily extendible beyond the scope of their initial design. Behaviorally, end users are not directly involved in the development of EMS. This dissertation attempts to bridge the transition of EMS technology from message processing systems to communication support systems. First, the dissertation provides an analysis for a knowledge-based messaging system (KMS) through a framework. The framework provides a theoretical basis to link management theory to EMS technology. It suggests that the communication needs of the managers vary depending on the activity level, implying related variations in EMS functionality. Second, the dissertation provides a design for the KMS through an architecture which incorporates the design and implementation issues such as, flexibility, maintainability, and extendibility. The superimposition of the KMS on an existing EMS provides flexibility, the loose coupling between the KMS-interface components and the KMS-functions increases its maintainability, and the strong functional decomposition and cohesion enhances the extendibility of the system beyond the scope of its initial design. Finally, the dissertation provides a implementation through the development of a prototype KMS which involves users into the design process through a validation study conducted at University of Arizona. The prototype used GDSS tools in eliciting message attributes for the personal knowledge base. This method proved effective in reducing the bottleneck observed in the acquisition of knowledge from multiple experts, simultaneously. Similarly, the combination of observation with interviews proved effective in eliciting the organizational knowledge base. The validation method measured the system's accuracy (which was very accurate) in prioritizing messages for the users.

Full textAbstract:
Basic Laboratory Information System (BLIS) is a joint initiative of C4G @ Georgia Tech, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Ministries of Health in several countries in Africa. The vast majority of health laboratories in Africa, engaged in routinely testing samples drawn from patients (for HIV, malaria etc.), have been using non-standardized paper logs and manual entries for keeping track of patients, test samples and results. Besides the obvious burden of tedious record-keeping, these methods increase the chances of errors due to transcription and mismatches, making it difficult to track patient history or view critical population-wide data. In 2008, PEPFAR (the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) together with the CDC was reauthorized with a $48 billion budget over five years to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. The focus of PEPFAR has shifted from rapid scale-up to the quality and reliability of the clinical health programs and having an effective laboratory management system is one of its goals.
C4G BLIS is a robust, customizable and easy-to-use system that keeps track of patients, samples, results, lab workflow and reports. It is meant to be an effective and sustainable enhancement to manual logs and paper-based approaches. The system is designed to work in resource-constrained laboratories with limited IT equipment and across sites with good, intermittent or no internet availability. With varied practices, workflow and terminology being followed across laboratories in various African countries, the system has been developed to enable each laboratory or country to customize and configure the system in a way that suits them best. We describe various aspects of BLIS including its flexible database schema design, configurable reports and language settings, end-user customizability and development model for rapid incorporation of user feedback. Through BLIS, we aim to demonstrate a sustainable ICT solution brought about by the early and constant involvement of the target laboratory staff and technicians, identifying their short- and long-term needs, and ensuring that the system can match these needs. We will present preliminary evaluation results from laboratories in Cameroon, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPatent laws and regulations in many countries have utilized the flexibility available under the WTO TRIPS Agreement to apply nationally appropriate standards to define the patentability criteria of novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability, in order to ensure the grant of high-quality patents for genuine inventions. Robust search and examination are crucial for the application of this flexibility to ensure the grant of patents for genuine inventions, e.g., for secondary pharmaceutical patent applications which could lead to patent evergreening and adversely impact access to medicines by restraining generic competition. However, limited examination resources of patent offices have been stretched by the tremendous surge in the number of patent applications to be processed, leading to delays and backlogs. This has led patent offices to prioritize efficient and speedy processing of patent applications with their limited resources by using the search and examination work of other patent offices, sometimes to the extent of granting a patent on the basis of a corresponding grant by another patent office. This chapter discusses how work sharing has been driven by the major patent offices as part of a global patent harmonization agenda, both within the WIPO Patent Cooperation Treaty and through technical assistance and cooperation with other patent offices, and suggests how patent offices in developing countries could best harness the advantages of work sharing, particularly in a South-South cooperation framework, while safeguarding the ability to apply in practice the patentability requirements under their national laws through a robust search and examination of patent claims.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe World Health Organization (WHO) highlights the significant threat that unsustainably long working hours pose to our mental and physical well-being. Aligning with this concern, an Agile principle emphasizes that “Agile processes promote sustainable development.” However, previous work in 2023 debunked this notion of inherent stability in Agile systems, such as the Scrum and Kanban frameworks. In this study, we aim to analyse the relationship between system stability and the tendency of teams to work outside reasonable office hours. We inspect 295 historic Agile projects completed in intive, a software development company. We assess the percentage of late-night, early-morning, or weekend hours where a Product Backlog Item (PBI) was created or resolved and compare this percentage of Unsustainable Hours metric to the Stability Metric and the number of Inventory Days remaining. The analysis showed that almost no correlation exists between the Unsustainable Hours worked and either the system stability or outstanding inventory. These findings indicate that, while working unconventional and potentially excessive hours is a concern, it does not appear to be linked to the stability of Agile systems. This highlights the need for a deeper understanding of individual and team motivations to foster long-term sustainable work practices.

AbstractAfter the COVID-19 breakout, agile teams found themselves in situations that “pure agilists” and textbooks on agile methods had preferred to ignore. Whereas agile mindsets helped them to quickly shift to remote work, mere virtualization of agile practices often proved insufficient, and several challenges emerged. This paper reports on an Action Research project carried out in Lufthansa Systems Poland with the aim of (1) revisiting their ad-hoc actions to adapt to remote work; and (2) elaborating systematic solutions to maintain efficiency in such a setting. With our assistance, the participating teams found measures to mitigate issues posed by the new work environment. They devised an inter-team communication model to improve the effectiveness of information exchange that had declined in the absence of spontaneous, face-to-face communication. Moreover, they employed several other mitigation strategies, including working at least one day per week in the office, keeping webcams on during online meetings, and recapping meetings at the end of a session. Our study largely supports previous findings indicating that Scrum can be effectively applied beyond its comfort zone but also suggests that for adaptations to be successful and comprehensive, they should be developed in a structured manner.

Full textAbstract:
Despite mounting evidence of environmental uncertainty, South Florida communities continue to record steadily increasing growth, with Miami Dade County’s [MDC] population expanding by approximately 3.5% between 2014 and 2018.1 Currently, any concern of building insurance affordability/ availability, long-term financial investment risks and health/safety concerns have not significantly altered the short-term future of the construction and real-estate markets.2 The south Florida community’s commitment to urban development is ever present; but the question on the minds of community leaders, policy makers and the general public is, how do we create urban resilience? The architectural profession must address the agenda–how do buildings and policies anticipate an evolving environment and sustain longterm, safe occupation? And what are they made of? An abundant battery of raw material timber resource, a distributed network of mills, processing plants, and mass timber manufacturing facilities affords an opportunity for the Southeastern United States to focus on implementing wood fibre into the construction ecology. However, a critical hurdle to the successful implementation of mass timber wood products in Florida, and specifically in MDC, is within the policy and permitting process. The required certified product testing by the Florida Administrative Code3 and the Miami-Dade County Product Approvals and Notice of Acceptance4 is one of two jurisdictions in the United States implementing the stringent High Velocity Hurricane Zone [HVHZ]5 as an overlay to the Florida Building Code6-which must be successfully navigated for project realization. The focus of this paper engages the question how do we build as a regional inquiry to Southern Florida through a case study on a partnership forged between academics and practice at the University of Miami School of Architecture and Atelier Mey Architects. This collaboration is established with the shared objective of implementing an innovative path to the design and building permitting of cross-laminated timber [CLT] in MDC, specifically the qualitative and quantitative methods required for CLT case study’s success. Empirical methodologies used to understand building applications of mass timber products, specifically PRG-320 certified Cross Laminated Timber Panels7 in Florida is through the design, engineering and submission of drawings to the Miami-Dade building permitting office for review.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the results of experimental work on consulting support of professional practice of a teacher, which introduces local innovations. These innovations are initiated by teachers who need advice on developing a project to implement them in their professional activities. Innovative changes developed by the teacher infringe the order in the implementation of existing professional practice, which leads to the need for its technologization. The presented circumstances actualize consulting support as a form of teacher training directly at the workplace. The purpose of the research stated in the publication is to identify the impact of consulting support on the formation of competencies of consulted ones on the implementation of local innovations developed by them in their own professional practice. Consulting support of technologization by teachers-clients of their own professional practice, after the introduction of local innovative changes, was implemented in a mixed type, combining offline and online formats. The authors of the publication propose to evaluate the success of participants in consulting support for the products developed in its process: the project of technologization of professional practice and the program for its implementation. The obtained data were statistically processed using the parametric method of variance analysis. Statistical processing of the data obtained confirmed the effectiveness of this approach. Professional growth and motivation of educational institution specialists are regulated with statistical accuracy by consulting, which acts as an educational management practice. The consulting on the development of local innovations should be carried out continuously to support the teacher's strategically significant needs, and not just their fragmentary situational requests.

Full textAbstract:
Most thermal engineers will model and analyze thermal engineering cases, using any of the numerous thermal analysis software, available in the market. These commercial software need years of continuous use to be fully mastered. Large companies can afford to acquire expensive software available in the market and train their engineers; but small companies do not have the financial means to acquire such expensive software. Thus for modeling and analysis, small companies or private practice need a different alternative. Excel is one of the programs that come with Microsoft Office suite of software, which is installed on any purchased computer. Most users of Microsoft office are proficient in using Word, and can use Excel as a spread sheet to speed up calculations. Technical personnel can easily use the charting capability of Excel, but very few engineers can use Excel for intensive Numerical Analysis. Engineers should be able to use the available inexpensive Excel software to perform numerical analysis at their work place. In this article three Heat Transfer Numerical cases using Microsoft Excel are discussed in detail. the first case is two dimensional steady state heat transfer with different isothermal boundary conditions. The second shows other boundary conditions: uniform heat flux, adiabatic, and convection. The third case is transient conditions. The results from the three cases are compared with results from Patran Thermal software.

Abstract We describe how we implemented the MIMERBS non-linear integer optimization methodology to run across a virtual super-computer of existing Windows NT computers networked together by an ordinary office LAN. We describe how we configured this virtual computer and how we parallelized MIMERBS to work efficiently in view of the high communications costs of our virtual computer. We also describe how we made MIMERBS highly fault-tolerant and dynamically configurable; in particular we describe techniques for handling the loss of individual computers, for automatic on-the-fly addition of new computers, and for dynamic load-balancing. We also describe the techniques we used to share computer resources gracefully with officer workers using the same computers concurrently for ordinary word and data processing. We present performance results from specific MIMERBS applications. These examples show that performance of several gigaFLOPS is possible with just a few dozen ordinary computers on an office LAN.

Full textAbstract:
Realizing the benefits of research for human factors applications requires that academic theory and applied research in operational environments work in tandem, each informing the other. Mechanistic theories about cognitive processing gain insight from incorporating information from practical applications. Likewise, human factors implementations require an understanding of the underlying nature of the human operators that will be using those very implementations. This interplay holds great promise, but is too often thwarted by information from one side not flowing to the other. On one hand, basic researchers are often reluctant to accept research findings from complex environments and a relatively small number of highly-specialized participants. On the other hand, industry decision makers are often reluctant to believe results from simplified testing environments using non-expert research participants. The argument put forward here is that both types of data are fundamentally important, and explicit efforts should bring them together into unified and integrated research programs. Moreover, effectively understanding expert performance requires assessing non-expert populations.For many fields, it is critically important to understand how operators (e.g., radiologists, aviation security officers, military personnel) perform in their professional setting. Extensive research has explored a breadth of factors that can improve, or hinder, operators’ success, however, the vast majority of these research endeavors hit the same roadblock—it is practically difficult to test specialized operators. They can be hard to gain access to, have limited availability, and sometimes there just are not enough of them to conduct the needed research. Therefore, non-expert populations can provide a much-needed resource. Specifically, it can be highly useful to create a closed-loop ecosystem wherein an idea rooted in an applied realm (e.g., radiologists are more likely to miss an abnormality if they just found another abnormality) is explored with non-experts (e.g., undergraduate students) to affordably and extensively explore a number of theoretical and mechanistic possibilities. Then, the most promising candidate outcomes can be brought back to the expert population for further testing. With such a process, researchers can explore possible ideas with the more accessible population and then only use the specialized population with vetted research paradigms and questions.While such closed-looped research practices offer a way to best use available resources, the argument here is also that it is necessary to assess non-experts to fully understand expert performance. That is, even if researchers have full access to a large number of experts, they still need to test non-experts. Specifically, assessing non-experts allows for quantifying fundamentally important factors, such as strategic vs. perceptual drivers of performance and the time course of learning. Many of the potential gains in the applied sphere come from selecting the best people to train into becoming experts; without non-expert performance it is impossible to know how to enact that selection or to divorce the effects of extensive practice and expertise from the operational environment. While there has been an, at times, adversarial relationship between research practices that use non-expert vs. expert participants, the proposal here is that embracing both is vital for fully understanding the nature of expert performance.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reports an analysis of IT software skills of some Victorian students on entry to first year tertiary studies in Business along with an analysis of their performance in “Office” type application assignments. The assumption that youth of today are IT literate on exit from school is questioned. Despite survey results suggesting a high level of skill in word processing and, to a lesser extent in spreadsheets, results on assignments in these areas may suggest students perceive their skills as being better than their actual performance. In crowded curricula, where there is pressure to include ever more material at the expense of more traditional topics, word processing and spreadsheet applications are sometimes suggested for removal. The study reported here finds little evidence that these topics should be removed from the curriculum at this stage.

Full textAbstract:
Taking advantage of computationally lightweight, but high-quality translators prompt consideration of new applications that address neglected languages. For projects with protected or personal data, translators for less popular or low-resource languages require specific compliance checks before posting to a public translation API. In these cases, locally run translators can render reasonable, cost-effective solutions if done with an army of offline, smallscale pair translators. Like handling a specialist’s dialect, this research illustrates translating two historically interesting, but obfuscated languages: 1) hacker-speak (“l33t”) and 2) reverse (or “mirror”) writing as practiced by Leonardo da Vinci. The work generalizes a deep learning architecture to translatable variants of hacker-speak with lite, medium, and hard vocabularies. The original contribution highlights a fluent translator of hacker-speak in under 50 megabytes and demonstrates a companion text generator for augmenting future datasets with greater than a million bilingual sentence pairs. A primary motivation stems from the need to understand and archive the evolution of the international computer community, one that continuously enhances their talent for speaking openly but in hidden contexts. This training of bilingual sentences supports deep learning models using a long short-term memory, recurrent neural network (LSTM-RNN). It extends previous work demonstrating an English-to-foreign translation service built from as little as 10,000 bilingual sentence pairs. This work further solves the equivalent translation problem in twenty-six additional (non-obfuscated) languages and rank orders those models and their proficiency quantitatively with Italian as the most successful and Mandarin Chinese as the most challenging. For neglected languages, the method prototypes novel services for smaller niche translations such as Kabyle (Algerian dialect) which covers between 5-7 million speakers but one which for most enterprise translators, has not yet reached development. One anticipates the extension of this approach to other important dialects, such as translating technical (medical or legal) jargon and processing health records or handling many of the dialects collected from specialized domains (mixed languages like “Spanglish”, acronym-laden Twitter feeds, or urban slang).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The monitoring of controlled operation alarms in the oil and gas industry is crucial and challenging. Alarms are one of the key factors used to monitor operational performance. In 2015, PDO was dealing with more than 100,000 alarms per day from 64 assets with different DCS systems. To achieve top quartile performance, PDO must maintain alarm per operator KPIs at best industry practice. As Jun Liu et al. [3] note, "poor performance of existing alarm systems actually puts lives at risk and contributes to major plant damage, production loss, and environmental impact, leading to losses of millions." Alarms are collected, prioritized and historized by modern control technologies such as Distributed Control System (DCS). A DCS is a centralized intelligent control system with multiple nodes and I/O devices connected via a dedicated network. There are three major challenges in DCS related to the analysis of alarms: Alarm data is not visible to non-system engineers/operators. This limits the ability of other personnel to understand and analyze alarms, which can lead to delays in responding to critical events.DCS is not designed to gather long-term historical data on alarms. This means that data older than six months cannot be retrieved for trending analysis. This can make it difficult to identify patterns and trends in alarm data that could be used to improve operational performance.Due to the lack of a common interface between different DCS providers, end users cannot have a holistic overview of facility performance. This can make it difficult to identify and address common alarm-related problems across different facilities. These challenges highlight the need for improved alarm management solutions in the oil and gas industry. Solutions that address these challenges could help to improve operational safety, efficiency, and reliability. The Control and Automation Department at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) has developed a dedicated dashboard called Baseera, an Arabic word meaning "insight," to tackle the issue of data unification, model-guided analytics, and simplified visualization of big data related to alarm management, process health, and system diagnostics. Baseera is a web-based portal designed using Tableau, a business intelligence and analytics software. The development of Baseera faced several challenges, including unstructured data, the lack of system redundancy, and a firewall between the Office Domain (OD, the end-user network) and the Process Control Domain (PCD, the source of the data). First, the Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) layer within Baseera was used to improve the structured data. Second, a high availability of Baseera was achieved through the installation of Tableau Server, a special type of distributed installation designed to accommodate failure in key server components without loss of complete server functionality. Third, the collaboration between Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server enabled the data to flow from the PCD (source) to the OD (destination) through the firewall.

Full textAbstract:
Modern educational technologies offer great opportunities for teachers of general education institutions to develop key competencies in students in the geography and ecology classes. Curriculum guidelines in geography pay great attention to improving the skills of unsupervised activities, including using the resources of geographic information systems. The outcomes of mastering the main educational program should reflect the knowledge of geoinformation technologies as a tool for collecting and processing research materials and as a source of geographic information. The aim of geoinformation technologies in the educational process is to form the information competency of the participants in the educational process, and to ensure the evolution of the cognitive activity of schoolchildren. In practice, the teacher faces various problems. Poor technical equipment of the school, lack of motivation and knowledge, lack of proper competencies are significant �gaps� in the teacher�s information competence. Field observations and their office analysis are an integral process of studying geography and ecology both in a general educational institution and in a university. Currently, the study and research of the natural environment is quite closely related to the use of geographic information systems and various types of geoinformation resources: electronic digital maps, sets and databases of spatial data, GIS services and many others, students should master their capabilities and actively apply them in their research. Geoinformation software systems enable to process a huge amount of data obtained during various studies as well as to organize and regulate information that has a spatial reference.
