Use Of Knowledge

The use of Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS) has become an essential element for competitiveness in modern economies. New competitive advantages often relate to capacity of innovation, the correct use of information and communication technologies, product design or market analysis, among others. The activities related to these new advantages require a great specialization in order to obtain high levels of efficiency. This is the main reason that explains the general tendency to contract externally KIBS. Nevertheless, externalisation is not necessarily a guarantee of efficiency. This paper focuses on Aragon, with a relatively under-developed supply of KIBS, and explores the effect of the use and external provision of these services on regional firms’ efficiency. We use a database of tertiary and secondary firms and apply a non-parametric approach, the DEA technique, to this analysis. Results show that the mere use of KIBS has no clear effect on efficiency, but such a clear effect can be observed when some types of these activities are externally consumed.

Use Of Knowledge

Architecture, Engineering and Construction or generally construction industry has recently been characterized by increased requirements for information and communication technologies and knowledge systems. All participants of a construction project, from architect through contractor to investor require a high level of automatization. This results in pressure and increased demand for the use of knowledge systems that streamline these processes. This research discusses the issue of the knowledgebased system used in architecture, engineering and construction field. The main aim of the research was to analyze knowledge-based systems used in architecture, engineering and construction and find the overview of exploitation level in this construction sector. The research sample includes all significant participants of the construction project from designer to investor. All research samples were tested by statistical tests and all the data coming from the construction project are realized in Slovakia.

This paper identifies the profiles of Brazilian firms according to their use of knowledge management (KM) practices, and then compares both innovative performance and organisational performance among these profiles. It contributes to the knowledge-based view literature by extending our knowledge about the most efficient configurations of KM practices in emerging countries. A sample of 206 Brazilian firms was surveyed, and cluster analysis was used for identifying the firm profiles. We found that in emerging countries like Brazil, there are different firm profiles regarding the KM practices they use, and these configurations may lead the firm to different levels of performance. Specifically, we found that firms that achieve superior innovation performance have configurations of KM practices that include a high use of strategic management of knowledge, Information and communication technologies (ICT) that supports KM, and three knowledge-based human resource management practices: recruitment, training and development, and appraisal.

The article proves that effective training of students of the higher technical school in differential equations can be achieved through the development and implementation of a computer-oriented practical training methodology. The methods, forms, and tools of training are described. The use of an educational site and the educational book «Computer-oriented practical exercises on differential equations» is proposed to contribute to the formation of students' abilities to work with ICT, which allow them to develop skills for creating mathematical models, apply procedures for solving differential equations and their systems, and involve software for analyzing and solving certain models. The goals of training were specified, the use of computer-oriented organizational methods and forms of training were proposed when describing the methodology. Implementation of the methodology involves using the developed system of tasks (mathematical, practical, professionally oriented), which promote conscious use of knowledge and skills to apply differential models in students’ future professional activities. The results of the experimental verification of the developed methodology of computer-oriented practical training in differential equations are presented. Indicators of the evaluation of the effectiveness of implementing the developed methodology in the learning process were: levels of mastering certain academic skills by students, levels of forming students’ skills in mathematical modelling and skills necessary for professional activities of future specialists, in particular, their abilities to use information and communication technologies.

Abstract   The objective of this research is to find out the use of Whatsapp Messenger as a mobile media to learn writing in EFL classes.Several researchers have attempted to prove applicability of mobile learning as modern ways of teaching and learning (Naismith, 2004:115). Moreover, applying portable technologies have been demanded by most of the modern learners who oftentimes are forced to study anywhere, and anytime, for example, at work, in the bus or at weekends (Evans, 2008:115).The research was motivated by the students’ difficulties in writing. The sample of this research was three classes of first grade students of English Department of Unswagati. The instrument of this research was questionnaire sheet. Data from questionnaire sheet was analyzed based on the frequency students’ answers and then was calculated and interpreted into percentages. The result shows WhatsApp Messenger attracts the students interest and also the students have positive responses towards the using ofWhatsAppMessenger. In applying WhatsApp group, the writer concluded that, learning using WhatsApp group has effective to develop their creativity in writing skill. On the other hand, the result from the questionnaire sheet indicated that almost of students is active in learning to writing recount text. Students can learn out of the classroom. Beside WhatsApp can be used privately, it can be used for students’ education. The students can use their gadget positively for their ability in learning English. The students can improve their knowledge in learning ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies).

Role Of Information

If we want to convert our rural population into knowledge driven, progressive, self sufficient, self reliant, sustainable society, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) cannot be ignored. Timely availability information is considered as most important factor in Indian agriculture. At present ICT is the technology of this millennium. Transferring the developed technology to all end users is time-consuming and tiresome task and is often not completed due to paucity of resources and lack of manpower. In India, agriculture and rural development has gained significantly from ICT due to its widespread extension and adoption. In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.

Borders and bodies are increasingly regulated by data-capturing mechanisms spread across the world through information and communication technologies. This article traces the features and implications of such a border-body datalogical entanglement through the figure of the drug mule. It analyzes government documents and recorded case studies to argue that this figure emerges from an assemblage of cultural narratives, legal structures, human labor, technical practices, and biological processes. The datalogical drug mule is already implicated in a struggle over what, and how, data is meaningful and actionable. Investigating this figure allows us to begin disentangling the data-driven mechanisms that constitute modern borders and bodies while at the same time accounting for analog continuities in contemporary practices of border security.
