Collaborative Interactions

Collaboration is essential for the success of construction projects. However, the concept of collaboration is unclear, and the term is often related to different meanings. Construction research defines collaboration in different ways, having been influenced by other research fields (e.g., social sciences and philosophy). This paper discusses existing definitions of collaboration and how they relate to three perspectives on the nature of collaborative interactions, linked to organisational metaphors. The research was developed through a literature review, including the conceptual analysis of existing definitions of collaboration. The discussion proposes that metaphors not only describe collaboration ontologically, but also establish different appreciative systems by which individuals conceive and evaluate their collaborative performance. The aim of this discussion is to address the lack of consistency in defining collaboration in construction, embracing the coexistence of interpretations. This can help researchers and practitioners understand how to overcome misunderstandings and explore initiatives to improve collaboration.

This is a literature review to understand trends in grit-related nursing research published in the Korean Journal of Nursing. The literature search was targeted at articles published in Korean nursing journals including “grit” and “nursing.” Articles published in 2015-2020 were included. A total of 20 papers suitable for literature review were analyzed. These studies included 2 conceptual analysis studies, 3 tool development studies, and 15 descriptive research studies containing correlation and factor analysis were analyzed. For the target population, 6 studies targeting clinical nurses, 13 targeting nursing students, and 1 targeting patients were analyzed. In future grit-related nursing research, experimental study designs to apply grit should be used.

The advantages of a one-time printing of military technical manuals that can be used without change by common language military allies is self-evident. The author describes efforts that have been made in this direction by the ABCA nations. In the process the time-honored method of structuring manuals to follow a rigid maintenance philosophy had to yield to a more flexible approach. Under this approach, each nation or military service is free to set its own maintenance philosophy independently of the pertinent manual. An interesting potential for eliminating further minor differences in the varied requirements of the military services is thereby suggested.
