Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a process model on how mindfully performed organisational routines can simultaneously enable organisational stability and organisational change. Design/methodology/approach Via conceptual analysis, the authors develop several propositions and a process model integrating the theory of mindfulness and performative aspects of organisational routines with organisational stability and change. To do so, the authors review the literature on organisational routines, mindfulness, stability, inertia and change. Findings First, the authors demonstrate that, based on levels of mindfulness employed, performative aspects of organisational routines can be categorised as mindless, mindful and collectively mindful (meta-routines). Second, in the process model, the authors position the mindless performance of routines as enabling organisational stability, mediated through inertial pressure and disabling change, mediated through constrained change capacities. Finally, the authors state that engaging routines with mindfulness at an individual (mindful routines) or collective (meta-routines) level reduces inertia and facilitates change. Such simultaneous engagement leads to either sustaining stability when required or implementing continuous organisational change. Research limitations/implications The framework uses continuous, versus episodic, change; future research can consider the model’s workability with episodic change. Future research can also seek to empirically validate the model. The authors hope that this model informs research in organisational change and provides guidance on addressing organisational inertia. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to categorise the performative aspects of organisational routine based on the extent of mindfulness employed and propose that mindfulness-based practice of routines stimulates either inertia-induced or inertia-free stability and continuous change.

COVID-19 has prompted an urgent need for organisations to adapt to continuously changing circumstances. Given the unpredictable challenges, a traditional, tightly planned approach to managing episodic change is likely to be suboptimal. Based on the need to manage continuous change and ensure workplaces are prepared for further unexpected events, it is argued that developing employees' adaptive performance is a better approach. Drawing on the literature identified in Park and Park's recent review of adaptive performance and its antecedents, the authors conduct a parallel review of the managerial implications of these findings. Findings are organised into sections related to employee selection, training, work design, leader behaviour, and organisational climate. Each practical recommendation is reviewed in terms of its feasibility of implementation and likely effectiveness.

Theories of organizational change tend to consider episodic and continuous change to be ontologically incompatible. We discuss how their assumed incompatibility stems from different conceptions of time. The main contribution of this chapter is to demonstrate how, by taking an event-based view, the two types of change may be integrated with one another. Continuous change takes place in the present as events in the making, whereas episodic change is marked by events in the past or as projected upon the future. This endogenous view of time as events “from within” enables the ontological gap between episodic and continuous change to be bridged. It enables us to understand how actors evoke previous episodic changes or project future episodic changes while pursuing continuous change in the on-going present. Also, in this view, continuous and episodic change become seen as two intertwined dimensions of interplay along what we call an immanent temporal trajectory.

This essay discusses how views of organizational change and innovation have traditionally focused on planned episodic change that focuses on rational, strategic, top-down and consensus-directed interventions following teleological or regulatory process models. Future scholarship seems to be focusing more on unplanned continuous organizational changes that emphasize experiential, emergent, bottom-up, pluralistic social movements following dialectical and evolutionary models of change. While planned-episodic and unplanned-continuous change may appear to be opposing views of organizational change, they are entangled in one-another, and provide a rich agenda of future scholarship on processes of organizational change and innovation.

By careful control of the electron beam it is possible to simultaneously induce and observe the phase transformation from monomer to polymer in certain solid-state polymcrizable diacetylenes. The continuous change in the crystal structure from DCHD diacetylene monomer (a=1.76 nm, b=1.36 nm, c=0.455 nm, γ=94 degrees, P2l/c) to polymer (a=1.74 nm, b=1.29 nm, c=0.49 nm, γ=108 degrees, P2l/c) occurs at a characteristic dose (10−4C/cm2) which is five orders of magnitude smaller than the critical end point dose (20 C/cm2). Previously we discussed the progress of this phase transition primarily as observed down the [001] zone (the chain axis direction). Here we report on the associated changes of the dark field (DF) images and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns of the crystals as observed from the side (i.e., in the [hk0] zones).High resolution electron micrographs (HREM), DF images, and SAED patterns were obtained on a JEOL 4000 EX HREM operating at 400 kV.

It has been known that both in the world and in Turkey a continuous change has been experienced in the provision of health services in recent years. In this sense by adopting the customer(client) focused approach of either public or private sector hospitals; it has been seen that they are in the struggle for presenting a right, fast, trustuble, comfy service. The purpose of this research is to measure the satisfaction degree, expectations and perceptions of the patients in Karabük State Hospital through comparison. In this context, the patient satisfaction scale which has been developed as a result of literature review has been used and by this scale it has been tried to measure the satisfaction levels of the patients in terms of material and human factors which are the two main factors of the service that was presented. In the study, with the scales of Servqual and 0-100 Points together, in the part of the analysis MANOVA have been used. The expectations and the perceptions of the patient has been compared first by generally and then by separating to different groups according to the various criterias and in thisway it has been tried to be measured their satisfaction levels. According to the results that were obtained, although, the satisfaction levels of the patients who have taken service from Karabük State Hospital are high in terms of thedoctors and the nurses; it has been reached to the result that their satisfaction levels are low in terms of the materials that have been used at the presenting of the service and the management.

При прохождении стружечноклеевой массы по ленточному прессу и формования ее в изделие под вальцами происходит постоянное изменение свойств материала. От несвязной сыпучей композиции материал в результате пьезотермообработки должен преобразоваться в монолитное фасонное изделие. Силовое и температурные воздействия в процессе обработки вызывают в материале, а затем и в готовом изделии переменное напряженное состояние, которое в значительной степени определяет целостность и окончательные механические свойства готовой продукции. В настоящей статье исследуются напряженные состояния в наиболее опасном месте пресса – под профилирующим вальцом. Основная цель исследования заключается в попытке объяснить появление дефектов изделия и наметить конструктивные и технологические мероприятия по их устранению или хотя бы смягчению. При проведении предварительных экспериментов по изготовлению погонажных изделий из стружечноклеевой массы был обнаружен ряд основных недостатков. Большинство дефектов связано с процессом профилирования и возникают под профилирующим барабаном. Очевидно, причиной всех отмеченных дефектов являются экстремальные условия деформирования материала под барабаном и несоответствие термомеханического состояния обрабатываемого материала характеру деформирования. На основании проведенных исследований можно сделать основные выводы: продольный изгиб при прокатке изделий из стружечноклеевой массы представляет существенную опасность и может быть причиной расслоения изделий по ширине; уменьшение вредного влияния продольного изгиба по ширине изделия может быть достигнуто за счет его интенсивного разогрева и ограничения отверждения связующего под вальцами; диаметры профилирующих барабанов необходимо делать максимальными по конструктивным соображениям; оптимальным вариантом является профилирование на прямолинейных участках, где радиус равен бесконечности; необходимо обеспечить жесткую синхронизацию линейных скоростей по всем точкам контакта изделия с рабочими органами прессового оборудования. Такие условия автоматически удовлетворяется в гусеничном прессе, что дополнительно характеризует его достоинства. When shaving and glue mix passing through a tape press and its formations to product under rollers there is a continuous change of properties of material. From incoherent loose composition material as a result of a pyezoterm processing has to be transformed to a monolithic shaped product. Power and temperature influences in processing cause in material, and then and in a finished product a variable tension which substantially defines integrity and final mechanical properties of finished goods. In the present article intense states in the most dangerous place of a press – under the main roller are investigated. The main objective of research consists in attempt to explain emergence of defects of a product and to plan constructive and technological actions for their elimination or at least to mitigation. When carrying out preliminary experiments on production wooden materials from shaving and glue mix has been found a number of the main shortcomings. The majority of defects is connected with process of profiling and arise under a main drum. Obviously, extreme conditions of deformation of material under a drum and discrepancy of a thermomechanical condition of the processed material to nature of deformation are the reason of all noted defects. On the basis of the conducted researches it is possible to draw the main conclusions: the longitudinal bend when rolling products of shaving and glue mix constitutes essential danger and can be the cause of stratification of products on width; reduction of an adverse effect of a longitudinal bend on width of a product can be reached at the expense of its intensive warming up and restriction of curing binding under rollers; diameters of main drums need to be done maximum for constructive reasons; an optimal variant is profiling on straight sections where radius is equal to infinity; it is necessary to provide rigid synchronization of line speeds on all contact points of a product with operating parts of the press equipment. Such conditions it is automatically satisfied in a truck press that in addition characterizes its advantages.

A roly-poly child obviously attracts many attentions but if the trend remains unchanged it could be a reason of worry as this is the primitive sign of childhood obesity which is the leading problem in today’s era. With continuous change in life style and dietary habits, child has become the victim of many diseases and obesity (Sthaulya) is one of them. There are and were some human activists talking about reducing the weight of study bags; but none is thinking about the weight our babies are carrying. In present era both parents are working, to earn the luxuries and amusements, so the kids are left with the food packets at home with idiot boxes to see some “de-shaped” cartoons resulting in the reduction of healthy nutritious diet and also reducing their body activity. The body weight of our babies is putting pressure on their “cuteness”, their “happiness”, their “emotions” and on their “being”. In Ayurveda it needs step by step examination and treatment to break the ‘Dushtasamprapti Chakra’ of Sthaulya by both non pharmacological such as Yoga and pharmacological remedies such as Panchakarma therapy, Shamana therapy etc. to achieve the goal.

The paper considers a method for simulating the flight of a multistage rocket in Matlab using Simulink software for control and guidance. The model takes into account the anisotropy of the gravity of the Earth, changes in the pressure and density of the atmosphere, piecewise continuous change of the center of mass and the moment of inertia of the rocket during the flight. Also, the proposed model allows you to work out various targeting options using both onboard and ground‑based information tools, to load information from the ground‑based radar, with imitation of «non‑ideality» of incoming target designations as a result of changes in the accuracy of determining coordinates and speeds, as well as signal fluctuations. It is stipulated that the design is variable not only by the number of steps, but also by their types. The calculations are implemented in a matrix form, which allows parallel operations in each step of processing a multidimensional state vector of the simulated object.
