La papa es considerada uno de los principales cultivos agrícolas en el mundo en cuanto a superficie. En Venezuela, ocupa el octavo lugar en producción y  primer lugar de las raíces y tubérculos. Para consumo fresco predomina el cultivar Granola, de origen alemán, susceptible a candelilla tardía (Phytophthora infestans).  En este contexto,  el objetivo de la presente investigación fue seleccionar los genotipos de papa (Solanum tuberosum L.) adaptados a las condiciones agroecológicas del estado Mérida. La emergencia de los genotipos estuvo por encima del 80% en todas las localidades consideradas. Los valores de AUDPC variaron de 0 hasta 7865 en el testigo susceptible. Siete clones y cinco cultivares no presentaron la enfermedad, mientras los mayores valores de AUDPC fueron para los cultivares Granola, Diacol Capiro, Andinita y Montañita, por lo que estos materiales  mostraron baja resistencia a candelilla tardía. El rendimiento promedio más alto se registró en el clon 301002.6 (49.63 t.ha-1), mientras que el menor  se obtuvo en   Única - Peruana (4.14 t.ha-1). El 85 % de los materiales superaron al testigo en rendimiento.  De acuerdo a la prueba múltiple de Duncan se formaron 23 grupos, observándose que estadísticamente existen diferencias altamente significativas entre los genotipos evaluados (p<0,001). La materia seca (% sólidos) estuvo por encima del 14 %, no obstante, superaron el 15 % de defectos totales por lo que solo resultaron aptas para la industrias los clones 382121.25, 382151.22 y los cultivares  María Bonita, Iniafrit, Fripapa y Diacol Capiro.
Best Value Procurement Results within the GSA
Authors: Savicky John , Kashiwagi Dean , Barlish Kristen , Sullivan Kenneth
Published: May 2020

A large government agency, seeking to become more efficient, implemented the Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS) Best Value (BV) process on various construction projects to determine if the program could increase the performance of outsourced services. The impact of this model for increasing the performance of procured projects is presented. The environment of the projects and testing of the process were unique, as they allowed concurrent testing and validation of multiple projects, similar in scope, and uniform application of key performance metrics. A case study is also used to illustrate the overall performance of the BV process. The findings in this paper show that the process resulted in approximately a 60% increase in performance with regards to customer satisfaction, project delays, and cost increases. In an industry with delays in excess of 20-50%, a model that results in an increase of performance for outsourced services is significant.
Forestland management and empowerment: A phenomenological inquiry into the experiences of women forestland managers in the state of Georgia, USA
Authors: Harriman Hallie C. , Fuhrman Nicholas E. , Kelsey Kathleen D. , Woosnam Kyle Maurice
Published: May 2020

Women are increasingly becoming the primary decision-makers of forested properties throughout the United States. The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of women forestland owners in Georgia. A qualitative phenomenological research design was used to interview nine female forestland owners. Three themes emerged from the semi-structured interviews. Participants stated that land management involved: (a) initial feelings of inadequacy (an imposter syndrome), (b) personal and professional resources, and (c) genuine relationships. The theory of empowerment provided a basis for interpreting the findings and aided in the development of recommendations for future practice and research.  We found that  women experienced a temporary imposter stage early in land management that gave way to feeling empowered as their experiences with managing land increased. Access to trustworthy information, as well as genuine relationships with forestry professionals and other landowners, played key roles in such advancement. We recommend  strategies for natural resource professionals to consider, including encouraging formal and informal networking opportunities when working with female audiences, including at educational outreach events like those hosted by Extension.

HUBUNGAN INTERPERSONAL DALAM KONTEKS SOSIAL MASYARAKAT URBAN YOGYAKARTA: KAJIAN PRIVASI AKUSTIK, VISUAL DAN FISIK
Authors: Anggraini Lya Dewi
Published: May 2020

Aktivitas manusia sehari-hari memiliki kebutuhan akan kendali atas interaksi dengan orang lain yang berlebihan secara akustik, visual, maupun fisik. Penelitian ini menganalisis ulang data sekunder yang diambil untuk disertasi yang tidak dipublikasikan, berupa hasil survei terhadap 87 responden di dua pusat urban di Yogyakarta, Pecinan dan Kauman, yang dipersempit menjadi 30 subjek. Survei mengujikan jarak sosial melalui hubungan interpersonal untuk aspek privasi akustik, visual dan fisik, berdasarkan kategori “orang asing”, “pelanggan”, “pekerja/pelayan”, “teman”, “keluarga” dan “diri sendiri”. Dari setiap kategori, jawaban responden terganggu atau tidak akan memberi nilai nihil atau ada untuk 16 jenis kegiatan seharihari yang mencakup kegiatan pribadi hingga sosial. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa kebutuhan privasi responden berbeda-beda yang dipengaruhi oleh situasi sosial lingkungan hunian mereka. Responden cenderung mengabaikan “teman” dan sangat sedikit mengakui “diri sendiri” pada saat melakukan kegiatan pribadi, misalnya, mandi mengizinkan “keluarga”. Hal ini mengungkapkan makna praktis modal sosial yang terjadi di wilayah urban Yogyakarta bahwa nilai-nilai sosial masyarakat masih dijunjung tinggi, ditunjukkan melalui nilai individual tidak tampak menonjol, sementara “teman” dalam situasi lingkungan hunian dianggap hubungan yang tidak memiliki jarak sosial yang nyata.

RESPONSE OF COCONUT TO INCREASING LEVELS OF LEAF PRUNING AND ITS IMPLICATIONS ON FARM PRODUCTIVITY
Authors: S.S. Magat  , L.H. Canja  , R.Z. Margate
Published: May 2020

Effects on nut production and copra (wt/nut and yield/tree of four leaf pruning conditions (LP): control (no LP); LP from leaf 24; leaf 19 and leaf 14 with 31, 23, 18 and 13, remaining leaves on each palm, respectively, was studied on adult bearing palms at the Davao Research Center, Philippine Coconut Authority. As a reference point, leaf 1 is considered as the youngest expanded leaf, while leaf 19, the one supporting the 7‑8 month old developing nuts or buko.

 

Except in the first year of LP of which nut and copra yields under all LP conditions were similar to the unpruned palms, the following second and third years of LP indicated that leaf pruning from leaf 19 or maintaining only the 18 younger, upper leaves of the tree crown strongly showed the capability of the coconut to still support the normal development and maturity of nuts. As a result of LP, sunlight transmission to intercrops increased by about 120% compared to unpruned palms. This was translated to higher intercrop yield of corn (2.16 t increased to 3.71 t/ha) which is strongly attributed to the average 4,000 ft candles of sunlight (190.5 PAR) observed with LP from leaf 19 and the rest of the leaves below.

 

In relation to increased sunlight transmission, intercropping, water economy and drought tolerance, pest and disease control and added income from pruned leaves, implications of LP are pointed out.
COCONUT TAPPING IN THE PHILIPPINES ENIGMAS AND OBSERVATIONS
Authors: Rebecco M. Santiago  , Ma Solita J. Virtudazo
Published: May 2020

Individual interviews were conducted to 24 purposively selected coconut tappers from Leyte, Samar and Cebu, Philippines to determine their tapping practices and observations and knowledge on certain phenomena exhibited by the tapped palm, as well as, the problems which confront them. Specifically, inquiries were focused on tree selection, spadix/inflorescence age appropriate for tapping, spadix preparation and stimulation, spadix care and maintenance, climatic considerations and relations, and temporary cessation of inflorescence production.

 

Data revealed certain enigmatic phenomena and some inconsistencies to long‑held physiological facts. Moreover, respondents' observations strongly point out the toddy yield's extreme sensitivity to climatic and weather change which could be best validated by further coconut physiology research.
QUALITY OF COPRA MANUFACTURED FROM SUB-STANDARD NUTS
Authors: S B. Ratnayake'
Published: May 2020

It is well known that copra manufactured from sub­standard nuts are invariably of poor quality. The reasons that lead to or poor quality are varied, depending on the nature of the defect of the raw material. However, a better understanding of the parameters that cause poor quality can lead to attainment of considerable advantages, through minimization of losses arising from deterioration of quality of the product. Though the copra manufactured out of substandard raw material may not strictly meet with the standards of up-market grades such as "Edible " or the "Milling Superior" (See Sri Lankan Standards for Copra) the losses associated with the conventionally practiced systems are evidently possible to be reduced by using appropriate drying techniques. The trials carried out indicate some variations in preparation of raw material and the drying regimes, suitable for substandard nuts depending on the defect of raw material.
PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF IN VITRO-GROWN COCONUT (Cocos nucifera L.) PLANTS DURING ACCLIMATIZATION
Authors: C S Ranasinghe  , L K Weerakoon  , Y  M H Liyanage  , D T Mathes
Published: May 2020

The physiological status of in vitro-grown coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) plants during acclimatization was studied using nursery-raised seedlings as the control.  The percentage of open stomata in leaves of in vitro-grown coconut plants was high at the initial stage of acclimatization but decreased during the course of acclimatization indicating an improvement in stomatal regulation.  A progressive increase in the stomatal density, epicuticular wax deposition and leaf thickness in in vitro-grown plants was observed during acclimatization. As a result of the low light intensity, the epidermal cells of in vitro-grown plants were narrower and longer when compared to the control.  With the exposure of plants to increased light intensity, the cells became wider and shorter as observed in the control.

 

The leaf chlorophyll content was high in in vitro-grown plants under low light intensity.  With increasing light intensity, a reduction in leaf chlorophyll content in vitro-grown plants was observed and at the later stages of acclimatization, it was comparable to that of the control. Variations in the rates of photosynthesis and transpiration in vitro-grown plants were observed in response to the changing environmental conditions.  However, at the end of acclimatization, where the plants were ready to be transferred to the field, the physiological statuses of in vitro-grown coconut plants were comparable to that of nursery raised seedlings. The present study revealed that the embryo-cultured coconut plants could adjust well to the changing environmental conditions during acclimatization.

This article was written with two goals. The first is to show that coconut milk is an important product, at least to those in­ volved in the production of coconuts. The second is to suggest how the market for preserved coconut milk might be expanded.

 

We will first review how coconut milk is consumed, for what purposes and in what quantity. Next we will look at the diffe­rent kinds of preserved coconut milk. Finally, we will consider how the market for preserved coconut milk might be bolstered by standardizing its quality.
IMPORTANT DISEASES OF COCONUT IN INDIA
Authors: K. K. N. Nambiar  , Rohini Iyer
Published: May 2020

Today India stands at the third position as far as the world situation of coconut production is concerned. Coconut occupies 1.1. million hectares of land producing 6,887 million nuts in this country. In the southern part of the country viz. Kerala, Kamata­ka, Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh, coconut is a very good source of income and these states account for most of the production of coconut. In spite of the importance it has in India's economy, the productivity of the crop is low. Although many factors are res­ponsible for the poor yields, the most important of these are the diseases that attack these palms and affect their productivity. Among these diseases, a few are killers while others are slow and debilitating in nature. For some of them the cause is known while the aetiology of some others is still elusive. This review envisages in discussing some of the recent research trends in the major diseases of coconut in India.
THE PRODUCTION AND PROPERTIES OF COCONUT STEM CHARCOAL IN THAILAND
Authors: J. Dootson  , Peyanoot Naka  , Maliwan Rattanapruk  , Panit Ngangoranatigar
Published: May 2020

A programme of experimentation and training on the production of charcoal from coconut stems in transportable metal k.ilns was carried out. Comparisons were made between different timber densities, preparation methods and kiln loading systems. Other timber sources and traditional kilns were used. The highest density coconut wood produced the best charcoal and extensive preparation was found to be necessary. Local clay kilns produced excellent charcoal, but were slow and needed considerable fuel. Coconut stem charcoal. production was markedly different from carbonisation of wood from dicotyledonous trees.

 

The charcoal produced was found to have similar calorific value to that from other woods, but was faster‑burning and easier to ignite. Content of volatile matter was low and little ash was produced. The charcoal was often rather wet. A sample of consurners found that the charcoal was better than they had expected. The main complaint was the speed of burning.
PROCESSING OF COIR A BIOLOGICAL APPROACH TO RETTING OF COCONUT HUSKS
Authors: ANITA DAS RAVINDRANATH
Published: May 2020

White coir fibre is extracted from coconut husks after 'retting' for a period varying between six to ten months depending upon several environmental factors. With a view to explore the possibility of reducing the prolonged period required for retting and improving the quality of the coir fibre a field study was conducted at Azhikode in the N. Parur regions of Kerala which is a 'poor'* retting area. Selected strains of efficient pectin and phenol degrading bacterial cultures were inoculated into pits containing lots of husks soaked for retting. Samples of husks were analysed at regular intervals for details of degradation of the husk constituents holding the individual fibres together. It was observed that inoculation of the bacterial strains could shorten the period of retting by two and a half months and yield an improved quality of fibre with respect to colour and texture. The detaiis of the experimental field study are presented in this paper.
SEQUENTIAL COCONUT TODDY (SAP) AND NUT PRODUCTION
Authors: J.N. MARAVILLA  , S.S. MAGAT
Published: May 2020

Production schemes, namely sequential, production of coconut sap/toddy and nuts in same spathe/spadix (SCTNP); nut production only (NP) and toddy production only (CTWS) were tested at PCA Davao Research Center, using Laguna Tall for a period of three years. Palms under the CTWS and the SCTNP had more coconut sap yield over the periodic tapping and nut production (3 or 6 month’s duration) in three years of tapping operation. Annual toddy yield in the SCTNP did not differ significantly with the CTWS during the first and third years of tapping. Generally nut yield of palms with SCTNP was about 50% lower than control palms (NP). As compared to palms under NP, copra yield per palm with SCTNP was likewise around 50% lower. Leaf nutrient concentrations of N, P, K. Ca. Mg, Na, Cl, S and B were not significantly affected by toddy‑lapping under the four production schemes.

 

Results clearly showed that the sequential coconut toddy and nut production (SCTNP) is strongly feasible and economically viable to supply both toddy and nuts as farm products by small scale coconut farmers. Compared to the traditional practice of producing nut alone (P 7,500.00 per ha average annual income), SCTNP provides an average net income of P 71,000.00 per ha (P 520.00 per tree), annually.
A Probabilistic Approach to Kepler Completeness and Reliability for Exoplanet Occurrence Rates
Authors: Bryson S. , Coughlin J. , Batalha N. M. , Berger T. , Huber D. , Burke C. , Dotson J. , Mullally S. E.
Published: May 2020

Exoplanet catalogs produced by surveys suffer from a lack of completeness (not every planet is detected) and less than perfect reliability (not every planet in the catalog is a true planet), particularly near the survey’s detection limit. Exoplanet occurrence rate studies based on such a catalog must be corrected for completeness and reliability. The final Kepler data release, DR25, features a uniformly vetted planet candidate catalog and data products that facilitate corrections. We present a new probabilistic approach to the characterization of Kepler completeness and reliability, making full use of the Kepler DR25 products. We illustrate the impact of completeness and reliability corrections with a Poisson-likelihood occurrence rate method, using a recent stellar properties catalog that incorporates Gaia stellar radii and essentially uniform treatment of the stellar population. Correcting for reliability has a significant impact: the exoplanet occurrence rate for orbital period and radius within 20% of Earth’s around GK dwarf stars, corrected for reliability, is

, whereas not correcting results in

—correcting for reliability reduces this occurrence rate by more than a factor of two. We further show that using Gaia-based versus DR25 stellar properties impacts the same occurrence rate by a factor of two. We critically examine the the DR25 catalog and the assumptions behind our occurrence rate method. We propose several ways in which confidence in both the Kepler catalog and occurrence rate calculations can be improved. This work provides an example of how the community can use the DR25 completeness and reliability products.

Published: May 2020

We report experimental results on the stability of a magnetized laser-launched blast wave scaled to simulate a late-stage supernova remnant. We extend previous results to show the effect of a dynamically significant magnetic field on the spatial mode spectrum of the instability. We find that magnetic fields reduce instability growth, possibly influencing turbulent feedback to the interstellar medium.
Milky Way Subsystems from Globular Cluster Kinematics Using Gaia DR2 and HST Data
Authors: Bajkova A. T. , Carraro G. , Korchagin V. I , Budanova N. O. , Bobylev V. V.
Published: May 2020

We employ Gaia DR2 proper motions for 151 Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) from Vasiliev in tandem with distances and line-of-sight velocities to derive their kinematical properties. To assign clusters to the Milky Way thick disk, bulge, and halo, we follow the approach of Posti et al., who distinguished among different Galactic stellar components using stars’ orbits. In particular, we use the ratio L

z
/e, the Z projection of the angular momentum to the eccentricity, as a population tracer, which we complement with chemical abundances extracted from the literature and Monte Carlo simulations. We find that 20 GCs belong to the bar/bulge of the Milky Way, 35 exhibit disk properties, and 96 are members of the halo. Moreover, we find that halo GCs have close to zero rotational velocity with an average value

km s−1. On the other hand, the sample of clusters that belong to the thick disk possess a significant rotation with average rotational velocity 179 ± 6 km s−1. The 20 GCs orbiting within the bar/bulge region of the Milky Way have an average rotational velocity of 49 ± 11 km s−1.

Le New Public Management et la redéfinition de l’activité infirmière. De la fabrique des nouvelles élites professionnelles
Authors: Toffel Kevin , Tawfik Amal
Published: May 2020

Les travaux des sciences sociales soulignent généralement les effets néfastes des réformes du New Public Management qui impliqueraient en particulier une diminution de l’autonomie au travail sous le coup d’injonctions managériales exogènes aux logiques professionnelles. Considérer les professions comme des espaces de différenciation permet cependant de voir que ces effets s’exercent de façon très variable sur les individus en fonction des positions professionnelles occupées. Nous montrons que les infirmières ayant bénéficié de la récente académisation de la formation en Suisse tirent un certain profit de l’introduction de ces réformes. Bien qu’elle repose sur des savoirs scientifiques, cette formation est traversée de logiques gestionnaires dont le « management par la qualité » constitue la pierre angulaire. Par le truchement de l’académisation de la profession, les réformes du NPM contribuent ainsi à l’émergence de nouvelles « élites professionnelles » particulièrement adaptées aux demandes gestionnaires.
Roccagloriosa I
Authors: Gualtieri Maurizio , Fracchia Helena
Published: May 2020

L'esplorazione sistematica del sito di Roccagloriosa intrapresa nel 1976 si poneva corne obbiettivo fondamentale lo studio della cinta fortificata e la effettuazione di saggi di scavo che permettessero di determinare la cronologia e la consistenza dei nuclei abitativi sia all'esterno che all'interno del muro di fortificazione. I dati ceramici e l'evidenza strutturale ben presto confermarono l'esistenza di un esteso agglomerato, in parte fortificato ed organizzato in vari nuclei abitativi, inquadrabile nel corso del IV secolo a.C. Inoltre, la scoperta di un'area di necropoli “monumentale” in località La Scala, di cui la fascia superiore è stata esplorata “a tappeto” nella campagna del 1978, documentandone la pianta e la varietà dei tipi di sepolture, rimuoveva ogni dubbio circa l'appartenenza dell'insediamento ad una comunità lucana. A tale ricerca fu pure affiancata l'esplorazione sistematica del territorio circostante mediante ricognizione di superficie con lo scopo preciso di ricostruire il “paesaggio agrario” dell'area circostante il sito agglomerato.

Dopo uno studio topografico delle aree abitative poste immediatamente a ridosso della cresta dei Capitenali, effettuato nelle campagne 1982 e 1983, le operazioni di scavo sono State concentrate sul c.d. pianoro centrale, dove i primi saggi di scavo effettuati nel 1982 segnalavano l'esistenza di un nucleo abitativo includente edifici di notevole consistenza ed in ottimo stato di conservazione. Gli aspetti salienti del complesso di edifici sul pianoro centrale sono atti ad illustrare in dettaglio l'organizzazione ed il livello di strutturazione di un insediamento lucano in un momento cruciale del suo sviluppo.

A parte i dati fondamentali, e sostanzialmente nuovi, sulle strutture di abitazione e materiali associati, la metodologia di scavo che ha posto fra gli obbiettivi fondamentali anche la raccolta dei dati relativi alle attività economiche primarie, ha permesso di studiare aspetti della cultura materiale solo episodicamente o assai sommariamente documentati in siti coevi.

Published: May 2020

Sans céder au déterminisme technologique qui distingue l’espace social de son avatar numérique et sans souscrire par ailleurs aux discours triomphalistes et euphorisants sur la prétendue révolution 2.0, il devient difficile d’ignorer la place croissante des technologies de l’information et de la communication dans les économies en développement, en accord avec le tempo croissant des breaking news de l’information mondialisée (Michael Palmer, 2009). Mais si la production académique sur la pratique des TIC dans ces pays est de plus en plus abondante, elle se fait plus rare sur la thématique de ce numéro, centré sur les liens entre TIC et mobilisations. Il s’agit ici d’interroger la place et les usages des médias numériques (notamment internet et téléphonie mobile) dans le contexte de mouvements sociaux ou de protestations populaires.
Usages des TIC et appropriations des médias en période de crise sociale
Authors: Bérubé Farrah , Pulvar Olivier
Published: May 2020

Les crises contemporaines affectent la circulation de l’information, notamment dans leurs répercussions sociales. Les modes de diffusion classiques des médias de masse en côtoient d’autres, plus émergents, au centre desquels les réseaux électroniques occupent une position centrale. Dès lors, la pluralité des émetteurs de messages, la variété des contenus, la diversité des voies et moyens de la communication autour des phénomènes en cours s’ajoutent aux « sources autorisées ». Cette communication plurielle encourage des appropriations de contenus identitaires et des usages informatifs, symboliques, voire stratégiques des médias. Facteur parmi d’autres des mutations sociales et institutionnelles, l’effet des médias et/ou des TIC sur les réalités politiques et sociales est désormais admis. Plutôt que d’y observer l’action intrinsèque des techniques dans le sens du progrès des collectivités humaines, il faut voir dans les processus de communication, un indicateur des mutations en cours. Les travaux menés au Mexique et aux Antilles dans cette perspective permettent de revisiter la question du rôle des médias et des TIC dans ces sociétés, au-delà de l’approche par les effets privilégiée jusque-là. Les médias agissent sur les cultures et les identités au moins autant que ces dernières en réinterprètent les messages pour les faire fonctionner dans un espace social donné. Aussi, s’interroger sur la place concrète des médias et des TIC dans les mobilisations collectives, soulève une autre question : comment repérer et caractériser les nouvelles formes collectives de traitement de l’information, d’implication, de participation et de mobilisation ?

The discourse of understanding how things work, why they work the way they are, and what has to be done in order to improve how things are is centered on theories. Theories are a set of propositions that specify reasonable relationships between characteristics of a phenomenon that can be measured and defined. Theories are crucial in development of cultural heritage and its allied functions such as preservation. Despite a significant improvement in execution of preservation functions, the more incumbent challenge observed in literature is the lack of understanding of the meaning, principles, and application of theories in preservation in the ESARBICA. This chapter unpacks the theories of preservation through establishing the definitions of preservation, determining principles and uncertainties experienced, and identifying interrelated concepts of relationships and disciplines that contribute to preservation. The chapter concludes by offering a perspective for redefining a framework for preservation in libraries and archives in ESARBICA.
Performance Improvement
Authors: Van Tiem Darlene M , Burns Nancy Crain
Published: May 2020

The human performance technology model represents the processes used by performance improvement practitioners while accomplishing their results. Performance improvement efforts begin with a performance analysis or need or opportunity; intervention selection, design, and development; intervention implementation and maintenance; and evaluation. This description seems daunting and tedious, but it is flexible. It is a guide with adaptations. The process is not closed with feedback all along enabling corrections and changes based on findings and new information. The process is not lock-step and can have adjustments as appropriate. This case studies the HTP model.
Performance-Driven Project Management in Cyprus
Authors: Kelly Steven John , Novak M. Mari
Published: May 2020

The training and consultation effort, performance-driven project management for the Turkish Cypriot community in Northern Cyprus, was funded because implementation of project plans was not satisfactory. The community was faced with considerable challenge. Non-performance was an issue for all stakeholders, directly affecting incomes, access, quality of life. Over nine months the result was upgraded manager/consultant project management skills. Both quality of project design and implementation of projects radically improved. Project results closed the fundamental performance gaps, with a remarkable 80% of the projects completed within timeframe and budget. These included retail sales increases, higher certification scores, new product/service launches, and cost savings. The level of understanding of organizational project dynamics was raised significantly, along with the skills needed to manage projects with a performance-driven approach. This sustained effort was evaluated in the design and early stages of implementation of the second wave of projects.
Improving School Systems
Authors: Castilleja Joseph R.
Published: May 2020

Since the start of the United States' No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 (NCLB), and now the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), schools that underperform have been under significant pressure to improve academic achievement. The responsibility for such improvement is placed on school leadership, namely school principals. The endeavor of school improvement takes on many forms since the process varies from one U.S. state to another, meaning that school “turnaround” is becoming a specialization within the work that a principal is already expected to perform. Principals of underperforming schools must therefore familiarize themselves with the specialized roles and responsibilities of the “turnaround principal” to yield results in their own schools. This case study takes a human performance technology approach to understand how one school successfully improved on-time graduation rates (i.e., within four years) by bringing a turnaround principal on board, then later sustaining results by hiring a permanent sustainment principal.
Use of On-Line Discussion Forums for Training
Authors: Czeropski Sue
Published: May 2020

There is evidence that corporations are currently using e-learning for corporate training. Discussion forums in academia, particularly higher ed, are known to be an effective learning strategy that is widely used across many universities. Adoption of using discussion forums in Corporate America has been slow. Collaboration and discussions are key for the learner's journey, yet not many training initiatives include the use of discussion forums. Why are companies not using discussion forums? What is the resistance behind why discussion forums are not incorporated into training? A study was conducted at Jones Company (pseudonym) to understand the resistance from three levels of employees: the executive, manager, and the employee.
Member Value?
Authors: Carter Elizabeth A.
Published: May 2020

Imagine an organization where every employee/member/student is fully engaged, working to full potential, adding personal and professional value. How does that happen? It happens through deliberate engagement tools that allow individuals to come together with common interests and goals. The goal is to elevate the skills of the individuals to the point of personal and professional growth. This case study describes an educational environment that is very beneficial in driving development, performance improvement, engagement, and value at a low cost.

Authors: Sims Cynthia M. , Carter Angela D. , De Peralta Arelis Moore , Höfrová Alena , Brown III Stephen W.
Published: May 2020

A new president and provost at the University of the Southeast (pseudonym) recognized the high rate of attrition among female and minority faculty and implemented a faculty mentoring and leadership development program to improve gender equity in a large higher education institution in the US. In total, 28 tenured faculty of which 60% were women participated in this 9-month program. The authors designed this program to be an organizational change intervention; hence, a human performance technology framework was used to design and evaluate this mentoring and leadership development program, along with a logic model, and Kirkpatrick's four levels of evaluation. This mixed method study included pre- and post-surveys (T1, n = 26; T2, n = 14) to determine participant satisfaction and knowledge gained and assessed behavior change through participants' interviews (n=18). Outcomes determined that human performance technology, a logic model, and Kirkpatrick's evaluation approach were useful methods to design and assess this program.
A Leadership Coaching Case Study
Authors: Lazar John B.
Published: May 2020

Barbara, Manager of Talent Development for a business-to-business sales operations outsourcing company, was badly underperforming. Her manager had received complaints about the quality of her customer service and collaboration with peers. Her manager endorsed coaching to improve critical skills and related performance. Barbara enthusiastically accepted the chance to be coached. Client and coach co-designed an individual development plan with goals. The client completed self-assessments and the coach structured 360 interviews and debriefed the data. Client and coach refined the development plan and goals. Coaching calls were held regularly, with learning assignments made and regular reviews done for progress, challenges, and lessons learned. Overall, the client progressed in several emotional intelligence skills, delivered better customer service, and collaborated better. When reassigned to an individual contributor role, she adapted well, led, and contributed to two critical projects.
Applying Appreciative Inquiry, Performance Improvement, and Positive Psychology
Authors: Burns Nancy Crain
Published: May 2020

As a member of multiple organizations, one may find that there are relationships and situations that span those organizations. When reviewing the intersection of those relationship/situations, it is a good idea to use innovative principles and practices of performance improvement to offer recommendations. This case study describes the approach to reach a positive recommendation for a non-profit, faith-based organization. By using concepts of appreciative inquiry, the ten principles of human performance improvement (ISPI), and positive psychology as described in Flow by (Csikszentmihalyi in 1990, the practitioner was able to “step back” and view the big picture. The situation required reviewing whether the church daycare could continue to sustain operations despite a challenging financial outlook. Some members of the church council were concerned about the financial reports while others thought that the daycare was a valuable ministry that should be continued. The council president appointed a task force to review viability of the daycare organization.
Root Solution
Authors: Gu George Limin , Ding Hui
Published: May 2020

There are three kinds of solutions to business problems: symptom solution, pattern solution, and root solution. Symptom is simply visible phenomena; they are not problems; therefore, symptom solution is only temporary, such as adding cold water to a boiled water. Pattern solution looks alright, but it is not sustainable, costly, and sometimes risky; therefore, it also won't help the business in the long run, such as adding cold water through a thin pipe to the same boiled water. Root solution is powerfully simple, because it dives to the bottom of the issue, such as turning the stove off. Obviously, businesses need to seek root solutions. For years, Company Q has been trying to seek the “right” answers to manage the company, but facts have always left them disappointed, until they found out that the GPS-IE® Management Improvement System is truly systematic, logic- and result-driven, and sustainable.
Negotiating Intersectionality
Authors: White Angela , DeCuir-Gunby Jessica T. , Petty Cailisha
Published: May 2020

This concurrent mixed methods study sought to unveil how historically Black colleges and universities assist African American women with negotiating intersectional experiences within science disciplines. The authors sought to determine the relationship(s) between racial identity, science identity, and science self-efficacy beliefs of African American science students enrolled at HBCUs. The quantitative data revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between science self-efficacy and science identity for women and men. While the quantitative data indicated that racial identity (assimilation) is positively correlated to science identity for the women, the same relationship was not significant for the men. The findings indicated that science identity significantly predicted college science achievement for men but not women.

Successful STEM Women of Color Must Network Differently
Authors: Obare Sherine O.
Published: May 2020

Overcoming barriers for women of color in STEM can be eased not only by what you know, but rather by who you know. Women are always encouraged to network, but often are not given the full instructions on what the outcome of the network could or should be. Seldom are they mentored to network in ways that they are viewed as contributors who bring impact and value to the discipline. The purpose of this chapter is to provide some guidelines from lessons learned about networking not only through the author's experience as a faculty member moving through the ranks, but as a university administrator, and a leader in a national organization. The chapter will have examples of various ways that women of color can contribute through networking to create opportunities to make significant impact to their discipline. The chapter will also reference some key books and articles that share some of the most pertinent work being done.
Circular Economy
Authors: Saiz-Alvarez José Manuel
Published: May 2020

Humankind wastes resources in a way that is unsustainable over time, which makes it necessary and desirable to implement waste recycling policies that benefit all of humanity. The arrival of the circular economy is strengthening the environmental awareness of the population as well as more efficient use of scarce resources on the planet. In addition to the circular economy, this chapter briefly analyzes the different models that currently exist to combat the deterioration of the environment, since it is the responsibility of current generations to leave a better world for future generations.
