Sozialpartnerschaft unter Spannung

Dieser Beitrag untersucht anhand von Pressemitteilungen, Gastbeiträgen der Vorsitzenden und Presseinterviews, wie die Tarifparteien der deutschen Metall- und Elektroindustrie, Gesamtmetall und IG Metall, die Corona-Krise in der Öffentlichkeit darstellten. Die mit dieser Untersuchung eingenommene Framing-Perspektive verspricht Aufschluss darüber, wie die Tarifparteien die Handlungsfähigkeit der Sozialpartnerschaft einschätzen und welche Prioritäten sie setzen. Die Sozialpartnerschaft steht auch in den Kernbereichen des deutschen Wirtschaftsmodells in zunehmendem Maße unter Druck. Das spiegelt sich auch in unserer Analyse wider. Während auf den ersten Blick in der Beschreibung der Krise und dem Ruf nach staatlichen Hilfen zur Unterstützung der Wirtschaft und Sicherung der Beschäftigten eine Interessenkoalition besteht, ist diese genauer betrachtet durch ein starkes Ungleichgewicht gekennzeichnet. Nicht nur handelt es sich um rein strategische Kooperation bei spezifischen Themen (Autoprämie, Kurzarbeitergeld). Die Arbeitgeberseite besteht außerdem auf Lohnzurückhaltung und lässt die gewerkschaftlichen Aufrufe zur weiter reichenden gemeinsamen Verantwortungsübernahme unbeantwortet. Insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund weiterer Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf den Arbeitsmarkt wird so die gewerkschaftliche Verhandlungsmacht geschwächt und die Sozialpartnerschaft gerät weiter unter Druck.Alternate :This paper examines how the collective bargaining parties of the German metal and electrotechnical industry, Gesamtmetall and IG Metall, portrayed the Corona crisis in the public sphere. The empirical basis consists of press releases, guest contributions by the chairpersons and press interviews. The framing perspective adopted by this study promises to shed light on how the collective bargaining parties assess the agency of social partnership and what priorities they set. Social partnership is generally coming under increasing pressure even in the core areas of the German economic model. This is also reflected in our analysis: While at first glance there is a coalition of interests in the description of the crisis and the call for state aid to support the economy and provide employement security, a closer look reveals a strong imbalance. Not only is this common interest restricted to purely strategic cooperation on specific issues. What is more, the employer side insists on wage restraint and leaves unanswered the trade unionsʼ calls for joint assumption of social responsibility. Particularly against the backdrop of further effects of the pandemic on the labor market, this weakens the unionsʼ bargaining power and puts further pressure on the institutional pattern of social partnership.

The Impact of Oversized Electrical Equipments on Energy Management of Thailand Department Stores

Department stores are constantly adapting and modernizing to fit new lifestyles. Everyone is resting and working outside the home all day after COVID. The rate of electricity consumption increases according to the rate of service users. Most of the electricity is for air conditioning or kitchen appliances to cook. Electrical installation standards for The Engineering Institute of Thailand Under H.M., the King's Patronage must be followed when designing and choosing electrical equipment for shopping malls, large buildings, and extra-large buildings. The Provincial Electricity Authority, the Metropolitan Electricity Authority, the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning, faculty members, designers, supervisors, and contractors put together these standards. The results of the research, engineers can come to the conclusion that the size of electrical equipment can be reduced by up to 4 sizes, or 54% if a single transformer is used in a department store, and by 3 sizes, or 50% if an interchangeable transformer redundancy is used in department stores. The advantages are energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness for initial investment, and cost-effectiveness in managing and maintaining electrical systems to ensure their safety, stability, and economic viability. © 2022 Seventh Sense Research Group®

Using Augmented Reality to Reinforce the Learning of Installation of Electrical Equipment and Machines

The educational level of technical high schools has been affected by the current state of emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, due to the lack of educational resources for subjects that require laboratory practice. The objective of the research is to describe a pedagogical strategy using interactive support material focused on augmented reality for equipment installations and electrical machines learning, in order to supply the lack of laboratories. The research carried out surveys to seven teachers, who teach practical subjects, and evaluations to 60 students who underwent the intervention with the application of augmented reality. The results of the pre-test and post-test were analyzed to verify the stated objectives, demonstrating that there are motivating results with the application of two tools Mywebar and Assemblr in the performance of the classes, affirming that the augmented reality tool impacts and motivates the teaching-learning process in the technical area in the professional figure of installations, equipment and electrical machines in a favorable way. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Visualizing electrical energy consumption with virtual augmented technology and the internet of things

Power consumption was considered one of the major expenses in households and small offices in the COVID pandemic situation. The proposed method employs virtual augmented technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) to provide a visual solution for monitoring the power consumption of electrical equipment. The IoT sensors are linked via mobile phones or portable communication devices. For the proposed work, the energy sensor devices are installed on the 4 single-phase electrical devices in the office room equipment. That equipment’s electrical consumption was saved, processed through the ESP8266 board, and then transmitted through WiFi to collect data on the cloud server. The saved electrical energy data in the dashboard can be displayed as a visual comparison with AR technology by using the mobile phone camera to scan the marker of each electrical device. The experimental results show that the value of electrical energy is accurate, and the data values can be used to manage the power consumption of electrical equipment.

Path Selection and Optimization of Chinese Manufacturing Industry Participating in Global Value Chain Reconstruction

This paper focuses on the path of China’s participation in global value chain reconstruction and concludes three ways to reconstruct the global value chain: embedding in the global value chain, reconstructing the national value chain, and leading the regional value chain. Based on the value-added accounting system and the latest statistics of the TiVA database, we construct an index system for the path selection of global value chain reconstruction and put forward a more suitable path for different manufacturing industries in China. According to the VRCA index and ranking of each type of manufacturing industry, our study concludes that: transportation equipment manufacturing tends to embed in global value chains;textiles, clothing, leather, and related manufacturing;wood products, paper products, and printing;chemical and non-metallic mineral products;base metals and metal products;computer, electronic, and electrical equipment manufacturing;machinery and equipment manufacturing;and other manufacturing industries tend to dominate the regional value chains;and food and beverage manufacturing and tobacco industries tend to restructure national value chains. Finally, our paper gives suggestions and prospects for path upgrading;promoting the integrated development of e-commerce and the manufacturing industry can enhance the competitive advantages of China’s manufacturing industry and achieve path upgrading and optimization. Furthermore, the two-way nesting of the “Belt and Road” regional value chain and global value chain can help China’s manufacturing industry eliminate the dilemma of low-end lock-in and upgrade from the original low-end dependent embedding mode to the middle high-end hub embedding mode.
