ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges, where ICT has become a basic need for humanity, in this context the capacities of teachers to face changes were questioned. It has a mixed pre-experimental methodology, 49 teachers participated and a questionnaire, rubric and Pre-Test/Post Test were applied, with values of 0.890;0.91, Cronbach's 0.97. The findings showed that the dimensions, communication, content creation, were very high, while the security and problem-solving dimension turned out to be good. The research obtained significant results for the development of digital skills of teachers in Piura. © GKA Ediciones, authors.
ABSTRACT
PurposeMany organizations failed to generate profits after investing considerable money and time in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This study, therefore, sought to identify the challenges encountered by pharmaceutical firms during the post-implementation of ERP systems.Design/methodology/approachA case-based study followed by general survey-based research was carried out in pharmaceutical firms to determine the critical post-implementation challenges of ERP systems. DANP (DEMATEL-based ANP) and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test were used to find the causal/critical challenges and rank them.FindingsAfter analyzing a pharmaceutical case company and conducting a general survey among pharmaceutical companies, statistical analysis was performed to identify the most significant challenges, namely, "Inefficient troubleshooting mechanism”, "Lack of training during post-implementation stage” and "Difficulty in identifying invalid data when entered into the ERP system”. Furthermore, organization-wide challenges are considered to be the most important.Practical implicationsThe paper identifies the challenges faced during the post-implementation phase of ERP systems. This work brings out the issues with ERP systems' performance after their implementation, which is related to the quality of the ERP systems. This work will support the risk identification and mitigation during ERP implementation to eradicate the problems after its implementation. This work may trigger the ERP system developers to improve its features and performance for better manufacturing and supply chain management system in pharmaceutical firms.Originality/valueThis study is uniquely conducted in pharmaceutical firms to study the benefits and challenges of adopted ERP systems. A pilot case study served as the foundation for the generalizability of other pharmaceutical firms' findings through a non-parametric test.
ABSTRACT
Maintenance, Reliability and Troubleshooting in Rotating Machinery Editor: Robert X. Perez Publisher: Wiley Rotating machinery represents a broad category of equipment, which includes pumps, compressors, fans, gas turbines, electric motors, internal combustion engines and other equipment that are critical to the efficient operation of process facilities around the world. Visitors from both the lubricant community and end-user OEMs will find a comprehensive showcase of all lubricant technologies, including finished lubricants, additives, process equipment and machinery, condition monitoring, automation systems, testing and analysis, data technologies, lubricant manufacturing equipment, end-user application systems and more. Chaired by Sharbel Luzuriaga of Kline on day one and Boris Zhmud of Bind Lubricants on day two, the 2021 event held presentations including The Road to Sustainable Mobility: Implications for the Finished Lubricant Market, Group I Replacement Strategies: The Role of Naphthenics and Base Oil Markets Through the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond, as well as a lively panel discussion entitled An Internal Examination of the 2021 European Base Oils & Lubricants Industry.
ABSTRACT
Whether you are teaching remotely, hybrid, face-to-face, or in some kind of mashup of these different instructional delivery modes, you are likely still feeling the impact of the increased role of technology in education since the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. Computer science education is about learning to build, test, and troubleshoot computer-based software and hardware products and solutions such as: computer code, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) systems, virtual / augmented reality (VR/AR) systems, networking, and systems security. In brief, teacher PCK comprises (1) knowledge of subject matter such as concepts, vocabulary, algorithms, frameworks, theories, etc.;subject matter knowledge is distinct for all subjects and varies by grade level;(2) knowledge of pedagogy, including understandings about how people learn and expertise in instructional strategies/models;(3) knowledge of students including developmental levels, prior knowledge, expected preconceptions, as well as learning strategies that will meet their learning needs and abilities;and (4) knowledge of context such as school culture, setting, politics, and the availability of resources, as well as knowledge of curriculum and assessment (Cochran, DeRuiter, and King 1993;Shulman 1986). A similar impact on teaching can be expected when content standards change for a grade level.

The original article has been withdrawn by agreement among the authors, the Journal Editor-in-Chief Graham Davies and John Wiley & Sons Inc. The article was published in error.

Since automation of systems has become increasingly complex and ubiquitous, troubleshooting skills are crucial to maintain safety and security in a variety of contexts. The planned study aims at examining troubleshooting strategies and how to induce them by means of simple visual aids and concise instructions. To this end, a computerized task consisting of network troubleshooting problems will be employed in an experimental study with repeated measures. Indicators of strategy use and performance will be tested for their relation to availability and differential use of visual aids, to cognitive styles that affect how individuals deal with challenges or system information, and to cognitive processes that are involved in metacognition and executive function. The planned research is expected to help gain insights into the cognitive determinants of troubleshooting, reverse engineering, and their links to computational thinking.

ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected shared resource lab (SRL) staff in-person availability at institutions globally. This article discusses the challenges of ensuring reliable instrument performance and quality data output while facility staff and external service provider on-site presence is severely limited. Solutions revolve around the adoption of remote monitoring and troubleshooting platforms, provision of self-service troubleshooting resources specific to facility instruments and workflows, development of an assistance contact policy, and ensuring efficiency of limited in-person staff time. These solutions employ software and hardware tools that are already in use or readily available in the SRL community, such as remote instrument access tools, video hosting and conferencing platforms, and ISAC shared resources. © 2020 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry.
