It evaluates the current state of VR systems in military and civilian applications, highlighting their limitations in cost, flexibility, and technical requirements. Three use cases are proposed for CBRN training, focusing on decision-making processes and operational scenarios for urban search and rescue and reconnaissance missions.#isss2016 Berlin - Suehye Lee - Abstract expression capability with empirical...

The document discusses the relationship between kinesthetic learning and analogical reasoning, proposing that hands-on experiences, such as grasping clay, enhance creativity and understanding of philosophical concepts like 'theoria, praxis, techne.' Preliminary experiments indicate that 'learning-by-doing' could be a valuable approach to improving analogical reasoning skills, though further research is required. The study aims to explore how this method can aid in better system design and understanding of abstract concepts.#ISSS2015 Berlin - Gilbert et al - Understanding Systems Engineering Project ...

The document outlines a critical realist exploratory case study examining how complexity in organizational structures impacts systems engineers' ability to meet cost and time delivery expectations. It discusses the traditional and complex adaptive systems (CAS) views of project management and how staff circulation and software sprints were analyzed within this context. Key findings include the impact of staff rotation on productivity, the inadequacies of traditional metrics, and the necessity for a more integrated approach to project management tools like Jira and Primavera.#isss2015 Berlin - Skytt et al - Interdisciplinary cooperation and ssytems mo...

The document discusses the necessity of interdisciplinary cooperation and systems modeling to address large-scale environmental issues, particularly in the context of the Anthropocene. It uses the example of J辰mtland County in Sweden to explore sustainability through modeling material and energy flows. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of clear problem formulation and decision-making processes in governing complex systems effectively.ISSS2017 Vienna - Laszlo - Leadership and Systemic Innovation

Political polarization is the process by which political opinions, beliefs, and affiliations become more extreme and divided, often resulting in strong partisan loyalty and hostility toward opposing viewpoints. This division can affect public discourse, policymaking, and social relationships, making collaboration and consensus more challenging.

The Government of India Act, 1935 was a compromise document that attempted to balance British control with Indian aspirations for autonomy. While it introduced several modern governance features like federalism, provincial autonomy, and bicameralism, its undemocratic nature, limited franchise, and excessive central control made it unacceptable to Indian political movements.
It ultimately failed to satisfy the democratic aspirations of the Indian people, but it laid important groundwork for post-independence constitutional frameworks in both India and Pakistan.Itinerary ROHIS SMUNIC diperlukan untuk acara.pptx
