Team Working - Science topic

Here are key strategies for improving communication in such environments:

Establish clear communication protocols

- Define communication channels: Clearly define the platforms that will be used for different types of communication (e.g., email for non-urgent issues, instant messaging for quick inquiries) to prevent misunderstandings.

- Implement routine meetings to discuss progress and challenges, and ensure that all team members are able to participate regardless of their location.

- Establish clear guidelines for how quickly team members should respond to communications based on different time zones.

Promote cultural awareness

- Cultural sensitivity training: Provide training to help team members understand and respect cultural differences, which can significantly impact communication styles and expectations.

- Adapt communication styles: Be aware of how different cultures perceive directness or subtlety in communication. Adjust your approach accordingly to promote inclusion and understanding.

Encourage open dialogue

- Promote active listening: Encourage team members to actively listen during discussions, and ensure they fully understand the information shared.

- Regularly seek feedback: Create a culture where feedback is welcomed and sought. This helps identify communication issues early and promotes continuous improvement.

- Leverage effective tools

- Leverage collaboration platforms: Use integrated tools like Slack, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams that facilitate messaging, video calling, and file sharing in one place. This reduces context switching and promotes real-time collaboration.

- Build trust and relationships

- Schedule face-to-face interactions: Whenever possible, schedule video calls to build personal connections between team members. This can foster trust and understanding.

- Encourage inclusivity in decision-making: Involve all team members in important discussions or decisions to foster a sense of belonging and cohesion within the team.

- Promote continuous learning

- Encourage continuous development: Invest in training programs that focus on effective communication skills and cultural intelligence to help team members navigate cross-cultural interactions more effectively.

By implementing these strategies, organizations can create a more effective communication framework that not only bridges cultural gaps but also enhances team dynamics and overall productivity.

I think, the additional benefits of BIM-based technologies for contractors can be obtained with the use of automated technology of construction and reconstruction management AT "Building Manager".

AT "Building Manager" is not one software product, but a system of interconnected software products of different developers, designed to achieve a main goal:

The creation of this automated technology required considerable efforts from developers of all software complexes included in AT, from the development and coordination of information exchange protocols to the development of special software.

Joint operation of software complexes of different purposes within the framework of a single system not only systematised all information flows against the background of significant reduction of labour intensity of separate processes (for example: calculation of estimates or formation of network organisational and technological model of construction for calculations of calendar plans) with the significant increase of information reliability level, but also has opened such opportunities, which were unavailable when using these software complexes separately.

Such capabilities include 4D-visualisation of the construction process (three-dimensional display of the construction object on any day of the calendar plan with or without the fact of work execution).

Inclusion or not of different software complexes in AT "Building Manager" is not regulated by any contract between developers, but is determined by functional capabilities of software products to provide import and export of information with the use of information exchange protocols accepted in AT "Building Manager".

S. Béatrice Marianne Ewalds-Kvist This helps me a lot. Thank you very much.

Virtual team are activities meant to build a team and create social space. The lessons are:

1) Knowledge transfer

2) Enhancement of productivity

3) A means of bridging the gap between theory and practice in petroleum activities.

Dear Professor,

Below is a related article.

Sashenka Mazariegos Don't mention it. It is my pleasure -:)

I believe that sustainable development is a complex concept that involves collaboration and cooperation between stakeholders from various sectors and disciplines. It requires a holistic approach that takes into account the interests of all stakeholders and the needs of the environment. In order to achieve sustainable development, there must be a balance between environmental, social and economic concerns. Teamwork is essential for successful sustainable development initiatives as it allows for the sharing of knowledge and resources, and encourages an open dialogue between stakeholders. Additionally, sustainable development requires a long-term view, which can be achieved through a commitment to understanding the interrelationships of environmental, social and economic systems. It is also important to consider the potential benefits and implications of any proposed development, as well as the interests of the stakeholders involved. Ultimately, sustainable development requires a collaborative effort from all stakeholders and a commitment to working towards a shared vision of a more sustainable future.

Thanks Rafael. I am working for Orange (telco).

Thanx, Chaimaa, but media storms have nothing in common with weather conditions. Media storms taking place in media - online, on the pages of newspapers, and on TV screens.

Yes

I'm interested. We can do a review in NORMs; (Whatever it's type)

Everyone will do a task in it.

Those who are steady can contact with me through the email:

The number of co-authors on a scientific paper depends on the different scientists that have directly been involved with the work. In a single author paper then it’s clear that the whole work has been carried out by that author. However very often the team leader has also his/her name on the paper in the case the research was sponsored by his/her grant or when the subject of research is part of his/her own project and ideas. Should this research being entirely supported by the grant of the author then it’s quite legitimate that he/she will be the only author of the work to be published.

Inspiring and motivated discusion

Due to mutations in the virus, the effectiveness of the vaccines is unclear

Satyam Majergi - a postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern Institute says we have studied the effect of internal team relationships on team sports results. There were two aspects to measure these relationships: the first was a quantitative aspect represented by the number of times two teammates cooperated, and the second was a qualitative aspect that focused on the "prior joint success" among the team members, which helped us to know whether the teamwork succeeded or failed. In other words, we tried to study the chances of success of a team whose members have previous common experiences in the event that they encounter another team that includes highly skilled players.

Very nice and polite way to encourage the team dear Arun K V

Really nice and effective way you proposed here.

Thank you for your valuable opinion

Dear Dr. Len Leonid Mizrah ,

Thank you for your comment, it is extremely relevant in our time. To paraphrase your words, we need many teams of creative people “who are also united in their altruistic strive to enrich sciences”. The current situation we are experiencing with the novel coronavirus 2 is the best example of why we need it, however, I agree with you that it is very difficult.

Interesting.

Adrian Salavaty ,

Makes sense. Thanks for letting me know.

I hope followers of this discussion forum check your study and package,

which address an interesting topic in network analysis. Let's keep in touch!

Dear Prof. B. T. Sayed, teamwork is very valuable.

I used to work for the oil industry in my country. Teamwork was the only way to successfully perform any activity, but when teamwork culture was dismantled upon political madness, it was the very end of the company.

Hi Hassan,

I'd love to hear more about your activities, especially as they relate to social cohesion. This is a topic we (and I) work on quite a bit.

I made the survey.

Influence and train the individual to play task roles and maintenance roles, and not to play blocking roles.

Task roles (such as Initiator-contributor, Information seeker, Information giver,

Evaluator, and Summarizer) are roles which are concerned with getting the group work done. A task role includes activities of a group member helping the group reach its goal. Maintenance roles (such as Harmonizer, Encourager, Gatekeeper, and Compromiser) are roles which are concerned with creating and maintaining the interpersonal relationships within group members. A maintenance role includes supportive and nurturing activities of a group member helping the group members feel good. Blocking roles (such as Dominator, Blocker, Aggressor, and Disruptor) are concerned with preventing the group from achieving its goal. These roles are dysfunctional. A blocking role includes activities of a group member which focus on his or her own well-being, often at the expense of other group members, disturbing the group reach its goal.

Amir - the first author is usually the corresponding author. If a PhD student is submitting their own work then, as with all my PhD students, they are the 'lead' and first author in the article - and that should make them the corresponding author by default. I'm aware that it might be a different arrangement in different parts of the world but, at the end of the day, that is (to me) the fairest and most ethical arrangement. No matter how much support a PhD student receives from the supervision team - it is still their project and their data.

Hi Monica

A cursory view of issues highlightedabove, I see all your problems are related to processes. All restaurants work on processes.

Your problems are related to;

- poorly designed processes or

- poorly trained employees working on those processes or

- both

Literature, survey and analysis will not help in either in productivity or efficiency or customer satisfaction.

Going further on the fact highlighted by you that your restaurant rank top in the casual dining category, your production processes are matured.

The problem could be in other support processes. Analyse redesign or retrain employees.

Suggestion: In operation area, always select employees who ‘need’ job than those who ‘want’ a career.

Clearly need and want are differentiators in service commitment from employees. Am not against career.?!

students must be inculcated to be a part of such associations which can develop them professionally. universities should play a role to do this job and encourage students to affiliate in these sort of unions and organizations.

Hello Sonja,

From your work page, note that: (a) Group 21 appears only on the "> 2" side of the display, but not on the "50%" side; (b) the "> 2" should be ">= 2".

As is, (and discounting group 21 because it appears only once), you have:

15 duplicated sets (14 groups met both criteria; 1 group met neither)

2 sets that met the 50% but did not meet the at least 2 criterion

4 sets that met the at least 2 criterion but did not meet the 50% criterion

So, indeed, the groups are pretty much overlapping (15 of 21). All you'd be able to do with independent groups is compare the 2 sets (meeting only 50%) to the 4 sets (meeting only at least 2 criterion), but that seems somewhat futile, given the small numbers of groups.

The only scenario I can envision that allows a "50%" case to be met, but not the "two or more members" case to be met is that you have variable group sizes, and at least one had only two (2) members.

What you should probably do, if that is indeed the case, and your goal is to maximize the number of groups for which you can use data is modify your rule to:

"50% of the group OR at least 2 members"

Good luck with your work.

Indeed - you can add it as a work you translated, but not authored.

Still - definitely add it to your CV, just not in the capacity of author :)

My pleasure Julius

This is a wonderful question. I typically use focused mentoring within an inter professional team. The interprofessional team research provides a setting where students, fellows, and other trainees gain first hand experience in needed skills such as building and engaging team members, holding colleagues accountable for promised work, negotiating roles and responsibilities on a project, presentation, or paper, and handling disciplinary differences in academic support for team science, culture and communication patterns, and measures of success, .

As challenges emerge, I try to provide opportunities for discussion of both the rewards and challenges of interprofessional team work. More recently, I have been interested in developing resources for trainees in the most important skills needed for interprofessional teams.

Looking for suggestions on resouces for interprofessional training, including any curriculum development on training in interprofessional team research and any program that involve explicit training in the important knowledge and skill domains needed for interprofessional team research.

I prefer working in a team,Because of good amount of expernce is getting.

May I know whether you have a specific criteria for me to qualify to answer the survey?

Dear Dr. Gh. Javan-Doloei , Dear all,

I completely agree with you Dear Dr. Gh. Javan-Doloei . A harmonious team is an ultimate pleasure.

Best regards.

There is no one word answer to this question. It depends on the tasks and their impact on the project, along with various other variables.

The idea is to identify the reason for the lack of desire to contribute towards the project and work from there.

Earl Nightangale’s definition is the best one in my opinion, “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy idea.“

Success is not then achievement but the feeling while chasing a goal.

Hello,

what you need to test is the reliability of your scales. I see this as a minimum. In case you retrieve on well-established scales, you do not necessarily need to test fo validity. However, if you mixed up items to form a scale, then this is also a must.

I need more details

Yes, we can. Can you please send me the details and what the collaboration is all about and my roles in the team work. Thanks and warm regards.

Sustainability of pasture-based livestock farming systems in the European Mediterranean context: Synergies and trade-offs☆

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.livsci.2011.03.018Get rights and content

Abstract : The sustainability of livestock farming systems (LFS) in relation to global concerns about climate change, population dynamics and the quality of the agro-ecosystem services that are provided to society and their trade-offs has become a fundamental issue for public and scientific debate. However, LFS differ widely in terms of the use of resources, degree of intensification, species and orientation of production, local/regional socio-economic and market context, cultural roles, etc. Therefore, we need to disaggregate livestock farming systems when analysing any aspect of sustainability.

This paper discusses low-input pasture-based farming systems (meat sheep and beef cattle) located in mountainous and other less favoured areas of the European Mediterranean basin. We first describe their recent evolution in terms of the level of intensification and structural, economic, social and environmental factors at the farm level, paying special attention to critical points of sustainability. Despite the diversity encountered, there are some common factors that threaten their future, such as an excessive dependency on premiums, the lack of generational turnover due to a number of increasingly influential social factors and a continuous process of abandonment of large marginal areas and concentration in more favourable areas. Next, we depict some relevant synergies and trade-offs between a number of factors that we have previously described, taking into account the wider socio-economic environment in which farms operate. Pasture-based LFS can satisfy societal demands (for public goods such as landscape and biodiversity or ethical concerns about food production) and are less vulnerable to market changes. However, they are not paid for the environmental services they deliver, they suffer displacement by other economic activities, and they are very sensitive to climate change scenarios. We also point out a number of options for designing and implementing more sustainable pasture-based LFS under very uncertain circumstances; the concepts of resilience, adaptive capacity and self-sufficiency are discussed within this context. Finally, we summarise some areas for future research: –valuation and integration of positive externalities of pasture-based LFS in an analytical sustainability frameworks and management tools, –assessment of the diversity of systems, the impact they generate and the public goods they deliver, –analysis of complex relationships between intensification of production, dependence on off-farm/on-farm inputs, productivity and working conditions, –consideration of the social factors that determine continuity and working conditions, –and the necessity of performing dynamic studies that allow the understanding and anticipation of change.

Contribution of organic farming to increase sustainability of Mediterranean small ruminants livestock systems,ttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0301-6226(02)00316-0Get rights and content

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to evaluate the feasibility and constraints of organic farming to increase the sustainability of Mediterranean small ruminant livestock systems. The paper analyzes the factors affecting sustainability of small ruminant livestock systems in the Mediterranean basin, such as seasonal forage availability or suboptimal pasture utilisation due to overgrazing but also the factor of undergrazing. The paper considers how the application of practices of organic farming may contribute to promoting sustainable land use and improving environment conservation, animal welfare, and product quality. Also the prospects of new information-based technologies, like geographic information systems and global positioning systems, to improve sustainability are presented. A model of pasture-based dairy sheep production system is proposed, with special emphasis on the organisation of a farm forage system to meet animal nutritional requirement. Some options for an integrated strategy for the control of parasitic disease in small ruminant production systems are discussed. These are based on a combination of general prevention methods (i.e. risk control and identification), grazing management (i.e. multifunctional grassland management), nonchemical treatments (i.e. homeopathic herbal preparations) and novel approaches (i.e. biological control and bioactive forages). Comparative effects of phytotherapy and conventional treatment on dairy sheep helminthic disease and on metabolic status and animal welfare are presented.

The prospects of organic farming are of particular interest for the less favoured Mediterranean areas, where it may contribute to the safeguard of agricultural functions, like care and preservation of landscape, and safeguarding of rural villages with positive effects on the quality of life in rural communities. Some activities would be particularly appropriate in natural parks, where small ruminants and other domestic animals interact with wildlife and where biodiversity must be preserved.

For positive results a new collaborative decision-making process is required between rural and urban communities, businesses and government. In addition, strong supports from scientific research and the extension services are needed to correct and fully utilize new information technologies to exploit the magnitude and potential of organic farming for enhancement of sustainable small ruminant production systems in the Mediterranean region.

I constructed the airfoil using points that I got from airfoiltools.com. That is not the issue here.

I'm trying to construct an airfoil shape within an airfoil shape such that the thickness distribution between the two airfoil curves is uniform at (10/12/15)mm

OK. What would be an estimate for the mass?

eScooters (.. 45 km/h) are on offer with 1..3 kW here (Germany). And this value easily increases to 10..20 kW regarding 4-wheelers in the .. 750 kg class. When searching for commercially available e-vehicles (e.g. @ Piaggio), you should be able to find more motor power values and the corresponding vehicle weights.

From this point of view, 1.5 kW for a 3-wheeler seems a bit 'meagre'.

These resources may interest you.

Yes, there are mediated variables. I will explain the detial for a person who join with me.

I am not sure if just measuring attitude  towards teamwork will provide the expected productivity gains?

There are many additional factors that influence productivity in team work. Some are people related, personal side of team work. Some are technical-oriented or related. Others are management style or management strategies-deployed. 

A lot depends upon a set of strategies or styles chosen or deployed during a teamwork. Such as on a project, how work-tasks are distributed or how work-tasks are assigned among the selected team-players.  

The following paper outlines some of those aspects.. Take a look... 

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but the eHealth Observatory model provides sequential assessments comparing eHealth system promises with what's delivered:

Hello

If mental images are part of the normal training, then there will be differences in performance between high and low in training in training.

If mental images are not in the usual training, you can find an uncertain outcome.

Team work is the fundamental landmark of civilisation. Whatever the cultural meaning of this, whatever the worldwide differences, team work is the secret of good Organisations. 

Teamwork skills can be taught using improvisation training.

Specifically, in the medical field, there are some US applications that may be of interest: http://www.medicalimprov.org/ 

Thank you, Naresh, I will be sharing more details on this study after March 15.  Look forward to having all interested persons involved.

You can also take a look at the "agile fluency model" with a star like rating:

It can be used not only for Scrum teams and also include the surrounding of teams (for example the product management layer)

A paper on teamwork in environmental projects is attached. It may help you and give some directions to move ahead. 

Dear Katherine Mary Main

I am writing to you to tell you about teamwork. In my opinion you should give assignments to combine three or four students. To make sure they worked together, mention to them, that you will choose someone from the group to show case teamwork and the assessment will be for all. It will make them all give their best in their work.

I would be happy if I help you.

Best regards,

Andrija

Dear Olaitan:

My answer does not focus on theory but on simple practices. If your question is really to further research you should give far more weight to the previous responses from our colleagues.

Here are the steps I would advise one to take in order to establish his/her influence within a workgroup:

1. Understand the organizational culture and "politics" to see where you best fit in (e.g. - What are the terminal and instrumental values shared across the organization? See Rokeach Value Survey). P.S. – Do not be deceived by the "espoused" values understand the "enacted" values.

2. Understand your most prominent potential to establish your personal power base within the organization (e.g. – legitimate, reward, expert, referent, coercive – See French and Raven).

3. Seek to align your power base with the terminal and instrumental values of the organizational culture.

4. And now for the most important subsequent steps - Be Humble, Fit In, and Be Friendly ... :-).

Again, these ideas may not help you as much as the contributions from others. Nevertheless I give them in hope that they might be of some use to you and/or others.

Keep the research fires burning.

Your Friend & Colleague,

Dr. Jay

This is a very timely problem. My colleague Charles Jahren at Iowa State has been doing research on the way different generations learn as a part of an engineering education research project to improve the pedagogy in construction engineering education. I've not followed his actual published output but I was assume he is making a comparison of generational learning models and since construction is totally a team-intensive industry, those comparisons might be of use to you.

Hi Juan,

I think "reciprocity" can be an important construct explain why satisfied team members can contribute to overall team outcomes.  This is based on a mixed methods study that I'd conducted on project team members whereby when they were satisfied, the project performance has improved.  During the qualitative phase of the study through interviews with some participants, when team members received benefits contributed by other team members, this has created gratitude showing which rendered them to do something good in return to those team members (contributors).  May be through multiplier effect, this has improved the project performance outcomes.  Lesson learned for me from that study is - team leader needs to proactively trigger the "reciprocal action" e.g. doing good for others by demonstrating it himself / herself earlier and more frequently or motivate team members to do the same in which this might significantly improve the team outcomes.  I think this learning might apply to sport team in which may be you can contribute some empirical results.  In case you want, you can refer to this link on that study / article that I'd written.  Wishing you all the best.

Regards,

Fung
