The e-revolution and post-compulsory education: using e-business models to deliver quality education
The best practices of e-business are revolutionising not just technology itself but the whole process through which services are provided; and from which important lessons can be learnt by post-compulsory educational institutions. This book aims to move debates about ICT and higher education beyond a simple focus on e-learning by considering the provision of post-compulsory education as a whole. It considers what we mean by e-business, why e-business approaches are relevant to universities and colleges and the key issues this raises for post-secondary education

A literature review of knowledge management, facilities management and link between those two disciplines
This paper tries to scrutinize the nature of knowledge management and facilities management within their variety of definitions, through a literature review. It concentrates on identifying
different broad views and definitions of each subject area. At the same time the paper concentrates on ascertaining the core features of each discipline during the literature review. By evaluating these core features of each discipline, the paper then discusses the importance of managing the knowledge within the facilities management domain. Finally, by evaluating potential interrelationships between knowledge
management and facilities management, it describes how and where the concepts of knowledge
management can be used to manage facilities for organisational success, followed by a discussion about how and where facilities management concepts can effectively be used for successful implementation of knowledge management exercises
Energy-efficient through-life smart design, manufacturing and operation of ships in an industry 4.0 environment
Energy efficiency is an important factor in the marine industry to help reduce manufacturing and operational costs as well as the impact on the environment. In the face of global competition and cost-effectiveness, ship builders and operators today require a major overhaul in the entire ship design, manufacturing and operation process to achieve these goals. This paper highlights smart design, manufacturing and operation as the way forward in an industry 4.0 (i4) era from designing for better energy efficiency to more intelligent ships and smart operation through-life. The paper (i) draws parallels between ship design, manufacturing and operation processes, (ii) identifies key challenges facing such a temporal (lifecycle) as opposed to spatial (mass) products, (iii) proposes a closed-loop ship lifecycle framework and (iv) outlines potential future directions in smart design, manufacturing and operation of ships in an industry 4.0 value chain so as to achieve more energy-efficient vessels. Through computational intelligence and cyber-physical integration, we envision that industry 4.0 can revolutionise ship design, manufacturing and operations in a smart product through-life process in the near future

Kesan pembelajaran koperatif terhadap pencapaian pendidikan alam sekitar dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah menengah rendah
Pembelajaran koperatif merupakan satu teknik pembelajaran yang melibatkan
pelajar bekerjasama dalam satu kumpulan untuk mencapai matlamat tertentu.
Dalam topik Pendidikan Alam Sekitar, pelajar didapati agak lemah dalam
memahami sesuatu istilah dan tidak dapat mengaitkan topik dengan pengalaman
serta persekitaran mereka. Sebelum ini, pengajaran dan pembelajaran lebih
berpusatkan guru. Pembelajaran koperatif pula hanya melibatkan mata pelajaran
yang menggunakan makmal atau bengkel. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau
kesan pembelajaran berkumpulan terhadap pencapaian pelajar dalam Pendidikan
Alam Sekitar melalui mata pelajaran Geografi. Bentuk kajian yang digunakan ialah
kuasi-eksperimen yang dijalankan dengan menggunakan ujian pra dan ujian pasca
ke atas kumpulan eksperimen dan kumpulan kawalan. Sampel kajian adalah dua
kumpulan pelajar tingkatan 1 dari Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Luar Bandar di
negeri Johor. Sampel kajian terdiri daripada 37 orang pelajar kumpulan eksperimen
dan 35 orang pelajar kumpulan kawalan. Kumpulan eksperimen merupakan
kumpulan yang menggunakan kaedah pembelajaran koperatif manakala kumpulan
kawalan diajar tanpa pembelajaran koperatif. Instrumen kajian ialah ujian
pencapaian, borang soal selidik, jadual pemerhatian dan temubual. Hasil kajian
mendapati min pencapaian kumpulan eksperimen adalah tinggi iaitu 18.16
berbanding dengan min kumpulan kawalan, iaitu 13.91. Dapatan kajian
menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan pencapaian bagi pelajar yang menjalani
pembelajaran koperatif berbanding dengan pelajar yang tidak mengamalkan kaedah
pembelajaran tersebut. Pelajar juga dapat menerima penggunaan pembelajaran
koperatif dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Kesimpulannya,
pembelajaran koperatif bukan sahaja dapat meningkatkan hasil malah dapat
meningkatkan kualiti proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran
The wider context of performance analysis and it application in the football coaching process
The evolving role of PA and the associated proliferation of positions and internships within high performance sport has driven consideration for a change, or at least a broadening, of emphasis for use of PA analysis. In order to explore the evolution of PA from both an academic and practitioner perspective this paper considers the wider conceptual use of PA analysis. In establishing this, the paper has 4 key aims: (1) To establish working definitions of PA and where it sits within the contemporary sports science and coaching process continuum; (2) To consider how PA is currently used in relation to data generation; (3) To explore how PA could be used to ensure transfer of information, and; (4) To give consideration to the practical constrains potentially faced by coach and analyst when implementing PA strategies in the future
