    The article aims to analyze how to develop employability skills for Medan tourism polytechnic students through a multimedia system approach at the Medan tourism polytechnic. By interviewing several academics at the Medan Polytechnic tourism Department, we have obtained valuable data, including how academicians prepare students to develop their working skills in the hospitality world with a technological approach. We designed this study qualitatively with semi-structured interviews and reviewed secondary data. We finally got some valuable input. The coordinators and lecturers of the Medan Tourism Polytechnic have developed the abilities of their students who are ready to enter the world of a career in the future. The skills they prepared include, for example, being flexible workers, having industry awareness then, having attention to detail skills, time management, interpersonal skills and communication skills, and so on. Hopefully, these findings will become input for developing help studies and labeling skills for future students.  Keywords: Employability Skills, Multimedia Interactive, Multimedia Approache

    KFA Jülich is one of the largest big-science research centres in Europe; its scientific and engineering activities are ranging from fundamental research to applied science and technology. KFA's Central Institute for Applied Mathematics (ZAM) is running the large-scale computing facilities and network systems at KFA and is providing communication services, general-purpose and supercomputer capacity also for the HLRZ ("Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum") established in 1987 in order to further enhance and promote computational science in Germany. Thus, at KFA - and in particular enforced by ZAM - supercomputing has received high priority since more than ten years. What particle accelerators mean to experimental physics, supercomputers mean to Computational Science and Engineering: Supercomputers are the accelerators of theory

    The Role of SMS in Mobile Data Service Diffusion in China: A Longitudinal Case Study Based on Actor-Network Theory

    Get PDF
    While Japan’s I-mode failed to be adopted in other countries and WAP also did not succeed in promoting mobile data services, a rather simple technology of SMS made its way to facilitate the growth of mobile data services in China. In this paper, we conduct a case study based on actor- network theory in order to explain 1) how mobile data services are developed and adopted in China, 2) what is the role of SMS in facilitating the development of mobile data services, and 3) what technological and social factors attribute to the adoption process of mobile data services. Drawing upon actor-network theory (ANT), this paper investigates longitudinally the driving forces fueling the development of data services in the China market. By analyzing the network structures formed by the various actors such as mobile data service providers, government departments, technical artifacts, customers, etc., we can better understand the dynamics of the mobile data service development in China and provide valuable references for the rest of the world

    Os espaços verdes são elementos essenciais das cidades. Estes espaços contribuem significativamente para a saúde e bem-estar dos adolescentes no meio urbano, constituindo modos de intervenção custo-efetiva para a redução das iniquidades em saúde e a transformação de cidades resilientes às alterações climáticas. No que concerne o planeamento e design dos espaços verdes urbanos, as necessidades e interesses dos adolescentes tendem a ser negligenciados. Foi objetivo deste estudo identificar facilitadores, barreiras e promotores de uso de espaços verdes urbanos pelos adolescentes da Área Metropolitana do Porto. Foi realizado um estudo qualitativo com recolha de dados através de grupos focais. Os participantes foram selecionados da coorte Geração XXI (G21) e foram estratificados de acordo com estatuto socioeconómico. Os dados foram analisados tematicamente, usando-se uma abordagem dedutivo-indutiva. A proximidade e multifuncionalidade dos espaços verdes urbanos foram os facilitadores de uso mais citados pelos adolescentes; enquanto que elevada pressão de visitantes, falta de vegetação e falta de manutenção foram identificados como importantes barreiras. Os adolescentes destacaram a necessidade de aumentar em número e tamanho os espaços verdes na Área Metropolitana do Porto, potenciando simultaneamente a sua multifuncionalidade através da provisão de equipamentos.Green spaces are an essential element in cities. They can significantly contribute to adolescents' health and wellbeing in the urban setting, being at the same time a cost-effective intervention to reduce health inequities and contributing to climate-resilient cities. Adolescents needs and desires regarding the planning and design of urban green spaces tend to be neglected. We aimed to identify facilitators, barriers and promoters of use of urban green spaces by adolescents in the Porto Metropolitan Area. A focus group design was used. Participants were selected from the Generation XXI cohort (G21) and were stratified according to their socioeconomic status. Data were analyzed thematically using a deductive-inductive approach. Proximity and multifunctionality of urban green spaces were the most cited facilitators of use, by adolescents; whilst high visitors' pressure, lack of vegetation and lack of maintenance were identified as important barriers. Adolescents enhance the need to increase the number and size of urban green spaces in the Porto Metropolitan Aera, while potentiating their multifunctionality by means of equipment provision
