Hiring in the age of social media: new rules, new game

Companies are beginning to bypass traditional agency channels with new in-house recruitment practices, new executive search entities are challenging existing models, and individuals are using novel pathways to reach out to prospective employers. This is one of the areas of interest for a team of researchers and industry partners in the University of Sydney’s Digital Disruption Research Group (DDRG), which is looking at fundamental changes that are occurring in business as a result of digital technologies. In this study, we worked alongside a large, global professional services firm to understand the impact of social media on corporate recruitment, and to identify ways in which the recruitment processes can be effectively managed for better quality outcomes

Penerapan Model Kooperatif Tipe Think Talk Write Untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Menulis Karangan Narasi Pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar

Penelitian ini bertujuan dapat meningkat keterampilan menulis karangan narasi pada mata pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia di kelas III Sekolah Dasar Negeri 015 Tandun melalui penerapan model kooperatif tipe Think Talk Write. Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh rendahnya hasil keterampilan menulis karangan narasi yang tidak mencapai nilai KKM yang ditetapkan sekolah yaitu 75. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian tindakan kelas. Subjek penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas III tahun ajaran 2018-2019 dengan jumlah siswa sebanyak 20 orang. Objek dalam penelitian ini adalah model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Think Talk Write dan keterampilan menulis karangan narasi. Penelitian ini terdiri dari empat tahapan tiap siklus yaitu: perencanaa, pelaksanaan, pengamatan, dan refleksi. Penelitian ini dilakukan sebanyak 2 siklus yang masing-masing siklus terdiri dari dua kali pertemuan. Pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan dokumentasi dan tes. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data dapat diketahui bahwa terjadinya peningkatan keterampilan menulis karangan narasi pada mata pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia. Sebelum tindakan ketuntasan hasil keterampilan menulis karangan siswa hanya mencapai 25%, lalu pada siklus I pertemuan I meningkat menjadi 30%, siklus I pertemuan II meningkat menjadi 45% dan pada siklus II pertemuan I meningkat menjadi 70% kemudian siklus II pertemuan II meningkat lagi menjadi 85%. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa Penerapan Model Kooperatif Tipe Think Talk Write dapat Meningkatkan Keterampilan Menulis Karangan Narasi Pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar

Design and evaluation of a subcutaneous contraceptive implant training simulator

ObjectiveTo design and fabricate a subcutaneous contraceptive implant insertion simulator, and to characterize the performance of nursing students trained with and without the simulator.MethodA cross‐sectional study was conducted on nursing students in Ghana who had no previous training in the insertion of contraceptive implants. They were given standardized training in insertion of implants from 25 April to 26 April, 2016, and then were randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. The control group watched insertions of live implants while the intervention group practiced using the simulator. Local materials were used to fabricate the simulator. The performance of both groups was assessed after the training.ResultsThe participants consisted of 50 nursing students. Those in the intervention group were more likely to: insert the implant accurately (95.2% vs 78.4%, P<0.001); take less time to complete an insertion (mean of 33.6 seconds vs 42.2 seconds, P<0.001); and commit fewer errors (1.9 vs 2.5, P=0.005) compared to the control group. In addition, participants rated the simulator high on 11/11 of the product requirements with the teaching (93.2%), learning (91.4%), and skill acquisition (88.6%) requirements being the highest rated.ConclusionA low‐cost, locally fabricated simulator is an effective tool for augmenting the current training protocol by improving insertion skills of contraceptive implants.Novices trained with the implant insertion simulator were able to perform error‐free simulated insertions more accurately and quickly compared with the current mode of training.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/151337/1/ijgo12896_am.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/151337/2/ijgo12896.pd

Histories of hating

This roundtable discussion presents a dialogue between digital culture scholars on the seemingly increased presence of hating and hate speech online. Revolving primarily around the recent #GamerGate campaign of intensely misogynistic discourse aimed at women in video games, the discussion suggests that the current moment for hate online needs to be situated historically. From the perspective of intersecting cultural histories of hate speech, discrimination, and networked communication, we interrogate the ontological specificity of online hating before going on to explore potential responses to the harmful consequences of hateful speech. Finally, a research agenda for furthering the historical understandings of contemporary online hating is suggested in order to address the urgent need for scholarly interventions into the exclusionary cultures of networked media

COVID-19 printable project

We are seeing hundreds of people being assessed for COVID-19. Only some of them will be tested. Everyone can do their part to help with self-management, social distancing and self-isolation. As physicians, we want to support patients to self-manage at home. With OCADU's Health Design Studio, we developed the following tools. Adapt, use, share. Drop us a line. Keep well.

Thermomagnonic spin transfer and Peltier effects in insulating magnets

We study the coupled magnon energy transport and collective magnetization dynamics in ferromagnets with magnetic textures. By constructing a phenomenological theory based on irreversible thermodynamics, we describe motion of domain walls by thermal gradients and generation of heat flows by magnetization dynamics. From microscopic description based on magnon kinetics, we estimate the transport coefficients and analyze the feasibility of energy-related applications in insulating ferromagnets, such as yttrium iron garnet and europium oxide.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure

Hydroclimatic Variability and Predictability: A Survey of Recent Research

Recent research in large-scale hydroclimatic variability is surveyed, focusing on five topics: (i) variability in general, (ii) droughts, (iii) floods, (iv) land-atmosphere coupling, and (v) hydroclimatic prediction. Each surveyed topic is supplemented by illustrative examples of recent research, as presented at a 2016 symposium honoring the career of Professor Eric Wood. Taken together, the recent literature and the illustrative examples clearly show that current research into hydroclimatic variability is strong, vibrant, and multifaceted
