    The aim of research is to find out mobile phone adult user habits and understanding of electromagnetic field effects on health. A comprehensive literature searches and analyzation was conducted in the electronic databases (Pubmed, Accessmedicine etc.), to find out later research outcomes about electromagnetic field impact on health, also electronic survey was conducted and results statisticaly  processed with SPSS 24. 192 respondents participated in study:  117– females, 75– males in age range from 18 to 55 years. Hypothesis: Understanding the electromagnetic field health effects reduce the use of mobile phones on a daily basis not confirmed, because the majority of respondents are not willing to change their cell phone use patterns, or believe that it is not possible

    Applying Adapted Big Five Teamwork Theory to Agile Software Development

    Get PDF
    Teamwork is a central tenet of agile software development but various teamwork theories only partially explain teamwork in that context. Big Five teamwork theory is one of the most influential teamwork theories, but prior research shows that the team leadership concept in this theory it is not applicable to agile software development. This paper applies an adapted form of Big Five teamwork theory to cases of agile software development. Three independent cases were drawn from a single organisation providing a measure of control over contextual factors affecting the teamwork. The findings show that the adapted form of Big Five teamwork theory, including a shared team leadership concept, is fully applicable to some forms of agile software development, but not all. For practitioners, insights as to which agile practices support teamwork are provided

    Development of teacher’s creative individuality is a dynamic process of personality transformation and self-development. Aim of the article is to determine the possibilities to facilitate students’ self-dependent professional activities as a condition of creativity. Within the framework of the article, the results of the experts’ judgment method are analyzed using content analysis. Experts’ assessment confirms the correspondence of the model to the consummation of student's individual development and learning objectives. Students' creative professional activity is contributed by facilitation of student-oriented and social-oriented studies activity; provision of the action approach; ensuring the unity of theory and practice between the study courses and pedagogical practice as well as in the content of each one

    Measuring Coordination in Agile Software Development

    Get PDF
    Coordination has long been recognized as contributing to successful IT projects. Agile software development provides many practices for achieving project coordination in small co-located projects. Given the importance of coordination to successful software development projects and the increasing popularity of agile software development, investigating coordination in this context is timely and potentially useful. This paper takes an existing theory of coordination in co-located agile software development projects developed from case study research and proposes a field test of that theory. The question addressed is what is the effect of an agile coordination strategy on coordination effectiveness in co-located software development projects? This paper describes the initial theory of coordination and a research design for field-testing that theory

    A Few Interventions and Offerings from Five Movement Lawyers to the Access to Justice Movement

    Get PDF
    We are five lawyers who occupy very different corners of justice work. We are civil rights, human rights, and criminal defense lawyers, and we have worked at and managed legal services programs. We have taught law at law schools and universities and have built our own organizations. We currently work in interdisciplinary spaces with community organizers, funders, and other stakeholders in the justice system. As diverse as our perspectives are, we share a common belief that any mobilization around access to justice fails if it does not center the vision and strategies of larger social justice movements. We share here our collective calls to action to the legal community—and the allies that support and resource legal services—to expand our mission beyond chasing a standard of fairness that is impossible to achieve as long as we have deeply embedded structural and systemic inequity. Instead, let us reimagine what our communities actually need to be safe, free, and to live in our fullest humanity. We believe the role of movement lawyers is to use the law as a tool of social change, at the direction of communities most impacted by injustice. When we focus our lawyering on listening to community organizers, clients, and activists with a broader vision for social change, we can become partners in transforming systems, rather than simply making them more hospitable
