This document contains notes from a presentation on group dynamics and decision making. It discusses concepts like groupthink, diversity, conflict styles, and managing differences in groups. Key points include that groups can prematurely reach consensus without considering alternatives, diversity of viewpoints is important for creativity and problem solving, and groups should establish clear expectations and focus on relationships to have constructive discussions and make high quality decisions.
Inter relationship of crop and animal production systemsSavepa77
The document discusses the inter-relationship between crop and animal production systems in India. It notes that crop production of cotton, rice, wheat and sugarcane and livestock rearing of cattle, buffalo and goats are central to India's agricultural economy. Integrated farming systems combine these activities to achieve sustainability. Some examples given are crop-livestock, crop-livestock-fishery, and crop-livestock-poultry-fishery systems. The prospects of integrated crop-livestock systems include sustainable production, full family employment, recycling of wastes and improved standards of living.

Innovations & business models turning sickcare into healthcare Koen Kas
This document discusses innovations that are transforming healthcare from a sickcare system to one focused on health and prevention. It outlines several new technologies like sensors, wearables, apps, and virtual reality tools that allow for remote monitoring of patients and more proactive care. The document argues that integrating these exponential technologies with biomedicine, engineering, information and communication technology, and changes in human behavior can help create a more integrated healthcare model focused on prevention rather than acute care.
This document discusses the key aspects and processes involved in conducting a feasibility study for a proposed business project.

The list appears to be the initial pool of candidates that will go through a selection process for membership on the IEBC.
Using Dynamic Simulation in the Development of Construction MachineryReno Filla
As in the car industry for quite some time, dynamic simulation of complete vehicles is being practiced more and more in the development of off-road machinery. However, specific questions arise due not only to company structure and size, but especially to the type of product. Tightly coupled, non-linear subsystems of different domains make prediction and optimisation of the complete system's dynamic behaviour a challenge. Furthermore, the demand for versatile machines leads to sometimes contradictory target requirements and can turn the design process into a hunt for the least painful compromise. This can be avoided by profound system knowledge, assisted by simulation-driven product development. This paper gives an overview of joint research into this issue by Volvo Wheel Loaders and Linköping University on that matter, lists the results of a related literature review and introduces the term "operability". Rather than giving detailed answers, the problem space for ongoing and future research is examined and possible solutions are sketched.

Selecting representative working cycles from large measurement data setsReno Filla
1. The document describes three methods for selecting representative work cycles from large datasets of machine usage data: the Mean Cycle Method, Synthetic Mean Method, and Least Error Method.
2. The Mean Cycle Method constructs an average cycle and selects the measured cycle closest to it. The Synthetic Mean Method constructs a cycle based on peak frequencies and amplitudes and selects the closest measured cycle. The Least Error Method compares all cycles and selects the one with the smallest deviations.
3. When tested on 100 wheel loader work cycles, the three methods produced similar but not identical results for the most representative cycle depending on the signals considered. Considering multiple important signals led to more agreement between the methods.
On Increasing Fuel Efficiency by Operator Assistance Systems in a Wheel LoaderReno Filla
This document discusses the potential for increasing fuel efficiency and productivity in wheel loaders through an operator assistant system. An empirical study found large variations between operators, with some achieving fuel efficiencies up to 200% higher and productivities up to 700% higher than others. The document argues that an operator assistant system could help all operators achieve the levels of the most efficient operators. It suggests a system that recommends optimal operations to the operator, with some automated functions, as a good starting point. Fuel efficiency improvements of 20-40% and productivity increases of 40-80% are estimated to be possible.
