**Techno Model in Education**

**Characteristics and Derivation**

The Techno Model is based on the achievement of objectives, which are formulated as observable behaviors. It gives greater importance to the objectives, while the process has a relative value.

• Characteristics: Expressed in terms of observable behavior, it obviates the subjective processes that can be activated during the task. It is posed as a whole, aimed at improving assessment, and serves as a reference point for evaluating its effectiveness with the fullest concretion, quantitatively.
• Derivation: Defines the operating range objectively to target general objectives.
• Specification: Specifies the content to attain an objective at two levels: specific and operative.

**Application in

In more rigorous terms, it is called the Coriolis force. The force must be exerted on a body not to change its angular velocity when its distance varies with the axis, i.e., the force must be exercised so that the Coriolis effect is not manifested. This is analogous to the case of force necessary to maintain a body with a fixed distance from the axis; that force is called centripetal force, and whose absence causes the appearance of strength (or fictitious force), called centrifugal force.

Tide is the periodic change in sea level, caused mainly by gravitational forces exercising the Moon and the Sun.

Ocean waves are mechanical waves (i.e., material disruptions to half) of calls surface, which are those that propagate through the interface (the... Continue reading "Understanding Coriolis Force, Tides, and Nautical Charts" »

Barriers to Negotiation

Negotiating is not easy. In addition, there are a number of factors that directly influence the negotiation, preventing it from being successful. The main barriers are:

• Lack of practice: In this case, initial preparation and, above all, listening play an important role. When not used to negotiating, important aspects that will decide the course of the negotiation are often neglected.
• Lack of analysis of all possible alternatives.
• Fast concessions: It is better to listen and take time to assess.
• Lack of strategy, and the other party taking advantage.
• Missing definition of the field of negotiation: It must be determined what you want to achieve and where you are willing to concede.
• Insecurity: If you notice, the other party may

Company Mission

Mission: Represents the identity and personality of the company. It is usually a generic concept and always tries to answer two questions: What is the essence of our business? And what do we want? It serves as a reference and identification for employees and is usually stable over time but must be understood as a dynamic concept that can be changed.

We understand the mission as a set of variables (Bartlett, 1988):

• The product that the company offers.
• The consumer need it is to cover.
• The market definition or the scope of activity.
• Technology based on the production system or the provision of service.
• The distinctive competence of the company or its strategic assets (competitive advantage).

Company: An organized entity created by one person or a group of people with the aim of achieving benefits or objectives, usually economic. Various factors contribute to production.

Company Size: Micro (<10 employees); Small (<50 employees); Medium (<250 employees); Large (>250 employees)

Legal Status: Legal capacity to act or undertake between an organization and the legal world, holding rights and obligations with third parties.

Types of Enterprises:

• Sole Proprietorship: (1 partner, unlimited liability, no separate legal personality)
• Limited Liability Company (SL): (2+ partners, liability limited to €3,005.06, separate legal personality)
• Public Limited Company (SA): (2+ partners, liability limited to €60,101.21, separate legal personality)

Continuous vs. Intermittent Production Systems

The degree of continuity of material flow categorizes production systems into two main types: Continuous Production and Intermittent Production. Here's a breakdown of their key differences:

Characteristics of Each Production System

This document provides minimum design regulations to safeguard life, limb, health, property, and public welfare. It provides information for regulating and controlling the permitting, design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings and structures within the authority of jurisdiction (AHJ). It also regulates certain specific equipment within all buildings and structures.

Fire Alarm Control Unit

In most cases, the fire alarm control unit, not the device, performs the actual determination of the alarm state.

Detection Devices

Line detectors- Detection is continuous along the entire length of the detector in these detection devices. Typical examples may include certain older pneumatic rate-of-... Continue reading "NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code Overview" »

Item 15.7: Five Measures to Prevent Biological Risks

• No eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas.
• Provide workers with protective clothing (gloves and masks).
• Control room access and provide adequate antiseptic products.
• Have written procedures for handling dangerous products.
• Have lockers so workers do not mix their work clothes with street clothes.

Item 15.8: Defining Physical Agents

Physical agents are elements in the work environment that may cause illnesses and accidents.

Item 15.9: Noise Definition and Magnitudes

Noise is defined as any unwanted and annoying sound. The magnitudes that define noise are intensity and frequency.

Item 15.10: Effects of Noise on Individuals

Noise can cause disorders of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, digestive... Continue reading "Preventing Biological and Physical Risks in the Workplace" »

Creating a Successful Business Plan

A business plan is a document in which a business idea is defined in a clear and synthetic manner. It details the tools to be used by the main promoters and describes its advantages.

Advantages of a Business Plan

• External: Facilitates obtaining funding.
• Internal: Helps determine project viability and plan, organize, direct, and control the production factors necessary to make the activity a reality.

Key Elements of a Business Plan Design

The design of a business plan should include:

• Natural Resources: Primarily energy and natural supplies.
• Labor: Direct or indirect workforce.
• Capital: Property investments and financial resources.
• Entrepreneurial Organization: Administration, management, and direction.
• Technology: Procedures

Human Resources Management

1. Human Resources Department

The Human Resources Department (HR) is responsible for the selection, training, development, and achievement of the professional staff needed to meet the organization's objectives. This includes activities to maximize employee satisfaction and efficiency.

2. HR Objectives

The primary objective of HR is to improve the productive contribution of human resources and, indirectly, the organization. This involves enhancing productivity and quality of work life by incorporating social considerations and minimizing the negative impact of societal demands on the organization. HR aims to help achieve organizational objectives and maintain its contribution to the required level of service. Additionally,...
