. The study is devoted to the study and analysis of techniques and technologies of time management in the work of scientific and pedagogical workers in the conditions of martial law in Ukraine. Because with the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, prolonged air strikes, shelling and their consequences greatly affected not only the psycho-emotional state of scientific and pedagogical workers, but also made certain corrections in the timing of the educational process of higher education institutions and the allocation of time for the fulfillment of the duties of employees. Therefore, the purp...

Young people’s drinking represents a nexus between time, temporalities and social practices. While drinking and intoxication have previously been considered a way to achieve a youthful sense of ‘time out’, young people’s drinking is declining in Australia and other high-income countries, suggesting alcohol’s centrality in young people’s leisure time has diminished. Drawing on interviews with light and non-drinker teenagers from Melbourne, Australia, we develop Adorno’s concept of ‘free time’ to show how young people’s time use practices – including how they incorporate alcohol into their lives...

I’ve got a lot better at time management being at Cambridge cause it does feel that everyone is so busy all of the time and the workload is such that you really need to be quite strict with yourself it terms of, um, you know, if you’ve got a deadline coming up you can’t, you can’t, just kind of, you can’t put it off, you’ve got to kind of get round to it and, you know, kind of do your best with it.

To reduce patient and provider confusion and optimize glycemic management, mean CGM glucose, not GMI, should be used as a complement to laboratory HbA1c testing in patients using CGM systems.

Сегодня все чаще на смену известному выражению «время - деньги» приходит тезис «время дороже денег». Следовательно, в отечественной практике менеджмента начинает укрепляться осознание необратимости времени и тех упущенных возможностей предприятия, которые так и не будут им реализованы, если оно не задастся целью грамотно расставить акценты «управления временем». Возможно, этим объясняется современный интерес к тайм-менеджменту на уровне тренингов консалтинговых компаний, вузовских учебных курсов, а также публикации ряда академических работ в области данной проблематики. Цель исследования насто...

A microgrid will often be characterized by very low embedded system inertia when operating fully islanded. In this state, management of the embedded stored energy in the microgrid over timescales of milliseconds is of critical importance as even short periods of mismatch between generation and consumption will cause voltage collapse on the network. This article proposes a discrete-time (sampling-based) energy management algorithm that uses the rapid controllability of power-electronics interfaced loads to manage the internal stored energy of loads with the aim of minimizing the use of bulk sto...

Introduction The notion of satisfaction with the use of one’s time has not been operationalized previously. Based on qualitative interviews, we propose a concept of positive time use comprised by four components: self-congruence of daily activities, balance between activities, efficient use of time, and a sense of mastery over one’s time. Methods Using data from two UK adult samples (N = 173 and N = 357), we developed a new measure, Positive Time Use Inventory (PTUI), and investigated its structural and convergent validity. Results and discussion The associations of positive time use with bala...

I proposed that I would start this editorial with the phrase ‘that we live in interesting times…’given the ongoing challenge to all is the Covid_19 pandemic. The alleged origin of the phrase is said to be from a Chinese curse ‘may you live in interesting times’ but is found not to be directly attributable to a Chinese source, but it does use irony to suggest we are living in difficult and challenging times. It was subsequently used by the likes of Joseph Chamberlain and more recently in the 1960s by the then USA President John F Kennedy. [1] Either way most of us know that pandemics, dissent, ...

Globally, sulfur (S) applications to croplands result in S inputs that often exceed historical atmospheric deposition. Sulfur is applied to crops as a fertilizer, fungicide, soil conditioner, pH regulator, and carrier for other elements. However, excess S in soils and aquatic ecosystems can have detrimental ecological and biogeochemical consequences, including soil base cation depletion, surface water acidification, hydrogen sulfide toxicity, and increased production of methyl mercury. The dichotomy between S benefits to crops and environmental consequences parallels that of nitrogen and phosp...

The Covid19 pandemic brings time to the foreground as a multidimensional force that pervades diverse phenomena. For example, ‘flattening the curve’ – the key crisis management strategy pursued by many governments – is about slowing down the spread of the virus so that hospitals gain time to ramp up capacities and to heal patients without overflowing. Stimulus programs are about bridging the time between the preand postpandemic pace of economic activity, because the virus is slowing down large parts of the global economy. Time is also of the essence in the development, production, and distribut...

Despite enormous national, regional, and global efforts on chemical management, the widespread use of hazardous chemicals continues in many parts of the world even after decades of there being well-known risks to public and/or ecosystem health. This continued supply and use, despite strong evidence of negative impacts, is not unique to chemicals management. In the field of climate change, the concept of “lock-in” has been used to explain the complex interactions among economic, social, technological, and political dynamics that reinforce global reliance on the extraction and use of fossil fuel...

as Henry Simons (University of Chicago) and Joseph Schumpeter—neither known for their radicalism!—will prove most compelling to those interested in the history of economic ideas. These essays illustrate, among other things, just how wide ranging among economists was the concern with finance, crisis, and capitalist development through most of the twentieth century. Just as valuable are Whalen’s observations on how Minsky can help us think about what he calls an “Economic policy for the real world”— and how to think concretely about the urgent task of reforming the financial system. Running thro...

Students’ time management was one of the factors contributing to students’ learning outcomes. Time management during a forced-distance-learning was particularly interesting to be studied, since students were practicing it independently at home without teacher’s direct supervision. Therefore, students depended solely on their discipline in managing their learning time at home to conduct distance learning. The purpose of this study was to gauge the impact of students’ time management on students’ learning outcome during distance learning due to Covid-19 pandemic. Previous studies have shown the ...

Although managers are often concerned about their use of time to get more done, there are even more compelling reasons for the effective use of time. Time is important from the perspectives of health, of employee work performance, and of new products. Managers waste time in many ways, including the confusion of activity with results, lack of planning, doing it yourself, misusing an open-door policy, and use of managerial shortcuts. If people want to make better use of their time, they must first admit that most of their time management problems are of their own making. These 'internal' time wa...
