Process improvement (PI) groups have been among the main change instruments of widely adopted and publicized organizational development approaches such as total quality management and business process re-engineering. Asynchronous groupware tools, such as electronic messaging systems, have found widespread use in organizations yet very little field research exists on how PI groups are affected by such tools. We try to fill this gap with a field study of the effects of asynchronous groupware support on seven PI groups in two New Zealand organizations. Our study indicates that, while not having perceived negative effects on group effectiveness, asynchronous groupware support was perceived as increasing process adoption, hierarchy suppression, departmental heterogeneity and contribution length and decreasing discussion duration, cost and interaction in PI groups. We argue that, based on these findings, the use of asynchronous groupware tools is likely to be beneficial in PI projects, particularly where a large number of PI groups proposing incremental process changes is conducted.

Kota Makassar sebagai salah satu tempat favorit bagi para pengungsi dan pencari suaka sebagai tempat transit sementara sebelum berangkat ke negara tujuan.  Fenomena kemunculan pengungsi dan pencari suaka di kota Makassar  seringkali dianggap membawa efek negatif bagi negara transit terkhusus Kota Makassar, dimana para pengungsi berpotensi melakukan tindakan-tindakan Penyalahgunaan Izin Keimigrasian serta dari aspek ekonomi akan membebankan Pemerintah karena harus menyediakan fasilitas yang diambil dari pajak masyarakat.. Pemerintah Indonesia tidak mempunyai aturan khusus yang mengatur mengenai perlindungan penanganan dan pengawasan pengungsi dan pencari suaka yang jelas. Hal ini kadang membuat penanganan dan pengawasan pengungsi dan pencari suaka di Kota Makassar tidak berjalan secara maksimal.  Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Penelitian Lapangan (Field Research) dikombinasikan dengan Penelitian Kepustakaan (Library Research). Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah United Nation High Comission for Refugees (UNHCR) perwakilan Makassar, Kantor Imigrasi kota Makassar, Rumah Detensi Imigrasi kota Makassar dan pengungsi dan pencari suaka yang berada di rumah rumah penampungan sementara di Kota Makassar. Teknik pengumpulan data adalah wawancara dan dokumentasi yang kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif dan dituangkan dalam bentuk deksriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa adanya penanganan dan pengawasan pengungsi dan pencari suaka yang berada di kota Makassar yang belum maksimal di karenakan beberapa faktor antaran lain, ketidakjelasan payung hukum pelaksanaan tugas, terbatasnya anggran dalam pemenuhan sarana dan prasarana penanaganan dan pengawasan  pengungsi dan pencari suaka di Kota Makassar. Makassar City is one of favorite places for refugees and asylum seekers as a temporary transit point before leaving for the destination country. Phenomenon of the emergence of refugees and asylum seekers in Makassar is often considered to have negative effects on transit countries, especially in Makassar City, where the refugees have the potential to commit the acts of abuse of immigration permits, and in economic aspect this will burden the Government to provide facilities taken from public taxes. The Indonesian government does not have a specific regulation to set the protection of handling and supervision of refugees and asylum seekers clearly. It sometimes makes the handling and supervision of refugees and asylum seekers in Makassar City not running optimally.  The research method used is Field Research combined with Library Research. The population of the study were the United Nation High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) representatives in Makassar, Immigration Office of Makassar, Immigration Detention Center of Makassar, refugees and asylum seekers residing in temporary shelters in Makassar City. Techniques of data collection are interviews and documentation which are then analyzed qualitatively and set forth in a descriptive form. The results showed that the handling and supervision of refugees and asylum seekers in Makassar City was not optimal due to several factors, such as the unclear, legal basis for the implementation of duties, limited budget in fulfilling the facilities and infrastructure for handling and supervision as well as limited officers in handling and supervision of refugees and asylum seekers in Makassar City.

Indenfor sociologisk forskning i segregering og udsatte boligområder er der almindeligvis ikke fokus på mobilitetsressourcers betydning for urban segregering. Samtidig har store dele af den mobilitets- og trafikrelaterede forskning ikke fokus på social ulighed og eksklusion. Dette studie sammentænker teoretiske inspirationer fra hhv. den kritiske mobilitetsforskning og den ulighedsfokuserede byforskning for at undersøge relationen mellem hverdagsmobilitet og urban segregering. Empirisk kortlægger studiet mobilitetspraksis blandt kvinder med migrationsbaggrund og udlægger, hvilke ressourcer der udgør deres mobilitetskapital, samt hvordan normer og ressourcer knyttet til hverdagsmobilitet bliver genstand for sociale distinktioner. Desuden peger studiet på, hvordan mobilitetskapital bidrager til gruppens selvbillede og oplevelse af segregering i forhold til den omkringliggende by og andre befolkningsgrupper. Studiets empiri er genereret gennem et interdisciplinært forskningsdesign med hovedvægt på kvalitative etnografiske feltmetoder. Studiet bidrager således med et empirisk fundament for begrebet mobilitetskapital og peger på, hvordan ændret mobilitetskapital i praksis kan bidrage til at modvirke negative effekter af urban segregering. ENGELSK ABSTRACT Kristian Nagel Delica, Lise Rask og Naja Poulsen: Mobility capital: everyday mobility in light of urban segregation In sociological studies of urban segregation and deprived neighbourhoods, the effects of mobility-related competences are largely absent. And too, most mobility and traffic-related research does not focus on social inequality and exclusion. This study combines theoretical approaches from critical mobility research and from research on inequality and segregation in urban studies. It maps the conditions for everyday mobility among a group of women with immigrant background living in Copenhagen, Denmark, and highlights components of their mobility capital. The study also examines how norms and resources connected with everyday mobility become objects of social distinction. It also points to ways in which mobility capital contributes both to the self-perception of a group and to the overall experience of segregation in the city. The data were collected through an interdisciplinary research design and based primarily on qualitative field research methods. The study develops an empirical foundation for the concept of »mobility capital« and shows how mobility capital can be activated in order to oppose negative effects of urban segregation. Keywords: everyday mobility, segregation, inequality, mobility capital.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This study aims to determine the reflections of the factors affecting the gradual change of the houses constructed for the American mining company CMC (Cyprus Mines Corporation) in Lefke between 1916 and 1974. Research has shown that such factors as life standards, needs, politics, environmental factors, climate, geography and cultural factors have changed the housing demand. Having taken all these factors into consideration, we have reached a conclusion regarding the transformation of the houses by analysing the collected data by field research techniques appropriate to CMC houses in Lefke. The field research has been conducted by taking samples from each category and analysing them; and the gradual transformation and the underlying environmental factors have been determined. The field research techniques used in the study are interviews, photos, relieves and archive research.</p><p>In the result obtained from the general work; Along with the rapid development caused by the effects of the Industrial Revolution, religious, cultural, economical, political and architectural conditions have been shaped in different forms and values. Along with these circumstances, the changes and transformations that observed in the world and affecting the cities have also affected Cyprus Island. In the Lefke region, along with the establishment of the CMC, the positive and negative effects of the terraced houses, built for the first time in Cyprus in four different categories and their close surroundings, draw quite attention. In the study, the transformations of these houses until today and the factors affecting them have been also determined.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Çalışma, Lefke Bölgesinde 1916-1974 yılları arasında faaliyet gösteren Amerikan maden şirketi CMC (Cyprus Mines Corporation) için yapılmış olan konutların zaman içerisindeki form değişimine etki eden faktörlerin, konut mekânına olan etkilerini saptamaya yöneliktir.

A huge amount of information had been accumulated on abscisic acid (ABA). Laboratory and some field research with ABA-enhanced transgenic plants generally conclude that ABA is a drought resistance hormone, since it causes stomatal closure, reduces transpiration and results in ‘water saving’ under drought stress. This recurring conclusion is hard to accept in the agronomic domain considering the many direct and indirect negative effects of ABA on plant growth and reproduction. In order to formulate a conceptual phenotypic ABA ideotype for plant breeding, this paper begins by briefly reviewing the phenomics of ABA relative to plant function and productivity. Consequently, it is recognised that ABA enhancement is important in controlling the isohydric (‘water saving’) plant model, whereas plant hydraulics are more important in controlling the anisohydric (‘water spending’) plant model. Subsequently, the respective isohydric and anisohydric ideotypes appropriate to specific dryland crop drought stress scenarios are proposed. It is concluded that ABA can by no means be universally defined as a ‘drought resistance hormone’. Its benefit or damage depends on the crop drought stress profile and the dynamics of the seasonal regimen of ABA in the plant. The isohydric ideotype might have an advantage in the harshest environments, whereas the anisohydric one will perform relatively better under more moderate drought conditions.

Traditional rural settlements are the result of a long historical accumulation in the Yellow River Floodplain of North of Henan. The formation and development of spatial form of the settlements is influenced by several dynamic factors, such as the local economic, social, cultural, historical, natural and geographic environment. Currently, the rural urbanization of the region is in an accelerated phase, thus the spatial restructure and social transformation is ongoing. However, the spatial form of the settlements gets affected by many negative effects. Just based on the concerns about the effects, the article first analyzes the dynamic factors of influencing the spatial form of the settlements in the region, then analyzes and summarizes the characteristics of spatial form of the settlements through field research, satellite image extracting and so on in the region, hoping to have a positive reference to the new rural community construction and the development of traditional rural settlements in future.
