“…Moreover, they accentuate dimensions of combat readiness internalised to students' cognition, such as knowledge accumulation, practical transformation, problem-solving, etc. Conversely, this signals the need for resilient methods for students to engage their cognitive readiness and achieve a student-centred learning system (Strandenes et al, 2013;Tsarouhas and Makrygianni, 2017;Dantas and Cunha, 2020). Finally, this study demonstrates students' achievement of an efficient learning system due to their signified engagement.…”

“…The same applies to kinetic-active knowledge acquisition (Gray, 2001;Kamal and Radhakrishnan, 2019;Wang et al, 2020;Lei et al, 2021). In other words, gamers' tacit-latent knowledge enhances their cognitive combat readiness (Griffith, 2006;Herspring, 2006;Tsarouhas and Makrygianni, 2017). Moreover, gamers always face various situations ending with the requirement to conduct problem-solving swiftly and innovatively.…”

“…First, it argues that gamers' personality traits, such as military perspectives, are specific to combat readiness (Griffith, 2002;Strandenes et al, 2013;McCrow et al, 2014). It transforms this term into cognitive combat readiness for these gamers, meaning that gaming cognition is based on technical practises (Yurechko, 1988;Herspring, 2006;Tsarouhas and Makrygianni, 2017). Moreover, these gamers swiftly transform theories and concepts into technical practises implemented in problem-solving (Sánchez and Olivares, 2011;Sahasrabudhe and Kanungo, 2014;Dantas and Cunha, 2020).…”

Enhancing cognitive combat readiness: Gamers’ Behaviours concentrating on convergent learning style, tacit-latent, and kinetic-active knowledge acquisitions

This study investigates gamers’ learning styles and knowledge acquisition behavioural patterns. It argues that gamers usually have different characteristics transforming themselves to gain distinctive competencies. In other words, this study mitigates gamers’ mechanistically distinctive attitudes and behaviours, enhancing their cognitive combat readiness, that they are on convergent learning style, tacit-latent, and kinetic-active knowledge acquisitions. Methodologically, it uses a field-experimental design using the “Clash Royale” game. Then, this research measures playing performances by average decks’ score, card collection, battle deck combinations, and the usage of gold and gems. Moreover, it collects gamer respondents using a purposive sampling method by identifying them on social media and then challenging them to play. This research finds that gamers acquire new knowledge to enhance their capabilities with convergent learning styles and familiarity with the tacit-latent and kinetic-active knowledge types. Thus, it demonstrates its attitude and behavioural validities because their inner motives construct themselves always to win the game matches genuinely. Hence, it explains that gamers generally are brilliant young individuals whose impact is to create their tactically contemporary style due to the learning cycle ending in that convergent style. Likewise, these gamers simultaneously seek flexibility to enhance the game kinetically or elastically. The authors reveal that gamers’ mental models show their learning styles and knowledge acquisition behaviours explained by their strong personalities, such as curious, workaholic, prestigious, and hedonic emotions.

The main aim of this study is to analyze the application of reliability, availability, maintainability and dependability in identification of most sensitive subsystem of evaporation system in sugar plant. For this analysis, transition diagram of all subsystems is drawn and respective Chapman-Kolmogorov differential equations are derived using Markov birth-death process. All failure and repair rates of each subsystem are exponentially distributed. Various measures of system effectiveness like mean time between failures, mean time to repair and dependability ratio for all the three subsystems are also computed. Sensitivity analysis of system reliability is also performed. The reliability and maintainability are estimated at various time instants. Analysis of all the subsystems shows that sulphited syrup is highly sensitive from reliability point of view. The derived measures are shared with system designers for their active deliberation.

“…Maintenance policy optimization has always been the research emphasis for reliability analysis of manufacturing systems (Ding and Kamaruddin, 2015). In another study, Tsarouhas and Makrygianni (2017) focused on the application of maintainability analysis in a jet fighter aircraft in order to point out weaknesses of maintenance operations. Moreover, the quality function deployment method was applied to link customer requirements and maintenance characteristics in military squadron, revealing the relationship among the prevailing factors affecting maintenance operations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide results for a complete reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) analysis utilizing data sets from a production system in a wine packaging line. Through the illustrated case study, the author demonstrates how RAM analysis is very useful for deciding maintenance intervals, and for planning and organizing the adequate maintenance strategy. Design/methodology/approach RAM analysis has been done for each machine by using failures data. The parameters of some common probability distributions, such as Weibull, exponential, lognormal, and normal distributions, have been estimated by using the Minitab software package. An investigation to determine which of these distributions provide the best fit for characterizing the failure pattern at machine and line level has been made. Reliability and maintainability of both wine packaging and its machines has been estimated at different mission times with their best fit distribution. High maintainability issues and potential factors with their potential failure modes were presented, through failure mode and effect analysis process. Findings Analysis of the total downtime, breakdown frequency, reliability, and maintainability characteristics of different machines shows that: first, the availability for the wine packaging line was 91.80 percent, and for the remaining 8.2 percent the line is under repair. Second, about two failures per shift are displayed on the line, whereas for the mean time-to-repair (TTR) a failure is 24 minutes. Third, there is no correlation between the time-between-failures and the TTRs for the wine packaging line. Fourth, the main three factors affecting the maintainability process in the production line are: resources availability, manpower management, and maintenance planning procedures. Originality/value This study is anticipated to serve as an illuminating effort in conducting a complete RAM analysis in the much advertised field of wine packaging production line which on the other hand so little has been published on operational availability and equipment effectiveness. It can also be useful to serve as a valid data source for winery product manufacturers, who wish to improve the design and operation of their production lines.
