Texto completoResumen
The motor system composes complex actions by combining simpler submovements. This presumably involves sharing information about the progress of one submovement with the centres controlling another submovement, to ensure that the second happens in an appropriate relation to the first. This process is called coordination. In this paper Idiscuss evidence that coordinating actions indeed involves an active process of sharing information about the current state of movements. Coordination appears to be qualitatively different from the process of reacting to external stimuli. This may reflect the importance of predictive representations in coordination. Finally, the processes underlying coordination appear to be organized in a response-specific fashion, as a number of relatively independent circuits. The development and tuning of these circuits may, in part, be what makes an action “skilled”.

Many common behaviours require people to coordinate the timing of their actions with the timing of others' actions. We examined whether representations of musicians' actions are activated in coperformers with whom they must coordinate their actions in time and whether coperformers simulate each other's actions using their own motor systems during temporal coordination. Pianists performed right-hand melodies along with simple or complex left-hand accompaniments produced by themselves or by another pianist. Individual performers' preferred performance rates were measured in solo performance of the right-hand melody. The complexity of the left-hand accompaniment influenced the temporal grouping structure of the right-hand melody in the same way when it was performed by the self or by the duet partner, providing some support for the action corepresentation hypothesis. In contrast, accompaniment complexity had little influence on temporal coordination measures (asynchronies and cross-correlations between parts). Temporal coordination measures were influenced by a priori similarities between partners' preferred rates; partners who had similar preferred rates in solo performance were better synchronized and showed mutual adaptation to each other's timing during duet performances. These findings extend previous findings of action corepresentation and action simulation to a task that requires precise temporal coordination of independent yet simultaneous actions.

Humans have a striking ability to coordinate their actions with each other to achieve joint goals. The tight interpersonal coordination that characterizes joint actions is achieved through processes that help with preparing for joint action as well as processes that are active while joint actions are being performed. To prepare for joint action, partners form representations of each other’s actions and tasks and the relation between them. This enables them to predict each other’s upcoming actions, which, in turn, facilitates coordination. While performing joint actions, partners’ coordination is maintained by (a) monitoring whether individual and joint outcomes correspond to what was planned, (b) predicting partners’ action parameters on the basis of familiarity with their individual actions, (c) communicating task-relevant information unknown to partners in an action-based fashion, and (d) relying on coupling of predictions through dense perceptual-information flow between coactors. The next challenge for the field of joint action is to generate an integrated perspective that links coordination mechanisms to normative, evolutionary, and communicative frameworks.

We deal with n-player coordination games with vanishing actions, which are repeated games where all non-diagonal entries yield zero-payoffs, and where, moreover, at any stage beyond ri any player i loses any action that she has not used during the previous ri stages of play. For these games we examine the set of equilibrium rewards, where we treat the two-player case and the more player case separately. Folk-theorem like results are established.

Texto completoResumen
The issue of bimanual temporal coordination in human subjects is discussed for three selected movement paradigms: (i) simple, symmetric, bimanual finger movements, (ii) bimanual unloading, and (iii) a complex bimanual pull and grasp task. Temporal synchronization was found for all three experiments and was least variable for the first experiment. In the second experiment, synchronization concerned unloading with the index finger of one hand (electromyographic activation of the first dorsal interosseus muscle) and the postural adjustment of the load-bearing index finger of the other hand (electromyographic deactivation of the first dorsal interosseus muscle). In the third experiment, a goal-related temporal invariance was observed, even in the absence of visual guidance. Possible neural mechanisms for the observed temporal coordination of the three types of bimanual movements are discussed, as well as the concepts of goal invariance and motor equivalence.Key words: bimanual coordination, temporal invariance, motor equivalence.

The coordination function of the State in combating corruption is the level of manifestation of the State influence in social relations and the main activity of the State, which consists in coordinating actions between different elements of the State apparatus in combating corruption, in coordinating actions between the State apparatus and non-governmental actors of the social system, in streamlining social and public administration relations, directing them towards achieving common goals or interests, and in which the method of direct imperative control is used rather than the method of coordinating actions in relation to based on common interests and/or competencies, in accordance with the principle of striving for ideal performance.
 Anti-corruption activities can only be effective if the principles of coordination of anti-corruption actors are established at the regulatory level and the principles of administrative and legal support for coordination of anti-corruption actors are established, which is due to the need for quick and complete coordination and its effective implementation.
 The need to study the principles of administrative and legal regulation of the State's coordination function in combating corruption is due to the existence of gaps in the theoretical plane of law cognition and limited scientific substantiation. That is why the issues related to administrative and legal regulation of the State's coordination function in combating corruption are relevant for research, and its principles are among the key ones in this context.
 In general, the coordination role of the state is hardly ever considered through the prism of principles. Given the extremely low level of scientific attention to the issue of administrative and legal support for the coordination of anticorruption actors, its essence, features and directions, one of the priority tasks should be to define a system of principles of this institution as the basic and initial idea of the entire system of state influence on social relations. Even today, the principles of administrative and legal support for the coordination of anti-corruption actors are not yet considered fundamental categories, as many scholars still perceive them in the abstract and separately from practical activities.

The results suggest that beginners dominated coordination, performed individually, while the highly skilled dancers better developed coordination, carried out in pairs. Athletes average individual coordination disturbed by the emergence of sex differences build movements and coordination pair is not formed. The asymmetry of the coordination abilities manifested in the predominance of the deviation from equilibrium (to the right of men and to the left – in women). In this case, the athletes of low and medium level of skill to maintain the leading element of balance and coordination is the visual analyzer, while the skilled dancers defining role goes to the vestibular apparatus.

Human interaction often requires simultaneous precision and flexibility in the coordination of rhythmic behaviour between individuals engaged in joint activity, for example, playing a musical duet or dancing with a partner. This review article addresses the psychological processes and brain mechanisms that enable such rhythmic interpersonal coordination. First, an overview is given of research on the cognitive-motor processes that enable individuals to represent joint action goals and to anticipate, attend and adapt to other's actions in real time. Second, the neurophysiological mechanisms that underpin rhythmic interpersonal coordination are sought in studies of sensorimotor and cognitive processes that play a role in the representation and integration of self- and other-related actions within and between individuals' brains. Finally, relationships between social–psychological factors and rhythmic interpersonal coordination are considered from two perspectives, one concerning how social-cognitive tendencies (e.g. empathy) affect coordination, and the other concerning how coordination affects interpersonal affiliation, trust and prosocial behaviour. Our review highlights musical ensemble performance as an ecologically valid yet readily controlled domain for investigating rhythm in joint action.

ABSTRACT Providing rapid and humane care for distressed or threatened marine mammals is crucial to the ultimate success of such actions. Recently, in the southeast United States, marine mammals were observed in the vicinity of several oil spills. Proper coordination of marine mammal rescue or recovery actions with the Unified Command (UC) is essential for response personnel safety and increased probability of saving the affected animals. In the event of animal mortalities, effective coordination between the marine mammal resource agencies and the UC helps ensure the preservation of causal evidence. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration'S (NOAA'S) Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), generally through the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC), is able to assist the Federal On-Scene Coordinator (FOSC) and UC in addressing the threat of spilled oil on potentially affected marine mammals. Response actions during recent spills included: documenting the animals’ type and location, notification of the marine mammal agencies and teams responsible for their recovery and care, and coordination between the spill response and the marine mammal response. The actions of responders during recent spills involving marine mammals are summarized and relevant issues discussed, including properly characterizing the threat to marine mammals from spilled oil. The recent oil spill responses involving marine mammals in the southeastern U.S. are applicable to future spills throughout the United States and potentially worldwide. These recent incidents underscore the need to fully understand and plan for high profile wildlife issues during oil spill responses.

 Decentralized partially observable Markov decision processes (Dec-POMDPs) are general models for decentralized multi-agent decision making under uncertainty. However, they typically model a problem at a low level of granularity, where each agent's actions are primitive operations lasting exactly one time step. We address the case where each agent has macro-actions: temporally extended actions that may require different amounts of time to execute. We model macro-actions as options in a Dec-POMDP, focusing on actions that depend only on information directly available to the agent during execution. Therefore, we model systems where coordination decisions only occur at the level of deciding which macro-actions to execute. The core technical difficulty in this setting is that the options chosen by each agent no longer terminate at the same time. We extend three leading Dec-POMDP algorithms for policy generation to the macro-action case, and demonstrate their effectiveness in both standard benchmarks and a multi-robot coordination problem. The results show that our new algorithms retain agent coordination while allowing high-quality solutions to be generated for significantly longer horizons and larger state-spaces than previous Dec-POMDP methods. Furthermore, in the multi-robot domain, we show that, in contrast to most existing methods that are specialized to a particular problem class, our approach can synthesize control policies that exploit opportunities for coordination while balancing uncertainty, sensor information, and information about other agents.

Introduction Care Coordination Programs are designed to streamline services for older adults with multimorbidity. The Triple Aim, a conceptual model for the design and evaluation of healthcare models, stipulates that a balance of three aims—reducing costs, improving population health, and improving patient experience—are needed for high-quality, value-based care. Research is beginning to show that coordinating care across the continuum of care reduces costs and improves the health of the multimorbid older adult population. Yet little is known about older adults’ experience of care and their overall assessment of interactions with healthcare providers across the length of time of these interactions in a Care Coordination Program. Methods To gain a deeper understanding of older adults’ experience with a Care Coordination Program, this concurrent mixed methods research study analyzed 201 older adults’ assessment of their chronic illness care using the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC+). A subset of 30 older adults also participated in a telephone interview to collect qualitative data. Results The experience of older adults with multimorbidity in a Care Coordination Program was related to two factors: (1) professional actions and (2) professional attitudes. Actions that improved patients’ experience of care were communication, coordination, and addressing fundamental problems. Professional attitudes that improved their experience of care included being compassionate, knowledgeable and professional, mutually respectful, and positive and encouraging. Discussion To improve patient experience, Care Coordination Programs must design and measure their efforts related to the actions and the attitudes of their care team, especially primary care physicians and care coordinators.

The mechanisms of coordination of anti-collision measures of ships are systematized and analyzed. The main of these mechanisms is COLREG, which regulates the actions of two vessels. It is shown that non-regulated coordination used in addition to COLREG is based on the standardized qualification of ship operators and includes knowledge of good seamanship recommendations. In the analysis of mechanisms of binary coordination, the classification of situations of ships' approach is clarified, and principles of a choice of actions general for ships of the same and different navigation statuses in free and constrained waters at normal visibility are highlighted. Ways of reception of numerical values of restrictions on parameters of passing targets in different sailing conditions are offered. It is noted that in order to solve the problem of automation of collision prevention processes, radar-AIS technologies should be supplemented with video camera technologies in the visible and infrared range combined with computer vision. The role of communication in vessel actions coordination has been analyzed. Proposals for its improvement given the achievements in the field of scientific and technological progress are elaborated. It is recommended to use AIS alerts of planned evasive trajectory to decrease uncertainty in the collision prevention process. To reduce the volume of these notifications, it is proposed to replace the segments of changes in motion parameters with time-equivalent segments of rectilinear uniform motion sections. It gets rid of transmitting data characterizing the manoeuvrability of a ship and planned modes of course or/and speed change, and practically does not worsen the assessment of the safety of the measures selected to avoid a collision. The received information allows the ship to present the trajectory of the giving way vessel on the screen in graphical form, both in true and relative motion. Using this capability allows the first ship to quickly assess the safety of the second vessel's planned operations. Keywords: collision avoidance, coordination mechanisms, anti-collision plans, mapping of evasive trajectories.

Texto completoResumen
The majority of investigations on coordinated action have focused on temporal constraints in movements. Recent studies have demonstrated spatial constraints when the hands produce different trajectory shapes simultaneously. The focus of the current study was to determine whether spatial coupling occurs in individual parameters of the actions, or whether the shapes per se undergo accommodation. Subjects were tested on a bimanual paradigm to investigate the nature of spatial constraints in complex tasks. Shape and size of the required trajectories were varied for the two limbs. When trajectories that require different shapes were assigned to the two hands, disruption in the spatial characteristics of the trajectories was observed. Disruption in the global patterns of the trajectories could be described on the basis of coupling in individual parameters of action, direction, and amplitude, which could be inferred by decomposing the trajectories into orthogonal components. Amplitude accommodation in these orthogonal components of motion increased linearly with the difference in required amplitude for the two limbs. Interpretations of these effects suggest that directional coupling is a result of interference between two different response plans, whereas amplitude coupling may be related to either planning or execution variables. These results strongly suggest the need for further investigation of the spatial domain of complex coordinated action.

Behavioral coordination is a fundamental element of human cooperation. It is facilitated when individuals represent not only their own actions but also those of their partner. Identifying whether action corepresentation is unique to humans or also present in other species is therefore necessary to fully understand the evolution of human cooperation. We used the auditory joint Simon task to assess whether action corepresentation occurs in common marmosets, a monkey species that engages extensively in coordinated action during cooperative infant care. We found that marmosets indeed show a joint Simon effect. Furthermore, when coordinating their behavior in the joint task, they were more likely to look at their partner than in a joint control condition. Corepresentation is thus not unique to humans but also present in the cooperatively breeding marmosets. Since marmosets are small-brained monkeys, our results suggest that routine coordination in space and time, rather than complex cognitive abilities, plays a role in the evolution of corepresentation.

Abstract: reveals the scientificpotential of the study of issues of coordination in law. The emphasis is placed on the need for a general theoretical development of the problem of legal coordination. The practical problems of legal coordination in public and private law are given. Some aspects of the patterns and specifics of coordination of individual actions (procedures) are analyzed. In particular, the procedures for coordinating a public event, consent to making transactions and agreeing separable improvements of the leased property are subject to reflection. It is revealed how, by agreeing on a transaction with a state body or a local government body, public authority is “wedged” into civillaw relations. There are defects and ways to improve the current legislation on coordination. Indicates offenses and abuses in the field of legal coordination. The conclusion is made about the need for a comprehensive scientific knowledge of legal coordination.

The design of reinforcement learning solutions to many problems artificially constrain the action set available to an agent, in order to limit the exploration/sample complexity. While exploring, if an agent can discover new actions that can break through the constraints of its basic/atomic action set, then the quality of the learned decision policy could improve. On the flipside, considering all possible non-atomic actions might explode the exploration complexity. We present a novel heuristic solution to this dilemma, and empirically evaluate it in grid navigation tasks. In particular, we show that both the solution quality and the sample complexity improve significantly when basic reinforcement learning is coupled with action discovery. Our approach relies on reducing the number of decision points, which is particularly suited for multiagent coordination learning, since agents tend to learn more easily with fewer coordination problems (CPs). To demonstrate this we extend action discovery to multi-agent reinforcement learning. We show that Joint Action Learners (JALs) indeed learn coordination policies of higher quality with lower sample complexity when coupled with action discovery, in a multi-agent box-pushing task.

This paper is one of the four interrelated action agenda papers resulting from the National Summit on Public Health Legal Preparedness (Summit) convened in June 2007 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and multi-disciplinary partners. Each of the action agenda papers deals with one of the four core elements of public health legal preparedness: laws and legal authorities; competency in using those laws; coordination of law-based public health actions; and information. Options presented in this paper are for consideration by policy makers and practitioners — in all jurisdictions and all relevant sectors and disciplines — with responsibilities for all-hazards emergency preparedness.Advancing and protecting the public's health depends upon the coordination of actions by many, diverse partners. For effective public health preparedness, there must be effective coordination of legal tools and law-based strategies across local, state, tribal, and federal jurisdictions, and also across sectors such as public health, health care, emergency management, education, law enforcement, community design, and academia.

The article is devoted to the study of the activities of the penal enforcement system for the implementation of certain areas of its activities from the point of view of coordination capabilities as one of the general management functions. Through the analysis of individual departmental regulations, some modern approaches are demonstrated within the framework of using the possibility of coordinating activities in solving complex tasks, both external and internal. Attention is paid to various theoretical, legal and applied issues of the implementation of the coordination function when compared with other related categories. Various aspects of the category «coordination» are considered on the basis of the author's formulation of the general and organizational principles inherent in it, the allocation of individual rights of coordinating bodies and the proposal of options for coordination actions. As a conclusion, it is noted that the effectively implemented coordination function in relation to the activities of the penitentiary system and any other state body in modern conditions is one of the significant factors of their stable functioning.

ABSTRACTRecent work by Joseph Raz, Niko Kolodny, and Sergio Tenenbaum suggest that there are no normative constraints peculiar to intentions as such. Such constraints are a myth. We can understand the rationality of intention without positing that intention is a mental state. I argue that, further, we can understand the descriptive nature of intention (i.e., its role in intrapersonal coordination) without positing that intention is a mental state. Such a posit is itself a myth. Instead, intention is an action with certain characteristic sub-actions that play a coordinating role.

AbstractWe identify a social phenomenon in which large numbers of people seem to work towards a shared goal without explicitly trying to do so. We argue that this phenomenon – implicit coordination – is best understood as a form of joint agency differing from the forms most commonly discussed in the literature in the same way that individual actions driven by “explicit” intentions (those available for reflection and report) differ from individual actions driven by “implicit” intentions (those not thus available). More precisely, implicit coordination is both analogous to wholly implicit individual intentions, and constituted by the partly implicit intentions of participants. We discuss the significance of this category for action theory, social ontology, and social criticism.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the obstacles and challenges faced by managers and coordination professionals in their practices in municipal coordinating centers. METHODS: An exploratory descriptive study with a qualitative focus, applied in 40 managers and coordination professionals, from September 2017 to November 2018, with semi-structured interviews, resulting in two categories of analysis: limiting factors and factors that facilitate the management and operationalization of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) coordinating sector. RESULTS: Analyzing the statements, we found evidence of the following limiting factors: failure in the criteria of referral, unavailability of beds, high demand, systemic difficulties in relation to the coordinating system, procedures of difficult scheduling and execution, increased repressed demand for elective procedures and difficulties in the flow of information between primary care and coordination. In the category of facilitating factors, the most significant possibilities were: expansion of the capability to know the user’s reality, improvement in primary care and increase in health financial resources, health training and education and restructuring, in addition to reorganizing internal coordinating procedures. CONCLUSION: The limiting factors of coordination show the need to promote actions that offer all SUS users full access to health services.

A method of multi-agent coordination with deferred asynchronous messaging in a distributed coordination space has been proposed. The method has been based on the concept of multi-agent conditional interaction. The method has used 1) a distributed coordination space in which agents move, 2) the rules of state transitions for the coordination space nodes depending on the movements of agents, 3) the rules of agents move and state transitions depending on the states of the coordination space nodes, 4) a multi-agent coordination game based on the coordination space and the rules. The coordination space has been implemented based on the distributed shared memory of agents. The rules have been applied by exchanging deferred asynchronous messages between agents through the distributed shared memory. The agent's decisions about movement in the coordination space and their consequences are interpreted according to the rules in asynchronous messages. Delivery of messages to other agents has been deferred until these agents visit the corresponding nodes of the coordination space. This has ensured 1) mutual exclusion when agents choose conflicting actions, and 2) resilience of multi-agent coordination to agent failures and loss of coordinating messages. Four multi-agent coordination games have been considered as examples. The issue of fault tolerance of the proposed coordination method has been considered. The simulation results show that the use of the method ensures the resilience of multi-agent coordination to agent failures in the considered coordination games.

The article discusses the role of coordination in the development of tourism and in increasing social and economic benefits of tourism activities. Defined is the concept of "coordination" with regard to tourism activities. The article examines levels of coordination in tourism: global (international), national, regional (local). The author suggests the definition of the concept of "coordination mechanism improving the socio-economic benefits of tourism activities." The article considers its practical manifestation in the regions of the Baikal area (Irkutsk region and the Republic of Buryatia), demonstrating that, despite the presence in these tourist destinations of public and private institutions that are able to coordinate the sphere of recreation and tourism, the effects of coordination mechanisms in these regions are different. That is, the effective coordination of tourist activity presupposes not only forms of coordination, but also some attributes to characterize an effective coordination mechanism. Defined are the attributes of effective coordination mechanism, which include: the ability of the central coordinating unit to coordinate goals, business processes and actions of actors in sphere of recreation and tourism; the presence of a single information system, which determines the method for producing and distributing information among actors in the sphere of recreation and tourism; adequate organizational structure of the central coordinating unit; the overall strategy of forming relationships between actors in the sphere of recreation and tourism; a system for monitoring coordination; informal relations. The author conducts an analysis of the relevant coordination mechanisms to improve the socio-economic benefits of tourism activities in the Irkutsk region and the Republic of Buryatia. It is concluded that to improve the socio-economic benefits of tourism activities there is a need for not only a coordinating mechanism per se, but also its corresponding efficient attribute.

Texto completoResumen
The article develops the mechanism of hierarchical-reflexive coordination of communications at the enterprise, which involves coordinating the actions of management agents in the process of interactions. It was established that in the process of implementation of the mechanism of hierarchical coordination of communications, the interests of agents are coordinated in the horizontal and vertical directions. Accordingly, two types of reflection are used: informational (horizontal coordination) and strategic (vertical). The mutual influence of these types of reflection and the mismatch of the interests of agents within the hierarchy levels lead to contradictions and conflicts of inter-level (vertical) interactions. It is proved that reflection serves as the central management of the enterprise, it is the same task of the administrative function of coordination, at the same time, the task of coordination is the reflection of decisions that are taken as part of their coordination functions. Moreover, due to reflection there is a certain selection, filtering of management information, and coordination in turn serves as a managerial task that allows the company to move in the chosen direction

Purpose This paper aims to examine how managers use planning meetings to coordinate their actions in light of an uncertain future. Existing literature suggests that coordination under uncertainty requires a “dynamic” approach to planning, which is often realized in the form of rolling forecasts and frequent cross-functional exchange. Not so much is known, however, about the micro-level process through which coordination is achieved. This paper suggests that a sensemaking perspective and a focus on “planning talk” are particularly helpful to understand how actors come to a shared understanding of an uncertain future, based upon which they can coordinate their actions. Design/methodology/approach This paper builds upon a qualitative case study in the Austrian production site of an international manufacturing company. Drawing on a sensemaking perspective, the paper analyses monthly held “planning meetings” in which sales and production managers discuss sales forecasts for the coming months and talk about how to align demand and supply. Findings The authors show how collective sensemaking unfolds in planning meetings and highlight the role that “plausibilization” of expectations, “calculative reasoning” and “filtering” of information play in this process. This case analysis also sheds light on the challenges that such a sensemaking process may be subject to. In particular, this paper finds that competing hierarchical accountabilities may influence the collective sensemaking process and render coordination more challenging. Originality/value The paper contributes to the hitherto limited management accounting and control literature on operational planning, especially its coordination function. It also extends the management accounting and control literature that draws on the concept of sensemaking. The study shows how actors involved in planning meetings create a common understanding of the current and future situation and what sensemaking mechanisms facilitate this process. In this respect, this paper is particularly interested in the role that accounting and other types of numbers can play in this context. Furthermore, it theorizes on the conditions that allow managers to overcome concerns with hierarchical accountabilities and enact socializing forms of accountability, which is often necessary to come to agreements on actions to be taken.

AbstractDonor proliferation and the fragmentation of aid delivery is an important problem besetting foreign aid policy. Increased donor coordination is widely seen as a fix to this problem. This article explores theoretically and empirically the collective action problems and incentives that donors face when coordinating their actions, based on the distinction between private and public goods properties of aid. I introduce the concept of lead donorship, develop a measure that accounts for the exclusive and long-lasting ties between a lead donor and a recipient country, and show that lead donorship is in long-term decline. I test my theory combining spatial autoregressive (SAR) models, nonparametric model discrimination techniques, and data on aid delivery channels. I recover evidence of collusion in the provision of private goods aid in the presence of a lead donor, and lack of coordination and competition in the absence of a lead donor.

Human social coordination is often mediated by language. Through verbal dialogue, people direct each other’s attention to properties of their shared environment, they discuss how to jointly solve problems, share their introspections, and distribute roles and assignments. In this article, we propose a dynamical framework for the study of the coordinative role of language. Based on a review of a number of recent experimental studies, we argue that shared symbolic patterns emerge and stabilize through a process of local reciprocal linguistic alignment. Such patterns in turn come to facilitate and refine social coordination by enabling the alignment, joint construction and navigation of conceptual models and actions. Implications of the framework are illustrated and discussed in relation to a case study where dyads of interlocutors interact verbally to reach joint decisions in a perceptual discrimination task. Keywords: social coordination; language; communication; linguistic alignment; symbolic patterns; affordances; emergence; evolution; adaptivity; interaction

The appropriate level of coordination motor skills (CMS) in a football player is one of the factors determining the effectiveness of their actions. Adaptability and complex reaction time are of particular importance in models of coordination requirements in football. The lead aim of this study is to determine the relationship between two selected coordination motor skills and the offensive, defensive and comprehensive effectiveness of an individual player’s actions. The study was conducted on a group of 91 Polish male football players aged 20 to 31 years, all in the senior age category. The research tools included: a test assessing motor adaptation (research by dribbling the ball with the dominant leg), psychomotor test of complex reaction time (tested with an S-10.2 measuring device) and a test of the effectiveness of an individual player’s actions (one-on-one simulation game). The conducted research indicated that adaptability and complex reaction time are both important abilities for success when attacking in an individual game, and in the assessment of a comprehensive index of individual competences in a one-on-one football game. However, the most significant factor influencing the effectiveness of a player’s defensive action is solely the complex reaction time.

The judicious use of abstraction can help planning agents to identify key interactions between actions, and resolve them, without getting bogged down in details. However, ignoring the wrong details can lead agents into building plans that do not work, or into costly backtracking and replanning once overlooked interdependencies come to light. We claim that associating systematically-generated summary information with plans' abstract operators can ensure plan correctness, even for asynchronously-executed plans that must be coordinated across multiple agents, while still achieving valuable efficiency gains. In this paper, we formally characterize hierarchical plans whose actions have temporal extent, and describe a principled method for deriving summarized state and metric resource information for such actions. We provide sound and complete algorithms, along with heuristics, to exploit summary information during hierarchical refinement planning and plan coordination. Our analyses and experiments show that, under clearcut and reasonable conditions, using summary information can speed planning as much as doubly exponentially even for plans involving interacting subproblems.

The article examines the essence and features of coordination as a mechanism for implementing the concept of multi-level governance, the definition of methodological approaches to the use of methods and means of horizontal and vertical coordination in the system of multi-level governance in Ukraine. It was found that the complex mechanism of coordination in the multi-level management system is based on the applied aspect of the hierarchy of coordination goals and involves the use of a number of methods and means of achieving its goals based on the principles of coordination, which should include: interconnection and simultaneity, hierarchical subordination, coordination, balance, balance, redundancy, unity of commands and actions, etc. At the same time, the methods and means of coordination can be such as: visa and other forms of mutual control, distribution of tasks according to the management hierarchy, creation of committees and commissions, meetings between departments, dissemination of information, negotiations, direct observation, development of rules, procedures, schedules, norms, plans, etc. On the basis of research concerning coordination mechanisms in complex hierarchical systems, it was determined that the triune coordination system is based on: restrictions - narrowing of the set of known connections, which includes: instructions (norms) and standardization (sets of standard operations); informing - expansion of the set of known connections, which includes: vertical and horizontal communications using the entire set of available information and forms of communications; purely coordination - it is based on a balance between narrowing and expanding a set of known connections, which allows you to use reference information and focus it on the performance of certain tasks (from the decomposition of the general task) in order to fulfill certain indicators (criteria) with the help of both standard operations and and other forms of communications. Using the process and project approach in establishing effective coordination, the process of algorithmization and the demonstration of a step-by-step algorithm for solving complex problems to the subjects of program implementation and project executors with the receipt of feedback from this link in the form of finding out how much is quite important tasks are adequate from the point of view of coordination with executors in conditions of multitasking regarding priorities, availability of resources, deadlines, etc. At the same time, a condition for solving complex problems with the help of establishing an effective coordination system is their decomposition into appropriate sub-tasks and the selection of adequate methods and means of their solution in the specified time. It is proven that the improvement of the complex mechanism of coordination between all subjects of institutional interaction is an important component of solving practical problems of multi-level management. As for the role of the coordinator, who is a key subject of the hierarchical system responsible for coordinating the activities of various decision-making centers, he should emphasize and focus not on the current state of the coordination objects of the lower level, but on specific, primarily intermediate results of their work , determined in the form of certain indicators at the corresponding stages of the implementation of programs and projects for a clear period of time. This will make it possible to increase the effectiveness of coordination and make reasoned decisions related to the choice of the current coordinating action depending on the tactical situation in conditions of uncertainty.

This two-part paper deals with the coordination of the control actions in a network of many interacting components, where each component is controlled by independent control agents. As a case study we consider voltage control in large electric power systems where ever-increasing pressures from the liberalization and globalization of the electricity market has led to partitioning the power system into multiple areas each operated by an independent Transmission System Operator (TSO). Coordination of local control actions taken by those TSOs is a very challenging problem as poorly coordinated operation of TSOs may endanger the power system security by increasing the risk of blackouts. This second part of the paper presents simulation results on a 12-bus 3-area test system, using the distributed model predictive control paradigm in order to design a coordinating model-based feedback controller. Coordination requires that each agent has some information on what the future evolution of its power flows to and from its neighbors will be. It will be shown that how the communication between agents can avoid voltage collapse in circumstances where classical uncoordinated controllers fail.

Three core concepts, activity-dependent coupling, the composition of muscle synergies, and Hebbian adaptation, are discussed with a view to illustrating the nature of the constraints imposed by the organization of the central nervous system on the changes in muscle coordination induced by training. It is argued that training invoked variations in the efficiency with which motor actions can be generated influence the stability of coordination by altering the potential for activity-dependent coupling between the cortical representations of the focal muscles recruited in a movement task and brain circuits that do not contribute directly to the required behavior. The behaviors that can be generated during training are also constrained by the composition of existing intrinsic muscle synergies. In circumstances in which attempts to produce forceful or high velocity movements would otherwise result in the generation of inappropriate actions, training designed to promote the development of control strategies specific to the desired movement outcome may be necessary to compensate for protogenic muscle recruitment patterns. Hebbian adaptation refers to processes whereby, for neurons that release action potentials at the same time, there is an increased probability that synaptic connections will be formed. Neural connectivity induced by the repetition of specific muscle recruitment patterns during training may, however, inhibit the subsequent acquisition of new skills. Consideration is given to the possibility that, in the presence of the appropriate sensory guidance, it is possible to gate Hebbian plasticity and to promote greater subsequent flexibility in the recruitment of the trained muscles in other task contexts.

Introduction: in modern Russian society, the fight against crime requires the legislative regulation. Crime is a multifaceted phenomenon that is becoming more complex in parallel with the development of society. Its growth makes it necessary to research the fundamentals of the theory and practice of coordinating the activities of the law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime. The important factors from the point of view of the state of coordination activities are their proper organizational support, the development of the right strategies and tactics when performing the necessary actions, as well as their effective use by the law enforcement agencies to curb criminal activity. The authors of the paper set the goal of the study, which is to analyze the coordination activities of the law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime. Methods: the methodological framework for the research is the dialectical-materialistic method of cognition, which includes the elements of system analysis, and the specific scientific methods, such as the logical and legal one. Results: based on the legal analysis, the content of coordination activities as the effective coordinated actions in the fight against crime is revealed. Conclusions: it is revealed that there is a need to adopt a special law aimed at improving the status of prosecutors in the framework of these coordination activities.

In a regime change game, privately informed agents sequentially decide whether to attack without observing others’ previous actions. To dissuade them from attacking, a principal adopts a dynamic information disclosure policy, frequent viability tests. A viability test publicly discloses whether the regime has survived the previous attacks. When such tests are sufficiently frequent, in the unique cutoff equilibrium, agents never attack if the regime passes the latest test, regardless of their private signals. We apply this theory to demonstrate that a borrower can eliminate panic-based runs by sufficiently diffusing the rollover choices across different maturity dates. (JEL C72, D82, G21)

We consider an evolutionary model of social coordination in a 2 × 2 game where two groups of players prefer to coordinate on different actions. Players can pay a cost to learn their opponent’s group: if they pay it, they can condition their actions concerning the groups. We assess the stability of outcomes in the long run using stochastic stability analysis. We find that three elements matter for the equilibrium selection: the group size, the strength of preferences, and the information’s cost. If the cost is too high, players never learn the group of their opponents in the long run. If one group is stronger in preferences for its favorite action than the other, or its size is sufficiently large compared to the other group, every player plays that group’s favorite action. If both groups are strong enough in preferences, or if none of the groups’ sizes is large enough, players play their favorite actions and miscoordinate in inter-group interactions. Lower levels of the cost favor coordination. Indeed, when the cost is low, in inside-group interactions, players always coordinate on their favorite action, while in inter-group interactions, they coordinate on the favorite action of the group that is stronger in preferences or large enough.

Coordination theories are characterized primarily by a focus on integration, in which coordination is aimed at achieving a coherent and unified set of actions. However, in the extreme settings in which fast-response organizations operate, achieving integration is often challenging. In this study we employ a fragmentation perspective to show that dealing with ambiguity and discontinuity is not only inevitable for these organizations, it is a key characteristic of coordinating. We undertook an inductive, qualitative field study on how officers in command from the fire department, medical services, and police coordinate during emergency response operations. Our data are based on a four-year multi-site field study of 40 emergency management exercises in the Netherlands, combined with 56 retrospective interviews. Our inductive analysis of this data shows that officers use three coordination practices to deal with ambiguity and discontinuity: working around procedures, delegating tasks, and demarcating expertise. We theorize our findings by showing how these practices lead to conditions in which fragmentation can become an effective method of coordination. In doing so, we provide a more complete understanding of the process of coordinating in fast-response settings that will benefit both crisis management practice and organizational theory.

Abstract This study adds to a new area of research that seeks to harmonize language pedagogies in classrooms and language learning in virtual environments. Harmonious languaging uses co-actional and symmetrical structural dynamics to compare three environments in a Chinese school: a baseline traditional classroom using textbooks, the virtual space of Quest Atlantis Quest Atlantis has recently changed its name to Atlantis Remixed (http://atlantisremixed.org), and a comparable class using print-based handouts. Each has a different design and thus features, and we show that these affect languaging. We found languaging styles that were contingent upon a) the teacher (e.g. answering questions, correcting, inquiring, repeating, and writing in the form of note-taking), b) Quest Atlantis virtual material artifacts (e.g. individuating multiscalar coordination between reading and writing), and c) the teacher and the handout (e.g. answering questions, self-expressing, and reflection). These styles are important for pedagogy. In our view, the field neglects the harmonious languaging style that arises around virtual worlds. There is lack of engagement with language-as-part-of-nonlinguistic-action. From the distributed view, we show an example of how foreign language learning is facilitated in an experiential domain where verbal patterns are evaluated immediately in the coordination of reading and writing, for which avatar actions, link-clicking, and using dictionaries become other-oriented modes of ambient action.

Purpose: The research article is an extension of the concept related to logistics coordination in distribution networks. The concept of logistics coordination extends the flow mechanisms of network governance presented in the literature so far. The aim of the article is to conceptualize logistics coordination as a set of network coordination flow mechanisms that are to strengthen the resilience of the distribution network. Disruptions analysis was used to assess the resilience of the distribution network. Design/methodology/approach: The first stage of the research was to identify the gap in the research on network governance. The assumptions of logistic coordination indicated in the literature research were the basis for the methodology of empirical research. The research was carried out in the distribution network of household appliances/electronics. The resilience of the distribution network to disruptions was assessed. Disruptions and deviations in the implemented processes were identified on the measurement cards. In assessing the resilience of the network, indicators of timeliness, completeness and orders without damage were used. Subsequently, a cause and effect analysis and FMEA were carried out. The conducted research was completed with recommendations for the coordinator of flows in the distribution network. Findings: Recommendations for the coordinator of the household appliances/electronics distribution network include mechanisms for logistics coordination that strengthen the resilience of the network. Other mechanisms that the coordinator is already using have also been identified. Among the identified mechanisms are both proactive and reactive actions. The set of mechanisms, in accordance with the proposed concept of logistics coordination, includes mechanisms focused on flexible resources, redundancy of partners in the network, redundancy of stocks at the material distribution point, extraordinary transport and forecasting for the entire network. Originality/value: The indicated mechanisms, both those used by the coordinator and those proposed to be used to increase the resilience of the distribution network, go beyond the flow mechanisms proposed in network coordination. Thus, it makes sense to extend the flow mechanisms to include logistics coordination in the broadest sense, which aims to synchronise flows, ensure the continuity of the processes carried out and the coherence of the activities of the network nodes. Keywords: distribution network; network governance; logistic coordination; resilience, disruptions. Category of the paper: research paper.
