An inventory is a set of technical operations for obtaining reliable information about a site in order to prepare technical and descriptive documentation, presenting the current state of objects. One of the measurement technologies allowing for the acquisition of reliable and comprehensive information about a site is terrestrial laser scanning. A point cloud from terrestrial laser scanning generates both 2D surveys and 3D models of various types of objects. The scope of research work included the application of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology in the inventory of the Mechowo Caves -- a cave in the village of Mechowo. The survey of the area in front of the cave and its part accessible to visitors was carried out using a Leica P40 laser scanner. Due to the highly varied shape of the cave ( multiple low and narrow passages) and its unique character, the measurement had to be performed in a non-standard way -- with the use of numerous measuring stations with different combinations of measuring instrument settings and variable scanning parameters. As a result of the work, a point cloud was generated, based on which cross-sections presenting the spatial layout of the Mechowo Caves were created, as well as a 3D model of the area covered by the survey.

Cultural heritage analysis using Multispectral (MSI) and Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) has grown significantly since the early 21st century. This boom has been related to the development of digital imaging, with the appearance of cheaper and easier-to-use tools. This paper presents a comparative study between two multispectral imaging systems applied to interior design watercolours from the Arxiu Valencià del Disseny (AVD) at the Universitat de València (UV). For the comparison, the samples were registered with these two systems: one based on an adapted digital DSLR camera and another dedicated hyperspectral camera. One of the systems made it possible to combine multiband technical photography (TP) with MSI (405-920nm, 18 bands) and open-source software processing. The second, based on HSI in the VNIR region (400-1000nm, 204 bands), even though it was not preferable for art photographic registration, favoured the data acquisition and processing thanks to the proprietary software automatization mechanisms. Therefore, it was observed that spectral information, calibration, and data processing were more limited in one system than in the other. Finally, this comparison aims to expose considerations to take into account when purchasing this equipment, rating issues such as affordability, versatility of use, and obtaining data.

English is used in all parts of aviation, especially in aircraft maintenance, where all documentation and various manuals are written in this language. However, there are no formal requirements for aircraft mechanics to have a certain level of English. Nevertheless, aircraft mechanics must master their English language skills, since they are needed for managing their work tasks. This study deals with the issue of insufficiency of standardized English courses, and determines the English language needs of aircraft maintenance in the Slovak Republic, using a triangular approach. The gathered data from 80 respondents for this paper were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics, which were calculated by the means of Jamovi statistical software. The results revealed that aircraft mechanics engage most often in communication situations that require their knowledge of the reading skill. The importance of all language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) is proven by the determination of the most-common communication activities of aircraft mechanics, which should be included in specialized English courses. The results of this study are useful in the creation of language courses which increase the level of English in aircraft maintenance, thus, increasing safety in aviation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Featured Application: Based on data from a globally operating industrial company, this study demonstrated the benefits of VR to maintenance documentation review and risk assessment processes. Technical documentation creation is a collaborative process involving several departments in R&D. Even though virtual reality (VR) has been demonstrated to facilitate industrial collaboration and advance the product development lifecycle in earlier studies, it has not been utilized for technical documentation review and risk assessment processes in industrial companies. This article presents a case study where the benefits of VR to maintenance documentation reviews and risk assessments were studied. The virtual reality environment was tested by nine domain experts from an industrial company in a user study that replicated their actual real-life industrial collaboration tasks. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected during the study. Our findings show that collaborative VR has the potential to enhance the documentation review and risk assessment processes. Overall, the concept of using virtual reality for documentation review and risk assessment processes was rated positively by participants, and even though further development is needed for the review tools, VR was viewed as a concept that facilitates collaboration, enhances the current review practices, and increases spatial understanding. The benefits of VR are evident, especially for geographically scattered teams that rarely meet face-to-face or do not have access to the actual physical equipment. In cases where traditional means of communication are not enough, process improvements are needed for documentation review and risk assessment processes, and our proposed solution is VR.

Klimant, Philipp and Kollatsch, Christian
- Abstract
The maintenance process of machine tools becomes more complex and difficult due to its increasing complexity and individuality. Augmented reality (AR) can support the maintenance engineer by visualizing the process with individual working steps and further information in a user-friendly manner. In order to an efficient deployment, a short and automated creation process of the AR based documentation is required including the integration of existing systems and data such as the technical documentation, CAD models and PDM data. This avoids a complete rewriting and manual creation of the AR based documentation in addition to the standard paper-based version. Therefore, various concepts for creating AR based technical documentations for the maintenance of machine tools are presented and verified including an analysis of the required documentation data, systems and processes.

Featured Application: Based on data from multinational domain experts in the field of Industrial Maintenance, this study demonstrated the application cases and advantages of asymmetric VR set-up to address needs present in the industry. Virtual Reality (VR) is a critical emerging technology in industrial contexts, as it facilitates collaboration and supports the product development lifecycle. However, its broad adoption is constrained by complex and high-cost integration. The use of VR among devices with various immersion and control levels may solve this obstacle, and increase the scalability of VR technologies. This article presents a case study on applying asymmetry between the COVE-VR platform and Microsoft Teams to enable distributed collaboration of multinational departments and enhance the maintenance method and documentation creation processes. Overall, five remote collaborative sessions were held with 20 experts from four countries. Our findings suggest that asymmetry between head-mounted display and Teams users enhances the quality of communication among geographically dispersed teams and their spatial understanding, which positively influences knowledge transfer and efficiency of industrial processes. Based on qualitative evaluation of the asymmetric VR setup, we further suggest a list of guidelines on how to enhance the collaboration efficiency for low-cost distributed asymmetric VR from three perspectives: organization, collaboration and technology.

AVIATION mechanics (Persons) ,TECHNICAL English ,ACRONYMS ,AERONAUTICAL communications systems - Abstract
The aim of the paper is to analyse a terminological mechanism applied in choosing English words and phrases which are the basis for professional communication between airport aircraft mechanics of various nationalities. Correctly applied terminology facilitates successful communication and can contribute to reducing incidents arising from errors made during aircraft pre-flight preparation. Aircraft mechanics communicate not only by means of specialised terms and acronyms, but also by AECMA/ASD1 standardised Simplified Technical English for technical documentation purposes. Due to frequent text comprehension problems, common specific words have been selected according to the rule "one word - one meaning." Furthermore, English grammar has been simplified for successful international communication between aircraft mechanics. Thus, a specific communication tool has been created and is currently in global use, which indirectly contributes to flight safety. The author presents common trends applied in the process of terms selection in the working environment. She also emphasises the necessity of using clear and concise terminology in aviation communication. The author's observations can support aircraft mechanics' language training, and terminological as well as translation work. The article familiarises the reader with some key concepts of aircraft maintenance terminology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Technical documentation is evolving from static contents presented on paper or via digital publishing to real-time on-demand contents displayed via virtual and augmented reality (AR) devices. However, how best to provide personalized and context-relevant presentation of technical information is still an open field of research. In particular, the systems described in the literature can manage a limited number of modalities to convey technical information, and do not consider the 'people' factor. Then, in this work, we present a Context-Aware Technical Information Management (CATIM) system, that dynamically manages (1) what information as well as (2) how information is presented in an augmented reality interface. The system was successfully implemented, and we made a first evaluation in the real industrial scenario of the maintenance of a hydraulic valve. We also measured the time performance of the system, and results revealed that CATIM performs fast enough to support interactive AR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Knowing, understanding and implementing the European technical legislation is essential in the products development, design, manufacture and quality assurance. For each developed product, should be prepared a technical documentation. User instructions are an integral part of every product, therefore all those who want to sell their products, should learn how to write them. The aim of our work is to propose a universal concept for preparing user instructions to be used for any product, either small or complex. Specifications for the structure, content and presentation of user instructions are laid down in the IEC 82079-1 standard which provides a concept basis for writing user instructions. Chapter 1 in our paper presents the open issues, in machine safety, CE labeling and writing technical documentation. Chapter 2 explains the meaning of a technical communicator and presents the IEC 82079-1 standard, that defines the importance and the the content to be covered by the user instructions and gives guidelines that should be carefully followed when writing of the user instructions. Chapter 3 gives a reference to the template for the user manual and draws conclusions of our work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Previous research on user-generated content in technical communication focused primarily on non-traditional forms of technical communication outside of traditional institutions and organizations. User-generated content from the forum StackOverflow provides rich knowledge and stories behind problems faced by web and software developers. This study explores how technical communicators engage in this knowledge-rich content specific to web and software developers. Our findings provide insights into how researchers, instructors, and practicing technical communicators might leverage user-generated forum content in their work. Literature review: Previous research examined how user-generated content is a form of technical writing and technical editing. Furthermore, some research in technical communication has examined how technical user forums present a type of user-generated content to which technical communicators might add value. However, no research on user forums has explicitly examined how technical communicators engage in user forums to gain subject-matter familiarity or expertise. This study seeks to explore how technical communication students engage in user forums to troubleshoot coding problems. Research questions: 1. Are technical communication students able to successfully solve unfamiliar coding problems using user-generated content posted on the StackOverflow website? Are they able to identify the conceptual knowledge needed to solve the coding problem? 2. When learning about new, unfamiliar technical content, how do technical communication students search for information and decide which forum content to engage with? 3. Do technical communication students make meaning and actively fill knowledge gaps when they engage in new, unfamiliar technical content on StackOverflow? 4. After searching and reading through user-generated forum content to troubleshoot a coding task, do technical communication students feel confident enough in what they learned to teach someone else? Results: Most participants were unable to solve any of the coding problems using StackOverflow. Those who did successfully troubleshoot the coding problems exhibited more active scanning when selecting a search thread and made meaning of thread content more closely. Conclusions: Actively engaging and making meaning of thread content reveals insights into the stories behind the thread. These stories provide important details and clues for gaining subject-matter familiarity, but users must actively engage in meaning-making to access the stories and fill knowledge gaps. Practitioners and instructors can leverage content on StackOverflow to better understand coding problems. StackOverflow threads, along with other user-generated forum content, also give instructors insight into technical audiences and can be leveraged to teach students how to use primary research to better understand audiences. Researchers can continue to study how novice users interact with user-generated content by investigating how confidence levels affect meaning-making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tema ovog diplomskog rada su digitalizacija i izazovi digitalizacije šest tehničkih elaborata iz druge polovine 20. stoljeća (1964. – 1978.) ustupljenih od tvrtke KONČAR – Institut za elektrotehniku d.o.o. Imajući u vidu povijesnu i tehničku vrijednost, jedinstvenost, samo jedan primjerak – original i potrebu za širom dostupnosti istraživačima njihova digitalizacija je bila prijeko potrebna. Odabrana tema obrađena je kroz dva aspekta. Prvi dio je praktične prirode koji se sastoji od ispitivanja tehničkih mogućnosti opreme na raspolaganju i određivanje optimalnih parametara skeniranja, digitalizacije tehničkih elaborata, grafičke obrade skeniranih dokumenta i pripreme digitaliziranih elaborata za predaju u Informacijsko-dokumentacijski odjel (INDOK). U drugom dijelu rada prikazana je teorijska razrada na praktičnom primjeru u kojem se pojašnjavaju pojmovi specijalnih knjižnica i definiraju pojmovi sastavnih dijelova tehničkih elaborata, istražuju se povijest i razvoj Grupe Končar i odjela INDOK-a, objašnjava tehnička dokumentacija i od čega se ona sastoji, prikazuju se različite vrste i formati papira koji su korišteni, načini zapisivanja, starenje papira, izazovi digitalizacije, grafička obrada, zaštita, prijenos, pohrana, pregled, korištenje i održavanje digitalnog gradiva. Zaključak daje uvid u ostvarenje postavljenih ciljeva i daje preporuke za daljnju digitalizaciju tehničkih elaborata. The subject of this thesis is the digitization and challenges of digitization of a set of six technical documentations from the second half of the 20th century (1964. – 1978.) originating from and provided by the company KONČAR - Institute of Electrical Engineering d.o.o. Bearing in mind the historical and technical value, uniqueness, only one copy - the original and the need for wider availability to researchers, their digitization was very necessary. The selected topic is covered through two aspects. The first part is of a practical nature, which consists of testing technical capabilities of the available equipment and determining the optimal scanning parameters, digitization of technical documentation, post-processing and preparation of digitized documentation for submission to the Information and Documentation Department (INDOK). In the second part of the thesis, the theoretical elaboration is shown on a practical example, in which the concepts of special libraries are clarified and the concepts of the constituent parts of technical documentation are defined, the history and development of the Končar Group and the INDOK department is given and further the thesis provides detail analysis and explanations of what, technical documentation is and what it consists of, various types and formats of paper used, recording methods, aging of paper, digitization challenges, post-processing, protection, transfer, storage, access, use and preservation of digital materials. The conclusion provides an insight into the achievement of the set goals and provides recommendations for further digitization of technical documentation.

The nature of problems typically tackled in initial programming courses can lead students to dismiss problem solving techniques and processes. Faculty and students in Programming 1 and 2 classes are prone to focus on the mechanics and syntax of programming at the expense of building increasingly complex and realistic models of the solution. To motivate undergraduate students to accept the importance of flowcharts, pseudo-code, documentation, and other development tools, we present a series of active learning lessons for introductory programming classes built and tested at Valparaiso University. These lessons introduce development tools and problem solving as vital components of an overall solution and provide opportunities for students to see their value in real world applications. Following the lessons, 100% of the students recognized the importance of development tools, and 95% of the students identified a desire to learn more about how they can be used.

Because the industrial production requires the application of some transformation procedures on the material resources, so that a clothing product comes out with optimal use value in terms of maximum economic efficiency, one of the main influencial factors is the quality of the products. To make manufacturing processes more efficient, it is necessary to carry out the zero series in order to ensure the quality of the technological processes, as well as to prevent some design deficiencies. Among the main operations undertaken to ensure the quality of the zero series, we mention: creating the conditions for launch, tracking and finalizing the accompanying production documents under similar series production conditions; zero-series producers are usually the same workers who make up the series production line; equipping with the appropriate equipment and providing with necessary devices in order to create the technical conditions for the execution of the zero series; providing technical assistance in relation to manufacturing and control documentation for eliminating the design deficiencies. This paper presents the architecture of the zero series execution in manufacturing processes in the textile garment industry. The information obtained from the zero-series analysis is directed to the technical support, for possible corrections of the patterns according to which the products were manufactured.

According to research from Symantec, there is a gap of 312 days on average between the time an enterprise is compromised by a zero-day attack and the time the attack is discovered by the victim. This leaves an adversary with a lot of time to exfiltrate corporate IP. Recent work has suggested automatically generating multiple fake versions of a document to impose costs on the attacker who needs to correctly identify the original document from a set of mostly fake documents. But in the real world, documents contain many diverse components. In this paper, we focus on technical documents that often contain equations and present FEE, a framework to generate fake equations in such documents. FEE tries to preserve multiple aspects of a given equation when generating a fake. Moreover, FEE is very general and applies to diverse equational forms including polynomial equations, differential equations, transcendental equations, and more. FEE iteratively solves a complex, changing optimization problem inside it. We also present FEE-FAST, a fast approximate algorithm to solve the optimization problem within FEE. Using a panel of human subjects, we show that FEE achieves a high rate in deceiving sophisticated subjects.

005 ,Technical documentation ,Information design - Abstract
This work addresses the problem of the production of hypermedia documentation for applications that require high reliability, particularly technical documentation in safety critical industries. One requirement of this application area is for the availability of a task-based organisation, which can guide and monitor such activities as maintenance and repair. In safety critical applications there must be some guarantee that such sequences are correctly presented. Conventional structuring and design methods for hypermedia systems do not allow such guarantees to be made. A formal design method that is based on a process algebra is proposed as a solution to this problem. Design methods of this kind need to be accessible to information designers. This is achieved by use of a technique already familiar to them: the storyboard. By development of a storyboard notation that is syntactically equivalent to a process algebra a bridge is made between information design and computer science, allowing formal analysis and refinement of the specification drafted by information designers. Process algebras produce imperative structures that do not map easily into the declarative formats used for some hypermedia systems, but can be translated into concurrent programs. This translation process, into a language developed by the author, called ClassiC, is illustrated and the properties that make ClassiC a suitable implementation target discussed. Other possible implementation targets are evaluated, and a comparative illustration given of translation into another likely target, Java.

Grifa, Rosa Anna and Pozzoli, Giacomo
- Abstract
In this study, we summarize the drastic restrictions introduced in the last eight years within the European environmental legislation governing electro-medical devices, and highlight manufacturer's obligations to demonstrate compliance with these rules. On July 1, 2011, the recast of the Directive on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment (known as RoHS II) was published in the European Official Journal. This Directive, that within its scope, included medical devices (MDs) and in-vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDs), aimed to limit the amount of six toxic materials released into the environment through discarded electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). MDs and IVDs had to be RoHS II compliant from July 22, 2014 and July 22, 2016 respectively. On June 4, 2015, the EU Commission published RoHS III, a new Directive that limited the content of four additional substances belonging to the phthalates group. According to RoHS III, phthalates will be subject to restriction for all EEE, starting from July 22, 2019, with the exception of MDs and monitoring and control equipment which will need another two years. RoHS II is a CE marking Directive; therefore, manufacturers must adhere to its requirements both in technical documentation and in subsequent EU declaration of conformity before affixing the "CE" mark on their finished products. RoHS III is also a CE marking Directive that medical device manufacturers will have to apply starting from July 22, 2021. Although this seems a long time, manufacturers need to start meeting the RoHS III requirements by now to avoid the risk of being out of business for that date. • Electromedical-devices contain hazardous substances that partecipate in soil and groundwater pollution and cause health people risks. • The European Union has implemented a group of Directives aimed to eradicate certain hazardous substances from new EEE. • RoHS II added MDs and IVDs within its scope. RoHS II and RoHS III are CE marking Directives. • Manufacturers must provide technical documentation in order to demonstrate compliance with the RoHS requirements. • RoHS III will entry into force starting from July 22, 2021. Manufacturers must start meeting its requirements by now. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Natural language permits an enormous amount of expressive variation. Writers, especially technical writers, tend to develop special vocabularies (jargons), styles, and grammatical constructions. Technical language becomes opaque not just to ordinary readers, but to experts as well. The problem becomes particularly acute when such text is translated into another language, since the translator may not even be an expert in the technical domain. Controlled Languages (CL) have been developed to counter the tendency of writers to use unusual or overly-specialized, inconsistent language [1, Section 7.6]. Engineering professionals know that making text understandable is very challenging in domestic environment (Serbian language), and especially in an international environment (mostly English language). Simplified Serbian language could help in domestic environment. Simplified English language already helps in international environment. Simplified English is sometimes used as a generic term for a controlled language. Simplified English is the original name of a controlled language originally developed for aerospace industry to facilitate the use of maintenance manuals by engineers for whom English is not the native language. It is now officially known under its trademarked name as Simplified Technical English (STE). Although STE is developed for use in the aerospace and defense industries, other industries have used it as a basis for developing their own controlled English standards, which are mostly used for making appropriate technical documentation.

Modeling photovoltaic (PV) modules is fundamental for analyzing their efficiency and performance under different operating conditions. Generally, photovoltaic module modeling is based on a suitable equivalent circuit and a set of parameters representing the PV module's properties. Defining these parameters is not a trivial task, as they are usually not included in the technical documentation of the module. Therefore, the need to find suitable values for the model parameters becomes imperative. In this paper, we will test and compare two methods of extracting single-diode model (SDM) parameters: analytical and numerical, under standard test conditions (STC conditions). We examined the performance of six techniques: three analytical and three numerical. Except for Saleem technique, which tends to underestimate the I-V and P-V curves in the MPP zone, the results demonstrated that both approaches (analytical and iterative/numerical) are valid and accurate for predicting the I-V and P-V curves under STC conditions.

Bei dem Versuch einer fachfremden Person das Berufsbild einer Technischen Redakteurin oder eines Technischen Redakteurs zu erklären, wird einem zu Beginn großteils ein fragender Blick entgegnet. Erst die Erwähnung von Begriffen wie Montage- oder Betriebsanleitungen erwecken bei der Person ein Aha-Erlebnis. Die Technische Dokumentation ist ein spannendes Berufsfeld und ist für viele Unternehmen aus den Bereichen Software und Industrie ein wichtiger Bestandteil. Demzufolge gibt es auch viele Dienstleistungsunternehmen, die Dienstleistungen im Bereich der Technischen Dokumentationen für produzierende Unternehmen anbieten. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, erfolgversprechende Vertiefungsmöglichkeiten für ein Dienstleistungsunternehmen im Bereich der Technische Dokumentation aufzuzeigen und zu analysieren. Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wurde eine qualitative Studie über Dienstleistungsunternehmen im Bereich der Technischen Dokumentation durchgeführt. Dabei wurden im Rahmen einer empirischen Untersuchung neun Expertinnen und Experten aus der Dienstleistungsbranche der Technischen Dokumentation interviewt. Die Unternehmen der befragten Personen, welche in der DACH-Region niedergelassen sind, bieten Dienstleistungen im Bereich der Technischen Dokumentation an. Die Untersuchung hat ergeben, dass bei den Zielgruppen die Maschinenbaubranche mit mehr als 60 % die stärkste Zielgruppe der Expertinnen und Experten ist, und damit aktuell die erfolgversprechendste Zielgruppe sein dürfte. Bei den Tätigkeitsfeldern der Befragten hat sich herausgestellt, dass die beiden Bereiche Schulung/Beratung und das Erstellen von Nutzungsinformationen die stärksten sind. Zudem hat sich gezeigt, dass viele Kundinnen und Kunden den Wunsch äußern, eine automatisierte Dokumentations-Software zu besitzen, um variantenreiche Produkte schneller und effektiver beschreiben zu können. When trying to explain the job description of a technical writer to someone who is not a specialist in the field, most people start off with a questioning look. It is only when terms such as assembly or operating instructions are mentioned that the person gets an "aha" moment. Technical documentation is an exciting professional field which has become an important part of many manufacturing companies. Accordingly, there are also many service companies that create technical documentation for manufacturing companies. The fields of activity of a service company are comprehensive, accordingly it is difficult to cover all areas and to meet the demands of the customers. The focus of this work lies on the investigation of the different specializations of a service enterprise in the technical documentation, to be able to present a promising deepening possibility in further consequence. To answer the research question, a qualitative study of service companies in the field of technical documentation was conducted. In the process, nine experts from the technical documentation service industry were interviewed as part of an empirical study. The experts' answers showed that there are a wide variety of possibilities for specialization, and it was found that the field of mechanical engineering in particular is very promising for service companies. In addition to the classic creation of user information, it also became apparent that consulting and training as well as the area of translation management are in great demand among customers. It has also been shown that many customers express the desire to have automated documentation to describe variant-rich products more quickly and effectively. Due to the complex nature of technical documentation, it is advisable for service providers to specialize to meet the quality requirements of their customers.

NINA Rapport 2230. Norsk institutt for naturforskning. Som en del av arbeidet med ivaretakelse av biologisk mangfold i Norge overvåkes hekkebestander av terrestriske fuglearter i et nettverk av lokaliteter fordelt over hele Norge (Framstad & Kålås 2001). Prosjektet «Norsk hekkefuglovervåking» (tidligere TOV-E) startet i 2005, og i perioden 2005-2010 ledet BirdLife Norge og NINA arbeidet med å etablere takseringsnettverket over hele landet. For å forenkle datainnsamlingen og for å holde oversikt over dataene, besluttet man tidlig at man ville utvikle en database og en infrastruktur for å legge inn og kvalitetssikre data via Internett. Denne rapporten beskriver infrastrukturen som er utviklet i samarbeid mellom BirdLife Norge og NINA, både på konseptuelt og teknisk nivå. Innledningsvis beskrives selve databasen med de forskjellige tabeller, databasevisninger, lagrede prosedyrer og funksjoner som er i bruk av webapplikasjonene. Hvert databaseobjekt beskrives i lys av hvilken funksjon det har i webapplikasjonene. Det er utviklet to ulike webapplikasjoner i prosjektet. Den første som er beskrevet (kapittel 3) er den som benyttes av deltagerne i hekkefugltakseringen, der de a) har tilgang på alt de trenger av materiell til å gjennomføre de årlige takseringene, og b) rapporterer resultatene. I tillegg finnes et administrasjonsgrensesnitt for regionledere og administrator for å planlegge årets sesong, tildele ruter, kvalitetssikre registreringer og godkjenne eller underkjenne takseringer. Hvilken tilgang og funksjonalitet brukeren har i webgrensesnittet styres via brukerroller. Den andre webapplikasjonen som er utviklet mot databasen til Norsk hekkefuglovervåking er en innsynsløsning som er åpent tilgjengelig for alle uten innlogging. Rapporten inneholder også informasjon om hvordan flere språk er implementert i webapplikasjonen for feltpersonellet, hvilke vurderinger som er gjort i forbindelse med personverforordningen GDPR og ekstern bruk av dataene fra Norsk hekkefuglovervåking. I tillegg er det inkludert en oversikt over hvilke faste årlige aktiviteter som utføres i forbindelse med drift og vedlikehold av databasen til prosjektet.

Minimalism as an approach to creating user instructions has long been well known and prevalent in the field of software documentation. However, it has not been applied to hardware and specifically to heavy machinery until 2021 when Jenni Virtaluoto, Tytti Suojanen, and Suvi Isohella published their revised minimalism heuristics. The heuristics were designed to be used in evaluating both software and hardware documentation. Virtanen et al. tested the suitability of the heuristics in evaluating heavy machinery user instructions in 2020, and the results indicated that the heuristics were applicable for heavy machinery. This study also evaluates the usability of the revised minimalism heuristics in evaluating heavy machinery user instructions from a fresh perspective that is independent from the original authors. This is done by evaluating excavator user instructions with heuristics and assessing their usability in a heavy machinery context, along with possible problems and possible improvements. The theoretical framework of this study consists of minimalism, its origins, development, and central principles. It also examines the relationship between minimalism and heavy machinery. The results show that while the heuristics are mostly applicable for evaluating heavy machinery user instructions, some of the heuristics are unsuitable or much better suited for evaluating software instructions. Based on the results, it could also be beneficial for the evaluator if there were separate heuristics for software and hardware products. Future research on this topic could include multiple professional participants evaluating various types of user instructions and involving real users in the process. Minimalismi on kauan ollut tunnettu ja laajalle levinnyt lähestymistapa tietokoneohjelmistojen dokumentaatiossa. Sitä ei kuitenkaan ole sovellettu laitteistoon eikä eritoten raskaaseen kalustoon ennen vuotta 2021, jolloin Jenni Virtaluoto, Tytti Suojanen ja Suvi Isohella julkaisivat uudistetut minimalismiheuristiikkansa. Heuristiikat on suunniteltu sopivaksi sekä ohjelmistojen että laitteistojen ohjeiden arviointiin. Virtanen ym. testasivat heuristiikkojensa käytettävyyttä raskaan kaluston ohjeiden arvioinnissa vuonna 2020, ja tulosten mukaan heuristiikat olivat sovellettavissa raskaan kaluston dokumentaatioon. Tässä tutkimuksessa arvioidaan myös uudistettujen minimalismiheuristiikkojen käyttökelpoisuutta raskaan kaluston käyttöohjeiden arvioinnissa tuoreesta, alkuperäisistä tekijöistä riippumattomasta näkökulmasta. Tämä tehdään arvioimalla heuristiikoilla kaivinkoneen käyttöohjeita ja tarkastelemalla heuristiikkojen käytettävyyttä sekä mahdollisia ongelmia ja parannusmahdollisuuksia raskaan kaluston yhteydessä. Tämän tutkimuksen tieteellinen viitekehys koostuu minimalismista, sen lähtökohdista, kehityksestä ja keskeisistä periaatteista. Lisäksi siinä tarkastellaan minimalismin ja raskaan kaluston välistä suhdetta. Tulokset osoittavat, että vaikka heuristiikat enimmäkseen soveltuvat raskaan kaluston käyttöohjeiden arviointiin, jotkin heuristiikat ovat epäkäytännöllisiä tai soveltuvat paremmin ohjelmistojen ohjeiden arviointiin. Tulosten perusteella arvioija voisi myös hyötyä erillisistä heuristiikoista ohjelmistoille ja laitteistolle. Tulevissa tutkimuksissa voisi olla mukana useita ammattilaisia, jotka arvioivat erityyppisiä käyttöohjeita, ja todellisia käyttäjiä voisi ottaa mukaan prosessiin.
