The educational structure of digital artisans: a qualitative study based on grounded theory by Mengyuan Sui, Yang Yang, Mingxing Zhou

“…Abstract As the mainstay of the highly skilled talent team, digital artisans are of great significance in promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, accelerating the pace of digital as well as realising Vision 2035. To analyse the structure of the core educational elements of digital artisans, based on the procedural grounded theory, 30 digital artisans were selected as the objects, and with the help of in-depth interview data, the initial codes were extracted from the original data through the process of open coding—spindle coding—selective coding, which was integrated to form 33 concepts and 12 categories, and further refined into 4 main categories. …”

Influence of Tectonic and Geological Structure on GIC in Southern South Island, New Zealand by M. Ingham, K. Pratscher, W. Heise, E. Bertrand, M. Kruglyakov, C. J. Rodger

“…Abstract As part of a 5‐year project to assess the risk posed by geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) to the New Zealand electrical transmission network, long‐period magnetotelluric (MT) measurements have been made at 62 sites in southern South Island of New Zealand, a region where there was an absence of previous MT data. The data are largely 3‐dimensional in character, but show distinct features that can be related to the known tectonic and geological structure. …”
