Knowledge risk management in banks - An area for improving organizational performance

Research on the topic of knowledge risks and their management in organizations is still very scarce, this also applies to empirical studies. However, to avoid the uncritical acceptance of empirical results, replication studies play a crucial role in science. Therefore, this study represents a replication study of the type of empirical generalization of the paper by Durst et al. (2019) which studied knowledge risk management (KRM) in private and public organizations. Considering the KRM and performance assumptions underlying the original study and the methodology used, the results at that time are reviewed using new data from 103 Italian cooperative banks. This paper contributes to the study of risks related to knowledge and its theoretical development by providing new empirical evidence from a different cultural, geographical and institutional context. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of replication studies for knowledge accumulation and theory development in management science.
Academic texts reviewing as a productive training task

Introduction. The process of creation of academic texts by students is actively studied in the global higher education system in connection with the target of shaping students’ general research and learning activities. The aim of the paper is studying the specifics of students’ abstracting scientific texts, viewed as a productive learning task. Materials and methods. The study of the scientific texts abstracting process involved 125 second-year Bachelor degree students majoring in engineering and technical fields. The survey involved qualitative and quantitative content analysis of texts of abstracts. A fragment of students’ substantiation of applied relevance of a selected topic in the academic discipline “Fundamentals of Psychology” served as a unit of the analysis. Results. As shown by the analysis of the abstracts’ content, a total of 88% of students originally treated the abstracting task as a reproductive target, i.e. the abstract is treated as a text compiled from materials of educational, methodological and scientific literature. After refining the texts of abstracts, 76% of the students eventually reached the level of explicit personalised substantiation of practical application of the theoretical knowledge. Abstracting as a productive learning target contains novelty and variability of solutions; its fulfilment supposes the students’ effective substantiation of the applied significance of the explored subject. Under this condition, such components of the abstracting process as motivational, intellectual, operational, axiological and communicative ones are actualised. Conclusion. It is possible to distinguish two main strategies of teaching students to create scientific texts: 1) formation of specific skills, abilities and competences; 2) development of scientific worldview, academic literacy, methodological culture. In the authors’ opinion, every subject area, types of preparation work and academic classes have a potential for simultaneous realisation of the given positions. Further research should envisage perfection of the individual approach towards involvement of greater number of students in solving productive/creative learning targets.
Analysis of the value preferences of university students in the framework of their axiological education

Introduction. The axiological education of university students (including technical ones) is becoming relevant in the modern world. There is a need to educate an independent and responsible person who is aware of his hierarchy of values and correlates it with the values of modern society. The purpose of the study was to analyze the value preferences of students of a technical university based on the results of participation in the «Pushkin Card» program. Materials and methods. The materials for the study were the works of scientists, student`s reviews, who took part in the project "Pushkin Card – Culture Education (Axiological Aspect)" (154 people) and the results of a survey in which 126 students from the MIREA – Russian Technological University took part. Theoretical (analysis of research literature, analysis of student feedback after attending cultural events and their speeches at summarizing online seminars) and experimental (questionnaire) research methods were used. Methods of personal interest of students, a personal approach were used (students independently chose an event that can be paid for by the "Pushkin Card"), an activity approach (students were required to attend the event they chose), the method of axiological analysis (students in their reviews evaluated the event in terms of the values formed by it). Research results. The result of the study is the conclusion that, in general, students of the MIREA – Russian Technological University actively use the "Pushkin Card" program, are aimed at axiological education and are able to independently analyze the value characteristics of the cultural events they choose. 30% of students chose contemporary art to visit, 20% – classical art, historical museums were chosen by 17.5% of students, natural science museums – 12.3%. In terms of attendance, museums and exhibitions ranked first, cinemas ranked second, theaters ranked third, and folk music concerts ranked last. In the first place for students were cognitive and aesthetic values. 1/3 of the respondents attend cultural events 1-2 times every six months and 1/3 of the students – 1-2 times a year. Conclusion. The initial finding of young people in a situation of value pluralism and their ability to think critically allows us to make an assumption that it is possible for them to create a harmonious value worldview, which will be a synthesis of the positive features of different axiological discourses of modern culture.

I paste the Zoom meeting URL in a new tab on my browser and mentally brace myself for a long afternoon while it loads. A new window pops up and prompts me to connect my audio. Under the impression that I will be the only new face for the team, I enable my video as well. Immediately, two other videos appear next to mine in a grid layout. The first belongs to Mohammad who is typing and staring into what seems to be another computer screen. The other video shows Yousef with a pensive gaze.
Interdisciplinary approach to professional training of pre-service foreign language teachers at university

Introduction. An important problem of preparing university students to future professional activity following the principles of sustainable development enunciated by the UNO dictates the need for the use of teaching techniques and methods that allow students to form a holistic worldview, develop critical thinking skills and the need for learning and self-development throughout their lives. The preparation of students to live and work under dynamically changing social and economic conditions and multi-tasking of job responsibilities is presently being solved by various educational technologies based on the principles of interactivity and interdisciplinarity. The aim of this research is the experimental organization of the training of pre-service foreign language teachers on the principles of interdisciplinary approach. Methods and materials. The following methods were used for the data collection and interpretation: analysis of university documentation, survey by means of questionnaire and interview, observation, Wilcoxon rank sum test. The sample group was represented by the third-year students of Novosibirsk State Technical University, majoring in Theory and Methodology of Teaching Foreign Languages and Cultures, Linguistics program. The research was carried out during the period of two years (2020-2022). The total number of students participating in experimental learning is 48. Results. The choice of the groups with the third-year students was defined by the results of the previous research indicating the decrease of learning motivation among the third-year students (37 %) in comparison with students of other years of university studying – 1st year (68%), 2nd year (54%) and 4th year (74%). The reliability of the data was confirmed by the Wilcoxon T-test at Temp &lt;Tcr (at the level of 0.01), where Temp =1, and Tcr has values from 3 to 8 (Tcr=3 (p≤0.01), Tcr=8 (p≤0.01 0.05)). The analysis of the experimental data indicates the relevance of interdisciplinary approach to training pre-service foreign language teachers because of the high motivational potential stimulating interest to future profession. In replying to the questionnaire the respondents recognized the necessity to use interdisciplinary approach in education (‘yes’ and ‘rather yes that no’) – 91,6%, its positive influence on developing professional competence – 89,5 % and doing practical tasks of future professional sphere – 95,8 %. Conclusion. The application of interdisciplinary approach to training university students motivates them to study the chosen profession. That is why it necessitates the importance of further research into organizational arrangements and methodology of its implementation in the university practice.

The trends of the cultural studies development in the modern conditions: the case of Ukraine

The trends of cultural studies development in current conditions are analyzed in the article, with the case of Ukraine serving as an example. Cultural studies are gradually being transformed from an abstract sphere of philosophizing into a scientifically significant field. This transformation is supported by the review of candidate and doctoral dissertations, which demonstrate a shift towards applied science. The research in cultural studies adequately reflects the particularity of the current state of scientific practice, characterized by interdisciplinarity that significantly expands its potential for a flexible understanding of cultural practices. This transformation is driven by objective reasons, as the network of educational institutions, creative teams, concert venues, and other organizations in the field of music is the most extensive. It is asserted that cultural mentality, like any other type of mentality, is based on archetypes and embodied in myths. Cultural myths appeal to larger social mythological systems, leading to the transformation of cultural studies into the meaning of culture, which carries the imprint of corresponding chronotopes and worldviews. The current project is rooted in the idea of a total synthesis of cultures based on universals. In contrast, the postmodern project is motivated by the idea of deconstruction and the rhetoric of differences. Consequently, universalistic cultural studies tend to integrate various disciplines at the methodological level and aim to model the totality of world culture. On the other hand, particularistic cultural studies tend to reduce cultural studies to one of the components of cultural studies (typically aesthetics and art studies) at the methodological and subject levels, focusing on the investigation of individual components (genres, styles, ethnicities) of the phenomenon under study. The roots of cultural axiology can be traced back to the archetypal matrix of Greek-Orthodox thinking. It has provided strong traditions of cultural philosophy and its axiological reflection in Ukrainian humanistic thought. The traditional understanding of culture in Ukraine is deeply symbolic, axiological, and sacred.

Analisis Keamanan Komputer Terhadap Serangan Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS)

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a type of active attack, an attack that can overwhelm a system by flooding a computer or server with network traffic, disrupting user services. The goal of this attack is usually to disable services and disconnect from the compromised­­­­­­­­ computer or network. The impact is very large for companies or agencies that offer services. Victims of these attacks are unable to provide the services they are supposed to. Due to a bug or constraint on the server you are trying to use and one of the ways to deal with these attacks is to use a computer network firewall, which is useful for protecting computers from various outer space attacks. If the computer has a firewall security system, it is likely that no one on the Internet can access the data on the connected computer or web server. Firewall, works like a partition or wall that blocks the computer from the Internet. This "firewall" allows you to control what data, information, and activity can be transferred from the Internet to your computer and vice versa. With better data security and can avoid DDOS attacks that want to be carried out by irresponsible parties.
Application of Mamdani's Fuzzy Logic in Determining the Price of Silk Fabric in Ujung Pandang District

The development of the silk textile industry in Indonesia is supported by several provinces including South Sulawesi. South Sulawesi has several centers for the development of mulberry and silkworm cultivation which are the basic ingredients for making silk cloth. Silk cloth is one of the processed products from silk thread which is produced from cocoons produced by silkworm cultivation and woven into silk cloth. Traditional woven fabrics produced in regions in Indonesia, including South Sulawesi, are not only made for clothing purposes. The purpose of this study is to determine the price of silk cloth by applying the Mamdani fuzzy method to the MATLAB software, so that silk cloth businesses can set prices according to the quality of the goods. Fuzzy logic is considered capable of mapping an input into an output without ignoring the existing factors. Based on this, fuzzy logic will produce a model of a system capable of estimating selling prices.
Transforming Financial Decision-Making: The Interplay of AI, Cloud Computing and Advanced Data Management Technologies

Financial institutions face many challenges in managing modern financial transactions and vast data volumes. To overcome these challenges, they are increasingly harnessing advanced data man- agement technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing. This paper presents a com- prehensive review of how these tools transform financial decision-making in various domains and ap- plications. We analyzed both foundational and recent advancements using a rigorous methodology based on the PRISMA 2020 guideline. Our findings indicate that many major financial institutions are adopting AI-driven solutions to potentially enhance real-time risk assessment, transactional efficiency, and predictive analytics. While they bring benefits like faster decision-making and reduced operational costs, they also pose challenges like data security and integration complexities that require further research and development. Looking ahead, we envision a more integrated, responsive, and secure financial ecosystem that leverages the convergence of AI, cloud computing, and advanced data storage. This synthesis underscores the significance of contemporary data management solutions in shaping the future of data-driven financial services, offering a guideline for stakeholders in this evolving domain.
Enhancing video quality in wireless software-defined networks using multi-connection

This article presents a method to enhance the quality of video streaming using multi-connection in software-defined wireless networks. The method utilizes bonding technology to combine various physical network adapters into a single integrated device, effectively utilizing network resources and ensuring high-quality video transmission. The study also includes an analysis of the use of the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) as a quality perception metric and the method's response to deteriorating communication channel parameters. The results indicate that an increase in packet loss leads to a decrease in PSNR values. This is explained by the fact that packet loss introduces errors or noise into the compressed signal, reducing its accuracy compared to the original. Specifically, packet loss can be caused by insufficient network bandwidth when the volume of data attempting to pass through the network exceeds its capacity. In such cases, packet loss can lead to a deterioration in the quality of the video stream. On the other hand, packet loss due to radio signal instability may result from external factors such as obstacles or interference, which can lead to packet loss even with sufficient network bandwidth. These losses can also impact the quality of the video stream and reduce PSNR values. During the study, it was observed that an equal percentage of packet losses caused by insufficient network bandwidth and losses due to radio signal instability have different effects on image perception quality. In general, the overall research results confirm the potential for significant improvement in the quality of service for wireless network users using the proposed method, without requiring additional network resource expenditures. This can have significant practical implications for advancing network technologies and ensuring high-quality video data transmission in modern wireless networks.
A Survey on Healthcare Virtual Assistant Using Generative AI

Documentation is a clumsy task for the front- desk staff. They've to fill in patient data, schedule appointments, and attend to patient queries. Even healthcare providers must enter EHR data, which takes a lot of time, and they end up spending lesser time with their patients. In the evolving landscape of healthcare administration, the burden of administrative tasks continues to challenge healthcare professionals and institutions. However, with generative AI, doctors can produce clones of patient data and automate form- filling tasks. It can also be integrated with EHR for documentation work. This project introduces a result — a generative artificial intelligence (AI) system designed to ease administrative burdens and enhance operating efficiency. By employing the power of AI, this web- grounded platform aims to streamline administrative processes, automate routine tasks, and facilitate absolute communication between patients, medical staff, and administrative personnel.
Analysis of Chemical Engineering Students’ Needs on Instructional Reading Strategies

Reading is an important macro skill besides speaking, writing and listening. Reading is a receptive skill, yet it is still essential for success in both academic and in everyday life. Therefore, the study aims at analyzing chemical engineering students’ needs for instructional reading strategies to help them comprehend the text. A qualitative research design was used for this study with quantitative data collection. Data were collected through questionnaires from 60 chemical engineering students and analyzed using descriptive statistics (the interpretations of percentages). The results show that there are seven important reading instructions selected by chemical engineering students (above 90%) that is drawing conclusion, making prediction, identifying cause and effect, distinguishing between facts and opinions, comparing and contrast, identifying the main ideas and identifying supporting details. Chemical engineering students also had favorable attitudes on three other instructional reading strategies that were considered important with the percentage of below 89 percent they are recognizing and interpreting writer’s view, summarizing and drawing conclusions. Based on the analysis of students’ needs, majority of chemical engineering students believe the seven most important instructional reading strategies should be incorporated into the reading materials as reading comprehension activities.
Am I safe? A preliminary examination of how everyday people interpret covid data visualizations

During these past years, international COVID data have been collected by several reputable organizations and made available to the worldwide community. This has resulted in a wellspring of different visualizations. Many different measures can be selected (e.g., cases, deaths, hospitalizations). And for each measure, designers and policy makers can make a myriad of different choices of how to represent the data. Data from individual countries may be presented on linear or log scales, daily, weekly, or cumulative, alone or in the context of other countries, scaled to a common grid, or scaled to their own range, raw or per capita, etc. It is well known that the data representation can influence the interpretation of data. But, what visual features in these different representations affect our judgments? To explore this idea, we conducted an experiment where we asked participants to look at time-series data plots and assess how safe they would feel if they were traveling to one of the countries represented, and how confident they are of their judgment. Observers rated 48 visualizations of the same data, rendered differently along 6 controlled dimensions. Our initial results provide insight into how characteristics of the visual representation affect human judgments of time series data. We also discuss how these results could impact how public policy and news organizations choose to represent data to the public.
Investigating Difficulties Faced by Lecturers in Teaching General English

This research aimed to investigate the challenges encountered by the lecturer in delivering English language instruction to non-native speakers at a privately-owned institution in Sidenreng Rappang. The methodology employed for this study was a qualitative case study. The study involved a single English lecturer who expressed willingness to undergo interviews and observations while facilitating teaching and learning activities. The data was collected through interviews and observation as the primary research instruments. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the collected data. The findings of the thematic analysis indicate that English language instructors encounter challenges in the course of delivering their pedagogical duties: 1) The need for more student engagement in the learning process; 2) Inadequate implementation of pedagogical strategies; 3) Insufficient provision of academic support; 4) Delayed submission of student assignments. The inference can be drawn that the students encountered challenges in comprehending the subject matter presented by the teacher due to the predominant use of the English language. The diminished level of student engagement during the educational experience can be attributed to the hybrid learning process, which combines in-person and remote instruction.
