In recent years, it has become conventional wisdom that artificial intelligence (AI) will be a game-changer in business. However, it remains challenging to adopt enterprise AI, i.e., enterprise software that incorporates AI techniques, into firms’ core and overall data strategies. In this study, we investigate the path to AI maturity and enterprise-wide adoption from a service provider perspective. Wecollect secondary data from 66white papers published by leading AI service providers in the past five years anduse topic modeling to understand the current themes in AI implementation. Thereafter, we analyze pertinent challengesthrough the lens of the classi-cal technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework. Our results demonstrate that, even though AI service providers have successfully addressed—at least in part—major questions faced by clients, there still exists a gap between the features demanded by end-users and the skills possessed and focused on by the AI service providers. For example, a vendor thinks his user does not have a clear vision on AI adoption, whereas the user finds it difficult to align the provided AI solution with the firm’s vision. We then argue that a holistic review of all TOE contexts is critical for closing the gap on the journey to AI maturity.

Crumb rubber incorporation is widely deemed to deteriorate the compressive strength of concrete. One of the dominant reasons for this strength reduction is known as the inferior bonding or weak interfacial transition zones (ITZ) between the crumb rubber and hardened cement paste. While Styrene-butadiene (SBR)latex is being used as a bonding agent in concrete manufacturing, the SBR latex usage holds the potential to compensate for the strength reduction from crumb rubber incorporation. This study focuses on evaluating the sole and combined effect of crumb rubber and SBR latex on the compressive strength, one optimum combination of latex modified rubberised mix (LMCRC) that had achieved 55.5 MPa of 28 days’characteristic strength was chosen to compare its impact resistance and stress-strain response to a plain concrete (PC) with similar characteristic strength. Experimental results showed both crumb rubber and SBR latex incorporation induced a compressive strength reduction in the concrete. The optimum latex modified rubberised mix with w/c of 0.32, crumb rubber replacement of 20kg/m3, and 3% latex additives had outperformed the control mix with w/c ratio of 0.38 by 66.7% and 293% in the 400mm span impact test and 200mm span impact test, respectively. Besides, the latex modified rubberised mix showed higher Poisson’s ratio, and higher compressive strain which indicates more ductile behaviour as compared to the plain concrete.

Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) is distinct for the tensile strain-hardening behaviourand tensile ductility contrasting to the quasi-brittle nature of ordinary concrete. The blended materials of ECC only consist of cement, sand, water, fibre, and admixture. The depleting and limited resources of sand in many countries have led to the research on alternative materials to replace sand partially or fully in the concrete mixture. Therefore, this study aims to utilize the crumb rubber (CR) in ECC as a partial sand replacement to enhance the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the composite. The additional of CR in the ECC cause reduction of compressive strength of the composites due to its smooth surface resulting to less bonding with cement matrix. Hence, the CR is being treated with 10% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to improve its surface roughness and enhance the adhesion between CR and cement matrix in the composites. The compressive strength results for ECC contained CR treated for duration of 2 days and 4 days were recorded. Two days is the optimum duration of CR treatment using 10% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to lessen the reduction of the compressive strength of the rubberized engineered cementitious composites (R-ECC).

This study attempts to identify the potential sources of the chemical elements in the river and drainage water using in-situ water quality sampling and public domain satellite data. Monitoring the physico-chemicallevel of urban streams and rivers is important to secure sufficient water resources, an indicator to the ecological degradation in urban areas and an indicator of environmental pollution. Nonetheless, identifying the potential sources of chemical pollutants by field observation is constrained by hard labor activities, time, and cost. Having satellite imagery that provides land use activity information would be useful in determining the chemical sources. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to utilize the publicly accessible Google satellite images in identifying the potential sources of the chemical elements' presence in the water that is physically sampled and measured over the selected urban rivers and drainage of Johor Bahru. Three chemical elements were identified, ammonia (NH3), nitrate (NO3-), and phosphate (PO43-). The identification of the chemical sources is conducted based on the interpretation of the satellite-derived information together with the posteriori knowledge, experience, and inputs in an environmental chemistry perspective. The findings revealed that the proportion of land used did not always have a significant impact on the chemical content of the waterways. For ammonia, areas with significant hotspots (aquaculture, wet market) are more significant, although the size of the area is not dominant. The nitrate content, on the other hand, showed quite a distinct pattern linked to oil palm, intensive farming, and industrial or commercial areas. There was no distinct land use pattern associated with phosphatelevel. However, locations with high residential areas were likely to have high phosphate content in their respective waterways or drainage to the onsite investigations with minimal labor works, cost effective, and time efficient.

Published: January 2023

In this paper, we investigated the performance of the Rambatan siphonsin IndramayuRegency, Indonesia, via physical modeling. The model was built in the laboratory with a scale of 1:10, consisting of two siphons, each with a diameter of 0.3 m and a length of 14 m for the model scale. Several scenarios were considered for the physical modeling, of which the focus was on analyzing the discharge capacity, sediment flushing, flow pattern, and pressure. Using the (prototype) design discharge of 6.36 m3/s and some variations of sediment size for the original configuration of the model, we observed the insufficient hydraulic capacity of the siphons. Several modifications were thus applied to the original design, namely by modifying the upstreamchannel and extending the upper wall of the downstreamchannel. The result showed that the hydraulic performance increased after applying such modification scenarios, where the siphons were able to discharge 6.36 m3/s. In addition, we observed that the flushing pipe diameter of 0.5 m was faster to flush the sediment inside the siphons. The results of this study are useful for the related stakeholders to increase water supply productivity.

Published: January 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many changes in all areas, including education. In this paper, we discuss the changes in the studying habits of higher education students brought about by the new modes of education. The research was conducted in Slovenia at the University of Maribor on a sample of 272 students. We investigated whether there had been changes in studying time, studying space, mode of studying and learning during lectures, social elements, and the advantages and barriers of distance learning. We found differences in certain studying habits related to the time and space of studying which are mainly associated with the prohibition of movement and socializing outside the household. We noticed a decline in motivation and its connection with lowering learning goals and students finding it harder to focus on learning. However, we also found that the new mode of studying brings greater flexibility for students, so some want to continue to study in this way.

Freedom by Regulation: A Legal Assessment of the CRL Commission’s Report on the Commercialisation of Religion and Abuse of People’s Belief Systems
Authors: Mapitsa Cosmo
Published: January 2023

The South African Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities is one of the key institutions established by the Constitution of the country to strengthen its constitutional democracy. The Commission conducted investigations and released a report in 2017 related to suspicions that there are abuses of beliefs taking place in religious communities. The report was subjected to a number of challenges from academia, especially with regards to the constitutionality of some of the findings and recommendations of the Commission. In this article, it is argued that one of the contributing factors to the main shortcomings of the report emanates from a lack of nuance in the approach of the Commission. Considering the complex nature of religious beliefs, it is argued that the investigations by the CRL Rights Commission would have offered an opportunity for better conversation if the Commission had taken a human rights approach. In the main it is argued that a clear differentiation between the right to freedom of religion which vests on individuals, and the right of freedom of religious practice which vests on individuals in their capacity as members of religious communities, would have created a discourse that would better grapple with the complexity of ensuring maximum freedom of religion while creating safety for communal interests beyond specific beliefs.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Improving handwashing with soap (HWWS) among children in humanitarian emergencies has the potential to reduce the transmission of several important infectious diseases. However, there is limited evidence on which approaches are effective in increasing HWWS among children in humanitarian settings. One recent innovation – the “Surprise Soap” intervention – was shown to be successful in a small-scale efficacy trial in a humanitarian setting in Iraq. This intervention includes soap with embedded toys delivered through a short household session comprising a glitter game, instruction of how and when to wash hands, and HWWS practice. Whilst promising, this approach has not been evaluated at programmatic scale in a complex humanitarian setting. Methods: We conducted a cluster-randomised controlled equivalence trial of the Surprise Soap intervention in IDP camps in Kahda district, Somalia. Proportionate stratified random sampling was employed to recruit 200 households, with at least one child aged 5-12, across the camps. Eligible households were randomly allocated to receive the Surprise Soap intervention (n=100) or an active comparator handwashing intervention in which plain soap was delivered in a short household session comprising standard health-based messaging and instruction of how and when to wash hands (n=100). The primary outcome was the proportion of pre-specified occasions when HWWS was practiced by children aged 5-12 years, measured at baseline, 4-weeks, 12 weeks, and 16 weeks post invention delivery. Results: HWWS increased in both groups (by 48 percentage points in the intervention group and 51 percentage points in the control group, at the 4-wee follow up), however, there was no evidence of a difference in HWWS between the groups at the 4-week (adjusted RR (aRR)=1.0, 95% CI 0.9–1.1), 12-week (aRR=1.1, 95% CI 0.9–1.3), or 16-week (aRR=1.0, 95% CI 0.9–1.2) follow-up. Conclusions: In a complex humanitarian setting, where soap availability and past exposure to handwashing promotion was low, it appears that well-designed targeted handwashing interventions can increase child HWWS and potentially reduce disease risk, but the Surprise Soap intervention offers no marginal benefit that would justify the additional costs.
The Effects of Distance Violations on Verbal Immediacy
Authors: Donohue William A. , Diez Mary E. , Stahle Renee , Burgoon Judee K.
Published: January 2023

Most research directed at relational messages implied in personal distance has focused exclusively on nonverbal effects. Those studies including verbal aspects have been limited to content and fluency factors. The study reported attempts to probe the effects of nonverbal message, particularly through the manipulation of distance, on verbal relational cues of immediacy or nonimmediacy. The design of the study followed the theoretical position of Burgoon’s Communicative Model of Violations of Distancing Expectations. For the interaction of 96 dyads, the results indicated that both close and far distance violations increased verbal immediacy scores. Relationship between interactants had no impact on immediacy. Competing explanations for the interpretation of the data are explored, raising the question of how clearly the relationships between distance, nonverbal, and verbal factors may be separated
The Impact of New Technologies on Society: A Blueprint for the Future
Authors: Tiwari Siddhartha Paul
Published: January 2023

We already see the impact of emerging technologies on our lives and the economy in many different ways, particularly when it comes to the way we live our lives and the way we work. Due to this, there is fierce competition among companies across the globe in order to ensure that they are able to benefit from the new technological developments. Globally, the United States and Asia are emerging as the two global leaders in this area. Over the years, there has been a significant change in the landscape of emerging technologies since Alan Turing first asked in the 1950s if machines could think like humans. Emerging technologies will enhance economic growth and efficiency in the future. It is possible to greatly improve decision-making when large amounts of data are analysed by improving efficiency. It is likely that new products and services, new markets, and new industries will be created as a result, which will in turn boost consumer demand and generate new revenue streams. On the other hand, emerging technologies may also have a profound effect on society and the economy. The creation of superman-like organisations could negatively affect the economy, according to several researchers. Further, it may lead to a wider gap between developed and developing countries, as well as a rise in the demand for workers with emerging skills and technologies, thereby creating job losses. The latter trend may have a significant impact on the labor market in the long run.

Introduction: The standard treatment protocol of orbital cellulitis includes the use of broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics. This study was done to evaluate the role of oral corticosteroids in the treatment of orbital cellulitis in order to address the inflammatory component.
Methods: A prospective comparative interventional study was carried out on 17 cases of orbital cellulitis over 16 months. All the patients were treated with intravenous antibiotics and were allotted to Group A or B. The former consisted of eight cases (intravenous antibiotics) while group B consisted of nine cases (intravenous antibiotics and oral corticosteroids). The oral corticosteroids were started after 24 to 48 hours of initiation of antibiotics. The outcomes compared between the two groups were hospital stay, visual analogue score, temperature, peri-orbital edema, proptosis, visual acuity, extra-ocular movement and conjunctival chemosis. Results: The age of the participants ranged from 7 to 77 years with M:F = 6:11. The mean duration of hospital stay was 7.75±2.7 and 8.22± 2.53 days in group A and B. The result showed that the changes in the other parameters were significant on the 3rd day after starting treatment in both groups but insignificant between the groups at the end of 7th and 14th day.
Conclusions: In our study, addition of oral corticosteroids to intravenous antibiotics showed no added beneficial effect over the useof intravenous antibiotics alone in the treatment of orbital cellulitis. However, it was noted that there was no furtherdeterioration of the disease with the use of steroids.

Introduction: The mucogingival junction is considered one of the vital anatomic structures that mark the apical termination of the attached gingiva. However, due to various pathologies and conditions, it can be undetectable. This study aimed to assess the distribution of patients having teeth without clinically detectable mucogingival junction in mandibular anteriors. Various etiologies leading to clinically undetectable mucogingival junction were also identified.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 312 patients who visited the department of Periodontics of Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital and Research Center, Pokhara from July 26 to November 26, 2022. The visual method, rolling probe method, tension test and histochemical staining were used to detect the mucogingival junction. To ascertain the relationship between age and gender with the distribution of data, descriptive analysis and the Pearson Chi-square test was used. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The majority of the patients 242(77.6%), had clinically detectable mucogingival junction, whereas the remaining 70(22.4%) didn’t show its absence. Gingival recession, keratosis, deep pockets, and aberrant frenal attachment were all common etiologic factors for clinically undetectable mucogingival junction. Statistically significant number of male patients from age group above 45 years presented with clinically undetectable mucogingival junction.
Conclusions: Nearly one-third of the study population presented with clinically undetectable mucogingival junction, which provides baseline data to determine the periodontal health of the study population and can represent as one of the significant diagnostic clues.

La adopción de tecnología “soft” en la lechería uruguaya para el manejo de la información: un estudio de caso en Florida, Uruguay
Authors: Álvarez J.
Published: January 2023

Entre octubre y noviembre del año 2000 se realizó un estudio involucrando 61 productores lecheros localizados en el departamento de Florida, con la finalidad de conocer sus prácticas referidas al manejo de la información y sus opiniones sobre el uso y el potencial de la tecnología informática para mejorar este manejo. La información colectada permitió constatar una gran heterogeneidad de procedimientos y sistemas utilizados para realizar dicho manejo. En las tres áreas de manejo de la información predial relevadas, financiera, alimentación y ganado, coexisten sistemas informales, sean estos basados en registros desordenados o simplemente en la memoria del productor, sistemas manuales formales, sistemas computarizados y sistemas basados en servicios, generalmente asociados a servicios de asistencia técnica. En segundo lugar también se constató diferencias en variables que potencialmente pueden estar asociadas a esas diferencias en el manejo de la información, como ser el tamaño de las empresas, la edad, experiencia y educación formal de los productores, la forma de conducir la gestión de los tambos, el tiempo dedicado a realizar tareas directamente relacionadas a la gestión, y el involucramiento de técnicos u otras personas en el manejo de los establecimientos. Dentro del grupo de productores que utilizan computadoras para manejar la información predial, aparece como área privilegiada, la relacionada al manejo del ganado, estando menos desarrolladas las otras dos estudiadas, esto es los manejos financieros y alimentarios. Adicionalmente, más de un tercio de los productores consultados manifiesta estar satisfecho con el manejo actual de la información que viene realizando. Finalmente, un número importante de productores ha reconocido sus limitaciones en la gestión de la información. Frente a ello, varios han desarrollado diversas estrategias dirigidas a introducir tecnología informática, a perfeccionar el manejo de la información, a utilizar más asesoramiento y mejor información.

The Effect of Opportunity: Capital as School Resource and College-Related Outcomes for Black and Latinx Students
Authors: Houston Derek A. , Trent William T.
Published: January 2023

The structural conditions by which Black and Latinx students experience education have created an opportunity gap in the access to equitable educational resources, likely leading to reduced educational outcomes. Attempts to understand how educational resources impact educational outcomes for Black and Latinx students are usually limited because of comparisons of each group to their White peers. Using inverse probability weighting with regression adjustment (IPWRA), we take a critical quantitative approach ( Stage, 2007 ) by conducting within-group analyses, centering the outcomes of Black and Latinx students. Drawing on Bourdieu’s (1986) conceptualization of capital, we estimate causal effects of capital as a school resource (ITAC)1on three college-related outcomes for each group. We find that attending schools with higher ITAC increases college readiness, the likelihood of college enrollment, and degree attainment for Black and Latinx students. Causal estimates suggest that the probability of college enrollment increases by 9% and degree attainment increases by at least 8% for both Black and Latinx students, indicating that access to equitable educational opportunities in high school can affect college-related outcomes. Implications for the recruitment, hiring, and retention of quality teachers in schools that are majority Black and/or Latinx are discussed.
