Authors: Pimentel Marcelo , Veliz José Carlos
Published: September 2024

This article explores the potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to improve knowledge management in organizations. Despite growing interest in GenAI, a thorough review of its applications and effectiveness in knowledge management is still needed. GenAI has shown promise in automating content creation, synthesizing information, and improving decision-making processes. However, its integration into knowledge management systems remains fragmented. This study seeks to consolidate existing knowledge and chart a path for future research in this area. The research uses a systematic literature review (SLR) following PRISMA guidelines, complemented by a thematic analysis to ensure a comprehensive assessment of the existing literature. We reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2024, focusing on GenAI applications in knowledge management. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes and trends. This paper contributes to the academic and professional environment by providing a detailed review of GenAI applications in knowledge management, identifying best practices, and offering strategic recommendations for leveraging GenAI to improve organizational processes. The review highlights key areas where GenAI can improve knowledge management: automating the generation of knowledge assets, enhancing knowledge discovery and retrieval, supporting collaboration, and improving decision making through advanced analytics. In addition, it addresses ethical considerations and potential challenges, such as data privacy and the need for human oversight.

Balancing Trust and Surveillance in Hybrid Work: Insights from a Pilot Study on Workplace Monitoring
Authors: Sbalzer Veronica
Published: September 2024

Many knowledge workers have shifted to work hybrid by being partly in the office and partly at remote locations. This brings freedom for knowledge workers, but managers are concerned about the performance of their workforce when they are not working from the office. One means to check performance constantly is by collecting and analyzing performance and behavior data to monitor employees, which is a form of algorithmic control. On the one hand, this can lead to conflicts between employees and managers as employees feel that managers mistrust them. On the other hand, employees might trust transparent monitoring that helps them focus on core tasks. To learn more about balancing trust and surveillance, this pilot study surveyed 45 knowledge workers in an engineering company in Denmark, a country with high levels of trust in society. We developed an online survey to investigate managers’ and employees’ opinions about workplace monitoring. We found that all participants had a negative to neutral attitude toward monitoring, although managers were slightly more favorable. Furthermore, data collection for work-related purposes to improve the work situation might be appropriate, although a trustful relationship between managers and employees is the most important. Thus, if a form of monitoring is going to be introduced at the workplace, it is essential that all stakeholders – managers, employees, HR, and union representatives – are involved and that complete transparency is achieved in terms of which data is collected and for which purposes. Only then can a balance between trust and surveillance be achieved, including maintaining a positive working climate.

Evaluations of everyday life in Krasnoyarsk residents’ speech
Authors:   Krasnoyarsk  State  Pedagogical  University  named after V. P. Astafiev, Osetrova E. V.
Published: September 2024

The article, based on the material of everyday speech of residents of Krasnoyarsk, examines the positions of evaluation in the semantic structure of a statement including presupposition, qualifying, actantial, proposition and modus. Due to the varying degrees of its explicitness and certainty, which is also related to the specifics of the listed positions, the evaluation has a different impact on the “right” context, which, as the analysis shows, develops in several directions including evaluation justification (arguments), transformation of the content of the evaluation (evaluation detailing / evaluation adjusting / alternative evaluation), transformation of the object field of the evaluation (object detailing / increasing the number of objects), interpretation of the impact potential of the evaluation (the purpose of the evaluation). Thus, in everyday speech, the introduction of an evaluative element regularly becomes a stimulus for the formation of a more or less long statement, and in some cases, an entire dialogue with evaluative content. The development of the axiological context is obviously influenced by factors of time, place and circumstances of communication. For example, the recreational mode when a person regularly finds themselves on vacation, during holidays or on weekends, in circumstances of outdoor recreation, “walks in the fresh air,” “friendly chat” correlates with attitudes towards a harmonious perception of the world around them, a loyal attitude to others and a positive evaluation. Given that the contextual development of an evaluation can acquire a proactive or reactive nature, based, respectively, on the communicative will of the author or from the addressee, the selected evaluation object, significant for the further development of the axiological micro-topic, is the addressee of the statement. This status of the second participant in the conversation stimulates the special activity of the author, who, in the circumstances of interpersonal contact, is ready to turn their qualifying attention to the addressee, move their position from the communicative (a participant in the conversation) to the substantive, axiological (evaluation object) plane, demonstrating their preference or, on the contrary, disapproval. The vocabulary of everyday evaluation is quite simple, often clichéd and not particularly diverse: khorosho (good); plokho (bad);normal'no ‘OK’;klassno, moshch ‘cool’; zhestko ‘tough’;molodets ‘well done’; etc. –the most frequent evaluation predicates.
The Future Of Lobbying For Advocacy Groups Under The Proposed Government Legislation 2013
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Cournane Maureen
Published: September 2024

In common with most other nations, Ireland currently has no statutory regulation of lobbying activities. This paper considers the pervasive context of political lobbying and analyses various suggestions for lobbying regulation which have been proposed. Lobbying in Ireland has come to the fore of public policy debates given the catastrophic collapse of the Irish economy since late 2008 and the role played by lobbyists in contemporary Irish politics. Ireland prides itself on the ability of all its citizens to have access to their elected representatives. However, there are relatively few professional lobbyists and, for most, their engagement with politicians, officials and public bodies is only part of what they do. There is a far wider band of professional, industry, academic and voluntary sector interaction with the State that seeks to influence public policy and political decisions. But to focus exclusively on professional or commercial lobbyists would be in fact to exclude most lobbying and be effectively worthless. Certainly professional lobbyists may be involved. But for the most part most lobbying is in fact done by people who describe themselves differently. If the legislation that the Department of Expenditure and Public Reform propose is accepted, it will make Ireland one of the most robust systems in the world for lobbying regulation.
The Behaviour Of Connections In Segmental Precast Concrete Pile Systems
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Causer Evan
Published: September 2024

"Driven precast concrete segmental piles are a popular foundation solution. Segmental pile systems incorporate connections into the pile, therefore it is important to be confident that the strength of the pile joints is comparable to that of the pile cross-section. The primary objective of the research was to examine the behaviour of connections in segmental precast concrete pile systems. This was achieved by undertaking a literature review, laboratory testing and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The uses of segmental concrete pile systems are described and a review of the available pile joints is given. A review of the relevant design codes was undertaken. The literature review highlighted that the structural competence of connections in precast segmental pile connection is an issue for concern. There was a limited amount of scientific literature found on the topic. A programme of laboratory testing was developed to test a common pile joint under combined axial load and bending moment. The laboratory programme comprised the testing of a number of joints under constant axial load and increasing the bending moment until failure. A 3D non-linear FEA of the joint was undertaken and the results compared to the laboratory testing. Failure of the test specimen was attributed to the concrete cross section in both the laboratory test and the FEA. It was found that the joint was structurally sound and did not deform plastically in either the FEA or the laboratory testing. However, it was observed in the laboratory testing that the effect of the bending moment on the connection caused exposure of the reinforcing steel at the joint. This may be a cause for concern for the long term durability of the pile joint."
Improving Usability: Evaluating The Effect Of Changing Environmental Factors On Cognitive Load
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Deegan Robin
Published: September 2024

"Mobile devices are now truly ubiquitous. Their pervasiveness in all facets of our lives brings many advantages. Principle to these advantages is the notion that mobile devices can be used “Anytime, Anywhere”. The size, portability, battery life and computational power of mobile devices mean that they can be used for a diverse range of uses in an equally diverse range of environments. Usability is primarily concerned with “ease of use” and “learnability”. Mobile devices are challenging this notion of Usability as they are used in new ways. Firstly mobile devices arc used in complex distracting environments and these distractions interfere with the user’s cognitive resources. Secondly mobile devices arc becoming advanced and powerful and this allows more sophisticated applications to be used on them. An example of this type of application is a learning application. Such an application is cognitively demanding and when the mobile device is used in a distracting environment this leads to scenarios where the user’s cognitive resources become overloaded. Cognitive Load Theory explains how the human mind interacts with instructional materials and has several guidelines that are used to assist in the design of instructional material used for learning. This material should be focused on learning and should not contain distracting elements. This work investigates whether Cognitive Load Theory can be adopted into Usability Engineering to address the issues of environmental distractions affecting users learning on mobile devices. Two major obstacles to this adoption were discovered. 1. The theory has ill-defined elements and 2. Cognitive load is difficult to measure. An experiment was conducted that gave insight into these obstacles and a new usability heuristic was developed, “Allow and 111 expect the user to learn”. This heuristic is based on Cognitive Load Theory and can be added to existing usability heuristics to help guide in the design and evaluation of learning software. IV"
An Evaluation Of Active8 - A Physical Activity Intervention For Teenage Girls.
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Fitzgibbon Aileen
Published: September 2024

"Objectives; To evaluate the Active8 intervention which aimed to increase physical activity participation and knowledge among teenage girls aged 11-14 years. Design; School based trial conducted from February- May 2010, in the Glen Resource and Sports Centre, Cork. Participants; Participants consisted of seventy three first year girls from an all-girls Secondary School in the North Side of Cork City, aged between 11-14 years. Forty eight transition year girls from the same school acted as mentors in the programme. Parental consent was obtained. Intervention; First year students engaged in weekly one hour physical activity sessions, during their Physical Education classes, for 8 weeks. The intervention was organised and funded by a number of stakeholders and conducted at the Glen Resource Centre where the sessions were delivered by external tutors. Activities offered comprised of both traditional and non-traditional activities, (Self Defence, High Ropes, Creative Dance and Gaelic Football). The intervention also consisted of a mentoring element and each student received an Activity Journal for the intervention which they completed with the help of their mentors. Main Outcome Measures; Levels of physical activity was assessed using the Previous Day Physical Activity Recall Questionnaire and a Concluding Questionnaire. Knowledge and attitudinal variables were assessed with questionnaires developed for this research. Focus groups, interviews and direct observation were used to assess the intervention process. Results; An in-depth analysis of data revealed a minor increase in physical activity occurred between pre and post intervention, with 26% of the participants engaging in physical activity every day of the week, as opposed to 15% prior to the intervention. In addition to this, the number of students who never engaged in physical activity decreased from 7% to 3%, pre and post intervention. A total of 85% of the sample had positive perception of the Active 8 programme however, no change was found to have occurred in knowledge levels relating to physical activity, pre and post intervention. In-depth interviews revealed that stakeholders suggested that amendments be made to the programme to develop it for future roll outs while 75% of the focus group reported they would like to see a change in the activities involved in the programme. Conclusions; Participants displayed a positive attitude towards the Active8 intervention."
A Traffic Metering And Marking Technique For Fair Bandwidth Allocation In High Speed Networks
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Looney Mary
Published: September 2024

"The deployment of Quality of Service (QoS) in high speed networks is vital to successful application delivery, especially those that are data-intensive. Continuous efforts have been made to develop infrastructures for enhancing QoS capabilities to manage available bandwidth through the use of traffic conditioners. However, research shows that these techniques distribute bandwidth in an unfair manner. This thesis addresses the failings of traffic conditioning techniques for bandwidth QoS provisioning. Traffic conditioners are comprised of two components, a traffic meter that is responsible for measuring transient characteristics of a traffic stream through a rate estimation technique and a traffic marker that is responsible for marking a packet’s compliance with respect to a set of parameters defined by the Service Level Agreement (SLA). This should allow for the fairer distribution of bandwidth in the network. In this work, a rate estimation technique is presented for use as a traffic metering component of a traffic conditioner. In addition a traffic marking mechanism is developed and presented. A traffic rate estimator needs to be accurate, stable and agile, however, as agility and stability are somewhat in conflict, a single rate estimation technique is incapable of being agile and stable simultaneously. Hence, in this thesis I propose a metering algorithm that uses two rate estimation techniques and a controller to allow it to satisfy the requirements of being accurate, agile and stable. Simulation analysis validates that the proposed algorithm produces accurate estimated rates and is capable of ignoring short term changes in traffic behaviour while also tracking changes in the actual rate of traffic. The second part of the work presented in this thesis focuses on a traffic marking technique. For bandwidth QoS requirements, traffic marking techniques should allocate bandwidth to subscribers according to their agreed contracted rate as defined by their SLA. To ensure fairness in the network, excess bandwidth should be shared in proportion to this agreed rate when the network is over or well provisioned. For under provisioned networks the allocated bandwidth should degrade in proportion to its agreed rate. This work proposes a provision aware, proportional, fair sharing, three colour marker to ensure these fairness criteria are fulfilled for aggregated flows. Its main achievements are in achieving fairness in under provisioned networks and in the presence of UDP traffic whilst being insensitive to the number of flows in an aggregate. This is demonstrated through quantitative simulation analysis. The scheme also shows improved performance over other aggregated approaches."
Wireless Sensor Networks: Empowering Reliable, Realtime & Resource Efficient Communication For Cyber-physical Applications
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Singh Jasvinder
Published: September 2024

"Since their inception, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been successfully employed as low-rate data gathering networks in numerous monitoring applications. Recently, a new domain of WSNs applications, known as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) has started attracting significant attention world-wide. In these applications, monitoring only the state of the physical system (process or environment) is not sufficient, the system must respond to the sensed events/data within certain time constraints by performing actions upon the physical entity. It is expected that in approaching years, WSNs will be integrated in a myriad of CPS applications, for example high confidence medical systems, assisted living, traffic control and safety, advanced automotive systems, smart buildings, intelligent transportation system, electric power grid, industrial automation and so on. These applications demand good network connectivity for reliable and timely collection of sensor data to accurately monitor and control the process/phenomenon. However, fulfilling these requirements is a challenging task due to the highly resource-constrained nature of WSN nodes, the unreliable wireless channel and their use in harsh environments. This dissertation presents a suite of novel approaches to protocol design for IEEE802.15.4 enabled WSNs which make careful use of WSN nodes’ resources while meeting communication reliability and delay requirements."

Good leadership helps maximize the use of resources to achieve organizational goals. Data shows that this comes from young people who are enrolling in colleges in the Banyumas area. The local government, from the village to the region, plans a way so that local arts and culture are not easily influenced by other cultures. This method is used by the local government to encourage young people at the college level to improve community activities and college student activity programs. When the organization looks less professional, this problem arises. This is caused by a number of main factors, including problems related to the vision and mission, especially in managing the organization itself. Organizations founded by young people can face various unique problems due to the dynamics and unique characteristics of young members. Based on the problems found in the previous situation analysis, it is necessary to provide counseling and guidance to young students. This is especially true for students who are members of groups and communities in the college environment. This community organization focuses on the context of arts and culture in the Banyumas area, Central Java. Solutions must be used to address problems to improve leadership in organizations managed by young people. The first thing we do is provide an important understanding of leadership in organizations, then we go into the content, namely about arts and culture in the Banyumas region of Central Java.

Introduction: Stress, a blend of emotional and physical tension, triggers somatic and psychological symptoms like
lethargy, insomnia, anxiety, and depression. It weakens immunity via two routes: the biological mechanism, involving
the "hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis" and cortisol production, and the behavioural mechanism, fostering unhealthy habits such as
smoking, alcoholism, and poor diet. Over time, these habits escalate, leading to potentially malignant disorders. To assess and establish the Aims:
relationship between anxiety, depression, and serum cortisol levels, and to examine the levels of anxiety, depression, and serum cortisol in habitassociated potentially malignant disorders (PMDs) such as oral submucous brosis (OSMF) and leukoplakia, comparing them with those of
healthy individuals. Materials And Methods: Our study group comprised of 60 participants in which 20 were of Leukoplakia, 20 OSMF and 20
healthy individuals. Selection was contingent upon clinical diagnosis. Assessments utilising the HAM-A and HAM-D questionnaires were
conducted. Additionally, morning blood samples were collected from all participants for serum cortisol analysis. We found a positive Result:
correlation between serum cortisol, anxiety and depression as compared to healthy controls when data was analyzed and tabulated using student
't 'test and P value< 0.05 was considered to be statistically signicant. Conclusion: In habit oriented patients there is a high probability of anxiety
and depression. Also patients with anxiety and depression are more likely to start a habit of smoking or tobacco chewing. Through this study a
positive correlation between both PMD and stress was assessed when compared with healthy controls

Venkateshwaraa Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Ariyur, Puducherry. The present study Material And Methods was cross
sectional study carried out among the adult female patients attending the outpatient department, department of general medicine. The study
period is of 3 months. Patients with hereditary anaemia, chronic illnesses were excluded. Informed consent was obtained from all the participants
participated in the study. The sample size was estimated to 200. The data was collected in a semi structured questionnaire. Statistical analysis was
done using descriptive statistics. 83.5% had known about anaemia, 76.5% had known about symptoms an Results d 74% the causes. 77% had
known iron rich foods. 84.5% thought anaemia to be serious health problem. 73.5% interested in knowing their anaemic status. 67.5% were
willing to take medication for anaemia. Only 39% thought they can be anaemic. 78% wash hand with soap after defecation. 25.5% regularly
skipped some meal. Conclusion Addressing the knowledge gap regarding food interactions is vital as many had reported to consume coffee/tea
alongside food and only fewer proportion were suspecting anaemia in them which again is barrier to screening. Only few had reported to eat green
leafy vegetables/fresh meat.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) typically presents with
lymphadenopathy, bone marrow involvement, and
splenomegaly; however, extra-nodal involvement, including
the gastrointestinal tract, is only recently being increasingly
recognized. The exact incidence of GI involvement in MCL
varies across studies, ranging from approximately 15% to
30%, emphasizing the importance of considering this
possibility in diagnosing patients with MCL [1].

Authors: Christina Rame Kekhruohinuo , Bhat Javeed Ahmad
Published: September 2024

The subject of the paper examines the political stratification of women in Nagaland.Politics has become a paradigm for
the development of women's equality, rights and security in society. There is no denying of the fact that Naga women
enjoy an equal social life as compared to women of other states in the nation,the status of women in the literature sector is
much stride than that of men in the state of Nagaland,it is a state which encompasses both men and women in the society
but when it comes to the political participation it is known to be a male dominant. In general, Naga society has a
patrilineal and patriarchal traditional society.The status of women is impacted by the patriarchal rules and customary
laws present in such society.The idea that men are superior to women and vice versa serves as the basis for institutions
and traditions. At present, the inclusion of women in decision-making is a question that has the Naga society in a
dilemma. For women to participate in decision-making, they must overcome obstacles like public opinion, political
culture, and the electoral system. This paper studies on how the government of Nagaland agreed to carry out the
elections following the cabinet's directives and the interim order issued by the Supreme Court to implement the 33%
reservation for women in the elections for Urban Local Bodies (ULB).The action, however, sparked a controversy in the
state because it was challenged by tribal representative bodies who said that it violated the terms of Article 371(A) of the
Constitution. Does Article 371(A) of India constitution which protects the customary laws of Naga's interlinks with the
33% reservation for women in Urban Local Bodies (UBL)? This paper argues on the hurdles to Naga women's political
engagement,women's political socialization and participation, and the role and status of women in politics in the state.
Given political opportunity will Naga women turn up to contest into election as candidate? Reservation of women in
politics.From varied angles within tribal society,women's inclusion in politics and advocating for women can result in a
society with a developed social milieu and bring about a well-known respectful state in the nation.

Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema is a rare rheumatic syndrome which is easily missed
due to lack of clinical vigilance and because its mimics (rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthropathy, polymyalgia
rheumatica) are substantially more common. It is known to present alone or in association with rheumatic diseases,
malignancies and infections. We report a case which presented with acute synovitis and pitting oedema of both hands
during the clinical course of liver abscess. He had elevated inflammatory markers and negative rheumatoid factors.
There was no radiological evidence of bony erosion. Ultrasound scan of hands showed evidence of extensor
tenosynovitis. He had a dramatic response to low dose steroids with no further recurrence on follow up. This case
signifies the importance of awareness of this rare condition among clinicians and its association with infectious
conditions such as liver abscess.

Penelitian ini membahas tentang pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat berbasis filantropi Islam melalui kegiatan ZIS. Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini terdiri dari tiga, yaitu: Untuk mengetahui implementasi pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat, mengetahui optimalisasi pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat berdasarkan konsep filantropi Islam dan untuk mengetahui implementasi gerakan filantropi Islam terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat. Pendekatan metodologis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan menggunakan pendekatan penelitian fenomenologi. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah observasi dan wawancara. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa program pemberdayaan ekonomi berupa Bantuan Usaha Mikro dan Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Kelompok. Program-program tersebut dilaksanakan dengan memanfaatkan dana Zakat, Infak, dan Sedekah (ZIS) dari para muzakki. Meskipun terdapat berbagai program, namun dari penelitian ini terlihat bahwa program ini masih menjadi program utama yang dijalankan, dimana pelaksanaan program-program lainnya masih kurang optimal. Namun, dari penelitian ini juga terlihat bahwa standar hidup mustahik telah meningkat setelah mendapatkan bantuan dari program Bantuan Usaha Mikro. Namun demikian, upaya lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan agar mustahik dapat menjalankan usaha sendiri sehingga mereka dapat memiliki uang sendiri dan memenuhi kebutuhan finansial mereka di masa depan. Sebagai implikasi, penelitian ini hanya mencoba menjelaskan sebagian kecil dari konsep pemberdayaan ekonomi berbasis filantropi Islam.
