Authors: Khatimah Husnul , Nuradi
Published: January 2021

Zakat as the third pillar of Islam became one of the fundamental things in the teaching of islam. In an effort to overcome the socio-economic disparity of the Islamic community, it is hoped that efforts will be made to empower muzakki, because besides them are parties who are subject to the obligation of zakat, they are also one of the important components in an effort to realize the ideals of making zakat as the economic pillars of the ummah. This research aims to know optimization of zakat through muzakki empowerment. The research method used is literature method by using some literature related to zakat in the form of book, research journal as well as sourced directly from nash al-Quran and al-Hadits. The result of this research show that the muzakki empowerment program is carried out by providing assistance through giving them a sense of comfort and comfort in channeling their wealth, then given intense guidance to maintain the consistency of the muzakki so that they always actively participate in it and make them role models or agents of change for mustahiq so that they are motivated to follow their steps as well as a measure of the continuity of the optimization of the role of zakat.

Listriodon skull from the late middle Miocene of Nebisuyu (Çanakkale – MN 8) Turkey
Authors: Pickford Martin , Kaya Tanju , Mayda Serdar
Published: January 2021

The late middle Miocene (MN 8) sediments at Nebisuyu, in the southwestern extremity of the Gelibolu Peninsula, Turkey, yielded remains of a large individual of Listriodon splendens: a skull lacking the premaxillae but containing both cheek tooth rows, and a detached left maxilla fragment containing a canine. The material evidently represents a male individual on the basis of the large dimensions of the canine, an inference borne out by the presence of a horn-like protuberance on the thickened frontal bones. The dentition is typical of the large “subspecies” Listriodon splendens major Roman, 1907. The presence of an ossicone suggests that head-to-head combat was an aspect of the behaviour of Listriodon, just as it is in several extant suid taxa. The Nebisuyu discovery extends the geographic distribution of the subspecies well to the east of its previously known range.
A study of the sharks and rays from the Lillebælt Clay (Early–Middle Eocene) of Denmark, and their palaeoecology
Authors: Carlsen Agnete Weinreich , Cuny Gilles
Published: January 2021

Elasmobranch assemblages from the Eocene Lillebælt Clay Formation (Late Ypresian to Middle Lutetian) at Trelde Næs in Denmark yielded teeth of 31 different genera/species from surface collecting as well as from bulk sampling.
The fauna is dominated by lamniform pelagic sharks and deepwater genera like Hexanchiformes, Centrophorus, Isistius, Echinorhinus and Pristiophorus.

Coupatezia miretrainensis, Centrophorus aff. granulosus and Chlamydoselachus cf. fiedleri are reported for the first time from the Ypresian. The record of Coupatezia miretrainensis extends its stratigraphic record from the Lutetian back to the Late Ypresian, whereas the record of Centrophorus aff. granulosus extends the origin of the Centrophorus granulosus group back to the Late Ypresian from its hitherto known origin in the Lutetian. The possible presence of the sparsely known Bartonian genus Turania awaits further sampling to be confirmed.

The Ichthyofauna suggests deposition in a deep-water environment in subtropical to temperate waters on the middle or outer continental shelf and upper slope at water depth down to 350 m. This is in agreement with depositional depths inferred from fossil molluscs and fish otoliths from Trelde Næs.
Agraulos longicephalus and Proampyx? depressus (Trilobita) from the Middle Cambrian of Bornholm, Denmark
Authors: Weidner Thomas , Nielsen Arne Thorshøj
Published: January 2021

The trilobite genus Agraulos Hawle & Corda 1847 has within Scandinavia been recorded only from Bornholm, Denmark, where its representatives occur in the Middle Cambrian Paradoxides paradoxissimus Superzone of the Alum Shale Formation. Only cranidia have been found so far, representing Agraulos longicephalus (Hicks 1872) and the rare “Agraulos” depressus Grönwall 1902.
Episodes of aeolian sand movement on a large spit system (Skagen Odde, Denmark) and North Atlantic storminess during the Little Ice Age
Authors: Clemmensen Lars B. , Glad Aslaug C. , Hansen Kristian W.T. , Murray Andrew S.
Published: January 2021

Late Holocene coastal dune successions in north-western Europe contain evidence of episodic aeolian sand movement in the recent past. If previous periods of increased sand movement can be dated sufficiently precisely and placed in a correct cultural and geomorphological context, they may add to our understanding of storminess variation and climate change in the North Atlantic during the later part of the Holocene.
Molecular basis for protein–protein interactions
Authors: Seychell Brandon Charles , Beck Tobias
Published: January 2021

This minireview provides an overview on the current knowledge of protein–protein interactions, common characterisation methods to characterise them, and their role in protein complex formation with some examples. A deep understanding of protein–protein interactions and their molecular interactions is important for a number of applications, including drug design. Protein–protein interactions and their discovery are thus an interesting avenue for understanding how protein complexes, which make up the majority of proteins, work.

Authors: Andriana Fitri , Soewondo Slamet Sampurno , Alwi Sabir
Published: January 2021

This study aims to identify and analyze the legal protection arrangements for midwives who work in the Poskesdes (Village Health Post) Majene Regency as well as the forms of implementation of legal protection for midwives who work in the poskesdes. The research method used is empirical research. The research location is in Majene Regency with a total sample of 41 poskesdes with regular categories spread over 8 districts, the types and sources of legal materials used are primary and secondary legal materials. Collection techniques through interviews, direct observation and literature study and then analyzed qualitatively and described to describe, describe and explain the results of the research. The author concludes that the implementation of health services at the poskesdes has not provided legal protection to midwives because midwives still carry out services that are not their authority and competence as a midwife. The implementation of legal protection through the delegation of authority is not in accordance with the regulations, the existing Standard Operating Procedures are not in accordance with the conditions of the Poskesdes facilities and the guidance and supervision system for midwives has not been maximally implemented.

La combinación de visiones y metodologías de trabajo, deben ser adaptables y flexibles, en la medida que definan lineamientos completos y complejos, que serán siempre necesarios, para gestionar de manera exitosa los proyectos en las organizaciones.
Apertura económica y política comercial: estudio del sector lácteo y sus dificultades en Colombia
Authors: Baena Rojas Jose Jaime , Cano Jose Alejandro , Duque Giraldo Mateo
Published: January 2021

A partir de la apertura económica en Colombia, algunos sectores económicos han tenido que afrontar importantes retos a fin de competir con productos extranjeros, tal y como sucede con el sector lácteo. De este modo, este artículo plantea un análisis general entre la apertura económica y el comportamiento del sector lácteo en Colombia, considerando que muchos productos de este sector cuentan con gravámenes aplicados y aranceles prohibitivos, convirtiendo al sector lácteo en el sector de mayor nivel de proteccionismo arancelario. Para esto, se analizaron variables tales como exportaciones, importaciones, capacidad productiva, de consumo, entre otras, a nivel nacional y en Latinoamérica-El Caribe. Los resultados evidencian que en Colombia existen altos niveles de proteccionismo arancelario y un crecimiento de las importaciones en el sector lácteo, reflejando problemas internos de eficiencia productiva y competitividad. Como conclusión, se propone enfocar las exportaciones colombianas en productos de mayor valor agregado y continuar con los esfuerzos de modernización y capitalización de la cadena de suministros láctea, ofreciendo así precios nacionales competitivos, y satisfaciendo la demanda interna.
Principle-driven virtual care practice to ensure quality and accessibility
Authors: Ho Kendell , Harris Ken , Leamon Toni
Published: January 2021

COVID-19 has accelerated the use of telehealth or virtual care (VC) as an alternative form of health care delivery. Clearly, VC provides unprecedented convenience and timeliness for patients seeking care from their health professionals. As a result, a substantial increase in telehealth providers is occurring, and the Canadian government is investing millions to support digital health care treatments and telehealth services. However, it is vital that the health professional community carefully examine the quality of care being delivered digitally and determine when it is appropriate to use VC as an alternative to face-to-face care. This article highlights some principles for health policymakers, health professionals, and health consumers to consider to ensure that VC is used appropriately and ethically for the right health conditions and in the right contexts.
Densidades y ciclos de renovación del café en un sistema agroforestal en el departamento de Norte de Santander
Authors: Farfán-Valencia Fernando , González Gabriel Fernando
Published: January 2021

En la Granja Blonay, ubicada a los 7° 34’ N y 72° 37’ W, a una altitud de 1.250 m, municipio de Chinácota, en el departamento de Norte de Santander, se evaluó el efecto de cuatro densidades de siembra del café (3.600, 5.400, 7.200 y 9.000 plantas/ha) y cinco dosis de fertilizante (12,5%; 25,0%; 50,0%; 75,0% y 100% de las dosis recomendadas en los análisis de suelos), sobre la producción en un sistema agroforestal. El componente arbóreo lo conformaron especies de maderables ya establecidas en la localidad, sin arreglo zonal definido, pero manteniendo una densidad cercana a los 70 árboles/ha. De los resultados obtenidos y de las funciones de producción construidas, pudo inferirse que las producciones mayores se registran con densidades de siembra del café entre 7.200 y 9.000 plantas/ha, nutridas con el 100% de la dosis de fertilizante. Si el sistema de producción se establece a estas densidades de siembra debe realizarse la renovación del cultivo una vez recolectada la cuarta cosecha, cerca de seis años de vida del cultivo. A bajas densidades de siembra los ciclos de renovación del café pueden estar entre la quinta y sexta cosecha, es decir, cerca de 8 años de plantado.
De quoi parlent les grands chefs ? Analyse de la programmation d’événements professionnels gastronomiques
Authors: Naulin Sidonie
Published: January 2021

Les festivals de cuisine destinés aux grands chefs se sont multipliés dans le monde depuis les années 1990. Ils offrent un forum pour les cuisiniers afin de s’adresser à leurs pairs et, par le biais des médias, à la population. L’étude de la programmation de trois des plus importants festivals européens (San Sebastian Gastronomika, Omnivore, MAD Symposium) durant les années 2010 met en évidence l’hétérogénéité des manières de parler de la haute cuisine et des préoccupations des chefs. Chaque festival se caractérise par un angle qui lui est propre mais une convergence se fait jour vers la prise en considération de la responsabilité environnementale et, dans une moindre mesure, sociale, des chefs.
Information or advice? A virtual reality study of message content for road crossing in front of autonomous cars
Authors: Ah-tchine Émeline , de Vries Erica
Published: January 2021

Dans une perspective d’éducation à la sécurité routière et de prévention des accidents, l’étude de l’interaction entre la voiture autonome et le piéton ne peut attendre son introduction sur la voie publique. De manière proactive, cette étude s’intéresse à la décision de traverser en réalité virtuelle. L’objectif est de déterminer l’influence d’un message affiché par une voiture autonome sur la décision de traverser et le sentiment de sécurité. Deux types de message ont été créés lors de focus groupes : des informations sur la vitesse du véhicule et des conseils sur le comportement approprié (par des feux piétons). En utilisant la réalité virtuelle, ces deux types de messages ont été comparés à une voiture autonome sans messages (condition contrôle) et à une voiture opérée par un humain. La tâche consistait à prendre 24 décisions de traversée dans des situations différentes au regard de la configuration de l’infrastructure routière. Les résultats montrent que le comportement de traverser en réalité virtuelle se conforme aux règles du code de la route (conformité aux règles). De plus, une interaction entre le type de voiture et le type de message a été observée lorsque l’infrastructure routière ne dispose pas de feux piétons. Les décisions de traverser sont moins fréquentes devant une voiture autonome affichant des feux piétons (condition conseil). De ce fait, on peut dire que le conseil amène à davantage de prudence lors des décisions de traversée. Enfin, les résultats montrent un sentiment de sécurité élevé sauf dans le cas où les feux piétons sont absents (que ce soit sous forme d’objet dans la situation ou de message de la voiture autonome). Les résultats et des implications pour l’éducation à la sécurité routière sont discutés.
Rediscovery of the endangered lichen Pseudocyphellaria aurata (Lobariaceae, Ascomycota) in mainland Spain
Authors: Olariaga Ibai , Paz-Bermúdez Graciela , Calvo Javier , Etayo Javier , Prieto María
Published: January 2021

Lichens, as well as other organisms, should be considered important biodiversity components for the establishment of priorities in conservation biology. In this study, we report six new recent localities of the highly endangered, epiphytic macrolichen Pseudocyphellaria aurata in Spain: two in Navarra and four in A Coruña. Previous Spanish reports based on literature and herbarium specimens suggest a reduction of the distribution area of P. aurata and local extinction. Pseudocyphellaria aurata is known to be extinct in six localities, where it has not been observed since the middle of the 19th century (Cádiz, Pontevedra, Málaga). Four records reported for central Spain (Zaragoza, Salamanca, Teruel) are considered unplausible. The newly discovered populations are located in well-preserved patches of atlantic deciduous forest with strong oceanic influence, whose long-term ecological stability seems evident because of the presence of ancient trees. Nevertheless, these populations are small, fragmentary, and are threatened by habitat degradation, forestry and maybe fungal pathogens. Two populations, Intzola and Beba (Navarra and A Coruña, respectively), account for 75.7% of thalli. The localities with the highest number of trees colonized by P. aurata are Santa Leocadia and Beba in A Coruña. We reassessed the conservation status of this species concluding that conservation initiatives must be implemented to avoid its extinction in mainland Spain.
Um antropólogo na Mata ou Valores e ideais da formação universitária após a expansão
Authors: Sanabria Guillermo Vega
Published: January 2021

Este trabalho trata dos objetivos da formação em ciências sociais (no linguajar dos documentos oficiais, “o perfil profissional do cientista social”) numa universidade fortemente voltada para as ciências agrárias. Nele retomo minha própria experiência como professor de antropologia num curso criado no final da década de 2000 na Zona da Mata Mineira. Embora o trabalho acadêmico tenha sido privilegiado como campo de atuação dos cientistas sociais, as atividades profissionais deles são hoje, aparentemente, mais diversificadas. Esse fato coloca sérios desafios ao ensino na graduação, sobretudo no que tange aos objetivos da formação nesse nível. Tais desafios parecem maiores após a relativa expansão do sistema universitário nas últimas duas décadas. Se, como é dito amiúde, a criação de novos cursos respondia à crescente demanda por profissionais qualificados na área, convém refletirmos: Como o ensino em nossos cursos se adéqua a tal exigência? Como responde à heterogeneidade e às expectativas de alunos e professores, especialmente após o aumento de pessoas oriundas de grupos historicamente excluídos da educação superior? Como esse cenário impacta nosso senso comum disciplinar acerca do que faz um cientista social?

Os Malês nas margens do Atlântico Negro: desafios da interiorização e da internacionalização da Unilab no Recôncavo Baiano
Authors: Lucca Daniel De , Buti Rafael Palermo
Published: January 2021

O artigo situa o campus dos Malês no “Atlântico negro”, problematizando dimensões do processo de interiorização e internacionalização da Unilab no Recôncavo Baiano por meio de fragmentos da experiência quilombola e africana no território, e considerando a presença do petróleo nas práticas universitárias. A proposta é discutir como as ideias de alteridade e racismo podem intersectar questões econômicas, políticas e ambientais atreladas à cadeia de exploração do “ouro negro”. Após definir problemas e contextualizar o campus dos Malês no Recôncavo, o artigo examina conexões quilombolas com a universidade para então discutir as conflitualidades vividas pelos estudantes africanos na cidade de São Francisco do Conde. Metodologicamente, o trabalho está amparado na análise e descrição de experiências educativas e nas pesquisas desenvolvidas pelos próprios estudantes. O texto levanta processos que confluem e se cruzam no campus dos Malês, ele mesmo um microcosmo no qual se entrelaçam diversos fios e pontos da diáspora afro-atlântica, projetada a partir de diferentes lugares e histórias de engajamento, luta e encontro.
Student Behavior in an Online Learning Environment
Authors: Lin Yu Peng
Published: January 2021

While online courses/programs have become a critical component in the strategy of higher education institutions, the majority of the current academic discussions and evidence are from the institutional side rather than from the students' points of view. An understanding of how students behave when studying an online course can provide a great insight into the effectiveness of online delivery which is the task we embark upon in this study. The chapter per the author carried out the task by, first, summarizing the studies on the implementation strategy of online courses, the “no-significant difference” literature, and the research on the unique characteristics of online learners. Second, the author attempt to understand online learner behavior by analyzing students participation in 15 online courses during the years 2012-2015. The sample includes 106 students and their detailed log-on minutes and grades. The author applied descriptive analysis, a one-way ANOVA, and a simple regression model. The result suggests substantially discounted student attention while learning online.
The Concept of God in the Old Testament
Authors: Eyo Ubong E. , Onah Gregory A.
Published: January 2021

Old Testament studies have posed a lot of challenges to scholarship. They made people like Marcion read it with a pen-knife frame having in mind to cut off those texts of ‘horror' which present the Old Testament God as a wicked God who lacks compassion and the spirit of benevolence. This monstrous presentation of the Old Testament God has propelled some scholars like Pail Copan to ask, is the God (of the Old Testament) a moral or monster? This view of the Old Testament God is occasioned by the challenges involved in the studying of the Old Testament as an ordinary literary work, historical work, archaeological work, or a theological document. Viewing this canon from a theological perspective leads one to reading it from a religious perspective. This brings to the fore studying the religion of the Old Testament from a phenomenological perspective with an eye specifically on the concept of the Old Testament God. From a phenomenological perspective, it shows that the theistic concept was borne from varied experiences. It shows the nature and character of their God.
Phenomenological Study of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as Christians or Not
Authors: Udok Mbosowo Bassey
Published: January 2021

Generally, in Africa and Uyo, Nigeria in particular, religion is not only a social phenomenon but an overriding force to reckon with. Therefore, when religious devotees of different religions do not comprehend the subject, their actions breed social misunderstanding and conflict among religions in society. Phenomenological study of religions is aimed at bringing the essence of religion to the doorpost of its practitioners. The methodology adopted in this chapter was historical and analytical. The methods exposed the researcher to both primary and secondary information about the work. Findings show that there is a misunderstanding of the essence of religion by some adherents of both the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and Christianity; each believes that his/her religion is the best in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The work concludes that when religious culture vis-à-vis the essence of religion is properly understood, love for each other will be realized.
Phenomenology of Religious Experience
Authors: Asha Joseph Olufemi
Published: January 2021

In the Christian tradition, a spiritual experience is a phenomenon that in some sense remains controversial. Nonetheless, spiritual experience in Christianity refers to the personalization of the faith in Christ that transcends the normal. This is, however, critically contested and regrettably unexplored. It lends credence to why contemporary research on religious experience reveals that Christian spiritual experiences have the element of supernatural intervention by the Holy Spirit, although supernatural must not be confused with spectacular. It might be spectacular, as in the case of Paul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). Drawing upon extensive contemporary research, content analysis, and literature on religious experience, this study adopts descriptive methodology as techniques. The study situates religious experience as occurrence in an everyday situation of Christians through which they derive a clear inner realization of “the truth.” Findings reveal a significant implication for collective research on religious and spiritual experiences for Christians.
The Influence of Social Media on Learning
Authors: Gülbahar Yasemin , Afacan Adanır Gülgün
Published: January 2021

During '90s, a debate initiated between Clark and Kozma about the role of media on learning. While Clark proposed that the media had no effect on learning, Kozma proposed that learning is influenced when method and media is combined and appropriately used. In today's world, the role of social media on learning is inevitable since social media is increasingly used by individuals with the purpose of searching for information and watching instructional videos. In this respect, the influence of social media on learning is investigated in this study within the context of Kozma's perspective. Correspondingly, the instructional content provided by social media, the appropriate instructional methods, and implications for learning theories are discussed in this chapter, together with certain practical applications. In the end, social coding platform, collaborative e-learning platform, and virtual classroom management simulation are described as practical social media applications.

Rethinking the Contribution of Organizational Change to the Teaching and Learning of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management
Authors: Mendy John
Published: January 2021

One of the great attributes of acting as a Human Resource Manager is being reasonable. One may not know what is best for a company but one should be able to identify, reasonably, when in-house fighting and resistance on the shop floor are disadvantageous. While agreeing with the law one must also be aware, again reasonably, that it may be in conflict with itself. One's job is to resolve difficulties to the benefit of all parties – once more reasonably – even when one's emotions are on the side of one of the parties. In short, there is a job to do, but there is a difficulty: doing so successfully depends on being reasonable as well as developing expertise. However, being reasonable is precisely what the scientific method does not support although being an expert could be a desirable attribute. It excludes anything that contributes to a bias, including the bias that trust, fairness and team spirit introduce (Huczynski & Buchanan, 2013). The result is well known: the scientific method tends to support commodification, objectification and reification and elicits resistance (Pitsakis & Kuin, 2012; Mahadevan, 2012) even on phenomenon-driven change (Schwarz & Stensaker, 2014). HRM officers do not seem to have done too badly however – albeit without the support of the scientific method (Ford, Ford, & D'Amelio, 2008). This does not mean that support would be wasted or impossible. The aim of the present chapter is to explore what it might look like. The result is a series of recommendations, based on a study showing how some employees proved able to contribute as experts to their companies even after they had been threatened of being fired due to heavy economic weather. This finding serves as an important lesson, i.e. that there are ways other than the scientific method to turn personal motivations and objectives into resources. These ways include creating an HRM/OB platform for change that helps to link people. They make it possible to create structures that help individuals to achieve ‘expert presence', i.e. expertise to deal with difficulties in the workplace in the here and now.
Structural Change Management for Sustainable SME Development
Authors: Molnar Robert M.
Published: January 2021

This chapter addresses several approaches in investigation of the SME life cycles, particularly in respect to the structure, functions and behavior of these businesses. Once SMEs have been established they start to change both their structure and behavior. In fact, it could be stated that SMEs operate in a permanently changing environment. There are a lot of factors which influence these changes and optimizing their management is a great challenge for most SMEs. As a result of these factors and suboptimal SME management practices survival rate of new established SMEs is low. For researchers and practitioners it is therefore crucial to discover how to increase long-term survival chances of SMEs through relevant structural change. In order to contribute to this goal the chapter will consider the conceptual and research framework of the structure and practical management behavior of SMEs in change management processes. The chapter also provides suggestions on how to use practical management tools such as the PEST, SWOT and TOWS matrices and ways of their analysis.

The goal during the experiment was to compare user preferences and effectiveness when performing tasks with the voice synthesizers JAWS and DOSVOX and a braille keyboard. The adopted evaluation protocol includes the following methods: usability testing, focus group, and user satisfaction survey. The study developed with the proposed protocol investigates assistive technology adequacy to target users. The tasks performed by 30 users were categorized as activities of entertainment, learning, and social inclusion. It is considered that the main contribution of this chapter is to provide the protocol and methodology, adapted for use in evaluations of accessibility products and devices.
Mastering Change Management for Successful Digital Supply Chain Transformations
Authors: Sabri Ehap
Published: January 2021

In response to the dramatic changes in the business landscape over the last few years, many companies are launching business transformations leveraging digital technologies to drive sweeping changes in their supply chain processes. The digital supply chain transformation can be evident establishing collaborative forecasting processes, optimizing networks and inventories, etc. Digital supply chain transformation is not a new buzz word. It is the application of digital capabilities to processes, products, and assets to improve supply chain efficiency, enhance customer value, manage risk, and achieve competitive advantage. However, organizations are still facing numerous challenges to transform and perform. Perhaps the most common misunderstanding is that digital transformation is all about the implementation and use of cutting-edge technologies. This chapter will dive deep to understand major challenges to digital supply chain transformations, identify the key drivers and enablers of digital opportunity, and provide a change management framework for digital supply chain transformation.

Published: January 2021

The speed of transformation and development in information and communication technologies is an important fact triggering the restructuring process of public administration. The developing countries have become integrated into this process through public administration reform methods presented by international institutions. Transfer of information and communication technologies have become important for modernizing public administration organizations of developing countries and adapting them to the global system. In multilevel governance, use and implementation of the information technologies enabling network structuring between institutions have a particular importance. In this sense, the purpose of this study is to present the process followed by Turkey for adapting information and communication technologies to public administration organization and provision of public services in the frame of a multilevel governance approach.
Measuring Business-IT Alignment in a Digitally Revolutionized Economy
Authors: Gajardo Pablo Alfonso , La Paz Ariel I.
Published: January 2021

Although the concept of business-IT alignment was once considered one of the most important concerns of organizations, in terms of IT administration, the attention it has received has decreased significantly over the years. This article postulates that strategic alignment initiatives still have the same relevance—in particular for non-IT companies—which means that digital transformation strategies should consider the strategic alignment as a critical issue for their success. Therefore, the persistent relevance of this concept and the need to measure it with updated instruments capable of assessing the degree of maturity reached and feeding back the results to the organizations remains a key topic in IT administration. Based on an updated instrument, adequate for a digital framework, our study surveyed a sample of mostly large Chilean companies. The results obtained reveal the importance to count with an improved model that captures the changes this new digital scenario imposes.
Change Management Serving Knowledge Management and Organizational Development
Authors: Levy Moria
Published: January 2021

Changes are considered a challenge to organizations. Seventy percent of organizational initiatives are not completed. Various Change Management approaches have been developed over the years, yet organizations continue to find changes difficult to implement. This applies to all types of change, but the challenge of change is critical in human resources disciplines, specifically those dealing with Knowledge Management and Organizational Development. This chapter connects changes in these two fields and links them to leadership. It examines theories and implementation models of Change Management, starting with classic approaches, through to new models developed in recent years. Based on this examination, a practical approach drawing on components of the reviewed models is proposed. The suggested approach takes into particular consideration the demands of change in Knowledge Management and Organizational Development.
Policies Information Literacy, Equality, and Gender
Authors: Agúndez-Soriano María Antonia , Cuevas-Cerveró Aurora
Published: January 2021

The development of information and communication technologies (ICT), especially the internet, means that not all the population has the same opportunities of access and use of these technologies or the training necessary to use them effectively. These technologies are producing socio-economic transformations. They also bring about important changes in the way they work, communicate, behave, and socialize. All these changes constitute a factor of social exclusion and have led to the emergence of the so-called digital divide (BD). This BD has accentuated the social gap and has contributed to the fact that certain population groups, such as female inmates, are considered to be “socially excluded” or “excluded digital,” and in the case of these female inmates the gender gap would also be present. The authors presented results of the analysis carried out to know the policies, projects, and programs that are being carried out both in Europe and in Spain in the field of informational and digital literacy for social and labor inclusion, as well as equality and gender policies.
Culture, Technology, and Education in the Digital Age
Authors: Kesim Mehmet
Published: January 2021

The accumulation of information formed by the scientific studies whose foundation stones were put during the Enlightenment period, caused the Industrial Revolution. The most important feature of the modern era was to have a deterministic science approach. The period we are in is called the Postmodern Era. General and Special Relativity Theories, new findings in Quantum Physics and the advances in communication technology caused deep and rooted social, cultural, political and economic change and transformation, and ultimately led to a significant paradigm change. The most important feature of this period is that it has a Relative science approach. While change and transformation are continuing, it is not enough to simply feel and be aware of the rapid change and transformation of culture, education and training. In this study, changes and transformations during the Renaissance up to the present has been tried to be indicated by the results of scientific studies.
