Disruption, Disruptors and Disruptiveness of Scholarly Communication: An Actor-Network Theory Approach
Authors: Praun Alina , Cunningham Anna , Pieperhoff Martina
Published: August 2022

The rise of Open Access, the increasing pace of scientific work, the serial crisis and the need for interdisciplinary research are just some examples of the current disruptions of traditional scholarly communication. As publishing is a significant practice for distributing scientific knowledge and therefor for academic knowledge management, an understanding of the current disruptions in the field is necessary for the future development and maintenance of the system. The paper presents a conceptualization of disruptions drawing from Latour’s Actor-Network-Theory with reference to current understandings of disruption. The aim of the research is the identification and mapping of current disruptions, their disruptors and the disruptiveness in scholarly communication in the field of economic and social sciences by analyzing scientific editorials. Therefore, a short overview about previous analyses of scientific editorials is presented. For the sampling of editorials, a systematic literature search was conducted using Web of Science, followed by an application and comparison of Text Mining operations using R. Afterwards an in-depth investigation of the disruptors as source of disruption and disruptiveness as potential of disruption will be following using qualitative content analysis. The insights of this research will be helpful for anticipating and overcoming the current disruptions as well as for identifying and dealing with future disruptions in the field.

Knowledge Management for Integrated Health and Social Care – The Case of Keusote in Finland
Authors: Hujala Tuomas , Laihonen Harri
Published: August 2022

Knowledge management is expected to contribute to the management of health and social services as the challenges of the present and future are addressed. It is expected that organizations working in the field can be developed, thereby deriving efficiency benefits as well as promoting the effectiveness of services through knowledge management. However, despite the increasing interest in knowledge management as an organizational practice, there is a lack of evidence and practices showing how an effective knowledge management system should be designed, implemented, and promoted in health and social care organization. The integration of highly specialized and professionalized organizational cultures and traditions constitutes a complex context for managing knowledge. The purpose of this article is to identify development needs related to knowledge management systems in integrated health and social care and based on a case study suggest KM initiatives for responding these needs. The found key factors for knowledge management relate to strategic orientation, careful analysis of the organization’s knowledge and expertise, and an ability to harness these in a cross-administrative, multi-professional and strategy-oriented way. The qualitative analysis is based on the strategic documentation, the results of an external evaluation of the case organization’s knowledge management practices, and notes and other documentation of internal development workshops carried out in the case organization.
Implementing a European KM Approach in a Brazilian Innovation Institute on a Remote Basis
Authors: Will Markus , Budde Felix , Orth Ronald , Neumann Fernanda , Santos Victoria
Published: August 2022

This case study paper outlines the approach and experiences gained in a KM project conducted between two continents on a completely remote basis – due to the pandemic in 2021. The project scope comprises the systematic initiation, design and implementation of a comprehensive knowledge management system at an innovation institute in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The practical business process-oriented KM (BPO-KM) methodology of the Berlin-based Competence Center Knowledge Management at Fraunhofer IPK, was used to define KM goals, to analyze strengths and gaps in knowledge handling and to set up customized KM action programs.

Starting with the examination of the institute’s business strategy, the overall KM goals were derived together with the institute’s top management and KM core team. According to the holistic KM approach on the levels “People, Organization, Technology”, an online survey (“KM Fitness Check”) was conducted with over 100 respondents. The survey results were discussed in an online kick-off workshop in order to prioritize the main strategic and operational KM challenges.

In online breakout sessions with different working groups, using collaborative online tools, the knowledge flows inside the institute’s value adding core processes were analyzed in depth (“KM Process Profiles”). In parallel, the KM core team was supported to develop a map of the institute’s crucial knowledge to serve as a common taxonomy for the research groups and administrative functions involved in the KM project, such as HR, IT and project management office.

After this initial analysis phase, suitable solutions for the main KM challenges were designed and transformed into three main action programs to start the actual implementation of the institute’s KM system. In a preliminary evaluation, a systemic controlling logic was defined to keep track on results, benefits and impacts of the KM actions regarding the institute’s business strategy.

Major learnings, discussed in this paper, include the following findings: a) accompanying change management and communication from the beginning is key to keep motivation high, b) connecting KM to other organizational functions is crucial to anchor KM in the organization, c) remote and online project collaboration bears advantages and drawbacks.
How to Implement Knowledge Management in Financial Institutions?
Authors: DE BORBA DARCI
Published: August 2022

We developed a framework for implementing knowledge management in financial institutions using a positivist and exploratory approach through qualitative research with 27 professionals in the field. The proposal is innovative due to the lack of structures that combine performance measures, KM pillars, KM processes, critical factors in the implementation and the suggestion of each of the factors according to the maturity level of KM Implementation. A flowchart is proposed for the practical application of the knowledge constructed. FIGCIF supports improvement: in acquiring knowledge resulting from academic work, in increasing tacit knowledge, in formulating instructions and normative manuals to improve understanding and use, in selecting information systems to have the ability to deliver information by through its set of rules and interaction between processes and in the defense of financial investments, aiming to generate confidence in the adoption of KM in banking institutions.
Cultural Semiotics in Strategy Conversation: Taking a Position on Strategy Through Knowledge Transfer
Authors: Smith Graeme
Published: August 2022

This study reviews knowledge management as a construct for analysing strategy discourse; identifying key strategy artefacts; and how they may be interpreted by key stakeholders engaged in strategy discourse. The importance of storytelling and narrative in the development of strategy is recognised. In developing the notion of strategy as a people orientated construct, this study provides a theoretical foundation for the determination of how stakeholders in strategy may take a position on strategy. This study defines an organisational model of the social interactions affecting knowledge transfer within organisations arising from problems of knowledge location, retention, and transfer. This ontological enquiry captures the epistemological characteristics of strategy artefacts interpreted by stakeholders in a senior management team. This paper goes on to underpin the value of a semiotic view as a diagnostic tool to determine the position that stakeholders take in the context of existing strategy discourse. From an etymological perspective this study posits a typology based upon a semiotic framework to help diagnose how stakeholders take a position based on their interpretation of key strategy artefacts; and to understand the nature of interpretation as a means of intervention by which the strategy narrative may be reshaped. What is of interest is how storytelling and narrative empowers individuals as they seek to disseminate and transfer knowledge from the past to shape the future. This study reveals the inflection that individuals may exert on knowledge artefacts; and the motivation of those who trade in knowledge assets, through storytelling and narrative, as players in the game of strategy search for coping strategies to adapt to the new reality. Ultimately this study provides new insight into the power of semiotics in the early stage; and constructivism in the later stages of the knowledge management continuum; and describes how participants in strategy adopt a position on strategy.

Published: August 2022

Education is essential for the development of skills and talents that enable people to be productive citizens and active members of society. Traditional modes of education, on the other hand, are no longer enough to fulfill society's complex expectations, as people frequently change occupations, seek new educational possibilities, and struggle to manage life, work, and compete for educational demands (Houlden & Veletsians, 2019). The study's challenge derives from the foregoing: " What Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can be used in higher education to foster the learning-teaching process?" As a result of the findings of a literature study, it is now possible to identify information and communication technologies (ITCs) that may be employed in higher education to enhance the learning and teaching process.

Published: August 2022

A new simple, accurate, precise, rapid and selective high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method has been developed for simultaneous determination of ramipril and valsartan in capsules. Identification and determination were performed on 10 cm × 10 cm aluminum-backed TLC plates, coated with 0.2 mm layers of silica gel 60 F254, previously washed with methanol using ethyl acetate : chloroform: glacial acetic acid, (8:2:0.2, v/v) as mobile phase. Detection was carried out densitometrically using UV detector at 220 nm. The Rf values were 0.15 for ramipril and 0.49 for valsartan. The linear response for ramipril and valsartan was observed over 800 – 4000 ng/spot (r = 0.9933) and 800 – 4000 ng/spot (r = 0.9906), respectively. The recovery was found to be % and % for ramipril and valsartan, respectively. The suitability of this HPTLC method for quantitative determination of these compounds is proved by validation in accordance with the requirements of ICH Guidelines. © 2011 IGJPS. All rights reserved

Nanoemulsions in Cancer Therapy
Authors: Khatri Smriti , Lohani Pratyush , Gandhi Shweta
Published: August 2022

Emulsions are two-phase mixtures of insoluble liquids in which a “continuous phase” surrounds discrete vesicles of the “dispersed phase”. Nanoemulsions or mini-emulsions or ultrafine emulsions or submicron emulsions are transparent or translucent oil-in-water (o/w) or water-in-oil droplets with a mean droplet diameter in the range between 100 and 500 nm. Nanoemulsion-based delivery system is superior to conventional topical dosage forms, such as ointment and gels, in several respects. Nanoemulsions are composed of safe, well-characterized ingredients, combined in a proprietary manner to yield stable emulsion. Cancer is a class of disorders characterized by abnormal growth of cells proliferating in an uncontrolled way.The efficiency of anticancer drugs is limited by their unsatisfactory properties, such as poor solubility, narrow therapeutic window, and intensive cytotoxicity to normal tissues, which may be the causes of treatment failure in cancer. Nanoemulsions increase the solubility of drugs exhibiting poor water solubility through entrapment in the core of the nanoemulsion droplets. © 2011 IGJPS. All rights reserved.
Impact of O3, SO2 and NO2 on Carbohydrate Content Level in Bean Plant (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Grown Under Ascorbic Acid at Various Sites of Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Authors: AbdulRahman Al-Muwayhi Mohammed
Published: August 2022

This study was conducted at three locations of Riyadh under varying pollution of ozone, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide gases. The bean seeds were grown in three pots under concentrations of ascorbic acid (zero, 100, 200, 300 mg/L). The results showed that the concentration of polluted air in the Riyadh was gradually increased during the study period, reaching concentration of ozone gas to 77 (ppb) at the urban area site, sulfur dioxide gas to 21 (ppb) at the site of the sub-urban area and the nitrogen dioxide gas to 22 (ppb) in a urban area. The results also showed that there was a significant effect of those pollutants on carbohydrate content, where the content of monosaccharides in beans leaves were ranging between 8.1 to 5.7 (mg/g) at the rural area and the urban area sites, respectively. The disaccharides content was ranging between 23.0 to 20.6 (mg/g) at rural area and urban area sites, respectively. The polysaccharides content was ranged between 38.8 (mg/g) at rural area and 33.7 (mg/g) in an urban area sites, respectively. The study also proved that ascorbic acid (ASA) had a positive role on the metabolism of carbohydrates and provides plant resistance to oxidizer ozone gas, which supports the proposed role of ascorbic acid in the removal of toxic free radical species, in addition to its ability to resist environmental stress factors. © 2011 IGJPS.

Cramér-Rao Lower Bounds of Model-Based Electrocardiogram Parameter Estimation
Authors: Fattahi Davood , Sameni Reza
Published: August 2022

Clinical parameter estimation from the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a recurrent field of research. It is debated that ECG parameters estimation by human experts and machines/algorithms is always model-based (implicitly or explicitly). Therefore, all estimation algorithms used in this context have performance bounds in terms of the achievable mean squared error, which are not exceedable. These bounds depend on the adopted data-model, the estimation scheme (least-squares error, maximum likelihood, or Bayesian), and prior assumptions on the model parameters and noise distributions.

In this research, we develop a comprehensive theoretical framework for ECG parameter estimation and derive the Cramér-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) for the most popular signal models used in the ECG modeling literature, namely functional expansions (including polynomials) and sum of Gaussian functions. The developed framework is evaluated over real and synthetic data for three popular applications: T-to-R wave ratio estimation, ST-segment analysis and QT-interval estimation, using the state-of-the-art estimators in each context. The proposed framework and the derived CRLBs provide practical guidelines for the selection of data-models, sampling frequency (beyond the Nyquist rate), modeling segment length, number of beats required for ECG beat averaging, and other factors that influence the accuracy of ECG-based clinical parameter estimation.

Il contesto storico attuale è caratterizzato da una crescente attenzione alle problematiche ambientali, percepite come vere e proprie emergenze da affrontare su scala globale con elevata priorità. In premessa, la situazione congiunturale della guerra in corso sul territorio ucraino viene analizzata esclusivamente sul versante ambientale e, in particolare, per i risvolti legati all’alterazione degli habitat e all’aumento delle emissioni climalteranti in atmosfera. Le convenzioni ambientali dell’ONU in materia di cambiamenti climatici, di diversità biologica e di lotta alla desertificazione rappresentano un punto di riferimento imprescindibile per la transizione verso uno sviluppo realmente sostenibile. In tale contesto si incardina e declina l’attività del Comando Unità Forestali, Ambientali e Agroalimentari dell’Arma dei Carabinieri (CUFA), sia come forza di polizia ambientale strutturata ed efficiente nel garantire la prevenzione dei reati in danno all’ambiente, alle foreste e al settore agroalimentare nel nostro Paese, sia in proiezione internazionale. Questa impostazione viene perseguita nell’ambito di una nuova “diplomazia ambientale” in grado di esportare le buone pratiche all’interno di un perimetro di cooperazione definito in accordo con le Agenzie dell’ONU e in raccordo con i riferimenti istituzionali nazionali.

Abstract: The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of public expenditure on economic development in Nigeria. The design adopted for this study was ex-post-facto; data used for analysis were elicited from Central Bank Statistical Bulletin and Federal Ministry of Finance. To achieve this broad objective, a model was formulated based on empirical and theoretical reviews. The model used Human Development Index (HDI) as the dependent variable while public capital expenditure, public recurrent expenditure and external borrowing were the independent variables in the model. This study employed the Fully Modified Least Squares (FMOLS) Model to analyze data.The findings elicited from this study revealed that public capital expenditure, public recurrent expenditure and external borrowing all had positive and significant impact on human development index within the scope of this study. Inferential result deduced that public expenditure had positive and significant impact on economic development in Nigeria. The study recommended that urgent need to instill fiscal discipline in government expenditures by initiating far reaching effective internal control measures and more proactive economic management coordination and implementation as well as discouraging all non-productive activities and expenditures in all tiers of government forthwith. Government recurrent expenditure should be channeled to have effects on the economy, enhancing and promoting growth and development in the process. All non- productive activities and expenditure need to be reviewed forthwith while the role of government should be reappraised with more emphasis on providing the enabling policy environment for private sector initiatives.
Combining interviews and drawings: methodological considerations
Authors: VIROLE Louise , Elise RICADAT
Published: August 2022

Framework: In qualitative research, drawing on a blank sheet of paper during the interview is one of the tools in the researcher’s toolbox. This technique is increasingly used in social sciences, but is still rarely included in research on social support for the chronically ill. Goals and Methods: The objective of this paper is to analyze the advantages of an innovative research method that uses both drawings and semi-structured interviews to study support networks of chronically ill patients. This method was used to conduct a qualitative research on changes in chronically ill support networks in France during the lockdown period (March-May 2020). The study triangulates three types of sources: 1. From chronically ill patients' oral accounts of their experience of lockdown, collected during 32 semi-directive interviews; 2. From the chronically ill patients’ drawings of support networks they were asked to make by the end of the interviews; 3. From their oral description of the drawn elements. Results: The drawing technique has several advantages: i. the playful nature of the drawing facilitates the degree of adhesion and interest in the investigation process, ii.  it leads to greater reflexivity on the part of the respondents, iii. triangulation of the data from the narratives and the network drawings brings to light some unexpected results: it highlighted which types of support are valued or invisibilized and revealed the important support role of non-humans during lockdown. Conclusions: The complementary use of drawings and narratives allows a more detailed and complex qualitative analysis. However, this method requires investigators to take special precautions before, during and after the field work.

In the first, the scholarship application is registered or scholarship cancellation is requested, in the second, the management of scholarship is conducted. These systems were implemented 20 years ago, under the web and desktop platform modality respectively. Based on current needs and obsolescence of the used technology, incidents occur in most of its tasks, causing a bad user experience in the use of the systems, as well as critical bottlenecks have been detected, delay times that reduce efficiency throughout the process. This article describes the proposal for the redesign of the new scholarship process using the process analysis methodology (PADM). This to propose improvements in their tasks, supported by the implementation of a unique and integrated web system.
العلاقة بين اللغة و الثقافة
Authors: Diantika Devi Eka
Published: August 2022

"اللغة من أعظم الآلات التي يستخدمها البشر فى تحقيق التعاون فيما بينهم، ووسيلة تعاونه فى حمل المعاني المختلفة التي يرغب فى إيصاله للغير. اللغة هي جزء من الثقافة، والثقافة تحدد هوية الشعوب. أي أن اللغة تعني هوية المجتمعات. اللغة هي وسيلة للتواصل بين أفراد المجتمع وإذا حرمت المجتمعات من اللغة فإنها تحرم من وسيلة التواصل والتعبير. فالمجتمعات تتواصل وتتفاهم عبر اللغة، لذلك لا يمكن أن توجد الشعوب بدون وجود اللغة. في وقتنا الراهن إذا أردنا أن نبني مجتمعاً فيجب العودة إلى تاريخ وثقافة ولغة ذلك المجتمع وإلا فإن ذلك المجتمع لن ينتمي إلى تلك الثقافة وذلك التاريخ. وتجمع الفرضية سابير-وهورف بين مبدأين هما: النسبية اللغوية والحتمية اللغوية، ولا تزعم نظرية النسبية اللغوية أن البناء اللغوي يحد من تفكير الناس وفهمهم للأشياء، ولكنها تزعم أن البناء اللغوي يؤثر فيما يفكر فيه الناس وما يفهمونه بشكل منظم."

In the midst of its massive use of smartphones by almost all modern people, television remains present in their daily lifes, filling their free time with various information and entertainment. Although television is no longer the only thing that dominates modern people, the role played by television remains large and even still influences the habits and culture of modern people. This research is a library research that aims to find the influence and impact caused by television on modern people by using the perspective of technology philosophy and human philosophy. Based on the research that has been done, television is proven to still have a very large impact on modern people, on their character, behavior and even on their existence, positively and negatively. The dominance of television in shaping the character of the younger generation still seems very large. This is evident in the lifestyle of modern society that is so easy to imitate the style of artists or public figures who often appear on television and get strong branding. This can have a positive or negative effect, depending on which side is followed from the behavior of a public figure. But the more important thing is the freedom for everyone to be himself, to be authentic, and not just follow the flow desired by a television program producer.
