The process of creating new services by integrating existing ones is known as service composition. It is regarded as one of the most difficult tasks in a distributed and dynamic setting. In general, the composition process entails looking for existing services in a certain domain, selecting the suitable service, coordinating composition flow, and activating services. Researchers have been studying the need of web service composition using artificial intelligence extensively over the last few years. As a result, numerous solutions and novel approaches to addressing this issue are given. Our goal in this research is to use artificial intelligence to personalize web services composition. In our case, we employed natural language processing (NLP) to examine the descriptions and functionality of existing online services. Based on the user profile, AI algorithms can recommend and select appropriate services that meet the user’s needs. The experimental study shows that the proposed model can achieve robust results. In fact, our solution achieves 99.45% accuracy and 99.74% Precision.

Artificial Intelligence Adoption in the Manufacturing Sector: Challenges and Strategic Framework
Authors: Masod Muhammad Yusuf Bin , Zakaria Siti Farhana
Published: October 2024

In today’s competitive business landscape, manufacturing organizations are increasingly recognizing the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance productivity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Despite AI’s transformative applications across various sectors, its adoption within the manufacturing industry remains underexplored, with many firms facing unique challenges such as organizational complexity, legacy systems, and a shortage of specialized digital skills. This study conducts a comprehensive literature review to identify the key factors influencing AI adoption in manufacturing, categorizing them into technological, organizational, and external dimensions. Technological factors include perceived benefits, system compatibility, data quality, cost and IT infrastructure, while organizational factors encompass top management support, employee competencies, and organizational readiness. External influences involve government regulations, competitive pressures, and vendor support. By synthesizing findings from multiple empirical studies, we develop a conceptual framework based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) model, highlighting how these dimensions interact to shape AI adoption decisions. The proposed framework highlights the critical role of leadership commitment, strategic alignment of AI initiatives, and the necessity for robust technological infrastructure. It also emphasizes the impact of external factors such as supportive government policies and market competitiveness on accelerating AI integration. The study’s implications are significant for academics seeking to fill research gaps, industry practitioners aiming for successful AI implementation, and policymakers interested in fostering an environment conducive to technological advancement. While the framework offers a structured approach to understanding AI adoption in manufacturing, the study acknowledges the need for empirical validation. Future research should test the framework across different manufacturing sectors and regions to account for industry-specific factors and regional variations. By addressing these areas, organizations can better navigate the complexities of AI adoption, enhancing competitiveness and innovation in the manufacturing sector.

Authors: Ferreira Luís Vicente , Berti-Pinto Sonia Sueli
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo geral abordar um diálogo possível entre Biomedicina e Neuropsicopedagogia, particularizando-se em um relato de vivência na atuação gestora de uma equipe multiprofissional em uma clínica privada de atendimento específico de crianças, jovens e adultos na perspectiva da inclusão educativa. Justifica-se o estudo em face de haver poucos trabalhos, até o momento, com o apontamento da interface biomédica atuando simultaneamente na saúde e educação inclusiva. O relato tem como base teórica os saberes de interdisciplinaridade, transdisciplinaridade e complexidade aplicados ao atendimento inclusivo. Para a realização do estudo, recorreu-se à metodologia descritiva qualitativa. Desse modo, observa-se que o discurso da interdisciplinaridade, quando levado à prática profissional requer a busca de consensos que geram conflitos transformadores. O estudo preliminar permite concluir que há a necessidade de se realizar mais pesquisas, visando a elucidar como as contribuições que a Biomedicina aliada à Neuropsicopedagogia poderiam melhorar resultados na prática clínica com a educação inclusiva.
Human Resource Management Activities, Employee Retention and Turnover in Nepalese Service Sector Organizations
Authors: Pradhan Gopal Man , Shrestha Prakash , Wagle Debendra Kumar
Published: October 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of human resource management (HRM) activities, which include employee promotion, training and development, and financial rewards on employee retention and employee turnover trends. This survey comprised managerial and assistant-level employees from commercial banks and other service businesses. The results show an influential and positive relationship between employee promotion, training and development financial rewards, and employee retention. In contrast, there is a considerable negative association between employee promotion, training and development and financial rewards, and employee turnover in service sector organizations. The retention of employees in the organization for a long time would be supportive from two perspectives: firstly, it can develop the working efficiency of the employees and secondly, employees become loyal to the organization. This greatly contributes to the efficient and successful functioning of the organization in the society. However, high employee turnover would have a negative impact on the long-term functioning of the organizations.

Técnica em nós, de Zamiátin
Authors: Bittencourt Roberto Nunes
Published: October 2024

Entre os pensadores e diversos outros intelectuais (como sociólogos, historiadores e antropólogos) há uma grande discussão sobre as dimensões da técnica. É claro que para outras pessoas pode parecer uma longa e improfícua discussão, sem muito fundamento e justificativa. O que seria a técnica e como seu avanço tem impactado a sociedade, a humanidade? É a partir disso que quero faço uma discussão, não tão longa, sobre a ideia de técnica: ou, em outras palavras, de forma menos rígida como a filosofia propõe, sobre a tecnologia e como ela tem impactado a humanidade. Tomando como ponto de partida o pensamento de Ortega y Gasset, que versa sobre a forma como a tecnologia influi sobre a sociedade humana a partir de alguns eixos bem instigantes, este ensaio analisa uma obra literária de ficção científica distópica da literatura russa: Nós, de Zamiátin

Pediatricians are in a unique position to educate families about these platforms, promote responsible usage, and advise parents to keep an eye out for any issues related to exposure to improper information, cyberbullying, or "Facebook depression."

In this paper, we propose a job title recommendation system using a combination of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning. We implement a TF-IDF Vectorizer and cosine similarity to recommend jobs based on user inputs like skills, experience, industry, and role category. The system was built using Python and integrated into a user-friendly interface using Streamlit, enabling personalized recommendations. We evaluate the accuracy of recommendations and discuss potential improvements
