Authors: Iufereva Anastasiia , Risi Elisabetta
Published: September 2024

The paper focuses on fake news as one of the most serious threats and distinguishing features of the post-truth period, which is defined by the following aspects: the rise of diverse sources of information on the Internet, the devaluation of facts, and the proliferation of fake news. These conditions necessitate a revision of the algorithm, the verification and presentation of information, as well as tactics and techniques for dealing with fake news. The purpose of this research is to describe the distinct characteristics of fake news. The authors have specifically extracted research from the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar search databases; the sample includes 120 scientific articles with titles related to fake news that were published after 2016 when the term "fake news" gained legitimacy after being named word of the year by Collins (usage of the term increased by 365% since 2016). The analysis focused on key definitions of fake news suggested in each selected research and its permanent and non-permanent characteristics.
Enhancing Knowledge Legacy: Strategies for Employees with Long Scientific Seniority in Construction Academia
Authors: Tomiczak Katarzyna
Published: September 2024

This paper presents the results of a pilot survey conducted as part of a doctoral research project on the management of tacit knowledge of employees with long scientific seniority (LSS), defined as 25+ years post-doctorate, focusing on knowledge transfer in the academic environment related to construction. This planned research aims to identify the best methods to support the dissemination of tacit knowledge of LSS employees among employees of other generations. The primary goal was to create a model that supports the transfer of LSS tacit knowledge to other employees. The research question is: How should the tacit knowledge of LSSs be managed to preserve and pass their legacy on to younger generations? A pilot online survey was conducted with three groups of respondents: LSSs, their leaders (L-LSS), and co-workers(C-LSS). The anonymous survey included 72 statements in five areas: 1. awareness of tacit knowledge, 2. personal motivation to share tacit knowledge; 3. the traditional approach versus the innovative approach; and 4. organisational support for knowledge sharing; 5. management of generational diversity. The first two areas contained different questions for each of the three groups, whereas areas 3–5 contained identical survey questions. Responses were recorded on a five-point Likert scale. The pilot study involved research institute employees who volunteered to participate. The study sample consisted of 22 participants. The group of respondents comprised four generations. The lowest mean (below 3.0) concerned statements in Areas 2 and 4. Similarly, a median (equal to 3) was obtained for these areas. The remaining areas had a mean of 3.1 or above, with a median of 4. The standard deviation ranged from 0.93 (Area 3) to 1.25 (Area 2), which indicates that Area 2 (personal motivation to share tacit knowledge) and Area 4 (organisational support in sharing knowledge) are important areas for further analysis. The next step (February 2024) will be to conduct an online survey of two technical universities and two research institutes in Poland, followed by in-depth interviews (spring/summer 2024). The same procedure will be used for all the four European institutions (2024). The value of this study lies in determining the best practices for generational tacit knowledge sharing.
Conceptual Model of Knowledge Management Implementation in the Heavy Equipment Industry to Enhance Innovation and Productivity
Authors: Anwari Ahmad
Published: September 2024

Productivity and innovation are two components that are very important for the progress of a company. Business competition, rapidly changing situations and the increasingly short life cycle of a product require companies to be able to carry out exploration and exploitation in order to achieve high performance and at the same time maintain business continuity. Knowledge plays an important role in improving exploration and exploitation capabilities, so every company needs to pay special attention to how to manage knowledge so that it can be utilized optimally. Therefore, the role of knowledge management becomes very important. From the research of previous researchers, the implementation of knowledge management in various knowledge-intensive industries has been widely carried out. The heavy equipment industry, which has its own character and uniqueness, also requires a knowledge management model. This research is aimed at developing a conceptual model of knowledge management in the heavy equipment industry based on knowledge management models that have been introduced by previous researchers. It is hoped that the results of this research can help companies operating in the heavy equipment industry to implement knowledge management so that they can increase their innovation capabilities and productivity
Innovation in Food Processing Supply Chains: The Role of Social, and Cognitive Capital Development
Authors: Nguyen Hung , Yang Ying , Onofrei George
Published: September 2024

In supply chains, social attributes, such as trust, and commitment, are key drivers of efficiency performance. In the agriculture industry in developing countries like Vietnam, social capital may have a greater role when other formal systems are not in place. This study empirically tests the mediating role of supply chain absorptive capability as a complementary asset to leverage social, and cognitive capital to enhance innovation performance. This research examined small food producers using a standard questionnaire and captured 85 responses in Vietnam. The findings showed that social capital plays a more significant role in enhancing absorptive capability, highlighting the need for a structural resource network in developing regions. Food processing firms benefit from the direct and indirect influence of absorptive capability. Absorptive capability acts as a catalyst in enhancing cognitive, and social capital for improving innovation outcomes, such as new product development. The food producers should not just stop at sharing and capturing information, but move forward to deploy new ideas and learned knowledge. The results urge agricultural businesses to establish networks with supply chain partners, who can significantly impact the development of new ideas, and quickly exploit new knowledge to accommodate resources for sustainable agricultural strategies.
Intellectual Capital Management in Performing Arts: A Case Study
Authors: Matos Florinda , Matos Nuno
Published: September 2024

The permanent search for organizational competitiveness in a context marked by sustainability objectives and digital transformation leads companies to develop management tools and models that guarantee them a high level of competition. Understanding intellectual capital management (ICM) processes in the different areas of business activity is, therefore, a priority for creating value. This research aims to analyse ICM through an audit of its main dimensions and try to understand its relationship with knowledge management processes, namely the retention and transfer of knowledge in an area that still needs to be explored: the performing arts industry. The performing arts, also known as 'creative experience providers', are professional areas based on arts and culture, which are based on selling cultural shows (e.g., theatres, ballet companies, orchestras) and whose professional activity is acting for audiences. The research methodology is based on a case study carried out in a Portuguese performing arts organization. The theoretical support model was an intellectual capital management model previously tested in companies with a different profile than these organizations. The main findings point out that intellectual capital management in the performing arts industry can be audited. However, adjustments must be made to these industries' working realities. It was also concluded that intellectual capital management is a critical factor in the success and survival of these industries, so the management of this asset and its valorization is strategic. The uniqueness of this study is its contribution to stimulating data-driven discussions regarding the necessity of improving intellectual capital management practices in organizations, with particular emphasis on organizations such as those in the performing arts sector, where the most significant value is centred on the intangible assets of each worker.

How Enterprises Engage Generation Z in Crowdsourcing: Differences Between Poland and Great Britain
Authors: Korombel Anna , Ławińska Olga
Published: September 2024

Companies are increasingly using crowdsourcing to gain the knowledge, experience and creativity of a given community, commonly referred to as ‘crowd wisdom’. The use of crowdsourcing on a large scale is possible thanks to the space created by the Internet and social media. This space is also an environment in which the digital Generation Z, an important partner for businesses, now comprising more than a third of the world’s population, is eager to spend time. Already recognized as revolutionizing for economies and markets, this generation is the most technologically advanced of all cohorts. Previously, older generations have passed on knowledge and experience to younger generations, but now we are faced with the opposite: for the first time, the youngest generation is an authority and has a wealth of knowledge that other generations do not have. The aim of the article is to identify and assess the factors that determine the involvement of Generation Z representatives in solving enterprise problems in the form of crowdsourcing and to indicate the impact of gender and place of residence of Generation Z representatives on their involvement in this activity. Empirical studies conducted in Poland and Great Britain in 2023 using the CAWI technique and a questionnaire helped to achieve the objective of this study. The results of the survey allow to indicate the most important motives for engagement of Generation Z in crowdsourcing in both countries. Relationships between the above-mentioned motives and gender and the place of residence of members of Generation Z were also identified. The conclusions of the study are only an extension of theoretical knowledge, but also implications for managers that want to encourage members of Generation Z to cooperate on the basis of crowdsourcing.

Authors: Cristofaro Concetta lucia , Vesperi Walter , Reina Rocco , Melina Anna Maria , Ventura Marzia
Published: September 2024

To respond to changes in the global competitive context, organizations must base their competitive advantage on the enhancement of new knowledge within production and decision-making processes. At the same time, the continuous processes of innovation and technological advancement define a higher rate of knowledge obsolescence. With these premises, organizations find themselves constantly introducing new knowledge into their processes and, at the same time, setting aside knowledge that has now become obsolete. Corporate museums represent organizations that collect organizational artifacts of a parent organization. The main theoretical contributions on the phenomenon of corporate museums have offered a focused contribution on the marketing and corporate communication perspective. In fact, there are few studies on corporate museums in knowledge management studies. From the theoretical perspective of knowledge management, corporate museums represent a place where the knowledge of a parent organization is collected and narrated through its organizational artefacts. This study aims to analyze corporate museums as a place for collecting, exploitation and transferring the organizational memory of a parent organisation. The study is based on the analysis of a case study. A corporate museum connected to the agrifood sector was analysed, through interviews and analysis of company documents. The findings of this study can be traced back to theoretical contributions and practical implications. From the perspective of theoretical contribution, this study analyzes the corporate museum as “ba”, or as a place for collecting and sharing knowledge. From the perspective of managerial implications, the results highlight that the corporate museum can take on a strategic role in the valorisation and diffusion of organizational memory. It follows that the museum can be considered as a BA capable of generating new knowledge and innovation to be transferred within the parent organization. The results of this study offer new theoretical and empirical contributions to studies on knowledge management, on the phenomenon of corporate museums linked to the agrifood sector. The agrifood sector has demonstrated a greater need to enhance and implement knowledge in its organizational processes, through mechanisms that take into consideration the peculiarities of the sector.

Authors: Sipa Monika , Sitek Marcin
Published: September 2024

Due to the important role of knowledge and innovation in the development of organisations or economies, these issues continue to receive considerable attention from practitioners and researchers. Knowledge and innovation are closely related concepts. Without proper knowledge management (KM), it is difficult to design and implement changes, while, on the other hand, innovation creates a demand for new areas of knowledge and continuously develops it. The main objective of this paper is to identify the leading challenges in knowledge management and innovation, by exploring the key themes, their connections and the latest research trends in this area. Using the SCOPUS citation database, publications were reviewed to answer the following questions: (RQ1) How has the perspective of academic research addressing both knowledge management and innovation evolved over the last twenty years? and (RQ2) What are the leading research areas and new trends in research simultaneously addressing knowledge management and innovation? The analysis covered the years 2003-2023. The collected data was pre-selected and then, based on the frequency of co-occurrence of key terms, mapping was performed and keywords were extracted using VOSviewer software. In the years under review, there has been an increase in the number of publications dealing with the topic of knowledge management, including those linked to innovation. Publications in this field are mainly concentrated in three research areas: Business, Management and Accounting, Computer Science and Engineering. Most studies come from China. The dominant research unit in this research area, according to the affiliation of the researchers, is LUT University. Issues such as knowledge sharing and transfer of knowledge, learning organisations, competition or information management among others, continue to be of interest to researchers. Among the most recent trends, research is dominated by: green innovations, mediating roles, big data and covid-19. The study helps to understand the challenges that have arisen for research in the analyzed area in the last two decades. It can provide a valuable study and a guide for identifying available and future research directions on knowledge management and innovation.

Published: September 2024

The organizers of the world record attempt regarding gathering the largest number of singersongwriters in the world in a song writing camp (RENA SONG FEST 2024). From previous investigations, we know that there are certain steps in the development of a song, and that to develop a song that can be produced, they need to finish each step within a time frame. This has been a tacit knowledge. Hence, to organize for a vast number of groups they need to disseminate this knowledge to the ones that are to supervise and aid the groups towards a product that can be developed for production. In this paper we investigate how the managers at Woods developed a process for implementing and disseminating the knowledge needed to mentor the different groups taking part in the song writing camp. This two-tier mentorship will revisit the SECI-model and allow us to investigate if and how the organizers utilize this model to aid the supervisors in their work with the different songwriter groups.

Emergency Preparedness Training Using Virtual Reality Games: Allowing Knowledge Transfer in the Digital Age
Authors: Keya Rashika Tasnim
Published: September 2024

When unexpected incidents occur, such as fire outbreaks or floods, individuals who lack knowledge on how to handle such events are often shocked and unable to act efficiently. Virtual Reality (VR) technology promises to compensate for the lack of traditional teaching environments by immersing users in virtual learning environments with real-life relevance for many emergency scenarios. The primary objective of this paper is to provide a better understanding of how to raise awareness of emergencies and learn to manage unforeseen situations using VR games. Based on a theoretical background examining available literature on Knowledge Transfer (KT), VR and learning theories, we illustrate a case depicting how to handle a fire emergency at a school building. The case describes a VR game to inform students about the necessary steps for preparedness and discuss its utilization as an educational module in a course. Based on this, an Inclusive VR for KT (IVR-KT) framework is proposed that contributes to increasing the understanding of planning and assessing emergency preparedness training in education. The games included in IVR-KT will be developed using retrieved real-time and historical data with a special emphasis on inclusivity aspects by addressing a wide range of users regardless of their personal limitations and constraints. By presenting the framework and providing examples of its key components, the paper introduces new ways of considering KT for emergency preparedness training in education for handling unforeseen incidents.
Novgorod dialectal names for non-adult pets
Authors:   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University, Andreeva Yu. I.
Published: September 2024

The most important type of regionally specific words is dialect words, which are traditionally studied in dialectology and described in dialect lexicography. This article examines dialectisms using materials from one of regional dictionaries —the NovgorodRegional Dictionary. The subject of the analysis is the dictionary entries that form the lexical-semantic group “Non-adult pets,” which has not previously become the subject of special scientific study. This group, considering the semantic components withthe meanings 'cub', 'young', as well as 'animal age', includes 110 units: dwuletok, drougachok, pavodnik, podtovarnik, solomennik, murmuletc. The highlighted words, on the one hand, are analyzed in the article as units of the dialect lexical system, and on the other hand, are presented in correlation with the words of the literary language. In the latter case, attention is paid to illustrative materials of dictionary entries, which not only specify for the user the information contained in a dialect word, but also allow one to obtain information about how dialect speakers organize their speech in a new situation of explanatory activity. Until the middle of the 20th century, one term was used in linguistic science to denote all regional features of a language —dialect. In modern research, a regiolect is correlated with a dialect: it is either derived from a dialect, or contrasted with it, orincludes a dialect in its composition. Interest in the study of regiolects and the multifaceted nature of the problems associated with them led to the formation of a special field of scientific research —regional studies, one of the areas of which is linguo-regional studies.

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide, a dual agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, in promoting weight loss in patients with obesity. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar databases for articles published between 2020 and 2024. Keywords included tirzepatide, LY3298176, tirzepatide obesity, tirzepatide side effects, and tirzepatide adverse effects. Studies included were randomized, placebo-controlled, and involved patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m² or ≥ 27 kg/m² with at least one weight-related comorbidity. Results: Analysis covered 5,385 participants from phase 2 and 3 trials, with 3,517 treated with tirzepatide and 1,868 receiving placebo. Tirzepatide demonstrated significant weight reduction across studies: SURMOUNT-1 (15.0%, 19.5%, 20.9% weight loss for 5, 10, 15 mg doses respectively), SURMOUNT-2 (12.8%, 14.7% for 10, 15 mg doses), NASH SYNERGY (10.7%, 13.3%, 15.6% for 5, 10, 15 mg doses), and SURMOUNT-OSA (17.7%, 19.6% for maximum tolerated dose). Adverse effects were mostly gastrointestinal, with nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting being the most common, leading to a discontinuation rate of 4.6%. Conclusions: Tirzepatide demonstrates superior efficacy in weight management compared to existing treatments, with an acceptable safety profile. Its dual agonist action offers a promising therapeutic option for obesity, warranting further research into its long-term benefits and impacts on obesity-related comorbidities.

Published: September 2024

Plant disease detection studies disease attacks in plants detected on the leaves using computer vision. However, some plant disease detection solutions still utilize cloud computing, where the problems include slow processing times and misuse of data privacy. This study aims to evaluate the performance of convolutional neural network (CNN) pruning in edge computing-based plant disease detection. We use Kaggle's plant disease image dataset, which contains three corn diseases. We also created an edge computing system architecture for plant disease detection utilizing the latest communication technology and middleware. Next, we developed an optimal CNN model for plant disease detection using grid search. We pruned the CNN model in the final step and tested its performance. In this step, we developed a novel normalized-geometric mean (NG-mean) method for accuracy loss optimization. The test results show that class weights can optimize specificity and g-mean on the imbalanced dataset, with values of 0.995 and 0.983, respectively. The grid search results then optimize the optimization method's hyperparameters, learning rate, batch size, and epoch to achieve the highest accuracy of 0.947. Applying pruning produces several models with variations in sparsity and scheduling methods. We used the new NG-mean method to find the best compressed model. It had constant scheduling, 0.8 sparsity, a mean accuracy loss of 1.05%, and a CR of 2.71×. This study enhances the efficiency and privacy of plant disease detection by utilizing edge computing and optimizing CNN models, leading to faster processing and better data security. Future work could explore the application of the novel NG-Mean method in other domains and the integration of additional plant species and diseases into the detection system.

O presente trabalho consiste em um relato de experiência produzido a partir da oferta de um curso extensão realizado com coordenadores pedagógicos de escolas públicas de educação básica. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar aspectos que articulam trajetórias pessoais e profissionais como possibilidade de autoformação e desenvolvimento profissional em serviço de coordenadores pedagógicos, observando-se as prescrições legais e referenciais teóricos da área, assim como os contextos de atuação profissional dos sujeitos da pesquisa. Os dados coletados para análise consistiram nas escritas autobiográficas produzidas por ocasião da conclusão do curso, analisados através da análise de conteúdo e discutidos à luz do referencial teórico proposto. Os achados indicam que as trajetórias pessoais e profissionais constituem a identidade profissional dos coordenadores, que os contextos de trabalhos apresentam desafios frente a necessidade de cumprimento de metas de qualidade e apontam ainda para a necessidade de maior investimento em momentos de formação continuada em serviço, permeados por uma articulação fundamental entre teoria e prática.

Published: September 2024

O artigo propõe uma análise do papel das bases indexadoras dentro do atual processo de comunicação científica, considerando a sua utilização como critério de avaliação no sistema de avaliação Qualis-periódicos. Metodologicamente, caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa descritiva de caráter bibliográfico e abordagem qualitativa. O levantamento documental consistiu na identificação das orientações para indexação disponibilizada pelas bases de dados para os editores. A amostra foi composta por seis bases mencionadas no documento Qualis periódicos: Redalyc, Scielo, Latindex, Scopus, WOS e DOAJ. Como resultados, constatou-se que os critérios utilizados para decidir pela indexação ou não de um periódico, estão relacionados às suas caraterísticas qualitativas, como os sistemas de avaliação, cobertura e conteúdo temático. Detectou-se o seguinte quantitativo de critérios exigidos pelas bases analisadas: Redalyc – 66, Scielo – 49, Latindex – 44, WOS – 24, Scopus – 16. Conclui-se que, independentemente do número de critérios avaliados todas as bases possuem uma política de avaliação, o que implica em uma constante readequação, ou padronização dos editores e demais membros do corpo editorial, para garantir que continuem a se enquadrar no perfil desejado pela base indexadora.

Abstract: Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare congenital disorder in which a malformed fetus-like structure is inside the actual body of the fetus. We reported a 3-day old female baby, born through sectio caesaria with a lump on her right abdomen. On physical examination, a rounded mass of 8x8 cm was palpable in the right hypochondrium. CT-scan of the abdomen with contrast revealed a heterogeneous mass of mixed cystic and solid accompanied by calcification in the form of vertebrae and extremities in the upper right abdomen (size ±5,6 x 6 x 6 cm). The mass appeared to be abutting with the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and right kidney by pressing the intestinal loops to the left. A laparotomy was performed with extensive tumor excision, and a malformed fetus-shaped mass with good differentiation characterized by a hand-like structure, fairly complete toes and skin on its surface was found. The tumor was diagnosed as a FIF since the benchmark for diagnosing FIF was the shape of a fetus-like mass, a mature bone structure with components such as cranium, vertebrae, pelvis, extremities and even fingers as found in this patient. The patient was carried out a 5-day treatment after surgery, and then was referred to the Pediatric Surgery polyclinic for a follow-up on the histopathological result to confirm the diagnosis but the patient did not come for further treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the association between education and prevalence of chronic diseases and limitations of
daily activities.
Methods: Data were analyzed from the National Health Survey, conducted in 2013 in a representative sample of the brazilian population.
The studied conditions were hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, stroke, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and
cancer. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to test the associations of outcomes with education, adjusting for sex, age, marital
status and medical and hospital consultation.
Results: lower education was associated with higher chances of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart disease and stroke (OR of stroke 2.76
, 95% CI 1.90 to 4.00 ). People with less education had also more limitation on daily activities in all studied diseases. People with less
education also presented more limitation of daily activities in all diseases studied.
Conclusion: The study found that not only the prevalence of chronic diseases is higher among those with less education, but there are clear
positive association of socioeconomic status with the limitations of daily activities that cause diseases.
