Secondary End-Users’ Perspectives on Gender Differences in the Use of eHealth Applications in Older Adults
Authors: Prinzellner Yvonne , Simon Alisa
Published: April 2022

In the digital age, people with low digital skills and low digital literacy face marginalization. Here, the area of healthcare and its rapid digitalization deserves special attention, as the risks of health disparities increase for people with a low eHealth literacy. Within the AAL-funded project ‘Got-IT: a toolkit for inclusive and understandable lifestyle data visualizations in eHealth solutions’ (AAL-2020-7-51-SCP), we therefore aim to create an online toolkit to assist the design of inclusive eHealth solutions. As there already exists a large body of literature regarding (e)Health literacy in older adults that focuses on them as end-users of tools, apps etc. this study specifically focuses on secondary end-users of health applications in the field of healthcare. In this context, we conducted three focus group discussions with secondary end-users such as nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists, neurologists as well as social workers.

As a result, it was noted that gender turned out to be an issue in terms of the familiarity and use of eHealth applications. The secondary end-users reported that the focus - when trying to be as inclusive as possible in familiarizing users with low eHealth literacy with health applications - should be on gender-sensitive use of language and gender-sensitive display of medical information. The results of our qualitative study give insights to gender-specific use of eHealth applications for older adults with low eHealth literacy, as well as recommendations of secondary end-users on how to take a more gender-balanced approach when developing, and familiarizing users with eHealth applications.
Invisible Barriers: Societal Norms Versus Female Workplace Progression
Authors: Nupen Dominique , Jagernath Jayseema
Published: April 2022

Cultural and societal norms constantly assign different family and religious expectations to women as compared to men. Therefore, this research paper seeks to provide insight into the effects of prevalent cultural and societal norms on the progression of lower-level female managers. It examines the impact of these norms on the fulfilment of work-related duties and the resultant implications for the success of a female within their professional role. The research integrated qualitative and quantitative approaches and was carried out within the culturally diverse province of KwaZulu-Natal, in South Africa.  Primary data was gathered using a quantitative questionnaire distributed to thirty-five lower-level female managers, typically fulfilling an entry-level supervisory role, within two separate private organisations. The research was independent of race and age. The findings of the study indicate that respondents face societal and cultural norms that adversely affect progression. These include assumptions of weaker and more emotional management styles, lack of support in meeting family and work obligations, and gender biases impacting access to opportunities for progression. The findings also include women from many cultures by virtue of the diverse cultures within the KwaZulu-Natal region. This paper will therefore be of value to female managers from diverse backgrounds in developed and developing countries. Specifically, female managers encountering invisible barriers to breaking through the glass ceiling and progressing to higher levels of management due to their own cultural and societal norms will benefit from insights delivered. The findings will also be of value to mentors of aspiring female managers, male senior managers with female subordinates, and human resources departments. The research paper will commence with a literature review that examines the relevance of cultural and societal norms in the progression of female managers. The research methods and results of the study will then be described, and findings discussed. The paper will conclude with final insights and recommendations for further research.
How can Gender Smart Mobility become a More Intersectional form of Mobility Justice
Authors: Gut Katarzyna , Bridgman Jacquie , Woodcock Andree
Published: April 2022

This paper discusses ethical issues relating to equity in smart mobility (SM) with a focus on the intersections of gender, race and class. The H2020 TInnGO (Transport and Innovation Gender Observatory) project, in which this work was undertaken, was built around the concept that Gender Smart Mobility (GSM) requires not just the development of smart mobility but the application of gender and diversity mainstreaming.

The paper is set against a background of slow but steady progress towards gender equality in transport, where women in the EU now account for between 22-27% of the transport workforce, and their multimodal journeys are underserved by current transport provision. Gender and diversity mainstreaming recognises the importance of applying intersectionality in creating fair and equitable transport services which can reduce the vulnerability of certain groups to social-exclusion related transport poverty. Although championed by the EU as an objective of transport policy, Gender Mainstreaming (GM) has had limited uptake at national level and has been criticised for its oversimplification of gender, and prioritisation of gender over other factors.

Incorporating intersectionality into transport policy can build on advances already made by GM However little work has been conducted in this area. Therefore, we have discussed how an intersectionality-based policy analysis framework used in health can be applied to this area.

The paper argues for wider use of intersectionality (i.e., gender and diversity mainstreaming) in the SM sector and how it can be operationalised to create more equitable transport and societies. The discussion is timely given the disproportionate impact of COVID-19.
The Future of UK Work-family Rights: The Case for More Flexible Working
Authors: Weldon-Johns Michelle
Published: April 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted both the significant impacts that the UK lockdown rules have had for working women with caring responsibilities, and the potential of flexible working practices to redefine the ways in which people work. This paper will first examine the current UK right to request flexible working and its limitations particularly: the requirement for 26 weeks continuity of employment; the wide discretion that employers have to refuse such requests; the lack of ability to challenge employer’s decisions; and the limited ability to make subsequent requests and/or to make temporary changes. The paper will then critically examine the UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy’s consultation ‘Making Flexible Work the Default’, which addresses the some of these concerns, namely, to change it to a day-one right to request. This examination will consider whether a greater shift to flexible working as the default position, and a redefining of working practices and the work-life paradigm, can have a positive impact for working persons, especially those with caring responsibilities and/or other work-life conflicts. In particular, the paper will critically analyse whether a societal shift to more flexible working can redress the impact of the pandemic for working women with caring responsibilities. In doing so, the paper will reflect on whether this shift represents a challenge to the traditional unburdened worker norm or whether it will continue to reinforce traditional gender roles. Further areas for reform and development will also be identified, including enhanced rights for working fathers and a recognition of new and emerging areas of work-life conflict, such as Menopause in the Workplace, as highlighted by the Women and Equalities Commission’s inquiry on this topic.
How Identity Informs the Bicultural Context of South African Indian Women Engineers
Authors: Nundagopaul Pillay Vanishree , Jenika Gobind  , Zanele Ndaba
Published: April 2022

This qualitative study articulated the voices of 25 South African Indian women engineers through the exploration of their identities in a bicultural context. Data extracted from their life stories provided elucidation of participants’ bicultural identity navigation. This applied firstly in a personal context, historically known for its culturally driven patriarchal undertones. Secondly, their professional context, in a career dominated by men and deeply rooted in gender partiality against women engineers. Findings of this research indicated the transformed application of Indian cultural norms evidenced by (a) growing family support of a career that would – under Indian culture – be deemed unsuitable for an Indian female, and (b) an unexpected finding: the rise of a paternal motivator that contributed to positive socialisation informing autonomous career decision-making by participants. The continued dominance of men in the profession presented as a strong negative indicator adversely impacting fluid navigation. This article contributed to the literature on identity and biculturalism by considering an insufficiently studied sample of women. The findings and recommendations of this article provided previously untapped information about the identity challenges faced by bicultural female engineers in a male-dominated profession.

Authors: Mathur Vibha , Arora Saloni
Published: April 2022

The Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a very significant and crucial role in the economic growth of both developed and developing countries. The importance of SMEs, in particular, was highlighted by the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on financing for development as the enterprises are major creators of jobs. They also focus on providing innovative ideas for sustainable development in the developing countries. These SMEs face highly complex and volatile conditions and therefore, have to strive for sustained, smooth and steady growth to remain competitive in the business world. These enterprises aim to create their market value and establish their brand name by adopting sustainable measures. The managers of SMEs are resorting to a blend of different types of capital like financial capital, natural capital, human capital, social capital and constructed capital. Human capital, an emerging concept has caught the attention of economists and industrialists all over the world in the recent past. Various enterprises have started ascertaining the cost of human capital in terms of the skills, knowledge, competitiveness and innovative ideas provided by the individuals. This helps the organization in deciding whether it is able to adapt to the ever changing environment and achieve its goal of sustainable growth and development. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of human capital on the sustainable growth & development of SMEs. A questionnaire based survey on various dimensions of human capital was considered to assess the impact of human capital on the sustainability of the SMEs in Delhi-NCR, India. The statistical tools like Reliability Analysis and Multiple Regression were applied to achieve the results of the study. The study conducted will be beneficial not only to researchers or academicians but also to policy makers.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Human Resource Management (HRM)
Authors: Saranya A
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in human resource management (HRM). In today’s globalised environment, traditional methods of conducting business are being put to the test. There may not be any local competitors at this time, but as technology shrinks the world, firms must compete on a worldwide scale on a regular basis. This means that accepting these new mechanical advances is critical for a company to stay current and maintain a competitive advantage. Employee training, enrolment, representative interactions, and the organization’s success are all covered under HRM. People serve as a reservoir of information and skills that each organisation may and should tap into. As a result, matriculation has grown increasingly crucial in recent years for hiring and keeping these types of individuals. The enrollment contact, through which all of this value is gathered, is the way to go because Human Resource (HR) is so vital to the organisation. The enrolling phase used to be longer and more time-consuming, meaning a lot of administrative work for the spotters; but, as online enrolment has become more widespread, this has begun to change. In this paper, the various uses and benefits of using Artificial Intelligence into Human Resource Management are examined.

However, discussion about the  Islamic Municipal Bonds issuing in Indonesia are still in the form of discourse. The aims of this study are to analyze the problem of issuing Islamic Municipal Bonds in Indonesia, and to find the best solutions and strategies for launching sukuk in Indonesia. The method that used in this research was the concept of Tawhidy String Relation (TSR) combined with the Delphi and the Analytical Network Process (ANP). The 2 (two) main problems that become obstacles and also root causes in the publishing of Islamic Municipal Bonds are low literacy of sharia and legal and regulatory barriers. The implication of this research was that sharia economic actors could improve economic and financial literacy of sharia. Meanwhile, regarding legal and regulatory issues, the government must encourage the creation of harmonization of laws and implementing regulations that provide legal certainty and accelerate the implementation of the issuance of regional sukuk in Indonesia. Finally, by publishing the Islamic Municipal Bonds, there is an increase in cross-sectoral economic activities based on sharia economics.

Attempts to digitize samples and apply artificial intelligence and machine learning methods to analyze crystalloscopic (dried drops of biological fluids) and tesigraphic (dried drops of biological fluids with crystallogenic substance) facies have not yet been successful. In this regard, there is a need to develop a simplified algorithm for describing the facies of biological fluids, which can be used for a unified computer study of the results of crystallization of biological objects, which served as the purpose of the work. To develop and test the method presented in this paper, we used more than 16,000 images of dried biological fluids of the human and animal body, including both crystalloscopic and tesigraphic facies. The algorithm is based on determination of 4 main parameters (crystallizability, structure index, facies destruction degree and clearity of the marginal zone), graded on three-point scales. In addition, a facies integral parameter combining the values of all criteria is proposed.

Published: April 2022

The author has developed a new graphical temporal automatic RVTI grammar with internal memory, which is the developed linguistic CAD software, introducing time relations in the format of recording interval logic of Allen. RVTI grammar provides the verification of temporal and structural classes of semantic errors, developing the automation of a designer’s manual labor, when controlling errors in diagram specifications, including flowcharts of algorithms of software systems, in computeraided design. It differs from the existing ones by restoring lost structural links in the diagram specifications of workflows using sentential continuators, simplified formalization, introduction of the concept of “time” and the parameter “hours”. A new method based on RVTI grammar for verification of diagram specifications of workflows in computer-aided design of hardware and software of radio electronics has been developed, which is a development of the theory of processing graphic languages, revealing temporal, structural classes of semantic errors – 20 types of errors, providing an increase in the degree of automation of project work on the control of diagrammatic specifications of workflows, reducing the number of types of design errors of structural, temporal classes, contributing to the success of design solutions in the automated design of hardware and software of radio electronics; characterized in that they have linear computational complexity and a smaller spent memory size during verification. The proposed method is used at a large radio-electronic design and industrial enterprise JSC “Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant” in the development of hardware and software for the products of the enterprise. The material of this work is related to the author’s publications in previous issues of the Automation of Control Processes Journal (Nos. 3 (61), 4 (62) of 2020, and No. 2 (64) of 2021).

The article examines briefly the information content of the main characteristics of semiconductor devices (SDs). For the purposes of the SD diagnostics, the features for measuring the voltage-current (i-v) and capacitance-voltage (c-v) characteristics are considered. For measuring the SD characteristics, an alternate design of an automated hardwaresoftware complex (HSC) operated on the static measurement principle is proposed. The proposed HSC version provides high measurement accuracy, control flexibility in conjunction with high functionality including the SD diagnosing ability by derivatives of V-I curve and measuring variations in time (i.e. drift) of reverse current and forward voltage on SDs at a specified electrical mode. The implementation type of HSC is considered; the main technical characteristics of the developed HSC-prototype are produced. The HSC operation modes and application examples for diagnosing the semiconductor diodes are described, as well as the software providing the measuring process control and measuring results analysis is specified. The diagnostic capabilities of the HSC are demonstrated with an example on measuring the characteristics of the 2A528A-4 p-i-n diodes, according to which standard defects of products are detected and specified.

The article deals with the data storage systems and the continuous growth of information accumulated in them. An increase of the stored data requires scaling of data storage systems. With the destructive effects of an attacker and disturbances of the operating environment, scaling of storage systems without a negative impact on their operation is complicated by a directly proportional increase in the monitored information required to ensure the security of stored data. For such operating conditions, one of the most urgent tasks is the support of secure data storage, ensuring the identity of the data sent for storage by an operator and the one requested for use. The data integrity monitoring subsystem based on the use of cryptographic hash functions is proposed. The application of the hashing function in the developed subsystem is based on the rules for constructing the Sierpinski’s triangle, a geometric fractal, that has the property of self-similarity, which allows for data integrity monitoring when scaling the storage without introducing additional monitoring information commensurate with the volume of the data being increased.

An analysis of wars and armed conflicts shows that the share of railway traffic during mobilization and operational deployment can make up from 70 to 85% of the total traffic volume, which significantly increases the requirements for the stability of the entire railway transport infrastructure [1]. In this case, the safety of railway transport infrastructure refers to the state, where there is no unacceptable risk associated with causing harm to the life or health of citizens, property of individuals or legal entities, state or municipal property, as well as the environment, life or health of animals and plants [2, 3]. Railway troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are intended for technical cover, reconstruction, demining and blocking of sections (objects) of the railway transport infrastructure within the area of responsibility of the Armed Forces, increasing its survivability and traffic handling capability, as well as planning guidance and operation of floating railway bridges. When reconstructing railway infrastructure facilities, management work organization and rapid recovery of interrupted train traffic are quite important. In turn, this largely depends on the preparation and decision making, which require certain engineering calculations, as well as the provision of a certain spare parts, the lack of which can be replenished through the use of additive manufacturing technology.

Authors:   Federal Research-and-Production Center Joint Stock Company RPA Mars, Yastrebov Dmitriy M.
Published: April 2022

The article describes the order of situation awareness process as part of the hierarchical control system. The random period of situation awareness in certain authority consists of time taken to collect data from the subordinates and time taken togenerate an output document for higher authority. An analytical model is developed based on the relation between the allocation functions of the situation awareness time in the system and allocation functions of time for generating output documents in the authorities. The authors developed a simulation model of situation awareness for practical application. This model consists of a set of multiple experiments, where each generates a random period of output documents formation in the authorities. The generation is based on common law of allocation. In accordance with structure and order of data collection, the system has random situation awareness results for all the hierarchical levels. The parameters of system efficiency are calculated based on the results of multiple simulation experiments. The models are intended to solve designing problems and allocate restricted resources per the authorities to improve their efficiency.

Published: April 2022

The article proposes an original entropy time series (TS) model, as well as an entropy time series (ETS) predictive algorithm. The model is built in the form of a set of points, each containing a pair of values, a measure of entropy based on the TS point and the dynamics of entropy at a point in comparison with the previous point of the set. The forecasting algorithm based on the ETS is based on the forecast by any of the available methods for forecasting the TS, built from the dynamics values calculated for the entropy points and from calculating the predicted value through the predicted dynamics value and the entropy value at the last point of the series. The predicted value obtained by the above algorithm is proposed to be used as a correction value when predicting TS by any of the available forecasting methods. This approach has been tested on TSs offered at the IRAFM 2015.

Įvadas. Alerginio rinito paplitimas ir našta yra ženkli visame pasaulyje. Daugeliui šalių patiriant nemenkus ekonominius iššūkius siekiant efektyvaus lėtinių ligų gydymo ir kontrolės, būtina perorientuoti sveikatos prie­žiūros sistemas, plėtoti integruotos sveikatos priežiū­ros modelius, kurie suteikia daugiau galios pacientui ir skirtingiems sveikatos priežiūros sektoriaus specialis­tams. Mobiliosios sveikatos galimybių panaudojimas ir pritaikymas bei gyvenimo kokybės tyrimų įtraukimas į kasdienę klinikinę praktiką – svarbūs elementai, siekiant kontroliuojamos savigydos.

Tyrimo tikslas. Apžvelgti alerginio rinito ir jo įtakos bronchų astmai (angl. Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma, ARIA) tarptautinių rekomendacijų raidą bei gyvenimo kokybės tyrimų reikšmę, plečiant lėtinių nein­fekcinių kvėpavimo takų ligų kontroliuojamą savigydą.

Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Tyrimas susideda iš dviejų dalių: literatūros apžvalgos ir originalaus astma sergančių vaikų gyvenimo kokybės tyrimo.

Tyrimo rezultatai. Alerginio rinito ARIA gydymo algo­ritmas buvo išbandytas naudojant randomizuotus kon­trolinius tyrimus, realaus pasaulio įrodymus ir kameri­nius tyrimus, o gauti rezultatai padėjo sudaryti bendrą alerginio rinito gydymo algoritmą. Integruotas alerginio rinito priežiūros modelis turėtų apimti įvairius priežiūros aspektus: paciento rūpinimąsi savo sveikata ir ligos kon­trolę, skirtingų specialistų funkcijas, bendrą sprendimų priėmimą ir net naujos kartos rekomendacijas, tokias kaip elektroninių žinučių siuntimas, siekiant efektyves­nio medikamentų vartojimo ir ligos kontrolės. Alerginių ligų kontrolės ir gydymo efektyvumo vertinimui gali būti naudojamos ir mobiliosios technologijos, ir gyvenimo ko­kybės klausimynai, o šių vertinimų rezultatai tarpusavyje koreliuoja. Mūsų atlikti astma sergančių vaikų tyrimai rodo, kad alerginis rinitas yra nepriklausomas prastesnę gyvenimo kokybę lemiantis veiksnys.

Išvados. Siekiant efektyvesnio alerginio rinito gydymo ir kontrolės, rekomenduojama plėtoti integruotos priežiū­ros modelius, kuriuos įgyvendinti gali padėti mobiliosios technologijos ir gyvenimo kokybės tyrimai – modernūs ir inovatyvūs metodai, suteikiantys naujas galimybes tiek pacientui, tiek gydytojui efektyviau valdyti lėtines ligas.
