Authors: Al-Romeedy Bassam Samir , Alharethi Thaib
Published: December 2024

The study aims to investigate the impact of digital leadership on sustainable competitive advantage, digital talent, and knowledge workers. Additionally, it explores the mediating role of digital talent (DT) and knowledge workers (KW) in the relationship between digital leadership (DL) and sustainable competitive advantage (SC), using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as its theoretical foundation. The researchers employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine survey data from 784 employees working in Egyptian travel agencies and tour operators. The results demonstrate that DL significantly enhances SC, DT, and KW. Moreover, DT and KW were shown to positively contribute to SC and serve as partial mediators in the relationship between DL and SC. The findings highlight the crucial role of developing DT and creating an environment that embraces technological acceptance and innovation. This approach amplifies the strategic effectiveness of DL, ultimately contributing to long-term organizational success.

Authors: Osuma Godswill , Nzimande Ntokozo
Published: December 2024

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) era, the rapid digitalisation of services poses both opportunities and challenges for the banking sector. This study addresses how adopting artificial intelligence (AI) and online and mobile banking advancements can influence customer satisfaction, particularly in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Despite significant investments in AI and digital banking technologies, banks often struggle to align these innovations with customer expectations and satisfaction. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), this research investigates the impact of customer satisfaction with online banking (C_O) on AI integration (I_A) and mobile banking convenience (C_M). The SEM model reveals that customer satisfaction with online banking significantly influences AI integration (path coefficient of 0.40) and mobile banking convenience (path coefficient of 0.68). These results highlight a crucial problem: while technological advancements in banking are growing, their effectiveness is highly dependent on customer satisfaction with existing digital services. The study underscores the need for banks to prioritise enhancing online banking experiences as a strategic lever to improve AI integration and mobile banking convenience. Consequently, the research recommends that Nigerian banks develop comprehensive frameworks to evaluate and optimise their technology integration strategies, ensuring that technological innovations align with customer needs and expectations in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Prévio requerimento administrativo em casos de pedido de auxílio-acidente precedido de auxílio por incapacidade temporária à luz do Tema 350/STFe do pleno acesso à justiça e da razoável duração do processo
Authors: Balbinotti Rafael da Silva , Ambrosio Felipe Augusto Rodrigues
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho tem por escopo analisar a necessidade de prévio indeferimento administrativo como requisito para o ingresso em processos judiciais no âmbito previdenciário. A discussão gravita em torno da fundamentação dessa exigência, alicerçada na premissa de que a existência de uma pretensão resistida é imprescindível para a instauração de um processo judicial. Esta condição da ação, delineada pelo Código de Processo Civil no artigo 17 coaduna-se com o binômio necessidade-adequação, demandando que a pretensão do autor só possa ser satisfeita através do acesso ao Judiciário, e que a providência judicial solicitada seja capaz de solucionar adequadamente a situação conflituosa. Boa parte da doutrina entende que a imposição do prévio requerimento administrativo para o ingresso em juízo viola o princípio do livre acesso à justiça, conforme estabelecido no artigo 5º, inciso XXXV, da Constituição. Esta controvérsia culminou no Recurso Extraordinário 631.240/MG, um marco decisório que delineou a tese da desnecessidade do prévio requerimento administrativo perante o INSS como requisito essencial para a formação da lide. O referido julgamento estabeleceu uma distinção crucial entre demandas que visam obter uma prestação ou vantagem inteiramente nova ao patrimônio jurídico do autor e ações que buscam o aprimoramento ou proteção de vantagem já concedida. Aplicado tal entendimento no caso de auxílio-acidente que é precedido do auxílio por incapacidade temporária, existe uma resistência na aceitação dos tribunais no fato de que o auxílio-acidente se trata de uma hipótese de melhoria do benefício por incapacidade, devendo ser dispensado o novo requerimento administrativo pelo segurado No trabalho, utilizou-se o método dedutivo após a pesquisa bibliografia das doutrinas e precedente relevantes ao tema.

Authors: Koszur Julita , Gruszka Aleksandra , Ziółkowska Anna M. , Czerniak Anna
Published: December 2024

Wraz z umasowieniem edukacji i rosnącym zapotrzebowaniem na usługi psychologiczne, obserwujemy wzrost liczby ofert kierunków i studentów psychologii. Towarzyszą temu jednak obawy o jakość kształcenia, zwłaszcza w kontekście braku dostatecznych uregulowań prawnych dotyczących wykonywania zawodu. W artykule zaprezentowano ilościowe analizy trendów w kształceniu psychologicznym na studiach wyższych w Polsce w latach 2018–2023 (aneks prezentuje dane, które ukazały się po przygotowaniu pierwszej wersji tekstu). Dane pochodziły z publicznie dostępnych baz: RAD-on, Eurostatu i PKA. Z roku na rok rośnie oferta studiów psychologicznych, którą rozwijają głównie uczelnie niepubliczne. W 2019 roku psychologię studiowało ok. 34 tys. osób, a w 2022 r. już ok. 56 tys. (jednocześnie spada liczba osób kształcących się na studiach doktoranckich w tej dyscyplinie, co może prowadzić do luki w przyszłej kadrze akademickiej). Największy wzrost liczby studentów i ofert odnotowano na jednolitych studiach magisterskich o profilu praktycznym, prowadzonych przez uczelnie zawodowe, a także w formie niestacjonarnej. Aż 40% studentów kształci się na uczelniach, które nie przystąpiły do ewaluacji naukowej w dyscyplinie psychologia. Studia psychologiczne prowadzone są pod różnymi nazwami. Nasycenie programów studiów na tym kierunku efektami uczenia się przyporządkowanymi dyscyplinie psychologia waha się od 37 do 100%. Do wyzwań w najbliższej przyszłości należy zapewnienie odpowiedniej jakości kształcenia psychologicznego na studiach wyższych oraz stworzenie regulacji dotyczących uprawnień do wykonywania zawodu psychologa, uwzględniając tak zróżnicowane modele kształcenia.

Digital Property and Civil Law: Navigating legal challenges and opportunities in Albania’s evolving legal framework
Authors: Caushi (C.) Sindi
Published: December 2024

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the digital age, the concept of property has expanded beyond traditional physical assets to include intangible forms of ownership such as digital property. This transformation presents significant challenges for civil law, especially in Albania, where legal frameworks have struggled to keep pace with technological advances. This article explores the definition of digital assets, focusing on the assessments that organizations, law institutions or states have made regarding the disposition, transfer and protection of these assets. The article examines how Albanian civil law, rooted in traditional notions of property and inheritance, addresses issues related to digital rights, including digital asset management, digital tokens, and broader applications within blockchain ecosystems. Through an analysis of national and international legal perspectives, the article identifies the main challenges in adapting existing laws to the challenging complexity of digital ownership. It also proposes possible mechanisms to ensure the effective integration of digital property within Albania’s legal system, drawing on legislative models from other countries.

By bridging the gap between technology and law, this manuscript aims to provide insight into how Albania can navigate the legal complexities of digital property and protect individual rights in an increasingly digital world.

Nanosilica’s Influence on Concrete Hydration, Microstructure, and Durability: A Review
Authors: Ranjan M. , Kumar S. , Sinha S.
Published: December 2024

The usage of nanomaterials in the construction industry is becoming more and more popular. Among the several types of nanomaterials, nano silica (NS) has drawn interest due to its high specific surface area and strong pozzolanic reactivity. By enhancing concrete’s performance, NS allows for the achievement of greater compressive strength and durability with less cement which lowers the carbon footprint associated with the cement production. Because they are substantially smaller than conventional supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), NS particles are better able to fill the micropores in the cement matrix. This work provides a comprehensive analysis of earlier studies on the influence of NS addition on concrete properties. It investigates the impact of NS on the workability and setting time of fresh concrete. The study also explores how NS affects concrete mechanical characteristics, such as its modulus of elasticity, flexural strength, and compressive strength, with an emphasis on the underlying mechanisms driving these improvements. It is shown that NS apart from its filling ability, accelerates hydration process by acting as nucleation sites for hydration products to form through seeding effect. The microstructure becomes dense and pore size refinement occur. However, an ineffective NS dispersion serve as a barrier to add a larger percentage of NS to the cement paste. Overall, this research study offers insightful information about the potential of NS as an additive to improve concrete’s sustainability and performance.

Published: December 2024

The recovery of exhaust gas recovery from marine engines is gaining attention in regard to saving fuel and improving system efficiency. Waste heat recovery is particularly beneficial for providing thermal and electric power, and offers efficient solutions to both economic and environmental challenges. The use of waste heat recovery technology offers the opportunity to lower fuel consumption and improve systems, and this approach also falls in line with the stringent emissions guidelines of the International Maritime Organization. This paper describes a unique exhaust gas heat recovery system in which a thermal oil system is used to heat fuel and feed cargo, in order to lower exploitation costs while also addressing environmental issues. CFD simulations of the heat recovery unit with plain and finned helix coils provide important insights into their thermal performance and pressure characteristics. The results indicate that the incorporation of fins could markedly enhance the heat transfer performance. Finned configurations are also found to have higher oil outlet temperatures, reaching up to 145.4°C in the case of a rectangular configuration. In general, this study contributes to the advancement of waste heat recovery technologies in marine applications.

Authors: Liu Kai , Zeng Xiangming , Yan Guohua
Published: December 2024

The maritime industry, a major contributor to carbon emissions, is under increasing environmental pressure due to global climate change. This study presents an innovative energy management strategy for hybrid power systems in ocean engineering vessels, based on an improved particle swarm optimisation algorithm. We convert the traditional powered vessel Marine Oil 257 to a hybrid model, and explore the energy storage requirements, system configurations, and control methods for a practical implementation. Post-conversion, the main diesel engine drives the propeller, and is supported by a lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage system in conjunction with the diesel engine and shaft generators to achieve certain energy efficiency and emission reduction goals. In our strategy, the shaft power of the main engine and the active power of the shaft generator are employed as decision variables, and the ship power balance, operational speed limits, generator output constraints, and system reliability are taken into consideration. Real-time optimisation of energy allocation is performed using an improved particle swarm optimisation algorithm in MATLAB. The effectiveness of this approach is validated through a comparative analysis with full-scale experimental data, and it is shown to be a practical pathway for retrofitting traditional power vessels to enhance the energy efficiency and for providing valuable insights for technological advancement.
Fuzzy Inference-Based Adaptive Sonar Control for Collision Avoidance in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Authors: Kot Rafał
Published: December 2024

This article discusses the use of adaptive control in the sonar scanning sector within an obstacle detection system, to improve the effectiveness of collision avoidance for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). An adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was used for dynamic calculations of the sonar scanning sector. Based on 100 simulation scenarios containing various trajectories created by the mission planner, with various shapes, dimensions and arrangements of static obstacles, and various arrangements and displacement vectors of dynamic obstacles, the effectiveness of the proposed system was tested in comparison with other classical approaches such as a single echosounder and sonar with a fixed scanning sector width. The above sensor configurations were evaluated in terms of the percentage of collision-free trials, the average percentage of trajectory completion, and the average number of activations of the collision avoidance system. Simulations conducted based on the mathematical model of the AUV confirmed that the proposed approach increased the effectiveness of collision avoidance systems for AUVs compared to classical echosounder and sonar-based systems.

Authors: Camargo Karina Retzlaff , Bruch Alexandre Felipe , Silva Jeanderson Lima da , Carneiro Marciano , Rodrigues Milene de Lima , Retzlaff Alana Stern
Published: December 2024

Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the potential for internal erosion in the Chasqueiro Dam, in southern Brazil, considering the possible use of dispersive fine soils in its construction.
 
Theoretical Framework: Key information is highlighted regarding internal erosion, soil dispersibility, and the inductive electromagnetic method, offering a solid foundation for understanding the context of the investigation.
 
Method: The methodology identified the probable location of the quarrier exploted for the dam construction using historical aerial images and records from the basic project. This analysis was corroborated by fieldwork. Subsequently, soil samples from these quarries were collected for geotechnical characterization. Finally, the Inductive Eletromagnetic Method (IEM) was applied to assess the apparent electrical conductivity of the soil, validating the results obtained in the laboraty.
 
Results and Discussion: The precise location of the quarry used for the dam construction was identified, even nearly five decades after the dam's completion. This allowed the collection of representative soil samples, which demonstrated low susceptibility to dispersion. The electrical conductivity maps corroborated this finding by revealing predominantly uncontaminated areas, ruling out the possibility of significant saline contamination and refuting the hypothesis of internal erosion caused by the use of dispersive soil.
 
Research Implications: The study provides significant theoretical and methodological contributions by integrating geotechnical and geophysical approaches with the analysis of historical aerial images, establishing a multidisciplinary framework for evaluating the stability of earth dams. Methodologically, the research demonstrates the effectiveness of combining non-invasive techniques with geotechnical characterization to assess soil properties without compromising the structural integrity of the dam.
 
Originality/Value: The study innovates by integrating geotechnical and geophysical methods with the use of historical aerial images. Its relevance lies in offering a multidisciplinary approach to the monitoring of earth dams, while also contributing to the technical literature on the use of dispersive soils in engineering works.

Tem como título o processo de ensino e aprendizagem para aluno surdo do 3º ano do Ensino Fundamental I em Boa Vista/Roraima. Realizado pela orientadora e a mestranda durante no mestrado profissional no Ensino de Ciências. O presente estudo parte das inquietações e dificuldades encontradas pela pesquisadora diante de sua atuação profissional com os alunos surdos. Entre essas, está a falta de recursos didáticos, intérprete de Libras, sinais específicos do meio educacional, escassez de didáticas e metodologias voltadas para equidade e inclusão. Partindo desse princípio, buscou-se o favorecimento da educação científica deste público-alvo no espaço não formal, Bosque dos Papagaios, e na Sala de Recursos Multifuncionais por meio de uma experiência de imersão acerca do conhecimento da fauna regional. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos, contemplou o uso de uma sequência didática desenvolvida com 1 (um) aluno surdo do 3º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola do município de Boa Vista/RR, sobre as características e desenvolvimento dos animais silvestres da Região Amazônica, totalizando 10 (dez) aulas que foram organizadas de acordo com os Três Momentos Pedagógicos (3MPs) de Delizoicov (1990), fundamentada na teoria sociointeracionista de Vygotsky. A aplicação da sequência didática trouxe como resposta, a ampliação do número de animais conhecidos pelo aluno, assim como a correlação das características físicas dos animais como cor, tamanho, pelagem e demonstração do conceito de paisagem degradada e preservada, possibilitando um ensino mais dinâmico e atrativo ao aluno.
A Comparative Analysis of Teacher Education Pathways: United States vs. Vietnam
Authors: Linh Doan Nguyet , L. Bell Randy
Published: December 2024

This report provides a comparative analysis of teacher education pathways in the United States and Vietnam, focusing on the diversity of options and requirements, advanced educational attainment of novice teachers, and their subject assignments. Both countries offer traditional undergraduate and postgraduate pathways, and the U.S. offers alternative pathways. Traditional programs in the U.S. typically involve a four-year undergraduate degree in education followed by certification, while alternative programs, such as Teach for America, allow prospective teachers to work full-time in classrooms while completing their education coursework. In Vietnam, teacher education often involves specialized training programs within universities that emphasize pedagogy and subject knowledge. Novice teachers in the U.S. frequently pursue advanced degrees within the first few years of teaching. In Vietnam, advanced education is less common among novice teachers, who instead focus on continuous professional development. Subject assignments in the U.S. are typically aligned with teachers' training and certification areas, but teacher shortages can lead to out-of-field teaching. In contrast, subject assignments in Vietnam are more rigid, with teachers usually teaching subjects they specialized in during their training. This report highlights the strengths and challenges of each system and thus contributes to the global discourse on teacher education, aiming to inform policy decisions and improve teacher preparation programs worldwide.
DISKURSUS HAK EKSKLUSIF INDIKASI GEOGRAFIS ATAS PENGHAPUSAN MEREK TERDAFTAR DALAM PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM HAK KEKAYAAN INTELEKTUAL
Authors: Telaumbanua Kurniaman , Pandamdari Endang
Published: December 2024

Both trademarks and geographical indications are legal instruments that govern market communication about a product. Trademarks indicate the commercial origin of goods or services, while geographical indications signify geographical origin. Both also legally provide exclusive rights to use certain words or symbols. This research finds that trademarks and geographical indications are unique, non-interchangeable tools, and it is possible for legislation to protect both simultaneously; therefore, they are not in conflict but rather seen as harmonious tools. Specifically, in the implementation of laws in Indonesia, the implementation of Geographical Indications (GI) is given a higher status than that of registered trademarks. Explicitly, the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2016 on Trademarks and Geographical Indications, Article 72 paragraph (7), governs the removal of registered trademarks at the initiative, one of which is based on having similarity in essence and/or in entirety with a Geographical Indication. Therefore, it is necessary to develop legal formulations that can accommodate both trademark and geographical indication holders because both possess exclusive rights.

The formation of the Job Creation Law using the omnibus law concept is a solution offered by the Government to overcome complex overlapping regulations, including in the field of business licensing in Indonesia so that this effort is expected to encourage domestic investment activities. Risk-based business licensing is currently carried out through the Online Single Submission - Risk Based Approach (OSS-RBA) system, this system is a form of digitalization of public service mechanisms created by the government for business actors. OSS-RBA is expected to provide benefits because business actors can access the system anywhere and anytime, besides that the system is expected to increase and accelerate investment in Indonesia. Through a risk-based licensing concept, it not only makes it easier for investors to enter the Indonesian economic system, but also provides a structured system for the Government to carry out supervision with the aim of preventing misuse of issued permits. By emphasizing on the theory of law as a social engineering tool put forward by Roscoe Pound, Law is not only intended to provide regulation but Regulations provided by Law must be able to shape and create a climate of social life that is desired

The research discusses sexual violence, which is an act committed by a defendant who forces children to engage in sexual intercourse, resulting in 13 child victims, some of whom have given birth. This is based on case study Number 989/Pid.Sus/2021/PN.Bdg. The issues addressed are: 1) What are the criminal policies regarding sexual violence (intercourse) committed against more than one child? 2) How does the ruling of Judge Number 989/Pid.Sus/2021/PN.Bdg. reflect justice, legal certainty, and utility in cases of sexual violence (intercourse) against multiple children? The research employs a juridical-normative legal study method, is descriptive-analytical in nature, and utilizes both secondary and primary data. Data is collected through literature reviews and analyzed qualitatively. Conclusions are drawn using deductive logic. The answers to the problems are: 1) The criminal legal policy is an effort to combat crime and is an integral part of community protection efforts. The legal policies include: Law Number 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, Law Number 35 of 2014 amending Law Number 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, Law Number 17 of 2016 concerning the Establishment of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2016 on the Second Amendment to Law Number 23 of 2002 on Child Protection into Law, and Law Number 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes. 2)The handling of the case in this instance does not reflect the principle of justice, as the death penalty was imposed despite the Constitutional Court Decision No. 2-3/PUU-V/2007 and the Criminal Code of 2023 stating that the death penalty can be executed with a 10-year probationary period. This period allows for the possibility of change in the Defendant, showing remorse or developing a good character, which could lead to the death penalty being commuted to a life sentence or a 20-year term, with eligibility for remission and conditional sentences.

The complex land law issues upstream are affecting the stagnation of land law enforcement. Law enforcement by administrators is not adequately carried out, as the trend is always directed towards court resolutions (District Court Decision Selong No. 64/Pdt.G/2019/PN. Sel). Similarly, the enforcement of rights or certification often perceived as illegal is frequently seen as a discretionary matter, rather than a criminal one. The enforcement of land use and land utilization seems to be separated from land law enforcement, which should be carried out by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (Ministry of ATR/BPN). The author believes that there should be a collaborative effort among the Ministry of ATR/BPN, including the Regional Office of ATR/BPN in the Province and the Land Offices at the District/City level, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Provincial Government down to the District/City Governments, State-Owned Enterprises Branch Offices in the Province and District/City, as well as the High Prosecutor's Office and the District Prosecutor's Office to carry out land and building registration activities in their respective areas, in accordance with land law regulations and land registration, while also considering the relevant laws and their implementing regulations
