Authors: Dedeturk Bilge Kagan , Adanur Dedeturk Beyhan , Akbaş Ayhan
Published: March 2024

Forecasting tram passenger flow is an important part of the intelligent transportation system since it helps with resource allocation, network design, and frequency setting. Due to varying destinations and departure times, it is difficult to notice large fluctuations, non-linearity, and periodicity of tram passenger flows. In this paper, the first-order difference technique is used to eliminate seasonal structure from the time series data and the performance of different machine learning algorithms on passenger flow forecasting in trams is evaluated. Furthermore, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on forecasting success is examined. For this purpose, the tram data of Kayseri Transportation Inc. for the years 2018-2021 are used. Different estimation models including Linear Regression, Support Vector Regression, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Network, Convolutional Neural Network, and LongTerm Short Memory are applied and the time series forecasting performances of the models are evaluated with MAPE and R2 metrics.

Investigation of Single-step Fabrication of a Cathode-supported Planar Single-chamber Solid Oxide Fuel Cell and Its Performance
Authors: Sayan Yunus , Kim Jung-sik , Wu Houzheng
Published: March 2024

This study presents a cathode-supported planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) fabrication made via a single step co-sintering method and investigation of its performance. The materials used are NiO-CGO, CGO and CGO-LSCF for anode, cathode, electrolyte, respectively. Our study shows that increasing the cell size has a detrimental effect on cell single step co-sinterability. Increasing cathode thickness and reducing electrolyte thickness led to curvature decrease at the edges, however these adjustments were not enough to achieve a curvature-free cathode-supported cell. Thus, three porous alumina cover plates (total mass of 49.35 g) placed on the top of the cell during sintering were utilized to suppress curvature formation, and as a result, a nearly curvature- free cathode-supported cell was obtained. Performance of the cells were investigated. The results showed that increasing cathode thickness and decreasing electrolyte thickness had negative effects on cell performance despite enhanced single step co-sinterability of the cell. The maximum power density and OCV of the final planar cell (thickness 60-40-800 µm, anode-electrolyte-cathode) were found to be 1.71 mW cm-2 and 0.2 V, respectively, in a fuel rich condition (R:1.6). Additionally, the maximum OCV and power density among the all cells were measured from the cell (thickness 60-40-400 µm, anode-electrolyte-cathode) as 0.56 V and 24.79 mW cm-2, respectively, in a fuel rich condition (R:2.4).
Gamma-Ray Shielding Capacity of Bi2O3-SiO2-B2O3 Glass Powders with Different Bi2O3 Contents
Authors: Şengül Aycan , Akkurt İskender
Published: March 2024

In the present work, features of the ionizing radiation shielding of Bi2O3-SiO2-B2O3 glass powders with different Bi2O3 contents (45–60 mass%) has been investigated by using GAMOS (version 6.2). The validation of generated GAMOS simulation geometry has been provided by comparing the results with standard XCOM data for mass attenuation coefficients of glass powders. The Monte Carlo simulations were used to score photons that traveled in an absorber within the energy range of 0.01 MeV to 20 MeV, depending on the parameter under study. The simulation model involved a monoenergetic point source producing a pencil beam, absorber, and detector. We have calculated the mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), Half-value layer (HVL), Tenth-value layer (TVL), and Mean Free Path (MFP). The greatest linear attenuation coefficients in the whole energy range are related to Bi60 and the lowest were to Bi45. The obtained results were compared and these results are in good agreement with the obtained values from the XCOM program
Estimation of thermodynamics properties as a measure of the extent of interference in a conducting polymer based electrochemical aqueous ion sensor
Authors: Dutta Kusumita , Panda Siddhartha
Published: March 2024

Background: Interference of other ions towards the target analyte in an electrochemical sensor is typically estimated utilizing the peak reduction (PR) technique and the selectivity coefficient technique, both of which have limitations. In our earlier works, a scale of interference was developed using the barrier width (BW) technique based on Simmon’s model utilizing a conducting polymer-based sensor for the detection of Cd2+ by square wave voltammetry (SWV). Also, a new scale of interference was generated with higher resolution by incorporating the BW technique along with adsorption isotherms and the PR technique.
Methods: The present work takes the investigation further at the electrode-electrolyte interface to explain the interference effect using thermodynamic parameters such as the partition coefficient, enthalpy and reorganization energy. The length of the reaction site for Cd2+ can also measure interference effect. In this work, SWV for Cd2+ detection in presence of interfering species at different temperatures were conducted, -ΔGad values were extracted and all the thermodynamic parameters were evaluated. The novelty of this work lies in incorporation of these thermodynamic parameters along with BW values (d) to explain the interference phenomena.
Results: The variation of the thermodynamic properties for Cd2+ in presence of interfering species were examined. Correlation coefficients were developed from the thermodynamic parameters and the d values to explain the extent of interference. 
Conclusions: This study can provide information on the thermodynamic properties which can be predicted from BW technique. The correlation coefficients would help obtain an estimate of the interference with the need of lesser number of experiments.

Authors: Rina Herawati Augustin , . Maesaroh , Sunu Astuti Retno
Published: March 2024

As the capital city with a beautiful landscape, Padang has a huge potential as the center for development growth of West Sumatra province through its tourism sector. Besides its natural landscape, Padang also has historical sites, culinary uniqueness, and halal tourism that attract both local and foreign tourists to visit this region. This study then aims to explain the implementation of network governance in the tourism public policy in Padang City, so that the tourism performance in Padang can be optimized. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method with a literature review design by studying and analyzing secondary data. The results show that the government of Padang City has applied network governance to improve the formulation and implementation of its tourism policy. The application can be seen through the government’s efforts in conducting cooperation and collaboration with private actors, local communities, and other government agencies. Nevertheless, this implementation has not been optimal because there are some challenges faced by the governments, such as a lack of infrastructure and human resources capability.

Public Policy in Responding to Challenges the Role of Regional Goverment in Indonesia: A Literature Study
Authors: Ayu Putu Sri Widnyani Ida , Nengah Sarikumpul Ni , Made Sumada I , Junaedy Dede
Published: March 2024

The “Internet of things” phenomenon in Industrial Revolution 4.0 provides great opportunities that support and facilitate collaboration. However, to achieve effective collaboration, there are many challenges that the government must anticipate. This descriptive literature study summarizes the results of studies related to the public policy process in local governments that are expected to answer the challenges of bureaucratic reform toward Industrial Revolution 4.0 in Indonesia. This paper uses a descriptive literature study on secondary data for 2016-2023. The results of this descriptive literature study found two subdiscussions which include, bureaucratic reform inconsistency and adaptation to various crisis dynamics. Inconsistency in bureaucratic reform can occur due to a lack of commitment and competence, the professional expertise capacity of bureaucrats, and the emergence of competition between bureaucracy and other actors. In adapting to various crisis dynamics, the ineffectiveness of implementing a public policy appears, so that more proactive activities are needed to mobilize public aspirations, openness to management system approaches, and relevant technological developments as one of the solutions. This paper is expected to provide information and input for regional stakeholders in formulating public policies.

Authors: Aneta Yanti , Lakoro Iwan , Aneta Asna , Akib Haedar , Podungge Abdul Wahab
Published: March 2024

This study aims to analyze the optimization of asset management consisting of the process of planning, implementing, and supervising regional property. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological orientation. The data obtained from the study were analyzed using interactive models. The results showed weaknesses in the stages of planning, implementation, and supervision of assets. Therefore, the strategy to increase regional original revenue (PAD) through the optimization of regional property (BMD), the Gorontalo Provincial Government can take a series of innovation-oriented actions including: 1) A comprehensive asset audit of all assets owned including land, buildings, facilities, and inventory. This audit should include an assessment of the value, condition, and potential reuse. 2) Development of an asset management plan. 3) Involving private parties and communities to identify opportunities for cooperation in asset management. 4) Utilization of software technology to help monitor inventory, maintenance, and sustainability of assets. 5) Data-driven asset management by identifying new trends, market needs, and revenue potential to aid smarter decision-making processes related to asset utilization. 6) Promotion and marketing of assets that can be carried out by regional apparatus organizations (OPD) if they have facilities that can be leased or used commercially to help increase revenue. 7) Improved policies and regulations including procedures for leasing, maintaining, and reusing assets, as clear and flexible policies can support innovation and better asset utilization. The weakness in this study is mainly localisation, which is related to areas that predominantly prioritize local cultural values as the main foundation in their interaction with the surrounding environment. This is due to limitations in consideration of cultural variations that may exist outside the scope of those regions in this study. Therefore, the results of this study require careful consideration when applied in areas that have different cultural diversity or backgrounds.

Assessing Public Service Quality in Emerging Autonomous Regions: A Case Study of Basic Education Services in Central Mamuju Regency
Authors: Thahir Haning Mohammad , Ahmad Yani Andi , Ahmad Badu , Imam Aundhan Andi
Published: March 2024

There is a limited amount of research being undertaken on emerging autonomous areas, particularly in the evaluation of local governments capabilities in meeting the demands of autonomy, especially concerning the enhancement of public service delivery. This study seeks to address the existing research gap by evaluating the quality of public services provided by the newly established autonomous region administration, with a specific focus on the basic education sector. This study focuses on the Central Mamuju Regency, a recently established autonomous unit within the West Sulawesi Province. The researcher employed a mixed method approach in their study. Data gathering for quantitative approaches typically involves the administration of surveys, whereas qualitative data is often gathered through Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The survey was administered to a sample of basic education service providers, comprising 116 elementary schools and 37 secondary schools, resulting in a total of 153 participants. The primary objective of this study is to examine the minimal service standards on four key components, specifically facilities and infrastructure, educators and education personnel, curriculum, and education quality assurance. Data analysis methods employ statistical techniques to describe and analyze quantitative data, while utilizing interpretive approaches to analyze qualitative data. The findings of the study indicate that the newly established autonomous government faces challenges in enhancing the provision of basic education services, mostly owing to constraints in infrastructure. Another factor that adds to the deficiency in quality is the insufficient quantity of teachers who possess proper certification as educators.

Authors: Yuniningsih Tri , Hayu Dwimawanti Ida , Hanura Marten
Published: March 2024

Halal tourism as a new phenomenon in the tourism industry continues to grow along with the increasing number of Muslim tourists throughout the world, in developing halal tourism in Indonesia (case study in Batam City). The research method was carried out using a qualitative descriptive approach, with the technique of determining informants purposively, with the Head of the Department of Tourism and Culture as the Key Informant. The findings show that the collaborative model for developing halal tourism in the city of Batam is PENTAHELIX, where there are five helixes/elements involved, namely government, private sector, community, academics, and mass media. With the collaboration between actors/helix still not being optimal, it creates obstacles in efforts to promote halal tourism. Apart from that it was also found that there is still low human resource competency, there are no regulations governing it, and the lack of business actors managing halal logos. Therefore, the recommendations given are to increase cooperation between actors, increase socialization about halal logos, and increase HR competency. The government’s role in this matter is an important key to promoting and developing halal tourism in the city of Batam, considering that Batam city is one of the cities in the Riau Islands province which is one of the provinces that has become a leading halal tourism destination in Indonesia.

Examining the Indonesia Bureaucracy Response and Problem in Pandemic Times: A Preliminary Diagnostic Study
Authors: Riadi Slamet , . Awaluddin
Published: March 2024

The assessment of waste management policies within the Environmental Agency of Palu City has been governed by Regional Regulation No. 11 / 2013, which pertains to the management of garbage. Nevertheless, the implementation of this regional regulation has proven to be ineffective, namely in relation to the problem-solving element. By analyzing the goals, objectives, and contents, it can be inferred that the regional regulation is designed to address the waste issue in Palu City. The objective of this study was to assess the waste handling and management strategy implemented in Palu City with regards to its adherence to the Adipura standards. The employed research methodology was descriptive in nature and falls within the qualitative paradigm. The analysis employs William Dunn’s theory, as evidenced by the utilization of policy criteria such as effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The findings indicated that the waste treatment and management policy in Palu City with regards to Adipura was suboptimal. The failure of Palu City to secure the Adipura title in 2022 is evident. This observation demonstrates that the efficiency of waste management has not been fully realized. The process of landfill rubbish disposal in the Kawatuna landfill had not been concluded at the time of the assessment. Furthermore, the optimization of waste management in every urban village is yet to be achieved. The incomplete fulfillment of the budget allocated for waste management stands as the primary cause for this circumstance, with approximately 60% of the funds being disbursed. This observation demonstrates that the allocation of funds for trash management has not been commensurated, as there still remain several villages lacking the necessary means of transport.

Published: March 2024

The issue of smoking is becoming progressively genuine, both for dynamic smokers and individuals around them who don’t smoke (detached smokers). The cause of smoking among youngsters is expanding, due to the expanding concentration of publicizing, particularly portraying smoking as cool, and cheap cost of cigarettes. Cross-sector participation in dealing with KTR in schools is vital since execution is way better with cross-sector commitment and participation. The resultant information is considered to be exceptionally compelling and critical in changing students’ states of mind and practices regarding the threats of smoking, that is to say that, there is a relationship between information and early adolescents’ activities concerning KTR approaches in junior high schools. The method used in the study is in-depth interviews. Results show that companions have the most significant influence on pre-adult smoking behavior compared to mass media and peers. A few of the deterrents that exist within the bureaucratic structure, division of specialists, and extraordinary controls in a few schools in Bener Meriah have not been completely shaped, agreeing to Qanun number 1 of 2018 with respect to non-smoking zones in schools that still need to be moved forward. The study recommends more studies to be conducted on high-school students or young people who don’t go to school since their level of autonomy and social designs are distinctive from those that are in universities and colleges.

Published: March 2024

This study evaluates the institutional performance of Kemantren in Yogyakarta City. Changing the nomenclature of the subdistrict to Kemantren as a new local institution in Yogyakarta has some implications. This condition requires the development of a performance evaluation tool for Kemantren, which has yet to be available. A qualitative analysis was conducted to evaluate the performance of Kemantren as a new local institution. Primary data were obtained via in-depth interviews and FGDs, while secondary data were derived from official government documents. The study evaluated the performance of Kemantren by adjusting two Regulations of the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform to assess the performance of policies and public services, namely (a) The Regulation of the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia Number 88 of 2021 concerning Evaluation of Accountability for the Performance of Government Agencies and (b) The Regulation of the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of 2017 concerning Guidelines for Performance Assessment of Public Service Delivery Units. The assessment results show a significant impact from changing the nomenclature of subdistricts to Kemantren as a new local institution in the form of special funds. Although the Kemantren program has been funded through special funds from the Yogyakarta Special Region, the policy process starting from policy formulation, implementation, and policy reporting has no difference. In public service performance, Kemantren has done well, although it has not changed much after the change in the nomenclature.

Pekan Sagu Innovation Regains the Public Service Moment of Truth
Authors: Rahayu Desita , Sutikno Bambang , Rindawati Septi , . Faridah , . Romdana
Published: March 2024

The digital era has influenced public service innovation. Many districts/cities in Indonesia use digital service innovation to overcome the maladministration problem in civil registration services, however, Seluma regency government has chosen to maintain physical moment of truth through the Pekan Sagu innovation. This innovation is in the form of increasing service hours on Saturdays and Sundays through door-todoor service. The researcher chose a qualitative paradigm in order to reveal the natural conditions of the unit of analysis with a case study design. Primary and secondary data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation studies, with triangulation of sources, time, and methods. The research results show that Pekan Sagu has the dimensions of compatibility, complexity, trialability and observability. This innovation maintains the public service moment of truth which is actually the weak point of previous problems of public service because of maladministration. A direct in-touch service policy with an extension of service time can be a short-term solution to overcome some target groups’ problem who are not yet technologically literate, however, the government still has to educate citizens and prepare the need for digital-based services to meet the demands of long-term civil registration services.

School Committees' Effectiveness in the Context of School-based Management Policy
Authors: Ferriswara Dian , Ambarwati Arie , Roekminiati Sri , Devy Pramudiana Ika
Published: March 2024

The background of this research is the granting of broad educational autonomy to schools, which is a big concern for the government of Indonesia. School-based Management (SBM) appears as an alternative to the new paradigm of education management offered. One of the characteristics of SBM is inseparable from the participation of the community. School Committee is a forum for parents, communities, stakeholders, and entrepreneurs in school development and can bridge the interests of all the parties. To date, not many School Committees have been able to play an effective role in supporting the implementation of education in schools. One of the contributing factors is that the institutional design is not seriously empowered into an independent and professional institution. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of school committees in school-based quality improvement management. The study method is qualitative descriptive. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Validation of the collected data was done through triangulation techniques. The results showed that thematically the author underlined four important things, namely: first, the school committee has effectiveness as a consideration partner, material support, financial, thought and energy, and learning mediator; second, quality improvement strategies can be achieved through efforts to improve school subject competence and involvement in competitions; third, to measure the results of achievements, an education quality management audit is carried out, and; fourth, the budget as one of the determining factors in achieving school goals and objectives must be optimized by utilizing the flexibility of implementing Law No. 23 of 2014 and optimizing available resources. This research has implications for considerations in the preparation of internal school strategies to prioritize school needs and recommendations related to budget policies and inventory of school components.

Talent Management Policy and Meritocracy to Accelerate Bureaucratic Reform of Local Government: Comparative Study of Pontianak and Pekanbaru Cities
Authors: Dwiputrianti Septiana , Nugraha Widya , Wirjatmi T.L. Endang , Wulandari Putri
Published: March 2024

The Indonesian government prioritizes implementing talent management for bureaucratic reform in civil service (ASN) management. The merit system index measures the implementation of human resource management based on meritocracy values in government agencies with a minimal score of 250. However, data shows that only 12.8%of district and city local government agencies are included in the good and excellent categories, which is still far from the target set. At the end of 2022, based on data from the Indonesian Civil Service Commission (KASN) assessment results, the Pekanbaru City Government (Riau Province) got an outstanding or “Good” category for the merit system index. On the other hand, Pontianak City (West Kalimantan Province) is also in the excellent or “Very Good” category. This study aims to analyze the efforts made by the Pontianak City Government and Pekanbaru City in implementing the ASN management merit system and identify strategies to implement talent management. Studies are based on the results of qualitative research through collection of data and information from various sources, such as interviews, observations, secondary data, and documentation. Purposive sampling is applied with primary data sources obtained directly from the location through documentary evidence, focus group discussion (FGD), and interviews. The results of the study found that the governments of Pontianak City and Pekanbaru City have prepared several policies and initiatives for merit-based ASN management, as well as the implementation of talent management. Political support encourages the implementation of good talent management to be the key to success, because of the understanding of the importance of human resources to improve public services and encourage economic growth and quality of life in Pekanbaru City and Pontianak City. The absence of in-depth studies of talent management applications in city/regency local governments, especially outside Java, can contribute significantly to both the application practice and the science of administration and public policy.

Authors: Santos Victória de Oliveira , De Quadros Rosiléia Marinho
Published: March 2024

A discromatopsia é um distúrbio genético sem cura que faz o paciente não enxergar determinado comprimento de onda ou que as confundam. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer a situação dos estudantes da rede municipal de educação em relação a discromatopsia congênita. A pesquisa foi realizada com estudantes do ensino fundamental de quatro escolas da rede municipal de educação da cidade de Lages, Santa Catarina. O teste presuntivo para avaliar a visão de cores dos estudantes foi pela edição simplificada e modificada do livro de Ishihara. Foram examinados através do teste presuntivo de Ishihara para discromatopsia 80 alunos, destes 42 meninas e 38 meninos. Em relação as idades 58,75% na faixa entre 9 a 10 anos e 32,50 % dos estudantes estavam na quinta série do ensino fundamental. O resultado do teste presuntivo de Ishihara, revelou que uma menina não conseguiu detectar o número da placa do número 74, sendo considerado na interpretação do teste como discromatopsia total e três meninos e uma menina apresentaram deficiência nas cores verde e vermelho o que caracteriza um tipo de discromatopsia conhecida por deuteranopia. Mesmo que no estudo tenha sido baixa a presença deste distúrbio, se fazem necessárias políticas educacionais com maior preocupação com este problema, uma vez que interfere no processo de ensino-apredizagem dos alunos, o que seria importante que os professores do ensino fundamental fossem capacitados para identificar alunos com problemas de visão em relação a cores e promover medidas de orientação nas escolas. O diagnóstico precoce da discromatopsia pode proporcionar às crianças e familiares aconselhamento do que poderão fazer e buscar soluções de como trabalhar nas escolas com os alunos em relação as atividades pedagógicas.

Published: March 2024

Alzheimerjeva bolezen in druge demence predstavljajo najdražjo kronično bolezensko stanje, ki prizadene bolnika, svojce in širšo družbo, bolniki so vse bolj odvisni od pomoči drugih, največkrat za bolnike skrbijo svojci. Metode: Opravili smo sistematičen pregled znanstvene literature glede ocen ekonomskih stroškov demence, pregledali smo metodologijo ocen in strukturo stroškov. Rezultati: Na osnovi izbrane metodologije smo izračunali stopnjo prevalence demence v Sloveniji za leto 2019, standardizirano na starost in spol, ter ekonomske stroške demence. Izsledki naše raziskave presegajo dosedanje ocene ekonomskega bremena demence v Sloveniji. Razprava: Breme demence je visoko in predstavlja pomemben delež BDP. Demenca je pomemben javnozdravstveni in socialnovarstveni problem, ki se je tekom pandemije covid 19 poglabljal, tako v zdravstvenem kot socialnovarstvenem sistemu. Zaradi demografskih sprememb in podaljševanja življenjske dobe narašča število oseb z demenco. Med letoma 2000 in 2019 je umrljivost zaradi demence v svetu porastla za 145%. Leta 2019 se je vrh G20 z deklaracijo zavezal k skupnemu pristopu za obvladovanje demence. V Sloveniji je potrebno upoštevati dodatne posebnosti. Ustrezen informacijski sistem bi omogočil rutinsko spremljanje stroškov.
Canine Co-Workers: Unraveling the Challenges, Benefits, and Branding Dimensions of Dogs in the Workplace
Authors: Ružić Erik
Published: March 2024

Nowadays organizations struggle with staff shortages, so the concept of internal marketing or its modern variant, employer branding (EB), is taking on importance in organizations. The concept is based on the effort to attract, engage and retain employees by satisfying their needs. On the other hand, many people (i.e. potential employees) own a pet and their bond is usually very strong. Accordingly, a new practice has emerged among employers, which allows or even encourages employees to bring dogs into the workplace. In the current research, a multiple case study analysis was performed to determine if organizations nurture this practice only to attract employees (EB activity) or if a positive attitude to pets is part of their identity. Moreover, the conducted research pointed out the specificities of this practice, the benefits derived from it and the challenges of having dogs at the workplace.
Problematika uvajanja emisijskega standarda Euro 7
Authors: Senegačnik Marjan
Published: March 2024

Novi emisijski standard Euro 7 v primerjavi z dosedanjimi standardi serije Euro predstavlja kar nekaj novosti. Standardi serije Euro, ki določajo največje dovoljene emisije posameznih onesnažil (polutantov) za novo registrirane avtomobile v državah Evropske unije, so v veljavi od leta 1992, a so bili do sedaj ločeni za osebna in lahka tovorna vozila (Euro 1-6) ter za tovorna vozila in avtobuse (Euro I-VI). Standard Euro 7 pa obravnava vsa vozila enotno. Poleg tega je pomembno, da Euro 7 ne obravnava le emisij iz izpušne cevi motorja, ampak tudi emisije, ki nastanejo zaradi obrabe zavornih oblog in pnevmatik. Tako so poleg vozil, ki jih poganja motor z notranjim izgorevanjem, vključeni tudi električni avtomobili. Na začetku precej zaostrene zahteve standarda so povzročile kar precej nasprotovanj pri proizvajalcih vozil. Nesoglasja pa so nato presegli in dosegli rešitev, sprejemljivo za obe strani. Prispevek prikazuje predvsem okoljske vidike standarda Euro 7 in primerjavo s prejšnjimi standardi serije Euro.

Authors: Šušteršič Nataša
Published: March 2024

V prispevku proučujemo, kako nove tehnologije vplivajo na starejše zaposlene. V ta namen smo opravili raziskavo med starejšimi zaposlenimi in ugotavljali, kako se starejši zaposleni soočajo z uporabo novih tehnologij in ali starejši zaposleni menijo, da bi se bolje in lažje prilagodili vplivu novih tehnologij, če bi delodajalec prilagodil delovne procese. Ugotovili smo, da imajo nove tehnologije pozitiven vpliv na starejše zaposlene, da imajo starejši zaposleni dovolj spretnosti in znanj za njihovo uporabo ter da nove tehnologije starejšim zaposlenim ne predstavljajo niti težav niti stresa. Ugotovili smo tudi, da starejši zaposleni občutijo vrzel na področju prilagajanja delovnih procesov s strani delodajalcev. S prispevkom smo odprli pomembna vprašanja, npr. kako se prilagoditi starejšim zaposlenim in izboljšati interakcijo med njimi in novo tehnologijo ter kako prilagoditi delovna okolja za drugačen način opravljanja del in nalog, da bi se starejši zaposleni počutili dobro oziroma da bi jih čim bolje opolnomočili z znanjem uporabe novih tehnologij.

Authors: Urh Marko , Jereb Eva
Published: March 2024

Organizacija raziskovalne metode študije primere v okviru mednarodnih poletnih šol je kljub številnim prednostim še vedno ena izmed bolj podcenjenih izobraževalnih aktivnosti. Študija primera omogoča delo v skupini, študij realnih problemov, razvoj analitičnega razmišljanja ter veščin javnega nastopanja in drugo. Mednarodne poletne šole se najpogosteje izvajajo s študenti in nudijo interdisciplinarno izobraževanje, mreženje, krepitev kulturnih in jezikovnih veščin, pridobivanje kompetenc, možnosti osebne rasti in drugo. Kljub temu, da imata raziskovalna metoda študija primera in mednarodne poletne šole številne pozitivne lastnosti se omenjeni aktivnosti redko in dokaj nesistematično izvajajo v visokošolskih inštitucijah. Namen članka je predstaviti praktične izkušnje s študijo primera kot raziskovalno metodo v kontekstu mednarodne poletne šole, ki jo Fakulteta za organizacijske vede Univerze v Mariboru izvaja že nekaj let. V prispevku so prikazane praktične izkušnje z organizacijo in izvedbo dogodka, delo s tujimi študenti, tehnične zahteve za izvedbo dogodka, aktivnosti s podjetjem, ki sodeluje na dogodku in drugo. Študija primera v okviru mednarodne poletne šole prinaša številne koristi tako za fakulteto, študente in podjetje, ki sodeluje pri dogodku.
A Systematic Literature Review on Open Government Data use in Small and Medium Sized Enterprises
Authors: Blatnik Staša
Published: March 2024

The concept of open data has evolved significantly over the past decade, in line with increasing government policies and initiatives, the quality, volume and accessibility of public data has increased as well. As a result, expectations that open data will help create value, innovation, and a range of economic, social, and environmental transformations are very high. Despite the great potential and high expectations, little is known about the use of open data, especially in enterprises. The overall research goal is to assess the use of open data in Slovene small and medium sized enterprises. To address this problem, we first conducted a systematic literature review to 1) understand the open data field through a historic lens, 2) identify key areas of research, and 3) identify research gaps. Based on the findings we will develop a research agenda.
