Redefinición de las competencias de los empleados y empleadas públicas ante el uso de la Inteligencia Artificial por la Administración Pública
Authors: Mendilibar Navarro Patricia
Published: June 2023

En los próximos años, la Administración Pública comenzará a utilizar la inteligencia artificial (en adelante, «IA») en los procedimientos administrativos y en la gestión burocrática. La IA redundará en una mejora de la eficacia y eficiencia de la Administración Pública. Se trata de una oportunidad para acometer una verdadera transformación digital en el sector público, en la que necesariamente hay que tener presentes las desventajas que la IA conlleva. Por ello, el uso de la IA por parte de la Administración Pública obliga a redefinir las competencias de los empleados y empleadas públicos.Por ello, en primer lugar, es necesario establecer qué es la IA y qué usos puede hacer la Administración Pública de la misma. Además, resulta necesario examinar el estado legal de la cuestión, es decir, si ya existen normas que obliguen a la adopción de decisiones mediante IA o algoritmos.En segundo lugar, es necesario redefinir cómo van a ser las competencias de los empleados y empleadas públicos en este nuevo escenario, habida cuenta de que no solo van a tener que manejar nuevas tecnologías sino que, además, se van a reservar todas aquellas competencias que la máquina no sea capaz de realizar. A todo ello hay que sumar las habilidades de upskilling y reskilling, que implican la capacidad de aprendizaje continuo, imprescindibles para adaptarse a las nuevas circunstancias.

Published: June 2023

Changes in the online learning system in the post-covid-19 pandemic in universities are very important to study because universities had started reorganizing their activities before the covid-19 pandemic struck. The online learning system is still being implemented even though the frequency of use is not one hundred percent anymore like during the covid-19 pandemic. Learning activities have returned to normal, so lecturers are required to develop their ideas by sharing online learning methods to shape the character of competent and competitive graduates. Lecturer performance is also supported by job satisfaction, which is a problem related to the emotions of a lecturer in carrying out his duties. Not many studies examine the impact of online learning competence and job satisfaction on lecturer performance in the post-pandemic era. The population in this study were all permanent lecturers of STAI Al-Ishlahiyah Binjai, totaling 74 people, where the entire population was sampled. The data analysis technique used path analysis and Sobel Test to test the significance level of the intervening variable. The results of the study prove that online learning competence has a positive and significant effect on lecturer job satisfaction, online learning competence has a positive and significant effect on lecturer performance, job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on lecturer performance.

Analysis And Formulation of Marketing Strategies in Third Party Logistics (3pl) to Increase Sales
Authors: Sitompul Rodrick M. K.
Published: June 2023

Currently, the logistics business is one of the business sectors that has a high growth rate, this is in line with the increasing needs of people's lives accompanied by increasingly sophisticated technological developments. The Logistics Market in Indonesia in 2020 – 2024 shows a graph that continues to increase, meaning that the logistics business in Indonesia is always growing from year to year. ABC Company is the grandson of the Pertamina group and is a subsidiary of Pertamina Patra Niaga as a Commercial and Trading sub-holding. With this position, ABC is given the flexibility to do business with other sub-holdings but still in the corridor or core business in the logistics sector. Although the business that is targeted and engaged in still depends on the business potential of the parent company, in this case PT Pertamina group. However, ABC has not been able to capture the business potential that exists in the parent company because management does not get enough trust from the management of the parent company in managing work that is in accordance with the core/identity of ABC. Currently, the marketing strategy carried out by ABC is still not good. This can be proven by the fact that there is no other income and only depends on the operations of the parent company. There is no specific marketing strategy that can directly attract customers outside of the parent company PT. Pertamina is one of the reasons for the lack of income other than the parent company. In solving this problem, this study aims to formulate and analyze marketing strategies using external and internal analysis. Based on the results of the SWOT analysis, the company needs a strategy in the Defense category (W-T Combination) where the strategy is advertising, sales promotion, increasing focus on project channels and revitalizing the role of the HR Department.

Published: June 2023

Scope 1, 2, and 3 net zero is a major technological challenge for the chemical industry in Japan, but a failure or even a delay in achieving this goal could result in exclusion from international financing and supply chains. This study presents, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, multiple quantitative pathways from today until 2050 for the chemical industry operating in Japan to reach scope 1, 2, and 3 net zero. These pathways indicate that the demand for basic chemicals in Japan could decrease by 43% by 2050 owing to a combination of population decline and advances in circularity. Furthermore, these pathways demonstrate that securing access to bio-based feedstock and carbon capture and storage (CCS) is essential to avoid a supply limit that could be imposed under scope 3 net zero. Given the uncertainty of Japan’s access to both, the chemical industry should pursue both concurrently, while maximizing recycling. Specifically, it should secure long-term and stable sources of sustainable bio-based feedstock and aid in implementing carbon dioxide capture from incinerators in the waste management. This approach could also apply to chemical industries in other countries and regions with similar constraints.
Nitrene C–H Bond Insertion Approach to Carbazolones and Indolones. Formal Total Synthesis of (–)-Methyl N-Decarbomethoxychanofruticosinate, (–)-Aspidospermidine and (+)-Kopsihainanine A
Authors: Lakshman Mahesh , Sebastian Dellamol , Pradhan Padmanava , Neary Michelle , Willoughby Patrick
Published: June 2023

A new, modular platform for access to 1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-4H-carbazol-4-ones (H4-carbazolones) and 3,4-dihydrocyclopenta[b]indol-1(2H)-ones (H2-indolones) is disclosed from readily accessed 2-arylcycloalkane-1,3-diones (6- and 5-membered). These precursors were prepared through a Cu-catalyzed arylation of 1,3-cyclohexanediones with aryl iodides or via a ring-expansion of aryl succinoin derivatives. Activation of a single carbonyl group in the diones, a highly regioselective reaction with unsymmetrical 2-arylcyclohexane-1,3-diones, and subsequent azidation gave 3-azido-2-aryl-cycloalk-2-en-1-ones. The regioselectivity was computationally assessed. Finally, a Rh-catalyzed nitrene/nitrenoid insertion into the ortho-C–H bond of the aryl moiety, gave the H4-carbazolones and H2-indolones, products that are of high synthetic value. One carbazolone synthesized was elaborated to a key intermediate for the formal total synthesis of N-decarbomethoxychanofruticosinate, (–)-aspidospermidine, (+)-kopsihainanine A. With 2-aryl-1,3-cycloheptanedione, prepared from cyclohexanone and benzaldehyde, the azidation reaction was accomplished in a facile manner. However, the Rh-catalyzed reaction led to some unusual observations, with an azirine as a major product. DFT computations were performed in order to understand the differences in reactivities of the 5- and 6-membered -azido enones in comparison to the 7-membered analogue.

Dimensions of Object Relations in People with Autism Spectrum Disorder as a Basis for Strengthening Social Relatedness Skills
Authors: Rogič Ožek Simona
Published: June 2023

This paper presents the results of a study focusing on the dimensions of object relations in people with autism spectrum disorder. An object relation denotes a relationship with a significant other, within which several identification processes take place through a meaningful emotional exchange. This is described by the developmental process of separation and individuation, which primarily occurs in children from birth to their third year of life. Although deficits in social relationships represent the most typical features of autism, there is still a great deal of uncertainty in this field. Based on the theoretical background, we hypothesised that differences in the characteristics of object relations in people with autism spectrum disorder compared to the characteristics of object relations in people without autism spectrum disorder are reflected in a greater expression of disturbances in object relations, especially in the more pronounced dimensions of greater social isolation and symbiotic merging. The quantitative research sample comprised 38 adults with autism spectrum disorder with normal intellectual abilities and 100 adults without autism spectrum disorder. The Test of Object Relations, which measures the individual dimensions of object relations, was used for data collection. The results show that there are statistically significant differences between the two groups of respondents, as the dimensions of symbiotic merging, social isolation and separation anxiety are more pronounced in adults with autism spectrum disorder. These findings serve as a basis for designing professional support for people with autism spectrum disorder in order to promote autonomy to strengthen the skills needed for social relatedness and social inclusion.
Ways of Making

Published: June 2023

“The preoccupation is with how to use materials and forms at a human scale, the scale at which people touch, experience and live in the world.” (Heatherwick, 2012, p.13)I am interested in honest materials, and using honest materials in honest ways. What happens when you place material at the very genesis of the design process? This design-led research aims to design first and foremost with material in mind. Using the intrinsic qualities present in a material in order to create an architecture that honestly represents craft and reveals the mark of its maker.

Steel and clay are the two dominant materials explored in this thesis. Oddly similar where material can be added on and joints can be fused together. Clay uses wedging and slip, while steel uses welding techniques. At first, these two are explored separately, then brought together through tests in creating objects and furniture at a 1:1 scale. Plaster, timber, and fabric have all been utilised in a minor sense as well.

Ultimately this research of material through handcraft has been used to heavily inform an architectural outcome, whereby the building itself is a culmination of material findings. This material inquiry is pushed through a Newtown site and the programme of a community ceramics studio to consummate a final working architecture.

In challenging the idea of absolute architecture, of final objects, and rather looking to constantly test ideas – designing through material investigation has led to invention and unpredictable outcomes. Understanding materials, and gaining practical experience of using them was essential to developing ideas and finding ways of making them happen.

Authors: Cilliers Liezel , Twinomurinzi Hossana , Murire Obrain
Published: June 2023

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have increased access to higher education by allowing South Africans to access free, online-based, open content created by higher education institutions worldwide. However, most MOOCs report significant student drop-out rates before completing a course. Higher education institutions must understand learner motivation for completing a MOOC. This paper examines the motivational factors influencing the completion rate of MOOCs in South Africa. This study employed a quantitative approach to collect data using an online questionnaire from South African respondents. A total number of 3147 responses were recorded, and the data were analyzed with SPSS V28. Correlation statistics tests were used to denote the association between the four independent variables and the dependent variable. The study's most important findings are that intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors, motivation to continue, and the availability of resources positively impact a MOOC's completion rate. The study concludes that these factors will improve the throughput rate of MOOCs. It is recommended that all higher education institutions that offer MOOCs create a conducive online learning environment that offers independence and freedom of learning with plenty of communication and collaboration between students and facilitators. Creating such an environment will encourage active participation in the course and improve throughput rates.

Authors: Mohamed Abdul-Razak M. , Abood Abdullah N.
Published: June 2023

The study was aimed to update the knowledge on the fish landings of the inland fisheries in Basrah province, Iraq. The species composition, species and total landings, and their trends in six landing sites throughout the study region were evaluated during the year 2020-2021. Species compositions were included seven cyprinids’ species, three cichlids’ species, three mullet’s species, and two species from sparids and silurids. The exotic species, C. carpio, tilapias species and C. auratus dominated the landings constituting 44.2% of the total catch, whereas the highly valued native species (M. sharpeyi, L. xanthopterus, C. luteus and A. grypus) forming only 12.4% of the total catch. The total landing reached 2,427.78 t in 2020 and 2,365.15 t in 2021, and these values were higher than what was recorded during the past years since the year 2009. This is due to the prevalence of aliened species and the increase in the fishing effort, such as the numbers of fishermen and fishing boats. Therefore, in fisheries management point of view, it is essential to enhance the stocks of the native species, minimize the dispersal and impacts of some exotic species, and activate the national regulating fishing, exploitation and protection of aquatic organisms to improve the inland fisheries.

Authors: Awal Md. Rabiul , Nasrin Subrina , Rahman Md. Ashikur , Nahiduzzaman Md.
Published: June 2023

A total of 286 Badis badis were collected from the Sutiyahali Reservoir in Mymensingh from January to December 2022, and their sex ratios, first sexual maturity, length-weight relationships and condition factors were evaluated. The weight and length of B. badis varied from 0.81 to 1.01g (0.89±0.30) and 4.08 to 4.60cm (4.36±0.31), respectively. Logistic curves depicting a sex ratio and 50% maturity (L50) estimated at 4.5cm for females and 4.05cm for males, as well as males reaching first sexual maturity with a shorter length than females. Regression coefficients in every month differ significantly (p<0.05), according to the regression equations. Each month, the values of the exponent b were less than 3 (b<3), with the highest value of b recorded in August (2.80) and the lowest value recorded in January (2.33). This led to a monthly negative allometric growth being seen. A strong positive relationship is evident from the coefficient of determination (r2) values, which ranged from 0.92-0.98 with an average of 0.961. During the study, the average condition factor (Kn) value for B. badis was found to be 1.02±0.13, which is a positive indicator of the fish's physical well-being. The condition factor values varied between 0.84 to 1.39, making it abundantly clear that B. badis are in good health and the waterbody is an ideal habitat for their survival. Relative condition factor (Kr) values, which varied between studies and ranged from 0.78 to 1.01, also exhibited a noteworthy difference (p<0.05). For its long-term management, the above findings will be very helpful.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: This study aimed to develop a standard process and checklist for technical investigation of hookah diving equipment and apply it to Tasmanian hookah fatality investigations from the last 25 years. Methods: A literature search was undertaken to identify technical reports and equipment investigations associated with diving accidents. The information was assimilated to create a process and checklist for specifically assessing the hookah apparatus. The checklist was then applied in a gap analysis of Tasmanian hookah diving fatality technical reports from 1995 to 2019. Results: As no papers specifically describing technical evaluation of hookah equipment were identified, references evaluating scuba equipment were used to create a hookah technical assessment process incorporating unique features of the hookah. Features included: owner responsibility for air quality; maintenance, function; exhaust proximity to air intake; reservoir volume; output non-return valves; line pressure; sufficiency of supply; entanglement; hose severance risk; gas supply failure and hosing attachment to the diver. Seven hookah diving deaths occurred in Tasmania (1995-2019) of which three had documented technical assessment. Gap analysis identified inconsistent structure between reports with variability in the case descriptors. Missing technical data included: overview of the hookah systems; accessories; weights; how the apparatus was worn by the diver; compressor suitability; assessment of hookah function; breathing gas output and exhaust position relative to air intake. Conclusions: The study demonstrated a need to standardise technical reporting of hookah equipment after diving accidents. The checklist generated may serve as a resource for future hookah assessments and inform strategies for preventing future hookah accidents.

Let’s Get Ready for Work – Employability Skills Development in an IS Capstone Project
Authors: Gafni Ruti , Leiba Moshe , Sherman Sofia
Published: June 2023

Aim/Purpose.
This study aims to explore undergraduate IS students’ employability skills development while performing their final capstone project during their academic studies.

Background.
The importance of soft skills in the Information Systems industry is not an arguable fact and has been broadly discussed both in the industry and the academic literature. The ability of professionals to collaborate, communicate, manage time, negotiate, solve problems, make decisions, and self-learning, called employability skills, are essential skills needed in today’s industry. The development of these skills during undergraduate studies is essential for graduate students’ readiness for work.

Methodology.
A mixed methods approach was employed using exploratory research design, including qualitative and quantitative approaches. First, a qualitative analysis of 156 reflections was performed, resulting in the conceptual framework of facets. Then, a quantitative analysis of the data was performed to examine the facets and the differences between the stages of the capstone project.

Contribution.
This study contributes to both academy and industry. The former may use this study’s findings to upgrade academy courses and capstone projects in order to raise students’ readiness for the industry. The later may learn the approaches the academy use and give appropriate feedback.

Findings.
The results showed that students’ reflections on their motivation, knowledge, and skills (teamwork, time management, and inter-communication) demonstrate the importance of those facets in the process they underwent, especially since the reflections collected were unstructured.

Recommendations for Practitioners.
Information Systems undergraduate academic programs should develop structured capstone projects to provide the students with a better platform to learn and experience the employability skills the industry requires.

Recommendations for Researchers .
The study presents a conceptual model based on students’ reflections on their experience performing a capstone project. The impact and influence of each of the model’s components should be further researched and measured.

Impact on Society.
Moreover, it is very important to prepare the students for employability by including a “real-life” capstone project at the end of their undergraduate studies to prepare them to be valuable in the workforce, even at their start point as juniors.

Future Research.
To evaluate the process of employability skills development, a further study can examine students’ perceptions prior to the capstone, during, and after to assess the progress and changes. To generalize the results, it would be valuable to investigate whether the findings of this study are consistent across different institutions and disciplines.

Contribution.
This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by providing evidence that in the curricula of non-IT majors, information security does not occupy its important place assigned to it by the current reality of an ever-increasing threat of cyber-attacks.

Findings.
Sharing authors’ experience acquired in examining educational policy related to students’ digital literacy and cybersecurity literacy will contribute to the transition of secondary and higher education in a way to address 21st-century challenges.

Recommendations for Practitioners.
Considering the findings of this study, schools and universities need to include cybersecurity issues and concerns in curricula to raise awareness of their graduates in this field.

Recommendations for Researchers.
Conducting research on IT and cybersecurity literacy acquired at the level of secondary and higher education in Bulgaria could identify some gaps and improve the curricula.

Impact on Society.
Rapid technological progress radically changes and redefines conventional teaching and learning processes in education to meet current challenges.

Aim/Purpose.
The aim of this study is to propose a teaching approach based on AI-based chatbot agents and to determine whether the use of this approach increases the students’ motivation.

Background.
Today, chatbots are an integral part of students’ lives where they are used in various contexts. Therefore, we are interested in incorporating these tools into our teaching process in order to profit from their benefits, assist and guide students while working with to prevent issues such as plagiarism and mainly to boost students’ motivation.

Methodology.
Using the proposed approach, new chatbot based learning activities were de-signed in three different courses for computer science engineering students. A mixed-method experimental study was conducted to evaluate students’ impression and satisfaction. Survey results of the students (N=58) who participated in the experiment (experimental group) were compared to the results of the students from the control group (N=60).

Contribution.
Trending AI conversational agents can be engaged in daily teaching activities as a learning assistant and coach to boost students motivation and skills development.

Findings.
Our study focuses on the impact of chatbots on student’s motivation. The study aimed to analyze the benefits and drawbacks associated with these conversational chatbots. Our findings revealed the significant role that chatbots can play in enhancing student motivation and improving teaching practices.
Traits Contributing to the Promotion of the Individual’s Continuance Usage Intention and Perceived Value of M-University Services
Authors: Ahmed Fadelelmoula Ashraf
Published: June 2023

Aim/Purpose.
This study aims to examine the roles of key traits of m-university services and their users in promoting two crucial post-adoption outcomes of these services; namely, continuance usage intention and perceived value.

Background.
M-university (i.e., a university providing services via mobile technologies) has gained a great interest in the higher education sector as a driver of new business models and innovative service offerings. However, its assessment has been greatly overlooked, especially in evaluating the factors that drive the stakeholders’ continuance intention to use it and the determinants of its post-adoption perceived value. Consequently, research efforts undertaking such assessment facets empirically are highly required.

Methodology.
An integrated research model that enables such assessment was developed and evaluated using a quantitative research methodology. Accordingly, data were collected using a formulated closed-ended survey questionnaire. The target population consisted of the academic staff of a Saudi public university that has witnessed an extensive adoption of m-university services. The obtained data (i.e., 207 fully completed responses) were evaluated using the structural equation modeling approach.

Contribution.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that gains the chance to provide the research community and m-service providers with new knowledge and understanding about the predictors that drive the continuance usage intention and value of m-university services.

Findings.
The findings showed that all of the examined traits of m-university services and their users (i.e., reliability, usability, customization, self-efficacy, and involvement) are having positive roles in promoting the continuance intention to use these services, while only two traits (i.e., reliability and involvement) contribute significantly to augmenting the perceived value.

Recommendations for Practitioners.
The study recommends developing effective design and implementation specifications that strengthen the contributions of the examined traits in the post-adoption stage of m-university services.

Recommendations for Researchers.
Further studies should be devoted to addressing the notable need to assess the factors influencing the adoption of m-university services, as well as to explore which ones are having significant roles in the attainment of post-adoption outcomes.

Impact on Society.
The empirical insights provided by the present study are essential for both university stakeholders and mobile service providers in their endeavors to improve the key aspects of the anticipated post-adoption outcomes of the provided services.

Future Research.
Further empirical investigations are needed to examine the roles of more m-university services and user traits in achieving a broad range of post-adoption outcomes of such services.

ARTISTIC PRACTICE STRATEGIZING AS AN ARTIST’S PROFESSIONLA TOOL
Authors: Peskisheva Karolina S.
Published: June 2023

In contemporary art history and, more generally, in the humanities in general, there are many ideas of what art is, contemporary art, what it means to do art and what the functions of art are. Often these are contradictory. This leads to a complex situation that forces researchers, unable to gain coherent and consistent knowledge of “art”, to operate with essentially knowledge-based knowledge “phantoms” that express a conceptual attitude towards it rather than its mere existence. This problem, however, is not only theoretical but also practical. The artist is the creator of something that can only potentially be regarded as art. Entering the field of professional practice, the artist has to develop, from scratch, an algorithm of activity that defines not only the object he or she produces (the work of 'art') but also the potential reception of this produced object in a certain quality (as a work of 'art'). Yet, at the same time, it is likely that the artist has no such experience of methodological work, which is simply beyond the scope of professional competence. In this article we propose a model for artistic practice strategizing, which the artist can turn to in order to consciously formulate his or her own artistic concept and plan its implementation.
