Authors: Luo Hanyang , Song Wugang , Zhou Wanhua , Lin Xudong , Yu Sumin
Published: September 2023

This work attempts to develop a novel framework to reveal the preferences of Chinese car users from online user-generated content (UGC) and guides automotive companies to allocate resources reasonably for sustainable design and improve existing product or service attributes. Specifically, a novel unsupervised word-boundary-identified algorithm for the Chinese language is used to extract domain professional feature words, and a set of sentiment scoring rules is constructed. By matching feature-sentiment word pairs, we calculate car users’ satisfaction with different attributes based on the rules and weigh the importance of attributes using the TF-IDF method, thus constructing an importance-satisfaction gap analysis (ISGA) model. Finally, a case study is used to realize the framework evaluation and analysis of the twenty top-mentioned attributes of a small-sized sedan, and the dynamic ISGA-time model is constructed to analyze the changing trend of the importance of user demand and satisfaction. The results show the priority of resource allocation/adjustment. Fuel consumption and driving experience urgently need resource input and management.
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of the Cropland Area and Its Response to Increasing Regional Extreme Weather Events in the Farming-Pastoral Ecotone of Northern China during 1992–2020
Authors: Zhou Wencun , Liu Zhengjia , Wang Sisi
Published: September 2023

The cropland area is closely related to food production. Previously, more focuses were paid on impacts of extreme events on food production, but less on cropland dynamics. This study used the piecewise linear regression, the correlation analysis, and the ridge regression to explore the spatiotemporal dynamics of cropland and its drivers in three time periods (1992–2020, 1992–2010, and 2010–2020) at the Farming-Pastoral Ecotone of Northern China (FPEN). Specifically, 13 driving factors were considered from the perspectives of extreme events, environmental conditions, socioeconomic development, urban sprawl, and ecological construction. Results showed that the cropland area increased significantly at a rate of 333.5 km2/a during 1992–2020 and was spatially clustered in the eastern FPEN. The impact extent and size of each driving factor on the cropland trend presented large spatiotemporal differences, but ecological construction had, overall, the greatest impact on cropland area changes, followed by urban sprawl. In comparison, extreme low temperature had the smallest. Since the 2010s, areas with urban sprawl being the dominant factor in cropland dynamics have increased by 41.9%, but it is still less than the ecological construction impact. Furthermore, this study found that extreme event effects on the cropland area trend evidently increased. Particularly, extreme high temperature displayed the highest increase (~99.4%). Cropland area changes dominated by extreme temperature events in 2010–2020 increased by nearly six times compared to those in 1992–2010. These results suggest that policy and planning makers should caution increasing impacts of regional extreme weather events on cropland area changes.

Published: September 2023

To reduce the environmental damage caused by coal waste landfills, it is necessary to look for rational methods for their management. One method for their development is the creation of soil-like substrates. This study aimed to assess the properties of soil-like substrates from coal mining waste, combined with a varied sample of sewage sludge and waste mineral wool. The properties of the substrates were evaluated in a pot experiment. The properties of the substrates and their yield potential were determined. Coal mining waste as a substrate, compared to anthropogenic soil, was characterized by a significantly higher sorption capacity; the content of alkaline cations and pH; significantly higher contents of organic carbon, nitrogen, and available forms of K and Mg; and a lower content of available P. The substrates enriched with sewage sludge showed a significant increase in content of organic carbon, nitrogen, and assimilable forms of P and Mg, as well as the optimization of sorption properties. Extending the composition of substrates with mineral wool resulted in further improvement of their properties. The yields of plants grown on coal mining waste were significantly lower than those of those grown on anthropogenic soil. Substrates with sewage sludge and mineral wool had a significantly higher yield potential.
Understanding the Nonlinear Impact of Information and Communication Technology on Carbon Emissions in the Logistics Industry of China
Authors: Peng Geng , Tang Yixuan , Tian Kaiyou
Published: September 2023

Information and communication technology (ICT) has broken the boundaries of traditional geographical space, and thus substantially promoted the development of the logistics industry. However, the effect of ICT on the carbon emissions of the logistics industry (CELI) has not been systematically explained. With Chinese provincial data from 2000 to 2018, this paper uses static and dynamic panel models and three robustness test methods to unveil the nonlinear impact of ICT (taking Internet usage as a proxy) on CELI. Some significant findings are concluded in this paper. (1) The relationship between Internet usage and CELI is inverted U-shaped, with the curve’s inflection point emerging in 2015. (2) The formation of the inverted U-shaped relationship is determined by the different roles of total factor productivity (TFP) and the express delivery business of the logistics industry. Specifically, Internet usage plays a positive role in TFP, which reduces carbon emissions but simultaneously increases carbon emissions by promoting the development of express delivery business. (3) The relationship between Internet usage and CELI is an inverted U-shape in the eastern and western regions, while in the central region, the relationship is linear. According to the findings, some policies at country, region and enterprise levels are highlighted in order for policymakers to utilize ICT to achieve reductions in carbon emissions.
Detecting Land Surface Temperature Variations Using Earth Observation at the Holy Sites in Makkah, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Fallatah Ahmad , Imam Ayman
Published: September 2023

During Hajj, Muslims throughout the globe assemble at the holy sites in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government aims to increase the number of pilgrims. To ensure the pilgrims’ safety from the impact of surface urban heat island (SUHI), a scientific approach using artificial intelligence and Earth observation (EO) is recommended for crowd management and human health. SUHI is usually measured using satellite LST data. UHIs impact the walkability of cities in hot climates. The development of digital technologies has provided researchers with a better understanding of crowd management modeling to control such a mass gathering, especially within the summer season and in drought regions. In this study, an approach was used to detect the UHI in holy sites and understand the factors causing them. To achieve this goal, EO data were used to calculate the LST using the Landsat 8 thermal band (TIRS) and calculating the surface emissivity and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Then, UHIs were identified by adding the mean of the LST to half of its standard deviation. Based on the results of this study, LST had a strong correlation with NDVI (negative) in Arafah. In addition, the strength of the correlation became much weaker within Mina and Muzdalifah. As for the correlation of LST and elevation, the strength appeared to be weak but negative in Arafah, but stronger in Muzdalifah and Mina. The results show that there is a certain correlation between LST, NDVI, and NDBI and elevation in the study area. Using Earth observation technologies can help in studying climate change.

Brown Coal Waste in Agriculture and Environmental Protection: A Review
Authors: Symanowicz Barbara , Toczko Rafał
Published: September 2023

Modern agricultural technologies have contributed to a significant reduction in the amount of soil organic matter. Brown coal waste (BCW), with low energy content, can be used to neutralize this process, contributing to the recuperation of soil fertility and to environmental protection. More studies need to be conducted on organomineral fertilizers based on BCW and applied to soils with low humus content. Apart from increasing soil production capacity in arable fields, BCW could be used for the reclamation of industrially contaminated areas and degraded soils, in the vicinity of motorways and in soilless agriculture. It can also be used as a sorbent of gases emitted from slurry during its storage such as NH3, H2S, mercaptans, volatile fulvic acids (FAs); as a component of sewage sludge compost; as a natural additive to calf feed; and for the production of adsorbents for sewage and wastewater treatment.

Published: September 2023

Increasing legume intake through dietary diversification confers nutritional and environmental benefits. This study used life cycle assessment to evaluate the environmental impacts of producing frozen green peas from conventional and organic farming. We explored two ways of treating farm data: modeling each farm (baseline) and using a uniform distribution of each farm parameter’s average, maximum, and minimum values (alternative). We also assessed the indirect land-use change (iLUC) impacts by applying a deterministic model and used the EF 3.0 method to estimate the midpoint environmental impacts. The results of the two scenarios for pea cultivation (including iLUC) showed notable differences in absolute terms with minor discrepancies in the contribution analysis (e.g., climate change (CC) for the baseline and alternative were 0.98 and 2.09 kg CO2 eq./kg fresh peas, respectively). Generally, conventional peas had a higher environmental impact than organic peas, although this was not uniformly observed across all farms. When included, iLUC accounted for nearly half of the CC score. Pea cultivation was the most impactful phase due to emissions from fertilizers and field operations. The impacts of pea production can be reduced by anaerobic digestion of pea residues with energy and nutrient recycling. However, improvements in processing and nitrogen use efficiency could significantly enhance the overall environmental performance of frozen green peas. In summary, this study emphasizes the need for sustainable practices to minimize the environmental impact of frozen pea production.

Published: September 2023

City air traffic as a new transportation mode has gradually attracted attention in recent years which will bring endless vitality to future urban development. An objective and accurate assessment of the vertiport capacity for UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) is the basis for implementing air traffic flow management for UAVs, which is also a prerequisite for improving the efficiency of urban airspace resources used. Firstly, new topology designs are proposed and named as connected and compact topology designs based on the existing central airport topology design. Subsequently, three modes of operation are summarized for vertiports with multiple TLOF pads: independent operation, dependent operation, and segregated operation. In the next place, the overall traffic flow of the vertiport model is established based on AnyLogic while analyzing the logic of UAV operation in three modes as mentioned above. Eventually, according to the simulation results, the vertiport operation capacity, the UAVs delay, and surface area utilization under different operation modes and topology designs are analyzed. The simulation result shows that the overall average delay time of UAVs for independent operation mode is about 100 s less than that of segregated operation and it also shows that the utilization rate of independent operation mode under central design is as high as 54.42% while the utilization rate of TLOF pads of other design is less than 50%, and its vertiport capacity is the largest, so the independent operational mode under central configuration is the optimal combination.
Self-Similar Solutions of a Bianchi Type-III Model with a Perfect Fluid and Cosmic String Cloud in Riemannian Geometry
Authors: Gad Ragab Mohamed , Al-Jedani Awatif
Published: September 2023

A Bianchi type-III cosmological model with self-similarity symmetry is investigated in cases with perfect fluid distribution and a cosmic string cloud. We show that this model admits a non-trivial homothetic vector field which possess non-null homothetic bivectors. This homothetic vector field is not parallel to its source vector (current vector). We discussed cases where the homothetic vector is either orthogonal or parallel to the 4-velocity of a fluid element. We solved Einstein’s field equations without making any assumptions on the geometry of space-time, only assuming that it admits self-similarity symmetry. We obtained new exact self-similar solutions for the Bianchi type-III model. We show that all obtained solutions are shear, and space-time is shear free in only the case where the homothetic vector field is parallel to the 4-velocity vector. The kinematical and physical properties of the obtained solutions are discussed.

Published: September 2023

The pathology caused by three different isolates of lumpy skin disease virus, classical field cluster 1.2 strain Dagestan/2015, recombinant vaccine-like cluster 2.1 strain Saratov/2017, and cluster 2.2 strain Udmurtiya/2019, in cattle was compared from experimental infections. The infection of cattle was performed using intravenous administration of 2 mL of 105 TCID50/mL of each specific LSDV. Both classical and recombinant forms of LSDV cause pathological changes in the skin and lymph nodes, as well as the trachea and lungs. Due to circulatory disorders in the affected organs, multiple areas of tissue necrosis were observed, which, with the resurgence of secondary microflora, led to the development of purulent inflammation. Observed pathological changes caused by the recombinant vaccine-like strain Udmurtiya/2019 were characterized by a more pronounced manifestation of the pathoanatomical picture compared to the classical field strains Dagestan/2015 and Saratov/2017. Interestingly, Dagestan/2015 and Udmurtiya/2019 caused damage to the lymph nodes, characterized by serous inflammation and focal purulent lymphadenitis caused by purulent microflora. “Saratov/2017” did not cause pathology in the lymph nodes. All LSDVs were virulent and caused pathology, which was not distinguishable between viruses. This data set will serve as the experimentally validated basis for the comparative examination of novel LSDV strains in gross pathology.

Feed additives and biologically active agents of natural origin have been widely used in recent years to increase the productive potential of poultry and improve the quality of poultry products. The purpose of the work was to determine the eff ect of the dose of bentonite input into compound feed on the meat productivity of broiler goslings of Italian White breed. Scientifi c and economic experiment was carried out on broiler goslings of Italian White breed. The goslings were divided into three groups (control and two experimental) according to the principle of analogues. The broiler goslings of the control group received complete compound feed, and the herdmates of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups received compound feed with the inclusion of 1,25 and 1,50 % bentonite in its composition. It was found as a result of the research that at the age of 56 days broiler goslings of the control group were inferior to herdmates of the 1st experimental group by 6,39 % (p < 0,05), the 2nd experimental group by 9,13 % (p < 0,01). Total and average daily gains in live weight of broiler goslings of the 1st experimental group were 6,57 % higher (p < 0,05), of the 2nd experimental group by 9,38 % (p < 0,01) than in the control group. The weight of the gutted carcass of broiler goslings of the control group was lower than the carcasses of goslings of the 1st experimental group by 174,33 g or 10,65 % (p < 0,05), the 2nd experimental by 293 g or 17,90 % (p < 0,01). The yield of the gutted carcass in the control group was lower compared to the experimental groups by 1,51 and 3,26 (p < 0,01) abs.%, respectively. The most nutritious meat was obtained from goslings who consumed bentonite. The meat of goslings, whose diet included 1,25 % bentonite by 5,54 % (p < 0,05), and 1,50 % bentonite by 6,69 % was calorifi c compared to control herdmates. Thus, the introduction of 1,25 and 1,50 % bentonite into the diet of broiler goslings positively aff ected their meat productivity and meat quality.
Peculiarities of Attracting Private Investments in the Area of the NWO on the Basis of Public-Private Partnership Legislation
Authors:   Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Shakhov O. F.
Published: September 2023

In October 2022, four new subjects of the federation joined the Russian Federation: the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions (hereinafter referred to as the «new» regions). In addition to the main task of the complete liberation of these territories, the problem of restoring the civilian and industrial infrastructure destroyed as a result of hostilities in these regions is extremely urgent and acute. This article discusses the task of organizing a large volume of construction and restoration work in the new regions. Partially, this problem can be solved by attracting private investment. However, attracting private business is extremely problematic due to legislative and administrative barriers. The article proposes an innovative scheme for attracting private investment for repair and restoration work based on the use of the mechanism of public-private partnership (hereinafter referred to as PPP). As part of the implementation of this scheme, some kind of cooperation between the regions is expected — between a specific new region and the regions that perform construction and restoration work. The legislative basis for the proposed scheme of interregional cooperation is the Law on PPP 224-FZ. The proposed scheme assumes the presence of two public partners: the new region and the region-executor of repair and construction works and their joint competition. The organizational form for the implementation of projects in the PPP format is proposed "with an availability fee" or with fixed payments. Within the framework of this article, it is shown that it is possible to attract private investment to carry out repair and restoration work in the NWO area on the basis of the current legislation (Law 224-FZ) on PPP. At the same time, within the framework of the current legislation on PPP, it is possible to activate SMEs and their resources to carry out repair and construction work on the territory of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. The article gives recommendations to the formed teams of workers of small and medium-sized construction businesses on how to take part in these works. The necessary scientific substantiation and practical recommendations on this issue are presented in previously published works.

Published: September 2023

After the global financial and economic crisis of 2008–2009 the process of deglobalization of the world economy and world finance is gaining momentum. Deglobalization, according to the experts from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), can lead to fragmentation of the global monetary and financial system (GMFS) and the formation of various regional and interregional blocs that will create own settlement, payment, trade, investment and other infrastructures to ensure its autonomy and independence. As a result, there may be a serious threat of disruption to global financial stability. The article provides an analysis of the problems associated with the increasing fragmentation of the GMFS, and identifies new opportunities emerging for those countries that were previously dependent on the most developed countries in the world. Based on the analysis of the impact of geopolitical tensions on financial stability and on the cross-border movement of capital, as well as the study of regional features of the impact of geopolitical tensions and financial fragmentation on macro-financial stability, the authors conclude that the current global process means the beginning of another transformation of the world economy. The politicization of public administration associated with deglobalization requires all participants in the world community to review their domestic and foreign policies in order to form new approaches to international cooperation. The fragmentation of the GMFS is likely to be quite painful and will not do without crises of various sizes, associated with the destruction of old ties and the violation of macroeconomic stability. However, this process will lead to the creation of a more sustainable polycentric GMFS and will set conditions for the progressive development of all countries of the world, taking into account their national features and strategic priorities.
PREDIÇÃO DE SOLOS MOLES NO BRASIL: ELABORAÇÃO DE UMA CHAVE DE CLASSIFICAÇÃO
Authors: Santos Leilson Alves dos , Nóbrega Rodrigo Affonso Albuquerque , Costa Adriana Monteiro
Published: September 2023

O conhecimento das características do solo é imprescindível para o planejamento territorial. Embora os solos possuam diversas propriedades que possam levar à sua classificação como solos moles, na prática estes são conhecimentos técnicos, até o momento, tratado restritamente no campo da Geotecnia. Assim, os projetos de infraestrutura, em especial de transporte, com rodovias e ferrovias, tradicionalmente são os grandes demandadores de informações sobre a ocorrência de solos moles, seja pela abrangência geográfica das vias ou pela necessidade de identificação de locais com solos apropriados para receber a infraestrutura viária e o material rodante. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se a elaboração de um mapa preditivo do potencial de ocorrência de solos moles para o Brasil. Para tal realizou-se inicialmente uma revisão bibliográfica a fim de identificar as principais características descritas como de solos moles; seguida da correlação destas com as características físicas, químicas e mineralógicas das classes de solos do Sistema Brasileiro de Classificação de Solos (SiBCS). Elaborou-se então uma chave classificatória para tradução do potencial preditivo de ocorrência de solos moles a partir de dados pedológicos. Para tanto, utilizou-se os mapas de solos do Brasil e do Estado de Goiás, em escalas de 1:5.000.000 e 1:250.000, respectivamente, assim especializou-se o potencial de ocorrência de solos moles para as áreas. A validação dos dados contou com 1.470 pontos amostrais de campo no trecho da ferrovia Norte-Sul no Estado de Goiás entre os municípios de São Simão e Quirinópolis. Como resultados obteve-se duas classes de Potencial de Ocorrência de Solos Moles no território brasileiro: Baixo e Alto Potencial de ocorrência, sendo que a primeira classe engloba os solos com maior estabilidade física, bem drenados, bem desenvolvidos e com baixo teor de minerais primários e ausência de minerais expansivos representados pelos Latossolos, Argissolos, Nitossolos, Planossolos e Plintossolos. Já a segunda classe de Alto Potencial compreende os solos hidromórficos, com alto teor de matéria orgânica, presença de minerais primários do tipo 2:1 e expansivos e os solos arenosos, esta classe agrupa-se os Cambissolos, Chernossolos, Espodossolo, Gleissolos, Luvissolos, Neossolo, Organossolos, Vertissolos. Os resultados demonstram, ainda, que a ponte de conhecimentos entre a Pedologia e a Geotecnia permitiu construir um modelo capaz de prover uma informação preditiva sobre solos moles, que embora limitado à escala do dado, cobre uma importante lacuna até então existente no planejamento de transportes.

O Comunismo, a Esquerda e a Família na Folha Universal no ano eleitoral de 2022
Authors: Almendagna Isadora , Costa Oliveira Fabrício Roberto , Da Silva Leite Deivit Henrique
Published: September 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma análise das edições do jornal “Folha Universal” - mídia física e online da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus – lançadas entre janeiro e outubro de 2022. O foco da análise é o posicionamento político do jornal frente às pautas ligadas ao comunismo, à esquerda e à família, temas muito mobilizados no contexto eleitoral. O estudo, sobretudo dos editoriais e da seção “Panorama”, evidencia a sustentação  de pautas morais alinhadas ao posicionamento político de Jair Bolsonaro, como a defesa da família tradicional cristã e a luta contra a “ideologia de gênero”. Sob o manto da retórica religiosa, a instituição empenhou-se na produção da imagem “diabólica” da esquerda - diametralmente oposta à chamada “direita cristã” -, e divulgou alertas sobre o “risco” da instauração do comunismo no país com a volta de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva e do Partido dos Trabalhadores ao poder. Desta maneira, o pânico moral foi politicamente instrumentalizado e difundido pela IURD, através da Folha Universal, para impulsionar sua “base militante” na defesa da candidatura de Bolsonaro.
A invocação das Musas e o encantamento do mundo
Authors: Dantas Camargo Mello Larissa
Published: September 2023

No vigente artigo, exploramos o papel das Musas na Grécia Antiga como entidades inspiradoras da poesia e, de modo mais abrangente, doadoras do próprio ato criativo. Observaremos os elementos que denotam importância para a atividade poética, ressaltando a questão da relevância das palavras para o grego antigo. As Musas eram reverenciadas como fontes divinas de inspiração, especialmente na poesia. Através de sua influência, os poetas cantavam a cosmogênese e expandiam o horizonte de articulação simbólica das mulheres e dos homens. Na poesia residia, guardado, todo um universo de configurações sociais e culturais. Examina-se, portanto, a relação íntima entre as Musas e os poetas, destacando-se, principalmente, elementos da Teogonia de Hesíodo.

Published: September 2023

Objetivo: Avaliar perfil epidemiológico da cárie dentária aos 12 anos no Estado de São Paulo nas décadas de 80, 90 e 2000. Método: Foi realizada uma busca bibliográfica de estudos de prevalência de cárie aos 12 anos de idade. Após a seleção, os resultados dos estudos foram divididos em três grupos temporais: antes de 1990, entre 1990 e 2000, e após 2000. Foi calculada a mediana dos grupos e aplicado o teste estatístico. Resultados: Pode-se observar uma redução do índice de cárie após 1990, e um segundo declínio após o ano 2000. O primeiro grande declínio do índice de cárie pode ser devido ao fato de as crianças com 12 anos de idade em 1990 terem sido expostas à água fluoretada desde o seu nascimento, uma vez que a implementação desta ocorreu por volta do ano de 1975. Da mesma forma, o segundo grande declínio pode ser devido ao acesso ao dentifrício fluoretado, que se iniciou em 1988. Conclusão: Houve uma mudança do perfil epidemiológico da cárie dentária aos 12 anos no Estado de São Paulo, sugerindo-se que a água fluoretada e os dentifrícios fluoretados tiveram impacto na redução do índice de cárie.

Knowledge Sharing and Service Innovation in Academic Libraries
Authors: Khalil Omar , Khalil Hatem
Published: September 2023

Innovation is becoming a survival strategy for academic libraries, which strive to preserve their relevance and contribution. Knowledge sharing (KS) is believed to be an important factor in creating innovative capabilities and improving innovation. Yet, only scant empirical research has investigated the possible effect of KS on service innovation (SEI). This study adopted a research model to analyze the effect of KS on SEI as well as the mediating effects of information technology innovation (ITI) and management innovation (MIN) on the relationship between KS and SEI. The results are derived using a data set from two large academic libraries in Egypt. Although KS has a significant total effect on SEI, its role in augmenting SEI is only secondary since it depends mainly on the mediating roles of ITI and MIN. These results are interesting because they deviate from the assumptions and results of many previous studies on KS and SEI.

Published: September 2023

The development of new communication technologies enabled the digitalization of the knowledge resources of cultural institutions all over the world and made them available to a wider audience. This was possible through the cooperation of cultural institutions with Wikipedia’s WikiProjects and engagement of the users from numerous countries. It seems important to recognize if this form of cooperation between Wikipedians and institutions is effective and attracts enough participants. The article takes up the subject of the character and effects of this cooperation. The aim of the paper is to study the activity of Wikipedians, including newcomers, in GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) WikiProjects in several language versions of Wikipedia as an open knowledge project. The research questions concerned the characteristics of the activity of Wikipedians in GLAM WikiProjects and the differences between the behaviour of Wikipedians in GLAM WikiProjects in different language versions. The method used in the research is the content analysis, which includes quantitative tools. The author acquired and calculated the data on the activity of GLAM Wikiprojects participants thanks to the Wikipedia xTools tool. The calculations were made on participants of GLAM WikiProjects from five language versions of Wikipedia. The main conclusion from the research is that the results of this kind of organization of work, especially in terms of newcomers, are not satisfactory. The most effective participants are the coordinators of the projects or/and the Wikipedians with the highest seniority. Newly acquired participants most often do not continue their activity for long time. However, there are some differences in different language versions of Wikipedia. English one has better results in retaining and engaging new users. What is interesting is that despite the wide popularization and engagement of the GLAM institutions in the collaboration with Wikipedia, there is a relatively low interest of new Wikipedians in GLAM Wikiprojects. In order to reach a successful cooperation, it is significant to improve the effectiveness of welcoming, engaging, and retaining newcomers in the projects. The results may be of use to the practitioners of the virtual communities of practice which focus on creating and sharing knowledge.

The constant changes in the political, social, and economic scenarios, as well as recent major crises and natural disasters that have affected Santa Catarina, Brazil, and the world, have increased the demand for organisations to provide more resilient responses. Civil Defence organisations are no exception, and they must prioritise the identification and management of critical knowledge to enhance their organisational resilience. In light of this, a case study was carried out in Santa Catarina´s Civil Defence (SCCD), a public government organisation that plays a critical role in the territorial resilience of SC state. The study aimed to evaluate SCCD’s organisational resilience and develop a continuous improvement plan based on critical knowledge. To achieve this, the Resilience Analysis Grid (RAG) was used as a tool to characterise the SCCD’s resilience potential. The analysis showed that the organisation has an appropriate level of resilience potential. However, to identify ways to enhance this potential, it was necessary to analyse critical knowledge for monitoring, anticipating and responding to unexpected events, as well as exploring how SCCD promotes learning in the face of new situations. To do so, a framework was used to analyse critical knowledge to organisational resilience capabilities. This framework was used to present an improvement plan for the organisation's resilience potential, based on the use of techniques and methods for knowledge management. The plan recommended several practical steps that could be taken to enhance the resilience of the SCCD, including the creation of a knowledge management system, the development of training programmes, and the identification and management of critical knowledge. In conclusion, the study highlighted the importance of critical knowledge in enhancing organisational resilience and demonstrated that a continuous improvement plan based on critical knowledge could lead to significant improvements in the resilience of organisations like the SCCD. By following the study's recommendations, organisations can become better equipped to respond to future challenges and maintain their resilience in the face of change and uncertainty.

Published: September 2023

Quality certification programs are internationally recognized processes for externally assessing and improving quality, resolution, and sustainability in healthcare organizations. In these organizations, knowledge is a strategic intangible asset. Concurrently, knowledge management (KM), through its practices and tools, promotes the use of organizational knowledge, and can help transform knowledge into action in the dynamic, systemic, competitive, and demanding environment faced by such organizations. In this context, this study aims to analyze the association between strategic KM practices and the evolution of certified health organizations by measuring the evolution of quality descriptors implemented during participation in the certification program. The research adopts a quantitative approach, with a descriptive-exploratory nature, and follows a cross-sectional design. Presented here are concepts relative to the theme and constructs that support the analysis proposed in this study. For data collection, two instruments were used. The first is related to the evolution of companies participating in a certification program, and the second is a questionnaire designed to identify knowledge management practices developed within the companies. The study was developed in 24 healthcare companies in Brazil that participated in a certification program. The results identify an association between KM practices and the level of evolution of certified healthcare organizations. The companies have in common the incentive to share knowledge in the workplace, as well as providing continuous training opportunities. There is an observed need for organizations to effectively communicate their strategic objectives and develop financial incentives and career development based on knowledge. The results confirm the relationship between KM practices and the evolution of healthcare organizations.
Knowledge Management in Multimedia Communication Using Software Agents
Authors: Kieltyka Leszek
Published: September 2023

This paper presents the problem of knowledge management related to software agents and agent systems (i.e. systems composed of communicating and cooperating software agents). The author presents basic theoretical issues, but the main focus is on the areas of application of software agents in multimedia communication - both existing and prospective applications. Particular attention has been paid to the applications of software agents for: supporting customer service processes through the Contact Centre system; supporting the distance learning system; creating virtual assistants in the form of conversation bots; searching for information in the Semantic Web, and assisting in setting up a video conference call. Software agents are often referred to as 'intelligent' - due to their intelligent behaviour. At their core, they involve: perception, reasoning, learning, communication and operation in complex environments, using all multimedia techniques and procedures. Software agents and agent systems, as presented in this article, represent a new approach to the analysis, design and implementation of complex (usually decentralised and distributed) computer systems, offering a whole range of concepts, techniques and tools to significantly improve the software development process. The ability of software agents to make autonomous decisions have been a subject of considerations. Among other things, they are based on the example of cognitive sciences, which deal with modelling real processes of  information processing in humans and building programmes that imitate these processes. Research on the common understanding of shared knowledge and knowledge management in agent-based systems focuses on ontologies, understood as a description of the relationship between the way knowledge is represented and the concept represented by that knowledge. In contrast, research on knowledge sharing has focused on communication languages and their associated - interaction protocol and message transport protocol.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Investment Management in the Housing Market in Turkey
Authors: Erdogdu Celal , Spica Inese
Published: September 2023

COVID-19 significantly impacted the management of investments in the residential property market. Changes in property demand, shifts in market volatility, financing challenges, changes in property management and changes in local regulations and policies are presented. The pandemic created a more challenging and unpredictable investment management (IM) environment in the residential property market. However, with proper knowledge management (KM) and investment strategies, investors may have opportunities to thrive in this changing market. Investment KM refers to identifying, capturing, organising and sharing information and expertise related to investment activities within an organisation. KM in residential investment involves developing a system for gathering, organising and using information and expertise related to buying, owning, and selling a property. COVID-19 significantly affected the property market. Effective KM in residential investment can help individuals make informed decisions, identify potential risks, and maximise the value of their investment. Like many others worldwide, the Turkish residential market was hit by COVID-19. The Turkish residential market has a few key points: financing, shifts in buyer preferences, and regulation changes. The pandemic hit Turkey's residential property market, leading to property price changes. The Turkish government implemented several residential policies to support the residential market and help individuals and families facing financial challenges due to the pandemic. Those policies did not eliminate the challenges but mitigated some of the negative effects of the pandemic on the market and helped individual investors. This article discusses house price changes in Turkey during the COVID-19 period, the factors affecting price changes, and the property policies that affect property price changes. This article analyses IM challenges and explores how KM can help individual property investors.

Authors: Martins Dora , Alexandre Bruno
Published: September 2023

In this study, the main objective is to understand how the international assignment is related to the acquisition and transfer of knowledge. As specific objectives, we intend to understand the international assignments motivations and to explore how the international assignment can impact the employee's career development. Through an exploratory case study approach, a qualitative research methodology was used to collect data, using a semi-structured interview with a group of stakeholders from an international company (five expatriates and two organisational representatives of expatriations process) in order to answer to the following research questions which factors contribute to the acquisition and transfer of knowledge of expatriates in companies? and how does the acquisition and transfer of knowledge of expatriates in companies take place? The interviews were verbatim transcript and data analysed according to thematic analysis procedures. Our findings show that expatriates are simultaneously agents of knowledge acquisition and knowledge transferring. In addition, expatriates have many high expectations about the useful of their knowledge transferring to home company, specifically in their organisational career evolution and for business innovation and competitiveness. Using the findings, on the one hand international companies can improve human resources system to fit their support practices to needs and expectations of their expatriates after return to home company. On the other hand, the knowledge brought from expatriation, helps organisations at the strategic level through market knowledge and enables the implementation of international innovation human resources policies and practices, contributing to the globalisation of the company. Some conclusions to the contributes to the knowledge management will be highlighted in the last part of the paper.
