Published: August 2024

This study explores the impact of AI-based learning versus traditional methods on continuous learning and skill development in the workplace. It aims to understand how these approaches affect employee training and development, considering both their strengths and weaknesses. AI-based learning, characterized by its personalized and scalable nature, provides on-demand access to tailored educational content, which enhances engagement and allows for continuous learning. However, it also faces challenges related to content quality, and limited focus on soft skills development. In contrast, traditional methods offer valuable benefits such as structured learning paths, hands-on training, and social interaction, which are crucial for developing practical and interpersonal skills. Despite their advantages, traditional methods struggle with flexibility, personalization, and scalability. The findings suggest a hybrid approach that integrates AI’s personalization and accessibility with the interactive and practical aspects of traditional methods. This blended strategy can address the diverse learning needs of employees and ensure comprehensive skill development. Recommendations include implementing hybrid learning models, ensuring content quality, providing continuous feedback, and maintaining flexibility in training delivery. The study provides insights into optimizing learning strategies by combining the strengths of both AI-based and traditional learning approaches to enhance overall effectiveness in employee training and continuous development.

The commercialization of tissue engineered medical products: Challenges and recommendations
Authors: Samuel Yusuf  , Edward Hay  , Emily Sansoucy
Published: August 2024

Tissue engineering merges engineering and life sciences to create biological constructs that restore or enhance tissue function. Since its inception in 1993, it has drawn significant interest for its potential to address donor tissue shortages and overcome limitations of mechanical replacements. Tissue engineering utilizes two main approaches: in situ regeneration with cell-free matrices and in vitro growth with cell-seeded matrices. Despite progress, the commercialization of tissue-engineered medical products (TEMPs) lags behind other biomedical innovations like cell and gene therapies. A literature review was conducted to analyze challenges in FDA regulations, funding, manufacturing, and storage for TEMPs. Key issues identified include regulatory hurdles, manufacturing limitations, and preservation challenges. The FDA's unclear classification of tissue-engineered products creates legal barriers, while high costs and specialized processes hinder manufacturing scalability. Additionally, current storage technologies and the need for rapid sterility testing complicate tissue preservation and distribution. To overcome these challenges, the paper recommends companies collaborate with the FDA, clearly define product benefits, and reference similar approved products. For funding and manufacturing, securing investments, early automation collaboration, and planning for large-scale production are essential. Early selection of hypothermic or cryogenic preservation methods is also crucial for maintaining tissue viability. In conclusion, the paper consolidates current strategies, challenges, and recommendations for advancing tissue engineering.
Automating the design process for smart building technologies
Authors: Ruchit Parekh
Published: August 2024

Smart buildings are emerging as complex cyber-physical systems that aim to provide safe, comfortable, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing environments. However, traditional design methods are becoming inefficient due to increasing functional complexity, cost pressures, and market demands. This paper introduces a platform-based design (PBD) methodology for smart buildings. PBD promotes hardware and software reuse on shared infrastructures, enables rapid prototyping, and facilitates extensive design space exploration to optimize performance. We identify, abstract, and formalize key components of smart buildings, presenting a design flow that transforms high-level functional specifications into physical implementations within the PBD framework. To demonstrate the practical application of this approach, we present a case study on the design of an occupancy-responsive heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.

Introduction: Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) is the main adrenal androgen produced by the adrenal cortex and also acts as a neurosteroid. DHEA-S is an excellent indicator of adrenal androgen production. Although DHEA-S has low androgenic potency, it metabolizes into more potent male hormones such as testosterone and androstenedione. Objectives: This work describes the verification/validation procedure for the biological parameter dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S). This procedure is one of the main and constant concerns of biologists in quality management, aiming to produce fair and reliable measurements. Based on the recommendations of the protocol from the technical guide for accreditation in human health, SH GTA of COFRAC according to ISO 15189, we performed the verification of a microparticle immunoassay method by chemiluminescence (CMIA) for the quantitative determination of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in human serum and plasma on the Architect system. Results and Discussion: The verification of criteria (repeatability, reproducibility) was conducted using routine samples from patients hospitalized at the university hospital and internal and external quality controls. The study of analytical performance showed the conformity of repeatability with the supplier’s coefficients of variation (CVs) and data from learned societies (RICOS). The results obtained for intra-laboratory reproducibility were satisfactory for level 1 with a CV of 7.85% and quite satisfactory for levels 2 and 3 with a CV of 4.63% and 4.26%, respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, the automated system can be considered suitable for medical laboratories due to its analytical performance in the determination of common biochemical parameters. In addition to laboratory staff, equipment, and environmental factors, the accuracy and reliability of results obtained during an examination are also influenced by the methods and any subsequent validation or verification.

Power of Gono-Gini in The Formation of Political Dynasty: Family Party Power in 2020 Simultaneous Regional Elections
Authors: Syauket Amalia , Lestiyani Tri Endah Karya
Published: August 2024

There are 29 of the 57 women running for the 2020 simultaneous regional elections who are the wives of previous regional heads. Thus, in the fourth episode of the simultaneous regional elections, the same problems as the previous simultaneous regional elections, namely the pragmatism of political parties in recruitment, ultimately fostered political dynasties at the local level. The political dynasty model which makes the wife the regional head has developed in several regions with the same pattern, namely that all of them are wives where the husband is the regional head who has served for two consecutive terms. The practice of administering government is likened to the joint power of husband and wife, passed down from generation to generation as if it were a family institution or private institution. This phenomenological type qualitative research aims to find out what is the main purpose of nominating his wife in the regional head election after her husband's period of service is over? and in what route does the wife become a candidate for regional head so that a political dynasty is formed? The results of this academic research show that in the process of forming a political dynasty by design, in the third stage, the wife is promoted to the regional head candidacy, with the main aim of maintaining power and wealth. Novelty: the strength of masculinity in government means that wives are exploited to maintain power and wealth in the formation of political dynasties.

Published: August 2024

Upaya untuk menemukan Tuhan dilakukan oleh manusia, beberapa di antaranya benar-benar menemukan Tuhan tetapi juga banyak dari mereka yang tersesat di hutan Metafisika. Pembahasan filsafat dan agama memang demikian adanya sangat menarik, bahkan banyak filosofi yang dibahas tentang mereka, mulai dari kontra sampai ingin bergabung dengan keduanya. Dalam hal ini kontribusi filsafat dan ilmu pengetahuan berjalan beriringan iman kepada Tuhan, dalam batas-batas tertentu dapat bertahan berbeda bukti kebenaran tentang keberadaan dan kekuasaan Tuhan, yang sebagian besar diungkapkan oleh agama. Syari'at adalah hukum Allah, yaitu tidak hanya legal tetapi tidak dapat diikuti oleh penalaran filosofis.
Islam datang dengan membawa ajaran, untuk menjadi model bagi masyarakat. Tentunya Syari'at menjadi sarana untuk menghadap Tuhan. Sains dan filsafat dapat bergerak dan berkembang melalui jiwa manusia dan kehadiran persuasif. Sains, filsafat, atau agama setidaknya bertujuan untuk itu dan diperlakukan sama. Namun, pandangan tersebut terdapat perbedaan yakni pada sumbernya, ilmu dan filsafat berasal dari ra'yu (jiwa manusia) sedangkan agama berakar pada wahyu. Sains mencari kebenaran melalui penelitian, pengalaman (eksperimen) dan eksperimentasi sebagai ujian. Filsafat mendekati kebenaran dengan menemukan kesamaan makna radikal (berakar), dia tidak merasa terikat oleh apapun, kecuali oleh mereka yang benar logikanya. Manusia mencari dan menemukan kebenaran tentang agama dengan mengajukan pertanyaan atau menulis tentang berbagai masalah manusia itu sendiri.

RECENT TRENDS AND LEARNINGS FOR ECOMMERCE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT FROM A QUALITY PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Daiya Viral Narendra
Published: August 2024

The aim of this paper was to conduct a systematic review of the newly emerging research on e-commerce, and synthesise any learnings for e-commerce system development from a quality perspective. A systematic review was conducted using Google Scholar and 39 shortlisted papers were reviewed. The results of the review found the following: The e-commerce industry’s rapid growth in 2020 cannot be ignored. Demand for various types of products rose as situational requirements changed and varied among countries. Some countries could not implement e-commerce effectively due to lack of trust and confidence of customers on online transactions and weak laws and regulations to protect them. Some theories like Maslow' hierarchical needs and Ajzen’s planned reasoned action and planned behaviour may apply to customer intentions for online purchase as a few results indicate. On the supplier side, various digital technologies to facilitate the display of products, information regarding safety, e-ordering, and payment methods have been used, and new methods are being tested. International organisations like WHO, World Bank, EU and international consultancy agencies like McKinsey have released reports and guidelines in this respect. One firm belief is that the new normal in all aspects of work and life set by the pandemic will continue even after the threat is over. The implications of this research from the perspective of the quality of e-commerce system development are that the system will need to exhibit the following characteristics: gain the trust and confidence of customers by aligning the system with the best practices in online transactions; use suitable digital technologies to facilitate the display of products, information regarding safety, e-ordering, and payment; and ensure there is sufficient supply of the products offered.

The system's power delivery and quality are enhanced using AI technology, particularly neural networks employed in an innovative eye-based control technique. By integrating energy storage systems (ESS) and employing advanced AI-based control methods, the power quality of the hybrid RES system is significantly improved. This improvement, characterized by reduced voltage and frequency stress, enables the system to operate reliably across various weather conditions, thus ensuring consistent and dependable power supply. Standalone hybrid renewable energy systems, combining solar, wind, and energy storage devices, offer a viable solution for delivering safe and reliable power in rural areas. However, challenges such as voltage swings and harmonic distortion may arise due to the erratic nature of renewable energy sources. In this study, an AI-driven approach is proposed to address these challenges. The system predicts the output power of solar and wind systems using techniques like artificial neural networks (ANN) and fuzzy logic (FL), enabling the energy storage system to balance power generation and consumption based on anticipated values. This dynamic adjustment of output power to match load demand enhances power quality. To ensure the accuracy of prediction models and optimize system effectiveness, a real-time monitoring system is implemented. MATLAB/Simulink simulations validate the proposed approach, demonstrating significant improvements in power quality metrics such as total harmonic distortion (THD) reduction and power factor (PF) enhancement. Additionally, the proposed technique maintains a consistent power output across varying weather conditions, thereby enhancing system reliability.
