LA INTELIGENCIA COMO FACTOR PSICOLÓGICO RELEVANTE EN EL DISEÑO SELECTIVO EN LAS ADMINISTRACIONES PÚBLICAS
Authors: COLOM MARAÑON ROBERTO
Published: December 2024

El estudio científico de la inteligencia ha destacado su papel integrador de factores psicológicos de carácter cognitivo y no-cognitivo. La evidencia revela que es el atributo personal con mayor validez de pronóstico en una heterogénea gama de circunstancias vitales, incluyendo el desempeño laboral. En este artículo se describe y se discute esa evidencia, desde la investigación clásica hasta los avances recientes, para llegar a conclusiones y sugerencias que potencialmente podrían considerarse en el diseño selectivo de las administraciones públicas. Las demandas laborales en el siglo XXI acarrean un incremento de complejidad mental que hace aún más protagonista al intelecto. Los avances y modelos científicos pueden ayudar a mejorar las decisiones de carácter social, pero son las instituciones las que, en último término, deben optar por prestar atención o dejar a un lado los hallazgos de la ciencia.

Adimenaren gaineko azterketa zientifikoan, izaera kognitiboa eta ez-kognitiboa duten faktore psikologikoak integratzeko zeregina nabarmentzen da. Ebidentziak agerian uzten du bizi-egoeren aukera heterogeneo batean, lan-jardunean barne, pronostikoaren baliagarritasun handiena duen ezaugarri pertsonala dela. Artikulu honetan ebidentzia hori deskribatzen eta eztabaidatzen da, ikerketa klasikotik hasi eta oraintsuko aurrerapenetaraino, eta amaieran, administrazio publikoen diseinu selektiboan aintzat har litezkeen ondorioak eta iradokizunak ematen dira. XXI. mendeko lan-eskarietan burua gehiago erabiltzea eskatzen da eta, horrek, adimenari protagonismo gehiago ematen dio. Aurrerapen eta eredu zientifikoek erabaki sozialak hobetzen lagun dezakete, baina erakundeek erabakitzen dute zientziaren aurkikuntzak bereganatuko dituzten edo alde batera utziko dituzten.

The scientific study of intelligence has highlighted its integrative role of cognitive and non-cognitive psychological factors. Evidence reveals that it is the personal attribute with the greatest predictive validity in a heterogeneous range of life circumstances, including work performance. This article describes and discusses this evidence, from classical research to recent advances, to reach conclusions and suggestions that could potentially be considered in the selection design of public administrations. Job demands in the twenty-first century entail an increase in mental complexity that gives the intellect an even more central role. Scientific advances and models can help improve social decisions, but it is the institutions that, ultimately, must choose to pay attention to or neglect the findings of science.

Authors: Llamas Danellie C.
Published: December 2024

This study examines waste management practices among manufacturing companies in Camarines Sur, Philippines, focusing on implementation effectiveness and compliance levels across collection, segregation, transportation, and treatment dimensions. Through quantitative analysis of 29 respondents from manufacturing enterprises and 5 local government units, the research evaluates current practices, challenges, and opportunities for improvement. Government implementation shows varying effectiveness, with collection practices demonstrating the highest implementation (3.159), while treatment practices (2.47) require significant enhancement. Manufacturing companies exhibit moderate compliance across all dimensions (overall mean: 2.821), with collection leading (3.02) and treatment showing the lowest implementation (2.579). Financial constraints emerge as the primary challenge for both government (17 respondents) and manufacturing sectors (19 respondents), followed by technical limitations and negative environmental attitudes. The findings highlight the need for enhanced financial support mechanisms, improved technical infrastructure, and stronger environmental awareness programs. The study recommends implementing standardized protocols, investing in advanced technologies, strengthening regulatory frameworks, and fostering public-private partnerships to achieve sustainable waste management practices aligned with circular economy principles.
Building Resilient Machine Learning Pipelines for Continuous Inference in Real-time Applications
Authors: Bogi Bhageerath
Published: December 2024

Building strong pipelines for real-time data analytics requires the convergence of AI and data engineering. In order to build scalable, effective, and robust data pipelines that enable real-time AI-driven analytics, this paper examines the architecture, technologies, and methodology required. Scalable and flexible deep learning algorithms are essential for fulfilling the ever-increasing needs of large-scale machine learning (ML) systems in the era of big datasets and real-time applications. This study examines the latest advancements in scalable deep learning techniques, paying special emphasis to architectural innovations that enable efficient model training, adaptive learning, and inference over distributed systems. As a result, it works especially well for imaging tissue slides at high resolution over a large field of view. Numerical multi-look has recently been introduced to the traditional phase retrieval procedure to make the optical setup resilient against misalignment-induced artefacts. This allows the removal of associated phase errors, albeit at the expense of a lengthy calculation time. The majority of machine learning models have a noteworthy level of resilience to input fluctuations, according to recent research on interpretable machine learning. This implies that approximation input characteristics may be accommodated by machine learning models with little to no influence on accuracy. In this research, we present Biathlon, a new machine learning serving system that finds the best degree of approximation for each aggregate characteristic by using the intrinsic robustness of models. This method guarantees a constraint on accuracy loss while allowing for maximal speedup. We test Biathlon on actual pipelines from data science contests and business applications, showing that it can exceed real-time latency constraints by attaining 5.3× to 16.6× speedup with almost no loss of accuracy.
Factors Influencing LGU Efficiency and Employee Productivity during COVID-19 Work from Home Arrangements: A Mediation Analysis
Authors: Sagun Tipanero Margarita De
Published: December 2024

The Work from Home (WFH) business model emerged as a crucial strategy for maintaining operational continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic, becoming a common response to outbreaks. In the Philippines, WFH was implemented across both public and private sectors. This study assesses the indicators affecting the effectiveness of local government units (LGUs) in the Partido District, with employee productivity serving as a mediating variable. The analysis focuses on efficiency data and competitiveness pillars at the municipal level, given the localized nature of employee productivity. Results indicate a decline in economic dynamism within the LGUs of Partido, evidenced by reduced business formation rates, lower labor market turnover, and workforce mobility. Infrastructure, including roads and buildings, suffered due to incomplete workforce mobilization during the pandemic. Consequently, the LGUs’ capacity for economic execution diminished, and their resilience in adapting to challenges like COVID-19 also waned. The study concludes that productivity and efficiency were not significantly affected by the competitiveness metrics of economic dynamism, infrastructure, and resilience. It recommends that LGUs in Partido establish strategic and contingency plans to prepare for future pandemics, medical emergencies, or crises that could restrict worker mobility. By implementing these measures, the LGUs can enhance their preparedness and maintain effective performance in challenging situations.

Authors: Opara Maragret Ojiaku , Nsonwu Dr. Modestus C.
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of brain drain on Nigeria’s health sector output from 1990 to 2022. Employing a quantitative approach, the study analyzed secondary data to assess the relationship between brain drain, government health expenditure, net emigration, and death rate (a proxy for health sector output). While prior studies offer valuable insights, gaps remain in evaluating the effectiveness of policy measures and understanding the interplay between push and pull factors using frameworks like the Push and Pull Theory. The study utilized the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to control for potential heterogeneity and co-integration. The findings indicate a significant negative correlation between brain drain and health sector output. To mitigate brain drain and enhance health system sustainability, the study recommends increasing healthcare worker salaries, improving working conditions, and offering career development opportunities. Additionally, bonding agreements, diaspora engagement through telemedicine and knowledge transfer, and increased health budget allocation are proposed as crucial strategies.

Authors: Hasan MD Mehedi , Rayhan Zahir , Mukta Rokeya Tamanna , Faruq Omar
Published: December 2024

The study focuses on how products from emerging markets are sold abroad. According to case studies, companies actively seek out countries with a large Bangladeshi diaspora and hire locals who are familiar with business culture. Manufacturers' globalization is aided by this strategy since it raises their profile and fosters understanding with local buyers. The cultural literature benefits from illuminating the ways in which collectivism and the avoidance of ambiguity promote marketing strategy, trust, and networks. It proposes a modern, people-focused IM approach that is innovation-driven, shaped by customer preferences for food products, and that places an emphasis on the contributions of diaspora. Organizations’ potential use of globalization to access hitherto untapped markets is also explored in the research. Corporations' strategies and methods for penetrating these markets face both opportunities and threats as a result of globalization. The qualitative study looks at characteristics related to international market entrance and global expansion based on previous research. The results demonstrate how businesses may become more globally competitive by adapting to cultural and behavioral differences and selecting the most effective market entrance strategies. The significance of varied commodities, works, and services for international economic activity is shown in this research, which lends credence to globalization and market entrance methods.
Mathematical Fractional Analysis on Blood Casson Fluid in Slip and Small Arteries with the Cholesterol Porosity Effect
Authors: Azmi W. F. W. , Mohamad A. Q. , Jiann L. Y. , Shafie S.
Published: December 2024

Studying human blood flow is crucial in biomedical research to address blood-related disorders. However, experimental studies are costly and time-consuming. Hence, mathematical models have been developed to represent these physical phenomena. Yet, existing models often overlook the slip boundary effect. This study explores an analytical solution for the pulsatile flow of a fractional Casson fluid in a slip cylinder, considering free convection, magnetic fields, and porosity. Employing the Caputo--Fabrizio fractional derivative method, the problem is modelled. Analytical solutions are obtained using Laplace and finite Hankel transforms. Graphical representations illustrate velocity and temperature profiles, emphasizing parameters such as magnetic, Casson, Darcy, fractional, slip, Grashof, and Prandtl numbers. Numerical results for skin friction and Nusselt number are tabulated. The results suggest that enhanced slip velocity amplifies fluid flow, particularly near the cylinder's surface, generating lubrication to alleviate blood-vessel friction and improve blood flow by enabling smoother movement along vessel walls. The fractional-order derivative fluid model is more practical and realistic compared to the classical fluid model due to its memory effect which sudden rise in blood velocity can potentially damage the blood vessel and lead to atherosclerosis. The obtained analytical result can be used to validate the accuracy of the mathematical model obtained by numerical methods.

El Complejo Portuario Seco Cordillerano. Las economías de Mendoza y San Juan en el circuito mercantil región Río de la Plata-Santiago en el reino de Chile a fines del periodo de dominación hispánica
Authors: Sovarzo José
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo busca demostrar cómo desde mediados del siglo XVIII hasta la primera década del siglo XIX, las economías de Mendoza y San Juan se conformaron como un Complejo Portuario Seco cordillerano. Este complejo permitió que ambas ciudades dinamizaran sus economías siendo puertos secos del circuito mercantil terrestre que unía a la región Río de la Plata con Santiago en el reino de Chile y las economías peruanas. De esta manera, este escrito busca abordar a las economías de Mendoza y San Juan desde un punto de vista distinto al acostumbrado análisis económico como productoras de alcoholes. Se intenta demostrar la existencia del Complejo Portuario Seco cordillerano a partir de bibliografía especializada y del trabajo de archivo, mediante el uso de las notas de aduana de Buenos Aires que demuestran la intensidad y densidad de los contactos entre la economía rioplatense y chilena con el mencionado Complejo Portuario.

Entendemos a la correspondencia de Juan Manuel de Rosas como una herramienta de construcción política destinada a la integración de figuras y liderazgos heterogéneos dentro de una amplia comunidad federal de amigos. Examinaremos las estrategias de persuasión empleadas por el caudillo federal, las cuales aparecen cristalizadas en sus intercambios epistolares, haciendo foco en la utilización política de la noción de amistad por parte de Rosas. En los intercambios epistolares se ponen en juego diferentes rasgos que resultaron cruciales en la construcción de su autoridad y que supo aprovechar de manera exitosa: el cálculo político, el manejo de la expectativa, el afecto y la flexibilidad para adecuarse al destinatario.
¿Por qué hay pocas evidencias materiales de los asesinatos de la Patagonia Rebelde? Análisis y reflexiones para la búsqueda de los lugares de matanza
Authors: Zubimendi Miguel Ángel
Published: December 2024

En este trabajo pretendemos avanzar en la discusión de la información con la que contamos para recuperar la localización de los lugares donde ocurrieron muertes vinculadas con los sucesos conocidos como La Patagonia Rebelde. Las estimaciones más confiables cifran entre 1.000 y 1.500 las personas muertas durante la misma, sin embargo, las evidencias materiales son muy escasas. A partir del análisis de diversas fuentes, sistematizamos la ubicación y cantidad de eventos de muertes ocurridas de forma directa e indirecta; las condiciones contextuales de estas; y las características y formas en que ocurrieron. Posteriormente, avanzamos en la definición de los cambios que habrían sufrido estos lugares y los cuerpos de las víctimas, tanto en el corto plazo, como a lo largo de las décadas, hasta nuestros días. De esta forma, esperamos generar un estado de situación que permita a futuro analizarlos por medio de herramientas y técnicas arqueológicas y forenses acordes. Finalmente, creemos que las formas en que se produjeron las matanzas, el contexto en el cual ocurrieron y la imposición de un silencio sobre las víctimas, favorecieron que se perdiera la memoria, aunque hoy en día existen políticas para evocar y no olvidar estos hechos.

Throughout history, Jewish people have long been recognized for their achievements in the world of medical science. For example, prior to the Holocaust, many outstanding physicians in Germany were Jewish. However, even in the 1930s, refugee European Jewish doctors faced significant barriers when they tried to escape and practice elsewhere because of long-standing prejudices and anti-Jewish quotas in medical schools and hospitals around the world. Eventually quotas fell, and the period after World War II once again saw a tremendous growth in numbers of Jews excelling in medicine internationally. Since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, there has been a resurgence of antisemitism worldwide. It is especially noticeable in the world of healthcare. This article evaluates and highlights examples of antisemitism in four countries by authors from each of these jurisdictions.
Recruitment of Authoritarian Individuals into Clientelist Networks: A comparative study of the Western Balkans
Authors:   University of Montenegro Faculty of Political Science, Montenegro, Stankov Nemanja
Published: December 2024

Understanding how brokers choose clients for vote-buying exchange is one of the key issues in explaining the success of these illicit practices. Norm-based theories seek an answer to this question based on individuals’ values and beliefs, which would make them suitable candidates for vote-buying. A recent addition to this literature suggests that there might be a distinct authoritarian feature among the targeted voters. Building on the findings of this study, this paper examines the relationship between authoritarian tendencies and the offer of clientelist exchange in six Western Balkan countries. Overall findings vary significantly across countries: in Montenegro, Serbia, and Albania some associations were found, albeit not all in the theoretically predicted direction. In Bosnia and Hercegovina, Kosovo, and North Macedonia authoritarian tendencies were not related to an offer of clientelist exchange. The results point to a highly contextualized importance of authoritarian tendencies for the success of clientelist exchanges.
Legal Principles of the 1982 PIL Act and Filling the Legal Gaps in the Conflict of Laws Matter in Serbian Private International Law: A different perspective
Authors:   University of Niš Faculty of Law, Serbia, Marjanović Sanja
Published: December 2024

Despite the aspiration to comprehensively regulate legal relations, legislators can hardly avoid the occurrence of legal gaps, which may also arise due to the longevity of a statutory act that can no longer properly keep up with the development of a specific area of law. In Serbian Private International Law, the methods of filling legal gaps are regulated in Article 2 of the 1982 PIL Act, which provides three sets of principles: principles of the Act itself, the principles of the Serbian legal order, and the principles of PIL. However, certain international sources of Serbian PIL have engendered an unusual effect of hierarchical relationship with statutory conflict-of-laws rules, thus generating a different perception of gap-fillers (i.e. nationality principle, weaker party protection). In the paper, the author examines these issues, considering (to some extent) how legal gaps emerge in this branch of law, as well as the limits of characterization.

Authors: Vu Thanh , Balasubramaniam Thirunavukarasu , Nayak Richi , Keretna Sara
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the practical deployment of AI-based Text-to-SQL (T2S) models on a real-world telecommunication dataset, aiming to enhance employee productivity. Our experiment addresses the unique challenges in telecommunication datasets not explored in previous works using annotated datasets. Leveraging advanced retrieval augmented generative (RAG) models like Vanna AI and Llamaindex, we benchmark their performance on synthetic datasets such as SPIDER and BIRD with different LLM backbones and subsequently compare the best-performing model to human performance on our proprietary dataset. We propose the Productivity Gain Index (PGI) to quantify the dual aspects of productivity improvement—time efficiency and accuracy—by comparing AI performance with human analysts across various SQL tasks. Results indicate significant productivity gains, with AI-based tools demonstrating superior query processing and accuracy performance. This prominent gap signals the potential of AI-based tool applications in the actual company domain for improved productivity.

Published: December 2024

The booming of IoT devices has attracted significant interest in data integration platforms that enable seamless utilization and control of sensor data across various applications. However, most existing platforms are centralized structure, aggregating data on specific companies' servers. This centralization raises privacy concerns and imposes limitations on data sharing with third parties. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a decentralized demand-supply matching system for IoT device data distribution using blockchain technology. The paper details the requirements for the entire matching system, including both users and IoT devices, and introduces a system concept alongside a practical implementation. Evaluation experiments conducted on a prototype system demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Authors: Nurul Aini  , Eny Maulita Purnama Sari  , Ahmad Efendi
Published: December 2024

This qualitative study applies a pragmatic approach that investigates the complaining speech act (CSA) used by male and female music teachers based on the substansion of the Solo Song Competition in WhatsApp Group. Data were collected from the utterances of 13 participants using note-taking. The results indicated several findings. First, male music teachers have the highest preference for using the expression of disapproval with annoyance in the substance of after TM. In contrast, female music teachers have the highest preference for using the hint and the blame with explicit blame for person in the substance of before TM. The reason is not only about a high pressure from the school, parents, and students regarding the competitions, but also about dissatisfaction, dislike, and worry with a situation that is perceived as unfair, unprofessional, or harmful. Third, based on the comparison of the result of this study and previous researches reveals that gender influenced the choice of CSA usage. The results revealed that most of the complaints were related to issues regarding the competition regulations after TM. The competition regulations that were highly complained by both male and female music teachers were the inappropriate music instruments for men and women. The results also indicated that most of the complaints were addressed to the coordinator of the competition committee.

Published: December 2024

Linear programming as a discipline is considered as difficult subjects among learners in the Nkeyema District, Western part of Zambia. The 16 math-enrolled secondary school students served as the responders. These respondents were selected using purposive sampling. This study will employ a qualitative research design. Using a qualitative research methodology, this study examines secondary school students’ study habits in linear programming. This design is suitable for the study as it facilitates the gathering of comprehensive data on students’ study lifestyles, which include study habits, time management, learning environments, and peer interactions. Higher levels of understanding and performance on linear programming is influenced by regular study schedules.

Students with bad study habits found it difficult to understand important concepts and performed worse academically. The study emphasizes how important it is for educational institutions to encourage productive study habits to improve students’ performance.

Abstract: This study aims to examine the implementation of the Tahlil for Kids program as a medium for character education at MI Tarbiyatul Wathan Kraksaan Probolinggo. This program is designed to instill core values such as responsibility, discipline, empathy, and respect through the practice of tahlil, adapted to suit young students' understanding. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation. Findings indicate that the Tahlil for Kids program effectively helps students understand and internalize character values through a religious approach that resonates with their local context. However, challenges arise in maintaining students' attention, gaining parental support, managing limited time within the school curriculum, and addressing the diverse religious backgrounds of students. The role of teachers as facilitators and the involvement of parents are crucial factors in the program’s success. These findings can serve as a reference for other schools seeking to integrate character education through religious-based activities relevant to the cultural context of their students.
