Published: August 2023

Bangladesh, a developing country, faces various challenges that hinder its progress. One significant issue is the high crime rate, along with its lower resilience score on the global peace scale compared with other Asian countries. This study investigates the underlying factors that contribute to armed conflict in Bangladesh. Key questions were explored, such as identifying the regions most affected by conflicts, understanding the involvement of different actors in these regions and events, and developing predictive models for fatality rates and future crime based on various related attributes. To address these objectives, machine learning algorithms and clustering techniques were employed in this research. The ACLED[1] Bangladesh dataset, encompassing conflict events from 2010 to 2021, was analyzed to obtain valuable insights. Clustering techniques, specifically k-means and hierarchical clustering, were applied to classify Bangladeshi Divisions and Cities based on shared characteristics. Furthermore, this study investigates the events and actors associated with each cluster to identify hidden factors. Machine learning algorithms are utilized to predict fatality rates by employing various techniques, such as pre-trained models and discretization methods. Finally, the focus shifts towards predicting future crimes by utilizing the Random Forest algorithm, which achieved a 97% accuracy rate. The results of this study demonstrated promising outcomes, with high R2 scores which is Goodness of fit measure, indicating a 99% satisfaction level for predicting fatalities. Overall, this study highlights the potential of machine learning to understand and mitigate conflicts in Bangladesh. It emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and stakeholder engagement in developing context- specific tools for effective conflict analysis and mediation. By leveraging the findings of this study, policymakers and relevant authorities can make informed decisions to address the increasing prevalence of crime and work towards a more peaceful and secure Bangladesh

Published: August 2023

Abstract. Global collections of synthesized flux tower data such as FLUXNET have accelerated scientific progress beyond the eddy covariance community. However, remaining data issues in FLUXNET data pose challenges for users, particularly for multi-site synthesis and modeling activities. Here we present complementary consistency flags (C2F) for flux tower data, which rely on multiple indications of inconsistency among variables, along with a methodology to detect discontinuities in time series. The C2F relates to carbon and energy fluxes as well as to core meteorological variables, and consists of: (1) flags for daily data values, (2) flags for entire site variables, (3) flags at time stamps that mark large discontinuities in the time series. The flagging is primarily based on combining outlier scores from a set of predefined relationships among variables. The methodology to detect break points in the time series is based on a non-parametric test for the difference of distributions of model residuals. Applying C2F to the FLUXNET 2015 dataset reveals that: (1) Among the considered variables, gross primary productivity and ecosystem respiration data were flagged most frequently, in particular during rain pulses under dry and hot conditions. This information is useful for modelling and analysing ecohydrological responses. (2) there are elevated flagging frequencies for radiation variables (shortwave, photosynthetically active, and net). This information can improve the interpretation and modelling of ecosystem fluxes with respect to issues in the driver. (3) The majority of long-term sites show temporal discontinuities in the time series of latent energy, net ecosystem exchange, and radiation variables. This should be useful for carefully assessing the results on interannual variations and trends of ecosystem fluxes. The C2F methodology is flexible for customizing, and allows for varying the desired strictness of consistency. We discuss the limitations of the approach that can present starting points for future improvements.
Continuous synchronization of the Greenland ice-core and U-Th timescales using probabilistic inversion
Authors: Muschitiello Francesco , Aquino-Lopez Marco Antonio
Published: August 2023

Abstract. This study presents the first continuously measured transfer function that quantifies the age difference between the Greenland Ice-Core Chronology 2005 (GICC05) and the U-Th timescale during the last glacial period. The transfer function was estimated using an automated algorithm for Bayesian inversion that allows inferring a continuous and objective synchronization between Greenland ice-core and East Asia Summer Monsoon speleothem data. The algorithm is based on an alignment model that considers prior knowledge on the GICC05 counting error, but also samples synchronization scenarios that exceed the differential dating uncertainty of the annual-layer count in ice cores, which are currently not detectable using conventional alignments techniques. The transfer function is on average 52 % more precise than previous estimates and significantly reduces the absolute dating uncertainty of the GICC05 back to 48 kyr ago. The results reveal that GICCC05 is, on average, systematically younger than the U-Th timescale by 0.97 %. However, they also highlight that the annual-layer counting error is not strictly correlated over extended periods of time, and that within the coldest Greenland Stadials the differential dating uncertainty is likely underestimated by ~10–15 %. Importantly, the analysis implies for the first time that during the Last Glacial Maximum GICC05 overcounts ice layers by ~15 % –a bias attributable to a higher frequency of sub-annual layers due to changes in the seasonal cycle of precipitation and mode of dust deposition to the Greenland Ice Sheet. The new timescale transfer function provides important constraints on the uncertainty surrounding the stratigraphic dating of the Greenland age-scale and enables an improved chronological integration of ice cores, U-Th-dated and radiocarbon-dated paleoclimate records on a common timeline. The transfer function is available as supplements to this study.
Water Vapor Exchange between Atmospheric Boundary Layer and Free Troposphere over Eastern China: Seasonal Characteristics and ENSO Anomaly

Published: August 2023

Abstract. This study develops a quantitative climatology of water vapor exchange between the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and free troposphere (FT) over Eastern China. The exchange flux is estimated for January, April, July, and October over 7 years (2011 and 2014–2019) based on a water vapor budget equation using simulated meteorological data. The spatial pattern of the ABL-FT water vapor exchange flux is closely related to the topographic distribution. The seasonal variation shows that the water vapor exchange in the northern region is downward in January and October with the flux being 37 %–72 % of the surface evaporation to maintain the ABL moisture, while it is weak upward in April and July; the southern region presents persistently water vapor output from the ABL to the FT, with the ratio of exchange flux to surface evaporation increasing from 10 % in January and October to 60 %–80 % in April and July. Three physical processes determine the total water vapor exchange, among which the ABL diurnal variation drives large magnitude exchange flux within the one-day cycle, but for the net monthly mean flux, the vertical motion at the ABL top is the main contributor. The anomaly of water vapor exchange in ENSO years illustrates triple antiphase distribution: strengthening in the middle area and weakening in the north and south zones of Eastern China in La Niña year, and vice versa in El Niño year. It agrees with the spatial pattern of anomalous precipitation, implying the crucial role of ABL-FT water vapor exchange in atmospheric water cycle.

Abstract. To investigate regional and temporal variations in the sources and atmospheric transport processes for mineral dust deposited on the Greenland Ice Sheet, we analysed the morphology and mineral composition of dust in an ice core from northeastern Greenland (East Greenland Ice-Core Project, EGRIP), representing the period from 1910 to 2013, using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and compared the results with those previously obtained for an ice core from northwestern Greenland (SIGMA-D). The composition of the SIGMA-D ice-core dust, comprising mostly silicate minerals, varied on a multi-decadal timescale due to an increased contribution of minerals originating from local ice-free areas during recent warming periods. In contrast, for the EGRIP ice-core dust, also consisting mostly of silicate minerals, there was relatively low compositional variation among the samples, suggesting that the mineral sources have not changed dramatically over the past 100 years. The subtle variation in the EGRIP ice-core mineral composition is likely due to a minor contribution of local dust. The type of silicate minerals differed significantly between the two ice cores; micas and chlorite, which form in cold dry regions, were abundant in the EGRIP ice core, whereas kaolinite, which forms in warm humid regions, was abundant in the SIGMA-D ice core. This indicates that the EGRIP ice-core dust likely originated from different geological sources than those for the SIGMA-D dust. A back-trajectory analysis indicated that the ice-core dust was transported from Northern Eurasia and North America to the EGRIP site, and that the contribution from each source was likely smaller and larger, respectively, than those for the SIGMA-D ice core. Furthermore, the higher illite content in the EGRIP ice core suggests dust transportation from Asian deserts. Although the back-trajectory analysis suggests that most of the air mass that arrived at the EGRIP site came from the Greenland coast, the mineral grain size and composition results showed that the local dust contribution was likely small.
AI-derived 3D cloud tomography from geostationary 2D satellite data
Authors: Brüning Sarah , Niebler Stefan , Tost Holger
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Satellite instruments provide spatially extended data with a high temporal resolution on almost global scales. However, nowadays, it is still a challenge to extract fully three-dimensional data from the current generation of satellite instruments, which either provide horizontal patterns or vertical profiles along the orbit track. Following this, we train a neural network in this study to generate three-dimensional cloud structures from MSG SEVIRI satellite data in high spatio-temporal resolution. We evaluate the derived artificial intelligence-based predictions against the along-track radar reflectivity from the CloudSat satellite. By inferring the pixel-wise cloud column to the satellite’s full disk, our results emphasize that spatio-temporal dynamics can be delineated for the whole domain. Robust reflectivities are derived for different cloud types with a clear distinction regarding the cloud's intensity, height, and shape. Cloud-free pixels tend to be over-represented because of the high imbalance between cloudy and clear-sky samples. The average error (RMSE) spans about 7.5 % (3.41 dBZ) of the total value range enabling the advanced analysis of vertical cloud properties. Although we receive high accordance between radar data and our predictions, the quality of the results varies with the complexity of the cloud structure. The representation of multi-level and mesoscale clouds is often simplified. Despite current limitations, the obtained results can help close current data gaps and exhibit the potential to be applied to various climate science questions, like the further investigation of deep convection through time and space.
Surrogate model-based precipitation tuning for CAM5
Authors: Wu Xianwei , Hu Liang , Wang Lanning , Lu Haitian , Zheng Juepeng
Published: August 2023

Abstract. The uncertainty of physical parameters is a major reason for a poor precipitation simulation performance in Earth system models (ESMs), especially over the tropical and Pacific regions. Although tuning related parameters can help reduce such uncertainty factors, repetitive runs of ESMs incur large computational costs. While surrogate models can reduce the computational costs in many tuning scenarios, building an effective surrogate model for the community atmospheric model (CAM) is a complex integration of many processes, which is an unresolved challenge due to its strong nonlinear behaviors. In this study, we present a surrogate model-based parameter tuning framework for the CAM and apply it to improve the CAM5 precipitation performance. We propose a multilevel surrogate model-based optimization method. First, a global-level surrogate model is constructed with a gradient boosting regression tree (GBRT), which has been proven, through cross-validation experiments, to have a more significant effect than other methods. The candidate point approach (CAND) is applied to balance exploration and exploitation to obtain better values for establishing a local-level surrogate model. A local-level surrogate model is then constructed based on a much smaller number of chosen points. We design a trust region approach to adjust the sampling region during the tuning process. This proposed method has a faster convergence speed and higher accuracy during the tuning process. We attempt a region-based optimization method to improve the CAM simulation results over some areas with large errors. The results show that the surrogate model-based optimization method can significantly improve the simulation performance of the CAM model. The average improvement of the selected regions is 19 %. To integrate the optimization results of these regions, we design a nonuniform parameter parameterization scheme and integrate the parameters using a parameter smoothing scheme, and the experimental results improve in four regions. These experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method improves the precipitation simulation of the CAM model.

The aim of this study is to examine the basic elements of the dynamics formed by the education culture. Criteria when evaluating organizational members, events, situations and values in the organization. These criteria express values. Organizational principles of good-bad, right-wrong are proportional to values. Organizational distinctions express the values of common thoughts and beliefs about what to do and what not to do. There may be values such as protection, savings, hard work, obeying the rules, and honesty in organizations. The organization creates the norms of behavior rules and criteria that it accepts by developing discrimination. Norms are also expressed as rules that are expected to comply with organizational rules. In case of non-compliance with the rules of the non-organizational organization, the sanctions are again determined by the norms. Norms, which contain more concrete expressions than values, guide people. The norms accepted by the organization's foreign rules are generally accepted by unwritten amateur organization members. General beliefs in organizations have an important room in achieving organizational goals. It is the beliefs at the beginning of the abstract elements that are not easy to direct and change the members of the organization. Beliefs are one of the factors that benefit from organizations. Beliefs provide incomplete integration by being a source of values. Hostility, loyalty, and similar beliefs outside the organization make the organization strong. Symbols can show concrete expressions such as clothes, objects, logos, flags or abstract expressions such as the chairman of the board of directors, the general manager in the life of the organization. The first areas where organizational culture will be seen in an organization are symbols. They are also areas of first impressions about organizations. It is also used to consider status within the group of symbols. The physical planning in the organizations, the layout of the office, the structure of the office show the distribution of power within the furniture organizations.

Sports Data Analysis by using Bivariate Poisson Models in the
Bayesian Framework
Authors: Shahin Sabina
Published: August 2023

Bivariate distribution models are commonly used to analyze sports data and data from various fields. These models are used to analyze discrete count data with two dependent variables in the data. In this research article, we have used Bivariate Poisson and Diagonally Inflated Bivariate Poisson regression models. We have proposed an estimation procedure in the Bayesian framework in conjunction with the augmentation of data. For parameter estimation, we use Gaussian priors and beta priors for both models. To illustrate the fitting performances of our suggested models we have performed real data analysis on English Premier League soccer data.
A Graphical Method for Analysing Chronological Patterns of Coin Sets / Graficzna metoda analizy profili chronologicznych zestawów monet
Authors: Dymowski Arkadiusz
Published: August 2023

This paper presents a graphical method for analysing chronological patterns which can be successfully applied to coin sets (e.g. hoards) containing specimens dated within multiple, overlapping timespans of up to several dozen years. The timespans are considered rounded up to full years, i.e. the shortest timespan would be 1 year, while the longer ones could cover several, a dozen or more years. This works well, for example, with Roman coins from the Imperial period, or with some categories of medieval or modern European coinage. The method is based on a simple mathematical model and the values calculated for each year are presented in a graphical form (as values of a discrete function spread on a timeline) to show the chronological distribution of coins in percentage terms. Such distributions make sets of coins easy to compare. The method is much less effective when applied to precisely dated coins (e.g. with an accuracy of one year), like Roman coins from the Republican period, or certain categories of early medieval Islamic coins.

In vivo lung morphometry with hyperpolarised xenon-129 lung MRI
Authors: Chan Ho-Fung
Published: August 2023

The use of hyperpolarised noble gases, such as xenon-129 (^129Xe), as inhaled MRI contrast agents can provide novel information about the function and microstructure of the lungs. Hyperpolarised ^129Xe lung MRI has great potential as a non-ionising radiation clinical tool for early detection and understanding lung disease pathophysiology. I recently returned to the Auckland Bioengineering Institute after 8 years at the University of Sheffield where I developed new techniques for measuring lung microstructure or morphometry *in vivo* with ^129Xe diffusion-weighted MRI. ^129Xe lung morphometry is now being used in a diagnostic clinical setting for patients with a range of pulmonary diseases. In this talk I will cover some basics of hyperpolarised ^129Xe lung MRI, the acquisition and analysis techniques used for ^129Xe lung morphometry, highlight some novel clinical studies using this technique, and discuss the potential opportunities for lung MRI in New Zealand.

Hybridisation with domestic species is one of the prominent threats to conser-vation of numerous valuable species in Belarus, in particular the grey wolf (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758), the population of which has previously shown unusually divergent genotypes, indicating a possible admixture with free-ranging dogs (Canis lupus familiaris Linnaeus, 1758). Such admixture could threaten the future of the species already weakened by anthropogenic pressure. Reports of hybrids in Belarus based on morphological characteristics have been steadily increasing in frequency since 2010, which can be tied with a growing food availability for feral dogs and low population density of grey wolf facili-tating hybridisation. A limited number of genetic studies with sampling that partially covered Belarus did not detect any traces of hybridisation. Here we report our estimate of genetic diversity in the Belarusian population of grey wolf according to control region (D-loop) mtDNA sequence analysis. We ana-lysed tissue samples from 35 specimens harvested during legal hunts across 25 administrative districts from all 6 regions of Belarus between 2009 and 2022, with 9 of the specimens reported to have morphological characteristics of wolf–dog hybrids. We detected 6 haplotypes among those 35 specimens, 4 of which were found among the likely wolf–dog hybrids. Clade analysis of the obtained sequences with 100 confirmed sequences of wolves, dogs, and their hybrids from the NCBI Genbank database has shown the presence of possible wolf–dog hybrids in our sample. The Belarusian wolf population has shown a low nucleotide and a relatively high haplotype diversity. The discovered genet-ic diversity data of the Belarusian wolf population is mostly in line with studies of similar wolf populations across Europe. The persistence of large wolf meta-populations across Eastern Europe and Russia, combined with the high mobility of the animal, seems to be the probable cause of genetic diversity of wolf populations in Belarus, but some degree of wolf–dog hybridisation could also explain the observed genetic heterogeneity, which invites further research based on nuclear markers.

Con la pandemia de la COVID-19 el uso de las tecnologías digitales se ha visto necesariamente incrementado en el sistema educativo. Y en este campo, no se ha dejado en los últimos años de seguir investigando de cómo estas tecnologías pueden ayudar con su implementación a la mejora de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje del alumnado. Sin embargo, todavía hoy existe mucha controversia acerca de si se producen diferencias entre las motivaciones e intereses de hombres y mujeres acerca de las TIC. Para tratar de ver si existe esta diferencia o no, se llevó a cabo una investigación con 55 estudiantes de postgrado, en la asignatura de “Investigación en Tecnología Digital Aplicada a la Educación” en un máster de investigación educativa de la Universidad de Alicante, España. Se utilizó una metodología descriptiva de índole cuantitativa, en la que se analizaron los trabajos finales de la asignatura de los estudiantes (39 mujeres y 16 hombres), tipo de investigación y temática de esta. Salvo pequeñas diferencias en algunas de las temáticas escogidas, no se encontraron diferencias significativas. Por ello, sirva esta investigación para desmitificar la creencia de que las tecnologías digitales son para hombres y para abrir nuevas vías de convergencia y estudio sobre este tema.

La educación superior, como espacio de reproducción de múltiples desigualdades relacionadas con el conocimiento que generan violencias contra las mujeres y cuerpos feminizados, requiere respuestas estructurales. La Agenda 2030 de las Naciones Unidas, establecida en 2015, ha identificado elementos clave, como la incorporación del Programa Mundial para la Educación en atención al Desarrollo Sostenible, con el propósito de influir en la formación de los estudiantes a través del pensamiento crítico y su conexión con los contextos en los que están inmersos. El objetivo de este trabajo es integrar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 4 (educación de calidad), 5 (igualdad de género) y 10 (reducción de las desigualdades) en el diseño del curso con formato MOOC "Saberes y prácticas feministas en experiencias de integración curricular", dirigido a docentes de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba y la Universidad Nacional de San Juan en Argentina. El propósito es construir conocimiento en torno a la implementación de perspectivas feministas en las prácticas educativas universitarias. En este trabajo, se mostrarán las estrategias desarrolladas en el Diseño Curricular para abordar los desafíos pedagógicos y políticos como parte del proceso de planificación metodológica centrada en objetivos de aprendizaje, competencias y contenidos específicos desde una perspectiva feminista.

Objective: Healthcare student expectation and experience of professional training is likely to impact retention on their chosen programme. Understanding the experience of healthcare students is essential to support programme completion and ensure a future workforce with sufficient staff. The objectives of this study were to: (1) investigate the similarities and differences between undergraduate nursing and radiotherapy students’ expectations and experiences of the first year of their programme through pictorial data, and (2) develop a process of interpreting pictorial data for student evaluation. Methods: With written consent, students participating in nursing (n=31) and radiotherapy (n=22) completed a pictorial data collection tool on commencement and completion of year one. Data were analyzed using an adapted thematic content analysis. Independent data analysis, use of an audit trail and a reflective approach ensured a rigorous process. Results: Three themes were identified: professional identity, expectation of workload, and confidence. The students in both cohorts indicated an expectation that they would complete their studies, demonstrating a growing understanding of their profession over the first year of their studies, alongside a high workload. Nursing students indicated pride associated with being a nurse that was evident at the start and end of their first year of training. They experienced fatigue and lacked time to spend in activities other than studying and sleeping. Radiotherapy students indicated a better work-life balance. Conclusion: Informed by the findings, recommendations for healthcare programmes are made. Pictorial data were found to be quick, accessible, and inexpensive to collect and analyse. Impact of the visual data was powerful, giving novel insights into student expectation and experience. Pictorial data may provide a valuable complement to traditional methods of evaluation in healthcare education.
Operational and Infrastructure Readiness for Semi-Automated Truck Platoons on Rural Roads

On highways, truck platooning may reduce fuel consumption, improve road safety and streamline trucking operations. However, most roads worldwide are two-way, two-lane rural roads, i.e., conditions for which truck platooning should be tested to explore the extent of those advantages. This paper reports findings from a field study undertaken in Northern Norway, testing a platoon of three semi-automated trucks on rural roads with tunnels, mountain passes and adverse geometries. Fleet management and distance data, videos, interviews and conversations between participants were used to assess whether platooning was feasible on such roads. The platooning system was used without interventions through most road conditions, and worked well on flat and wide roads with 90 km/h speed limits. However, it struggled in sharp horizontal curves, where the following trucks would speed up before regaining connection to their preceding truck and then brake abruptly to regain the prescribed distance. Moreover, steep uphills were problematic due to inconsistent gear shifting between the trucks. Seemingly, no fuel savings were achieved, due to excessive following distances and suboptimal speed profiles on crest curves. To obtain further insights into the benefits of truck platooning on rural roads, we suggest redoing the field study with V2V-communication, allowing for shorter following distances, and also performing a manual-driven baseline first.
Fortællinger om cykling: Sprogets indvirkning på adfærd og udvikling på cykelstien
Authors: Nygaard Christensen Ida Marie
Published: August 2023

Selvom Danmark er kendt som et af verdens bedste cykellande, har cykeltrafikken herhjemme generelt været dalende siden 90’erne (Vejdirektoratet, 2023). 2022 var Cyklens År, mange initiativer blev udrullet, Tour de Francé startede i Danmark og touren blev vundet af en dansker. Men var det nok til at vende 30 års trist udvikling?Specialeafhandlingen How words matter in Danish cycling development foreslår, at en del af årsagen til den triste cykeludvikling kan tildeles måden, hvorpå der tales om cykling i Danmark. Specialets udgangspunkt er, at mobilitetsforskning rummer mere end tilbagelagt afstand, og undersøger derfor hvordan sociologiske faktorer, såsom sproget, kan være dagsordenssættende for cykeludviklingen i Danmark.Specialet konkluderer, at vi i Danmark er eksponeret for fortællinger om cykling, der smitter af på vores hverdagspraksis og adfærd på aktør- såvel som individniveau. Det konkluderes ligeledes, at hvis denne italesættelse af cykling ikke ændrer sig, kan vi udrulle nok så mange initiativer, men det kan det blive svært at bryde ud af de vante rammer og lave nye praksisser og politiker, der reelt kan ændre de rammer, vi som planlæggere, politikere og ikke mindst cyklister skal handle indenfor. Endelig foreslår specialet, at nye fortællinger kan være med til at vende denne udvikling, men at dette kræver en skærpet indsats særligt hos de stemmer, der infiltrerer hverdagslivet. Denne artikel fremhæver specialets metodiske tilgange og teoretiske grundlag samt analysens væsentligste resultater. Herudover udpeger artiklen vigtige emner for fremtidig forskning og diskussion, samt forslag til, hvordan forvaltninger aktivt kan arbejde med sprog i kommunikation om byen og planlægning.
Индивидуально-психологические факторы готовности сотрудников к организационным изменениям, связанным с цифровой трансформацией

Published: August 2023

В статье представлены результаты исследования, проведенного в финансовой организации, находящейся в процессе цифровой трансформации. Цель исследования – выявление индивидуально-психологических факторов готовности к организационным изменениям, связанным с цифровой трансформацией. В статье раскрывается понятие готовности к организационным изменениям (ГОИ) и цифровой трансформации приводится классификация этапов цифровой трансформации организации. Среди индивидуально-психологических факторов готовности к организационным изменениям выделены: психологическое благополучие, организационный стресс, вовлеченность, и удовлетворенность работой. В выборку вошли 249 сотрудников организации, занимающих различные должности. Методы исследования: 1) методика «Готовность к организационным изменениям» (ГОИ) Д. Холта в переводе и адаптации Е.А. Наумцевой; 2) Шкала вовлеченности в работу UWES «Утрехтская шкала вовлеченности» Шауфели и Баккера; 3) Шкала организационного стресса (ШОС) Маклина в адаптации Водопьяновой; 4) Шкала субъективного благополучия (ШСБ) Перруде-Баду, Мендельсон и Шиш, адаптация М.В, Соколовой; 5) методика «Удовлетворенность трудом» Верещагиной Л.А. Результаты исследования показали наличие слабой, но значимой положительной связи ГОИ с общей вовлеченностью и ее параметрами (энергичностью, энтузиазмом, поглощенностью деятельностью), психологическим благополучием и позицией (рангом) в организации. Обнаружена также слабая статистически значимая обратная связь ГОИ с удовлетворенностью трудом. Наиболее значимым предиктором ГОИ оказались энергичность, энтузиазм и позиция сотрудника в организации. В результате кластерного анализа выделились три группы сотрудников, имеющих разные характеристики ГОИ и комплекс индивидуально-психологических качеств: «руководители», «молодые сотрудники» и «старшие женщины». Результаты исследования могут быть использованы в организационном консультировании по проблемам готовности к организационным изменениям, связанным с цифровой трансформацией.
