Why do Students not Choose to Study Information Systems? A Survey Study in Norway
Authors: Acilar Ali , Sæbø Øystein
Published: June 2022

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore why students do not choose to study In-formation Systems.
Background Demand for information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) employees and managers has been increased, with the widespread use of information technologies. IT skills shortage is a concern for industries and higher education institutions. The findings of this study can help understanding why students do not choose to study Information Systems.

Methodology: This study used an online survey for data collection. The survey link was emailed to 609 undergraduate students at the University of Agder in Kristian-sand, Norway. 62 useable responses were used for analysis. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and t-test were used for data analysis.

Contribution: This study provides the results of a survey exploring why students do not choose to study Information Systems at a Norwegian university.

Findings: The most indicated reason by the respondents for not choosing to study Information Systems was “little or no knowledge about IS”, followed by “lack of interest in the IS field.” Job availability was identified as the most motivating factor for the participant students in choosing to study their pro-grams at the university. The participants of this study did not consider In-formation Systems as easy to study.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Candidate students should be given sufficient information about Information Systems study program and how it differs from other IT-related study pro-grams should be explained well. There is a need to better promote Information Systems study programs to candidate students.

Future Research: Future studies should explore the factors impacting enrolment to Information Systems study programs with larger sample sizes and in different universities. Qualitative studies can help a deeper understanding of students’ career decisions. Future studies can also consider comparative studies in different countries.
GERMAN ARCHITECTURE IN RUSSIA: HERMANN MUTHESIUS AND THE “ELECTROPEREDACHA” POWER PLANT (1914)
Authors:   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, Shulenina Yulia D.
Published: June 2022

The “Electroperedacha” (Electric Transmission) power plant represents an important attainment in the field of architecture, urban planning and power engineering. This plant has been in operation since 1914 to the present day. Based on the original blueprints the authorship of the project was identified – it was created by Hermann Muthesius, the co-founder of the Deutsche Werkbund. The article provides a greater knowledge of the Muthesius’s heritage due to the discovery of his first and the only one project in Russia. Furthermore, the article examines the modernization of the plant in the 1920s with the participation of the VKHUTEMAS Architecture Faculty Dean Edgar Norvert. At the beginning of the 20th century, in Germany, Werkbund masters elaborated a new approach to the architecture based on the unity of art and industry. The research regards the close relationship between Russia and Germany in the field of electrification, owing to which the creation of the “Electroperedacha” power plant became possible. To conclude, the preservation and revitalization of industrial architecture is an important social and cultural process, and this published information can be regarded as a contribution to it.
"Our most valuable knowledge-based assets": Leveraging the role of human capital for organizational sustainability
Authors: Mohua Marjea Jannat , Wan Yusoff Wan Fadzilah
Published: June 2022

Research on intellectual capital provides compelling evidence that human capital (HC) plays a critical role individually and in conjunction with sustainable-based performance. Academics' interest in HC is growing in gravity to achieve a firm's sustainability, particularly in comparison to natural, financial, and economic capital. Both developed and developing countries emphasize HC development to speed economic growth by allocating the required time and resources. There is a multitude of information about how HC can aid organizational performance, but little endeavors on how organizations become more sustainable. With this intention, the study delineates to scrutinize by proposing a conceptual framework that how the transition to a knowledge- based economy has elevated the significance of enterprises' HC and organizational sustainability perceptions. The underlying propositions of "intellectual capital-based view theory" suggest a novel "knowledge-intensive" or "intellectual-based" framework for achieving competitive advantage or sustainability in which intellectual capital, e.g., HC, is viewed as knowledge-related resources rather than intangible assets. The proposed model may spark new research agenda on how social and environmental considerations aligned with financial performance through HC in organizations. In practice, the study can enlighten top management about the diverse role of HC in its dimensions, which is imperative in any strategic situation and consequences turn into sustainable business performance.

Authors: Smuts Hanlie , Gerber Aurona , van der Merwe Alta
Published: June 2022

Different approaches are adopted in this paper to develop a conceptual Society 5.0 landscape overview as well as a roadmap and a preliminary research agenda. In the first place, we employed Social Network Analysis (SNA) on Twitter to identify the communities and communication around Society 5.0, followed by content analysis of two collected document repositories, one a set of academic publications and one a set of popular press articles on Society 5.0. We used the results of these investigations to develop a conceptual landscape overview of Society 5.0 using the themes that were identified during the analysis. The landscape model was subsequently used as a baseline to develop an initial research agenda for Society 5.0 studies. Anyone interested in doing research or adopting the Society 5.0 vision should benefit from our contributions.

Authors: Sapha Wangam Apanthoi M Yumnam
Published: June 2022

There are six surviving manuscripts under the category of Subika namely Subika, Subika Achouba, Subika Laishaba, Subika Choudit, Subika Cheithil, and Thengrakhel Subika.  For this paper the manuscript “Subika Laishaba'' has been discussed. Illustration of Subika Laishaba is the manuscript painting among the earliest surviving visual arts forms of Manipur. Though the advent of Subika Laishaba paintings has lately acquired from various individual collections, the painting possesses an interesting area of studying its visual elements and cultural values of Meitei community. The painting of Subika Laisaba is a composition of cultural motifs made by pre-existing features and other influences stimulated from their cultural worldviews. Such cultural ethics of scriber makes them to create a unique style seen as indication of establishing a thought of school in which cultural and regional features are highlighted. Subika Laishaba manuscripts represent the direct and authentic continuation of the tradition of Meitei cultural life projected through visual images. Though there is no particular founder mentioned in the royal chronicle/history known as Cheitharol Kumbaba, there may be a possibility that the art form may have existed when the writing tradition was introduced in the state. This paper is an attempt to study its purposes and visual language portrayed in the Subika Laishaba manuscripts to understand its school in the realm of visual art. This study of visual language may be able to work without judgment and self-criticism.

Published: June 2022

A field experiment was conducted for two years during 2019 - 21 at Field No.36 of Eastern block farm, Department of Agronomy, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore to identify the suitable plant spacing and nutrient levels for getting higher fodder yield and economics in fodder maize pre-release culture TNFM 131-9. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The treatments consisted of four plant spacing viz., 30 cm x 15 cm, 30 cm x 10 cm, 20 cm x 10 cm and 40 cm x 15 cm and three nutrient levels viz., 75% RDF, 100% RDF and 125% RDF. The recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) for fodder maize is 60:40:20 kg NPK/ha. The results revealed that wider spacing of 40 cm x 15cm recorded higher stem girth (2.21 cm), green fodder yield (44.80 t/ha), dry matter yield (12.10 t/ha) and crude protein yield (1.54 t/ha) which was on par with 30cm x 15cm. Application of 125% RDF (75:50:25 kg NPK/ha) resulted significantly higher stem girth (2.12 cm), green fodder yield (45.1 t/ha), dry matter yield (12.27 t/ha) and crude protein yield (1.49 t/ha) and it was on par with application of 100% RDF (60:40:20 kg NPK/ha).It can be concluded that adopting the plant spacing of 40cm x 15cm with application of 60:40:20 kg NPK/ha was found to be optimum for achieving higher green fodder and crude protein yield in the fodder maize pre-release culture TNFM 131-9

Microorganisms present in the host insect gut contributes to nutrient digestion, detoxification, and degradation of toxic substances and produce biologically active metabolites. Gut bacterial strains isolated from Plutella xylostella were tested for their glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and protease activity. The GST activity varied with different bacterial strains and the maximum was recorded for Stenotrophomonas sp. PRGB08 (140 µmoL min-1 mg protein-1) isolated from resistant population. Irrespective to the origin, the substrate preference of the GST enzymes suggested that bacterially derived enzymes contribute for the detoxification of toxic substances and may confer resistance development. N-acyl homoserine lactone produced by the gut bacterial strain Stenotrophomonas sp. PRGB08 suggested that the contribution of gut bacteria to the host insect process might be variable. Furthermore, the experimental elimination of gut bacterial strains resulted in the emergence of malformed adults and adults with less fecundity. This revealed the potential for the new management strategy against the devastating, resistance developed insect species
Ethics in artificial intelligence: Issues and guidelines for developing acceptable AI systems
Authors: Sheriff Alim  , Adewale O Adebayo
Published: June 2022

There is no doubt, that Artificial Intelligent (AI) has a lot of contributions to the overall well-being of humanity and improving productivity, it is worth noting that there is also a negative impact associated with the use of the technology on ethical grounds ranging from privacy issue to lack of transparency. Quite a lot of work has been done to provide best practices in the development and use of these systems to gain the acceptance of the public; this is very essential for nations to exploit the full potential of AI. This work brings to the frontlines some of the risks/issues associated with AI from different pieces of literature and provides commonplace or leading principles and frameworks required to develop responsible AI or autonomous systems. The guidelines encourage stakeholders in the industry of developing AI systems to incorporate facilities that support transparency, privacy protection, accountability, and contestability. These guidelines are not new, but they are contextualized to suit ethics in AI. Above all, AI systems should not be seen as being equal to or greater than man, but rather be seen as augmenting intelligent systems to assist human who is the only moral agents.
The great fall of chloroquine- lessons learned from the pandemic
Authors: Binu Krishnan
Published: June 2022

Drugs like chloroquine (CQ)/ Hydroxy chloroquine (HCQ) had been widely used as treatment options at the start of pandemic with little supporting evidence. American Thoracic Society (ATS) led International Task Force had come up with some important `suggestions’ regarding CQ/ HCQ usage initially. They have suggested to use these drugs in covid 19 patients with severe pneumonia on a case by case basis. However, the role of HCQ prophylaxis, the effect of combination with macrolides, benefit versus risk assessment, age group profile and the exact definition of severe pneumonia remain unanswered among others. Now, it had become quite obvious that our perceptions based on some observational studies were completely wrong.
Resource competition between nomadic pastoralists and sedentary crop farmers in southern Taraba State, Nigeria
Authors: Ekanem Asukwo Ekanem
Published: June 2022

This article entitled “Resource Competition between Nomadic Pastoralists and Sedentary Crop Farmers in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria” aimed at exploring the dynamics of resource competition as it affected nomadic pastoralists and sedentary crop farmers in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria. Research design adopted was descriptive that depended on judgmental sampling technique. Secondary sources of data collection (books, journal articles, monographs, internet materials among others) were sourced from Nigerian libraries and internet. The documentary data were subjected to content validity before qualitatively analyzed into the study. Findings revealed that environmental degradation caused by climate change and shrinking of Lake Chad Basin was the remote factors that trigger resource competition between nomadic pastoralists and sedentary crop farmers in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria. The resource competition has negative consequences on economy, humanitarian, political and social life of the people. Federal government has proposed Cattle Colony, National Livestock Development Plan, Rural Grazing Area, while Taraba State government promulgated Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranching Establishment Law No. 7 of 2017. Regrettably, the resource competition continues unabatedly hence the adoption of Relative Deprivation Theory to deepen the understanding of the series of crises between farmers and herders in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria. The study recommends that federal government should fund ranches; establish National Climate Change Commission as well as revive Lake Chad Basin Commission. These would be panacea for resource competition between nomadic pastoralists and sedentary crop farmers in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria.

Abstrak
Kebersihan diri sangat penting terutama bagi remaja wanita yang sedang mengalami menstruasi. Kebersihan yang kurang dapat menyebabkan timbulnya suatu gejala maupun penyakit terutama dapat menyerang alat reproduksi wanita. Salah satu gejala akibat tidak menjaga kebersihan diri ketika menstruasi yaitu keputihan. Namun, setiap wanita pernah mengalami keputihan atau fluor albus. Fluor albus dibagi menjadi 2, yaitu keputihan fisiologis atau normal dan keputihan patologis atau tidak normal.
            Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis pengaruh pengetahuan hygiene saat menstruasi terhadap kejadian fluor albus pada siswi kelas 8 dan 9 di SMPN 1  Sidoarjo. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain analitik observasional dengan cara pengumpulan data secara cross sectional. Jumlah subyek penelitian sebesar 78 siswi dengan teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan consecutive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara menyebarkan kuesioner secara online melalui situs google form (gform) yang ditujukan kepada sampel penelitian.
            Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa mayoritas responden dalam penelitian ini memiliki pengetahuan hygiene saat menstruasi cukup sebanyak 47 responden dengan persentase 60% dan sebanyak 43 responden dengan persentase 55% mengalami fluor albus patologis atau abnormal.

            Kesimpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada pengaruh antara pengetahuan hygiene saat menstruasi terhadap kejadian fluor albus pada siswi kelas 8 dan 9 di SMPN 1 Sidoarjo.
An agent-based simulation model for earthquake pedestrians' evacuation in historical urban fabric
Authors: Bernardini Gabriele
Published: June 2022

The majority of Italian historical urban fabric is placed in earthquake prone areas. This study introduces the analysis of human behaviors in the earthquake risk assessment at urban scale: man-environment interactions in such conditions highly influence the inhabitants safety, especially in historical city centers. On these bases, this study proposes an agent-based earthquake evacuation simulator. Validation tests are performed on an Italian historical centre, demonstrating the validity of the model. Analysis on “human” behaviors should be combined to traditional evaluation in order to define integrated “risk maps” and “interventions maps”.

Authors: Marras Francesco
Published: June 2022

The research explores the topic of heritage between tradition and modernity, in particular water management technologies through a series of examples in different contexts of Sardinia. Through the study of that relation, the thesis provides an important item for the project of architecture in weak context where water and land are strictly related. The research has the aim to explore the multi-scalarity through that show the relationship between water and architecture, from the territorial system to the building object. The recovery of the objects in the territories could be an important way to recovery not only a building but also a territorial system.

Basalt fibre stitchings: a new technique for strengthening masonry
Authors: Monni Francesco
Published: June 2022

Rehabilitation of historical masonry is a demanding task, especially in seismic zones, where vulnerable buildings and structures can suffer severe damages and losses, as recent earthquakes testify. The idea of a strengthening technique able to connect masonry elements, stitching them, based on the use of basalt fibre ropes arise from the awareness that one of the worst structural defects of an historic masonry wall is the lack of monolithic behaviour. To assess the effectiveness of proposed technique, experimental (laboratory and “in situ” tests) has been performed. The main results show its potentiality and full sustainability.
