韋伯與奧斯華德：一個能量社會學的想像
Authors: 張君玫 張君玫
Published: July 2022

這篇文章針對1909年社會學家韋伯（Max Weber）和化學家奧斯華德（Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald）關於文化能量學的爭議，進行一種繞射的閱讀（diffractive reading），從中生產出切合當代人類世困局的觀點。首先，我彰顯當代社會複雜的能量地景，尤其是石化資本主義的高耗能模式。其次，我探討韋伯對奧斯華德的批判，聚焦在藝術和技術的利益群集，以及韋伯多元主義和奧斯華德統合理論之間的張力。接著，我討論晚近學界對奧斯華德能量論的重探，強調涉及技術科學的分子轉向，其促成有機體地景的多樣化。最後，我重新思考能量超有機體的概念，一種雜揉的綜合體，及其可能的方向。

 

This paper presents a diffractive reading of the controversy on cultural energeticism involving sociologist Max Weber and chemistry Nobel laureate Wilhelm Ostwald in 1909 to provide a relevant perspective for the Anthropocene conjunction. First, I highlight the complex energetic landscape of contemporary society, especially the high-energy-consuming model of fossil capitalism. Second, I discuss Weber’s critique of Ostwald, focusing on the clustered interests of art and technology, as well as the tension between Weber’s pluralism and Ostwald’s aspiration for a unifying theory of everything. Third, I discuss some recent revaluations of Ostwald’s energeticism, emphasizing the technoscientific molecular turn that has diversified the organismic landscape. Finally, I reassess the conception of an energetic superorganism—a hybrid synthesis— and its potential future direction.

 
世界史的異例：由韋伯方法論看台灣和香港
Authors: 顧忠華 顧忠華
Published: July 2022

香港在1997回歸中國後，由於有「一國兩制」的保護傘，基本上仍是與西方倡議的「普世價值」接軌的社會，自由、人權、法治、乃至民主，都是主流的「集體意識」，而2014年風起雲湧的「反送中」運動，可說是一個分水嶺。2021年開始，北京當局則開始強力施行「國安法」，香港就此不再具有由英國殖民開始的某種「異例」地位。

 相對而言，台灣的民主化成果，是否代表華人群居社會的另外一種「異例」？本篇評論嘗試借用韋伯論述基督新教倫理和資本主義精神之間歷史脈絡的方法論，以「世界史異例之想像」來探討特殊條件下形成的「因果鎖鏈」，或可協助我們進行某種攸關中國、台灣和香港未來命運的思想實驗。

 本篇評論分析，台灣過去基於種種因緣際會的組合元素，成為克服威權體制、落實自由民主價值的成功案例。這使得台灣具備了目前全球「抗中」形勢下的戰略位置，並有資格被視作是「世界史的異例」。然而究竟在「普世價值」和「中華民族偉大復興」兩種意識形態的鬥爭下，孰能真正勝出？恐怕就如韋伯所承認，歷史進展中處處隱含著「理性化的弔詭」，除了人為的「責任倫理」努力外，恐怕仍存在若干不可知力量(如理念式的「卡里斯瑪」)，有如轉轍器般，改變了軌道的方向。且讓世人拭目以待！

 

At the time of Hong Kong’s return to China in 1997, freedom, human rights, the rule of law, and democracy, which are among the universal values of Western culture, were mainstream values in Hong Kong’s collective consciousness. However, the Umbrella Movement in 2014 was a watershed moment in Hong Kong’s history. Beginning in 2021, the People’s Republic of China began to enforce the National Security Act, with Hong Kong no longer maintaining the special status it had held since British colonization.

 In the context of Chinese communities, is Taiwan’s democratization exceptional? In this review, Weber’s theory of the historical connection between Protestant ethics and the capitalist spirit is applied to explore the causal chain of the world’s historical process. This exploration entails a thought experiment of sorts, the conclusions of which may have vital implications for the future of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

 This review analyzes how Taiwan has succeeded in overcoming an authoritarian system and implementing the values of liberal democracy. As a polity that successfully transitioned to liberal democracy, Taiwan is perceived to be strategically important by other democracies in under a climate of rising tension with China. It remains unknown whether the global order created and fostered by liberal democracies will continue to occupy a central position in world affairs or if China will succeed in carving out an increasingly significant role in world affairs. Based on the Methodology of Max Weber, this review article tries to analyze the current situation in Hong Kong and Taiwan, then point out the special meaning of these two examples in the world history.

Published: July 2022

The whole planet has been put in danger by COVID 19. In every facet of life, it has wreaked disaster in its wake. There isn't a single industry that hasn't been touched. One of the most impacted areas is education. Around 1.54 billion children, including 743 million girls, have been infected by this outbreak, according to a UNESCO assessment. Because they lack the wherewithal to continue their education, the most disadvantaged members of society are the first to feel the effects of this policy. In these circumstances, the post-COVID-19 situation seems to be more difficult. There is a worldwide effort to assure the continuation of learning through online platforms, alternative modes of providing education, while also preparing for the opening of schools, colleges and universities. COVID 19's effects can only be mitigated if all parties involved, including students, instructors, school administration, and parents, work together to develop acceptable alternatives in concert with government authorities and educational resources. This  paper will discuss about the global education system's potential problems and solutions in the years after COVID-19. Using online and virtual classrooms, it comments on the increasing reliance on technology in the classroom.
Social media addiction on mental health of undergraduates

Published: July 2022

Young people are avid social media users and, as such, might be prone to mental health issues because of the comparison of the kind of life they see on social media. The study was anchored on the social comparison theory; hence, it investigated the influence of social media on the mental health of Afe Babalola University undergraduates. The survey design with a sample of 382 was chosen from the population of 8500 students. The study adopted the purposive sampling technique as respondents were chosen based on their usage of social media. It was discovered that increased use of social media leads to deeper social life suffering in the sense that addicted users interact more and value social media friends more than real-life interactions with family and friends. The study also revealed a moderate correlation between the increase in social media addiction and the increase in the  mental health of users. Thus, social media significantly influences the mental health of undergraduates in the university.

Authors: Hirpara Urvashi , Priyadarshini Ankita , Suthar Mrugesh , Patadia Hemant Kumar
Published: July 2022

Background: We used standard laboratory test to determine tissue injury and inflammatory state on the physiological condition of fever, cough, headache in 672 patients tested for CRP and 407 patients tested for LDH out of a total of 994 COVID-19 admissions during the period of April 2021-September 2021 at Parul Sevashram Hospital, Vadodara. The data was stratified based on the survivor/non-survivor status and severity of disease condition based on Ward or ICU admissions. The results were correlated with the vales of serum CRP and LDH levels for determining their prognostic significance. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective, single-centre, observational study using the data collected from MRD division through electronic records and standardized data collection template. It included patients who were tested for CRP and LDH at times of admission. Mean, Standard deviation, Median and Interquartile range (IQR) were used to present continuous variables. Student’s t-test was used for testing differences between the two groups applicable. For study of single variables, Z-score was performed. The SPSS version 16 software was used for performing linear regression in this study and statistical analysis was done.
Qualitative, quantitative phytochemical analysis and in-vitro anti-mycobacterial evaluation of allspice
Authors: Komala Vipul Vishwanath Dhasade M.
Published: July 2022

Phytochemical study of plant products has gained popularity in both plant biochemistry and organic chemistry in recent years. One of the current issues in phytochemistry is carrying out all of the above operations with little amounts of material. Pimenta dioica Linn, often called as "All-spice," contains a number of secondary metabolites with medicinal potential. This study examines the key phytochemicals found in the leaves of the medicinally important plant Pimenta dioica on a qualitative and quantitative level. The goal of this study is to evaluate phytochemicals by analysing diverse extracts quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantification and phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, proteins, amino acids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, and glycosides. In addition, the study found that an ethanolic extract of leaves extract was more effective against mycobacterium tuberculin.  A microplate-based Alamar blue assay has been applied to search for novel antimicrobials to treat tuberculosis from phytochemicals in Pimenta dioica.

Fair and effective public administration
Authors: Váczi Péter
Published: July 2022

Administrative procedure is classically the area of law where public administration has direct contact with citizens. Consequently, these cases entail a risk of violating the fundamental rights of citizens, which is certainly not desirable in a constitutional state. In today's administrative systems, administrative procedural law is becoming increasingly important. In practice, the main trends are limiting the executive power of the state to constitutional limits, guaranteeing the fundamental rights of citizens, and creating "good public administration". For many, the question may arise: are good administrative procedures merely a desirable moral objective, without any legal effect, or are there legal elements that make it both binding and effective?

A novel gedunin-2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex improves anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of gedunin in rodents
Authors: Ologe Mary Olufunmilayo
Published: July 2022

Gedunin is a bioactive compound, obtained from Entandrophragma angolense (EA), which has limited therapeutic usefulness due to poor aqueous solubility and first-pass effects. Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides that form complexes with poorly soluble compounds, thus enhancing their pharmacological activity. In this article, we evaluated the pharmacological activities of gedunin-2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin complex (GCD) in rodents. The antinociceptive activity of GCD (50, 100, 200 mg/kg) and Gedunin (50mg/kg) was tested in acetic acid-induced writhing and formalin-induced paw licking in mice. The anti-inflammatory activity was investigated in carrageenan-induced paw oedema and air pouch inflammation models in rats. Leucocytes counts, Tumour Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) level, nitric oxide, malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione, and myeloperoxidase enzyme activities were assessed in the air pouch exudate. The GCD (200mg/kg) significantly decreased writhing response, reduced licking duration and decreased oedema compared with gedunin and control. Exudate volume and leucocyte count were significantly reduced by GCD (200 mg/kg), it decreased myeloperoxidase activity and inhibited TNF-α release. The carrageenan-induced GSH depletion, increased malondialdehyde and nitrite levels were significantly reversed by GCD (200 mg/kg) relative to gedunin and control.  The GCD complex demonstrated significant antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities relative to gedunin alone via mechanisms associated with inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation in rodents

Authors: Ishola Ismail , Afolayan Olasunmbo , Badru Adedeji , Olubodun-obadun Taiwo , John Nkechi , Adeyemi Olufunmilayo
Published: July 2022

Background: Parkinson disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are progressive neurodegenerative disorders characterized by loss of selective neurons in discreet part of the brain. The peptide angiotensin II (Ang II) plays significant role in hippocampal and striatal neurons degeneration through the generation of reactive oxygen species. Blockade of the angiotensin converting enzyme or ATI receptors provides protection in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases. In the present study, the neuroprotective effect of captopril was investigated in Drosophila melanogaster model using the UAS-GAL4 system to express the synuclein and Aβ42 peptide in the flies’ neurons.

Methods: The disease causing human Aβ42 peptide or α-syn was expressed pan-neuronally (elav-GAL4) or dopamine neuron (DDC-GAL4) using the UAS-GAL4 system. Flies were either grown in food media with or without captopril (1, 5, or 10µM). This was followed by fecundity, larva motility, negative geotaxis assay (climbing) and lifespan as a measure of neurodegeneration.

Results: Elav-Gal4<Aβ or DDC-GAL4<α-syn flies displayed significant decrease in larva motility when compared with normal control (w1118) which was reversed by the supplementation of the media with captopril (5 or 10 mM) indicative of neuroprotection. Interestingly, supplementation of flies’ media with captopril improved climbing activity in Elav-Gal4<Aβ or DDC-GAL4<α-syn flies when compared with vehicle treated only. Moreover, flies grown on captopril caused no significant change in lifespan. 

Conclusion: Findings from this study confirmed the neuroprotective action of captopril in genetic or familial forms of neurodegeneration.

Published: July 2022

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of caffeine and adrenaline administration on memory and anxiety in male rats. Rats weighing about 140-200g were used for the study. They were divided into three groups (4 animals per group). Study groups 1; a,b,c,d were healthy rats administered normal saline, 5,10 and 15mg/kg bw caffeine intraperitoneally (i.p.), respectively for 6 weeks. Study groups 2; a,b,c,d administered normal saline, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.31mg/kg bw adrenaline (i.p.), respectively for 6 weeks. Study groups 3; a,b,c,d administered normal saline, 5mg/kg caffeine (i.p.) + 0.1mg/kg adrenaline (i.p.), 10mg/kg Caffeine (i.p.) + 0.2mg/kg Adrenaline (i.p.) and 15mg/kg Caffeine (i.p.) + 0.3mg/kg Adrenaline (i.p.) respectively for 6 weeks. The result showed no significant difference in spatial memory across all animals in study groups 1: b,c,d when compared to control (a). Study groups 2: (b, c) showed increase in spatial memory when compared to control (a). 2(d) showed a significant (p<0.05) decrease. Study groups 3: b, c, d showed no significant difference in spatial memory when compared to control (a). Study groups 1: b, c showed significant (p<0.05) reduction in duration for the short and long term memory test when compared to control. Study groups 2 showed reduction in duration for both the long and short term memory test when compared to control Study groups 3 no significant (p<0.05) difference in short and long term memory test across all animals in the group. It was also observed that adrenaline enhanced short and long term memory and only high dose of adrenaline distorted spatial memory. Study groups 1; (b,c) showed significant (p<0.05) increase in the number of entries to the open arm of the elevated plus maze when compared to control (a). Study groups 2; (b), showed significant (p<0.05) increase in the frequencies of entries to the closed arm of the elevated plus maze when compared to control (a). Study groups 2; (d), showed a significant (p<0.05) decrease in the frequency of entries to the open and closed arm when compared to control (a). The study revealed that co- administration of caffeine and adrenaline led to elevation of mood, increased activity and reduction of anxiety in Wistar rats. In addition, it was observed that only high dose of adrenaline increased anxiety. It was also observed that caffeine and adrenaline enhanced short and long term memory and only high dose of adrenaline distorted spatial memory.

Background: It has been reported that there is a positive correlation between job satisfaction and the productivity of staff members. Measuring satisfaction has been widely adopted as an indicator of the medical quality of hospitals. Methods: This was a 6-year satisfaction survey from 2014 to 2019 of 11,045 participants, which included outpatients (5609 participants), inpatients (3647 participants), hospital staff (1647 participants), and relevant social institutions (142 participants). The average score of each questionnaire was calculated for the last score. Results: The satisfaction scores of outpatients and inpatients gradually increased over the years. Inpatients rated their satisfaction higher than outpatients did. The salary and welfare scores for hospital staff were significantly lower than other indicators. The survey of relevant relevant social institutions showed a wave change trend. Conclusions: This study examined feedback on hospital experience and evaluated of the quality of medical administration via six years of hospital satisfaction surveys. The hospital administrative office used the feedback from the surveys to direct substantial administrative work, thereby improving the quality of hospital services and development through satisfaction surveys.
What is it like learning with an enthusiastic teacher? – A survey on university EFL students
Authors: Tran Cam Tu , Le Quang Thao
Published: July 2022

Students need effort and motivation to get outstanding scholastic achievements and to keep themselves motivated throughout their educational journey. Some students drop out of school owing to demotivation in class. Others struggle to find excitement or interest in their study. One of the most crucial things in keeping students inspired to learn while they are at school is the teacher. There is a lot of research that has studied the effects of teachers' enthusiasm on students' learning, especially learning motivation, but little has been done on EFL (English as a foreign language) students at university. This study aimed to investigate how EFL students feel in relation to their learning motivation when they learn with an enthusiastic teacher. The participants are 150 EFL students from a university in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. To collect and analyze the data needed for this investigation, the researchers used a quantitative method with a questionnaire employed as a measurement tool. The result has found that student’s positive perceptions exceptionally outweigh negative ones. The study concludes by making some recommendations for better motivating students and for future research.
O tratamento do melasma com microagulhamento e ácido Tranexâmico
Authors: Bessa Vicente Alberto Lima , Moraes Vanessa Teixeira Paula
Published: July 2022

O melasma é uma das alterações pigmentares que mais causam problemas psicossociais nas mulheres, influenciando sua qualidade de vida, sendo uma disfunção inestética de difícil tratamento com recidivas. Tratamentos com princípios ativos despigmentantes associados a equipamentos são realizados com o objetivo de clarear as manchas, incluindo ácido tranexâmico e microagulhamento. O estudo é uma revisão sistêmica e sua busca foi realizada na base de dados PubMed, com artigos originais de 2017 a 2022 para investigar os benefícios do microagulhamento e/ou ácido tranexâmico no tratamento do melasma. Os estudos incluídos foram um ensaio clínico, um ensaio clínico randomizado, um ensaio clínico não randomizado e um estudo prospetivo randomizado publicado em inglês. O microagulhamento utiliza rolos com agulhas ou caneta elétrica para gerar uma lesão controlada, aumentando a produção de colágeno e elastina, além de criar canais que aumentam a permeação transdérmica dos princípios ativos (drug delivery). Estudo realizado mostrou os efeitos benéficos do drug delivery de vitamina C e ácido tranexâmico, ambos apresentando diminuição entre 15% e 27% no melasma. Outra associação foi realizada com plasma rico em plaquetas, que potencializa a ação despigmentante do ácido tranexâmico lipossomado. Pode-se dizer que o ácido tranexâmico isoladamente ou em associação ao microagulhamento é uma alternativa terapêutica eficaz e segura no tratamento do melasma, mas são necessários mais estudos para contribuir de forma mais efetiva para a melhora dessa disfunção.

Published: July 2022

The Leishmania parasite belonged to trypanosomatidae family,. Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL)and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) are endemic in Iraq as one of the neglected tropical diseases. The current drugswhich are used as antileishaminial treatment characterized by enormous side effects including their toxicity tohuman, long term treatment, liver problems, hugely cost. Therefore, there is a necessity to find an alternativetreatment marked as low cost, more specific against parasite’s stages, Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), acytokine that generated by the innate immune response to CL infection, can influence disease clearance in thehuman host. The effect of this pro-inflammatory cytokine in CL ulcer development during the infection is not wellestablished. The current study was conducted on 88 individaul of both sexes, they were from Diyala province andthe capital Baghdad, during the period from October 2020 to February 2021.All suspected cutaneous or visceral patients involved in this study were prediagnosed in the laboratory beforeprocessing Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Adenosine Deaminase Enzyme (ADA) by ELISAcolorimetric detection.Total number of confirmed leishmaniasis patients were (n=57) cutaneous patients and (n=16) visceral patients,collected from different hospitals in Diyala province and Baghdad. Positive CL or VL samples were confirmed bymicroscopic Giemsa staining, In this study, the level of circulating tumor necrosis factor alpha and adenosinedeaminase enzyme levels were detected in CL patients of newly diagnosed infection and in patients undergoingdifferent doses of treatment, 2nd and 3rd Pentostam trail-treatment, in addition, VL patients of newly diagnosedinfection with no treatment; in comparison to control subjects.Regardless the type of leishmaniasis and according to age, the results showed that TNF-α concentration was higherin patients less than 15 years old, in comparison with other age group over 15 years (15-60) years old, which was1169.899 ng/ml and 961.206 ng/ml respectively. While according to sex, the higher concentration of TNF-α wasrecorded in female rather than male, 1030.243 ng/ml and 996.458 ng/mlRegarding ADA enzyme, the highest enzyme activity also recorded in the age group of 1-14 years old, which was4.749 nanomol/minute/µg, in comparison of patients between 15-60 years old, which was 3.706nanomol/minute/µg. While according to sex, the maximum enzyme activity was seen in male rather than female(4.296, 4.483) nanomol/minute/µg, respectively. The perceived rise of TNF-α and ADA serum levels may giveinsights into this pro-inflammatory cytokine as a biomarker in prognosis and tracking disease progression.

Plastic waste has become a common problem in Indonesia. The Indonesian government has actually issued many policies to overcome the impact of plastic waste, but so far the Indonesian government has not succeeded in dealing with plastic waste. Currently, Indonesia has many young generations. As the younger generation in Indonesia, we propose a solution to deal with plastic waste, namely by using environmentally friendly bags made from spun bonds. We also implement the solutions we offer for the children at Rumah Yatim and Dhuafa Islahul Hayat Foundation, Pondok Petir.

This research is a type of quantitative research with secondary data based on the company's financial statements obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange website. The sample selection in this study used a purposive sampling method so that the sample that met the criteria was obtained by 73 companies. Data processing was carried out using the SPSS 25 application program with the research model using multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA). The results of the research simultaneously show that the transfer pricing, tax incentives, and thin capitalization variables together have an effect on tax aggressiveness. The results partially show that transfer pricing has no positive effect on tax aggressiveness, tax incentives and thin capitalization have a positive and significant effect on tax aggressiveness. While the moderated regression analysis (MRA) test shows that the firm size variable cannot moderate the effect of transfer pricing and tax incentives on tax aggressiveness, however the firm size variable can moderate and strengthen the effect of thin capitalization on tax aggressiveness.

Every company expects its employees to work satisfactorily following predetermined targets. This is expected to have an impact on the progress of the company to be able to compete with other companies. An employee who has good performance results is expected to have high spiritual intelligence, whose quality of life is based on values and a reluctance to cause unnecessary loss. This research aims to determine the relationship between spiritual intelligence and employee performance. The subject for this research were 150 employees of XYZ Bank, which was the result of sampling from the simple random sampling method. This research implemented a quantitative approach with the type of correlational research that used a survey method with a questionnaire. This research implemented Spiritual Intelligence Scale in the form of the Spiritual Intelligence Self Report Inventory (SISRI), which was adapted from King (? = 0.876), and the Employee Performance scale which referred to the perception of the Bank's employees XYZ (? = 0.829). Data analysis was performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test with p = 0.157 (Sig.p > 0,05 or 5%) for spiritual intelligence variables and employee performance variables were not normally distributed because p = 0,014 (Sig.p > 0,05 or 5%). The correlation test was carried out using Spearman correlation analysis with p = 0.708 (Sig.p > 0,05 or 5%). Hence, it was found that there is no relationship between spiritual intelligence and the performance of XYZ Bank employees.

Published: July 2022

The causes of deforestation in Indonesia have been widely discussed in the literature related to this matter, but this article discusses the impact and mitigation of deforestation in the Gunung Kawi forest area. The purpose of this study is to answer the questions that are at the heart of the problem, namely: (1) How do we define “forest”, “deforestation” and “LMDH” and “Role of Forestry” in the Indonesian context? (2) What is the principle of the implementation of the cooperation between Forestry Malang Regency and LMDH Wonosari (actors who are grouped as the indigenous people of Gunung Kawi) to reduce deforestation and forest land degradation? The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach.
The results of this study provide suggestions for Forestry Malang Regency to apply the principles of the Partnership Program with a Public Private Partnership which can eliminate the tendency to find a single cause of the failure of the cooperation program with LMDH Wonosari. Deforestation can be tackled by planting coffee trees “intercropping” and Taro Beneng plants among the pine trees in the Gunung Kawi Forest.
Suggestions for future researchers to be able to know with certainty the involvement of the Malang Regency Government and Forestry in providing deforestation and reforestation data in the Gunung Kawi Forest.

Published: July 2022

Concrete brick is one of the most widely used materials for walls. In fact, in the field, many bricks are damaged quickly, for example, broken or damp. This research aims to discover the process of making concrete brick using husk rice ash as additives and the difference in quality between ordinary brick and brick made from added rice husk ash. Adding rice husk ash is to utilize the husk waste, which is available in huge quantities. This research was conducted in a laboratory, using the analysis technique of compressive strength of the specimen and water absorption according to SNI 03-0349-1989. The results showed that adding rice husk ash percentage increased the absorption capacity of the bricks. Furthermore, the compressive strength of the bricks decreased with the addition of the percentage of rice husk ash. However, the compressive strength and absorption of the bricks with rice husk ash still meet the requirements SNI 03-0349-1989.

Published: July 2022

The objective of this paper is to show the possibilities for the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in risk assessment methodology for ERP projects. Both AI and ERP being solutions built around data, it is of great importance how this data is organized and processed, and how it can be used on the one hand to manage the business process in a more efficient way and on the other to address risk factors that might compromise the ERP system in a way, which standard risk assessment methodologies might miss. AI can add value to such risk assessment methodology as it can process large amounts of data and even automize repetitive and heavy load risk management steps. AI can allow risk managers to respond faster to new and emerging threats in an ERP project. By acting in real time and with some predictive capabilities, AI supported risk management could reach a new level in improving the managers’ decision-making for building the ERP system of the company. The literature review is given of the main AI and machine learning techniques of benefit to risk management and ERP projects. Then an analysis, using current practice and empirical evidence, is carried out of the application of these techniques to the risk management fields in implementing an ERP system. The paper also presents a showcase of how Bulgarian companies address the issues of risk assessment and AI implementation in it to build ERP systems.
