Published: March 2024

Digital transformation is conquering the world with a tremendous speed in every aspect of society and education is one important area. This fast advancement in technology is occurring in both the developed and developing societies. As a result, we see e-learning platforms extensively used and make the learning process continue in universities and education institutions almost uninterrupted, despite the restrictions of social interaction by governments during the covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the User Acceptance and Adoption of the Digital Management Information System by focusing on E-Learning System in IDE at UNZA. The study was conducted on the students and lecturers who used the System at the IDE at UNZA. A google questionnaire was sent to the students in their groups and 271 participants answered the questionnaire successfully and this became the sample for the study. Data was analyzed using SPSS where the correlation and multi-variant Regression Analysis Model were used to help understand the data. The study found that the Social Influence (β= .657), was mostly significant in influencing User Acceptance Adoption of the System, seconded by Performance Expectancy ( and Effort Expectancy’s (. The study concludes that all the constructs are positively related to the acceptance and adoption of the E-Learning System. However, Social Influence is the most influenced factor User Acceptance Adoption of the E-Learning System at the University of Zambia when compared to the other constructs. This conclusion has added to the arguments which have found other factors like PE and EE to be factors affecting BI for the adoption of IT systems in other countries. The study recommended that the University of Zambia should link E- Learning system with the online library to assist student get the recommended resources. This can be done by adding a fee to facilitate which will help cater for the running costs while students and lecturers maximize the use of the system.
« De pauvres bêtes harassées » : Les Bédouines selon Aline Réveillaud de Lens
Authors: Sokołowicz Małgorzata 
Published: March 2024

L’article vise à présenter la figure de la Bédouine qui émerge du journal intime, d’une nouvelle et d’un tableau d’Aline Réveillaud de Lens (1881-1925), peintre et écrivaine française qui, depuis 1911, vécut avec son mari, fonctionnaire colonial, au Maghreb. En 1913, le couple part passer un peu de temps dans la région du Djérid. C’est là qu’Aline Réveillaud de Lens rencontre des Bédouines et découvre leur mode de vie qui fait penser à celui des êtres subalternes tels que définis par les Subaltern Studies. L’article est divisé en trois parties. La première analyse le regard de la voyageuse. La seconde montre dans quelle mesure les Bédouines présentées par Aline Réveillaud de Lens correspondent au concept d’êtres subalternes et la dernière partie investigue la façon dont les femmes du désert parlent dans l’œuvre lensienne.
Le Brésil dans les récits de voyages en Chine (xviie-début xixe siècle) : Analogies, connexions, commensurabilité
Authors: Roy Axel Le 
Published: March 2024

L’analogie est un processus privilégié pour installer un rapport de commensurabilité entre des mondes lointains. Qu’ils soient missionnaires, membres d’ambassades ou marchands, de nombreux auteurs ont employé cet outil dans les récits de leurs voyages pour décrire les contrées parcourues ou les peuples rencontrés. Nous souhaitons explorer les comparaisons et les liens établis entre le Brésil et la Chine par les auteurs de livres sur la Chine publiés pendant l’époque moderne. Quelles similarités sont ainsi établies ? Pourquoi évoquer le Brésil dans un texte sur la Chine ? Nous verrons que les richesses de la nature sont au cœur de ces connexions entre le Brésil et la Chine.

É com muita satisfação que apresentamos aos leitores da Revista Acta Scientiarum. Human and Social Sciences o vol. 45, n. 3, 2023, número especial dedicado a Etnopsicologia, e resultante de uma parceria entre a nossa Revista e o GT Etnopsicologia da Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Psicologia (ANPPEP). Segundo Scorsolini-Comin e Bairrão (2023, p. 12), “[…] a Etnopsicologia é uma etnociência que valoriza os saberes nativos, comprometendo-se com uma abordagem teórica e empírica que não se aparta do seu compromisso com o social”.
Um dos autores de referência no campo da etnopsicologia é Georges Devereux (1908-1985). Antropólogo e psicanalista húngaro, ele é conhecido como o criador da disciplina etnopsicanálise/etnopsiquiatria, disciplina que articula a psicanálise e a antropologia (também poderíamos incluir aqui outras disciplinas e outros saberes) na compreensão dos fenômenos humanos (Domingues & Binkowski, 2023).
Assessing Discomfort in American Adult Intensive Care Patients
Authors: Gunnels Marshall S. , Reisdorf Emily M. , Mandrekar Jay , Chlan Linda L. 
Published: March 2024

Background
While in the intensive care unit, critically ill patients experience a myriad of distressing symptoms and stimuli leading to discomfort, a negative emotional and/ or physical state that arises in response to noxious stimuli. Appropriate management of these symptoms requires a distinct assessment of discomfort-causing experiences.

Objectives
To assess patient-reported discomfort among critically ill patients with the English-language version of the Inconforts des Patients de REAnimation questionnaire, and to explore relationships between demographic and clinical characteristics and overall discomfort score on this instrument.

Methods
This study had a cross-sectional, descriptive, single-cohort design. The convenience sample consisted of alert and oriented patients aged 18 years or older who had been admitted to intensive care units at a Midwestern tertiary referral hospital and were invited to participate. An 18-item questionnaire on physiological and psychological stimuli inducing discomfort was administered once. Each item was scored from 0 to 10, with the total possible discomfort score ranging from 0 to 100. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze participants’ demographic and clinical characteristics and questionnaire responses.

Results
A total of 180 patients were enrolled. The mean (SD) overall discomfort score was 32.9 (23.6). The greatest sources of discomfort were sleep deprivation (mean [SD] score, 4.0 [3.4]), presence of perfusion catheters and tubing (3.4 [2.9]), thirst (3.0 [3.3]), and pain (3.0 [3.0]).

Conclusions
Intensive care unit patients in this study reported mild to moderate discomfort. Additional research is needed to design and test interventions based on assessment of specific discomfort-promoting stimuli to provide effective symptom management.
Inactivity May Identify Older Intensive Care Unit Survivors at Risk for Post–Intensive Care Syndrome
Authors: Elias Maya N. , Ahrens Emily A. , Tsai Chi-Shan , Liang Zhan , Munro Cindy L. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Older adults (≥age 65) admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) are profoundly inactive during hospitalization. Older ICU survivors often experience life-changing symptoms, including cognitive dysfunction, physical impairment, and/or psychological distress, which are components of post–intensive care syndrome (PICS).

Objectives
To explore trends between inactivity and symptoms of PICS in older ICU survivors.

Methods
This study was a secondary analysis of pooled data obtained from 2 primary, prospective, cross-sectional studies of older ICU survivors. After ICU discharge, 49 English- and Spanish-speaking participants who were functionally independent before admission and who had received mechanical ventilation while in the ICU were enrolled. Actigraphy was used to measure post-ICU hourly activity counts (12:00 AM to 11:59 PM). Selected instruments from the National Institutes of Health Toolbox and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System were used to assess symptoms of PICS: cognitive dysfunction, physical impairment, and psychological distress.

Results
Graphs illustrated trends between inactivity and greater symptom severity of PICS: participants who were less active tended to score worse than one standard deviation of the mean on each outcome. Greater daytime activity was concurrently observed with higher performances on cognitive and physical assessments and better scores on psychological measures.

Conclusions
Post-ICU inactivity may identify older ICU survivors who may be at risk for PICS and may guide future research interventions to mitigate symptom burden.
Package Assembly Design Kits - The Future of Advanced Package Design
Authors: Fuentes Ruben 
Published: March 2024

HDFO design layout and system-level performance require a range of dynamic design rule definitions. Package Assembly Design Kits can capture and implement these design rule contraints. These PADKs offer a special type of implementation by validating the design of layout with a benchmark that supports the manufacturing and assembly processes performed by the OSATs. Partnering with an OSAT to utilize PADKs early in the life cycle of product development is critical to reducing the number of design layout spins sometimes required to meet manufacturing and assembly best practices. As the HDFO signal I/O counts increase proportionally with the package complexity, the only practical solution is to leverage the strength of a PADK to drive the package design layout from day one. Establishing a PADK into an existing desgin workflow does take some investment; howeverk the rewards can be exponential, with sequential or parallel projects commencing. Areas requiring an investment will depend on the current design environment and established workflows. The following are the four pillars that lead to a successful PADK implementation: high-end computer hardware, compatible software, advanced training, and a qualified support team. The scale of each will additionally depend on the scope of each package being developed. One especially positive feature of the elements that make up the package assembly design kit is that each item can be implemented into existing design flows. The impact on the design flow is minimal, but the results are immense. Pulling all the benefits together is like opening the doors into tomorrow, and they remain open with the potential and opportunities offered by the advancements in Package Assembly Design Kits.

Published: March 2024

Companies may have legal obligations resulting from the inclusion of the Candidate List of substances of very high concern (SVHC) in a concentration above 0.1% w/w in an Article, as defined under EU REACH Regulation and Waste Framework Directive (SCIP Database) if they place articles on the EU market. Only a few studies have so far been made on how to determine the contents of the Chemical in Product (CiP). The approach to identifying the risk associated with the SVHC in the IC package is mainly to collect and review large information from the supplier chain or by chemical analysis. This article tries to discuss the current challenges for data collection and identifying risks with chemical substances in the IC package. Based on the chemical test results of 2-benzyl-2-dimethylamino-4’-morpholinobutyrophenone and bisphenol A, it was found that the test results of SVHC could be affected by numerous factors such as tested sample form (e.g., powder or flaky shaped), tested sample curing conditions, and chemical analytical methods. Although chemical analysis provides more accurate information for SVHC, when utilizing chemical analysis for checking legal compliance, we still need to compare and analyze the result of chemical substances analysis with the materials self-declaration provided by suppliers to judge whether the data are reasonable.
Reliability Prediction of Radiation Induced Failures in Semiconductor Packages
Authors: Alagappan Ashok , Rostami-Angas Masoud 
Published: March 2024

The growth and usage of semiconductor components has risen greatly due to evolution of applications in industries such as aerospace, defense, and automotive, in both the commercial and government sectors. Among the different types of components that make their way into such applications, digital logic and memory-based devices are of prime importance due to the ever-demanding need to store and compute vast amounts of data. This brings to the forefront the reliability of such components, especially in demanding applications in aerospace and defense where components are exposed to extremely harsh environments where high performance is critical. This is where we find that reliability is largely dependent on the susceptibility of semiconductor components to radiation induced effects - total ionizing dose (TID) and single event effects (SEE). Optimization in design, process, and packaging could make microelectronics more reliable to the radiation effects. Packaging material and thickness affect the incident flux of radiation on microelectronics and can help mitigate both dose and SEE effects in electronics. Additionally, packaging materials should not generate a high flux of secondary particles when exposed to environmental radiation (an example is alpha emissions from impurities in package mold compound or underfill). In this paper, the behavior of semiconductors at the component level due to radiation effects is evaluated. A reduced order model approach is presented where the analysis is performed at the functional block level then aggregated into component. The behavioral model can be used to predict the behavior across different operating, design, and process conditions.

Published: March 2024

The task of the final finish on the printed circuit board is to protect the copper surface and at the same time keep it active for the subsequent assembly steps. In high frequency applications, additionally the impact on the signal loss becomes of interest. Typically, the choice of the final finish is defined by the target application. The demands on solderability and bondability need to be considered and the acceptable price level needs to be defined. For the use in high frequency applications the signal integrity becomes of interest and adds on the reliability criteria such as solder joint reliability or corrosion resistance. In this study various surface finishes were tested towards their performance on insertion loss at high frequency. In contrast to earlier studies the frequency range was investigated up to 150 GHz and the impact of thermal or humid aging of the final finish was evaluated. Overall, seven different finishes have been selected including EPAG (Electroless palladium/Autocatalytic gold), I-Sn (Immersion tin), I-Ag (immersion silver), DIG (direct immersion gold), Au/Pd/Au (Gold/Palladium/Gold), ENIG (Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold) with high and medium phosphorous Nickel and ENEPIG (Electroless Nickel/Electroless Palladium/Immersion Gold). The paper compiles the data for insertion loss versus frequency for the different final finishes at layer thicknesses as commonly used in the PCB industry. The results in the insertion loss performance are correlated to other properties of the different final finishes such as reliability and assembly performance to identify the best candidates for high frequency applications.
Young, gifted and black: Black early career academics’ experiences in a South African university
Authors: Hlatshwayo Mlamuli N. , Majozi Nkululeko G. 
Published: March 2024

Orientation: Higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Global South remain complex organisations that are facing a myriad of challenges. The sector, already reeling from the logics of the imperial, colonial or apartheid and more recently, neoliberal influences, continues to struggle to adequately respond to these challenges.Research purpose: We used South Africa as a case study to explore and to theorise the challenges that black early career academics (ECAs) are facing as they seek to negotiate their being and belonging in a South African university.Motivation for the study: To shine a spotlight on the complex experiences of black ECAs and how they navigate their being and belonging in a public university.Research approach/design and method: We used a qualitative interpretivist case study to explore black ECAs’ negotiation of entry and success in the university. Additionally, we relied on semi-structured interviews as the main data generation tool.Main findings: We reveal how mentors/supervisors/line managers play a significant role in how black ECAs navigate and negotiate their entry, being and belonging in a neoliberal university. We also reveal an emergent tension between teaching and research, showing how black ECAs believe that teaching and learning is relegated to the margins at university.Practical/managerial implications: Exploring black ECAs experiences in university has implications for the retention, success and transformation of the higher education sector in South Africa.Contribution/value-add: Higher education in general and academic staff development in particular has an instrumental role to play in ensuring that black ECAs are well supported and mentored.

Authors: Van Niekerk Theunis , Marnewick Carl 
Published: March 2024

Background: The new chief digital officer (CDO) role within top management is shrouded with confusion and ambiguity.Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the differences between the traditional chief information officer (CIO) and more modern CDO role.Method: Being grounded within the paradigm of interpretivism, this study follows a qualitative research approach and adopts a narrative research strategy. This study explores the opinions of top management relating to both CIO and CDO roles through conducting in-depth interviews with open-ended questions. Insights into the data are gained through an analytical process of thematic content analysis.Results: This study shows that distinctions are emerging between the roles and responsibilities of the CDO and CIO roles within companies. Even though both roles are strategic, the CDO is responsible for digital strategy, while the CIO is responsible for the information technology (IT) strategy.Conclusion: This study illustrates that IT is becoming central to a company’s business model and this focus change requires specific skills and competencies within the company. Furthermore, the study shows that differences exist between the CIO and CDO roles within a company.Contribution: This study highlights key differences between the roles and responsibilities of the CDO and CIO. This study also identifies key contingency and institutional factors that influence a firm to introduce a CDO and clarifies the concept of digital transformation.
KNOWLEDGE ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY: CONTEMPORARY TRENDS AND NEW CONCEPTUALIZATION IN THE CONTEXT OF FUNDAMENTAL TRANSITION PROJECTS
Authors: Salem Boukthir Touhami 
Published: March 2024

Knowledge absorptive capacity (ACAP) is a dynamic organizational capability that enables the appropriation of valuable external knowledge to generate superior performance. This article discusses the following questions: Is ACAP still worth new conceptualizations? Moreover, if this is the case, what are the opportunities for additional studies to deepen the theoretical and empirical framework of this topic? To this end, we drew on the discussion of the most influential research papers and a comparative analysis between three young colleges in preparation for the first program accreditation. The theoretical discussion and the empirical results allowed the proposal of an integrative model of the ACAP processes, antecedents, and outcomes suitable for fundamental transition projects. It highlights many issues that have been understudied or ignored in the existing literature, such as the transformative and interactive nature of ACAP, the desired ACAP processes at the interface between potential and realized absorptive capacities, the necessity of a discriminative study of the antecedents and outcomes of ACAP; the ACAP-organizational learning link; the combined effects surrounding ACAP; and the role of ACAP ecosystem, organization maturity, and project maturity. In addition, the model suggests five ACAP key performance indicators: the relevance, depth, exhaustiveness, pervasion, and sustainability of knowledge. Considering these crucial issues, along with the diverse spectrum of organizations, sectors, and countries, paves the way for more in-depth research on ACAP and helps to reduce the ambiguity that still characterizes this domain.
